Praying for it

They'll still make it to champs, how's G2 doing??

THAT WAS SUCH A NASTY FLICK

I've been preaching about these guys all LCQ, and people are STILL underestimating them because they had a slump for 4 games.

@Onur pls, we want to know :)

Tell that to Victor or Jinggg when they're popping

VLR's just wack, Aspas has always been INSANE

You don't like TGRD :(

I'll mark your words but I doubt it. He's a very good player don't get me wrong, but he's never been specifically good at smokes.

Did you know NTH only won vs Xerxia?

FNS: Valid
Steel: Ass

Ok but he hasn't been smokes his entire career, and even if he was, I highly doubt he'd be as good as Marved/Mako/Mindfreak/Supamen.

Yeah nah

Fake flagger

You mean onslayers

Godlike thread

Sick isn’t better than supamen right now

THEY BEAT NTH 21-19 WOW THEYRE SO GOOD

Appreciate the edit :)

EDG is good but ppl are going way too crazy they literally just beat northeption on a 21-19 decider map

Good luck moving. Sadge I didn’t make the list but we can’t ALL be there. Meche is fun tho, have a nice time!!

Oh cool I’m aero/mech in the NY area

If TGRD don’t pull off an underdog upset, faze or c9 are taking it. I have no confidence in 100T tbh even tho I really like the players. They’re just not quite there imo.

I want guard to win so much but I feel like they lose here and win the rematch in the grand finals. We’ll see tho, it’s gonna be a close game.

Reviving this

SA above apac bc Loud and Leviatan are both insane.

FInally someone who doesn't underestimate TGRD

He's absolutely not lmao. You want him to replace Dapr or Zellsis? Absolute cap

Guard are still winning dw

Is back on track. Nt to sen tho. They weren’t the joke they were for the last two stages, and despite the many errors, they played their hearts out.

Dude faze with dicey, Babybay, supamen, poised, and derrek would beat everyone in NA and not even drop a map till they face Optic. Actually imagine if you replaced poised with Asuna or nismo or someone

You’re being a statistic Steven. In the recent loss (really the only one we should count), NRG lost 13-11 on the final map, and it was close. They’ve also been playing pretty well since then (2-0ing EG, who are no slobs). I think NRG win the rematch.

Nah as a player he’s good but losing their coaches fucked c9. They’ve been shaky ever since.

Genuinely yeah

Still ignoring TGRD, your mistake

I think Saya deserves to be there. Despite going out in 2, he went CRAZY at iceland. Other than that great list.

Bad bait, Leviatan + bootcamp in EMEA will fuck every team at champs unironically

Please let them go back to Korea, NA already has too many teams

Saya would not wanna go back lmao

He’s just different. Such a smart player.

No honestly I agree. I think some teams could put up a fight but oglu is looking goooood

Mel on desk w Mimi and golden boy PLUS Bren and sideshow cast would be amazing for grand final

Don't have one but it was round 10 for OGLU I think

That clutch was NASTY

Omg na bad what an original and exciting bait you’ve made!

George reported riot didn’t like sentinel’s initial proposal

BR + LAS + LAN = 4 slots. EU and NA and APAC all get 3.

Riot definitely doesn't like SEN, TSM, Faze, etc because of their orgs but they'll probably be forced to get Sentinels purely for viewership. It's a sad state of affairs but I bet it'll happen.

TSM are def not a lock. Riot specifically didn't like their proposal, and they're company isn't good financially. Same with Faze. Also these matches that happen right now mean NOTHING for franchising. Riot doesn't care that much what team you field or how "good" they are. They care that your org will be a good partner for the next 4 years. People are definitely thinking way too short term about this. Once franchising hits, all teams that we currently have will likely be no more. There will be an insane amount of roster moves, and I'd guess teams will snatch up free agents to make insane 8-10 man teams (with 5 players inactive) just so they can mix and match without having to deal with buyouts.

My guess is 100T, Optic, and C9 are locks. Popular plus been in na valorant plus good orgs that riot likes. In terms of orgs that riot likes there’s TGRD, NRG, EG, and T1 (yes they still want to be in NA sadly). Then there’s the problem children of SEN, Faze, and TSM who’s proposals riot didnt like, but have insane amounts of popularity. My final guess (assuming 5 slots) is:

100T
C9
SEN
Optic
TGRD (hopium)
