Bro no one "tactially throws" especially if you have to face FUCKING LOUD for elimination!!!

Hopefully in franchising with more frequent games, we'll get a truly dominant team

We're actually gonna have Loud vs Optic IN THE FIRST ELIM GAME

What the fuck is going on....

LMFAOOO TREMBO THIS IS A VLR OVERREACT MOMENT

At least wait till the first map is over!!

If Optic lose we get the FINALS of last master IN THE FIRST FUCKING ELIMINATION. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK

Wtf just happwned

tonyhart7 moment

I stand by my point tbh. They got smoked on one map by DRX in groups. Zeta was smoked on two.

Bro these comments are so annoying

If Sacy gets hit by a bus, Aspas gets food poisoning, and Saadhak gets a concussion then MAYBE Kru can take a map

But my point is Japan CAN perform well and Zeta proved that. Obviously Japanese teams aren't as consistent as NA/EU/DRX/Loud/Prx, but they are still contenders and that's really great to see. All last year, there was no hope that they could do anything, but now it seems possible. That's a big step, and if it keeps trending in that direction (with the inane Japanese viewership/interest), we could see Japan become super strong in a few years. Even if (in the worst case sceneario) NTH goes out in two games and doesn't win a map this tournament, that point is still true.

Fluke implies it was undeserved, which isn't fair. Zeta were just better.

Sorry I meant Stewie2k obviously

Nah Tarik/S1mple/Forsaken/Bdog/Ban will

We're talking about Japan in general, NTH just lost one map lollll

No cap true

I mean Japan did get 3rd last masters, that did happen

That's so misleading. Sure they've only won 1 thing, but so has nearly every other team from a major region in Valorant. DRX and Loud farm their weaker regions and get "wins" based on that. Besides Optic were second in Berlin, which makes them tied with M3C for greatest number of wins/second places in international events. Ascend only got to finals at Champs (and regional masters 1) and Sen only did at the first international.

They already have munchkin tho. I do agree T1 should go to korea for the health of both the NA and Korean regions but sadly they want the NA clout :/

Definitely possible! If there's a Guild v Optic rematch, whoever lost the first game has a better chance to win imo.

Then if Xerxia beat FPX, they play another EU team with subs.

Sorry imma have to hope optic wins that one so we get a Loud v Optic rematch. That would be insane.

Sure they lost the first map but they are no joke, definitely way better than Japan teams pre-Zeta. There was some messy stuff but also some great stuff

for funnies, go to plat chat

If they're negative I don't need to hear em!!

Bold

See I thought that too but they def have a lot more strats and I'm not seeing insane aggression like PRX does yet.

Yeah I'm switching to PRX for this masters but then back to my love TGRD.

HE DIED TO THE TURRET????

Also the NICEEEEEE's are amazing as always

I definitely underestimated NTH. I thought of them as more of a PRX lite rush team but they're showing some pretty great strats already against DRX

Nueva York
family's been here forever

Boaster solos you

I agree with you tbh; they always do insane in groups. It's about whether they can keep that up in playoffs.

Nah their costreams are funny as fuck you should watch em. Sliggy is great as well ofc

GOOD LUCK TO THEM

HELL YEAH

Yinsu?? She's been one of the main hosts since forever in Valo.

British + Fnatic flair + L + ratio + you can't fall off bc you were never good

Honestly it's a little funny becasue no one in VCT is intimidating, but I really like seeing how many regions are there. That's such a cool highlight.

British + Fnatic fan = mostly bad
(Hasanity is the one exception he got better)

You're boring af ngl

LETS GO MASTERS IS GONNA START SOON

Wasn't on the tiermaker :(
I'd put them below everyone tho lmao

I feel good abt this

Maybe! Also I like your flair

Oh man Leviathan is fucked...

Totally agree, and since saya is an insane headshot machine/sniper, it should be good for him as well. I just hope they find a solution for their entry worries.

Same, as soon as Masters finishes I'm switching my fair back to them.

4!
