in terms of mechanics chronicle is at his lowest point in his entire career. He used to be hella clean, now not so much
thats exactly why i was so sad to see FPX v TH, the two best teams from the group stage in my eyes apart from GenG
honestly in the current era of valorant switch out Chronicle for Demon1 or Mako or some shit and youd have a team that could make top 3 without even trying
there is not a single safe space in the world that could torture that kind of information outta me
G2 way more cringe ngl
Americas: Aspas (Only player thats been carrying his team this season, id say cryo otherwise but the entire 100T are carrying their weight)
China: Idk man i dont watch china
Pacific: Something fs, mans is finally playing at the level he was hyped up to be at
EMEA: Leo without a doubt
He really needs to improve his skill floor cause we dont need him to pop off we just need him to never have games where he keeps losing the most important gunfights.
Usually when the team is doing well tho sacy is also doing well (not taking into account his unbelievably unlucky deaths)
So the challengers format per split is just a single elim??? Im guessing the winner gets points for ascension?
This is even dumber than franchise playoffs
APAC has Geng PRX and DRX, EMEA has FNC, TH, Navi, KC, on certain days Fut, APAC should definitely not get more than EMEA
Just gonna put this here to bump it up but
Geng isnt tier2, 100T is tier 1, EDG are tier2
ill be back after shanghai
idk man i personally as someone who's dealt with many autistic people throughout my life i find that using autistic as an insult is a lot worse than many other things.
Valorant bans are obviously gonna be soft cause its a childrens game and they have such a big emphasis on a non toxic environment
What is the most legendary VLR bait that you guys can recall
wtf is this guy doing man hes a cryptothrower
Sure he had a great system but its more likely to do with confidence and mental than anything.
His life has probably been on a downwards spiral since champs where he mentioned he got into a fight with his dad and he was in a really bad place, that was the time he had his worst performance on optic yet. After that he joined C9 where his performance wasnt horrible. Its safe to assume tho after he got sacked there was more internal conflict in his family and that mightve convinced him that being on a team was better than none at all and joined DSG. From there it all fell apart and his ego is probably still in shambles.
The dude doesnt exactly have a supportive family
the problem is that the format was a 6 team instead of 8 team format. Teams with BYEs in valorant have notoriously bad luck which i dont fault you for not knowing if youre new to the scene but if youve been a main stay for at least 2 years you should know this by now.
80% of the time teams that get BYEs who are favourites to win will lose their games unless its an overwhelmingly unlikely scenario. So much so to the point that everytime I do any pickems i always pick the teams with the BYEs to lose. I mean just look at all the leagues. In every league where theres real competition the teams that had BYEs lost their games.
Its probably due to a lack of momentum and so they start cold and go out cold too
it would be completely fair and justified if T1 werent the ones to make it instead
no one said cryo was close to aspas
Byes just arent advantageous, you start off with much less momentum and getting rolled by PRX probably didnt help with their getting warm either. You could see that the later on it went in the GenG match they were hitting more clean shots and finally looking like themselves but it was too late.
did you even watch the match against geng or are you being dense on purpose
DRX fault for losing to 2 of the global top 3 who each had warmup games
since the beginning of valorant weve seen that byes arent advantageous, the format is at fault for sure
being first seed isnt an advantage atp in valorant. More often than not weve seen favourites lose whenever theyve gained a bye. There shouldve just been an 8 team playoffs and first seeds given matches against the lowest seeds to stop having this shit happen every single time we have a qualifications
ah yes we love that 15IQ VLR logic.
Anyone with a brain would understand that DRX are infinitely better than T1
youre actually so stupid for saying that shit.
DRX are and have been neck and neck with Geng for this whole year so far. T1 on the otherhand dont know how to be consistent to save their lives. They caught a GenG who werent shooting back and managed to qualify but DRX had to face 2 activated opponents all 3 of which would stomp T1 9/10 times.
Its just ridiculous that T1 qualified when its so clearly obvious who the top 3 apac teams are. At the very least with Americas G2 qualifying isnt as egregious considering that at least in the playoffs G2 can be considered within the top 3 on a good day. That cant be said for T1
even if you wanna make it out to be that way both PRX and GenG are INFINITELY harder opponents than T1. Geng got 1 chance to make a mistake and redeem themselves whereas it was done for DRX the moment they lost to PRX.
T1 just get to stroll along while DRX who got first seed had to play against more difficult opponents because of it and start off with 0 momentum. I just dont understand riot and their intense desire to make qualification tourneys be as unfair as possible
the fact that a team that just got 13-2ed by a Geng who arent at their peak qualified for an international over DRX is beyond me man. Riot messed up with this one
eh not rlly, i dont support any team from my country either. im guessing the dude just isnt patriotic. Hard to root based off your country when you hate everything abt it
except he cant get the guy out his head which seems to imply ratzham owns him
yea p accurate lmao. Hes baits ppl into getting mad so that he can say that he was just trolling and feel good about himself and then he gets actually pissed whenever people call him out on it
GenG if they can get back to their shooting form easily take down PRX. PRX recently and even arguably during champs lacked any strategic depth. They always lost when their firepower was matched
yea his style of calling, the way it was changing throughout the map round to round, the way hed read the opponents, it was so engaging. It was like watching optic v loud cause of the constant adaptations and nothing is more entertaining to watch in this game
Idc where you put the rest theyre ALL trash
everyone is glazing them for making it. Theyre so clearly mid asf but the fact that theyve exceeded everyones expectations has ppl saying theyre insane
bro already forgot what happened in madrid x_x
all the teams in the world rn are just flat out bad tho, theres really no consistency so far this year and until we get a set meta that is really flexible and allows for a lot of different counter play then i dont think that will change much
While that is true the teams not from first seed WILL NOT win playoffs so there isnt much to worry about there (other than possibly 100T).
Unless KRU win playoffs and then go on a tear again in split 2 sen likely wont lose their spot. Sen still have the most points in all of the VCT leagues at 9 points
because theyre in the shittiest fucking region, how is that even a serious question???
yea but what you dont understand with all these comparisons to TH and DRX is that SEN are in by far the most competitive VCT league. PRX, TH, Loud and KC are all losing to teams they shouldnt be losing to but they have enough of a buffer against the bottom teams that they dont even need to worry about qualifying for playoffs or not. In Americas rn literally every team can compete with each other apart from MIBR and Furia.
SEN looked only decent against Lev and managed to get all the rounds that they did but theyre going against the best player in the world playing the best game in the entire history of VCT. Then they went against EG and had near 0 material to review to anti against them and choked when they came against unexpected lurks and the vastly uncharacteristic performance of Jawgemo and Apoth. Its the exact same thing that just happened against loud with the whole deadlock gimmick and the fact that EVERYONE on Loud today was bringing a level that they hadnt done in any game prior to the game against Sentinels.
If any of TH, KC, or PRX went against this kind of competition NOT A SINGLE ONE OF THEM would qualify for playoffs either other than MAYBE TH considering they just got woot and would be playing with him for these last 2 matches
Yea but Sentinels werent nearly as good an ahead of the meta as FNC was. There are so many competitive teams currently that can punch above their weight and they all bring their A game against a Sen who havent had the time to reinvent themselves.
Theyre dried out, they just cant bring 100% all the time and this is exactly what that is. They were doing well in terms of adapting to loud but the issue was just that they werent hitting their shots or clutching rounds when it mattered and the 10-2 on defense made it impossible to get a comeback on the attack side which is where they excel.
