their set plays felt out of sync, someone on krü would die and then another teammate would die from the same angle, doesn’t feel like how they were playing against lev. they lost against lev but still played very well

it really doesn’t feel like better competition though, krü didn’t look like they had a plan for most rounds

no series win makes sense, playoffs feel like a coinflip. imo, it doesn’t feel like it’s better competition, it feels like teams randomly do good and randomly do bad for seemingly no reason.

moose is a great fit for c9

based

cryo has always been similar to sayf, someone who is an insane player but gets held back by his team a lot

YOU FUCKING MELONS!

bro no one on loud is shootiing back rn, can't blame this solely on qck

but yeah he's a bad player

fine, i'll agree with you on just this one take

vlr users when no shit talk: "VALORANT IS FOR BABIES, RIOT IS SO CRINGE"
vlr users when shit talk: "this dude is so cringe getting up from his chair"

[LOUD INCORRECT BUZZER]

they should get more credit than other reserve players, yes, but they should not be considered champs winners. they weren't the ones playing, they helped the players win.

all they need to do is hire someone that listens to the pros/community before making rash decisions. Leo always makes some rash and speedy decision before thinking (especially with denying Guard players in Franchising). Even if it’s not solely him, he’s the face of it and has to accept the consequences that come with it

an 8 round differential shouldn’t put a 1st seed in double elim 1 game away from qualifying while putting a 2nd seed in a single elim game 2 games away from qualifying

leave it to riot to put a team in a single elim game because they lost 1 series 1-2 in regular season, all because another team won 8 more rounds than you

i think this is the most likely outcome as well. my issue is the fact that G2 is even in playoffs to begin with. this team is NOT top 6 in Americas 😭

this format allows for too many flukes to occur, especially when every single region has a one sided group. this format from riot fucking blows

this is what could happen bc of the dogshit format for qualifying that nobody likes. i have a feeling every region will have a fluke team that quals (happened in Pacific, will probably happen in EMEA). i mean shit, PRX almost didn’t qual against Talon bc they lost 1 singular series in split 1. sad to see teams outside of the top 3 qual

Pacific:
PRX
T1
GenG
(no DRX)

EMEA:
Fnatic
KC
FUT
(no Navi or TH)

Americas:
G2
LOUD
Kru
(no LEV)

China:
Trace
DRG
FPX
(no EDG)

i mean DRX lost twice fairly after getting 1st seed, but yeah i agree w navi

you may have won this battle, but you lost the war in 1776

SEN aren’t playing rn, wdym

fans

cause i wanna see Navi get eliminated so ardiis saves NRG

fakest PRX fan i’ve ever seen

FNC lost to KC
SEN lost to EG
DRX lost to T1

every team has their kryptonite

and yet i’m still bored watching, ardiis should come back to NA and save NRG

nice jinx bro

"i can't understand"
"maybe i'm biased"
"correct me if i'm wrong though"

i am well aware it is an opinion

in a gameplay context it makes sense, i was moreso talking about people calling jinggg cringe for how he talks and acts or other stuff of the sort, stuff that isn't even really related to valorant

no one in particular on vlr comes to mind, but i've seen quite a bit of people hate on PRX on twitter and vlr

i can't understand how people can hate this team and the players. the fans? yeah, i'll give that to you. but the players? maybe i'm biased but i just can't see a reason to hate the individual members of prx. even the org and its staff are all cool people.

feels like people hate PRX just bc they're hard to hate, correct me if i'm wrong though

kendrick has already addressed 98% of what drake has said about him on previous albums, drake fans just can't understand it cause it's too complex

all of drake's shit is new and is stuff drake has never addressed before

i'm not offended by it, i just don't think it's funny and it feels lazy

great engagement bait though, it did what it wanted to do

NRG fans get an automatic -100 on the MCAT, you're fucked

prx has a pretty popular fanbase in valorant and it's not as bad as SEN tbh

yeah, whenever they're laughing and committing to their set plays, they always go crazy (Talon 13-0, even mindfreak was laughing when they ran it down to stop Talon from saving guns)

after seeing their playoff matches i'm convinced that this new iteration of this team is godlike.

jinggg is back mentally and his entries are better than ever
something can op on any agent and is an amazing secondary duelist
f0rsaken is one of the best support flex players ever and relinquished igling to jinggg and something
mindfreak is cold and has his clutch factor back
david is shooting and carrying more than he ever has
alecks is innovating so hard, no sentinel on lotus is meta defining in a way that only PRX could pull off

Even if they don't win Shanghai or Champs, I'm just happy this team is back and better than ever. Once they figure out one more map they can rely on (alongside Lotus, Sunset, Ascent, and Bind) they'll have an insane map pool going into Shanghai.

yeah i know i didn't

but also i think the kru and c9 changes are more impressive, with only a month of practice these two teams were nearly unstoppable since split 1 started, SEN had their roster since champs 2023 and were still a mid team with dephh. not that it's NOT impressive to win a major, but KRU and c9 bombed out so hard in kickoff that it's laughable how good they are now

i see a reality where they get placed in playoffs with the path to UBF being Navi and then LEV

anything beyond that reality is inexcusable to not get top 3, especially with their insane lotus comp

i don't think zekken is offended by it, i think it's just not funny tbh

i was moreso thinking between kickoff and split 1 and not before, but yeah those roster changes were great

turned 2 of the worst teams in americas to two of the best teams

they know exactly where the T1 players are, like wtf

and they don’t miss their shots either

considering they got 2 3rd places with replacements with this core, yes

W

proud to be an American PRX supporter who’s normal

their comp on this map is actually meta shattering, they fucking destroyed Talon on it and are now destroying T1. I’m so excited to them play this map at Shanghai

forsaken calls on pistols, jinggg and something call on all other rounds (confirmed by forsaken)

mods?

we will respectfully pass on your support 🩷
