Nah they're not winning another trophy this year
The competition is just too stacked and too hungry now
You can yap as much as you want but Lock-in will actually be remembered more than most Masters events
A lot was different but it was still a T1 international tournament organized by Riot
It also gave us the best and most memorable series in VCT history
Yes there were a lot of mid teams at the tournament but the amount of actual banger teams was still the same (The best Asian teams remained unchanged in PRX and DRX, The best Americas teams still had their core 3 in Optic, Loud and Lev and EMEA had the FPX and Fnatic core so it was even footing).
Chronicle disrespect is so annoying tbh
3 international titles
2 different teams
got cucked in 2022
Hardest role in the team
2nd best rated player at masters Berlin which they won
4th best rated players at champs 2021 (2nd place)
1.11 rating (300+ rounds) at lock-in which they won
3rd best rated at masters tokyo which they won
Lowest placement at an international tournament was 4th at champs in which he underperformed for the first time in his career
False narrative that he got carried in his title wins

2022 Marved for sure (Crashies underrated as well), Ardiis/Zyppan deserve a shout as well
2023 Jingg for sure (he was the most impactful PRX player by far and they had a very good year overall)
I still don't see them doing better than NRG and Sentinels but they can outperform G2 and C9 for sure no?
Then in playoffs anything can happen if their shooters shoot
They've got some a lot of real shooters now
Bro N4rrate?
Leo
Aspas
Alfajer
Demon1
Ethan
Lev for Americas
TH for EMEA
BLG for China
Pacific is gonna be right
Legit think they're only going to be hungry for the one thing they haven't won yet which is Champions but you know maybe not making an international event might wake up that fire again
saw their vid today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QR48b6ZDQNw
Yeah these guys just aren't hungry anymore it feels like
Just some colleagues playing the game as a job (and Elma ain't really helping)
They deffo need a vibe merchant that's not the IGL suffering during the game
4/7 wins now
Fnatic lost (only 1 map ban back then)
Optic won
FPX won
Optic lost
EG lost
EG won
Sen won
Basically Pacific should come from the lower bracket if they ever wanna win a tournament lol (they can't deal with the pressure of being the favorites)
Yeah facts but one thing that remains true is that single-elimination to qualify for a major event ain't it and it should never ever happen again
Yeah since it had double-elim unlike kick-off
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QR48b6ZDQNw
No hunger and drive basically
My bad on the suboptimal comp remark but I was pretty much spot on
Gen.G in Shangai in a group with Sen and Vitality and they lose to both
Easy preds
Murica
Lev
NRG
Loud
Memea
TH
VIT
FNC
Pacefic
DRX
PRX
GEN.G
Aspas
Less
Leo
F0rsaken
Mako
Don't care about language barrier or IGL they will fry
Paper Rex honorable mention as the uncrowned kings ❤️
Nah if you go by titles it's still Chronicle
Man was just a couple of rounds away from winning champs as well
Is it fair to say that EU could possibly become the dominant region in a few years when most pro players are actually just Valorant players with no CS background?
Definitely not
It's still an FPS game and Europe dominates those games
I think we will already see the resurgence of EU in the coming future (Shangai and Champs)
How do you guys think it's gonna develop
Will it be EU dominated?
Will it be just as it is right now (competitive between most regions)?
Will Asia become the best?
Will you still be playing or watching the game?
They're winning in Shangai tho it's always been like that
There I said it
Lev and NRG will easily make it and that 3rd spot will be highly contested but Sen will barely miss out on it
Best crowds
Almost no tech pauses
Best timezone
2 tournaments in Asia now aaaaaaaahhhhh
Second masters = EMEA win
Champions = Americas or EMEA
It's a cycle
My prediction:
Fnatic wins Shangai
Team Heretics/Leviatan wins Champions
in the game
insane performance
I feel so bad for him aaaaaarhhh
Want Gen.G to win but bloody love Amine
Surely no massive comeback this time?
Basically gets them a couple of rounds every single map
Way more than other teams
You don't care about the first World Champions and possibly the first Asian champions yeah get the fuck out
is legit just hope Gen.G chokes
Sorry not sorry
for the amount of round both teams won that they should've lost
They should stomp Ascent
Will be tough with how hungry certain teams will be (NRG, Lev, Fnatic,...)
yeah they will be an actual top 4 team this whole year
They're the real deal
Need the real big dogs to step up and challenge them (NRG and Fnatic I'm looking at you 2 especially)
Gen.G
NRG
Fnatic
TH
Lev
Loud at champs
Prx
Vitality
(Sen/KC I'm not sure tbh they might have peaked already)
they're actually the only world class team at the tournament
All the others have their fair share of glaring issues
Sen can only play a couple of maps to a high level for example.
But understandable at the start of the year
Breeze (should be easy)
Bind (Gen.G is 2-0 + have tape on Sen)
Ascent (Gen.G is a straight up better default Ascent comp team)
Would be nice to have another 5 map banger ending on Icebox to start the year tho
it's gonna be heartbreak
Asia fully deserve their first title so it's time to earn it today
Paper Rex will just put him on perma clove no?
They would make it work as well
more bundles sold
who is the real winner now huh?
Never seen a bigger cap
Yeah very good agent for ranked and not for pro play
