Acend, TL, Gambit are heavy favorites imo

Fnatic and KRU is close but Id take fnatic

Ive been saying this literally since beta. They are not very good. They rely almost entirely on gimmick strats and set pieces. They can bully small teams all they want but when they play vs real teams that can shut their set plays down they are completely lost. They cant improvise mid round at all or play from a disadvantageous position whatsoever. When theyre not reading off a script that tells them exactly when and where to use their utiI they are helpless. I was surprised at how close they made map 1 and 3 this time, since usually when they go down big early they fold. They need to spend a lot of time pugging it out, improving as individuals, and figuring out how to work off script. They have potential and are easily the best team in Asia but internationally they are not ready

Jazzykins 1-10 in opening duels damn

VS will play Liquid in quarters if they win, and Liquid will obliterate them

34 degrees F room? Poor bastard playing in a fridge

VAMOS KRU

#SENTHEMHOME

I take everything ive said about nagzet back

As long as he sticks to the rifles lol

Tenz shaking so bad jesus

Did you all see his hand when he was drinking that redbull cup? Looked like he had parkinsons

Yep, gg. Now we have to watch dogshit SEN go out in quarters

Un fucking believable

NAGZET CANT KILL DAPR WHEN HES NOT EVEN LOOKING HOLY FUCK

KICK THIS BOT

Nagzet is the worst awper i have ever seen.

Spending the rest of my life in a bhutanese monastery

Bad ruling, should never have come to this point anyway. If a bad referee decision changes the outcome of a real sports match, the game is not replayed, let alone overturned. Imagine if a world cup match was overturned because the referee missed a penalty, then replayed instead after people cried. There would literally be riots

I understand there is precedent with x10 and vgia but the problem is that the precedent is stupid. The fact that you are all ok with allowing riot to overturn the result of a match after the fact, at their discretion, is insane. If Furia vs SEN was stopped to investigate an "exploit" that wasnt actually an exploit, then this game shouldve been stopped too considering this exact bug has been used and punished before. If a foul is not noticed by a referee, it is not a foul. Its like this in all real sports because then you get braindead situations like this by trying to overturn the result of a match instead.

Shambolic from Riot

im not brazilian, i dont particularly care about what goes on in brazil

my country for the record

kazakhstan 5.1 and dropping yearly
usa 5.0 and rising yearly

embarassing, developed country having murder rate rise and life expectancy drop in 2021

just joking about how racists were saying murder is just part of brazilian culture because some 12yo kids were sending death threats on twitter

ofc, USA 20k+ murders last year, its in their culture

sentinels is a corporate content org, they have no history. irrevelant in esports and they know it lol. they will never win anything again so they know they need to stir up shit to stay relevant

Dont know why this moron ever opens his mouth tbh, dude is one of the worst players at this event. Does he not realize that he is the problem lmao

Valorant on LAN LUL

what round?

damn where? i was playing with some friends in SoCal and they were getting 75

both LA and Vancouver get ~75 ping, I play quite frequently with my friends on the west coast. 90 is quite high for west coast. I know UK/France/Spain should all get around 90-100 ping

89 ping to us east? looks like an eu player

Where are avez and shalaby going? 👀

no it wasnt lol, riot called tech timeout because they thought furia was using an exploit (they werent)

gg nice tech pause to break the comeback

riot called in a favor, cant let sentinels lose so early

go home furia please

4 free rounds thrown now, embarassing

Nt secret

ТАЩИ АЯЗ

You only named 25, DC isnt a state

please tell me youre baiting

Can you name all Russian Oblasts? Or Japanese Prefectures? Imagine thinking that not being able to name the us STATES is anywhere near as embarrassing as not being able to find Hungary on a map.

this is your brain on burgers, everyone

So? CIS is not Europe or Asia, it is CIS. It is not a geographic grouping, but a political one

CIS is a separate thing lmao

Russia yes CIS no

android GOAT chamber

99% sure its Reject

cope starting before champions this time, jesus

???

most valorant players i see have extreme inferiority complexes lol

see: our wonderful OP here, dude makes a thread literally every single day crying about cs for some reason or other. mental illness

Carlos would sign fit1nho 100%, carlos would never pass up the opportunity to shoehorn in a spanish player on his teams. this rumour cant be G2

Probably will, only if Vikings actually show up this time will they not make it. Secret have 0 experience because they couldnt make it to berlin and are shit anyway

Lets gooo Riot give CR an easy group for those sweet JP playoff views

It used to work like that for Russian but "clunkier" pronounciations just got dropped eventually. Its just easier to say "здраствуйте" without the first в. And for "его" and "ого" the pronounciation naturally evolved over time but the spelling never did.

But in theory Russian is a phonetic language, where one letter makes one sound

Typically ого and его are pronounced with v sound instead of hard g, there is an actual rule which determines exactly when hard g becomes v but i dont remember

And no, russian pronounciation doesnt always match spelling. See: "Здравствуйте", literally the first russian word youll learn and the pronounciation doesnt match the spelling. The first "в" is silent

Gambit: I am from Kazakhstan, Hobbit is my favorite CS player, he plays for Gambit, ez enough

JP teams: it is literally human nature to want to root for the underdog, so I like them

where is shooter

big chungus

peri probably retiring?

False ban, cleared by riot

Although he did play in vct while under the 16 year age limit, so he is banned for that lol

Riot are such massive koreaboos they literally subsidized korean orgs' valorant teams too. They really think that Korea can make valorant as big as they made league lol

Language barrier + extremely low average age in these countries. Hard to coordinate when your team is all under the age of 16 and dont speak good English. Unlike in NA where 99% of people speak fluently or even EU where almost all do unless you get Turks or Russki
