All I'm saying is that beating everyone in groups mean nothing if you fail in playoffs. If they didn't lose now they'd lose later. If you can't understand that logic, can't be helped. If those other guys didn't deserve it, they'd get instantly knocked down on the first match of Shanghai. We'll see when we get there.

NRG and SEN had high hopes. and they're nowhere to be found. That's the thing about Valorant. Anyone can beat anyone at any given day. Just how the cookie crumbles. Upsets make it more entertaining to watch, at least IMO.

it's not even about the format. If they truly deserved to be there, they'd get the wins when it counted. They got outplayed at the end. just like KRU and LEV did in AMER lol. Anything can happen, the most deserving team will win when it matters most.

they bought the SEN bundle

yep, that's the running joke. South NA

I'm just saying he painted a target on his back. Whether he's doing that now or not is irrelevant. People remember those things in competitive sports/games.

so in order for SEN to make it, LOUD has to win and for EG to make it, LOUD has to lose? Is that right?

People would hate demon1 less if he was more humble. calling everyone trash and he's the goat, and the "I don't care, i'm the best" makes you the villian and everyone naturally will want to root against you.

and don't forget Potter also helped Ethan and Demon1 succeed a lot in that roster. That's another reason why Chet isn't matching that same winning mentality.

nah, just asking about the last 2 slots for the reg season

100T already locked in

Who are most likely taking it? Any thoughts or predictions?

Not having Potter is also the problem. Each player and coach has their strengths and weaknesses. Like AstroGalaxy said, there can be more reasons than one.

Got these kids on Fraud Watch with how bad they're losing to everyone. Shows how good Potter was compared to Chet. 5 good players but shit team. Go figure.

on god

your stars increase the more you post.

sinatraa's raze is better than all of them

fnatic gonna disband soon

clear upgrade? he couldn't hang in Tier 2 Americas and couldn't hang in Tier 1 Pacific. What kind of delulu you smokin'? He isn't the same anymore. Until he finds the right team to set him up for success, we can all assume he's not going to reach his ceiling to showcase what he showed in the past.

you say no way but time and time again we seen Potter and squad cook. At some point it's not about the guns anymore, it's about how they're shooting. If they are finding ways to completely shut down opponents game plan. coming up with reads and good decisions doesn't matter how good the opponents are, they got figured out and outplayed.

that's what happens when a team is slowly losing their confidence. sucks to see. we all want them to be competitive. the hype was real signing 5 master/champs winners in one team

They played the most pre-season games got studied and they're burnt out. it's only natural to get owned after that. Sucks to see.

expected this to happen to semen1 the same way it happened to yay. there's always bigger sharks in the sea. Brotha was only eatin' cuz Potter + his EG team. Now that he's out of the team he can't repeat the same meal. Cya.

facts

it's different because he doesn't flaunt his ego like demon1 does.

just goes to show team cohesion, synergy, and coaching matters. lol. demon1 ain't doing anything rn compared to what he did in EG.

IGL and Coach / coaching staff

sinatraa? goat with raze

I'm just naming him because when you have 5 guys who have won masters/champs before who can't cohesively work together to bring in the dubs. I'm going to look straight up to coach and coaching staff. He isn't doing enough if they're losing this badly.

Not happening. Chet needs to get better.

Chet getting more exposed by the minute

Ethan with 9% and 19% HS percentage. Boy needs help lol

what reason does FNS have to lie about those things? Ask yourself that.

words never truer.

for sure. i'm a sinatraa fan so i know. he just has innate skills and in-game sense. which is why he was so good in Overwatch. Pretty sure any game he plays if he even tries a little he'd learn it quick. Just too bad all the controversy messed with his chances for a pro gaming future

Bleed for sure

bowling, billiards/pool

Baseball is boring. used to go to SF Giants and Oakland A's games as a kid. Only good to grab beers and shoot the shit with friends going with you. Watching SJ Sharks live is fun though

Prince of Tennis clears both of deez

Yay goin back to America soon with how bad he's playing. Guaranteed.

ngl, would've been nice to see how he would do in modern day Valorant. when he first joined SEN everyone else was still learning the game so they won by pure shooting and less strats.

wasn't a rumor, he said it on stream that he actually trialed for them. and he did well too,. it's just who is going to bring someone in when they have the opportunity to bring in most recent champs winners instead.

yes, he was close but then they had the opportunity to get demon1 and ethan so that happened instead

guaranteed Yay and potentially the entire team will get dropped if bleed goes 0-10 Lol or whatever the max number of games are

Can't be washed if the team is entirely new. more like they're being tested, put on Fraud Watch since this is a whole new team.

🐀 zam

the only thing he clears is his military service by whatever medical reason he used to get outta it. Lol.

Shahzam isn't indian though right?

SEN played a lot so a lot of their footage has been studied, they need to start cooking up more stuff if they want longevity

that's not true, i have friends who played WAYYYY more hours than me and still blow. Practice and training can only take you so far if you 1. don't have innate talent and 2. can't learn on the fly and 3. just bad at video games Lol
