EMEA looked hella strong this year after Masters Reykjavik and since the win there SEN started going downhill. Though I feel like 2022 will be an even more interesting year with how many teams have taken practice seriously and have a much better understanding of the game now. This includes NA as well.

I loved their joy and celebration after they won the last round and how their coach came running so fast to them. Made me really happy and honestly I felt so happy to see their hardwork pay off.

Cosplay diff tbh

Don't you remember the rule? Double tap.

This should have given them the confidence they felt lacking. Hopefully they pull back in the coming maps.

That little hope of a comeback could have given them the confidence they needed for the coming maps. Hope they can pull it back.

Coach - Trump
Most important strat - build a wall

Lakia getting trolled by VS.

In masters berlin they were so much better with their fragging and utility play, I can't see even 1% of that here. Sure C9 is looking amazing but VS doesn't look anything like the old VS.

This is not the Vision Strikers I remember from Masters Berlin. Their teamplay is bad, their fights are bad, no trading or pressure creation and just dry peeking. Whatever happened to the utility masters and disciplined Vision Strikers. They managed to get bad and bad since Masters Berlin.

There's more but I can't think of anyone on the top of my head.

They don't care about winning and making bucks when they can make players and sell them at higher prices than the prize pool.

How?

7. Lose to VS and go back home
8. Make another insane player
9. Sell him at a high price
10. Repeat

Because he grew.

Derke
L1NK
Sacy
Doma

Find 2 good players and shave their head as contract to finish the lineup.
And then have KRU's coach as coach.

Edit - Doma is now signed for being bald.

Make the best team with bald players. #BaldBuff

I wonder if you made Pickems and how surprised you've been since the tournament has become so unpredictable. Thanks for the insight though, I somehow feel like the results could honestly just go in any direction.

I wonder how future tournaments will be like? Regions would have caught up even more and it will not be a region dominated game.

Derke - duelist
Sacy - initiator
Keznit - other initiator
L1NK - smokes/sentinel
FNS - igl and sentinel

Can? Yes. Will? Yes. Hotel? Trivago.

Finally thief is signed. Congratulations to all of them. A packed roster.

Lol?

Sentinels giving TSM vibes from the early days. Winning masters and then downhill ride.

Then read + counter

This tournament is so goddamn unique and fun for being the first major, upsets and performances from underdogs and being so unpredictable. Thank you valorant for champions tourney. Congrats to all the teams that made to the playoffs.

LETS GO KRUUUU

IKR its just so much fun because of that, I wanted to play a match but I can't even stop watching the matches now.

KRU beating SEN?

Believe in the lord gtnJESUS.

This tournament is just balanced AF and FUN and UNPREDICTABLE.

How is it scripted? You're saying there can't be any upsets?

I'm pretty sure gtnJESUS will show you all the path towards the light.

Agreed

Sacy and gtnJESUS. gtnJESUS is the real MVP.

LMFAO

Best fragger in the game

Liquidpedia says foxz

Someone who read VK really well and someone who is now respected a lot. Foxz

HLTV dead like the game, users come here to enjoy the liveliness here.

Even the teams we've seen are being very unpredictable.

I've already lost 30k channel points as the matches are so damn unpredictable, the pickems are all messed up as well. Every team is somehow pulling out some card and just surprising us.

He's really amazing and still putting amazing numbers, sadly his team can't keep up to support him.

I hope you get over that match someday and not make it a benchmark.

I mean it is winter afterall.

I don't want to write this but VIV OMEGALUL KEYD for the way they're playing rn.

And now sScary has an amazing flank, these starts are just next level.

This match is just hilarious tbh

He washed your brain and now you can't comprehend simple information.
