Dephh

I'm beating the turtle pope in Elden Ring to death with a club. APAC losing another international final would be tragic, ESPECIALLY with map ban advantage.

How popular is Valorant at PC bangs nowadays? Last time I saw a list many months ago placing it 3rd behind FIFA and League of Legends. Is it still 3rd?

I just know that Valorant will be more popular at those Korean PC bangs if GenG wins.

Your only hope is that GENG chokes.

More like PRX ruined Monyet. Motherfucker was the best player on GE with t3xture on that same team.

People don't count domestic trophies, let's be real. No one cares that Liquid won EMEA in 2023.

I know other games do this like Rocket League, but it would take way too long unless they chose Bo3 for grand finals.

Surely APAC doesn't choke another Grand Final with map ban advantage :clueless: Predicting a 3-1 GENG regardless

Only advantage SEN has in this final is experience. GenG could choke

Ok so it's even so far, which is surprising. You'd think upper finals winner has the advantage. Also, Champs 2021, Berlin 2021, and Lock-in were single elim, no adv for grand finals

It's their advantage for winning the upper finals.

What do you mean false????

Oh yea forgot EG's map pool was disgusting. Not even comparable to either of these teams tbh. The pool was very different at the time too

Would've said the same with EG against PRX prior to that final tbh

...then APAC is cooked forever. It'd be the 3rd loss at an international final with map ban advantage for that region.

They're a pretty reliable insider site for Valorant, League, and CS.

Lower finals is Bo5 though.

Blud's lost

He's himothy

He turns 18 at the end of April. No reason why I'm bringing this up

Verno turns 18 at the end of April, just saying....

The Fellowship of the Ring is up there for sure

It's the The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie. This is not up for debate

Controller: Karon
Main Initiator/Secondary duelist: N4RRATE
Main Duelist: zekken
IGL + Sentinel/Secondary Initiator: saadhak
Viper/Sentinel on maps saadhak plays secondary initiator or Karon plays Viper: Less

Only weakness of this team is communication. Team wins literally everything otherwise

Changing my pick em just because of this thread

-Icebox -Breeze
+Fracture +Haven
Ascent is starting to innovate (at least in terms of comps) FINALLY. Get rid of the dogshit maps.

Eye sore

you lose the round

APAC vs Americas*

SHOULD'VE RIGGED THIS ONE

With the way they treat Monyet, not sure they deserve your sympathy

Icebox and Breeze are literal trash tier.

I can't stand watch parties with more than 2 people. Sliggy best watch party as always

Riot will never do it. In LoL, they don't even give up NA or EU slots

Might be the biggest mental boom I've ever seen in a pro game.

To me it's easily his most underwhelming agent to watch.

For some reason someone edited John's face onto Martin Scorsese's "absolute cinema" meme. Not sure why they did though

1. Keep Monyet on smokes (mindfreak will suffer though)
2. Keep f0rsakeN off of Cypher (he's kinda ass at that agent)

PRX has a sentinel role issue though

s0m has looked best on controller in pro, which would clash with bang. No offense to s0m, but his time on duelist in pro has been underwhelming, so I'd rather keep him on controller.

He sounds normal?

He didn't do bad enough against SEN to call it a full on disappointment compared to some of the other players on this list.

I like how you say that when he's still the highest rated player at this event, even with the tough loss to SEN.

I just checked and he played for Northeption at 1 international event so I guess that's something

I do worry about GenG's lack of experienced players at international events. They have Lakia and that's about it. I hope they don't crumble in the playoffs.

Liquipedia simply says "Rounds 2 and 3 are seeded based on each team's win-loss record." Says nothing that KC and EDG can't play each other. I'm curious where you saw this bracket?

Did you mean Split 1?

After the first round matches, kickoff seeding is completely thrown out of the window for the rest of the tournament.

Pretty sure it's completely random for the 4 teams that are 1-1. I think KC and EDG can play each other

Yes and TenZ will be tied with 4 fnatic players for tier 1 non-champs titles.
