And how far would EDG need to go to have the best underdog run.

Acend?

I hope EDG makes it to finals. Undoubtedly the best run ever.

If EDG makes finals with will be EDG but if not then Def zeta shame they didn't make this major though

KRU was playing so well they looked like they were going to win but Chronicle stopped them

Acend?

Not really an "underdog run".
Acend was the 2nd highest EMEA seed going into the event and had just placed top 8 at masters berlin.

that ace ended that run. Can’t lie that must have been so heartbreaking for kru to lose that round

so far? KRU
EDG could've but tournament hasn't ended yet

Paper Rex second place in Masters

Zhongguo [#9]

Paper Rex second place in Masters

they werent underdogs, placed 4th in previous LAN and completely dominated regionally and were APAC top seed

EDG lower bracket run + revenge against liquid in lowers round 2/lower finals would be crazy

EDG's just due to the sheer difference in skill/level right at this point in valorant. But for upsets, its still Zeta since KRU were still known as scrim demons at that time so it wasnt a huge upset.

KRU has the most upsets, zeta was the most entertaining, and EDG is just skill diffing every team they play (except TL ((for now)) )

Kru ofc, and if you don't remember well, they were winning vs gambit 10-4 in 3rd map, I still don't understand hoy they losed that

Yeah right now kru is my favourite.
That win versus sentinels was crazy.
The fnc game was also so close.
and of course they went toe to toe with gambit.

I think if edg makes top 3 it would become the best run/my favourite run.

to me EDG is more entertaining, Zmjjkk is a showman

KRU's underdog run was unknown to newcomers outside SA, but even ZETA didn'd qualify to the Masters Tokyo, everyone is talking about it, this is the first time VALORANT became a public topic, brought the Masters to Japan, and ZETA's journey was tougher than EDG's, had saved 4 match points against NIP and turned around to the playoff

rn the chances to make it top 4 are so high, they are prob going to play vs prx, but top 3... holy china will dominate the world 😭
