one time i was eating chicken wings beside tenz at a pub in canada, and he is wearing white sweatpants and the black and red SEN jersey and i was eating a flat and i took a bite out of it and the bone popped out and flip up in the air, and i swore to god that time slow down and i was like "omg holy shit, somebody stop this", i couldnt react whilst watching the bone spinning around and then the chicken wing drops but tenz moves his leg away while the bone was split-second away from touching his white sweatpants and i look dead in his eyes and said "omg dude, im so sorry" and tenz that totally silence all the time while enjoying his borovička look over towards me and said "i knew it would happen" then look away, stood up and walk off, i never been so awe in my life and then i knew this guy is and will be a great valorant player, this guy is cold as fuck like his in-game name and he is fast as hell its how he dodges the chicken wing bone and its how he fucked 100t balls deep while keeping his composure, its no coincidence, im telling you its all interconnected because what kind of person you're in real life, translated to how you are as a player in valorant.
PrTsty [#4]dude u realise with the 2 EMEA teams in one group we couldve gotten Envy, Vision strikers, SMB and Acend in the same group, its just dumb, all of these 4 teams are contedners to win the whole thing
somehow riot thinks envy is on the same level as paper rex lmao
Itsover [#3]Yay 538 acs in groups tbh, and he will be the highest rated player in Berlin because of the group stage
yay smurfing in group stage KEK
Daniveus [#5]somehow riot thinks envy is on the same level as paper rex lmao
they dont, but they wanted to give 100T and SEN and advantage because they got over them. worst thing that couldve hit Envy is Vision striker + SMB/Acend, wich is fair considering they got placed 3rd. envy is still expected to qualify
Groups of death in most sports are usually very very healthy. The thing is though when they happen, at the end of the day when a knock-out round occurs, every team there is still deserving of a spot to be there because there are enough good teams. In this case, as the scene is right now, there are only 8 teams that deserve to get out of groups. Unfortunately, this group of death means that 1 of the 8 teams will not make it out. If there were 9 good teams then it would be fine bc even if say VS got knocked out in groups, there are still 8 great teams to watch in the quarterfinals. Now, it's likely someone like Vivo Keyd or KRU get out which while they are the best in their region, they have shown not to stack up with the rest of the top teams around the world. If Vivo Keyd does turn out to be a competent team then there is no problem. But as it stands riot has effectively messed up the knock-out round bc of the group of death.
JettOnetap [#9]NV got the easiest group as the last seed of NA
G2 got an easier group than EMEA 2nd and 3rd seeds
No one will take seeding matches seriously from now on and intentionally troll lol
Finally someone points out G2 getting easier group as #4 compared to #2 & #3

You just don't get it... Groups of death are okay in non-qualifier tourneys when it's just all about prize pool and it's a final tourney of the year... But here you get super mega important VCT points.
Vision Strikers get out of groups = Champions qualification over Nuturn.
Acend get out of groups = Champions qualification over Fnatic.
Do you want to see Acend or Fnatic at Champions (with Gambit)? Do you want to see VS or Nuturn at Champions? Who do you think is a better team currently and deserves this spot more? The answer is obvious.
GROUPS OF DEATH ARE NOT GOOD IN QUALIFIER EVENTS.
DONTONO [#12]wasnt the whole deal that there werent suppossed to be 2 representants of the same region in the same group
Yes and no. Because EMEA has the most teams, it was the one region that could have 2 teams in a group. With all the other regions having 3 or less teams, they were going to be separate no matter what.
With the random drawing, by chance 2 EMEA teams got put in the same group for this reason.

we shouldnt be changing tournaments to see teams we want go on, that doesn't make any sense
Heavon [#10]Finally someone points out G2 getting easier group as #4 compared to #2 & #3
I mean seeding cant be 100 percent accurtae, but having 2 teams of the same regoon in one group is a uneccesary mess
