i was literally thinking it was going to be a NA stomp given how much our own community has been shitting on our t2 teams throughout the year and i think i was the only one who thought we were closer than what they expected, but it has been not only as i expected, its beyond my expectations. I was expecting both tsm and m80 to give us chances on 1 map then shitting on us the 2nd and it hasnt been like that at all, all their matches have been very close to a certaint extent, tsm is almost out and even tho m80 is flawless they could still lose if they dont play with all that they have and that makes me relief after watching tier 2 latam the entire year ngl watching 2 latam and 1 br team giving a hell of a fight to na seed 1 and galorys being close to every other team so far with sato and luk_xo popping off has been so entertaining and it will only benefit the entirety of vct americas (NA, SA) because i was starting to think the only possible way was starting academys and picking up leftovers from tier 1 to make competitive SA t2 teams but now we are developing talent that can fight top teams without t1 orgs´s help
americas ascension its a banger
chrlxz [#2]NA fans are the loudest so ofc the rhetoric would be NA stomp
the thing with NA fans is, they dont actually watch any games, even NA games, but they LOVE to talk about the games
these guys dont have a clue bro, anyone who really knew ball knew it would be much closer than first thought
good to know

Tbf it was projected to be that way since T2 SA teams don’t have T1 scrim partners, so it did make sense to assume that T2 SA was weaker than T2 NA initially
Edit: added initially

i actually expected NA fans to think that way im not surprised, but i saw SA users on this site and on other social medias trash talking our teams saying shit like "bro lets pick demon1 jawgemo and potter we wont have good players on tier 2 its over they going to stomp us all matches" and shit like that so i dont really say this towards NA users being fair

es como ver a f0rsaken prime mezclado con keznit y con aim de demon1
washedradiant [#12]It is an NA stomp its just tsm is like our top 5 team in ascension that got lucky. Oxygen would 13-0 sum of these latam teams
even if tsm werent here m80 havent stomp anyone yet wdym

Most likely saving strats after getting a lead. These are free wins

tbf what else am I supposed to think.
our two teams in VCT have been recycling the same talent for the last 3 years, I assumed there was a reason they weren't picking up anyone new.
and when they invested in young talents like mta his performance didn't really sell me
in my head I thought they clearly were more willing to import brazillians than work with the talent they were seeing in LATAM

being fair they never picked up stand out players, mta is good he isnt nuclear? yeah but he wasnt nuclear on tier 2 also if they picked up david rubkkoide or other stand out players it could´ve been much better so ig its just yall dont evaluate the entire picture

I don't see any NA stomps lil bro, not sure which matches are you watching in delululand.
Oxygen didn't make it so stop implying they would stomp anyone if they didn't even make it to the actual contest.

Its called using your eyes/ brain/ and interpretation skills. a rookie like you probably doesnt know the depth of oxygen's complexity

what's so complex about a team that has missed ascension twice?
they have to get better lil bro, that's it.
Nice bait account though lmao.

What do you mean twice? Are u hit on the head? Talk to me when you watch valorant. Also if you knew how shit the ascension qualifiers are you would understand why.
I honestly knew it was gonna be more competitive going into this compared to last year, I was roughly familiar with teams like RETA and AK and I knew they were very capable of beating the very streaky TSM among other teams. Not really familiar with the brazil teams but both have looked solid and have some really stand out players. Its just good to see that the tier2 scenes aren't too far apart from eachother because that just means better things for the americas region as a whole in the long run.

I didn't see oxygen on Ascension last year as well when they lost against The Guard (G2) the finals of the 2023 VCL that's what i mean.
Stop blaming the format, if your team was that good they wouldn't have missed it twice in a row. You sound like 100T fans when they didn't make it to Champs. Format might be fucked but if you lose the important matches you are not backing up the shit you talk.

a based and actually reasonable NRG fan?
props to you brother, you're rare among your kind.
Americas on top, T2 teams this year are looking solid, i'm getting good impressions on the teams, even the ones not performing that well.

my high school spanish classes coming in clutch with this one
it’s probs just cuz NA people tend not to watch anything but NA and imagined it was the same as last year. It’s far from it though i remembered seeing spikeZ’s clip on Bind and checked out Reta and AK’s bo5 and knew this would be close (ntm the hype Sato has on him). People just tunnel vision on their regions which is normal. Def isn’t free for NA though (although M80 probably will end up going 5-0)

Majority of people only watch the regions they care about. Especially in T2. Its not just an NA thing. who TF watches all T2 matches?! that's an insane thought.
