NA makes no sense

Why are all the NA users calling shanghai a boring mickey mouse just because we had no teams in the grand finals, and all of a sudden calling G2 and 100T trash after rooting for them and saying they would dominate the entire tournament. SEN and NRG would have gotten grouped just like LEV did so just give GenG the credit they deserve and focus on split 2.

Also who do you think will win on the 22nd SEN or NRG

but why the fuck does that matter??? Those teams weren't good enough to get to the tournament and besides maybe navi, none of them deserve to be at this tournament

i just dont understand why the ORG and CLOUT matter

maybe not everyone is like me, but all i want to do is to watch some good valorant with crazy moments

you're right but a lot of viewers just want to see their favorite pros play. teams like sen and loud bring crazy viewership numbers

ok so say that. not make it seem like it's because of the org themselves.

I'd be bummed if my fav teams didn't make it, but i'd still want to watch it and i think i'd enjoy it more tbh since i dont have a team im cheering for heavily and i can be exposed to more teams, yk?

you know damn well why people want popular teams to be there

it’s just human nature to root for teams and players you like
if they aren’t there, of course you aren’t going to be as invested or feel hype.

nothing wrong with that. and there’s nothing wrong with your take either

Honestly the one reason I can get behind is the time zone as for me most matches were at 3/4 AM so not easy to watch but even then there was not this much crying for Tokyo last year.

im not gonna lie, platchat helped A FUCK TON. I dont think i would have watched as many matches if it weren't for them. they also filled the time in between maps and stuff SO WELL. the main reason why i dont like to watch watchparties is bc a lot of them are boring and either they provide TOO much analysis, or they overreact. no hate to them, i just prefer a little bit of both, which is what platchat was able to do. sucks they prob wont be doing one for seoul, but im glad to hear their casting

TH already got put on a leash by their owners G2, not once but twice. so yes it's a mickey mouse event. if G2 made finals they would've won easily

Yeah, congrats to TH for winning 1 out of the three matches. G2 is still 2-1 against them

When it mattered most Heretics clapped them in every way, if G2 were that much better they wouldn't have lost that badly, and don't say they choked because same thing can be applied to Heretics 11-2 loss.

they got 3rd in masters how aren't they the best americas team lmao

don't bring up sen or nrg those bums aren't doing anything
loud can always bounce back, and kru will probably look stronger in this split but rn 100t and g2 are the 2 best teams in americas

Those teams at least made playoffs. NA best teams got grouped even while getting 2 free wins from the other group.

Agreed.

Also, unbiased take, I think this is maybe 65/35 Sentinels. Both teams have pretty insane chemistry, but you can't forget that this NRG core (scrims aside) haven't played together in almost 10 months, and you can't discount the fact that Sentinels already won a Masters this year and are getting about six weeks of break + prep time before the match.
