I got a leak of the groups (not the match ups yet) and holy shit these groups are unbalanced as fuck. I can't share the info but I'll give u this.

Group A: Stacked as fuck
Group B: Decent (One of the top teams is here and pretty much gets a free pass)
Group C: Mid

Sadly as everyone expected one of Americas top teams will get eliminated early on because the distribution is terrible.

EDIT: Leak was (thankfully) accurate, only switched Group A & B's order.

considering they already revealed Pacific and Emea I don't see why not

crazy roast ngl lmfao

he's right lol

BRO WHEN ARE THEY POSTING AMERICAS FUCK

Also rip BBL and KOI

Nah, FNS lying and letting this team crumble from the lack of IGLing. That way his work will be recognized and he'll have NRG on their knees offering bank for him to come back.

Truly another FNS masterclass 🚬🍷

deaths

BYE team got robbed

DFM will humilliate miDRX

Mark my words.

good name bro 🗿

Bleed overhyped af. Mark my words

T1 2 - 1 Bleed

On a serious note, yes, Leo Faria is most likely the face and scape goat as I doubt he is totally oblivious after all the comments, suggestions and hate he gets on twitter. Most likely these terrible decisions come from above and all the shit with sharing venues with League is part of the problem too. I'm pretty sure there's multiple people making these decisions and Leo Faria is just the person giving us the news, though he could have something to do with it, I'm not excusing him on that part. But in the end, we shit on him because that's the only person we can complain to. To my knowledge no other upper management level employee is publicly on social media.

shit list bro ngl

You must be Leo Faria's burner acc. So tell me, what will be next year's excuse for another long ass break.

yup, it's so bad that we are basically dependent on some people to organize invitationals or off-season tournaments so that we can actually watch SOME of the Tier 1 teams play. Even then, those tournaments last like a weekend and there isn't really many of them.

I think this was known, no one buys that hype shit. How am I supposed to be hyped after worlds when I know I won't be seeing an official tier 1 competition in 6 months.

Their excuse is that "there is plenty of Valorant to watch" with Game Changers and Challengers, but with due respect I just don't really care about those games a whole lot. At most I'll watch a couple GC and Challengers matches, but that's about it. There is still a lot missing to cover 6 months without official Tier 1 competitions.

We all know they mostly do it to save money on the venues and for people to watch LoL Worlds as well. But they seem to forget that many people who play Valorant just don't give a fuck about league. So the problem is still there. As someone who doesn't watch league at all, and I just don't really care a whole lot about GC and Challengers, the wait feels terribly long.

fr, you know it's bad when the most entertaining matches happening are the ones from EMEA Tier 2 leagues

UPDATE

I've been hearing noises outside my house and my dog is nowhere to be found. Help

So, I've been duo ing with this guy for like 2 months now. I only added him on discord and steam, but somehow he knows my real name, where I study, etc. Should I be worried he is a stalker? Or is it normal.

Waiting for this too, I just hope they aren't just copy & paste of each other with different base color and logo of each team pasted on the side. Hopefully each one will look different from each other or at least different VFX and maybe even a finisher, but I don't think riot will put that much effort into it tbh

lmfao what 😭

cooked that fraud

ngl MIBR and MITH would be the ultimate battle of mid

idk

Nah G2 is Aunt May, I have my sources trust

ODM 2 - 1 SAGAZ

Well, it was a good run but back to GC they go.

I like the Liquid girls, but ODM straight up individually better. The girls just couldn't win a single duel last map. NT

I'll take it tbh, War Machine is cool af. Plus it would obliterate Aunt May thousands of times easy

Ur right, G2 is more like Aunt May

what does Canada have to do with any of this

Ignore this, just placing a curse on Leo Faria for making me wait 6 months for VCT.

Leo Faria ኃጢአተኛ ነፍስህ ከመዳን በላይ ናት እናም ሰላምን ወይም ሥቃይን አታውቅም ፣ የንስሐ ቅዝቃዜ ብቻ አብቅቷል ፣ ምክንያቱም ኃጢአቶችህ ከማንኛውም ተልእኮ የላቀ ስለሆነ ፣ መጨረሻው ቀርቧል ፣ የኃጢአት መርከቦች.

I don't think they'll fail terribly, I think they will be competitive and even have a really good chance at qualifying to at least one major tournament. But people who have Sentinels as a top 1/2 GUARANTED 100%% in Americas are delusional. On paper all, NRG, LOUD, LEV and SEN could be top 1/2 "guaranteed" so it's gonna be very competitive between those teams. I'd say worst case scenario they finish top 4 in Americas

We need someone to leak it just like pacific fr

who?

uwu

rigged game

Definitely a downgrade from aspas, but LOUD still has other 4 amazing players so they will still be a top team. People who have them low are buggin

Lol this english comms problem thing was literally debunked after their perfect superdome run while not dropping a single map against KRU, C9 and FURIA. If anything comms will be clearer because c0m is a native english speaker and nzr wasn't.

y0y

that's huge

Still not as fraudulent as Real Vardrid. Still not over the robbery they did to Almeria

2-4 centimeters, anything over that and you have the Eiffel tower in ur pants

Same, I would still put them top 3 but they under PRX for sure.

real, for entertainment purposes yay has to flop once again

Actually showing good recent activity at the pro level, why would you risk it by signing someone who hasn't played competitively in such a long time.

I'm not saying he is not a good player, but he is not a top player anymore like he used to be back in the OpTic days

I think bro got a lil confused

it's just many of his fans being obnoxious. They keep pretending yay is still a top player even though he comes from flopping at Tier 2 level.

I don't got anything against him as an individual though.

Same, before aspas he was our best player, even now he is key to the team. Had we lost him it would have been over for us 💀

I'm bored so I'll just post this little fun fact.

Not too long ago, Spanish video game journalist "Lembo006" had an interview with Fernando "FerMago" Diez, the CEO of Leviatan, where he confirmed that at some point at the beginning of the off-season NRG came knocking on LEV's door asking if they had plans on selling kiNgg, and even offering a big amount of money for him (though he didn't specify how much, he assured it was in the hundred thousands). Now as you can see, LEV declined the offer. But there could've been a world where kiNgg was a player for NRG.
