Damn EU carrying NA (or however you spell his name)

the correct response would have been "holy hell", i'm confused

Google "johnqt home country"

Bold statement coming from a SEN flair

True holy shit I forgot for a second how much Lev sucks. As GM I hereby fire mw from the team, sorry pal

Imagine a roster with

Mwzera
Cloud
nAts
Rb*
sScary

Could go hard (assuming sScary can IGL)

*I do want to say no disrespect to TEC, China as a whole just obviously still needs more time to develop as a region, and I wouldn't call TEC a "shit team". Rb is clearly so much better than all of his teammates though that I thought he fit this list, plus to make the team work I really needed a flex player.

This ain't even mid, literally the two worst teams in the league

They'll somehow manage to both lose, but it'll be close

Why the fuck would I, this was a month ago.

Congrats, your favourite player managed to learn a second duelist agent after like what, 15 months of getting paid to play for tier 1 Valorant teams? Aspas still clears

Don't forget about the 2022 Europa League winners

Retla twice as good as zombs on Icebox

apinaorkesteri vs NXT, hope this helps

This is all you need to know

The fuck are the fans supposed to do? Kidnap the players and play in their stead?

Seems like neT's value to the team was primarily that of a second caller/midrounder. His fragging has often been towards the bottom of the leaderboard (not saying he didn't have his moments, but overall probably the weakest player on the team mechanically, although his recent performances were quite good). Now that they have leaf, who is also a very vocal player and did a lot of midround calls for C9 last year, maybe they feel like that role just isn't as needed anymore. We'll see how it goes. I definitely think neT could be a huge upgrade to any tier 2 team and maybe even some tier 1 teams who are in need of a secondary caller.

If you thought the performance at Madrid was "shameful", you're actually just not watching the game

After Sen won it has become very convenient for Americans to slowly stop considering Africa apart (sic) of EMEA after using Africa's population as an argument to say that EMEA has low talent density

Jesus Christ, not being supportive is one thing but this is some insane shit

Just a small jar of [REDACTED], nothing unusual

I mean he's still played more maps on duelist than all other roles combined. He has 107 maps on record as Jett, that's more than his next 4 most played agents combined. I know metas change and stuff, but it's not like Jett is played fundamentally differently now than she used to.

But he's "your" player, so you're the only one who can judge, unlucky really

It should, once purp0 is offically added to the roster in vlr

Honestly the people who refuse to accept that TenZ is still an amazing player are legit more annoying than the delusional TenZ fans who thought Sen was gonna win stuff in 2022/2023.

At least the guy is likable, so being a delusional TenZ fan is a lot more reasonable than being a delusional TenZ hater.

I mean TH is also playing without MiniBoo, I feel like the odds are reasonable.

:(

This is peak trembo, love you bro

Given his demeanor on stream, that wouldn't really surprise me. He definitely seems like the kind of guy who could be toxic.

But I mean, we've seen Sentinels, we know vibes are extremely important, and it's really hard to see from the outside just how much a player's behaviour and attitude contributes to a team's performance.

It says that in the article, or am I tripping? They also linked this Tweet.

This is not a long article brother, I believe in your ability to read it

It's absolutely insane to me how many obvious jokes are taken at face value on this website considering like 90% of comments on here are either bait or jokes.

All of vlr dot gg collectively has like 3 brain cells

Actually it was EG Demon1 who won Champions mvp

NRG Demon1's biggest achievement is a 3rd-4th place finish at VCT Kickoff.

Who the fuck is NA

Are you denying that they changed their executes...? Lol

2-1 SEN unfortunately

Goated username

No, GenG gets two map bans as compensation instead

Calling N4rrate T2 at this point is like calling Demon1 T3 talent. Blud has been on a T1 team for half a year now, time to move on

SEN fans never learn, they always overhype their team.

They're good and have a chance at winning this event still for sure, but besides the series against KC, none of their wins were all that decisive, neither at kickoff nor in Madrid.

Fnatic played the exact same way all of last year and they made top 4 at every event and won two titles

If Gen.G win the upper final, Gen.G 3 - 1 SEN
If SEN win the upper final, SEN 3 - 2 Gen.G

SEN looking far from unbeatable, but somehow always manage to close out those close games. (This is not meant to be a criticism, I think the ability to close out close games against good opponents is what separates great teams from good teams)

If they beat Gen.G I'm convinced they will also win the grand final, but if they have to go through the lower bracket, I worry a bit about their map pool in a BO5 with the opponent having two bans.

Crazy how EMEA and MENA have three letters in common, I wonder why that is

Africa hasn't had a single server until the SA server was added last year. North Africans can play on Southern European servers (or Istanbul I suppose) decently, which is why we've seen some North African players in tier 2 even before we got the MENA VCL.

But counting Africa as a potential talent pool for EMEA Valorant is silly, they just don't have the same opportunities.

See the trick is just to have no understanding of the game at all and just yell "holy shit" every time somebody gets a 2k

I think without MiniBoo and with Woot coming in fresh, this should be a very tough game for TH. FNC should be very motivated and I'd be surprised if they don't bounce back against a weakened TH.

It's basically double elim but you don't know the bracket beforehand.

In practice it's very similar.

In about 20 hours

Yeah, I was wrong about that. Still felt like a bit of an unnecessary risk, their Split looked a lot more solid. But then again, I guess they had less conifdence in the Split because of the role change so it makes sense.

But also, if Monyet doesn't win the 1v2 with the Sheriff, this series could easily be a 2-0. It was a very close map.

I'll stand by my point that there would have been better picks for PRX with less risk attached.
