The entire region of Korea has never won a match while facing potential elimination (at LAN)

Even still, this is the first series C9W has ever lost in Game Changers

whz has them beat by 1 kill

There are still examples of higher ACS in high tier matches:

If you had asked who had the best ACS in an overtime match or something, that mwzera game would probably win. I can't deny that's an insane showing from him

4/5 played 2 matches at LCQ
They also played a nerdstreet lan

They scheduled an entire 8 team double elim bracket into 4 days

Can you explain why PRX are locked for champs? Is it not possible for two other teams like XERXIA and Bleed to make Copenhagen, both place well (say 2nd and 3rd), and get more points than them?

You are correct.
I went ahead and found what all the rest of them were, though I'm not sure about 100T, NRG, LG, and EG, since they all have the same winrate.

It was a really important seeding match though. Winning vs FaZe would’ve guaranteed them first seed, which gets a bye to semis.

Pretty sure Destrian is the igl

It was actually 12-1, and they were already Akrew https://www.vlr.gg/49477/nrg-esports-vs-akrew-valorant-elite-showdown-ro16/?game=56544&tab=overview

Looks like a lot of the clips are in the wrong place

Your Group A doesn't make sense. You have XSET 2-3, but have 4 teams losing to them.

All. Good.

sadge

All good.

Which player is being accused? No one's name seems to resembles jj2g

It's female team

Optic would have to bomb out of stage 2 challengers and then have NA finish 1st and 2nd at masters to not qualify

GG's tough loss sorry to all the fans we'll be back stronger #T1FIGHTING

Where is Knights academy?

Double elim so its only top 6

Using brain and analysis never works for pickems. I literally closed my eyes and picked random things and I’m still alive

Sideshow predicted NiP to win

Fokus is owned by a German streamer, therefore has a mainly German fanbase. They are based in Germany as well and in other esports like fortnite or fifa they have only German players

Is that not what it means to be “the face of valorant”

The power rankings are based off their analysis of the teams’ gameplay, not their placement at champs

I think the logic is is that the winner of that LCQ match indicates a stronger region. Also they’re not gonna put both the teams from one region in groups and the one team from the other in playoffs.

Double elim ensures that the best 2 teams make grand finals, regardless of seeding. Last years Iceland is a perfect example of this. Sentinels and Fnatic played in round 1, and met each other again in the grand finals. Imagine if it was single elim: Fnatic, the second best team in the tournament, gets knocked out almost immediately, and the grand finals is Sentinels stomping Nuturn.

Also, if teams are going to get byes to playoffs, single elim just doesnt work. There should be no situation where a team only plays 1 match and goes home.

FPX should get the points they would've got if they just lost 2 games, so however many 8th place gets. This is the same as how points worked with Bren.

IMO Liquid should get their challenger points for getting 4th, as well as the additional points they would've earned from placement. For example, if 11-12th gets 150 points and 9-10th gets 200, and Liquid places 9-10th, they should get +50 points.

Alter Ego didnt go to Berlin when Bren couldnt make it. Just more riot inconsistencies

I'm pretty sure Iceland isn't letting Russian or Ukranian people in, meaning FPX would have to sub for 3 players

no way...

First loss was without trent. Then they revenged the second loss
