fakest comeback ever ruined my title 😭
i was writing as the rounds came in. i could never hate on prime yay
we aint reading allat
but there were 3 Masters events in the original year. The first Masters ever was held in Reykjavik, Iceland
Technically, the first Masters ever were the online ones. Reykjavik was the first in-person international event.
2021 was a relatively slow year
Mention Kru champs run perhaps?
Some notable upsets were Vision Strikers vs F4Q - as Vision Strikers were on a 100+ match win streak and F4Q were simply a team of content creators. Later on, Vision Strikers would become DRX.
This all happened in 2021, so not sure why its in the 2022 section. VS lost to F4Q before 2021 Reykjavik, and became DRX at the beginning of 2022.
2022 was a mostly uneventful year
2021 was completely dominated by EMEA and NA, to the point where they were literally called the "major" regions, and everyone else was called the "minor" regions. 2022 put an end to that. LOUD, PRX, Zeta, Leviatan, all proved that the other regions could also produce competitive teams. I remember at Reykjavik a caster said "the term minor region dies today" and then it did. Also 2022 champs was the debut of China with EDG.
and eventually they ended up in the Masters Reykjavik 2022 Grand Finals
Can't really use "eventually" when that was only their second meeting.
brilliant performances by Aspas and Saadhak
Sacy erasure sadge
The original VCT league would have 32 partnered teams split across 4 leagues: Americas, EMEA, Pacific, and China.
It was actually 30 teams across 3 leagues, China wasn't an official region yet, they just got a certain amount of slots at each tournament that they had to qualify for.
the new Chinese region would only have two teams, Edward Gaming and FunPlus Phoenix
China still ran open qualifiers in 2023, and FPX wasn't even at Tokyo, it was ASE.
the signing of Gambit superstar Chronicle
Leo mention where?
LOUD also looked formidable with the pickup of Cauanzin
Should mention that Cauanzin and Tuyz pickups were forced by Sacy and Pancada leaving for Sentinels.
Both teams easily won their first four matches
LOUD vs NRG? Loud would've lost if Cauanzin didn't 1v3 in round 24. (Can also tie back in the OpTic Loud rivalry)
With Aspas finding another kill, it was all in the hands of Alfajer.
Confusing way to start a sentence, there's no context as to what's happening in the round. You need some transition into the round play-by-play.
The second major event was Masters Tokyo - which Fnatic won in clean fashion.
This, too, was cleanly won by Fnatic
Reread and fix this paragraph.
They were projected to place 4th in the Americas league for 2023, missing the Champions LA event by one singular slot.
This wasn't the situation or the stakes. They were going to place 7th in the league to miss the playoffs. After 100T lost to MIBR, they still had to make their playoffs run to qualify for Tokyo and Champs.
That is, if MIBR didn’t choke against 100 Thieves…
Other way around.
Those are all the inaccuracies/major issues I found, there's still plenty of room to improve on the writing itself.
Idk what this is for, but good luck!
(I didn’t see the part 2 whoops)
the game? changed
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:

https://www.vlr.gg/68798/rebels-gaming-vs-team-heretics-vrl-spain-rising-season-r4
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.
“EU will continue to dominate the scene”
sadge
All good.
Which player is being accused? No one's name seems to resembles jj2g
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

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
rip akrew
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
First loss was without trent. Then they revenged the second loss
HL lost to crazy raccoon
