This team denied Apeks’s amazing Ascension run just because their aim was a bit sharper in the final match
They were “all aim no brain” team back in Ascension and nothing changed since then.
As soon as their aim skills were matched by a franchised team, they crumbled so hard, just as I thought

7-0 and suddenly ssk and xenon started playing like bots, and I mean it. Xenon as Omen didn’t seem to care about smoking chokeholds and ssk as Kayo made so many mistakes in positioning and abilities usage

If map 2 wasn’t sold by ssk & xenon, then nasr surely won’t win a thing with such bad players

I'm really glad that there are people who agree with my opinion on this league.
This is such a shame that there is really nothing we can do about it, as we're only just assuming without any proof (and there is none)

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this way

the amount of underperformances from match favourites in TR region is so huge it's almost unbelievable.
Sad to see those paid actors play daily and they're never punished for this

Let's just assume this isn't a fixed map 2,
If I were SUP manager, I would consider getting them fined for such a throw
But they'll still win the match, so who cares? just added a little extra to their paychecks :)

only in Turkey you can win a map off FF and in just a week lose 0-2 against a 0.7 kd raze player kekw

Sad way to throw map 3. They had everything in their hands and just threw it away

I used it when it was available in Russia and all I can say is that:

1. they let you withdraw if you win
2. however, if you win often, your betting limits would quickly change to $10ish
3. if you win more than lose, your withdrawal processing time would be around 1-3 days, if you lose more though, your withdrawals would be almost instant

Just FYI:
In terms of live betting odds, the chance of oxygen losing map 2 (from 12-11 5v2) and map 3 (from 11-3) was lower than winning an annual USA’s greencard lottery.
Both map 2 and map 3 odds were x10 on MxM, combined they give x100, which is roughly 1%, while winning a greencard lottery is about 1.5%

This is officially the biggest throw of 2024 so far

The thing is, Rare Atom will have map bans advantage as the upper bracket finalists.
They will for sure ban their permaban + haven (drg best map), while drg won’t have bans at all.
I expect RA will pick Split and Sunset as map 1 and 3, while DRG won’t have much of a choice, maybe lotus or ascent?
Given the fact that half of vookashu’s team are sick and he said himself that they just don’t have reliable strats against RA, I expect nothing but 3-0

Idk why u’all giving NiP a chance in this matchup. In my opinion, KeepBest Gaming is an absolute trash team and NiP barely won against them yesterday.
On the other hand, NWG played a solid Bind against Rare Atom.
Even if NiP manage to win a map here, I just can’t see them winning the series

Ascent I believe

My eyes were bleeding watching lil bros playing sunset.
Bot-like movement and aim after demolishing map 1, kinda looks like a cryptothrow

SMG 2-0

Just for your information, almost every match in EMEA Game Changers Stage 3, including playoffs, were fixed as there were huge odds drops on asian bookies for map handicaps, round handicaps etc..
So it’s not just chinese teams, I guess some teams are just farming money while they can as there’re no proper T2-3 support from Riot

upd. Attaching just one example, there were a lot more and I was just testing this theory so the bet is ~10 bucks https://i.imgur.com/jRuOtym.png

No wonder, just hours before the match there were odds drops on asian bookies for AG to win one map, but I couldn’t even imagine they would fix for 0-2

9-12 -> 11-12 -> technical pause -> this round
I don't believe this was not a throw, considering their positioning in Viper's Pit and Brimstone's play

Glad I’m not the only one who thinks so
It felt like it was their first Lotus game

4-4
2v1 lost
5-13

"you guys are going home, 100%, I guarantee, I promise you that"

what happened?
are they going to reverse rounds?

look at recent bbl’s game on fracture, basically the same scenario. And both G2 and BBL were considered the best european GC teams

At this point you can just call this whole tournament rigged. There’s no way of explaining what’s going on in those matches :D

the most undeserved win in valorant history.
no way a team with only aim and rushes will ever win something in VCT

I'm so fucking sad for Apeks, they grinded their asses off the whole year just to lose to a fucking phoenix player in the grand final

ggs, well-deserved!
I’m sure these boys will make some noise next year in the league

nt bonkers, I never really expected anything from this team and yet they delivered.
and I fucking love those casters

Cacan lost the game at 11-10 in a 2v2 with ultimate available by peeking Sova and losing a gunfight vs classic.

17-6 in entry kills LOL
I've never seen anything like this

Overall amazing final.
However, I find the last map comeback very fishy.
The way Raad lost 3v1 on round 14 was insanely stupid but it’s okay.
Every defensive round after that was played as a very passive defence with retake intentions and it didn’t work a single time. And they never even tried to change it.
Pearl and Split were won by raad because of great adaptation to Falcons def/attack but they suddenly decided not to adapt to Falcons’ attack on map 5. Why? I don’t understand.

I'm not talking about a normal comeback, in this case a round was reverted and after that every RGE round was really messy

Only in India you could be winning 10-6 and lose 9-13 after that

FYI: Reckoning were up 10-6 and round 16 was reverted due to a crash.
After a tech pause, they didn't win a single round.

about 2 months ago they stopped fetching matches from ggbet and now they basically don't offer valorant bets anymore.
my advice is to stay away from them as vylcan is a shady bookie and they can hold your winnings for as long as they like

10-5 10-13 le classique

I think FUT might give the win to BBL so that 2 Turkey teams would be in play-offs

Happy Birthday, Aslan.
Here's your gift: 3v1 throw to lose the map

All the best,
Team Vitality

I thought pro players are paid not only because they’re generally better than 99% of ranked players but because they practice such things as recovering mentally after tough defeats.
I guess this doesn’t apply to Fire Flux players, as they were so tilted after Lotus, they decided not to play anymore and just give up.

I’ll never believe this match was fair.
The whole time it felt like Zerance didn’t care about winning

ttvlol (chrome & firefox extention)
works flawlessly and is open-sourced.

ah, another fixed game in VLR Polaris
Nothing new for this league.

Not only that but Chamber also used his ultimate WHILE having an operator
And he had to save it.
And if he didn’t manage to save, Case would’ve gotten into an economic hole

You are absolutely correct about this

Paper Rex looked so much better in terms of pure gunfights and yet half is tied 6-6

what bookie does give you the option to bet on map winner at 11-6?

valorantesports3 stream

from 11-5

match will resume with a substitute

no, it was braveaf

this game was rigged for sure.
X10 played so weirdly compared to their last game vs FW on may 21th

what an amazing map throw by nagzet
gl next with this guy

You named the best 2 teams out of those 32 contenders
That doesn't count
