Saying they got annihilated on a tactical level is blatantly false. Even if it was a "fluke" win, if you're a team who can get "fluke" losses, then you don't deserve to Ascend.

Funny that this comes from the "pro watcher" (LMAO) who called everyone stupid who said that MxM would beat the Guard; I think you're very far from being the only one to know anything

The Union seem to have decent macro. Nothing crazy, but solid default set ups. They've certainly got shooters.

00 have shown some good strategy adaptability on Lotus so far, but they just got bodied on Ascent.

Was about to make this thread lmao; I actually like the Guard players, but they have some of the most annoying fans

I have the same final result as you, although a slightly different path: https://www.vlr.gg/pickem/01cb94d5

the 0-5 team which your team lost to in MSI XD

I honestly like the Guard, but you're just annoying lmao

Wait, valorantfanboy69, is that you???

Bold of you to assume that Loud will beat NRG

Poised is no longer IGL. It's tigg who is IGL now. Do you really think Faze would have 2 wins with Poised as IGL?

To help with that, I'd recommend learning some common kill trips to spam Jett on entry. If you are trying to go all the way up and maybe even pro, I'd recommend learning KJ at least. That way you could become a sentinel main, which is actually a fairly rare commodity right now.

I'd say Cyper for Split/Fracture, KJ for everything else. Cypher can be a niche pick on Haven/Ascent, but you'd need to have a fully functioning team to really make that work.

Take everything I say with a huge grain of salt. Best of luck to ya!

The reason they lost is because SEN's attack half was completely 1D. I don't recall a single attempt to fake a hit to pull rotations.

What is going on lmao? Every single crash has been after OR gets a round on the Guard lmao

I've seen you on these forums before, so I'd just like to say ignore the stupid bait haters. They're just attention seekers.

I'm rooting for other teams over yours, but that doesn't mean you should receive hate. You're a good player with great calling, so keep it up. I'd rather you put up a good fight against the teams I like vs. getting stomped so that the teams I like are forced to perform better. GG better luck next time I guess.

Bruh you might not be so delusional anymore.

Holy

I like how everyone respects Fenis' calling. He's definitely in contention for GOAT IGL.

schlong doesn't know a word, and assumes you are misspelling lol

Bro everyone on here is maidenless. But you can't even spell

Bruh, how is everyone missing that you are being sarcastic? You have a Loud flair for fuck's sake. I normally disagree with 90% of what you say, but this is a rare alitmanus W.

Nothing close to a champions contender, but they are 4-6 against Navi and Navi just called a timeout against KC. Navi, you better not lose to KC. You will be made fun of for eternity

HMMMMMM...

Down 2-6 in opponent's atk half...
Opponent team is playing double controller, which is strong on defense...

Surprise: an "extended" tech pause

Yeah, we know what you're up to G2. Own up to not having prepped enough and take the loss.

I'm calling an upset. No one expected Oxygen to beat Shopify.

Oxy 2 - 1 G2

Aging like milk rn

This is a garbage take. Oxygen beat Shopify. If Faze loses today (which is quite possible imo), then we're looking at Faze not qualifying.

Guard 2-0 if they ban pearl.
Guard 2-1 if they let OR pick pearl bc too cocky lol

Edit: Aging like milk right now lmao
