TSM looking good, still can't stand tsm fans tho

I think everyone knows they r trolling

either they go full troll or just take it seriously, rn the match is boring af.

NU 2-0

a whole Bo5 of pros playing like irons

NA entire esports scene changed to val trying to be at least good at one game, what did u expect??

rugby >>>> american football

dwg not looking as good as tnl and f4q rn

krea6on best kayo

no lower bracket??

we really need a tsm thread blocker

I've always said this about liquid, it's not because they beat fnatic. For me, the things that I pointed out are the reasons they are so inconsistent.

jampppi igl cool

I'm not talking about the last rounds of breeze lol. A lot of times, when defending, they rotate super fast or don't rotate at all and just go for massive flanks and other aggressive plays fully confident that no one is waiting for them.

they gamble way too much and make super risky plays, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.

this was not mystic's day as well :(

sadge indeed

the spray in valorant is so shit that shaking is the best u can do.

I mean, TSM rn are just the winners of the losers. Even the teams they beat this time are trash and got immediately eliminated.
Gen. g -> eliminated
T1 -> eliminated
V1 (beaten by T1 - same bracket as TSM) -> eliminated

tru, but that is liquid's playstyle, high-risk high reward, though it looked like every time they went for those crazy flanks and bet on one site during defense they went unpunished, fnatic should've done a better job with that.
This was never a fair matchup from the beginning, liquid had an easier run, facing giants later on, and because of that they get to ban their worst map and at the same time fnatic's best, kinda unlucky for the fnatic boys.

4-1 ???

I watched both cis, eu and tr vct matches. the most impressive teams were gambit and acend imo.
Gambit shows up when they need to and I think they have the potential to be the best team in the world rn, u shouldn't count them out just because they lose in a t3 tourney (they were not even playing their usual comps, so at best they were taking this match as a scrim)

yup and gambit lost badly to OBG in a previous t3 tourney. They didn't play the same way as they normally do in vct.

wait for the EMEA playoffs before u make any conclusion, it's not the first time they lose in a trivial tourney.

1 match in an irrelevant tourney = overrated

and obg is not better than gambit.
They just do badly in irrelevant tourneys for obvious reasons.

chill, gambit plays when it actually means something

if fnatic wins against tenstar fnatic plays liquid for the spot in emea playoffs so one team is definitely not going to berlin

1/6 ez

same lmao

I prefer Magnum skye

yup Asuna solo carried that map for 100t

LETS GOOOOO!

I believe in derke supremacy

"bad comp"

does tsm play LB today?

like a young elon musk

:/

I think anything can happen, depends on how the players are feeling

I got the prime knife but only 18% discount so idk, the rest is shit

For that to happen the EMEA teams need to have good placements and the points aren't much higher than in masters 2 (but there are 4 teams qualified so they will all get some points and that's good), it doesn't change the fact that many deserving teams will be left out with no chance of getting in because of this format.

yup, I don't think it's fair at all that some teams have the chance to qualify just because they play in less competitive regions.
Fnatic is pretty much qualified so that leaves 1 spot for direct qualification + 1 spot for the winner of the last chance qualifier.
In the last chance qualifier for EMEA, there are 7 teams qualified through circuit points + 1 team qualified through strike Arabia, there aren't many spots for a region with so many teams, especially considering that some teams have a free pass without even needing to compete against the other regions or just because they made a miracle run once that got them a lot of points.

As you said, I would prefer if they mixed the 3 regions, and if not, rito could and should make a better system format.

doesn't it look like masters 3 is harder than champions?
for example, fnatic and liquid are almost already qualified for champions and they aren't looking that good rn.
and in EMEA, if u are aiming to get a spot in the last chance qualifier it is super hard since teams like futbolist, bbl, forze have a bunch of points just because they dominated their own region, if G2, SMB, NAVI don't qualify for berlin they are basically out of the question which is really dumb imo.

why do they stream the games on yt instead of twitch?

I had no idea what I was doing. I only know GE and VLT and barely watched them.

BDS Sadge

I'm high on hopium rn
