Tbh i don’t notice a huge difference other than the quality or play being worse late at night

Hindsight is 2020

The team isn’t even eliminated yet lol

What do you want me to say lmao

It went to a 13-11 third map that loud only won because a 17 year old had a once in a lifetime performance lmao

Both teams are good no need to hate bro

BR fans hold the weirdest grudges lmao

Nothing gets in the way of an optic 3/4th finish

TRUE

Honestly solid team. Very consistent for being orgless

I wouldn’t be surprised if some of their players get poached in the nearish future

I’m betting my vlr.gg stars on this match

Downvote in the future if optic loses

Upvote if optic wins

If EU is that much better than Optic when do they play?

Zombs hasn’t been one of the best NA controllers since 2021

Compare how he plays compared to people like Marved, Zander, Valyn, and Vanity

He’s significantly worse performance wise than all of them, and all except Marved are IGL’ing as well

Copium thread

It’s almost like brand matters for a player’s value

wait EG might not be trash now

Come to chicago :D

Bad management

They need a new manager + coach

Jett is still going to be good on certain maps bc of dash + smoke

Other than that probably Raze and Neon

Yay can play chamber

They’re a pretty funny satire on edaters imo

Mentally unprepared + both teams they faced are fucking insane

pretty clever ngl

I'd say Victor and Marved popping off is more important than Yay

Yay plays well regardless

1. TGRD
2. G2
3. M3C
4. C9

So is BR trying to jinx the game or what

Copium

When does Turkey play?

tarik watchparty >>>

You can count Fnatic, it’s their fault they didn’t make playoffs

Also EU has no teams in the upper bracket OMEGALUL

you had 3 teams and they're all doing worse than NA's bottom seed KEKW

Also screw you we won the game anyway

This mentality is so fucking annoying

Idc about regional dominance, games where almost all of the seeds are from the same region are so boring

Tbh i just want them to have a bracket where NA doesn’t immediately play NA

Imo stewie is a bad igl with even worse firepower

I don’t think the game is in a state where a team can be good with a 0.93 rating igl using 2018 strats

CerQ and Stewie2k will kill any chances of them being top 10

Also rush is one of EG’s better fraggers as hard support so i don’t think he needs kicked

Sadge

There also just hasn’t been a single region with a well defined dominant playstyle yet

Valorant still hasn’t matured into there being a correct “meta” way to play the game. It’s still a young enough game where explosive w key teams can be just as good as slow paced utility-bleeding teams

2 bad games = confirmed cheater

I guess all we can do is wait and see, but i don’t think he’ll ever have a place in the meta.

I just don’t think he has the entrying capability of a true duelist, or the space denial and information gathering capability of an initiator.

They also could’ve picked into Bind, a map TGRD is comfortable on and PRX has shown weakness on

He is

Show me an example of it working internationally pls

Imagine banning the map you 13-2’d optic on 💀x7

Trent’s an onliner sadge

Why did the guard pick into PRX’s strongest map, and and let one of their worst maps (split) float through??

I especially don’t understand the Breeze ban. Breeze is a map where early round aggression is easy to punish so it should be a weak map for PRX and their double duelist comp. This was shown by Xerxia beating PRX on breeze.

Instead they picked into PRX’s strongest map and let PRX pick TGRD’s weakest map

IMO this veto is why guard lost, and I have no idea what was going through mCE’s head

PRX did throw a map lead against them by picking Yoru though so I could see PRX getting vengeance eventually

C9 vs Optic = elimination

TGRD vs Optic = elimination

Sentinels vs Envy = elimination

100T vs Envy = elimination

This team literally always kills NA’s chances in international tournaments :(((

Unlucky

I wish they’d had the group stage for Trent to get used to the pressure + lan

They lose early a lot

Easy lower bracket run copium

it's barely even an eco anymore when teams pull out chamber and jett ult for all of the opening duels
