Ur points abt any LANS pre Copenhagen are void bc there were no real crowds, just staff. And yes there were threads about Turkish crowds from people rooting against FNC but lets be real the reaction were way different. Turkish fans did not boo anywhere near this much and none of them left. Not to mention they also showed up even when FNC wasn't playing. So it's def not a 1:1 comparison like you make it bc Copenhagen crowd was wayyyy better than this.

I pay my bills, and if two Tier 1 teams were playing valorant with a great crowd near me I would go watch even if they were not an NA team. Because I enjoy the game and with a great atmosphere and crowd it will only elevate an experience I already enjoy. IDK y that is such a strange thought for you?

but the atmosphere was shit.

Alfayer, the only Turkish player at the tournament, made FNC huge fan favorites and when they got knocked out the fans didn't act like brazilian fans. If you try and deny this you clearly didn't watch it bc the Turkish fans were so mf loud for them and so crushed when they lost yet they still acted respectfully to all players and teams.

We don't claim him. Zyppan is insane

Not a joke overall more NA winners

EU nerds r just mad they have twice the teams and the least amount of good teams compared to any region. NA tier 2 owns 3/4 of EU franchise teams

You are dissing a team by saying they make it to semi's or quarter's every tournament. NT buddy

He's def top 2 with Yay. American Duelist Supremacy

DRX makes a fake comeback but carries the moment into the next 3 maps.
3-1 DRX

Dude ur legit British... Just stop typing

thief

This shit mf resolution doesn't help

what

Mad

I agree Sheydos is clearly still amazing even on weird roles and if they get wolfen to stop fucking oping his rifling seemed very good.

I definitely didn't. I thought 100T would be very good since they did well at champs and kept their core with a good duelist upgrade. Everything seems like they would have an advantage at this early tournament except for the fact they switched coaches. I rated MikesHD higher but this is making me doubt him.

I agree I always liked BarBar and have faith. The only worry is if starxo and avovva have the firepower to compete at the top. But if they go back to their peaks then they def can.

They are mid compared to expectations, IG SGARES carried them more than I thought.

The worst part is that I think there are more "good" teams in NA but the few "great" teams in EU are just better. Especially once Liquid get their shit together they could be on FNC level.

I've been on the Copium for awhile but it's clear that NA is a one team region. Chet and the Optic core are the only NA players that know how to play valorant at the top level. Our only hope now is that LOUD wins and we poach more players :(

I've seen this guy accidentally jump 50 times in vct matches. At what point does he change the keybind

actually fax

The downfrags only prove babysasuke is right

NGL like 2 should of been kills tho. Rito small indie company

This man always has moments like these under pressure since 2021. Man is not built for this

He looked into Vitality's soul after that clutch

This guy puts brackets for now around the players he likes. Copium overdose from the British as usual

NRG LOUD play closest and highest level game of 2023=Tier diff between the two teams. Genius

1.LOUD

2. NRG
3. FNC
4. DRX
5. NAVI
6. LEVIATAN
7. 100T
8. TALON
   Every team here has maintained their core which is why they are all performing well at this tournament. Their defaults, chemistry, setups are all more established and its clear in these games.

Any OW fan knows his aim is crazy. If he's been grinding and learning the game he could be an S tier pro.

No lag its all on ur end

Derke loses to a stinger with op LMAO

ded

Fax C9 were the NA scrim team ever since they got vanity until like champs 22 and they haven't won shit for 2 years

7-5 lmao

Vitality has nasty aim with sheriffs so they just fucked them after pistol. But There was a definite team diff this game.

I always thought Navi and FNC were gonna be the two best EU teams bc they kept the majority of their core. Just like all the teams that performed in the alpha bracket you need a longstanding core with chemistry and defaults setup already.

LOL British

Orange Chicken

Banger!?!?!? I hardly know her!

Spit some more

L take NA does not take this man

He's just mad at forum writer

The pistols were only close one or two times. LOUD has GOATED pistol strats

Pretty stupid logic until he outperforms yay from last year. Which he def is not doing yet

buddy they are staying up to watch it for zeta not leviatan.

NGL man as an NA fan this is braindead. It's legit the most popular team from Brazil playing in Brazil. Like come on man

Gotta note this one down as one of the biggest L's in VLR history
