I really don't get how RIOT managed to fuck LOCK/IN. My god LCQ between BR and LATAM was in the same stadium, and not only was it more stacked with fans people had nothing to complain about. How can you fuck up when you got it right in the past with less resources and people???

Probably a clean 4x0 for LOUD, with Aspas scoring 2 goals, and then 2 more by Tuyz and Less. But if they sub Yay for Ardis then things can be different. If FNS midfield is good today it will be harder ngl.

Both won 3 times. One won a Masters, the other a Champions. Who's on copium here?

I wish the TBK flair was back too...

Good to see that China still sucks

Starxo sucks, why tfk is he here?

This is not just lack of confidence, it's pure and plain fear of trying.

EMEA isn't lacking in good players, i don't know why go for Starxo when there is literally a lot of better people that didn't get carried in 2021 and then fell off hard in 2022 even when they were not that good to begin with.

He's a monster today.

It's a fish. Basically a slang to call someone bad, that's it.

Real life hero.

Your post gave him the energy to wake up, thank you

The number of people on opening matches was capped to 1.5k by RIOT+ It's working/school hours on a MONDAY right after lunch time on the DENSEST city on the country, being one of the most traffic-heavy metropolis in the whole world.

Seeing a new rivalry be created from an old one would be cool as fuck.

Just like the Brazilian Casters say: "The daily 7 - 1 is inevitable"

What? Didn't POISED say Faze was winning Ascencions League? What's happening? Why are they losing to a tier 2.5 team? (lol)

It depends man, when it comes to LOUD, Aspas does risky entrys because of his aim and because he can get value out of them even if he dies, Sacy and Saadhak talked about that because of some fracture games and such. He gets a lot of kills but he also dies a lot. Yay seems more consistent because he's got a similar level of aim (both are demons) but he used and agent that could easly get him out of situations in an instant, and even when Yay played Jett he didn't entry like aspas did. Comparing both using raw stats like that is just dumb and shallow.

even Oxy from G2 is better then him

I mean, comparing him to yay in stats is kinda unfair. Aspas was a full time duelist, always making first contact and doing the entry. Yay was mostly on chamber, having safe first contacts through off-angles + instant teleport out after first shot. Aspas is obviously gonna die way more and have less fragging potential because of the difference in time they were both alive.

Outside of FPX, even when all EMEA teams were there, none of them even got even 3rd place.

TSM so hubmle giving M80 a win like that, the best team ever for sure.

easy 2 x 0 for TSM. 13 x 0 & 13 x 1, one round for charity so M80 won't go home that sad.

Would be a really cool match to watch.

Confio que minha TBK vai superar a má fase e vai ganhar aqui

para de falar inglês alignigena. Tu é brasileiro em uma conversa de brasileiros, fica falando lingua de gringo pra ver se puxa um deles pra te apoiar, besta pkrlh.

stats são tão uteis quando a raze do MW contra qualquer time que preste, ou seja, inútil.

Ratzam and trashnr still trash i see, nothing new then.

disse o fã do MW, maior pipoqueiro e jogador mais overrated do cenário BR

Kids these days don't know the law, shameful

Who from Guard said they feel like they can win against any team in the world during the ludwig tourney?

I mean, obviosly? I know you are exagerating, but the top Ascencions America teams can beat most Franchised teams, but that's not cause they are worst, but because they are all fairly new except PRX and similar teams.

If it's a fact, then prove it, come on, give me a complete analysis on why both teams are not smart and show me the INCREDIBLE AMMOUNT of mistakes they are making other then "he overpeeked once" or "he pushed that smoke that one time"

Buxa x Buxa

no, you're the stupid one, because the mistakes like that happened at most 2-3x from each team in a map with 20x rounds, it's a really good margin. You're just nitpicking for no good reason at all, that's normal from bronze analysts.

wow, 2 single mistakes, indeed that NULLIFIES everything else.

vai ser jogão, acredito no 2 - 1 TBK

I hope all chinese teams get stomped and sent home first round.

I don't know about Cned, he's not been so hot as of lately, even if he's got the aim and all of that, even when he could play Jett recently in Acend he didn't have the same shine as before.

KC doesn't look strong, but i hope both ch*nese teams get elliminated immediatly in a quick and humiliating way.

With the current competitive structure, pros should quit Valorant and they should consider streaming or choose a different game for their career; Their life & career is extremely dependent on the current meta which Riot manages. Metas changes are good for the fans but require so much adaptability from the players. More so, it is bizarre why we would have a LCQ already in the first month of the year. I can understand Riot's decision to choose this competitive format (https://twitter.com/lhfaria/status/1615424736791760897), but what they get wrong is that they prioritize the fans disproportionately to the professional players who play their game. It is simply a high risk low reward. Imagine sacrificing your entire 20's just to gurantee a spot in franchising; and if you don't you will feel like you wasted your life. Their entire career is dependent on by a group of people who write the rules based on their own philosophy of what is right and wrong. Valorant & Riot is an example of why an e-sport can never become a sport, so pros should not treat it as such

cry about it

Nah, he is mediocre at best nowdays

The Virgin Nation fans in shambles rn.

RIP BOZO

Chineses Spy behavior

TBK já provou seu valor no LCQ, confio que agora mesmo com as mudanças vão brilhar de novo.

easy for The Union

I mean, since the start yeah, but when it comes to Valorant the CEO is quick to give up on. This is their third roster, the second one didn't last 2 weeks during the start of this season, and the first one that didn't last a month had FUCKING SACY.

Pessoal da Red tem que jogar com 2 medos em mente: Perder e a inevitável demissão imediata que vem logo após tal fato.

My man, you're more obsessed with LOUD and it's players then the average fan.
