Hahahahahaha what was I saying

This was so obvious

it's so easy to predict at this point

just wait and see

Liquid favorites?

KC favorites?

being top seeds in their regions 👑

Who would've thought

Looking likely ain't gonna lie with Lev and Kru most likely finishing first and Loud being Loud

and still won't make playoffs if Loud just beat G2

Yeah that's why Bilibili won champs

No one was prepared to play against that style

It's over for them for sure now

3-3 and 7/6 is the best they can get in terms of maps and the others in their group are already doing better + the teams in Omega have 2 wins.

they're basically 1 series away from Shanghai

Also
Heretics choked hard
KC choked hard
Gen.G choked like never seen before

Heretics with Wo0t is nr. 1 so I hope they don't choke v KC next week and miss playoffs because of it.

Love her man
She's so underrated

Don't need one with this team
Sayf, Leo and Shao are all secondary callers for their teams and Miniboo seems to talk a lot as well.

Only EMEA players so no n4rrate
Mine would be:
Wo0t flex
Miniboo duelist
Sayf sentinel
Leo initiator
Shao smokes

Crazy to leave out some of the Turkish players right now but my team is valid.

-Derke +Sayf and Alfa on duelist and let Sayf do the mid-rounding

Crazy to have Alfa and Sayf as your 2 duelists/sentinels

FUT and HERETICS

I straight up think they will lose to Fnatic then lose to Heretics in round 1 of playoffs and be out.

I'm very confident about it honestly if that's how playoffs works at least.

I'm assuming FUT takes first place, NAVI 2nd and TH 3rd.
And then NAVI face TH and lose.

I definitely favor TH since KC hasn't been looking that good anymore

Well both could still make it with a loss but then they need other teams to lose
KC will need Fnatic to lose (against Navi which will be a 50/50 game imo) or Vitality to lose (which i don't see happening)
TH will need M8 to lose to TL (which is a 65/35 game in favor of M8 so basically a must win for Heretics)

Damn

Sen v Loud elimination game and now KC v TH

They will beat NAVI no matter what

TH v FUT elimination game would be insanely unlucky for both

Fnatic and Loud v a good team is free money it seems

to make playoffs
Shit hope they make it
Can't trust TL to beat M8

Get 4th place in Alpha and take 3rd place in Omega group's spot beat 100T (2nd place Omega) and then need 1 more win out of 2 series (Lev/Kru/NRG).

I used to pray for times like these 😭

LATAM is so fucking back

They made top 4 at champs 2021 bro
No real IGL just sliggy and vibes

Melser is more reliable than Mazino so no keep Melser he's cracked asf when he doesn't have to IGL

5 SHOOTERS

Just need some good tactics and not become predictable and they will cook most teams in the world with ease

The bookmakers having TL as favorites vs TH

WTF were they smoking?

Kru is looking better than Loud tho and can beat Lev as well

They somehow are the favorites in bookmakers eyes

Yeah?

What now 🤭

I went to bed after the first half of game 2 wtf happened?

Winning the least competitive tournaments?

No one truly cared about the start of the year except for some teams like Sen/KC/Gen.G

💀💀💀

They were thinking about starting a legacy

wtf is this hahahahahha
Crashies over those EMEA initiators got me dead same with K1ng for sentinel

BRUH WHAT?

Team Liquid are favorites?
What are they smoking?

Yeah true if they all keep winning they just all make it out

Ow yeah

Especially since Loud is in huge trouble and that series is a must win for them

Wth they might not even make playoffs with this format

Especially if they drop another series

C9 already won their hardest games (at least 5-1)
NRG looking to go flawless (6-0 or 5-1)
Kru looking damn good (5-1 very possible)

Loud can't even beat C9

Yeah but I just hate the narrative that champs 23' was the peak of Valorant and the rest of the year was the worst period of Valorant.
Not like Fnatic was the standard for the whole year and made all of the teams step up their game

They would not have these random losses
They only lost to TL in a seeding match and to their kryptonite of Loud at Champs.

Sentinels has already lost more games and maps than Fnatic
Gen.G is losing
Loud is losing
Paper Rex is losing
Everyone is losing and has always had these types of losses

Loud 2022 probably comes closest to Fnatic 2023 or Optic 2022 that also lost a lot of seeding matches in NA and upper bracket games in internationals but still way more losses than Fnatic in 2023

they beat Loud as well?

They're just gonna repeat last year right?

Lose both their chances to qualify to Shangai.

Odds on Koi not getting 12 rounds?
