Salty after a team like gm8s was able to take the ascension spot

too bad ascend cant speedrun their way out of ascension

what a way to curse drx, I thank you

its small for sure, but this game isnt the one to measure it, this is a very clear off day for trace. the cn chokers show themselves again

billibilli didnt win champs group, fnatic rekt them which is why they faced nrg twice

very much a mental diff

ahhhh ardiis back at it again. clearly our patriotic youth hasnt been helping us lately

they need a fengshui master, who cursed them

not new tech, just better at this tech

lots of team do what drx do. drx are just better than most with the outlaw

flair check, ascend? clearly baiting

yep, trace are pretty even with edg is scrims and logically shouldve always been second seed for china, they are just massive, massive chokers. thats why trace winning in champs makes no sense in the groupstage cuz logically they would choke more there, maybe they had no pressure as they "already made it to champs" but now that theyre in playoffs the pressure is getting to them

nerves, same reason fpx didnt pick abyss against sen and changed their lotus comp. scared of antistrats and giving these teams too much respect

vitality copers are real, trace owns u

Trace just cant shoot back rn. the 5 rookie players in a playoffs is showing. clear nerves are present, overall their macro wasnt bad buzz and beyn were just not missing

helps when you have players good enough to win some of these duels

haha, we can hope

the map vs edg spooked them. they feel heavy pressure after doing well. their calls are good, they have the right plans, but they are losing the big fights which make you panic, it feels hopeless after losing but doing the right thing, they therefor want to change something because it isnt working rn. which leads to less discpline more solo frags etc. very reminiscent of fpx vs sen

aim diff rn, theyre macro isnt terrible

trace arent doing bad this map, i know the score is bad but the only issue is they cant win these important duels. mechanics is the real problem over anything

trace are actually countering them really well, and the comps weakness is showing. trace is just losing crucial duels

what is this gloom and doom, trace have a decent chance

if they improved sunset it wasnt against edg

dont worry let biank cook up real quick

liquid aint making champs even if they got to choose all seven maps

classic chinese, im scared of antistrat so lets pick a different map so we can pray for a win

no gambit

average liquid coper after being unable to make champs

wdym kk doesnt have a name of his own? he even has a nickname

groupstage seeding. so for group c its 1. te 2. lev

if lev and fnatic win today, every single first seed would have lost (DRX, TH, TE, G2) which reminds you of shanghai playoff and champs groupstage

trexx > sheydos

sen 2023 was peak valorant, because sen fans could finally stfu

team liquid, because im a team liquid fan

edg beat prx, prx shit on dfm.
edg beat fut, fut beat lev, lev beat sen, sen beat prx, prx beat dfm

edg beat fpx, fpx beat fut, fut beat lev, lev beat sen, geng beat prx, geng beat dfm

dude I have 0 faith in edg, idk why, ive been such a doubter of edg for this enitre season despite them playing good so far and I should be bias to them cuz their my favorite team. but every match up looks like a potential loss

I wouldve 100% thought they put chichoo as igl cuz he was the smartest player, muggle is 10head and its probably why I will never be a coach

such a dogshit org

LIke what? to audience? to orgs? indiviudals or teams?

For orgs:
soulcas is a good shout, always a scrim demon never good in a real game for orgs
Yay is another one, top player in 2022 but never put up numbers since
scream making any team believe in his igl ability was fraudulant
Trophy wins:
Optic (reyk) visa issues
Fnatic (lock) mickey mouse tournament
Ascend (champs) won champs, did nothing after/before
For Audience:
NRG 2024 roster; "superteam" couldnt make a single playoff
M3C 2022 roster; back to back grandfinalist, couldnt make an international event
SEN 2022-2023 roster; believed to be a top team but didnt make an international event
TL 2023 roster; frauds in lock//in. won emea just to shit the bed in champs and tokyo

thats worse than china and everyone else here

demon1 smokes?

1. Korea
2. Russia
3. USA
4. China
5. Turkiye

the us have never had a full 5 win a trophy

turkiye couldnt make playoffs, china has therefor china > turkey

I really liked fpxs abyss comp icl

who? never heard of em, maybe you made them up...

drx have shown they are willing to float and play lotus. drx are pretty mediocre/bad at ascent, te are the best ascent team in the champs, drx are not pulling a leviatan map veto

Every single team that has made a grandfinal has won a tournament (except 1 certain team)
Sen (madrid and reyk)
Fnatic (lock//in and tokyo)
Gambit (Berlin)
NV/Optic (reyk)
Ascend (champs 2021)
Loud (champs 2022)
FPX (copenhagen)
EG (champs 2023)
GenG (shanghai)
Therefor TH (champs 2024)

1. EDG
2. TE
3. FNC
4. TH
5. DRX
6. G2
7. LEV
8. SEN

americas fans are annoying, and pacific just got a trophy win, fnatic having a champs trophy would be pretty cool

trace are extremely humble, edg step out of line here and there but nothing extraordinary. pretty much every other chinese team love shit talking esp fpx and blg
