Bro its absolutely depressing to see that SEN playing like dog butter is getting so close to winning games against teams like TG and especially fucking 100T (who ppl say are the 3rd best team this LCQ). SEN getting that close to winning when shrouds monitor and headphones are off and while Derrek is clutching every 7v1 is just sad to think about. NA competition is dead fr fr

not when it gets to the point of death threats and blatant and genuine feeling of hatred towards the fanbase and especially the players who for the most part never do anything wrong

bro these 100T fans are for real radical tf

shroud was literally the reason they lost but ok.
Edit: aight idk why i responded to this depressed neck beard, jesus christ this guy is hurt

havent seen it yet but thinking abt how he played the whole game im already cringing. Yea its a shame cause they very EASILY couldve won this match and potentially could improve even further but it is what it is. Im just annoyed that the next time im gonna see any of these players play is next fucking year. I hate the lack of matches that teams that dont perform get to play in, like i wanna see more SEN, M3C, and Ghost, but if M3C dont qual, we literally will see none of them for another 4 months at least

wym unlucky?

ngl shroud looked like he was half asleep this match. Bro had 6000ms reaction time and was missing literally every shot and had 0 clutches. Probably a bad game but it really is a shame that it had to be in their most important match

No the guard were playing like shit but sen played worse. I just think that its so obvious that these guys could be the top of NA again as long as they put in the work and try to have more discipline. You can see that they throw a ton of rounds and have terrible pistols. Think about Breeze but without SEN throwing like 6 rounds and actually having a good pistol at least so they can buy a sheriff on round 2. They wouldve beat TG, they wouldve beat 100T in this game, and they prob would make at least lower finals

this team been around for 3 weeks and looked better than half the teams in the LCQ thatve been together for at least 3 months, I dunno man

wait these guys still play valorant?

He doesnt know what a humbling is, i mean just look at his flair

isnt that the point of downvoting?

Common bronzillian trying to have their own opinion

lol all g, i was kinda confused at first

AYO shit, having it in barcelona would be sick tho lowkey

Does anyone know where NA franchising will be held or maybe there are leaks somewhere. Im just asking this cause it seems like it might possibly have been leaked since were already starting to find out the teams that are pretty much guaranteed to be in franchising

they pay the org yet the org already needs to be rolling in cash to get accepted, kinda counter intuitive ngl

Indo is definitely getting 1 spot at least considering we had a double indo finals this LCQ.

the phantom sfx kinda weird ngl. Id pick up all of them if i saw them on the ground but the only one im buying IS THE KARAMBIT. That shit is amazing, best knife in the game hands down

this upcoming faze v guard could decide it for them ngl. TSM are probably a lock too. Id say faze and tsm get in over tgrd and v1

aaah 100t fan makes sense

POV: You give away that youre a fake flagger

yall really are forgetting the fact that Kanpeki already got benched for zellsis who is only temporary stay on sen and that sick used to be a flex player and hasnt done very well on smokes. Its like everyone is ruling out the possibility of Shroud staying on the smokes role and having sick go back to the role that he was absolutely dominant on

fix the recoil like make it more aggressive? Cause i think at closer ranges its waaay too lenient with spamming like how you see yay constantly spam that shit when someone gets close and its just a free kill. Just reduce the bullets to 4 so that spamming isnt viable

pick/ban systems only work when there are repeating/redundant abilities throughout the agent pool which sounds like a terrible thing for casual play imo. I honestly think just make more counters to already existing over powered characters and allow for more options by balancing ALL agents. The goal is to make all agent viable for pro play even if its just on 1-2 maps

The whole point of the headhunter is that it has ADS tf

Reduce Headhunter bullets 8 -> 4-6 (id say 4 so that you get punished more for spamming the gun aso ngl ive won so many eco rounds from it by 1 tapping ppl)
Reduce Ult bullets 5 -> 2 [Regens bullets back to 2 on kill] (This is so that ppl that play stupid and dangerous angles get punished for not hitting their shot and so that youll be more inclined to play standard more predictable positions) if not this nerf then maybe
Reduce or Remove slow effect on the operator (either make the slow effect less aggressive and reduce the size or just remove it completely, tho if it is removed it makes him even less of a sentinel so maybe just reduce and resize the slow)

i definitely think ppl care too much and read too much into the viewership but i think its justified if they talk about it due to new peaks cause that just means theres a lot more interest for the scene

Did this Masters hit another peak or was it just meh viewers compared to the other events? Usually after the LANs Val hits new peaks and i hear a lot about it but i havent heard anything about the viewership for this event

Huh?

thats what you call dominance? didnt they immediately lose?

I mean sen probably have the biggest chance of getting accepted next to C9 soooo...

yea man SEN is gonna bomb out

Id say FNC would be higher than Optic cause while Fnatic were a disappointment they werent playing nearly as bad as optic, the expectation of that team was just so high that it makes the performance they gave just that much worse. Id say FNC wouldve won against Optic 8 times out of 10

So id say:

1. FPX (When they dont throw and actually try to win they look like the most consistent and scariest team to go against cause they have so many clutch players and the fact that everyone even sometimes Ange1 go crazy in their matches just makes them that much more terrifying without even talking about their insanely good anti strating)
2. PRX (if they were a little more consistent and hadnt lost in such dominant fashion on their best map i think id give them no.1 but they still have a lot of problems to fix)
3. FNC (played terribly but the fact that they got so far playing like this just goes to show how insane their individual players are, in Champs FNC is probably gonna be the hardest team to go against)
4. Guild
5. Leviathan
6. Optic
7. DRX (yes ik its quite low but an average of how they play would be 7th place. Id give them no.1 or 2 if they consistently played at their peak cause i think peak DRX is the best in the world rn)
8. Xset

Everyone has accepted that KRU was a fluke team my guy, Optic will be the same in the coming months

clearly a guy that didnt watch fnc and doesnt know what good gameplay looks like

you mean the guy with 60 ACS?

pre scoliosis post D3FFO was the GOAT
but post post they both doodoo

im disappointed that one of my people said this
goblok lu

THE WHEEL KNOWS ALL

taught*

thats why SEN is coming back and winning champs

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Optic suck bruh, disappointment honestly. Id rather watch TSM at international LAN T_T

That is such a stupid take my guy.
Even if what you said is true (which it isnt in the slightest its actually such a 1head take) that still means that these teams are ass regardless cause getting mental diffed against a team youve never played before is just so pathetic. FNS has literally said over and over again that it doesnt matter where the teams are from EMEA or not. They dont look at where the team is from but they just play to win against them. Their performance had nothing to do with the curse, they literally played like this in the match against DRX and DRX are from fucking korea

Damn you spittin fax for real, its almost as if the optic fans have some SALT clouding their judgement of how ASS their favourite team is

placements in a tournament dont determine the strength of the team relative to others. Loud was in last place, would you say with what we saw that they were indeed the worst team at the event? Cause I would say no.
Xset, FNC, and DRX placed way higher than loud did but would you say that with the way they played this tournament that they were better than loud?
You have to be in iron with that kinda take ong so stupid

if being consistent means throwing buy rounds against ecos, throwing 1v3s, losing a triple kill round, and playing neon on icebox, then I dont want any part of it

lol true

just cause you didnt expect anything out of them doesnt mean their fans didnt. Imo they looked a lot better than FPX and they are definitely a lot better than FPX but the game they had to show up Russ just wasnt able to make any impact whatsoever and Suygetsu was unbelievably vital in that win. If the playoffs bracket was organized better and was more balanced I think Guild wouldve made it further than Optic would

yea but the way they did it they didnt deserve it at all. they got an unbelievably easy bracket. No one from Optics side of the bracket won a match against the opposite side. And they also played like my local competitive esports team of grandmas

Yea DRX is the biggest disappointment and loud as well but i dont think i was that disappointed with xset cause sure i was expecting more but never thought that even at their best theyd be able to win anymore than 1 match

I think FNATIC are more fitting to be on that list rather than XSET seeing as FNC were the undisputed favourites coming into masters and they played like the famous team of throwers, Optic
