They can only switch if cis get more slots, otherwise it would be stupid for fpx to swap a region with teams like Giants able to qualify to a region where they might not qualify themselves(im not saying eu are weaker than cis but top 3 CIS def>top 6 eu)

Bold prediction now, you see it first and will make tons of money if u are into betting:they gonna lose to Acend and won't face Gambit at all

More chances to qualify to emea from eu than from CIS at this point lmaoooo

It might be troublesome to relocate him to Saint-Petersburg or Smolensk/Pskov/whatever town in the west/northwest with good enough Internet providers(cities with best ping) because maybe he's studying in college or some shit, but yeah I would like him to not waste his talent playing with mediocre Japanese roster and try himself in a team with cis talent instead.

Honestly idgaf about non cis teams but Acend will most probably beat 100t if both will perform the same on lan as they do online, 100t is by far the weakest na representative, they might make it to top 6 but not further.

I'm from a csgo enjoyer region SUKA BLYAD

Will see in a month, hope Berlin top 2 will be the same as hltv top 2 now

Whichever team yay is on because yay coached for free in his discord back in the days, I'm really glad that now he doesn't have time for it due to obvious reasons but still I am his personal fanboy forever lol

Forze could only take split to ot vs navi, they lost Bind 13-1 and Icebox 13-7, liquid took a map+looked better than Forze vs navi so I think it is 80-20 in favour of liquid, even tho as a cis fan I want Forze to win.

Fnatic took sen to multiple ots, fnatic couldn't even qualify for Berlin, the question is will 100t take double digits on any map vs acend, hiko does not have s1mple and elige on his team this time

There will 100% be such a group because na+emea+kr=9 slots, either 2 emea+1na group or na+emea+kr, so being top 4 EMEA actually sucks, I just realized that

Sorry for toxicity

Based as fuck, pipson was a thrower on my favourite team in crossfire and was a reason for them sucking dicks back in the day, I am a personal hater of him and insoM so NAVI DAVI

Exactly, seeding does not really matter, top 1 na and emea will most get last seed of the opposite region+top 1-2 teams from minor regions except Korea, so it will be easy to get top 2 in group stage for 3rd seed na!/3-4th seeds emea

No, they weren't, their core has been playing together for couple of months months and they only added cloud instead of crabik, not a completely new team like you portray

Wouldn't really call it a choke given how navi performed vs acend, seems like Acend and Gambit are more or less same level judging by scores vs navi, and Liquid are def way weaker than Acend, I would say 80-20 for Gambit in Liquid-Gambit match up.

Gambit are leagues above navi(7-0 so far, with half the maps not even being close) , so I doubt liquid can win vs them if they face each other, we will see tho, everything is a possibility.

This qualifier is a chance for Valorant to become more popular here, the same happened with dota when navi won ti1, dota still dominates cis despite lol being a way more popular game globally, that's why im hard rooting for our region now

CIS is just good at fps, look at current hltv rankings, the same might as well happen in Valorant who knows.

Imagine not being too fond of cis when you are Russian, fake and gay tbh

Forze are(unfortunately) way worse than navi, so liquid are favourites to win(coming from a CIS fan), liquid probably wont qualify even despite winning vs Forze tho

Not an fpx fan but feeling proud for 2 Belarusian players to be in top 8 EMEA at least, now rooting for ssk to beat Guild and Giants and I will be very satisfied.

They are losing to 3rd cis seed, and Forze are way worse than navi let alone gambit, it is easier to qualify for EMEA from eu than from CIS cuz they have 6 slots versus 3 slots in CIS.
