My goats finally win one. Wish they did it under Moist but I'll take it

This isnt ascension bub

SRB 2-0. Cant ban both Fracture AND Haven, ez 1-0 start :)

SR 0-2... As a fan who has watched every game.... we dont stand a chance. Prove me wrong boys

😱 ok nvm monsi the goat

G2nd . . It was destined to be this way

FUCK G2 WE RIDE LETS GO T1 !!!!!!! Pacific #2 trophy

Says 4 stars on VLR. Who doesnt go outside?

He happy, that awesome. But stop being such a nuisance that you are insufferable from over 5 thousand miles away.

I could not imagine being in the building, much less having to sit within "can you shut up" distance of her. If I had tickets and she was there, I'd leave. Cant enjoy the matches at all.

I said "every kill." She has no single team. She has been at every day of the event (except maybe 3rd i didnt watch) and doesnt only shriek for one team

To the one woman in the crowd who does a double shriek after every kill

I hate you

That is all

after the double cliff dive i think this map is peak val

Kamyk 1v4
N4RRATE 4K
N4RRATE 3K
paTiTek 4k

if that was true you'd be forced to get a SEN rematch

their last 3 matches . .
G2
DRX
TL

so id guess SEN v T1

Lotus - attacker sided (usually) - SEN 7-5 on defense

Abyss - attacker sided (usually) - TL 7-5 on defense

If SEN win pistol and tie up this sh*t is scripted

this is a default as it gets, and its not an A wall specifically. It blocks the B entrance AND covers the initial A walk. . its more of a B wall than anything

What are the rules on casting and why does it make no sense (letting casters cast teams from their own region?? Only 1 caster here from EU???)
Here is the list of all the talent at the event https://x.com/ValorINTEL/status/1890818050384941414/photo/1

So far we have seen 5 pairings

Bren + Sideshow (thrice, EDG v TL | VIT v T1 | SEN v TL)
Achilios + Paperthin (twice, DRX v SEN | T1 v TE)
Pansy + Ender (G2 v TE)
Mimi + Ender (VIT v DRX)
Pansy + Sideshow (EDG v G2)

Regional talent casting their own team(s) have been

Achilios + Paperthin (Pacific talent, casting DRX AND T1)
Ender (NA talent, casting G2)
Sideshow (NA, casting G2 AND SEN)
Bren (NA, casting SEN)

So 1st point. . Why is Pansy the only EMEA caster here? She is top 2 in my opinion, along with the duo of Bren and Sideshow. I get maybe Mini is too new for an international, but surely we bring Mitch and/or Tom??

2nd. . I'm probably so NA pilled that I'm projecting, but having Achilios casting team from his own region felt off. . No reason we couldn't have Pansy + Tom (again why isn't he here) handling a Pacific v Americas/EMEA game

3rd. . Mimi?? Look I absolutely love Mimi as a talent, on the desk and on platchat. But I have never heard her cast before, and it felt strange to have her doing so at an international event. Also if we are getting Mimi on the mic, are we to expect an appearance from Yinsu or Kaquka with Pansy?? ok im just spitballing now

let me know, felt like VCT are just sorta rolling with whatever, feelt a little chaotic on the mic

??? 12-14 ???

Nice ragebait

Rip SRG. As a newer fan coming from Ludwig and Moist, I was really looking forward to watching a GC team light up T2.. wasnt meant to be.

No worries, just win relegation and we'll see 'em next split

gg!

Loser eliminated, gonna be sad to see SR go out like this

https://valorantesports.com/en-US/news/ace-valorant-challengers-na-2025-a-season-full-of-changes-and-opportunities

"Teams with 4 losses will be eliminated"

How does this have 4 upvotes for something false?

4 losses and you are out. Gets pretty dire for whichever team doesn't show up here

GEN 13-7 TLN on BIND
TLN 13-4 T1 on BIND

. . GEN 13-0 T1 on BIND LMAOOOO

ummmm. . definitely meant the other way around -_-

Sentinels Madrid 2024:

UF 0-2 v GEN
LF 3-1 v PRX
GF 3-2 v GEN

Sentinels Kickoff 2025:

UF 0-2 v G2
LF 3-1 v MIBR
GF ?-? G2

will history repeat itself

Vlr be like "live" ..... the hell it is 🤣

Also for gods sake i just wanna watch PRX... guys its almost 6 am and we still have another map

Use me as the "I was here" button

Every single player for BB went negative and they won the match.... yikes start to the season

NS 2-0 BME

TH 2-1

TH pick Team B

LEV ban Bind
TH ban Ascent
LEV pick Icebox
TH pick Abyss
LEV ban Lotus
TH ban Haven
Sunset remains

G2 pick Team B

FNC ban Icebox
G2 ban Sunset
FNC pick Haven
G2 pick Lotus
FNC ban Ascent
G2 ban Abyss
Bind remains

DRX 2-0. Trace are 2-0 on Ascent, 2-1 on Bind, and 0-3 on Sunset. Thats it, the only 3 maps they have played. And DRX are VERY good on both Ascent and Bind

DRX pick Team B

TE ban Icebox
DRX ban Lotus
TE pick Ascent
DRX pick Sunset
TE ban Abyss
DRX ban Bind
Haven Remains

FNC 2-1 G2

SEN clears on Icebox and Lotus, so ez 1-0

Havent seen Bind since 6-13 loss to G2 at the end of split 2... EDG have been crushing everyone even here at champs... 1-1

Both teams really like Sunset, and Zekken vs KangKang on Neon is a banger. . . SEN 2-1

SEN pick Team A

SEN ban Ascent
EDG ban Lotus
SEN pick Icebox
EDG pick Bind
SEN ban Haven
EDG ban Abyss
Sunset remains

China teams only started showing up to internationals last year (2023) while SEN were slumping really hard. And SEN has only attended Madrid this year. So only one chance for them to meet until now

DRX clears on all but Lotus and Ascent. Ban one, ez 2-1. . . Rip TE

DRX are top seed, they will pick if they want Team A or Team B. Team A picks and bans first

I am expecting . . .

DRX pick Team B

SEN ban Ascent
DRX ban Sunset
SEN pick Lotus
DRX pick Haven
SEN ban Abyss
DRX ban Bind
Icebox Remains

i actually think its the opposite. FPX went toe to toe with heretics, who just beat GenG. and at shanghai FPX took Lotus off of GEN as well so they are already close. If GEN dont show up (which they will lets be real) then i could totally see FPX avenging shanghai

nah, but i did pred this one https://www.vlr.gg/pickem/43121dce

PRX is not diciplined enough to win bind or ascent. it will have to be icebox or lotus, even haven. i think prx can win on open maps that require good mechanics over small maps that require team play

LEV ban Lotus
TLN ban Sunset
LEV pick Bind
TLN pick Abyss
LEV ban Haven
TLN ban Icebox
Ascent remains

38/38 rounds and FPX +6 kills.... TH 2-1. crazy statline

BLG at 10.00 odds sounds awfully appealing 🤣

Vic +20
Brawk +11

And they lose. Because Mada goes negative for his first series of the entire season.

Two people responsible for this collapse..

Mada, the single best player in the entire league, doesnt show up for the most important game....

Mac (coach) with some of the worst pick/bans ive ever seen. Repeatedly putting MXS on maps they are not comfortable on. Ban Lotus and play Haven?????? Pick Ascent instead of ICEBOX??? YOUR BEST MAP ALL YEAR

tbh best possible matchup for Mogi. 2 Moguls vs 2 Moguls

Sym/Aproto vs Flyuh/Brawk. Either way im rooting for the winner of this match to win ascension

Why is mid80 shooting bodies on every round? M80, yall are classless. You got skill but no respect at all

Fuck mid80

This comp has me wanting to rip my hair out

3 sentis on lotus??? Damn ok
