name checks out

one monitor for my uni classes, the other for masters LMAO

i know youre trying to get attention but, itll be worth watching since first game of berlin all the hype and this game that could be very fun to watch as the first game to set us up for the rest of the tournament
i and hundreds of thousands of people will be watching :D

EDIT: damn i guess its not the first match but there will be lots of people watching still!

I usually dont make threads but take a look at this

edit: did this brotha fall off a scooter

bruh imagine being diamond in EU id just take a break for two weeks from ranked im not playing against pros LMAO

yeah for the first year in valorant i went from iron1 go plat1 and i worked for that shit, it sucks to have people get smurfs for them because i take my rankups as a personal achievement. sometimes i'd get smurfs asking me if i need their help like bro let me do it on my own and feel like i earned something

i feel you bro

yeah, the four teams that made it for EU deserve the spot because they literally won the games they needed to win in order to earn their spots. liquid failed to do so which is why they dont deserve a spot

yep, in a few days!

i hope they succeed because i love the underdog story! :D

yeah it probably is to help out the japanese fans

i hope not
right now I think TSM should rebuild after their run in the LCQ (if NA wins Berlin) because their most recent team is the best one theyve had all year
they benched bang already so if they drop more players now they definitely wont come together in time to win the LCQ, i think the decision to make more roster changes will be made after berlin for sure

honestly, thinking about the good old days is what makes me want TSM to succeed again
also the rivalry with them SEN and 100T was so hype to watch during first strike no cap

I hope there is an underdog team from a weaker region that makes an impact this tournament. itll help the scene grow and create more hype for champions

what about allow though lol, he's also cracked

oh god i just drew VS, 100T, ACEND and G2 in one group could you imagine this at berlin

hope not, would be a more interesting tournament if they made it out of groups but yeah two teams do gotta get eliminated from group a

Sadge

dog please

??????

dog what else do you do all day

he really did attract me using the word Jalebi

depends what youre into really

i hope dep comes back, reject has the potential but they always struggle against some things that they shouldnt struggle with
if they find their groove then maybe they can get on top of japan

lowkey a good idea since they have game changers for many of the regions
maybe during the LCQ time they can have their championships where one of those teams qualify after they spend the first part of the year qualifying for their main event

i think they will get more spots depending on how well global esports does in the lcq
hopefully they can do well for the SA scene!

From the tier lists you guys have made I have gathered that:
-SEN and Gambit are the top 2
-NV, 100T, Acend, VS, G2 and SMB are in the top 8 (not in that order)
-HL are probably 9th
-SEA, JP, F4Q, VK, and KRU are in the bottom half (not in that order)

Hopefully one of the teams from 9-16 can break into the top 8 because it would give us a real underdog to cheer for!

you got a clip? :)

damn this guy pulled out the logs

no, i think since theyve competed in NA and under the NA vct tournaments they would have to qualify that way
also the OCE teams are in the NA LCQ, 2 of them get to participate through their qualification process

as an NA guy, im so hyped to see the rivalry continue, Iceland was a little taste of the NA vs EU but this event feels like a worldwide clash its gonna be so good
and the champions will be the time for revenge and all that i cant wait

it sucks for turkish teams to play on such high ping, it gives me more respect to SMB being able to qualify with the odds against them
they'll do turkey proud in berlin no cap

i think its the same amount of games
before: 6 games per group with 3 playoffs games ((4x6)+3)=27 games
after: 5 games per group with 7 playoffs games ((4x5)+7)=27 games

yeah the way their format is right now there are 6 games for every group and 3 games for the top four teams (24 + 3 games)
what many people want is two teams coming out of each group which means 5 games for each group and seven games for the top 8 playoffs (20 + 7 games)
the second option being preferred by many is actually the same amount of games so maybe riot should you know CHOOSE THE SECOND OPTION LMAO

also a double elim bracket for the potential top 8 would extend the dates of masters berlin which they cant change but what they can change is the first option to the second lol

that too ^^^^

i think most people dont like the single elim to figure out the winner
but champions will probably fix that since its the final final tournament of the VCT

dude i love vision strikers cmon

wait he didnt mention vision strikers no way

that's lowkey genius

last chance qualifiers

goddamn they on the smoke

16-7 obliterated LMAO

yeah i say 'we' when im talking to my friends since we support different teams but i guess it is weird to say that in general

overall they have the funding in anything they want, combine that with a high level of nationalism (in a good way :D ) and they try to get america on top to feel so patriotic

i mean think about it like this, a team from the country you are from wins the world cup. and that makes you prouder to be from that country as you've been supporting them throughout the world cup. now i guess people who are older than you would agree more but they'd refer to themselves as 'we' since theyve been supporting the journey and when your favourite team wins, doesnt it make it feel like you won? like the SEN fans when they won iceland I could only imagine the joy they felt in sharing the same emotions of victory. again, people from texas when the cowboys win the superbowl will feel as happy as if they won, this feeling is coming to valorant and makes people say 'we' a lot more

REJECT :D

yeah if someone got 100% correct for this one they should buy a lottery ticket

the dragon stuff is too expensive, i learned this the hard way
go for a different one no cap

as it stands TSM can only get into champions from the last chance qualifier, they currently dont have enough points to get in BUT if a North American team wins berlin, then another spot will open in the Last Chance and TSM have their final shot

edit: fuck the other guy explained it first

hello :D

I mean he was ready to take the heat if he was wrong, i respect the balls on tis guy
