are you OKAY!?!!?!?!
15 games in one day????

BIG MATCH!!!

tenzedzombie

sen - nrg not enough time to really cook

I do see NRG finishing pretty high up with daddyfns, but I have insanely high expectations for sen

I think this is exactly it

g2 - is a really decent team don't get me wrong, but the tourney feels like it lacks that flashiness and cool ingenuity we always see at masters (even madrid!)

L take - apac fans have struggled forever

idk if it's the casters or the early starts or just the general tournament, but imo shanghai feels like the most meh tournament I've watched in valorant ever

i mean look at the games
sen - lev
insanely fucking close 19-17, 13-11 - when lev the previous weak was smoked by c9
sen - eg
ALSO INSANELY CLOSE! sen choked a 10-2 for this, and everyone can say eg looked ass until they got there
loud -
not a close match whatsoever, we can all see that
loud shit the bed against everyone else, atp any team would be unconfident, as sen were -> loud regained form

idk what you're on your team is so stale and boring lmao

heheheha

lmao sen missed out playoffs by 2 rounds and encountered every single team at their peak - a prepped out eg (choking a 10-2), an insane LOUD, and a 50 kill aspas, geng had an extremely lackluster split, coming out with the SAME record as sen - to TOP THEIR GROUP. americas is so much more competitive than pacific to begin w

it's the hope that kills you

it's 2am i am only awake bc i am filled with hope and cope

i would replace absolutely no one lmao

give the players a break they're human beings

dude, vlr rating is ASSSS for duelist players be fr

first half of the take was good, the other part ???

tottenham lowkey deserved that first half pen, and the match could've ended 3-3 icl arsenal looked lost throughout the game, tottenham just more lost in the very important moments (not defending them or vouching for them, angeball needs new set piece coaches) but idk

he's a very solid player in rough times, he's a player a team needs. im sure his contribution in the server/comms/ideas is defo there, he has insane experience. his util is usually awesome, i can't remember ever seeing him botch any piece of util. sure he isn't a fragdemon (he can show up if absolutely needed) but bro sets everyone up

me too man! sounds like a shit career line doomed for a life of drugs and alchohol

nrg losing to eg pipe down lil bro

me personally i've loved sacy as a player since he was on vikings lmao i never get the 'drop' calls

i love brazil i love furia i love brazil viva aspas viva loud viva mibr and FURIA!!!!!

fr tho holy shit imagine being havoc going from 2 kills your debut map in vct, to a 1v3 to close out a map 13-3 against HEAVY favorites.
12-0 t side ascent is insane

forgot this was vlr mb yall r freaks

alright, let's compare

sen played gf madrid 14 days before their first match in vct split 1 (after going the longest way possible in kickoff, and grinding tf out of offseason.

fnc played gf lock in 23 days before first match in split 1

also good thing to note is sen didn't have johnqt for all of those 2 weeks to begin w

you cant deny the level of play b/w last year and now hasn't improved dramatically.

tl;dr grow up it's real life people struggle stop being a hater (and if you will, at least make it make sense)

SEN TENZ WIN!!!!!!!!!

fr tho sen 2-1, mibr 2-1

sen locked in on friday huh

found yay's yt persona

biggest match of pacific!!!!!!

doesn't matter vlr rating sucks anwyays

very real

furia SUCKS this season, also did last, but last season dgzin was the only half decent thing in that roster, why tf did he even get dropped? and why is he playing in t2 now?

I did, but that's their singular loss this split, obviously they've won against heavily underperforming brazilian sides, but still, I see them losing to 100t, but probably shredding eg.

w mans

i mean nrg put demon1 on raze (why????) when he's proven in so many other roles. it's just the same issue nrg had last year with forcing roles. nrg is still 3-1, so they're not as shit as everyone's making it out to be

my take: sen should miss shanghai
arguably this seems weird since this is the team that just won the last masters, but this schedule is terribly cramped and shanghai will burn out the team, no doubt about it. I can't imagine being in their shoes coming back after a massive LAN using every single strategy available to not have your igl available until the day of the split's start to then fight teams with a massive target on you. sen will probably squeak through to playoffs and can win the entire thing but imo it's better of for them to simply take the time till split two and get everything straight

fineable comparison icl

sen should shred furia, and loud look very weak - the eg game was a weird low for sen i highly expect them to come in locked tf in and to beat loud

g2 and sen will probably compete for playoffs contention (if eg lose to nrg), which sen should win with good rd

💀

team a wins w a comeback: TEAM B SUCKSS!!! DISBAND!!! TRASH!!!
team a loses to a comeback: TEAM A SUCKSS!!! HORRIBLE! LLL

touch grass broskis

genuinely the most i've laughed at a twitch stream in such a long time LMAOOOO w watchparties

lol what

fellas is it corporate capitalist bad to make a living and just do something you enjoy

to all the people complaining abt getting forced to call clove 'they/them'

grow up? like if you feel that uncomfortable (ignorant) just SAY CLOVE!?!?! no one itw uses he/she for agents 90% of the time, just use the agent name

damage w raze lol

most swiss will just be 2-1 plays 2-0

if they keep doing well - no one.

i watched the defensive half for geng and it honestly was entertaining but this map is like horrible

this shit feels like two teams without a game plan playing ranked or smth,

dry peaks people running around no trading 1 for 1's i dont even blame the casters this shit is TERRRIBLE

like what the fuck is the yoru value?? no set plays at all?

it's hard to say, but I'd say like maybe 10 to ABSOLUTELY guarentee it, given you're given 3 for winning the splits/kickoff/master and 1 for every win during the split. if you get 10, you'd be going 10-0 across the split which would mean if you somehow bomb out at both playoffs you can still qual for champs

sen beating loud isn't as dramatic as tgrd beating optic back then. this is a very established core of players, regardless of last year, loud brought on a completely new duelist, and are still figuring out the entry ideas as it seems, optic back then played pitch perfect gameplay, tgrd winning was a MEGA fluke, sen winning here was a pretty even chance.
