Because G2 is not winning the tourney. This only means 100t is far above other teams.

If prx lose to 100 thieves then yes a lowers run is accepteable? but to G2? Even fnatic looks stronger rn. The only team prx can beat is fut

There is always a "top" Team that completely crumbles in the mid season masters. Usually loud takes that slot. Guess its PRX turn now. Gg, fking frauds

ok

Go to tier 2, fight with some dude, probably Steel and break a promising tier 2 team. Then go to APAC/China and fails miserably.

What upset? G2 is expected to win. Sea is a minor region. Have mercy on us pls

Not that hard when there's only 3 mid teams+ geng coming out of Swiss

Pacific's only change of winning. If this is not achieved 100t or fnc will steal it all

Master tel aviv

The expectation of this team is to atleast make it to playoff of internationals, not go 2-4 in regional league. They underperformed massively.

Change rossy's name to skrossy and give him op, they win champs

They tend to flop though. Izu and foxy9 was the star KR talent in JP and they are inconsistent.

Problem is xcc is their best igl. They lost to dfm with carpe igling. But xcc is not even a good igl so they need an actual igl.

T1 is not going to champions imo(there's drx,rrq, talon waiting) . So probably this is the last time we see them in international this year.

They need an actual igl. Xeta for carpe

Faker will diff everyone through sheer aura alone

Atleast drg is funny when they play, this is just mid

Only if they have skrossi

Assuming they are not braindead and actually research when is exam season in Lithuania and consulted if miniboo needs to be present for the tests, they would have seen this coming from a few months ago.

Which means either they are lying and they have been practicing with patitek or they incompetent. Anyway nobody forced them to sign a high schooler so they just handicapped themselves. Thats not an excuse, they choose this.

MY BROTHER IN LEO FARIA , THEY SIGNED A HIGH SCHOOLER, OFC HE HAVE TESTS.

Seriously, the fact that heretics dont have a plan for this situation when everyone can see it coming shows how bad the org is.

Did they drop a map against emea? Im not aware of that. Last i checked FPX beat Fut

Lev got more rounds vs 100 thieves than GenG

So who is second? 100t? Prx? FNC? By what metric?

Until playoffs happen geng prx 100t and fnc are about equal.

Because they were second in the world?

Oh no, the consequences of my own actions. How did miniboo suddenly have tests? In the middle of the season? Surely nobody seen this coming, its not like academic calendar exists and they could have planned ahead...

Yeah keep coping, nobody told u to sign an 17 year old high schooler and fk up on getting a visa for ur Turkish players. Should have planned better

Im not the one who signed a high schooler without knowing when is exam in Lithuania, cope more

They are not the worst team in the tournament, merely second worst. Congrats on the improvement, at least ur not the worst like in madrid.

Shouldn't have hired a high schooler knowing he have exams lmao. (Also notice how emea let a Highshooler play while Juicy is stuck in T2 due to age) classic riot emea favoritism.

Copium, also what every other game? EU only good in CS lmao

Look at all these copium

PRX and Navi both played really well with a sub with 0 prep in the past and one of them played with streamer, TH is a fraudulent team from the start. Quit making excuses, patitek played for the team for two tournament and half a split

Rigged i swear

It took NA how many years to win their first major in CS? And it has bern 5 years since any western team reach a final in league in both MSI and world's.

This is how it's done in esports, otherwise CS would have 13 EU teams, 1 Na, 1 SA and 1 Asia team. League would be 6 Kr, 6 China, 1 sea, 1 Jp and 2 western teams., but ofc when its not China nobody actually complaints about free spots.

RRQ will be the 5th with monyet, trust

The first map is the closest map though...

The expected result no? Both regions looks the strongest this year.

Aspas is still the goat btw

Looks like the only region that will start 2-0 is China.

NI HAO

Geng doesn't do that, that's lev. Aspas was not even trying in the last defend round(its a 1v5 but at least try to win the round instead of pad stats) and in the last round lev decide to walk around the pit basically guaranteeing they lost the round. Granted moving into the pit against 4 people probably only works 5% of the time, but atleast thats better than the 0% stat padding play they did

Geng also looked rubbish against t1 on their first match

Water is wet

Get that shit out of the windows, this is now the Lakia show.

After FPX v Fut are we doubting china? Really? Against heretics with a sub? Need i remind you they lost to BBL. I never get why people overrate Heretics, they are not that good. They do dumb stuff and somehow people kept falling for the same Benjyfishy trip or miniboo set play. I said that they are the weakest team in madrid and i maintain that opinion now.

They thrive in EMEA because emea teams outside of fnatic,Kc and navi dont innovate outside the game and only fnatic adapts in game. The fnatic GC reverse sweep was exactly that, Boaster realizing how bad TH actually is and crushing them. Case and point : THEY (emea) DONT KNOW HOW TO BEAT FUT'S NO SENTINEL COMP. Even fut themselves know it wont work in international thats ,why they changed the comp yesterday.

TH can do their wierd stuff, but DRG is even wierder and they will drag TH down to their level and beat them with experience.

Did lev or Kru win an event? Because Brazil is a separate region and not a minor region

Smoggy fits more into the more tame edg. Life is very wild and you need to built around him hence the transfer make sense.

An old power that first unified china but is no longer relevant. So Tyloo

ignore all those people above me, they dont know anything about China. But some of the team do represent regions for example EDG represent the Kingdom of Shu, the rightful claimant over China, FPX represent Wu and their famed Sun clan. BliBli though on decline, represent the Cao Wei Northern plains. DRG is associated with the "Sleeping Dragon" Also of the Shu kingdom.

DEGENERATE FOOT FETISHIST CRUMBLE BEFORE THE MIGHT OF THE PHOENIX

They were deaf, they can't hear it coming. Are u even watching the game?

Last round : 4 stack in a site with multiple high low setup and quick flank. They still lose.... Why go b?

U guys are valorant player what sleep schedule?

Phoenix, clove

They need one more player

-Estrella + Invy

Sea super team

Then they either become a hivemind like prx or become the new nrg cuz no igl

DRG SWEEP #DRAGONRISING

The dragon and the phoenix shall eat the sun over shanghai. The weaken heretics stood no chance, while the sick fanatics and their foot fetishist shall be eaten alive.
The guards and the thieves both shake in their boots, while the false dragon will crumble.
The dinosaur and the tiger will be broken, and neither edward or faker can save you now.

Welcome to the new era
