Why are yall flaming Something for taking a picture with Demon1? Kinda embarassing tbh

Scrims are the best place to filter out which work better for them and are likely to have a higher success rate, so I believe it is very normal to throw many rounds identifying and filtering out those than don't work / improving the execution of those that will work for them to take into the actual game. You can afford to test them in scrims, but not in a real match.

PRX
LOUD
EG
FNC

Why do people take scrim results so seriously? Isn't scrimming the best time to test new strats and comps that may or may not work.

If they want SG representation,

Juicy from BLEED
Grumble (not sure if SG or not but Ilya and Jinggg praised him in rank once) - https://tracker.gg/valorant/profile/riot/grumble%231111/overview

If not SG representation
Zeta Dep
DRX Foxy9

Not a fan of Ray4c. He may be a judge god but his rifle is pretty mid and his level of undiscipline can only work in T2 esports.

o7 Ima buy you some bubbletea if I see you on the streets

If PRX doesn't mind not have Sg representation, why not Dep from Zeta? He's been carrying his washed roster for quite a while now, and still maintained 300+ ACS against NRG and 200+ against FNC. Only issue I see is a potential language barrier unless he brushes up his English

I think Illya did mention that he isn't good with Raze kit and her movements, so either F0rsaken has to play Raze or find someone else.

Did he specifically say he'd stop competing after National service because of university? I did remember him mentioning about uni in one of his streams but everyone here seems to imply that this is the end of his competitive career. I'd respect his decision regardless but I hope people are not just making assumptions here lol

Well, there's part time degrees but I guess its probably not what he's after. Wishing him best of luck for the remainder of Champions and his future.

He can’t defer his military service but I don’t see why he can’t compete while doing his university studies… 23/24 is still an average age in pro play.

So why would you save strats only to end up using more strats since you play more matches in lowers

• Team comms
• Better trades
• Less throws
• Capitalizing on opponent's mistakes
• Strong mental - Decision and risks in game is more than just losing RR in pro play
• Good understanding of opponent teams for anti-strat

Bind Ascent Haven

Split and Lotus is a coinflip tbh, not sure if PRX has had their confidence swayed from the 2-13 L to LOUD on Split

TL isn't washed, they narrowly lost 11-13, 15-17 to NAVI
Navi also barely lost 13-11, 11-13, 11-13 to LOUD who are back in form

LOUD fought hard to make it out of Group D and almost won against PRX.

I'm not one of those who says EMEA is 0 team region so you can't tell me FNC isn't washed now.

But wasn't that PRX with a streamer sub + washed NRG... IMO they only had EG as a potential opponent

Since both teams permaban Haven, they'd likely leave it as decider if either team prepped or the last ban would be Haven.

1st Bans Regardless of who goes first
EG - Pearl (PRX best map)
PRX - Fracture (EG best map)

Picks
EG - Ascent
PRX - Bind

2nd Bans would depend on who bans last and whether either team has prep for Haven
EG - Lotus
PRX - Haven unless PRX has prepped Haven

PRX - Split
EG - Haven unless EG has prepped Haven

Decider
Lotus / Split / Haven

EG had an ez group stage and only won against washed DRX and EDG . Similar playstyle to PRX but probably won’t be able to keep up, PRX 2 1 EG

Let’s see if Something really wouldnt have mattered during Tokyo

THIS. But the betting odds are still skewed in favour of FNC thanks to delusional fans so make some money while you guys can.

Wtf why are the odds against LOUD? EZ windfall if you put your lifesavings on them.

• PRX 0% comp pick
• Demon1 and Something both ace at least once during the game
• Boostio thrash talks during the opening

Never liked NAVI fans but I felt like they deserved playoffs more than BLG and FUT

They're unstoppable in Tokyo, but their run in Champions is still unconvincing considering they only won against ZETA BLG and FUT. Beat DRX and LOUD/EDG and Ill have them in the GF with EG/PRX.

No it means they're washed now and will need to prove themselves again

Something is better with the OP and shorty plays, F0rsaken is better with knives. But since F0rsaken has a wide agent pool it makes sense to have him fill other roles while providing additional firepower

FNC 2 1 DRX
LOUD 1 2 EDG

I have to disagree with this. FNC had easy groups Zeta and BLG, and they've only won FUT and lost their only real match against LOUD.

Its the same with Sentinels. The players are likable but fans overhype them too much to the point where brain dead vlr users start shitting on the team

FNC haven't won a real match since Tokyo so your ranking is kinda outdated lil bro. ZETA, BLG, FUT followed by a beating from LOUD 😭

Fnatic counters PRX with CGRS since they had to switch to a single duelist comp, but we can't say for sure against their full roster. Still, FNC, LOUD, EG and PRX are definitely contenders for the trophy.

Typical behavior of these haters. APAC and CN will always be underrated until we earn a trophy. This run is the best chance we have now.

Where are the bots saying this during Masters Tokyo

I think LOUD was the more dominant team, but PRX were more mentally resilient. GG and hope to see both teams in GF

It is a fact… but it is funny how people say he was being carried against EDG when he underperformed and now they’re talking like he single handedly carried his whole team. Recency bias much

Pacific seeing such these threads: 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿

Cmon stop being softie

Because 90% of the laugh threads have always came from NA and EMEA? Don’t drag our Pacific region into your decade-long rivalry please

Classic L take from common unemployed VLR user

It's called a team game for a reason. You show up on some days, and underperform on others. That's why Jinggg and Forsaken is still there to carry him in such times.

You telling me sayf has never played bad before?

He said he got jet diffed
