She even baits in my dreams

It’s pretty incredible how accurate these are.

I don’t like how it’s basically impossible to plant without a wall.

Closest list.

Lakia isn’t even good enough to start on his own team.

Shaydos
Nats
Turko
Cned
Scream

Who gives a shit about roles, just tell them to go kill.

Scream is at LEAST top 5 EMEA, anyone who says otherwise has a smooth brain and doesn’t watch Valorant.

I don’t think EU realize how good Asuna and Yay are.

Tenz already smacked the world last time.

There is no weak NA team this time. All three teams that qualified have absolute bangers on the roster.

0/8

You only need to beat 2-3 teams out of 16 and you make 4th place.

And it could only be 4 teams lol

You only need to beat 2-3 teams for 4th and 4-5 teams to win.

It’s so bad it’s nearly unthinkable.

Beating 2 teams in a 16 team tournament should never guarantee 4th or better.

No cap

Groups is double elimination. So if you beat a team they could still play you again in the bracket final.

You only need to beat 2-3 out of 16 teams to get 4th hahahaha

Could be 4 if you play the same team in groups from the loser bracket.

And to get first you only need to beat 5 out of 16 teams hahahaha

What a fucking travesty

Am I understanding this wrong? To get 4th you only need to beat 3 out of 16 teams?

You can get 4th place in this tournament by beating 3 of 16 teams hahahahahaha

Imagine this very likely scenario.

They seed 1 Eu team in to each group.

They seed 1 NA team in separate groups.

You now have the #1 seed in EU with a free ride to the playoffs because they will not have any EU or NA team in their group and since they had the 1 seed from one of the strongest regions they will most likely dodge Most of the other 1 seeds.

Anyone who thought seeding matches didn’t matter probably feel dumb as a box a rocks right now.

Also this sets up a very realistic chance of an all EU or all (basically) NA playoffs which would be HORRIBLE for the scene.

Dog shit

We will have so few teams playing against each other. The most teams someone will play is 6 of the 16. What is this dog shit.

1 team qualified from groups? What if the 2nd best team in the tournament is in a group with the best team? They don’t even get to the playoffs?

I honestly think this is the worst tournament format I have ever seen. Are they trying to kill their game? Did valve pay them off?

Ruined my day.

Dropped the ball

Fumbled the bag

Me: first real international lan with 16 teams. Riot can’t possible fuck this up worse than Iceland!

Riot: Hold my beer

Best thing that can happen for NA is gambit winning.

They won’t play like this on lan ;)

153k people watching Valorant on twitch alone.

Pretty good if you ask me.

Good bait because the title is true to Valorant.

8/8

Took arguably the best pheonix in the world off of Phoenix and made him play Skye. He hasn’t been the same since.

Can’t really argue with this list.

0/8

Last time 100t and Sen played a match and tenz was on Reyna he went 14-2

I think he is referring to how when he first rises up over the wall he aimlocks onto the sage who is behind the box.

We don’t see the sage so there is really no way of knowing that he locked on. This isn’t very good evidence imho.

Is seven actually from Mexico, or is he Mexican American?

Double elimination allows more teams to play against each other and stops things like the best team eliminating the 2nd best team In the first round.

Colonel Sanders was a Jesuit priest who sailed the Black Pearl across the Atlantic Ocean and when he landed in Portugal 🇵🇹 he thought it was Turkey and that’s how Europe was discovered.

I have guild and liquid both making Berlin.

I heard that when he was first benched from 100t he had lots of offers and he turned them down. I think it was hard for his pride to join a team that wasn’t on the same level as 100t so he was waiting for a top tier team to offer him a contract, but now that it’s been so long, I doubt he is getting offers from top tier teams. He might have to sign with a t2 team if he wants to keep playing.

I think lurking is one of the most common things an IGL does.

Isn’t asuna In HIghschool when he started playing for 100t? How old was he when he was pro in cs? 15?

Did yay and asuna play cs?

I think that pretty soon it’s going to come to the point we’re being good in CS doesn’t matter anymore. These young cracked kids are going to grow up on Valorant and dominate the scene.

Funny because I think it’s the opposite.

Guild and Liquid all the way.

Turko was so crispy. I had never watched SMB before today and if they can consistently play as well as they did today, they could make some serious waves in Berlin.

They just smacked G2. They looked sharp and I’m glad a TR team qualified for Berlin.

This is great for the scene.

The only thing I want from CS is a map like Office.

Nothing in Val even comes close.

I would love that.

What percentage of that population has good enough internet and access to computers?

I’m actually curious. I am not trying to hate. 20%?

I wouldn’t be surprised to see fpx lose a few players to NAVI and NAVI becoming a powerhouse.

The more teams the better if you ask me. I hope Brazil does well this tournament. I want Valorant to thrive in as many countries as possible, and that won’t happen if these other regions continue to have poor showings on lan.

This game would be lame if it only stayed popular in NA because every other region keeps losing.

While I would love to see NA in the top 3 slots (I don’t think it’s very far fetched tbh), I think it would be much better for the scene if it went something like this.

NA
Eu
KR
NA
BR
Eu
JP

A top 5 finish for Brazil would be pretty huge for the scene.

Those are Al0rante numbers.

Nerf plz

7/8

Did enjoy

Sen

Envy/100T
