nah ngl putting METEOR on sentinel

in a perfect world, what agents would you want to see "fun" broken

valor leaks showed the cypher changes but not viper ones

You are NOT Chunkio.

okay sorry, i misread it. i thought you said it was prime valorant as in 2021 was the best valorant played

wait what's happening

ok ngl that's just not true at all lmao

fair

why is this in general discussion smh

it MIGHT be able to replace the chichoo ace, but that's only cuz chichoo wasn't able to stop the defuse

vs th? it's crazy, but it's a pistol round+not good enough to replace anyone on that list

oh i didnt see that

edit: bro edited it smh

it was good, but was it INSANE

fair, but who would you replace it with?

franchising

thoughts

I haven't watched much emea or pacific to remember insane highlights, but in no specific order

1. Jawgemo's bucky ace to close out ascent
2. Fit1nho's 4k on split
3. Chichoo 1v4 vsT1 this one is HEAVILY slept on
4. bang low time clutch vs LEV
5. c0m clutch on ascent vs prx

HM:

• Saadhak fracture
• something's 4k against EDG:sob:
• cgrs pushing s0m. tbh this can be debated cuz from his pov, thats the best play

holy fuck. thats insane

ngl missed opportunity to say "it's a plane, it's a helicopter, IT'S JAWGEMO"

wait anyone got a clip? i missed the game last night

idk if they'll win, but ever since eg came close to beating loud at kick off i've known there was a possibility of them long term doing things

oxy?

also ngl kk clears keznit

nrg just lack an igl

bro sen fans are insane lmfao. yall dickride the team, and then the SECOND they start losing matches because they've had almost zero time to rest, much less come up with new strats. i may not like sen, but just chill the fuck out😭. them not making shanghai is good for everyone. it's good for me cuz edg has a higher chance of doing well, and it's good for sen for the reasons ive given before

yeah i was thinking either gmb or fnc being one of the two teams

but you forget about internal issues. sscary and crazyguy are on bad terms i thought. i think bleed HAVE to keep yay because aren't they paying him like a million dollars??

These are just matches that i've seen 10000 times. i don't watch enough of the other regions to know what is or isn't el clasico

Internationally

1. LLL vs OPTC. enough said. this is THE "El Clasico" cuz they always played internationally

Regionally in America:

1. 100T vs SEN. this one has been around longest i think

Regionally in Pacific

1. DRX vs PRX

Regionally in China:

1. EDG vs FPX

I can't think of anything for emea

not taking out ascent is crazy

i hate playing it in ranked, but i LOVE watching it

i mean leaf never plays ranked. ik all his teammates on c9 were saying how he only got on the game when he had to scrim lmao

ngl idk if him coming back is the play. yes he was insane when he was playing, but he's gotta focus on himself. i don't really know what happened to him to make him react the way he did/do the things he did, but that was not good at all. maybe once he's better, but def not now

oh for sure. ive been a fan of them since 2021 and to see them finally have a chance to go internationally again is amazing for me. my fav teams atm are

1. EDG
2. Gen.G
3. 100T

how the hell can loud still qualify. that's insane considering they started off 0-3 lmao. it would be cool if they qualified

can wolves make it out? i havent been following much of the cn scene just cuz it's so early for me, but from what ive heard trace looks really good. i like wolves tho cuz spring is rly good

but do sen WANT to qual? i feel like they want a break, no?

from a player perspective, i don't want to qual just so I can get a break and create new strats and shit, and if i do end up qualing, i probably wont make it far and that might have an impact on my mental

from an org perspective, i want them to qual so we can 1. get the prize money even if we come last, 2. generate hype and get more fans, 3. get people to buy merch

eg is indeed cooking, but i just can't imagine they'll be able to make it out. eg are heavy antristratters(they couldn't even beat kru, which yes they're a really good team, but not the BEST itw), and i dont know if that can be used consistently. i could just be talking out of my ass

oh i didnt realize. ig kc instead of th then

can they even make it ??

eg loud is insane😭

if FPX win, i'll be a bit salty cuz edg DID put china on the map, but i'll be happy if FPX win cuz they're from cn and at this point i'll take any win

I'll be fine if they make top 4

but we dickride for a valid reason. he's an insane player

edit: btw wtf is your flag cuz i've never seen that place before😭

they have everything going for them tho. they're testing stuff out, they have homecrowd advantage, AND they're being underrated again and they want to prove everyone wrong

i'd love to see geng vs drx at seoul

Can we all collectively come and cheer for EDG at shanghai? EMEA and Americas have too many trophies, and although Pacific hasn't won a trophy yet, their time to lift a trophy is at champs. Champs is being held in Korea so it'd be perfect for them to finally lift a trophy.

WARNING. INSANE GLAZE INCOMING.
China has only just gotten the official game launched, and already you're seeing teams with great aimers. Sure they don't have the brains, but the potential is there. Imagine lifting a trophy in front of the home crowd. We've only seen that once which was EG winning Champs LA(i know FPX lifted a trophy in front of an eu crowd, but not in front of their country. same for acend champs 2021 and gambit masters berlin). The chinese fanbase is honestly top 3(alongside japan and brazil) in terms of energy and love. EDG have their own fucking security and are treated like bts or something😭. I'll get to the point. EDG need every bit of support that they can get cuz they're in a slump. If we can see everyone on EDG bring back that tokyo performance, and Nobody starts consistently getting 3ks, and KK can get fired up by the crowd, and smoggy gets kills while concussed, and chichoo becomes the clutch god again, and haodong calls an ever better game than he has before, I'll die a happy man. Your favorite team can win at another event. If EDG get knocked out, root for the other chinese teams for the same reason.

TLDR: root for edg/other chinese teams cuz winning in front of a homecrowd, specifically CHINA which has like the biggest population itw would be a surreal feeling

In no specific order cuz im not trying to predict playoff seeding and what not

Americas:

• LEV
• 100T
• KRÜ/SEN(if they qualify for playoffs)
  HM: C9(prob wont happen but it'd be cool if that happens lol)

EMEA:

• TH
• NAVI
• FUT
  HM: KC(could probably happen, but idk who'd they go in place of), BBL(i haven't watched them play cuz emea is the region i watch the least, but they've beat good teams so maybe they'll go far)

Pacific:

• GEN.G
• DRX
• PRX
  HM: Talon(the team has some great aimers and they have fun personalities so I wouldn't be mad if they beat drx or prx. not if they beat geng.)

China:

• EDWARD GAMING(my goat)
• FPX
• Trace
  HM: ngl idk cuz those are the top teams imo. maybe BLG?

shut the flip up y0y

oh i just saw that the bracket is already out

alr so all this game matters for seeding?

are they guaranteed to make playoffs?

Any Tana French books are really good
