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

Trust bro edg are gonna be great at Shanghai. Edg thrive off of energy and the crowd is def gonna be hype

That I would see

• KRÜ at the top of their group
• Cloud9 beating leviatan AND being at the top of their group
• Sen possibly not making it to Shanghai
• loud possibly not making Shanghai
• fnatic falling so far out of form
• nrg not being the bestf a nteam in the world
• yay falling off so hard (🥲)
• geng picking up a former pubg player/ranked player turns out to be one of the smartest decisions
• g2 dropping two of their ascension winning players(justice for net)
• bleed dropping almost all of their ascension winning roster
• drx dropping rb and zest and bring in two rookies and see them still look really good and possibly make shanghai
• EG beating sen
• jdg falling off so hard just with the removal of their igl

What other crazy things happened that you didn’t expect to happen

ohh gotcha. how does the whole import thing work. if my dad is from venezuela, but i was born in say england, am i able to play in both emea AND americas?

fpx is a bit basic, but theres a phoenix in the x which is cool. i'd put it in meh

do you have a link to the tierlist

wait but does that mean he's an import?

he's na

ngl he looks better without the beard. with the beard made him look like some fluffy dog/lion😭

did he ever say he officially retired?

Yo wtf im 2 for 2

that's what i just said lmao. glad im not the only one

ik im probably regurgitating about 1000 other peoples posts, but the first clip was just unnecessary. dude was tilted and his teammates were laughing AT him. if that were me in that situation i'd be pissed off too. the other clip from last year though is a bit weird, but that could also just be chalked up to being tilted and a really bad team environment. Vanity said that there were no problems on c9

the ss tho is serious. those are some BIG accusations, but theres barely any proof. the ss shows them joking about it and theres nothing there that shows yay trying to bribe ocean into dropping genghsta. at the moment, i dont think yay is in the wrong and people are just so eager to hate on him because he's washed and shit.

im not glazing him or anything btw, just don't really see why people are getting so mad.

also i take back my point about the first clip being unnecessary. nerve hit an insane clip😭

valid reason

oh shit i forgot about zombs vs brazil. that was goated

i've been around since 2021, and sure he shitposted, but you can't deny that he was a good reporter

yeah but thats not a reason to hate, no? he did his job and he did it well

how is he weird and an insufferable human being?

from the streams i watched, he seemed like a normal guy. if you're talking about the screenshots, it was weird, but all it showed was that he can't get girls. def not a reason to drive him into hiding imo

i genuinely don't know how he lost all skill. it's not bc of chamber cuz sure the agent was op, but it didn't help him get better aim

but that doesn't explain the lack of aim. yay still had to use vandal when he played chamber, and was amazing with it. seriously what happened

i cant lie, dude is the most hated person in the scene for basically no reason. i feel like he always did a good job at reporting interesting moves and is better than a lot of the "reporters" we have now.

sure he's cringe cuz he baits or wtv, but those ss's from the women honestly weren't that bad. they were weird, but there was absoulutley zero reason for those ss's to be made public. if someone can explain why he's hated sm, i'd greatly appreciate it

i read that as steel's grandma was dying

bump

the voice is ai, but the lyrics aren't

For me it’s gotta be the teams from regions/countries that have never gotten close to getting a trophy before

1. Edgs run at Tokyo
   • Ofc im bias since im an edg fan till i die, but they came from a country who didn’t even have the actual client released. Zmjjkk lit the world on fire with his flashy op plays and cemented himself as one of the greats. I just hope they’ll be able to lift a trophy
2. Krüs run at champs
   • the only reason why I’m not putting zetas run above Krüs was because I just love the passion from Spanish people. When they beat Sen they had tears in their eyes and were jumping up and down and screaming vamos.
3. Zetas run at Reykjavik
   • their run was actually legendary. going from a team and region that was laughed at and had never beaten a team(I think) internationally, to placing third. Laz’s chamber was insane and idk if we’ll see that run again but I hope so

FUCK BRO HOW DO I RECOVER ???????

What does this mean for edg

0 kills probably

Just turned 17😕

cuz im watching the “this is valorant 2023” and im rewatching edg going on a run

I feel like its a combo of the music+the caster lines

https://youtu.be/AAkaGtRKTM0?si=PrriNY0TBHmtHm0a
^For anyone that wants to watch it

If Sen lose to loud, does that mean they’ve fallen off, or does that mean that loud is good?

I want people to answer BEFORE the game so if loud does end up beating Sen, people can’t change their answers

Also I don’t think Sen will lose, this is just a what if scenario

Dude this is unironically good. You should consider being an actual singer cuz the lyrics are actually good 😭😭

I don’t. I love yay, and tbh idgaf about the drama. If he can hit shots it’s whatever. But he can’t so idk
