L take, this series is gonna be a banger

This match in particular I feel like is gonna be insane. But yeah seeing good international competition is always the best.

Gonna be a banger

NRG hopium in my heart. But if not them then Guard if they bounce back, Rebels, or 100T all would be good for champs imo. All comes down to if lcq is lan or not.

If its lan sentinels and c9 might have a better chance just based on experience

I actually watched it the other night cus it was in my recommended. Honestly like seeing teams behind the scenes esp for big events like this. More teams should do it. If anyone else has other teams that have done similar pls lmk.

That being said optics video producers are great in general.

ikr?

mods let alot of dumbasses stick around on this site, Trembos basically a celebrity here.

XSETs 2 lan rookies played well despite the shitshow that was their entire Copenhagen run, really cocky and overconfident going in. Yeah sure you won your region but you still got shit to prove. But they're still easily a top 5 NA team on the server. They got humbled and hopefully they get their shit together for champs and do better there. But you can't just take a teams slot away for performing under their expectations. Maybe instead of shitting on XSET maybe realize that Leviatan played phenomenally and the match between these 2 teams was still a really good game despite the amount of throws. Majority of the 10 players are new to international competition anyhow.

C9A Mocking??

Mocking to actual C9 roster soon?

NA, XSET would be 2nd rn, yes they might've looked like shit on their first lan but as of right now, theyre 2nd best in NA.
SA, Fusion or VK for 5
EMEA, Agreeable list
Asia, PRX, DRX, ZETA, Xerxia, NTH would be the top 5 here, altho East Asia and APAC LCQ can kinda help clear up alot of the 4-5 range

mickey mouse lan experience is still nothing compared to any Major event.

I could say I've got LAN experience by going to one of those but that doesnt equate to an actual big stage tournament like Masters.

yes but would you count a tier 2 lan compared to tier 1 pro stage lans?
Dephh CSGO
BCJ Apex
Ayrin Crossfire

Despite XSET underperforming massively for the amount of talk they threw up there before they played their matches. Cryo and Zekken went nuts in their 2 series, the Guard comparison can't really be made outside of the fact that the NA 1 seed bombed out. XSET atleast kept it close in their match with Leviatan, and the 2 LAN rookies popped off compared to a full 5 team of rookies.

Future is bright with these 2 as a young star duo for XSET, it sucks that the rest of the team underperformed when they have that experience. Hopefully they do better in Champs.

it includes Brazil

Honestly despite being a shit show, good match, I would say both teams played well but that'd be an overstatement.

Everyone doesnt realize that BOTH teams have never played an international LAN until this tournament, and got stomped by DRX and Optic who are no slouches, they're still some of the best in their respective regions.

its funny too because people will trash on XSET or Leviatan players despite the fact that any of them could 1v9 vlr users

not hard to tell especially when thats literally all matrix has done on this site.

unoriginal bait, gtfo

regardless of XSET vs Leviatans outcome, I'm not wrong

with guild losing, its FPX FNC for champs
guild goes to LCQ for the 3rd slot.
No direct champs slot for M2 winner

i think him and victor are the only ones who've won a game playing yoru in VCT.

So yeah, you're right either way, F0rsaken best Yoru in the world

As he drops a 4k

Based on performance thus far at Copenhagen, Derke is better statistically. But the gap between them isn't by much imo regardless because Yay had a really slow start on LAN.

Both are in that top 3 Chamber/Oppers in the world easily.

Their playstyles are different enough to where its not a total 1-1 comparison outside of them being their teams star player.

10 confirmed per region, in all honesty it should be 12 each like how regional challengers are ran and theres such large playerbases to fill.
Region Leagues:
Americas, 10 teams (NA, BR, LATAM)
EMEA (Turkey, CIS, EU)
APAC (SEA, SA, EA, OCE)

Slots that will be allocated per sub region is unknown at this time.

Could happen if Leviatan doesnt make Franchising, KRU is kind of a lock tbh.

for franchising its 10 teams per league/region

the current running idea is 6-7 NA, 2 BR, 1-2 LATAM

Personally I think it should be 12 teams, make it like 7-3-2 (just because latam doesnt have alot of big orgs that can be really justified over NA, no disrespect there, thats just factual because riot would take stable money orgs > all)

it would be kinda insane if NA only had 3/10 slots for the americas because that would completely gut the playerbase.

Again honestly franchise should be 12 teams per region similar to how challengers are ran.

so i just came back from being off the site for like 8 hours, what did mocking do now and why is it hilarious?

thats sucks cus theyre a staple of T2, but with franchising they woulda been in that unknown space of "what happens with the t2 scene"

dephh from cs
ayrin and bcj from i think crossfire
they also played in a NSG lan event as a val team so technically all of them but for cryo and zekken its their first international lan

Syyko gigachad

Its cus valorants kinda proven that any team or region can pull off a crazy skill jump or upsets esp with the meta changing often.

That and I think it would be cool for Order to actually do well outside OCE

In america we call that spectrum

Yea sadly thats why alot of ppl come here and then its just a shitty platform because its rare to get an actual discussion that isnt some bait shit

Bias is showing heavily bro, theres a list now of baiters from every region and so far EU has way more

He isnt wrong, takes arent bad just is an order hopium fan. I'd take that over baiters

For vlr baiters, yes.

Their existence revolves around 12 hours on this forum spreading hate and racism because theyre locked in their basements.

Just know how to tell whats a bait and whats not

Wow matrix takes a bream from talking shit about NA just to shit on Korea. So original

Skipping to playoffs is the worst part of the format tbh.

Thats true.

Because baiters are braindead

Its 10 per region, just prob 8 allocated to apac, 1 kr, 1 jp

Lenny Time, ez, mocking wins champions 2023

He always comes back thats the thing, youd think he'd be banned but he's been here forever.

Apac Jimmy got banned recently but i think it was temporary

Justenjoying is unironically the best user on the site and we need his return.

How are they baiters? I havent seen them bait for shit. Theyre just emea fans with brains

You forgot unironickekw for emea and 100tboejiden for na

Dexter easily becoming one of the best users imo alongside mintvalo and ng1s

This statement right here

Marved better Omen Brim
Mako better Viper Astra

Both in the top 3

Other top tier controllers in my book include Sugarzero, Nats, Sscary,

Because NA lives rent free in racist regional supremacist european baiters on this site.

Exhibit A. Everytime Psycho posts
Exhibit B. Everytime Matrix posts

One of them literally had a schizoid hour on here

Give her the prod treatment
