What will they win? A slot or what?

Old but Gold
Imagine how it would be the first EMEA team to lose to NA in this year

M3C 2-1 Navi

Navi 2-0 BBQ

Chronicle>>>

Navi 3-2 M3C

Navi 2-1

And we can't properly say that Guild or Fnatic couldn't be #3 if they got Optic's bracket.
Fnatic lost to top-2 and top-1 only.
Optic lost to top-2 and top-1 only.
Guild lost to top-2 and top-1 + won top-3.
I have the courage to say that Guild are actually #2,5. I can't compare Fnatic and Optic here.
P.S. It's just math, reality is different: Optic #3, Fnatic #4, Guild #7-8.

Suygetsu

I bet on Navi 500 rubles

I didn't see that Guild played bad, they lost to top-1 and top-2 teams and won top-3 team. LUL.
Guild doesn't need any changes they're obv #1-2 contenders now

I've thought that this Indian organization was in NA LCS

All of their games were very close (but M3C)

Is this the same organization as it was in NA LCS some years ago? Veloctiy

I guess Nats is streaming for his popularity and his fans, not for money. Cuz it's impossible to monetize Twitch from Russia nowadays

That's why they went through the CIS qualifications over EU ones

Laughing in KRU, M3C language

Navi, M3C, Guild from my perspective

Navi is not an easy team to beat, for six bo3 loses (they're 4-6 for 2 Stages) they lost 0-2 once to M3C only. They're real contenders for Last Chance.
In addition, CIS players are very strong in Valorant, from all 23 Sub-regions in Valorant (23rd is CIS which one is cancelled). CIS players are in 8 of them. Name any other Sub-region who have it more?

I think there are no questions about inside competition of two regions (NA and EMEA) and where is harder to qualify. Yes, Optic is one of the best teams in Valorant short history, but I still value Champions is higher than Masters. IMHO

P.S. They gave a single map to Optic from EMEA, finally

FPX broke the Optic's curse. Will they break the Winner's curse and win more than 1 tournament in a row?

they don't cuz they lost to FPX

And they lead by awesome Ukrainian ANGE1

"no one reached the final after their wins"

But Gambit got the 2nd place on the Champions no one reached the final after their wins. Optic were close, but its not #2

1: C9, Optic, Keyd, RA'AD, Sengoku, Team Valor.

2. FPX, TBK Esports, Unbeaten Esports.
   3: Full Sense, Alliance, RPX, The Guard.

both false gods (Fnatic, Optic) lost to true gods (FPX, RPX)

Didn't they lose to Fnatic, Ascend and OG?

Or we may see how the same company did with MSI in League Of Legends.
There is one country people can't go out of their country -> LAN with ping.
In Valorant two countries people can't properly go out of their countries -> ignores the problem.

No matter what. Navi is strong!

Maybe Riot will announce for Masters2 something like for MSI with 35 ping

Yes. The same about Navi if they could get #3

do you think about visas?

CIS has another side of this coin :D

I hope EMEA won't split up. And we won't see M5/Gambit LoL story in Valorant again

nAts said: "It's a plan. And we are going to have all 5 maps in the final. We want to play more maps", on the post match interview in Russian language after the match with X10.
Sheydos said: "You wanted emotions. Here you are, your emotions." after the match against KRU, yesterday night :D

Even from 10-4

And change a few other teams then :D

It's not a big deal, I guess. It's still a part of EMEA
