Dude dedicates an entire thread to hating csgo, in the meantime writes like a 13 yo fortnite edgy kid

Everyone will study Guild gameplay during M2, that's the downside for them, their opponents will be aware of all moves

M3C with Jady could just roll over qualifiers, biggest firepower in the event by far, nobody's gonna know what to expect from them, of course I'm biased

Acend, Navi strong teams, have shown multiple times that they can fight against the top competitors, Navi was kinda robbed of playoffs both splits, DeepMans will probably fit well in his new environment

Others don't stand a chance IMO, Liquid is stagnating without proper IGL and proper coach, G2, OGLU, BBL are straight up bad

Forget about that team
They're never winning anything and it's dumb to hope so

No fucking way Melser over Shao, Suygetsu, ardiis, Sayf, trexx, Derke

Melser ACS is horrible, 170-180 average in weak Latam VCT

What's the problem to play 2 matches simultaneously
CS does that every event, sometimes even 3 at the same time

Why do you write like this
So weird

Slots were decided before 2022, they couldn't know Loud would reach GF

And where is South America now btw? Not a single team in top-4, Brazil dead last

Sad for whoever loses
EMEA must've had 2 LCQ slots, it's a theft

There was a statistic long ago comparing number of immortals in EU/TR servers and BR/LATAM servers

Number of immortals directly represents the competitive playerbase which can participate in VCT qualifiers

EU/TR had 3 times more than BR/LATAM

Yes, but it doesn't mean last year's allocation was tolerable

Because Riot hates EMEA, it's simple

Other regions receive tons of opportunities at the cost of our ignored merit

So what? Europe playerbase and results across Valorant internationals are bigger than those of Brazil + Latam combined

There's only 6 NA franchised teams, which is 30 players

I think NA can assemble 30 talented american guys on its own, it doesn't make sense to import because of so much potential in NA itself + skill gap of Valorant is low anyway

Optic barely won DRX lol
Optic is weaker than all EMEA teams at the tournament

Optic is in upper only cuz all of EMEA were on the other side

Hopefully Paper Rex violate this lucky trash

Not only you lose to Guild, you also get a free bracket without a single EMEA team

They think they can look at scoreboard "oh, DRX won last 2 maps 13-6 13-6, it means Suygetsu wouldn't change anything" nah

KRU - Gambit vibes
Very good game

It means APAC don't deserve 2 slots either?

APAC 2nd seed <<<<< all 3 EMEA teams

Ironic coming from a country which had 3 slots at Champions and 2 at Masters in 2021, although your gameplay deserved none

How? We've shit on every region last year, we have the biggest player count and teams in VCT count, but just 3/16 slots at Champions

This is opposite of bias

They think it's reasonable to transfer 1 EMEA slot to APAC lol

As if Secret would do anything, they're worse than Xerxia

Firstly, 25%, not 38%

Secondly, EMEA may not have a top team right now which can win a tournament, but all of us made it to top-8 at least, unlike APAC 2nd seed, Japan and Brazil

How bro I can't leave the country

No one dickrides Valve, we say that ESL and BLAST are what Riot should aspire to become

I mean fans should've been louder, should've screamed something

20k but it didn't feel like 20k

Alfajer >>>>>> Magnum
Enzo >> Doma

Current LEV is weaker that that KRU (relatively to competition)

Whatever helps you sleep at night

I don't like any of that dancing and singing, entertainment for kids

I see that Copenhagen arena will only have 1000 people attending for Friday, 2000 for Saturday and 2500 for Sunday
It's miserable statistics compared to CSGO, for example

This is such random article

At least 1/3 of people in the world have already had covid, most just don't feel it, it's nothing serious

Idc I forgot about pandemic already, there are some more dangerous things than a flu

It's nothing lol

3k is nothing

Expected from Riot, they don't know how to organize events, should've taken example of PGL or ESL

Shall I show you clips of Cologne crowd just yesterday?

15k+ people were there live

https://www.tixr.com/groups/vct/events/july-24-grand-final-46405

On grand final day, ground floor seats are all sold

Wait whole arena has around 3000 seats? What a joke

Crowd will boo Marved

XIA 1-2, 0-2 both events
Worse than anyone from EMEA

EMEA's 4th, 5th seeds are stronger than XIA and everyone below (TS, ONIC, BLEED)

It's really not

Users here say Valorant will continue the trend of rapidly growing in fanbase like it did over the debut 2 years of the game

I disagree with that, I think Valorant had a good start (I've written reasons why), but it won't last long, I mean it's already falling off

To be honest, Riot are doing everything for Valorant to bury deeper, 3 events a year, shit franchise 30 teams per world, I don't think I'll even watch 2023 VCT

Depends on tournament

Blasts, Dreamhacks, IEMs have some invites, but there are also regional qualifiers for tier2 teams to make it

And tier2 scene in CS is very developed, there are many pathways from tier2 to tier1, unlike LoL and future Valorant

And now Valorant uses all the positive impact in the esport scene that CS brought us

Valorant had such a fast successful start only because of long CS work over 20 years

Stop talking about years, years don't mean shit.

Asians have always cheered quieter than Europeans, Americans and Brazilians. Fact.

Val is 2 years old but it literally exists only because of CS influence on tactical fps culture

Val fully copied the concepts of other popular games (CS, R6) and now you're telling me this game is "only 2 years old"

EMEA is 5 team region. FNC, FPX, GLD, M3C, ACE

Europe disowns you

FPX have balls of steel, DRX are just repeating history, devastating loss in upper -> bomb out 5th-6th

Reminder that Optic is yet to win against EMEA

They got quite lucky to meet eternal chokers in semis

DRX mental damage from today's game + less than 19 hours till next game = FPX ez win

There's no way Lev is winning tomorrow

I mean have you seen them play

Undeserved, won both pistols and still 13-11, choke by DRX
