Engh worst coach and that's why Gambit won Masters and are currently still in contention for Champions

You're so smart man

Look at Texas flag, think again

KRU is from Texas

Gambit won the veto
Let's see

One positive thing about losing is that bandwagoners will be gone

1. meL couldn't be on tier1 team and I don't know why the fuck you even assumed it
2. She gets paid by Cloud9 more than she would get paid by any male tier3 team

Weakest teams in the event were Crazy Raccoon and Vikings, if you think otherwise you didn't watch any games
Sentinels lost 1-2 1-2 in really close series vs possible finalists of the whole thing

And just like he said, results don't show the strength of teams if it's a group stage format with only 2 from each group advancing

Vision Strikers 1-2 1-2 against some of the strongest NA / EU teams Fnatic, Cloud9
Secret 0-2 Acend who struggle in venue and pretty much play 2v5 every game

You can't rate Secret higher than Vision Strikers or Sentinels
X10 maybe

These flukers shouldn't have even been here

Fluke to Iceland over Gambit
They would've lost Ascent 3rd map in that last game

Fluke to Champions just because Gambit won for them an extra EMEA slot

Mazino Russian pride plays with the best language selected in Valorant

KRU is a CIS team

Sentinels fanbase makes up 25% of all Valorant watchers
They are loved everywhere, primarily in NA, SEA, South Asia

Gambit fanbase... Uhhhh...

No I'm not

They lost to Brazil and only barely overcame the worst playoffs team, the score doesn't tell how close the game was, in fact Acend should have lost Icebox

And the whole team struggles to do as well on stage as they do off-stage, It's obvious that they are a bit of onliners

Looks like it unless Gambit have been hiding strats this entire time

1. Liquid
2. KRU / Fnatic
3. Fnatic / KRU
4. Gambit (the fact that they dropped 3 maps against underdog regions doesn't give me much hope)
5. Cloud9
6. Sentinels
7. Acend
8. Vision Strikers

Bro delz1k is completely unknown to public but what a support player he is

EMEA open qualifier round 1 is harder than Champions group stage

At least he will play

In Valarante pros play a bunch of qualifiers over a short period of time, rest for 2 months while not doing anything except scrims, repeat

Dude gave 5/16 to South America 💀💀💀

Currently they have 4/16 and it's clearly too many, only KRU are good

And you didn't even realize that EMEA will get max 4 slots again, despite us being the best region by far

No tournaments other than VCT + even VCT has dogshit single elimination system + one Challengers series + all matches starting from groups have to be played in a fucking arena

Look at top Korean teams and how "many" matches they played in this season, it's a joke

Riot Korea killed Korean valorant

Both better than Secret based on what I've seen in matches

In fact Secret are very lucky to be in playoffs, they are worse than Envy, Sentinels, Vision Strikers and maybe even Furia

All the dudes who said SEA was one of the worst regions lmfaooo

X10 are actually the best team in SEA
Their aim is so good wtf

5 different teams
7 different opportunities
3 wins - 2 times against japan, 1 time against sea
14 losses

Very cool statistics about region which received 2 slots for Masters and 3 for Champions

I hope one of them goes to Turkey or something

Lmfao look at Nuturn LCQ results

That just shows how weaker Valorant esports was 6 months ago, if a team like Nuturn was the best in Korea

Also like I said, there were only 5 good teams in the event, 2 EMEA 2 NA 1 KR, currently there are 8+ good teams in events

Fnatic won Major in 2013
G2 are runner-ups of Stockholm in 2021

Using your logic, that Fnatic would win this G2

But in fact, if these 2 teams faced each other in a match right now, it would be G2 win 16-3 16-2

How did KR downgrade may I ask

Do you really think Iceland Nuturn with 2 washed boomers (solo, peri) and a shit jett player (allow) was better than current Vision Strikers with 5(6) cracked aimers?

NA also didn't downgrade, in fact no region became worse it's just that EMEA / KRU / SEA started to play much better Valorant

Of course Nuturn got 3rd place back then, but it was easier because there were only 5 good teams in the event, rest were dogshit

I'm not gonna lie, Gambit have the best coin at this tourney

Easiest group, easiest quarters 2nd seed, cuz surely KRU / VS would be much harder than this NV

Hope they don't fuck up

2nd best Latam team lost to Furia 13-2 13-5 13-6 in the most important game of their lives

Ofc Latam deserves 2 slots next VCT, but if we compare depth, SEA and Brazil >>>>>

Envy didn't look good
And maybe if VK kept their momentum going they could have won and lock in 1st seed

Last time VK and NV met it was a very close game, VK only got better since then and NV downgraded without Mikes with Chet

KRU revenge tour
Liquid - fail
NA - success
Fnatic - ...

Imagine what VK feels right now
Semifinal spot has never been so easy to claim

Very sad for Vision Strikers, they always have THE WORST POSSIBLE DRAW, be it in groups or in playoffs

6 - 6

NA:
SEN - FNC x2
V1 - TL
100T - GMB
100T - ACE
SEN - G2

EMEA:
FNC - V1
G2 - SEN
GMB - NV
This tourney - 3 already

If Acend - VK match was in hotel, not in venue, Acend would have won easily

Acend players never said anything bad about your region
In fact starxo danced only because VK players were also trolling / haunting a lot

You know it's funny that crashies and yay before the game were like "Brazil guys we will knock Acend out just for you, please like follow retweet"

Pretty sure Reykjavik was the first and the last international victory for NA in this game
Unless they start massively importing talents from EMEA / KR lmao

Off-stage Acend is just built different
When they don't feel pressure coming from opponents team, they are unstoppable

You haven't seen them lmao
They were shouting and swearing directly to Acend players
BR act like victims but in fact they are attackers

One thing I don't understand is why VK players were screaming and shit in a rematch, as if Acend forced 7-0 advantage and it wasn't Riot decision

These idiots v1xen, heat, mwzera only worsened the situation, so BR fans started to hate Acend even more

They really don't give a fuck about other people

Group A is death because there are 3 teams who should be in playoffs

KRU and Furia are not that good, look at KRU - Liquid result

I just wanna know how these KRU guys were one of the biggest scrimteams (many pros said it)

There were rumors of them beating Gambit, VS, Liquid... Their aim (except keznit) looks so bad in officials...

Northeption was 2nd best team at LCQ, having performed better than all 3 KR teams

Lots of tier1 KR talent is already going to Japan for bigger salaries (allow, hate, suggest, many more to come)

Apart from Vision Strikers, Japan can and will be competitive against Korea

It's funny that Medusa is by far best CR player yet he sits on the bench most of the time
But iron players ade, Fisker, neth are in the main roster

VK players were shouting to Acend the entire fucking game, today and 2 days ago dumbass
VK players are allowed to shittalk but starxo can't?

They're dumb
These VK players were screaming lots of shit in portuguese to Acend players, in that game and today's game
Why can't starxo and others trashtalk them back

People don't realize BR players are even more toxic than starxo

Riot wouldn't make a rematch, because the number of Acend fans crying would be 100x less than the number of Brazilian fans saying Acend should have an instant loss

Entire BR valo community loves Vivo Keyd - EU valo community prefers Fnatic and Liquid because they are more popular, nobody cares that much about Acend

Also EU has had enough wins in this game internationally, while for BR it's something special, it would be their first vs NA / EMEA

Sometimes fanbase decides, which is a bit sad

Not possible unless both SEN and VKS win their quarterfinals

Because they are 2nd seeds, and 2nd seeds will play 1st seeds (Liquid, Gambit, Fnatic +1)

1. Liquid
2. Sentinels
3. Fnatic
4. Gambit
5. Vision Strikers
6. Envy
7. Keyd Stars
8. Acend
9. Vikings
10. Cloud9
11. Furia
12. X10, KRU, Secret, Full Sense (didn't see enough of these teams)
13. Crazy Raccoon

Well to be honest Liquid are community favourites to win it all, and Sentinels were 5 rounds away...

I expected Sentinels to play much worse, they actually improved a lot with Rawkus

And that with zombs being zombs lmao

Nats was actually the one who didn't perform at all today
