I can't believe Navi weren't invited / didn't buy a spot, top-12 EMEA team and it's just facts

CIS being mistreated once again?

I'm curious what Boaster did to be regarded as the best IGL in EMEA
His team couldn't even make Regional Finals this time and disappeared as soon as Valorant scene became stronger

Redgar >>>>
koldamenta >>>>

yay is right, consistency isn't rewarded at all
Fnatic be like = fluke 1 tournament and it's already enough for Champions
FPX present in all Stages of VCT but they didn't even get to be in LCQ

Galatasaray looks like best wildcard this year, I hope they will make a good run
EDG / FPX gonna take it all anyway

The Talented Mr. Ripley

CIS valorant scene not stonks, 2-3k viewers avg all the time, peaking at 5-6k during Gambit games because it's the only world class team we have

Plus EMEA is a very stacked region with only 4 slots for LAN, it's almost impossible to make it onto the big stage for most teams here, even though we are better than Japan / Brazil and we deserve it more than their 2nd seeds do

Also forZe have nothing to play till the start of the next season

OCE team Renegades got into semifinals at Starladder Berlin 2019 Major
What did Japan do in FPS games to be treated like this?

"The best team in the world, undisputed. Time to prove it" why would you have to prove anything if you are undisputed gods of Valorant anyway

No wonder he got fired for these kind of tweets which make the team look like villains

The whole Gambit squad helps nAts activate his flanks and do flashy plays

But still because of guys like you, nAts gets all the attention for his highlights, his teammates remain in the shadow, while in fact every Gambit player is a beast at his role, all 5 of them

Stopped reading at "Nats and friends"

Istg Sick is so overrated
Like imagine picking him over sheydos or stax

And that's why his team couldn't adapt to better Stage 3 gameplay from other EMEA teams, Fnatic qualified to Champions just because of lucky circumstances

Redgar is the best IGL EMEA has and it's not close

Gambit but -d3ffo +yayster

There were just 5 teams from major regions (NA, EMEA, KR) at Reykjavik
There were 9 teams from major regions (NA, EMEA, KR) at Berlin

It was way easier for Fnatic to get 2nd place back then, because there wasn't as much competition coming from strong regions

G2 were absent at Stage 2 (not even EMEA Finals), got 3rd-4th at Stage 3
Fnatic were absent at Stage 3 (not even EMEA Finals), got 2nd at Stage 2

Hmmm who deserves Champions more? Those who were good 4 months ago or those who are good now? Hmmmmm...

Reykjavik was a shit tier tournament, I was watching games and asking myself "what are these teams doing? Are they dumb?"

Current G2 or Envy would thrash those Sentinels and Fnatic, let alone Gambit and Vision Strikers. More relevant events should give much more points.

Bro if Riot had above 80 IQ they would give G2 more points for 3rd-4th at Berlin than just 325.

It's funny how Fnatic BARELY find success in every esport this year - reverse swept 3-2 TNC Predator to qualify for TI, won 3 mega close 3-2 games in LEC lower bracket to qualify for Worlds, now this shit with Champions. I will laugh if they somehow go to PGL Major as well.

-Zeta +Crazy Raccoon (getting humiliated by Brazil - going close vs Gambit, the answer is obvious)
+Paper Rex (great fight against SMB, SEA surprised me at this tournament)
-Fnatic -Oxygen -Navi +Giants (first 3 are overrated and looked terrible in their most important matches)
+Rise (NA's 5th best team, they deserve a spot for sure)
-Nuturn +TNL (Nuturn was good at Reykjavik just because the competition was lower (Fnatic lol), they are trash now, TNL looked very solid against VS)

This is the tournament where there would be a ton of close matches and minimum stomps

Kappa lowel / niesow / patitek / rubino are already washed and disappeared from the scene

Also this niesow copium is unreal, dude hasn't been playing pro for many many months, and you still believe he can return and magically dominate tier1 like he used to, times have changed bro

Australs top SA LCQ because Sharks / Havan are proven onliners and Gamelanders / Furia are the most braindead teams in the world

Vamos LAS

Brazil and Japan were given too much attention this year, we all know it
I'd rather see Order, Anubis or Global on LAN

Fnatic were the biggest run-n-gun and post-plant abusers the world has ever seen

I still remember how Magnum used to aim - spray randomly in enemy's direction and hope that the bullets land, kinda like FNS now lol

They might get out of groups at Champions if they get a lucky draw, but I don't see them going past quarterfinals with teams like Gambit, Vision Strikers etc

EU_quiet is an alt account of one famous vlr user, who was mentioned above
Find out who he is

Can mods already ban this spammer w/ 4 accounts (kyesen, nikoboy, twistss, rushtzy)
It's literally same person, he creates a thread and comments on it from different accs
I mean I just checked their history lol

All japanese teams except well-known top-3 are garbage, GE will easily roll Reject / Fennel if they meet them

Heck even those top-3 are not that good, but maybe better than GE, you are right

Also imagine judging teams by VLR ranking hahaha, Giants is 3rd in EMEA but in fact they're 6th at best

What is this kind of argument, KR VCT format is ass, it literally changed the future

F4Q participated in Berlin, F4Q will participate in LCQ, while TNL got nothing left for the rest of the season

It could be a completely different story if F4Q & TNL were swapped back then

Look at TNL last match ok?
They are better than F4Q, just got unlucky with semifinals opponent, and there was no lower bracket to grant TNL a 2nd chance

TNL would make Champions 100%, if only they had enough circuit points
They looked quite good against VS ngl, sad to see them rebuilding

Coffee vs gtn match made in heaven

Why not buy Art1st lol who's gonna be Sova OBG???

Neither team has Sova player :/

Also fun fact:
Gambit never lost in overtimes in VCT

He's a Havan Liberty fan

Disrespectful to say that

NAts best north american player

Bro neither were our best teams imagine what Gydom Galva would have done

Agree

In denial and coping

Dude I got downvoted for calling VS a top-2 team and saying VS - GMB was the best match ever lol

NA after Thieves won Gambit: GAMBIT IS EU GAMBIT IS EU

Take off that Gambit flair

He's been insane in the past series + Reita says hello

Maybe because Haven is Gambit permaban and they don't care about it hmmmm

How is it a hot take Reykjavik was a garbage shitshow compared to skill level of current top teams

What choke bro, Envy stopped a 0.00001 defuse + crashies was like 1hp in 2nd OT round

And it was Chronicle too who did that milisecond plant

Where are you?

Idk Haven is basically Envy map, so if they win Bind they will be up 2-0 after 2nd series...
And EVEN IF Gambit are stronger on remaining 3 maps, their mental might fuck them up and they just choke the match away on Split.
Envy winning coin flip defined this series.
