Yeah let's send this embarassment to rep our region alongside Gambit and LCQ winner hahaha

Doesn't mean they can compete now, couldn't win Giants rofl
Btw Iceland level of play was 100x worse than Berlin level of play, the teams have improved so much

SMB need top-2 to go to Champions, which is impossible cuz NA / KR are just better.

Would you rather have Acend or weak Fnatic at the best tournament of the year? Because SMB is going to last chance regardless lmao.

Agreed, India should have gotten 4 slots instead of EMEA, at least we could watch some skrossi playz

Gambit > Envy by the way
100T > EMEA though

Who gives a fuck we smash Havan and qualify for Champions
Don't even care that much about Berlin anymore, just hoping we don't get VS in quarters, NV / SEN look significantly weaker than korean overlords

Acend, Gambit EMEA circuit (Acend just win SMB pls)
Secret SEA circuit
Vikings, Vivo Keyd BR circuit
Crazy Raccoon JP circuit

NA win Berlin, 100T, Envy both go with Sentinels

You want garbage Fnatic at Champions?
If Acend don't make playoffs and SMB / G2 don't make top-2 then Fnatic is going there lmfao.

5 points diff lmao

"Acend are playing super super bad"
Trust me better than Envy on Icebox today

If so then all Berlin teams other than VS are playing CS with superpowers
No cap

If you watched their match against PRX you would understand VS didn't play to their full potential like they do right now

Acend please I beg you win this match, I don't want to see tier2 Fnatic represent EMEA at Champions

Farmed 350 points from playing Nuturn / Version1, lost to fucking Tenstar and almost lost to Saw, having this team at final Worlds would be the biggest joke in esports

Bro all good we win Havan in lowers, qualify to Champions by circuit points (Gambit is already above Fnatic btw), and then maybe make a good Berlin run, although we might get a hard opponent 1st round

Champions will be the main event of the year and Gambit will be there :)

What's funny is that all these people who respond in this thread would probably praise Gambit if we won

Classic vlr shitposter be like, betray when a team loses, become a fan when a team wins

Counter jinx for safety

Imagine thinking a team which barely won Japan is gonna pass Vivo Keyd hahahaha

Panda buff

You were shitting on Gambit just like 30 minutes ago and now you wear their flair

Saving aim for Masters Berlin

Stop please both Gambit and 100T will get into top-4 quote me on this post (unless bracket fucks up)

This game feels much better than previous shitshows (including G2 - SEN) both teams are playing super slow and methodical and I love it no matter how it ends

It's not like Japan earned their slots, it was given to them directly just because of playerbase / viewership statistics
The only teams which earned slots for their regions are Gambit (CIS) and SMB (Turkey)

I'd say the level of play in Acend - SMB game was like 100x better than in this show...

Poor JP fans
It's like sending 2 lambs to the slaughter house

If you don't know anything about the teams don't make these dumb predictions please and thank you.

Gambit always permabans Haven, they didn't ban it vs Acend / SMB because they weren't allowed to (Bo5 games and only those who came from uppers banned 1 map each).

Gambit is not that good on Breeze either, so when they have a chance to ban it after Haven they never leave it in the pool.

Envy > VK > SMB >>>>>> G2 imo
Don't know about other NA / EMEA teams

I'm now convinced Group D is the real easiest group (in terms of getting top-2)
Neither G2 nor F4Q are stronger than VK or Envy

Dude Munchkin is living his dream life right now
Farming free Japanese slots, attending every LAN event possible, and CR is probably going to Champions unless Zeta pull out something incredible and not only make it out of their group, but also get into top-4

No they didn't? zepher and rion were even bigger bots, plus CR is playing meta right now unlike what they did at Iceland, CR has gotten much better but so did other regions

SEN vs G2 was an opener in D because SEN is Pool 1 and G2 is Pool 4, it wasn't picked manually...
Same logic here, Gambit Pool 1 CR Pool 4.

#2 guy means that Japan shouldn't have gotten 2 slots in the first place

I agree Crazy Raccoon are throwing Berlin right now to reveal their 200iq mastermind strats and point-and-click aim at Champions in December
Otherwise they would just 13-5 everybody

EMEA - 6
NA - 5
KR - 2
SEA - 1
BR - 1
LATAM - 1
I'm not saying it's right just pointing out the level of regions lmfao

That's true, unfortunately both JP teams at Berlin are about as good as Cream Real Betis or Queso (who?), it will take years for JP #1 seed to beat EMEA #4 or NA #3, maybe it won't ever happen

It's weird because I swear it was 3.5-4.5k in Liquid / G2 / Acend / SMB matches

Maybe people just know that CR is a weak team and don't want to watch boring stomps

Being out of the tournament after playing 2 games is the fate for most minor region teams, until they finally get good... Neth should be happy that he gets such a great opportunity to farm ez Japanese slots and participate in every single LAN event.

Crazy Raccoon will also most likely go to Champions so there's nothing to be sad about.

d3ffo LAN god compensating for his poor online performance

G2 fan be like "SMB are trash because they lost to Acend" while his team is chilling in the easiest fucking group with streamers in it

What you call "Turkey" did put up a decent fight against the best team in EMEA region (Acend).

G2 won yesterday, but it doesn't mean they are better than SMB right? Just got easier opponent aka streamer team.

Imagine if VS don't make it out of their group, then Nuturn will go to Champs by points and Lakia will probably regret abandoning his team xD

Lmfao bunch of morons visiting this site, how dumb people must be to think CR / Zeta / PRX / Bren are any better than Brazil teams, at least BR have good aiming skills, same can't be said about these tier5 asian regions, which are going to quit every tournament as last places in their groups

Quick reminder:
https://www.vlr.gg/19081/x10-esports-vs-crazy-raccoon-valorant-champions-tour-stage-2-masters-reykjavik-main-event-lr1 (SEA won Japan)
https://www.vlr.gg/19074/team-vikings-vs-x10-esports-valorant-champions-tour-stage-2-masters-reykjavik-main-event-ubqf (Brazil won SEA)

I think EMEA should have like 6 (assuming it's 24-team Masters next season)
Otherwise 4 per 16 is fine, you can see that our last seed (G2) is not doing as good as they were supposed to do

I think BR deserves 2 slots more than SEA / Japan do but whatever

Open mwzera church

Bruh I swear people are acting like SMB are worse than most other teams in Berlin, while in fact they are definitely top-8 or even above
Just unlucky group for them, Acend is the true top-1 EMEA (won Gambit when it mattered the most) and Vision Strikers are scary as well

Best in EMEA on Icebox too, won Gambit there in a match that mattered
No way Acend lose this Bo3

I don't know, I thought SMB would be allowed to pick 1 more map due to them being a higher seed (they are from Pool 2 while Acend are from Pool 3)
But it seems like Acend picked 3rd map (Icebox) which is hella weird, why they were even allowed to do it

Huge TI prize pools only ruined Dota
Pros stopped caring about regular majors and now full focus just on this one big tournament, the difference in money is really insane

I remember what happened in 2019 season, OG literally skipped first 3 majors because their players were on vacations, then OG attended the last 2 majors, got 5th-6th placement / 7th-8th placement and somehow it was still enough to get into TI by circuit points
Garbage system
