wdym? if we declared war on an EU country like ukraine? or like if we say started a war with mexico?

yeah starxo played servicable at worst and good at best, the other 2 though

tiers aren't ranked, you are just "s tier." not saying 1 is better than the other

my day's been good so far :D i'm still down like 130 rr from yesterday but its fine
hbu

i think RRQ might be better than DRX honestly, obviously the TS games don't show it, but the 2 series don't even share a map in common. I think TS under-prepped for DRX (compared to how they prepped for RRQ)

you can't call something fradulent because europeans couldn't make it because of something Europe started.

ggs

yeah aspas' name carrys such a heavy weight it got called that, the next team aspas goes to unless its back to LOUD will also be called a superteam

or those 4 teams are all within 2 rounds of each other lol

its not cross-comparing regions, so liquid is only B because EMEA has 6 good teams and 5 meh-bad ones

just go to this and then check by region https://www.vlr.gg/vct-2024

HI TRYEUE1

no ur not crazy its pretty reasonable, im high on RRQ but if you aren't high on RRQ thinking there's a gap noticable gap between DRX and the next team below them is fine

so the #5 team(and #4 at madrid) in the world is A tier lmaooo
(also the regions aren't cross-comparable, A b in EMEA might be a C in americas(etc) )

#8, #5 please read the threads bruh

oh fuck
RRQ A

regions aren't cross compared. I don't think any of the S tier teams in EMEA would be S tier in PAC or NA

im just gonna wait and see, regions aren't cross-compared here

nah EG look like they need a lot of prep like they had vs LOUD and G2 to even get a map
im gonna be conservative on KRU and C9 because they are KRU and C9

yeah there are plenty of role conflicts here lmao.
only 1 person who can play viper/senti when you should be playing both on lotus, icebox, kinda breeze, etc

bro died

HI CONUT

i'd literally rather have 2022 LOUD champions with Tenz/mako/tuyz > pancada

Americas | | EMEA | Pacific
S: NRG, SEN, LOUD | TH, KC, Navi | PRX, GenG
A: 100T | FNC, Vit, FUT | DRX
B: C9, Mibr, G2, Kru, Lev | Liquid | T1, Talon, DFM
C: EG, Furia |M8,Koi,GiantX | Bleed, Zeta, Team Secret
D: | BBL | Global

VIRUS VIRUS VIRUS

whats ur week 2 again? also yeah our china pickems were identical

i missed TS DRX (granted i did submit my preds before knowing flashback wasn't playing, so i might've switched it if i looked into beyn more)

sounds like copium
also which PAC game besides DFM did u get wrong

NA: 10
EMEA: 20
China: 20
PAC: 30

bro i just laughed at it, i wasn't gonna say anything else until someone else asked.

womp womp

i mean it matters if the #1 team goes straight to playoffs

"not against tos"
"allowed"

"legal" LMAO

streamers as a whole definitely aren't overusing it lol, now valorant specifically i can't say

wasn't that a joke tweet?

they just beat an EG that looked substantially worse, we have not seen MIBR play so i have no reason not to give them the benefit of the doubt

100T won their offseason events in 2023 why didn't they win lock\in?

LOUD only lost to optic and kru that whole year while Optic lost to rise, EG, LOUD, Guild, FPX, paper rex, Xset, xerxia, V1, and TGRD.

mibr looked substantially better than G2 at kickoff, there is no justification to put any of KRU, EG, G2, or Furia above them until we see them play. I am going to expect similar improvement to all those teams listed, and if thats the case they would be 7th

ah yes offseason results matter

no less LMFAOOOOO

nah tenz is the first super star from like the 30s or whenever that was

where tf u getting 0-5 from they have played 3 VCT matches?

the list makes sense, just i have fundamental issues with where 100T and G2 are (in the same way i have fundamental issues with a lot of political takes, that doesn't make them wrong, they are just different POV's)
for 100T people either:
A: until 100T have won a game they can't be ranked highly/ they look very lost (when outside their first VCT match as a team they've only played SEN)
B: (my take) until their team loses to a team that isn't SEN (once again outside their first VCT match as a team) i trust them and boostio
same thing with G2:
A: G2 just needed to remove net! they are so good now!
B: (my take): Until they beat a team that isn't considered a bottom 2 league at the time (KRU were bottom 2 with mta, EG are bottom 2 rn, and the last 2 maps of the SEN game literally didn't matter) we can't consider them high ranked

we have literally nothing else to go off besides Lev beating 100T because C9 changed rosters so this is purely opinionated

its kinda hard to do in pacific bc 2 games a week but there's enough time in between games in other regions for teams to do it when there isn't a match in the next 2 or previous 2 days

im perfectly comfortable moving G2 above KRU (i've liked heat since 2021 when the incident happened so ima favor him) and LEV under C9. mibr looked better than G2 at kickoff so unless some dire thing happened to them i don't feel comfortable moving them under G2

ok my game ended so i can actually explain this.
you can think "C9 upsetting LEv would be an upset" and "Lev is better than C9" and vice versa both before and after the match.
you thought c9 beating lev was an upset BEFORE the match happened, but after seeing the match think C9 is just beter
this person thinks AFTER the match that C9 beating lev was the upset, and that lev is still the better team

holy fucking shit you actually have 2 braincells
