i mean, they always go on about random shit before the matches or in between maps that cause the games to go on later than they should. imo, they should go over all the analytical stuff in the preshow, start showing maps a few mins before start time, and agent select at start time. for some regions, like APAC, the schedule is very harsh for them and these delays make it much worse.

no, before each day, they give the set start times. that's what i base it off of.

Day 2 time wasted - 68 minutes.

17 minute difference :D

VLR does it based off what riot does.

after each match ended, VLR gave an estimated start time for the next match and i went off of that.

Day 1 Time wasted - 32 minutes

It ain't over till it over. OpTic will come back.

he went -16 in this game.

guild barely beat optic with yay and victor shitting the bed.

Actually great. Today's games have proven that superstition and patterns will continue to happen.

For example, OpTic hasn't taken a map off a European team, and KRU never loses to Brazil.

If these sort of patterns continue, then OpTic will win this event. OpTic are known to start off slow in their opening matches. (Loss to XIA, close first map to X10 in champs, close match to VK in M3 berlin)

OpTic has done well after their first loss or close match (other than champs)

Therefore, OpTic will do well in Copenhagen, if not, win.

nah optic bounce back and win the tourney

ALWAYS MANAGE TO LOSE TO KRU OMEGALUL

ZOMBS WAS RIGHT

stop overrating korea PLEASE! they're a one team region.

come back to this thread at the end of the event. you'll see why.

when the 1st map starts

will do

Most regions other than NA start fairly on time, but they'll see how late NA production starts the game once again! :D

ok ty

what + how

That too

Tbf, Guard did so well because of the bootcamp they did at the COL facility. However, they will be playing at home for LCQ while SEN will be bootcamping.

Guard are changing their roles and in the mickey mouse tourney they played in, it looked evident that they are very uncomfortable on their roles. They also have less then a month to get used to their new roles, comps, and make new strats.

In the meantime, SEN have made the crucial roster move in picking up a storied veteran that can spread some wisdom in the team. Everyone on the team is motivated to grind and win LCQ.

i like the timings. it’s around 11 am est start times throughout the afternoons.

You steppin' or what?

who even are you LMAO

surely it's a bait right? no way shroud can come back and dominate

i hope so

sen are going to play the guard in the opening match of LCQ

When will pearl be in competitive?

it's been shown through these events that these guys have pretty poor mentals. if they fix it up, it will show their potential.

0/8

they’re practicing for LCQ.

I just feel trexx, sayf and leo is the best trio in valorant atm

this makes no sense when yay, marved, and victor exist

all we know is that it was mental health related/family emergency. hope he gets better

this thread isn't about favorites, it's about how overrated this team is.

They lost to Navi
Beat an out of form M3C
Beat a Liquid that are regaining their footing (2-1)
Beat BBL
Beat BIG (2-1)

they had an easier group which they didn't even stomp.

was looking through this and a lot of people were saying that guild should be rated higher than leviatan and some of the APAC teams.

Not sure why people are so high up on this team. Their chances of making it out of groups are next to impossible, they get flattened by the other top teams in EMEA, (mind you they went 1-2 in playoffs and still qualified for masters) and most of their players have no LAN experience.

Curious to see why some people this team is better than bottom 3 in the tournament.

edit: well shit.

do you not remember when wyatt said vision strikers were top 3 and nuturn were top 10 in the world?

well she got one

here's some copium for when LOUD don't win.

i'm just pointing out times where it was obvious that shaz was getting good reads and making good calls.

i can see that. like if Shopify doesnt get a spot, they could pick up bdog.

dog ran over the keyboard mb

i haven’t seen any of this recently

if you take a closer look at the games instead of watching tenz kill everyone, you’ll see it. one game he was stellar in terms of his reads was when they played against optic in stage one. in stage 2, his calls were great against faze.

you're telling me that 100t won't get a franchise spot? if one of 100T, SEN, or TSM don't get a spot then the community will explode.

imma say it.
