If they do it won't be the same SEN years ago :( that was so epic not dropping a single map. They got lucky with that team flash from mistic though but they were as Doug said "the crown jewels of north america"

Manila

Highly unlikely that any NA T1 org will pick him up. Is there a reason to? The current problem with the NA orgs is not an initiator but rather a decent IGL.

Watchdogs 2

Oxy will have better chances to reach tier 1 than Shahzam and the rest of the new G2 roster. Can't say much for a team that went 0-7 in challengers

Any team except EG cause they're evil lol. But I'm a PRX fan since Copenhagen so definitely cheering for PRX first. The win was always close to them so no surprise if they actually take it this time.

The roster that won the trophy does not exist anymore. You're stuck in a dream

Who do you think you're referring to?

DRX doesn’t have a demon1 with them and still attempt a lot of 1v1s against EG. Why isn’t Foxy9 playing. It’s gonna be hard for DRX moving forward if they don’t have an insane duelist like Aspas, Derke, Demon1, Jawgemo, Something, Jinggg

Nah, it's okay let Minion1 and Loostio talk their sh*t while they can. All of the trashtalkers in Valorant had their time like Sentinels and look where they are now. These things come and go for entertainment.

Yes yes as if PRX don't think through their game plan when choosing Agent lineups.

True, that meme will be on him until the next intentional event

I agree it's a team diff at the end of the day but I guess the most important potentially impactful rounds I noticed were on these victor and crashies. S0m consistently doing his job but not too much impact based on the replay

True, he sent the team home early for dinner

Just watched the blg vs nrg match. Sad to see these 2 giving their all and the team just couldn't even take a map. Botdis missing so many shots prolly should've saved the banter till they won no?

They have but Sayaplayer is more comfortable on jett :3

T1 can't win if they play too passively against FUT who's aim heavy. Show em you mean business

Those defuses were so free for FUT absolutely painful to look at on the side of t1

I'm so dismayed that I chose T1 for my pickem's T_T. Three rounds in and I can see they're losing because of how they play

It's more like there are a lot of good players but they are in wrong teams. Just look at FNC, how many iterations and roster changes happened before they arrived at the current one. Riot should just prevent buyouts from being so large so that teams will have an easier time getting the right players on their team.

That'd be unfair to the team who won and the region they belong to. Better yet just guarantee that the masters winners just get placed in playoffs since they deserve it and just allow more teams to participate in groups

Honestly TS could've done better than TL

Chronicle's point about the 1 team region is the right one. Every region has their own best team now that is just leagues above the others except Americas and APAC since they merged previously split regions (Loud BR to Americas and DRX KR to APAC)

APAC - PRX and DRX
Americas - EG, LOUD (maybe NRG in playoffs)
EMEA - FNC (currently no team comes close maybe GIA) especially obvious in champions Liquid and NAVI now out and only FUT remains in groups (as of writing)

**edit: GIA is still in groups

You know who's closer to the airport? NAVI

I see thanks

I asked because I'd just want a fair game

Their earphones are noise cancelling no? That should be made sure by riot

5head

Hard to blame people though. Nukkye is not much of an entertainer but I watch his streams and he's solid.

Mini almost considered Cloud for the FNC roster and with good recommendation so that alone speaks for itself that he's a good player

Literal "What the dog doing"

GIA fans are old G2 roster fans I think. Nukkye, Rhyme, Hoody were frrom G2

Well, hate to break it to you, FNC also use Odin and Judge as well. If there's anything to blame, blame the map design. Do you think they gonna use Odin and Judge on a long range map like Breeze. They were willing to play it smart and use whatever they can make use of to win the game.

Alright then pardon me Vitality is a special case. Let's move on

I didn't dog a team, he asked a question and I asked a question back. If that's the reason why his team didn't make any event then my condolences.

ggs not the end for KRU

Good luck to KRU, definitely not the end for them.

I'm here KRU bootlicker

Can't really tell what's the point of commenting that here lol as if Americas generating drama isn't a fact but I'll answer sure none yet but where's Vitality's? I'd love for Vitality to come to any masters event or champions event sometime or some year. If they can otherwise just continue riding on FNC this year.

I prefer humble and entertaining players like boaster, a little bit of banter here and there, maybe some stunts and dances. But if there's ever gonna be another Dapr and Zombs type of trashtalkers then let them talk their sh*t as long as they still have their fangs cause SEN enjoyed theirs while it lasted.

Let's TP my kittens

If blind shooting in the smoke of a potential hold angle is what makes a player GOAT then sure

Yes sure maybe vitality can come to a masters event or champions sometime. Enjoy being carried by and riding on FNC this year.

Buddy, he's talking about the Americas region (not the country) as in North America/NA, LATAM, and Brazil. I definitely appreciate the game developers in the US.

Americas is very good........ at making a lot of drama and trashtalk. Makes the game entertaining.

One thing I can definitely guarantee that Americas is good or even the best at.... Drama

Alfajer, the man of the people. No wonder FNC just keeps on winning and winning while entertaining the crowd. Meanwhile EG trying to be a prime SEN wannabe with no masters trophy and no 2-0 only series. Only 1 Good Fracture map

They can tbag all they want so when they get sh*t on, it will be more hilarious.

Complain about it if every team can do it, the fact is PRX is the only team that can pull that off.

Cry is free don't worry if Ascendant 1 players actually destroy your NA teams then you would be a lot more of a laughing stock
