Bait. With that logic, every CSGO tournament is mickey mouse.
Actually, I forgot! We're on vlr... If your team doesn't win, it's automatically mickey mouse tournament. My bad, you're right

I'd rather have PRX win than G2 so go PRX! Unless FNC win ofc

Right... I did not expect them to make top4 ngl
Would be nice if they got that 3rd trophy but I'm highly doubting it

Nah, it's GenG that threw and lost all confidence after facing Wolves. G2 are arguably worse than during KickOff

It's looking like a 4th title win in a row for Asia (upper bracket advantage). Massive W for asia, like damn! Who would've thought that Pacific and CN #3 would be the last ones standing.

G2 are obviously still crazy good and have a chance (choke2) as for FNC, they're doing fine but I'm not seeing the win happening no matter how bad I want it.
Americas and especially EMEA needs to wake tf up

GenG and Wolves casually emoting live

My two teams are doing well but... this tourney so far is quite boring ;/
Bangkok was way more fun so far

I think they did.

canezerra LMAO

Both teams playing like dogsht. First on the flight back home

Losing these kinda thrifty rounds shows the viewers why you won't win anything.
You just don't lose this with an international champion roster

Troll tournament, fk that

It's funny how the first few years, Asia sucked ass and it was all about EMEA v Americas
And now it feels like it's Asia running the show.

I'm not too informed on how this works but if I understood correctly, each #1 team will choose a team to start off against in playoffs.
What dictates which #1 team decides first?

Scripted in a way to get both PRX and BLG (big fanbase) to swiss.
I'd rather TL win but I don't see that happening cuz MEMEA performance

They should really learn that matchmaking matters in such a region based esports scene like valorant. Tf are you putting two Chinese teams against each other for when you've got two non Chinese teams right there.

PRX v TL will be nice but BLG v WOL will suck ass.
A TL v WOL and BLG v PRX would be WAY more entertaining for all parties watching

The only non embarrassing region so far is Pacific. Even SEN and BLG played like absolute sht

GenG > PRX > ok team > ok team > sht > sht > sht > sht

You fill in the blanks the logical way

They suck so hard, holy sht

How sad would it be if TH and TL lost against Mibr and Wolves?
I know that neither TH and TL will win sht this year or make it far but losing against Mibr and Wolves is another level of bad

SEN easily

Wym? GenG is clearly the strongest team in Swiss Stage currently. PRX second strongest.
If there is a team to over hype right now, it's GenG

Please no... Not my two favorite teams against each other

Isn't just SEN. Wait till Mibr, SEN, TL, TH, WOL and BLG play against actually decent teams. They'll get 2-0 destroyed

For real, I don't think anyone's expecting them to win anything at this point.

Cannot compare Karon to rushia

Tbf, they never make it far, BUT they are consistent in their region and are looking good against these sht emea/americas teams
Curious how they'll do in Play-offs

Americas has become MEMEA
1 team region

Damn, forgot Wolves

GenG/PRX > BLG > TH > SEN > TL > Mibr

Downfall? They were never any good

flag+flair

All 3 Pacific teams
G2
FNC

That's it. The rest are cooked (XLG still has to prove themselves but I don't believe)

Only contenders rn imo are Pacific, G2 and FNC

TL, Mibr and BLG exist. So yeah, very possible

But you're Pacific flag+flair. Did you not watch their games?
Loss against RRQ sure, but crazy gameplay since the +Ash swap

I think people said Suggest was terrible. Ash has been performing well since day one and clutched more than once
His debut game was a loss but a good performance by him

Agreed they have been real boring BUT! I expect some BANGERS during PlayOffs!

j0ngg

Just like Loud was Fnatics kryptonite in 2023 imo

So far the only team with potential to win in swiss stage is PRX and GenG. But I expect PRX to choke whereas, if GenG go on a run, they likely won't

Based

Dogsht:
Mibr
Wolves
BLG
TL (unless nAts appears and carries every map)

Small chance but still sht (play better pls, we know you can):
TH
SEN

Solid performers:
GenG
PRX

TH, TL and BLG ain't making it to the top4.
Sloppy, stupid and inconsistent gameplay

Fuck yea, showing us some top tier gameplay! Back to the airport we go

Aspas does, Mibr doesn't

I'm choosing:
MiBR
TL (no nAts, no win)
BLG
Wolves

Do not worry my friend, G2 will undefeated 2-0 their way to the Grand Finals and then choke. It has been scripted that way

PRX either dropping out instantly or going on a run and choking in the grand finals

Chokers v Chokers
I can't wait for either team to win a 1v5 with a knife and no armor while all 5 other members have full buy
