I think 2 map bans itself are already enough of a huge advantage for Upper Final team at GF.

So the past 3 Internationals - Masters Toronto 2025, Champions Paris 2025, Masters Santiago 2026 - was won consecutively by the Upper Final winning teams. (PRX, NRG, NS)
The advantages are first 2 bans + 1st map pick at Grand Finals.

Why not just make it first 2 bans only, and let the team coming from Lower Final get 1st map pick instead.

Ngl I was expecting a PRX dynasty but I completely forgot, PRX is not a reliable team.

NS domination was so big PRX made it boring to watch.

Knows ball.

If Brawk doesn't perform, NRG isn't as strong. That's what I noticed about this NRG team.

Who are the best Top 5 Teams of all time that Trades extremely well?

1. NS
2. PRX

Ivy was so good on all 3 maps.. He's now one of my favorite players.

No matter what anyone thinks or says, he's a bot that broke down mentally. 1-17 is quite severe. No team wants a professional player to break down like that especially at a Master's grand finals.

Something needs to retire. Or join a different team. His mental is too weak and literally broke down, it can and will happen on PRX again.

And Something became a 1-17 broken BOT.

A huge mental issue. Especially from a fragging duelist, not even an IGL so there's no excuses. Worse than FNS.
A "top player" in the world going 1-17 in the Grand Finals????
Even a Diamond player can go 2-17 against pros.

PRX's biggest weakness for future matches = destroy Something's mental, easy win.

NS destroyed PRX.

Rob Moore old ass trying to fit in with the community is the failure of SEN. So funny.

New Titans of Valorant. Insane shooters individually.
Bright future ahead of them.

His mental is that weak?

Mako next.

I only think it matters if teams win Masters back to back from Masters 1 to Masters 2.

Winning Masters 2, then losing Champions, then winning Masters 1 the next year don't seem like a crazy "Ohhh they won back to back Masters..."

PRX won Toronto 2025 but got whooped right after at 2025 Champions.. so Back To Back Masters should just be winning both Masters 1 and Masters 2.

Honestly not hard to counter a 1 trick Neon on almost every map. NS only wins if Francis and Ivy performs.

Only way NS wins PRX is if NS wins Split. Otherwise, gg.

ITS GG

Any believers?

3-0? 3-1? 3-2?

PRX is looking very strong and also with the most experience, but does NONGSHIM REDFORCE have a chance?

Nah Forsaken or Davai or Dambi.

Facts.

If you have both, that's the best.

Marteen best Yoru shooter. Francis better Yoru team player. Something best Yoru op.

SEN fans are dead.

G2 choked and played like pussies, again.

1st Match Series: PRX Invy top Rating
2nd Match Series: NRG Skuba top Rating

Who do you guys got carrying the team for 3rd Match Series Bo5?

I bet on either PRX Something or NRG Keiko. Whoever performs better leads the team to victory.

Get ready to NVM again.

G2 could've won Bind but the fact that they fear PRX in general is why they lost the series.

Firepower slightly better than JonahP makes no difference at a high level competitive playoffs.

Anyone who says Buzz over T3xture is braindead. Like fr. Dambi is next in line.

Dambi = Neon
Brawk = Odin
Yay = Chamber
Aspas = Jett Op
Nats = Cypher
Demon1 = Fracture Brimstone
Ethan = Ascent KayO
Jingg = Raze
G2 = Choke Internationals
Zellsis = SEN bundle
S0m = Harbor

Resume the list if you got any . . .

Verno clears Trent. Valyn just needs to depart from JoshRT or vice versa.

Who's you? Eternal Fire? I just like the name.

Mada plays good, NRG does well. Mada plays like Tier 2, NRG bound to lose unless Skuba or Brawk hard carries.

Its okay. 100T more fun and exciting to watch now compared to G2 who does the same old boring history repeat type shit every year.

Regionals doesn't matter. FURia AG and BBL won, and so what? No one cares.

Name me 1 Real and True Fan of G2 on VLR. (Don't mention JonahPork he already swapped over to QoR)

Yep. Trent and Jawgemo don't tango. Jawgemo needs an Ethan.

Choke common denominators trio = JoshRT, Valyn, Trent

He's a great player don't get me wrong, but when G2 goes Internationals Valyn and Trent just don't show up when it matters.

Persia was great... but seems like it's Rb's time to finally shine.

Top 5 player my ass. If he truly was Top 5 he would've made an impact. Maybe if he played more Sova, but too bad JoshRT dumb as fuck.

Corrode was so bad bro moved to QoR. I'm fucking dead.

Trent should be dropped.

Just came into Tier 1 about 2 months ago and is about to win a trophy before 90% veteran VCT players who tried for multiple years and failed miserably. Lmao.
