Think it's adding up all the offical streams, and there's a lot, and that includes the watch parties. Youtube alone from what I saw had at least 150K between the streams, and that's probably isn't all the languages.

If National teams were a thing in Valorant. Something like in Overwatch. Who do you feel would be on the team your country and others.

For example my country Canada might be something like this.

Duelist: TenZ
Duelist: Penny
IGL and Support: Steel
Subroza if he can continue to play that Sky/Sage role.
Maybe like an Effys of FNS?

Options for players available are like Wardell, Marved, gMd and MkaeL off the top of my head. Haven't put any real thought into the team obviously, wanted to leave it open to discussion.

Don't really hate anyone really. Or at least they themselves haven't given me a reason to root against them. I just want a good show. Like I would love the Rivalry between 100T and SEN to become something like the Fnatic vs NiP Rivalry in the early CSGO days. Obviously SEN is on top now, but I think it's too early to count 100T out.

Don't panic, it hasn't even been 24 hours. Keep checking in every hour or so and you'll get it. Saw plenty of people online that had it already too.

Got mine. If you manage to get to the part where you put in the code. If it error 505's out, just keep hitting resend, after a bunch of errors it said I already used the code. So one of the 505's at least went through. Checked my account and there it was.

LOL It was not an expected L. Just look back on the posts a week ago. Most of EU fans expected EU to win.

Yup, shot the Sage in the hand (LOL more like finger tip) when she put up the wall. Arms are treated as body, thus 1 hit kill.

Hey, not all of us are American. :P

Ethan washed at 20? Iron take.

Dumb question I know, sorry.

But how do I see the regions points standings? I know this site has it, but I don't know where to go or click on if that makes sense.

Yup, YTILAUD is the code. It works.

Managed to claim mine after a bunch of 505's.

The amount of copium is OD inducing. Take your L and be gracious in defeat.

I thought TenZ was a choker and could never play on LAN? Amazing how your stories change so quickly after just one event. If anything the team in NA I would argue is trying to setup a superteam is 100T with them grabbing Ethan and Nitro. But you're right, NA went and made a super team with a player that hadn't played a professional esport before Valorant.

And I wouldn't be so quick to throw Sinatraa down, if he comes back to competitive scene on whatever team. He will be cracked. He was considered one of if not the best in NA, and consensus best Sova in NA before the scandal.

I know, that's why I said there is a world were they don't even make masters 3, but still go to Champions.

For Champions, the region who wins Masters 3 gets that extra spot. So there is a universe were SEN fail to make Masters 3 for whatever reason, and are still qualified for Berlin on points. Other than points, Master 2 doesnt auto qualify the winner to Champions like Master 3 does.

I think Version 1, 100T, Cloud 9, and Faze in no particular order are the teams with the best chance at getting to Berlin. If C9 gets better like people expect them to, I think they will be a team to beat. Can always have that Version 1 underdog story again with another team, but there's too many to list in that regards.

Absolutely agree. But to be fair, when Tenz got the choker label when he was 18 too, in a completely different game. When you are so young and learning you are bound to have off days. Both players a cracked and have a great future ahead of them.

It was mentioned at their interview when holding the trophy too. Which is good. They deserve to be at Champions, even if for some reason they stumble going into Masters 3 for something out of their control like a substitution, or just some bad luck.

From her body, yes. But Sage was shot in the hand/arm when putting up her wall if you slow the clip down. Arm and hand shots are counted as body shots in the game. Was just very unfortunate timing for the Sage.

So over a year ago? Move on buddy.

Too early to say after one event, but if this becomes the norm absolutely.

Should the best player in the world need excuses like that? This literally just got eliminated yesterday in pathetic fashion.

SEN's Bind looks really good too which they showed today. Definitely not just a gimme for Fnatic. Could go either way.

I think Fnatic has looked better this Tournament. And even as a NA homer, Boaster has won over my heart with his personality. Definitely can go either way. If both Scream and Jampie are hitting their shots, TL win. If it's only one of the two, Fnatic takes it imo.

lol dude you're not helping the stereotype.

Will be interesting to see how she is after the nerf/balancing. From the State of the Agents post. Riot want to make her less oppressive when she's teamed up with agents like viper, kj, etc. It's a tough spot, because at gold/plat level play she is fine, IMO. In fact I run into way more crappy Astra's than good ones. But at the top level with good communication she is just so smothering that it can be impossible to hit sites at times.

Something I was thinking of, is if they nerf her suck a bit, they can maybe buff her ult by making it so certain utility can't go through it, and help retake sites in the post plant molly meta. Her Ult is a 7 point ability, but even pros think it's only useful in limited areas. Making it so a Viper, Sova, Brim can't just throw utility to stop a defuse might give it some better usage.

I think confidence when you play on a team is good. You don't want to go into a game already defeated mentally. You need a strong mental game to be good at the game professionally, even if that is thinking you are good enough to beat teams you really shouldn't have a chance against. Look at what happened to TL against Version 1 on Heaven. Once their mental was done, the match was over, even though TL is obviously a better team than they showed in that map.

GG's Fnatic. Wish V1 could have had more of that story'd run. But was impressed. Was fun to see. OT's were V1's kryptonite. Don't know if that cause of a sub, or if that's something they legit need to be better on even with Whippie in the roaster.

Dude relax, take the L’s in stride. i wanted V1 to win, but it’s all good in the hood :P

Enjoy yourself. These tournaments are meant for fun and enjoyment for viewers. It’s fun to play around with the other regions, but no reason to take it to far. This isn’t directed at just you. Basically everyone on the server that might be getting a bit too caught up in this.

Samsung cyborg

Was a great game. Cheers to both teams. Happy with have another top region potentially in Korea to go along with NA and EU.

I am very happy Korea is showing they’re competitive, was gonna suck if it was just EU vs NA with a sprinkling of BR and CIS for the billionth time. Hope Korea gets a second spot eventually if they keep this up.

This has nothing to do with C9 being dumb or smart. It has to do with when a contract eventually runs out. And since he is on loan from C9, his contract from C9 is still active and will eventually end.

GG Nuturn. Wanted V1 to win but Nuturn wanted it more. Great match.

Has there been any info on how long TenZ's contract with C9 is? Wondering if SEN will just ride out C9's contract with this lone stuff, then just potentially get him when he's a free agent.

Yeah, should both win today. There is some upset potential though. X10 seems to be getting better and better time goes on. Fnatic should be able to get by them without much trouble. But if they have an off day I think X10 can seize that opportunity.

I like Boaster, I like Pati. Hope it's a good match.

The TL vs KRU is hard to say. Which version of both teams show up. I think Team Liquid will bounce back. KRU has been a team that's hard to gauge this tournament. They get rolled by Fnatic, but then genuinely look good against Sharks. Obviously Fnatic is better than Sharks, but the team itself just looked much better and comfortable. Should be a TL 2-0 victory, but wouldn't shock me if something crazy happened.

Version1 vs NUTURN should be a banger. Don't think at the beginning of the tournament people would have guessed 2 of the 3 teams to be in contention for an upper bracket Grand Finals appearance would be Version 1 and NUTURN. If Version1 wins, NA has a guaranteed spot in the Grand Finals.

If only I believe in my NA bros, and not believe the EU hype. I would have perfect pickems.

Like both teams so it's hard to see one out so quick. Japan has a pretty big scene for the game, so a CR would do well for it. Though same can probably be said about X10.

I have X10 in my pickems. Hope it's a banger of a match.

"Munchkin, go kill" LOL I joke, but he was doing that well in his last game.

Lower bracket runs are possible. As any fan of Sentinels will tell you. It's not over yet, and I say that as someone who wants to see NA beat EU.

I mean sure. But 22 kills through two maps and an average damage per round of 91 is not good anyway you look at it when you are playing Phoenix and Sova. It was by far the lowest in the server.

ShahZam looking like he can take the world right now. I love watching Sick play. So I definitely hope it’s just a one off and he finds his way tomorrow.

Anyone a little worried for Sick’s performance? He had one of the worst performances this tournament so far in terms of ACS. Thankfully TenZ and Shazam were able to bring the fire power. But Sick usually is the one to be the 1-2 punch with TenZ. So it was a little weird to see him struggle so much.

Has Sick had much LAN experience? Is this just a one day experience? Your thoughts.

He is well in the bottom half of the tournaments average ACS after two games. Now obviously ACS isn’t everything, but by no means is he doing amazing or good enough to consider getting rid of Whippie who was one of their best players before this.

I would assume by saying we take L’s all the time would come across as humble... like I agree to be humble, but it’s fun to trash talk a bit.

Why didn’t I believe in my NA Bois. I feel ashamed for not believing in my people. And my pickems took the fall when it should be me. /s

EU can you take an L once and just accept it. We NA fans take L’s all the time, you get one and it’s all excuses. Just accept you got beat.

Yup

I will gladly sacrifice my pickems for the V1 win.
