Extremely common Travis Mendoza W

Nah it's pretty much 'if tenz performs sen win'
When he has a bad game things fall apart

Let me remind you in case you all might have forgotten, PRX Jingg in that one game had all Roza ults with getting no kill or only 1-2 kills in the entire game, yet had a brilliant play.
It takes time.

Yess. That's what makes me scared tho (been a smeaging fan since long) Faze so far has been the Babybay - Dicey show. But let's see how the matches unfold.
Good matches.

Saya is actually dirty. Even when they went for Masters although he wasn't in his element and couldn't set up the way he's comfortable (as shown in the guard's vlog about Reykjavik) the guy has CONSISTENTLY dropped insane kills and clutched unwinnable rounds.
Derrek, him, Sinatraa, Patiphan.
Man these Overwatch players are actually dirty
Also, don't disregard other guard players, probably the rust, 100T have been practicing a lot so you never know.
Regardless, 100T W rebuilding

Their executes are near perfection. Ggs

Ikrrr lmao

Fr, sgares one of the best csgo talents from NA
W pickup from 100T

I do believe that could be the right thing as well. Do what 100T did, they built around Asuna and Bang.
Sen rn is what, tier 2? Tier 3?

Shahzam has been the only pro to speak about anything happening with Sen. Kyedae dropped hints that things are very bad behind the scenes.
TenZ doing aggressive prod plays in a way that perhaps shows he's not really interested?
Same goes for SicK, he's a Fantastic guy but I think he again is not really motivated enough especially now and it is kinda visible.
Someone as talkative as dapr has been quiet, so it's really weird
Not even a Sen supporter but man Do i feel bad for TenZ and SicK

Precisely, sadly you, are wrong now.

Don't disregard penny like that man, he's been sitting on the shelf of being the most underrated tier 1 Jett in Valo :(

Because Majority of vlr users are sensitive kids who get triggered easily.

In the past he had allegations of match fixings

In their form now, they are.
Or to say the very least, hella inconsistent.
It's delusional to think they'd win a major event without a proper IGL, without proper set roles. Fix the problem already!

Stop with the regional bias as if the teams from other regions cannot grow.
If Zeta's run has shown anything, it is the fact that despite having a 'weak' region and having 'weaker' teams to practice against, they still won.
Zeta were a textbook example of why every pro calls Valorant a momentum based game.
Going from only winning 5 rounds against DRX in combined both maps to eliminating half the teams, they've shown impressive performance and resilience.
PRX, DRX, Xerxia all showed their regions have in fact excelled.
People always use the "EU is only Gambit, FPX,FnC with Derke" or "NA is only OpTic, C9, now Guard"
That's not how the game works tho. That's what majority of the racist chats should understand dissing regions and living rent free.
Every region is excelling, it's just a race to see for every new patch released, who adapts and shifts with the meta well.

Because eSports is a mental / momentum based game which needs strong mental unlike physical games where your physical movements have equal contribution
Edit : Not to mention the practice hours + match itself you have to communicate on a dry throat which is a bit of a challenge

Bro doesn't even fast and wants to dismiss it as an "excuse"
Just saying, try being hungry and thirsty for over 20 hours and then have food and come to work.
The hunger / thirst isn't the main factor. You can't comm effectively due to the dry throat and your body gets tired after eating. Offcourse I speak from experience and from whatever Scream had to say on his stream about the situation. He never once said it was a downside. That's solely me speaking on my experience.
Stats don't lie either. Liquid had the strongest run compared to FnC and G2. That's just the statistics not even me speaking as a fan just the way Zeta had better stats than every EU, Asian team.

It isn't an excuse as someone who fasts myself. What is the issue tho, is the fact that they have to eat after 20 hours of hunger in 1-2 mins and get back to playing which tires the body.

As good as Laz was, Zeta were only able to prolong their run due to SugarZ3ro and his heroics against 2 teams on 4 different maps with many many clutches.

Statistically, they had the best Haven map out of all teams. Nivera and Scream were Fasting and their time of eating would often be during the matches itself.
If you ask me, they were the strongest of the three EMEA teams out there.

MaKo has shown excellence with Viper, Marved with Brim and Omen, SUGARHERO with Astra.
Although I still think Chronicle is a top tier player

Bruh Aspas rolled them this game tho. Sacy was amazing as well. Saadhak, Less and pAncada didn't have the best game but credit, where it's due.
OpTic just played better with Victor popping off.
Both teams played very well.

BRUH LMFAOOOO

HE BECAME A BETTER VERSION OF HIMSELF. VICTOR BECAME A BETTER VERSION OF FOOD. EVERYONE IS A FOOD FOR HIM.

W org caring about their players and not keeping them binded

True. Get a proper set IGL and take decisions that'll actually benefit the roster.
Kryptix was Good but Nivera has been better than him in every aspect. If SoulCas fails with his consistency (he used to be an insane Skye back then) some changes might be due

Ping issues (WiFi is downbad at times) and I play on a laptop so that kinds limits the performance in the longevity.
Oh and I have a terrible aim.

No cap detected

Because he's a close tier 1 cs pro who's mechanically cracked at the game and was amongst the first to dodge a brimstone molly with a Jett updraft and Astra suck by opposing movements. People know his calibre and hence the support deservedly.

Although for me having played controllers quite a lot, smoking the chamber trap and pushing or lurking is easy to make it useless which can't be done with cypher. If your trip placement is good you're guaranteed value even when broken and not to mention the cypher cam on split is one of the best abilities to use

He was tho, Sean and ddk told him they'd form a team around him but he himself decided to leave 100T. He clarified on stream

I agree. The debts are way too much. Besides Asuna having to sit through so many iterations of rosters must have put a heavy guilt debt on his heart. That's another flex down

It isn't even about them being good / bad.
Offcourse they're good they're placed minimum 4th and they've had all dominant games.
What makes people enjoy them is their aggressive playstyle which is difficult to counter. This is a team that has mastered aggression.

Benkai. His growth as an IGL and as a player, he has clutched the most rounds for PRX and has looked EXTREMELY crisp

Sheydos. That man has saved Gambit multiple times on many different agents. Also pretty underrated.
Also have to give it to Redgar for IGLing and not loosing his cool.
Gambit are known kings of comebacks. The amount of times they've Made a comeback is insane.

Not listening to music nerfed him significantly with his mental

Not really tho. G2 had the easier one and a better seeding in playoffs imo

Pretty much, as I like to describe them as Controlled Chaos
They are on their record a very aggressive team but they know how to play around it and don't just over aggress and pay for it!
PRX for the win!

Sure they got knocked before G2 but their performances which looked like fluke proved to be now what we can see in Zeta defeating a fundamentally coordinated team like DRX.
Although I have a liquid flair I'm not being delusional and just wanted to point it they arguably had the best performance from all the EU teams we had this masters.
And I'm glad we finally have other regions in the finals. High key hoping OpTic to lose so we get a new region being the champion, although may the better team win.

Fr sure. We've seen Zeta defeat DRX who's arguably the most coordinated team. If liquid put that good of a fight then they were the better team, not to forget they had 2 players fasting for 20 hours while playing.

Jinxed their loss?☠️

Let's go DRX!

The only problem is Reyna cannot do the job of entering sites and creating space alone. F0rsakeN creates space and entries and Jingg on Reyna trades him and is the secondary entry.
The aggressive nature of PRX allows Jingg to instantly trade and dismiss to safety.
So to make Reyna work you basically must go on a double duelist comp to really work effectively.

Yeah. I think the first seeds should be given an extra redemption opportunity wherein they start with everyone and have to qualify for playoffs but rather than 2, they need 3 losses to be eliminated.
I know sounds nuts but if the seeding matches are important then this is something every team will right for through and through.
So make something like a round robin with the top seeded teams so they have an extra opportunity.

Yeah I feel MaKo is a better viper, or to be Frank he's just the best controller overall imo

Uncommon W

Forget Masters, I'd say for a high tier tournament of the calibre it sucked for any eSports. The matches were good but the tech pauses were way too dragged, there were lan freezes, lags, as Stax mentioned they kept getting swapped to desktop, the HUD was lazy at times.
To think that the so called local tourneys "Mickey Mouse Tournaments" still have a production quality better than an A/S tier event is pretty weird.
This has been a frustrating experience for everyone, the players and the viewers who are dragged 10+ hours for 3 matches and 6+ hours of 2 matches.

Jamppi, Hoody and MaKo have been literal LANimals with Nivera popping off at times.
