In no particular order

Its not that they lost its how they act both before and after. I get that they are trolling all the time and all that shit. But at this point it looks pathetic

Players sticking to comfort picks is exact reason why SEN won Iceland. And now they did the same mistake.
In this game you can't just play one agent with all nerfs and buffs that constantly happening. Unless you are Jett operator.

And gambit lost to team finest and gydom galva just before emea quals. Look how it turns out LOL

Eastern Europe is very similar culture

And I'm here supporting gambit from the first day of the org existance. Not just in valorant

Basics the same as cs. 5v5 bomb situation. Abilities while hard to understand what do what really not that hard. It's still same smokes, flashes and mollies beneath that. Looks different but u can see that some of them blocks vision and some of them blinds enemy. Only addition compared to cs is movement abilities - Jett dash, Raze satchels and yoru teleports(although ull probably never see yoru in near future and even raze is rare pick nowadays). With casters help ull pretty soon will get the grip on what's going on.
Edit: yeah forgot about heals and slow/stun. My bad

I suck at op. Have boomer reaction time. Got 1 ult kill per game average but I still love to play Jett. Almost never bottom frag but that is irrelevant on my plat 1 elo

Nice

There is a guy in match thread comments section who predicted 100tvsNV semis and NVvsGambit finals. 3 weeks ago. Absolute madman

FIFA never been good. Being only game isn't achievement. PES only recently get somewhat comparable marketing as FIFA but still miles behind. Also licenses.
It's same as saying that the Sims is the best life simulator when there is no others

Duelist players getting too much prise in general. It is hard not to watch on kills and acs/adr but the game is so much more than this. IMO yay and cNed are only duelists this tournament who could be contenders for the best player spot.

We already have rocket ligue. If it could be a little bit friendlier to new players game would be huge esport.

This shit taking way too much attention

If you look at so called best players in CS both simple and zywoo have it all. They can support their teammates, lurk, clutch, and of course hold difficult angles and perform a risky peeks. And Tenz, well he have insane aim but that pretty much it

They have none yet I believe. It's their permaban for a reason. I wonder what they chose to play once Fracture is in the pool

As individual player of course he is. But in pro matches I've seen enough to judge. He has been punished so much against both NV and g2. Showing his lack of game sense in pro matches. And his teamplay was always questionable

I won't risk with prediction. Match could go either way and even the score could be anything. So excited to watch!

Team of the tournament so far: Yay, nAts, Sheydos, nitr0, crashies

No he is not. If you say that he is best aimer I would probably agree. His reaction time probably fastest out of all the pro rn. And his aim is crisp. But that is only one part of being good. Huge part no one argue. But you need more than that - game sense and teamplay just as much important might be even more important. And on both of this stats Tenz is far from best.

Edit: f**ck autocorrect

This is already insane but if Gambit indeed 3-1 NV I'm calling FBI

Gaming chairs useless if not harmful. Ikea office chair, one with high back is good. But I got cheapest plastic one :c

Iceland were what it was because of the recent drastic meta changes. All of a sudden teams was forced to play astra and viper and some of the teams decided to stick to their comfort picks. And it didn't work.
So however overrated u believe SEN to be, props to them for adapting new meta faster and being individually better than most of the teams at Iceland

Always have been what? U just watched emea and judge like that? Guy is insane and always impactful. He is inconsistent tho

Dapr stole that book from nats in the first place.

Very true

I agree with you despite strong disliking of S1mple's personallity. He is indeed best or one of the best players in the world since day one.
I have no hate to any of the NaVi players but I really hate org. For shit tons of various reasons

That is actually sad. ForZe always been solid squad. They lacking Gambits forepower but always been a contender for the CIS title anyway. And Suygetsu always were the best player of the team :/

Gambit hands down. And not because I'm a biggest fan since creation of the org. Hey they even got sneakers as a part of uniform

I still hope gambit will manage to win both somehow. Both squads have insane potential and both suffers from mentality/confidence issues. Part of being young I guess.

After g2 beat sentinels in pretty quick 2-0. Safe to say that any team that going out of the groups could be champion. Beside may be group B(sorry NV I'm not convinced) Skill difference between rest of the teams abysmal. Deciding factor would be mentality. Simply who wants it more. So by this factor I guess it SEN/VS/100T/G2.(with most interesting case is SEN. It is much harder to bounce back when you've been expected to be unbeatable)

1 kill per round lol. Tactical throw to eliminate some other na team?

Vk could beat kru. For HL it is indeed not looking great

In terms of skill they were head and shoulders above. But that mental break after giving so much rounds comeback shows that they need more confidence.

Well that was strong redemption in last 2 rounds

he played in cloud9 cs once. Plus spanish fanbase

both him and coldamenta just threw first buy round. That was indeed gold2 play

Because it is "CarToOniSh GrAphiCs aNd No SKilL"
Also because NaVi and VP existed much longer than Gambit and u know the rule now - anything new is automatically bad

Not just valve games. For example some of my friends seriously believe that Lineage 2 were as big as WoW. Just so u can understand how delusional people could be over here

It is mentality supported by ideology throughout centuries I believe - everything new is worse. Cs and dota were first lan games we had in computer clubs thats why it holds special place in our hearts. I still have nostalgia for cs and dota. Hours of games with friends via lan, heated discussions of recent games, inside jokes etc.
But I still prefer Valorant now over cs and lol over Dota. More fun to watch and play, more responsive devs, better treated pro scene. Im in minority tho. Not even close

Carlos just outdid himself. Normally im not into banter or trashtalk but this shit is next level

Zeta should've pick defence.

If you still attend classes hell no. Sleep is overrated when you're young

Rivington used to be hella fun and entertaining in early legue of legends days. May be thats why I don't find him boring now. Some good memories intertwine.

My bad. Just tired to read similar but not ironical posts :/

Careful - it was same narrative for TL before Iceland and look how it worked out for them.

I expect close match and epic twitter after. Doesn't really care who would win.

Gambit bans Haven
100t bans Bind
Gambit pick Split
100t pick Ascent
Decider Icebox(both teams would pick it)
2-0 Gambit with Ascent really close(could be 2-1 even)

You should watch those EMEA playoff Haven games. Gambit troll picked and went loose. Casters went crazy. Super fun games. Especially against acend where gambit respond to bm with their own uncharacteristic bm.

Same as valorant stream. Twitch chat is just bunch of bored trolls who doesn't really interested in actually watching stream.

Haven is permaban for Gambit. They didn't play it since first strike outside of bo5. They might have practice it for Berlin but I doubt it.
I think it would be
Gambit ban Haven
100t ban Bind
Gambit pick Split
100t Pick Ascent
Gambit or 100t pick Icebox
