Wo0t going maniac again? xD
The Heretics bros had enough...

The format is fine until that weird playoffs style imo. No grand finals make no sense. Direct elim is okay but then do it consequently.

Also why doing that long a** quali and group phase and then no upper and lower bracket? So yeah... playoffs are a bit weird.

Ahhhhh... here we go again. xD

Chron and Alfa... <3 Such BEASTS!

One more game Avez showing why he is feared already.

GGs.

KC has a future for sure. Getting better and better. GGs to them!

Saadhak is having so much fun in the regional season with his boys... like the cool unc. But at EWC now his true nature comes through. He is one of the best IGLs in VCT history and he is currently showing that. marteen f.e. was amazing all season, had 2 bad maps today and Saadhak makes everyone else compensate things if necessary with insanely well timed comms - he won them so many rounds also by stepping up and fragging.

Avez is also showing during the whole year that he is an monster (and of course SUYGETSU MVP of the day... insane performance by the legend)!

But yeah, beside of that exciting match.

marteen was very good at 90% of the season so far. Why would you hate him anyways? He says literally nothing about anyone and is just a nice kid.

What a tech mess, but good for SEN to close it out in the end. zekken more and more shows he's the best Neon.

XLG still clutched some crazy rounds with coach. happywei and Viva are shooters. Rarga sadly again with the communication issues... xD At this point with all the Jemkins, Rargas and vo0kashus we might see a all Russian team again at some point... under Chinese flag... xD

Yeah, def. makes sense. :) Good points.

Yeah, this is what I mean (especially with Jemkin). Is is the adrenalin on int. stage? And Tejo seems to be a heavy factor for RRQ and G2...

Would be nice if they manage to get quickly used to old ways again. Jemkin was insane during the season...

Btw.: I wonder how https://www.vlr.gg/473844/gen-g-vs-rex-regum-qeon-champions-tour-2025-pacific-stage-1-gf is possible and then they totally get destroyed by Fnatic, NRG etc. on international stage. And they played really, really good in Pacific. It feels like on int. stage it's a different team... like honestly, RRG look so different.

But yeah, again GGs to NRG -> insane team! Fun to watch them.

NRG is on the way to become the new NA monsters together with ENVY!
Regarding NRG player interviews during Toronto the only teams they lost to in scrims were Fnatic, PRX and ENVY...

But yeah... without the pressure on his IGLing (literally nobody was forcing him to be the best IGL after the last time) Ethan seems to be way cooler on the pitch. :P mada is insane... s0m is insane... absolute crazy team!

Jamppi proofed to be an amazing IGL, tbh. I'm def. impressef af!

And sociabLEE being this good with almost 30 years... crazy!

shhhack played actually a good map.
But yeah... no leaf and then this short amount of time is obviously a big L for G2.

I don't hate on coaches, but I don't like his style. He's now at FOKUS and they just lost against a new Tier 3 team... with again questionable tactics.

GG!
Nice Bo1. That's why watching Pacific and Chinese teams is just fun as hell... aggressive and quick foward.

The Korean Stage 2 league is insane.

Teams like FEARX, Dplus, SLT Seongnam and the academy rosters of DRX, T1 and GENG are full with <18 years young talents... basically all these kids are cracked!

LEGIJA arrived and already cooked new strats...

2-0 ENVY
Cane drops kills. A lot of them.

Absolute W. LEGIJA is a great coach, insane experience.

I think he said because of competition stress / IGLing. So Sayf back on Flex and get an IGL for Kicks would maybe the best solution on the long side?!

Duelist: Derke
Initiator: Sayonara
Viper / Brim / Sentinel: Less
Sentinel / Flex: Sayf
IGL: ?

When Sayf was just playing without IGLing he was INSANE for several seasons.

Of course... also before Toronto. Asia has 4 trophies in a row now.

5 trophies for EU and Americas. You have by far the most professional players in Valorant and still fail to dominate. It's hella funny, tbh.

Look at CS (the far more mechanical and unforgiving game): EU has 99% of the won trophies while having around 15% more players on the servers.

You simply have no arguments, only cheap rage bait.

Still 10x better than Sentinels, G2 and every Americas team.

Alfajer alone would destroy your whole league. xD

PRX and Fnatic > all NA teams.

Alfajer is def. the best fragger / player of the tourney, but they would never give it to the losing team - that never happens. In no sports. So yeah, f0rsakeN 100% deserves the MVP trophy... he is the best IGL in the world.

GGs & congrats to PRX! Absolutely deserved. <3

Alfajer with 99 kills is insane, though. MVP in my eyes!

ohne is really cool. I liked when he played Valorant and as a hardcore CS fan actually tried to understand the game instead of blindly hating on it.

What a match. Both teams can already be super proud and I couldn't ask for a better performance before Toronto as a Fnatic supporter.

I'd be super happy for Paper Rex if they win after losing 3 GFs, even though I'd be happy for Fnatic as well obviously.

And one thing is 100% clear: Alfajer and d4v41 are the MVPs of this tournament.

GGs!

Sad that always some FNC player is earning the food poison badge... xD I hope kaajak is soon at 100% again because against PRX everyone needs to be at 100%, those 4 maps def. felt like he had to work much harder than usual.

Alfajer is carrying us like hell.

Spring is a beast.

Alfa and Chron = 😈
Missing my boy Leo and we're fully back!

GGs to G2... great team!

Please watch what mini said about Leo in an recent interview. Until he paused in Q2 2024 he was "the closest player to play perfect Valorant".

Alfajer is insane mechanically... but he tends to have issues with util heavy agents. That's why he fits 101% on Sentinel - there he can do everything what he wants, just needs to play a bit slower.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMMh22ikCI8

Btw.: Afaik Leo is playing ranked again... so maybe comeback soon?! I hope so. Doesn't matter where.

Don't think so. It's just that both teams have ++ and -- maps. I think that was quite obvious before the match...

What a hard carry from Alfa.

GGs to SEN.

Don't understand why, tbh. I mean their Valorant might not be PRX entertainment level, but how can you hate people like valyn or Jonah?

G2 have a top mindset... really cool to see how far that "never accepting to lose" can bring you.

Nice. Rb is such an amazing player.

I think this match will be defined by the map choices. Both teams have maps where they are clearly better than the opposite, both are very tactical.

If I'd be Derke and Less I'd leave that weird team.

The org is usually great, but what's with their Valorant managment? Way too many changes.

What a great match of PRX! They deserve it so much.

Alfa, please stay on Sentinel. <3

GGs to RRQ! <3

It's just the Iso... and he even mentioned that himself yesterday on Twitter / X.

Alfa is a monster... but he even tweeted that he doesn't know why Iso is not working for him anymore and he keeps doing the same stuff... xD Haven was a desaster.

Alfa schon stick to Sentinel and everything is fine.

As a Fnatic supporter I can tell you we all are happy about having crashies.

And yes... johnqt is basically a EMEA player at Sen, Demon1 is a EMEA player... but who cares?! How far do you want to break it down? In the end the white caucasians from the USA and Canada are of European descent. This is less about ancestry then just about funny region trash talk and trolling, which is simply part of esports. It has been and will always be a funny thing to do for everybody.

Congrats to GENG, crazy good these guys. But I think for such a heavy changed team with so many ups and downs and 2 weeks less prep time, we did quite good.

I'm honest, expected more from G2 here...

But I'm def. happy for PRX. Such an insane team. Choo Choo!

ChooChoo mothersluggers!

G2 2:1 PRX

Oh Jesus...

Out of all options we get this. xD Bruh...

Cringe.

Respect to Paper Rex and Liquid in all honesty.

Why? Dude is a warrior.

What a series. Congrats to PRX, great team!

But Liquid showed a brutal fight - insane unit these guys. nAts is such a legend!

Was fun to watch.
