I favor Loud’s Ascent over DRX’s but I think DRX have a stronger Breeze then Loud

Have fun against Leviatan

VAMOOOOSSS

One of the most anticipated matchups

LETS FUCKING GO, <3 STAX

DRX blew out Optic on Fracture and then somehow got destroyed on Breeze, I’m not confident that this series is over

Who wins in a fight? A phoenix or a dragon?

I see a lot of people having DRX place 5-6th cause of the curse but I honestly think this event they'll either go 0-2 or finally go on a run, with no in between. If they beat FPX they'll continue with the momentum, but if they lose in the uppers, I could see them immediately losing in the first round of lowers as well.

I don't even blame them

people will do anything to have them place 5-6th lol, I don't even blame them

FPX is still a top three team and FNC looked insane today + get Alfajer crowd buff

That’s why it sucks to get FPX first round, especially for DRX. It’s like when VS pulled Gambit of all teams in Berlin

Probably the highest quality first round match wdym

*1 team from Asia remaining

LFG

Is there going to be a crowd throughout all of playoffs?

Just VLR being VLR

Where lacrosse?

what a response, lmfao
Anyway, my point is that whoever gets that TR/CIS slot would just be replacing whatever team gets 13-16th with a TR/CIS team. I’m all for representation but you keep bringing up performance as the reason they deserve the slot even though they’d be just as bad as Zeta if not worse.
What region do you even plan on taking a slot from?

Furia vs Fnatic is genuinely proof that this gap that you guys keep bringing up barely exists. A team like Zeta wouldn’t have won the EMEA event by any means, but I think they would definitely qualify from groups unlike BBL

I put 0-2 cause he’s the one who said they’ve gone 0-2 at nearly every event, you’re reading into this a little too much :|

JP literally haven’t gone 0-2 this entire year. I respect your opinion on NAVI but BBL with Paura couldn’t even make it out of EMEA groups, I genuinely don’t think they’d even win a match at Champions.

My guy, the original posts arguments were:

1. KR/JP getting their own slot is bad
2. TR/CIS deserve their own slot

That is what I’m arguing against and why I brought up BBL (TR) and NAVI (CIS). I disagree and I told you why. Everything else you are spouting isn’t even remotely relevant. I don’t know how you even got to talking about Japanese weebs.

You completely glanced over my point which was that a team like Zeta is as good as a team like KRU but you don’t see them getting any shit for it. DRX are also deadass the only reason why Asia are even still in the tournament and are always a top 5-6th best team, why tf would you cut them out? You’re delusional if you think NAVI or BBL would do any better

Bringing up KR/JP slots doesn't work to prove your point though since Zeta and DRX have actually proven they deserve to be there, you should be talking about APAC instead (XIA/BOOM). If it's about single country slots, BR also get their own slot every event and don't have to fight for it.

They're probably from british columbia

Genuine question, what percentage of the SEA and SA fanbase/orgs do you think will transfer to Valorant mobile once it releases? I could also see China being pretty interested in it.

Pretty good, I wouldn't consider him top 5 like everyone was saying before Copenhagen though

DRX vs 100T and PRX vs EDG

1. OPTIC
2. LEV
3. FPX
4. DRX
5. XSET
6. LOUD
7. TL
8. 100T
9. FNC
10. KRU

the one i could think of off the top of my head

i think we're going to get a DRX vs Loud lower bracket match

It’s pretty poetic seeing them be Asia’s last hope. They were the first to put Asia on the map and will hopefully be the ones to close it out :)

seankuku back at it again lmao

It wasn’t Jiangli, it was one of the Indonesian users that comment on DRX matches, I’ll see if I can find the receipts later

I’m actually pissed though cause there was that one SEA fan boy who said DRX are only good until they run out strats by playoffs even though they wouldn’t have ran out of strats in the first place had they gotten a free ass bye to playoffs every event like PRX

DRX and Zeta don’t play what I would consider aggressively

I don’t mind the whole ‘APAC pride’ thing but it’s a little funny to see how ‘APAC = SEA’ at the start of the tournament when SEA is on top and now it’s ‘APAC=SEA+KR+JP’ once SEA teams are losing. Reminds me of how EU used to claim and disregard CIS+TR depending on how well they were doing in Berlin.
I’ll still be supporting PRX and the SEA homies though

sure they've fallen off from 2nd place but i feel like they've still always been a top ten team this year

XIA and Liquid would be my 11-12th picks

OPTIC
FPX
PRX
DRX
LOUD
FNC
LEV
KRU
ZETA
XSET

Anyone disagree with the list?

Please do me a favor and rate Leviatan above DRX so we don't get cursed this time. Thanks ^-^

tbf though EDG would've steamrolled through APAC just as easily

1. DRX
2. NTH
3. TGrd
4. Zeta
5. ONS

DK would be on the list but they disappoint me every time :(

Against FPX?
DRX Maps: Breeze, Haven
50/50 Maps: Icebox, Bind, Pearl
FPX Maps: Fracture, Ascent

I actually enjoy rematches, always fun to see an underdog get revenge

DRX vs FPX possibly, damn

We may have lost EDG but DRX and Zeta are still strong!

They might beat XIA/BOOM, that's about it since they're a tier below EDG

KR: 2-0
NA: 5-1
LATAM: 3-1
EMEA: 3-3
JP: 1-1
BR: 1-3
APAC: 1-5
CN: 0-2

NA, LATAM, and KR for the win!
