definitely agree, if I were in full control I would only add one per event or even one per VCT season

Edward

what plays at international events do you guys think could deserve a physical memorial on the map (like a permanent spray)? please suggest some more because I've forgotten a lot of them, especially from Champions 2021 and Reykjavik 2022 since I didn't watch much after DRX got eliminated

Reykjavik 2021
-Mistic team flash against Sentinels on haven back of c site
-Lakia 1v2 clutch against Version1 jumping from ascent a site heaven

Berlin 2021
-Hiko 1v3 clutch against Gambit behind yellow on icebox a site
-nAts 1v3 clutch against G2 on icebox b site
-crashies ace clutch against Vivo Keyd on icebox b site

Champions Berlin 2021
-JhoW camera glitch on breeze a site
-keznit 6k against Fnatic on icebox a site
-chronicle ace against KRU on bind b site (added)

Reykjavik 2022
-stax 1v5 clutch ace against Paper Rex on bind b site

Copenhagen 2022
-Suygetsu 4k against Paper Rex on breeze b main
-Enzo defuse against Leviatan on bind b site
-Melser 1v4 clutch against XSET on split b site
-Mindfreak 1v4 against Fnatic on haven (added)

Champions Istanbul 2022
-crashies ace against BOOM from spawn

unfortunately I don’t think he’ll do much until after Champions since he’s not in Istanbul :/

Optic loses and then gets grouped by Boom, I walk away with my $100

sad but it makes sense, i don’t expect any of these players to make franchising either

Group A may be a lost cause but we’re still going strong for Group B 💪

Paper Rex fans should be cheering for Liquid to beat EDG, Liquid are a much easier matchup then a rematch against EDG

Boom funny rope play + teams are starting to learn how to play against PRX's style

NU vs V1

it won’t be perfect when BOOM group OpTic

Shao still exists

someone's salty

i need to see Leviatan close out this series before we place them top five

nobody said it wasn't tough?

you have some kind of mental issue

0-2 VS
0-2 NTH
1-2 DK
1-2 DRX
1-2 Zeta

first time in VCT so they are now 1-5 against EA, pretty sure they beat some T2 KR team before though

Life is sick I believe, hopefully he will be back for their match against Liquid.
For the people saying smoggy carried and that EDG were better with him, does that mean FNC in Reykjavik were better with h1ber since he carried? The answer is no, they still don't have much practice with him, people underestimate how important practice and synergy are (plus Life is one of their better players).

And for the first time this year we actually have a clouted NA team attending

Hollow Knight

can't wait to see what strategies DRX has come up with for Pearl

EDG 2-1
Liquid 2-0 LEV

https://www.vlr.gg/pickem/caa02904

Would’ve preferred Barcelona and Tokyo instead of Berlin and Seoul but it makes sense with the amount of infrastructure Riot already has set up in both cities

DRX ^-^

EDG 2-1 PRX
TL 2-0 LEV

I really hope they don’t. NA is already cramped as it is with 6-7 slots and G2 has a much bigger EU fan base. The only good thing we’d get out of it is a SEN vs G2 rivalry

CR should be a lock

i swear if Sylvan doesn't make it on a franchised team we riot

calling DK a super team is like calling VK a super team to put things into perspective

Most fans and people on this site at this point have DRX placing a max of 5-6th place. I’d challenge you to find 3 recent posts by actual DRX fans that have them any higher. Personally I don’t even expect them to make it out of groups. Teams like 100T are getting much more hype right now.

Team Liquid vs FunPlus Phoenix, calling it now

EDG are fun to watch and I think TENNN and SugarZ3ro make Zeta pretty entertaining too

how do Soniqs always manage to achieve the most unbelievable chokes

XL choked so bad, it was hard to watch

Worlds 2017 Opening Ceremony was amazing

I wouldn’t bet on Trent leaving TGrd unless they don’t make franchising but v1c would be a great pick up

I forgot about Deryeon, he deserves a good team

nAts and Meteor are the first to come to mind for me

You don't get my point, his peak was online. Online isn't worth half as much as someone's peak on lan

maybe OCE and SA?

i don't think that Trent's peak is higher then players like stax and starxo's since he didn't perform anywhere near their level on LAN

I don't mean to ruin the surprise but my sources have told me this means we're getting 5 CN and 5 SA slots. Rest in peace APAC, Skrossi will finally make Masters.

Larger player base then any other individual region and Riot have created a better T2 circuit that no other region has. Having a higher player base also equals more competitive teams which equals better practice.

Kayo, Oni Phantom, Phantom/Marshal

Liquid always get out of groups, can’t beat the narratives

Drop hoody, Meddo, and AvovA
Ship Mixwell to KOI for profit
Keep nukkye around
Rebuild with the pieces of Guild, Acend, M3C, and FPX if they don't make franchising
If they can't build a strong roster out of players like Sayf, Leo, nAts, Chronicle, cNed, and starxo, they are doing something wrong

beating Sentinels makes them more likable

DRX
Damwon - most of the time just barely missed LANs
Leviatan - had a massive mental block against KRU for the longest time and choked a lot when they were Australs
Cloud9 - they just looked angry 24/7 during the LCQ
BBL - they only win the matches that help another team qualify instead of themselves
