Americas: LATAM North
Pacific: South Asia
EMEA: Italy???

NAOS has been super momentum based these past two matches. they either string a ton of rounds together or completely fall flat

crazy that the odds are favoring DK

bros clearly gotta do a better job at teaching us cause GENG are 1-7 in recent matches 😭

ONE Team

not a fluke cause they just straight suck, especially internationally, in my opinion. they do always lose their first match though so we'll see after the OGT match their true colors

no cause i'm a broke college student 😔

Bleed Esports sponsors Bonkers lol

Esperanza has always been a paycheck stealer internationally, dude couldn't even jiggle peak properly in the last lcq

should've listened

1/3 so far

DK try not to over rotate and line up challenge (impossible)

they seem fine to me and I'm cheering for DK

isnt cn a 1 team region also?

that's my point. every region is a one team region. if your best team loses to their best team, you are currently the worse region.

I'm just going off of current results. If this was cs, I'd agree, but Valorant only has 3 tourneys a year and every region (aside from NA and EU) are one team regions. those are the only reasons why I'm saying that CN > BR off of one match, I'll 100% admit it's recency bias

no but after a certain amount of time - I think 4 years? - Riot evaluate and have the option to replace them

I TOLD YOU TO BET ON THEM MF AND YOU LAUGHED AT ME

11 teams - they get demoted after 2 years though

Bonkers playing better than before but DK had some unacceptable errors. Losing a 1v2, a 1v3 (to the same player), and then not brim ulting cause Esperanza screwed the KJ mollies is amateurish

even now DK still are favored by the odds this match when these guys haven't played Bind for half a year lol.

CN* > Brazil > Korea > LATAM > Turkey > JP > Oceania > India > Antarctica

scarz were definitely underrated despite them literally beating this DK team in the past. I think OGT and BLD are both better than people give them credit for too

I know they always have slow starts, but it's hard to believe in them when they do shit like this or this all the time too

these guys were just waiting to get overated

these DK players are international chokers

🤔

Bonkers 2-1 Dplus
OGT 2-1 SCARZ
BOOM 2-0 FCY

M80 2-0 The Union
9z 2-1 00Nation

Acend 2-1 DA
Apeks 2-0 Case
Dsyre 2-0 CGN
Gentle Mates 2-1 Falcons

Dplus have lost their first match 2x now, could become a trend

Based on the remaining users with 100% pickems (top 0.4% of users) these were how many chose each team to win

Dplus 3-6 Bonkers
Orangutan 6-3 SCARZ
BOOM 6-3 Fancy United

This means you should bet on Bonkers, Orangutan, and BOOM today for free cash! Thank me later!

someone tell these guys to stop forcing, it's like they're tilted already

been dead ever since they couldn’t attend the NA LCQ

no way you’re saying borrow some Asians when they’re just losing to two Russians lol

this shit might actually top GXR as the worst tourney

Should’ve held it in Japan, they already had the infrastructure. Give them production too

just checked and XIA would’ve also been on eco the next round, really unfortunate for ONE

that’s some bullshit

they had momentum and I’m 90% sure they would’ve won that 4v3 post plant to go up 11-6. this is robbery

Should’ve given production to a Japanese or Korean organization

good shout, he can be our social media manager too

Z:

ZmjjKK - Primary Duelist
Zekken - Flex / Secondary Duelist
Zellsis - Sentinel
Zest - Initiator
Zander - Smokes

Zest and Zander can both shotcall

fake comeback sadge
also these casters are not it

just skip to the very last round of Pearl

Dplus are just waiting to be overhyped, I can see them turning out to be like DK in the EA LCQ who were expected to win the whole thing

What if TSM never choked against XSET in 2021?
What if nitr0 never went back to cs?
What if CR didn't choke Icebox against Gambit?
What if Lakia never got poached by VS?

replace Munchkin with k1Ng and maybe stax with Xeta because of recency bias

i was going to pick him but I find Saya more consistent on duelist and Rb a lot more flexible. the other roles are a lock

MaKo
Rb
xeta
Sayaplayer
k1Ng

also top 3 would be China, Korea, and Indonesia

KC drop their current team and sign ex-DSG

LOUD achievements > GMB achievements

GMB = 1st Masters, 2nd Champions
LOUD = 1st Champions, 2nd Masters, 2nd LOCK//IN + LOUD are playing in a more competitive time

meanwhile FNC is now the undisputed best and OPTC were the undisputed best in 2022. GMB are 4th at best

massive W but Tokyo doesn't count cause it's like if FPX were stuck with Seider for all of Copenhagen. without the sub they win

magi needs a 3rd
