I said Xeppaa was F tier. None of you see the lack of potential in these players. He's the 6th best player on C9

Hey, fellow VLR warriors,

It's time to unleash some truth bombs about the group stage format in Valorant tournaments. Brace yourselves because this flaw is about to hit you harder than a Jett ult.

Picture this: the final group stage matches arrive, and what do we get? A lackluster spectacle. Why? Because those top-seeded teams have already punched their ticket to the playoffs. They're sitting back, sipping margaritas while the rest of us are starving for some fierce competition.

But that's not all! The teams that stand zero chance of making it to the playoffs? Well, they couldn't care less. They're like, "Yo, we're out. Who needs to try?" It's as if they've already hit the surrender button before the game even starts.

We deserve better, my friends. We want every match to ignite the screen, to make us scream and jump out of our chairs. We want blood-pumping action that keeps us on the edge of our seats, not this sorry excuse for a show.

So, Riot Games, listen up! It's time to put some fire back into the group stage. Give those top-seeded teams a reason to fight tooth and nail until the bitter end. Throw in some mind-blowing incentives, spice up the rewards, and make them battle for glory, not just a fancy spot in the playoffs.

And don't forget about the underdogs, the teams that won't make it to the playoffs. Show them some love too! Give them a reason to give it their all, to unleash their inner beasts, even if they won't make it to the grand stage. They deserve a chance to shine.

So, fellow gamers, let's rally together. Let's demand a group stage that's an electrifying battlefield, where legends are made and dreams are shattered. No more snooze-fests, no more wasted potential. Let's make Riot Games feel the heat and bring back the adrenaline that Valorant is known for.

Are you with me? Share your thoughts, unleash your fury, and let's show Riot that we won't settle for anything less than an edge-of-your-seat group stage experience!

any person with a brain knows that NRG could easily be 1st or 2nd seed in another world, why would they purposely sandbag and accidentally throw their chance at tokyo?

but then again it’s vlr so there’s no brains here only cope

either team can still be first seed, the games today still matter. if loud lose and c9 win, c9 is first seed, any other possibility and loud is first seed

who would you rather face, nrg or 100T/LEV/Furia/EG?

fnatic is not unbeatable and its weird people think they are

drx, loud, nrg, c9 and prx could beat fnatic. fnatic is the favorite to win but acting like they're unbeatable is weird to me

Americas- EG and Furia (NRG, C9, or LOUD wins tokyo)
EMEA- FUT
Pacific- T1 (TS quals to tokyo 3rd seed)

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

oh yeah nvm im stupid

doesnt 100T need to 2-0 to qual? cause if not they tie in maps with EG and EG wins on round diff?

G2 🤝 LEV

qualifying to playoffs due to a terrible format after doing good in the 1st half of the tournament

nah you're stupid on purpose

EG

stopped reading at "time!"

what a fucking...

the firerate is crazy, why is it 10x the speed of a bucky?

what makes you think LGBTQ+ people are the ones being "racist against white people"? sounds like you're projecting your hate for LGBTQ+ people on a race issue

they look the same bc of glasses, what's the thing mbappe and dgzin have in common?

😐

game isnt over yet, could be 1-2 for furia

fuck it run double duelist on every map

his 😐 felt uninspired tbh

stop bottom fragging your ranked matches 😐

sure confidence i guess

but it wont be for seeding

if they dont save strats then they're trolling

3rd is secured for them i believe

at least liquipedia gave them 3rd seed already

weird people being racist bc their favorite team is losing

😐

NRG TenZ 2024

(please dont do this nrg im begging you)

classic NA sen fan turning on the BR players

stick w your team until the end or dont support them

even top teams can accidentally lose a map to a bunch of radiants

that's why this shit is bo3's

ill take your word for it man, this shit is too complex

riot should make it round differential just for simplicity's sake holy fuck my mind is exploding

not enough chick emojis, you fucking fraud

if they lose then 100T has bigger things to worry about

SEN is inconsistent as fuck, EG has been upwards trending, both teams can't make playoffs (if im not mistaken)

• lev would make playoffs and they could fluke some wins

yeah shit is stupid, hopefully Riot does what CS does and give more spots to the stronger regions
after this year if the 2 and 3 chinese teams in tokyo and champs bottom out 9-12 or 13-16, riot will make some changes
i doubt china would love being humiliated in a sport

any team qualified to tokyo quals to champs, each region has an LCQ (last chance qualifier) for an extra spot including china
therefore:

• tokyo: 3 Americas, 4 EMEA, 3 Pacific, 2 china
• champs: Tokyo winner, 3 Americas, top 3 EMEA from tokyo, 3 pacific, 2 china, 1 LCQ from each region (including china)

who's blaming tenz? pretty sure any criticism today is against the whole team

mwzera? better on skye than raze tbh

least delusional sen supporter

W take

supporting her bc she's a woman is fine, absolving her of criticism bc she's a woman isn't fine

people don't realize these two standpoints can coexist

chris pratt's all-time peak in comedy tbh

not powertripping at all, just stating what i'm doing atm since you said im not going out w friends (also it's 2pm my time on a thursday, who tf is even able to go out w friends rn)

im gonna stop responding now, i dont wanna be the reason you get this upset about your sad pathetic life. bye!

my fault

but you knew what i meant, the fact that that's all you can respond to is pretty telling of how mad you are

at home internship, im currently improving my life

what are you doing rn? crying about a sentinels loss? mad someone was correct about a prediction? marved is a bad igl plain and simple. your cries will not change that fact

sen was the worse team on **haven plain and simple, dephh wouldn't have been a much better igl than marved though (not saying much)

its okay keep being upset bro, it's a good look on you

currently interning for a data science job, not much i have to do at the moment

you're just upset i was right, gg go next bro and quit bringing my personal life into it

finally a good shownu take

mfs thought marved igl was gonna be the second coming of christ after a win on a double duelist map

bro just stole my prediction with 1 round left in the game

hopefully marved igl will be good enough by then!

hey i was close enough, ggs though! <3
