Judge nerf W

Is there a full post listing out the changes specifically? All this is really saying is "There will be more teams".

Actually fake flagger. A true frenchman would know Lyon clears by a mile as far as event hosting is concerned.

They messed with their lotus comp. It used to be

Smoggy KJ
Haodong Omen
Chichoo Astra
Nobody Fade
Kangkang Raze

Now it's
Chichoo KJ
Haodong Astra
Nobody Omen
Smoggy Fade
Kangkang raze

I don't know why they messed with it, it wasn't that big of an issue before. I think their struggles on that map can be sourced to the shuffling of roles that they've done.

Edit - They can't even ban lotus because they are on losers side

Yup I just saw it 🐢🐢🐢🐢

I mean last act they only lost to EDG and rare atom who were crazy form that act. I agree EDG weren't at their best today and are still the better team overall but this is far from a fluke win for TE

Still coping from the loss in Tokyo is fucking insane

Honestly they are getting coach diffed right now is what it looks like to me. They went into Lotus still tilted from the last map and TE were disciplined enough to pounce on them

More time and practice with Kai in the team and Destroyer as the coach. They have cooked immensely since then and they are arriving earlier than even I expected.

I'm sorry Destroyer for doubting you, what you have done with this team is incredible and you are absolutely diffing After right now

Nvm our sunset is READY

I think the only way TE wins this is if they get their map pick of Bind and win and then somehow beat EDG on split. Trace is very promising and has a lot of good talent but their map pool isn't large enough to be considered a threat to EDG YET . Perhaps in the 3rd act they could pull it off but sadly I don't see it happening here, especially with EDG in top form

Hydrogen bomb vs. Hydrogen bomb

I could see the map picks ending up being TE Bind --> ASE Ascent with a Split decider, but that would require TE to ban Haven first.

Not even saying they are going to win, but saying they are the worst team when you have DFM (0-13), ASE (0-13), and CVA who they BEAT in the same event is wild

Just say you don't watch the games

Trace is just goated can't fault them

Rare Atom wake up EDG and the run from losers will be dominant

Also so many Trace Esports doubters, and yet they keep proving them wrong time and time again

GRAAAAAAH THATS MY GOATS

This is the revenge game Trace need to win. They got the win over BLG in the last act, but people will put an asterisk on that one with Yosemite being absent from that contest. If we see a very competitive match this time around or even a win, it will show that Trace can be a solid contender at CN Tier 1.

This match could have been grand finals

How crazy were the fourms back in the day

I feel like Wippie got a bad rap when he was put onto C9, but credit to him he's been performing well so far in officials

🔥 🔥 🔥 We need you to get you out of the kitchen this shit is cooked 🔥 🔥 🔥

That beat is actually mad cold

Shout outs to Varrel they sponsor some hype Tekken players

High on Hopium

Dude I forgot immortals existed as an org before seeing that flair

Social media org

Nah you know what team he needs to join

PS pretty sure this guy is verified on here

Fennel, Fancy United, Boom would be options that I would look at

Deadlock pick on split turns out not to be the move, who could have seen that coming

(Not the players, just strictly the Org)

EG
Global

Tough group draw for my heroes, hoping for just some solid play from Trace now that BiliBili has Yosemite back. Any improvement from the thrashing they gave them at the champions qualifier would be great to see

If it weren't for one of the worst collapses in professional Valorant history, you'd have a strong case for Apeks

Do you want to have to wake up at 6:00 AM to have to drive to an office for work at 8:00 AM to beat traffic and sit working an 8 hour job that is deadend and unfufilling with the only incentives being provided health insurance or do you want to be able to work your own hours and work from home and not have worry about that. You decide

I just want one of these sets to go 3 maps because I want to be able to watch some while I'm on the clock 😭😭

Doesn't want to relocate before going to Japan in 2025 the ultimate plan

Noragami

At least it gives us a chance to see (more than likely) EDG vs. CCG to let us powerscale them to each other. Neither tested very toughly through their group stages

Good showing in the second map at least to keep it competitive

Alright Torch Plus, lets see what you got in store for a BO5

I swear I thought this was already announced

This the type of thing where I wish the best for the players but god damn the organization is shitty lmao

Why does C9 get all the invites? I understand red bull home ground at least a bit (#2 place finish), but since then they have not looked like the strongest americas team at all. Is it because they are the only team with a solidified roster at this point?

Is there just no real info on the situation? I wasn't following stuff between the past two days outside of just knowing noot noot was banned, and was hoping to see an article from a writer here sort of explaining what happened, but I can't find anything.

So close to the leaderboard...

This is a terrible match to bet on, there's some wacky rules to it and it won't be played like a "normal" vct match at all. Don't expect too much coming out of this showmatch
