symptoms lol? But every team is dealing with it for some reason, so it balances out

Nah like every team has sick players atm, so its not even an excuse, its an even playing field lol

I need both of these teams to qualify just because of their names

None are flukes, if any other team was better, they would have won

The classic Ascent Def Odin Brawktagon

Nope, I wanted to stay with the team and in NA, just too many duplciate roles after the merge. Sadly a lot of the T2 orgs in all regions left, and others decided their coaching staff a long time ago.
So I'm still LFT, same as sym and Aproto :)

I assure you they made up their mind a long time ago, a tweet didn't hurt my chances.

🤔

Where do you think all our strats come from?

was never even in doubt

MxM for viewership

Thank you for the support 🙏🙏

I am so wet

I'm not over valuing APAC, its per region, pls read the tweet lol

Honestly a pretty non-issue for us, those teams will still be trying to get the best seeding instead of just being safe.
The real issue is why its Round Difference in the first place, instead of Head to Head first lol. Like every other Valorant tournament is.

Every team tries to win 13-0 anyway, don't think anyone is going to plan to get a certain number of rounds and then throw the rest. The group is way too close on Round Difference for that to happen.

Que?

HELALLLLLLLLL MELIH

Feel bad for sym

Yeah probs
One of the biggest orgs in the world in VCT > F/A Challengers team
shocker

I'm not hating, I have Vitality in my pickems and think they will probs still win the series.
But everything is part of a round, just because youre better at getting the initial advantages, but then lose the round due to clutches, doesn't mean youre objectively the better team. Keeping those advantages and taking disciplined fights is equally as important.
But yeah whiffs happen, but lets not pretend LEV didn't have some unlucky moments too. Like Cenders big balls 1v4 defuse or Taco cancelling the plant on his own teammate accidentally.

You don't play better if you lose
Getting clutched means you either lost the 1v1 or lost an advantage, neither of which makes you better

People are really gonna be surprised by how good s0m is when NRG play

That whole map is probably the worst and most random map I have ever had the pleasure to be in the server for lol

me

F/A team btw, pls sign us :D

actually pretty balanced groups

what an odd comment since we won the regional league and came 2nd in EMEA Finals

not sure why I am taking shots anyway, was just correcting your confidently incorrect statement

no, BONECOLD was IGL, baddyG helped with mid-rounds calls

shame, genuinely had one of the highest skill ceilings for a team that I have seen

if only there was a good Turkish IGL who didn't get kicked lol

Nope, its Salah, Strong and Gorilla as coaching staff now

The level isn't as different as you might expect tbh. A lot of people who shine in VRLs are able to shine in VCT too, look at someone like Alfajer from Split 1 in VRL to Split 2 in VCT.

I don't think Cender needs to surprise anyone, he was already a beast last split

8th doesnt seem too bad

Leo Ace 1v5 clutch vs NAVI on an eco 100%

Its a joke....

Cmon bro, you gotta believe in the team a bit more

deffo MAD Lions, good players and the core has been together for over a year I think, so the synergy is really high too
No other VRL team has both of those things yet

You're forgetting leading a full Turkish team to Masters. Not an easy feat, and one which we are very unlikely to see happen again anytime soon

Man I thought you only spoke English and German, but you speak FACTS too?? Truly talented

He gets it
(Was just checking the scores and saw the thread lol)
And honestly, its a pretty funny thread

<3

We said a lot, Riot apologised to us, but because it technically wasn't in the rules for Masters 1, they couldn't do anything more except update the rulebook.
The case here is that it is very clearly not allowed, so it can be punished, completely different situation.

I like both :)

VAMOSSSSSSS

Judging by his post history it is because of defending Niesow lol.
Sorry I don't believe in a massive conspiracy between Riot, Heretics, and all of his teammates like nukkye, AvovA, pAura, Lowel, Taimou etc to protect 1 person for whatever reason
