I think people underestimate the fanbases of sentinels, g2 and liquid. They were by far the most popular teams in 2021. They basically made the viewership overblown.

Shroud 100%.
He will be fairly rated after sentinels get 13-0ed in lcq with shroud playing ass

Who cars. Can't keep having masters only in eu

can do it if you're willing to sacrifice a lot of time adjusting

+1 except KRU and Liquid

no way to fix GE is literally skrossi go kill, hope he finds a better team

Keep telling yourself that, finals literally peeked at map 1 and never went over for the remainder of the series as everyone who got the drop just left.
It wasn't even a 3-0 sweep, it was as close as it gets

NA brain can't come up with anything original kkkkkkk

I hecking love ex6TENZ BatChest

I personally don't find very toxic people on Mumbai servers in high plat, low diamond

Flair checks out at least lul

COPIUM riot fan

Eh any crowd event >>>>>>>> no crowd event

Ideally JP should be merged with KR based on their performance this year. But since it's a business and viewership matters, they're still probably gonna give JP a separate slot.
If in any case JP get more than 1 slot, it'd be total bs

Yes that will be the major reason, as opening day had ~100k+ viewership than subsequent days because people were looking for the drop

Yes vk was stupid to use the exploit, idk why they did it. But if u see the rounds in which they used the cam, you'd see that it didn't give them any advantage whatsoever.
My point in initial thread was that acend deserved to lose to vk

stomped by both acend

Kkkkkkk barely won even with 7-0 advantage

This tells me you didn't watch the game so can't argue with brain dead crowd follower sorry

Mickey mouse champions yes

Yes vk would probably lose the next match so they'll face acend in lower bracket again, in which case we can't rule out that they can lose again.
(Maybe vk's comp/strats were great anti for acend)

Even if they win, they'll be differently seeded in playoffs when they qualify from lower bracket anyway

Read my reply again

#28

Why compare whole series? Map 3 was breeze that's what matters

If they went to lower bracket, they'll probably have to face VK again, because it's unlikely vk would've gone lossless.
The only team acend had trouble against was vk, maybe because of comp/strats etc. So they could have been eliminated surely

If vk didn't cheat they would have won, acend to lower bracket where they could get eliminated.
So yes, it did help Acend be where it is today

is there someone deciding who should be there

Riot obviously made the decision to give acend 9-0 so idk.

Also, it's not very hard to accept that acend should have definitely lost that match, while still agreeing that Riot's decision was fair.

They would have won without the cheats. Idc about VK but acend should not be where it is today

Mickey mouse championship because they should have lost to VK in opening match, and in lower bracket anything could have happened.

Even if you agree with vk case decision you still have to agree that they were clearly the better team on breeze, and would have won even without the 'exploit'

As far as I know it is the venue that was used for Masters Berlin, so nothing special. They'll obviously remove the seats and make it a stage similar to the prev ones. They might do something extra in terms of design and effects tho.
Overall doesn't change much

NA majority subreddit will continue their COPIUM till NA prove they are the worst region next year

SA will top every other region in crying and malding in vct 2022 hopefully

he wasn't even the best in his region, forget eu

s1mple will bring valorant to 1mil views as well GOAT

Why all caps?

Copium

I was not talking about twitch streams but professional tourneys. Check escharts, valorant only has better viewership during international lans

Bye, See u on alt account!

Eh this was a regular Zombs performance

Riot in shambles.
Tried everything to give NA and EU a free path to the playoffs but na is na OMEGALUL

6/8 banger

Fucking hate sentinels but feel bad for tenz, guy's an absolute monster but has a problem with controlling his nerves.

NA is the lowest region in Skill/ego ratio KEKW

Era never began KKKKKKKKK

SHAZAM OUTDATED Jebaited TENZ UNDERWEIGHTED Jebaited ZOMBS OVERRATED Jebaited SICK JEBAITED Jebaited DAPR FRUSTRATED Jebaited LONG HAVE WE WAITED Jebaited SENTINELS ELIMINATED Jebaited

That's full on copium. Even if you discount the major, cs still has better viewership stats. Valorant viewership only beats cs during international lans, and we have like 3 of those this year.
In region tourneys barely get views as high as cs tier A/B tourneys. Cs has only few months at best in which no such tournament is played.

I'm bronze 3 and my aim is better than pros

PepeLaugh Surely not

IEM winter is a small tourney which I think hasn't even crossed 200k peak anyway. Compare that to ESL pro league which was competing with Masters Berlin, and was a higher tier tourney.
I agree about the ceremony and crowd thing. Riot really fucked up by not making Champions a crowd event, or at least changing the studio design.

gl for maths mens )

ye i have a fucked up schedule I sleep at like 4 lul
