TenZ didnt even throw it was pancada who didnt show up. he had art control he couldve swung for the trade on TenZ but just stood there and got cleared out by a flash

kinda sad that everyone performed so well except for him.
he’s like mostly a non factor in these rounds its crazy

Jimzooo clears

nah bro you’re coping.. Apeks had the advantage to ban the opponents’ best maps and their own worst map. momentum can be stopped by better preparation and whoever shows up but Apeks just isnt prepared enough for the comps M8 threw at them

doesnt the upper final winner have a 2 map ban advantage? what are you even talking about

as long as he gets picked up by a franchised team like KC its all fine for him

its alright.. Enzo and Keiko might get picked up by franchised teams so its not a complete loss

his tp is too predicatable now. pre nerf chamber u wont know where he tp’d to which makes it so hard to trade him but now once u flush out a chamber off an angle u can just quickly rush his tp

Commend using his platform for good. Big W

nahh hahaha Commend did him dirty.. man cant have any takes now lol

I mean like he’s right with how bad the team was.. even he himself said that he didnt perform the way he normally should. he even donated his salary to charity instead because he thinks he doesnt deserve it

yay has played at the peaks of Valorant in 2022 if he wasnt hard or critical to himself and to his team OpTic probs wouldnt have been making consistently deep runs. at the end of the day its a competition and everyone wants to win

the Sykko x dephh nepotism lives on

I mean theres a reason why Riot didnt pick OpTic as one of the franchised orgs so another org might pick up The Guard roster if they drop out

its got to be like around 30-40%
the favours lean to Apeks more but Acend has a decent chance to win

Cned will be there in spirit 🗿

pansy and hypoc Ardiis vs DRX 1v3 clutch
the “the man can do no wrong!” is a cold line from pansy

who is a player that you think deserves recognition?

can be anyone! franchised player, GC, rotting in tier 2, free agent/unsigned, content creator, anyone!

I think vici is hella underrated unfortunately he’s not in a team right now

is there hope for this team? coming from last year they looked like they were contenders to win an international event but with all the internal disagreements and roster swapping its looking like this team will bomb out in Champs. thoughts?

I mean the whole region may be behind but a top team like EDG is not.
no matter how much experience NA teams may have in FPS games Valorant is too dynamic that FPS experience can only go so far.. the meta is ever evolving and changing that one small tweak on one agent can benefit a whole region’s play style

they improve fast so I have a feeling they’ll beat FPX as well

looks like all the players are finding success in EDG and BLG and even TYLOO if they beat FPX and qualify for Champs

he cant even make it in NA challengers how is he better than KangKang

this guy is unstoppable… i wanna see him against international teams

i havent seen anyone talk about him. just curious.

im guessing Jemkin is probably ethnically yakuts which is still in Russia

this year doesnt look good so far.

agree it would be a bad precedent but it still sucks that the OG team cant play in tier 1 together if they ever qualify

in my opinion since they all started their careers in Asia they should get a pass but Riot may still not allow it unfortunately

can Riot not make an exception or will they actually have to kick one of the Russian players? (if they do win Ascension)

tier 2 is good but tier 1 teams are in the dumps… I hope DFM builds a better team for next season and Zeta gets some good rookies cause Japan has so much talent and its all rotting in tier 2

for some reason they aint live on YouTube only Twitch

NRG isnt flashy but seeing FNS big brain his way to victory and play around his opponents is fun to watch imo… my favourite moment from them was when they pulled one of the best fakes against Giants in Haven

DK had a slow start in Korean Challengers as well.. maybe they just have first match jitters

ye they had a slow start in Korean Challengers as well so its only up from here

since when did people consider Sscary the best controller in APAC? I thought it was mindfreak

really unlucky for them… Dplus, SCARZ and BLEED are top contenders to win the whole thing so all 3 being in the same group just sucks for the other 2

hope he doesnt rot in tier 2 and a franchised team actually picks him up in the off season… all he needs is a good and structured team and he’ll be back

bruh this has got to be a joke lmaooo what is with this production

ye will be relegated

Sentinels is the best when it comes to clout and marketing their players

NRG has the best documentary type vlogs right now

PRX has the best casual vlogs

others are kinda mid… if there are other good ones suggest please

FNS/Boaster
MaKo
Leo
KangKang
Alfajer/nAts

who are the favourites in each region to win Ascension?

thats not the main VCT circuit and VCT teams cant compete in GC… like bro just accept that Fnatic won two majors it aint that deep..

international events = major… its that simple. is it really that hard to understand or are you guys just making excuses to trash on Fnatic?

Valorant is too dynamic that one new map or a newly released agent can benefit a whole region’s play style… also EMEA has a lot of history in competitive tac-fps so they are favoured currently where the game is young and teams are not min-maxing utility

just give Pacific and China some time… once they figure out the right structure like how they did in League they will start winning trophies

agree it feels like such an obvious move but I guess kaplan and drewspark genuinely wants pancada on sentinel

you mean LOUD 2022?

MaKo still the best controller.. pancada and Marved are closer to each other tho and they play on the same team

I would put something or ZmjjKK in the top 5 duelists right now… both elevate their teams and make crazy plays that just gets you wondering if they are even human
