How are they "onliners" when they absolutely shit on GUILD X yesterday? Please explain that one.

You really think SR has a chance against the C9W that played the way they did yesterday against GUILD X? Previous results would say otherwise.

Kinda sad watching it, feel bad for her, They deserve to have a shot at the title but not with the performance we saw from them today. They are a miles better team than Shopify but didn't show that today on Map 2 and 3, Sucks but Shopify played insanely well to be down after Map 1.

Felt like after Fracture went into OT and C9W struggled to close it that their was like such a disconnect from from some players of C9W. Katsumi didn't have the greatest series today and Bob kinda went missing map 2 and 3. Super sad C9W is such a good team and deserves nothing more than a shot at the title but Shopify pulled it together on Haven and Icebox so its well deserved to them. GG's all round.

Haha don't worry I kinda fed into it abit and thought he was just stupid. Guess we both got fooled LOL.

I would't bother trying to show him anything, He clearly didn't watch Champs or Masters with the comment he just wrote.

Haha I appreciate that.

Nah C9W has alot of reads to what SR is trying to do. meL diff honestly, SR looks decent but the over-peaking is whats killing them and Breach feels so outdated on this map since the map has changed and the addition of Fade.

Brother woke up and chose violence LMFAO.

Always said he was such a good player on support roles, Like when he played Viper or KJ but when they moved him to that Duelist/Chamber it just made him look awful. Glad to see him back up there packing in the numbers because used right he's still a good player.

I don’t really need to check a stats page to see how good Bob is. I’ve been following them since EXO-Clan days. Bob’s cracked on any agent.

I don’t even think Haven was the mental boom to them I think it started on how well C9W played on Fracture and how in control of the game they were at all times. Honestly I think it scared GUILD because they started to play terribly, over peaking things and just not waiting for teammates or util. Haven was over after they got eco’d they showed some heart after winning the first pistol but then pissed the bed when that second round was lost. Also they did nothing to break the crossfires of C9W’s post plants, they kinda just tried to run it in and hope the trades came. Took them 12 rounds to finally use a KJ ult because they couldn’t find the breach…

Skye lettuce LMFAO

I think they knew their win condition was winning Fracture and not being able to even get close, a 2-10 half mentally boomed them. After getting eco’d second round on Haven they kinda just fell apart.

Can I just say, on both maps against GUILD, The post plant set-ups from C9W were nothing short of fucking textbook perfect. If they lost a player the trade was near INSTANT. C9W played insane today, absolutely killed it.

Yeah but it’s PRX, they make a ranked comp look like the best thing ever. Remember their Breeze comp in Masters Grand Final against FPX? Shit was working at the start and everyone was praising them 😂

Solo controller but a viper? Surely that’s a first right? Like no other team has run a solo viper on fracture surely…

I’m literally giving praise to TL on how well they punished the mistakes of SR. Takes a good team to rise in those moments and take home the win. TL played the better game here today and deserved to win, clearly showing with how dominate they were on Icebox. I was just pointing out how poorly SR played it with over peeking so many rounds on Icebox. I am in no shape or form trying to shit on the win of TL, not everyone here is a Brazil hater, I for one have always thought this TL team has played well and thought they would do well this tournament.

Nah I kinda like it, adds abit of spice to the story lines and stuff. Cmon we love a bit of banter in the main VCT circuit why can’t the GC scene have the same thing? She also played an insanely good series so props to her and TL!

Yep and didn’t help SR literally threw a 2v4 with the spike not even planted, just over peeking from the side of SR in that last half and it’s clear in my mind that’s what hurt them the most. Liquid did look good so I’ll give them that, they punished all the mistakes SR made and that’s one of the things that wins you games.

Yeah I’d 100% agree with you, again like I said I haven’t watched much Guild X but from what I’ve seen here today I’d see teams like G2 and C9W just ripping them apart, I think nerve’s definitely got the better of them here, especially on Icebox, they looked super under-prepped for it, but keen to see TL play now.

You’d think in 2022 with everyone preaching about things like mental health and what not you’d see people be a little nicer to eachother. We have our first ever GC International LAN and all the bigots come out. Come on, do better, be better.

Yeah I noticed that too, I haven’t really watched much of SR but watching her lurk EVERY round on ALL maps made me question why? Especially when sometimes it’s the lurks that are actually hurting them. Oh my I literally did the same thing!! The lockdown was going off and I’m like “WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!! NO DONT REZ!!!” I will say though atleast on their defence Shopify did look a lot better on Icebox, I liked how they structured it.

Huge yikes man, at least it’s just your throw away alt account!

Yeah I guess, I respect it, honestly though they were going to go for the knife once they swung haha

Yeah I guess, I respect it, honestly though they were going to go for the knife once they swung haha

Nah that ult was like not good at all, cmon neow.

Very true but a lot of GC teams haven’t been close to C9W, no team in NA has to be fair. I think you’re right though, some of bENITA’s decision making sometimes is very questionable especially for someone who’s playing smokes. KP is the IGL right?

Yeah very true. Although Shopify is looking REALLY good on this map. They seem really comfortable on Icebox, this is the first tonight we’ve seen them look really direct in their approach.

Seems asif they’re just struggling hard to even read the game. There was a round where Smurfette had knifes and just dashed onto A site with only a flash no smoke nothing just straight dashed and Lorri turned and killed her? Her team wasn’t even up sewers yet.. individually the players of Guild X are suuuper sharp though

This is the sloppiest Valorant I think I’ve ever witnessed, both teams look like they’re struggling to read eachother and it’s super on the fly calling.

Honestly I agree with you. G2 looked clinical yesterday against X10S and even C9W but Guild X looks terrible here, how did G2 lose to this team? They’re so sloppy.

I dunno why people dick ride Guild X here so much, they look so sloppy.

Classic : RGX (shit is broken trust, fuck ur prime)
Shorty : Oni or Prelude
Frenzy : Glitchpop (literally buy it over sherrifs on ecos)
Ghost : Sovereign or Recon
Sheriff : Ion
Stinger : Sovereign
Spectre : Recon or BlastX
Bucky : Prime
Judge : Glitchpop
Bulldog : Glitchpop or Zedd
Guardian : Prime is OP
Phantom : Recon (most satisfying gun to get multi kills with)
Vandal : Prelude To Chaos (default varient)
Marshal : Sovereign or Gaia's
Operator : Forsaken or Origin in white
Ares : Singularity
Odin : BlastX (who doesnt wanna shoot nerf bullets???)

Yeah I think the Raze pick is what somewhat counters that triple senti comp. If played right it can really break down a structured defence and G2 definitely prepped heavy into this game and knew what to do against them. Yeah I think the game against C9W will be a huge test, although it’s really hard to call right now, C9W is definitely one of those teams where they will drag themselves out of it if the going gets tough, I don’t know enough about G2 to say the same but from what I’ve seen now I’m liking it.

Yeah G2 read that game perfectly, the holding onto utility too on defence walling late and stuff really just shows you how well they’re reading what the enemy is trying to do. I do agree with them breaking the util and leaving the lurks late, but X10 just seemed to not have an answer to them breaking the util, they were kinda just allowed to do it and weren’t punishing G2 for breaking it, if you know that’s what they’re going to do maybe try punish them for trying to break the util, or if you’re going to allow them to break the util take space somewhere else on the map you know will put G2 in an uncomfortable situation. Seems as if nerves is what got the better of them.

Yeah I think if you’re running that 3 sentinels comp you need to be having a better half than 4-8, attk is going to be significantly harder. Lurks really shouldn’t have been happening especially with 3 Sentinels, allows you to have a lot of map control on areas you don’t need to put players on to watch just in the general area. G2 playing insanely well.

Mimi is currently casting and I will say she’s quite good, she’s good for a change, but I feel like she needs a better caster to build abit more chem with, I feel like this current caster doesn’t quite fit well with her in my opinion.

This fr a bait though right? Like surely you realise why they keep locking/deleting threads about them…

How is what he said racist? He’s just calling the region bad in his opinion, I don’t see how he’s targeting a race and saying anything disrespectful about said race?

They do but in previous times haven’t performed well, although I will say I think if they were to go through the main circuit now they could make a decent run. They seem to actually have a lot of really good fundamentals and really solid strats behind them. I’ve been a fan of C9W for awhile and it seems like they literally keep improving time after time they’ve obviously been dominate in the domestic GC scene for awhile now but honestly I think they could give a few teams a decent run for their money with the way they’ve been playing more recently.

Romi showed some guts on Haven which was good to see, but I’m not sure if it was nerves, they looked to be completely out-classed on Ascent and although they started well on Haven when C9W got on a roll they didn’t quite have the answer and fell into the hands of C9W a lot of rounds. I thought this series would have been a lot closer but C9W looking in some REAL form right now.

Honestly seems like a really good idea on paper till you get down to the finer details then it kinda doesn't look all that good.

Yeah they made a video a while back when they were denied into the partnership program that they would be fielding a Ascension League team so I'm interested to see who they put on it to be fair. I think NiSMO is a good pick up but i'd be surprised if they kept Rossy.

Absolutely keen to see this roster is action next year. Felt for awhile Liquid was a solid team that was qualling for events and stuff but always either having dissapointing results or just falling short. I think roster change was needed and who they've brought in to replace Scream and Nivera looks insane on paper.

I'd say TL has come out of it with the better hand in my opinion. Kinda sucks to see that TL roster split but I think it was time they made some pretty big changes, I like who they've picked up too. Team Liquid looking REAL strong for next year.

Yep just watched that clip, Jesus Christ I actually feel bad for the players… these rosters never work..

So all I can tell so far is Ethan MUST be starting roster because he was on stream awhile back stating that he wouldn’t 6th man for a team because it never works well in favour of the 6th man. So where does that leave c0m? Is c0m the 6th? This whole roster is a shit show if I’m honest…

Yeah I ended up doing a bit of a look into it and you're right, Kaplan is the Strategic Coach. Be interesting to see who they've picked up. I'm pretty keen to see this new SEN roster play, I have alot of good feelings about it.

Oh yeah thats true you make a fair point, I just assumed the new recruit was an analyst or something.
