Both are mega parasocial but undying support is cool and loyal at least, hating someone for literally no reason is chronically online and pathetic af.

It's only a matter of time before China dominates the game.

"Masters Reykjavik 2 = 2 sub"
He didn't, he just gave a valid excuse, you could just say that Victor had covid, though 2 last second subs is worse than a player with covid imo, either way FNS came out on top in 2022, but Boaster is on track to doing even better this year

why did you leave out champs 2021

Indeed, it should be fun either way hopefully.

That is not bad, but the thing is FNS made only top 3 last year, whether or not you think it was deserved or not is up to you, but the fact is that his team was the most consistent last year. Boaster has a chance to beat that this year by only getting first and clean sweeping.

Maybe its misplaced but I have hope for 100T, they almost won but choked a 12-9 lead last time. Also, SEN Losing would be the funnier outcome.

Genuine question what do you guys think the actual odds are, trolling aside?
I say 60/40 for SEN to win.

the same outcome as Loud, all 3 teams are in the same boat, and all 3 will probably be way stronger at champions hopefully.

I like how no one has hope for 100T beating SEN.

you are typing like an NA user.

Look at Loud fans, after Loud bombed out without even coming close to winning a map at Tokyo you have not seen any say anything. Same with DRX who had arguably their worst performance (not placement) ever. All their fans are quiet now and hoping they come back stronger. Be like them, more hope less cope. I hope that all 3 of these teams give very strong performances at champions.

tbf NA users do the same thing with EMEA, all a bunch of hypocrites.

I miss the old SEN and 100T 2021 rivalry. It was pretty one-sided but was always fun.

I know no one on this site cares about logic or reason, but please read the other comments I made.

True, when I said strongest I meant throughout the game's history since they have the most trophies. I said that only Fnatic is beating other teams internationally and that on average Americas is stronger rn, but anything could happen at champs. We shall see

It's mostly the fans, almost all the players are chill and likable. The fans are just so obnoxious that you just do not want to be associated with that team. It is not exclusive to NA, we all know how some EU fans are, but It's seen more in NA.

Big facts EMEA is proven to be the strongest region, but it is clear rn that FNC is the only team beating other regions, hopefully, champs is different. NA is the one that is on mad cope rn but it goes both ways.

From what I have seen NA is more toxic, that could be it, but it also could be because they just like the emea teams more.

Regional banter is fun and all and FNC is clearly number 1 but don't be delusional now. You know Americas is not that bad and is stronger on average.

No idea, I can't think of any team lacking a decent enough igl in tier 1 or ones that would make any changes. t2 maybe he could go to SR.

"but Ukraine isn't technically CIS"

the main problem I see is that it leads to a much longer off-season, also Champs is more brutal for lcq teams since they have less prep time.

Ascension for all 3 leagues is starting less than a week after masters and right after there is lcq and right after is champs. Do you guys think events should be spaced out more?

Yeah keep crying nerd

NA is the strongest region in Valorant and has the most depth and you’re crying and shitting yourself over 1 team from another region

Change flag to some 3rd country you’re actually from and cope realistically

The kid is allergic to facts let him keep being a clown for us to laugh at

The only one crying and coping here is you buddy, but keep living in your own delusion and making a fool out of yourself.

tf you mean fair b05, literally every team that came from the upper bracket got both map bans in the Grand finals last year, and it wasn't even EG first international event. The coping is crazy, just say gg go next Americas will win the next one.

That man Stan has more teams then he knows what to do with, probably already forgot about the Nuggets win.

It's 1 bad tournament. They lost to 2 good teams. Remember what happened to Loud last year and how they won champs after coming in last at Denmark, and Env/optic at champs getting 12th. It happens they will maybe probably bounce back as they are still a very good team.

I think LeBron should be the mvp

I hope C9/FUR/LEV wins LCQ

The upper bracket should have some advantage. No one had a problem with it when LOUD had it and won champs, 2/4 maps were close but LOUD still won and was considered to be the best. The same applies here. You can say what you're saying about every 13-11 but you are just blinded by hate for FNC for whatever reason. Keep coping

simply have hope, more hopium less copium.

If they can only play one map then why did they only lose fracture and win literally every other map they played, they did not even sit in corners. You are literally just making stuff up. At least be creative with the copes.

"Not like they're carrying some T7 bot IGL and ratting in corners all game and can only play one map."

The lack of self-awareness goes crazy

will you stop coping if APAC wins?

I will keep saying regions mean nothing, but EMEA can talk the most for now since they have won the most and are currently on top. The only ones coping rn are NA, we will see how it is once Champions is over. I hope APAC wins so then no one can say anything about NA or EMEA.

They are now coping the same way EMEA did when Optic won Iceland 2022. The amount of copium in all of NA and EMEA is greater than the entire world's oil supply.

A battle between either one of EG, FUT, and T1 would go off, all three teams have similar stories, I think fut is a bit better than the others but anything can happen (idc about Americas vs EMEA or APAC)

The sooner people realize regions don't matter, the better.

Are all 3 regional trophies the same, apart from the little text at the bottom? In LoL all league trophies are very different and distinct.

for real?? what kind of pizza you getting?

you didn't give a proper answer

Why those 2, because their teams are winning?

who else would be on your fraud list

He already beat Loud though, why do you hate him so much did he kill your family or something

I wouldn't really call single elim a show format, it's brutal yes, but the winning team still had to win 5 in a row and 2 bo5s to come out on top and it shows who the best at adapting to a new meta. If the people who created the game and main circuit count it as a major then it is one.
Idrc who wins, I just like seeing upsets but I know it can be annoying when people keep bringing up past events but let them talk, whatever team you like can win the next one and it can be your turn.

Something being enjoyable is subjective, but I still think the only time Pearl was fun to watch was when PRX played it at champs 22 after that it just became a spam fest, that map has got to go.

Riot does consider it a major, A lot of pros do as well. Also if you're gonna say lock-in does not count because it was for show, then by that logic, you also should not count masters since it's a glorified qualifier for champs.
