Grand Final at Spark Arena (Auckland) 6/9/24 -> New Zealand Qualifier -> Japanese Qualifier Phase 3 -> Japanese Qualifier -> APAC Play-In -> Red Bull Home Ground (Berlin).

Everyone in EMEA really wants to join Americas/Pacific/China to win trophy huh. 0 trophy year changed them that much.
move to korea, play on KR server. Cheating/hacking video game in korea = going to jail. You'll be safe there.
he does cover every region quite well with his news.
Americas and Pacific wins masters, China wins Champs. Damn EMEA 0 trophy year with so many RFA now.
First team to win Champs and Worlds: EDG
CN: 1
channel also made a movie for GenG masters win as well. Thanks for showing the channel.
Americas and "international" are day and night. Americas uses different spelling, doesn't use metric system like the rest of the world. EMEA and Asia (Pacific & China) are very used to accepting different cultures and language in their continent, americas very used to being one dimensional.
Saya and Xeta are close to NA players, but only because they have been somewhat "americanised" oh wait AmericaniZed.
VCT Pacific teams can now get Mongolian players without counting it as import (previously Turkey EMEA).
Breach - s1mon
Chamber - Xccurate
Cypher - CHICHOO
prob won't do anything afterwards
EDG will still win VCT China for years to come, that's something Acend can't consistently do. EDG will still consistently qual to every single international turney for years to come, that's better than teams that only qual to 1 or 2 in a year. could do.
Disagree with TH being 2nd, the top 3 should ALWAYS prioritise international winners:
performance/results indicator should always be based on:
trophy for winning internationals -> trophy for winning regionals -> no of successful qual to international turney.
not having a trophy to show for just means you're always be inferior with nothing to show. Reason of TH > LEV/FNC is because TH made all 3 international turney.
who's the coach? without proper coach this same roster won't make internationals again.
unsure, but might be related to crows fracture vs T1.
Similar to #16 EDG from 2022 East Asia LCQ, converted from CR (allat + rant).
CR:
I followed CR from 2019 from fortnite takamuramm -> ruri. Fast forward to valorant I watched First Strike Japan 2020 after they signed bakemon core + neth from blackbird ignis + trial intr0 (guy played for 11 teams now). The rivalry of CR + Absolute jupiter was amazing back then. After CR loss in champs 21, they obtain 3 players of the talented northeption LCQ roster (seoldam, astell, meiy, sugarz3ro, TENNN). Astell and meiy joins main roster whilst SEOLDAM (korean jett) joins as a STREAMER playing apex all the time. Bazzi was removed start of 2022 and munchkin left after stage 1. With astell the 1 import, surely they finally add Seoldam to the roster right? They added popogachi, neth nepotism teammate from blackbird ignis that got disbanded from 2021......while Seoldam during the importance of stage 2 was ATTENDING AND COMPETING ON APEX SHOWMATCHES ONLINE AND ON LAN. CR on 2022 too focused on apex with Ras and completely neglect their valo roster after beating Absolute jupiter in 2021 and making internarionals. ZETA and Northeption made the turney in 2022 and it shows lack of care CR did for their valo roster....
EDG
East Asia LCQ on 12th August had 3 matches, 12pm, 2:30pm and 4:30pm. CR played low bracket elimination against On2S (bazzi on this team), rather than being upset CR eliminated, I was glad Bazzi got his revenge on this team for releasing him. 4:30pm match was EDG vs Northeption, winner goes to Grand FInal. EDG won 1st map and as for map 2, the score goes to 21-19. The way of EDG play at the time was incredible, aim on point, great team play and always trading converting to man advantage. It was like watching army of ants with amazing coordination. After CR elimination on game 1, without any hesitation what so ever I start supporting EDG that day and been supporting since.
additional note: when seoldam signed to DFM, I was a massive hater hoping he perform bad for choosing apex over valo at the time. He said he was taking break from competing, but he was playing apex on LAN turney (showmatch). Seoldam performing bad in VCT 23 is an example of Karma, but eventually I do feel bad when he finally gets released. When he signed to riddle, I decided to support him again cause this time he works his way to VCT, not ditching CR and joins DFM as now I already support a new team EDG and feel no more attachment to CR. Hope riddle wins Ascension and look forward to seeing him back on VCT.
I support EDG, but for pacific I support T1.
2024 Champs EDG vs 2021 Masters Berlin Gambit.

Claiming it is just wrong, by unite is the support of asian countries together like PRX and EDG.
I feel like the only people who said that are people who live outside of asia. People who live in asia always have banter between neighbouring countries, but when asia is on international stage, we're always unite.
Euler for head coach. This guy brought Fennel GC to GC champs b4 (qual to international) and Fennel's top 2 Grand Final in split 2 only just losing to riddle. On his stream, he puts valoplant and minimap analysing over actual game. He can answer english questions on chat too. Guy has done his contribution to JP valo scene and deserve to be in VCT.
China on top!!!
from the looks of today EDG Lotus > TH Lotus
Don't really follow CS, but how many asian teams participating? Since timezone is good might consider following a team and give it a watch.
Pacific not holding showmatch? this will be the 1st.
think so, but if still can't up/downvote after 6 months, that's just horrible. I've seen many comments that I want to upvote but can't.
I think it's because you've been timed out TWICE. I can't upvote or downvote comments too.
Prep time advantage, coach get decent sleep. In EDG case, after they beat Leviatan KangKang and nobody went out to catch some crabs at the beach with their manager.
when EDG wins, number2_cNed_fan better be keeping receipts for this one.
to any americas bored no representation in the grand final needing entertainments.
watch ardiis stream -> support china -> become CN fans.
If JohnQT obtain Permanent Residence, he can be considered as Americas player.
Masters Bangkok - EDG vs PRX
Masters Toronto - EDG vs PRX
Champs Paris - EDG vs PRX
LEV main area of weakness is Lotus and it's gonna get rotated out anyway, so roster change is not really needed.
Southern Fried Chicken (pre sure have paprika etc)
Texas Barbecue (bbq rubs seasoning)
Crab Cake (pre sure this dish have old bay seasoning)
All this are thanks to valorant giving each region equal slots. Internationally competitive game.
#4 specifically said today. EDG's Lotus has been better than TH's Lotus throughout the turney. Today's TH Lotus gives them somewhat of a competitive leverage.
Global Contract Database listed JohnQT as NON RESIDENCE. He's an import. Can't get Patitek/Forsaken/D4vai.
Can't wait for sunset, both teams are great in that map.
EDG beat LEV 13-4 it's 1 round difference from TH.
