Team coms in mandarin except for autumn however all the Chinese players understand English, sometimes Berlin will translate for autumn

smartest European I fear

bro not again...

nah all good glad too see FPX back in form, was worried after stage 2

FPX PLEASE BRO IM BEGGING 😭😭😭

GE should make viet and OCE super team me thinks

I’d love if they tried it but more likely then not we’d be lucky to get an off season event

as much as i'd love Sydney it just wont happen here, no franchise team + plus csgo is much bigger here in terms of esports

I agree tournaments in general are impossible to predict, I just do pick ems and power rankings for a little bit of fun and don't take them too seriously, I'm not gonna get upset/mad at whatever team wins it because they deserve it.

this is actually so true

im not sure why people are so down on naos? they were one map away from the grand final last year and they've only gotten better since then in my opinion

I've watched some more SPG after I posted this and I agree I should've put them a little higher (probably 4 or 5). I like how they're pushing the meta forward but like i said in the post 4-7 is completely interchangeable in my opinion.

tbh it's just impressive to hate on something this long

idk feel like korea last ascension fell short and don't think this roster is a big upgrade

1. BOOM Esports - Really strong core that has been playing together for years and were pretty close last year except that choke to bleed on haven
2. Full Sense - pretty much same reason as boom, solid veteran talent and cracked young players like johnolsen and leviathan should go crazy
3. DSG - probably the most cracked team in terms of mechanics, worried that they won't be able to run over the top talent at this tourney with double duelist every map

4. RIDDLE ORDER - incredible run from them in split 2, however I do think japan tier 2 is not as strong compared to some other regions (home crowd buff tho)
5. NAOS - (assuming they win) been very dominant in their region all year and had a good showing at last years ascension
6. SIN PRISA GAMING - extremely dominant showing from them in split 2 however other then persia not too familiar with their talent
7. JFT - They play simple yet effective valorant however incorporating iso into most maps could be their biggest strength or weakness. murza and andy cracked aimers

8. Revenant Esports - IMO the best talent SA has sent to an international they should get their win this event but not much else
9. Rapid Lofi - excited too see some new talent coming out Vietnam however seems like some inexperienced players
10. Oblivion Force - They kinda got here by default since ONE team threw by running a 7 man roster or something but still players like coconut and uta should hold their own

Overall take this with a grain of salt as I'm unable to watch every single one of these teams play all their matches. I really think 1-3 and 4-7 could be in any order that's how close I think these teams are. Just wanna see a competitive and fun tourney :D (also wanted to add I really hate this years format, last years was perfect why'd they change it ?)

FPseX

autumn da 🐐 🚫🧢

smoking that 100T pack #ripbozo #packwatch 🚬🚬

just got off the phone to Mr FPX (real person) and he told me that they are still saving strats until champs. So there's nothing to worry about and FPX are STILL winning champs #fpxfighting #imnotcoping

she like the main reason I stopped playing the game, everyone that played her was a smug dork

CCG GO GO !!!

murza and andy WILL be crankin 90's on the rest of ascension #imbrickedupforandy 🔥🔥

jft good but most likely AIC will represent us, as for jjh just a bad tourney ig

sinaway vs andy is godzilla vs kong. game ends in a draw.

yea that is a big plus but still love these boys and sad to them exit so early

what a terrible day for rain...

KZ ANDY drops 110

feta next up fr

CCG GO GO

So based king 👑

Tixx rlly didn’t say anything that bad to warrant this response. Just a little bit of trash talk, grow up.

this is hard i fw this heavy

can I ask how you would split the regions then and slot distribution for ascension ? genuinely curious

I'd actually love to see this in emea bc I genuinely have NO clue what's happening in the tier 2 scene over there

i know riot isn't the smartest company but there's just no chance they only give sea 2 slots I'm pretty sure some random on twitter said that and everyone is going with it and freaking out 🤷‍♂️

i'm open to discussion but I feel like this creates a much more exciting league with better match ups and rivalry's. Because bffr for a minute NOBODY wants to see a team like Naos, full sense or boom just dominant like 4 free agent teams in a split. It also makes it so much easier for casual viewers to keep with APAC as a whole (promising new talent and potential ascension winners)

if you get away with "re-peaking with an opp" and "jiggle peaking with a pistol" your playing in Antarctician servers against penguins

diamond 3 WAS like 1/2 games of ascendent :/

wow this is really wrong

iso has the most disgustingly o.p. gimmick that just runs every server and i know val has always been toxic but fuck me 4/6 games today a team mate would get tilted in the first 5 rounds and throw the game/afk. fuck this shit game elden ring dlc comes out in a couple of hours

feta always carry me in TDM, truly OCE saviour !!!

OCE clears i fear, maybe NA will catch up one year 🥱🥱

hyped to watch you play goat 🐐🔥

either one of the pacific teams or EDG

absolute HEART WRETCHING loss but can't help be so proud of them, their improvement from last masters is so amazing. Feels like if we fixed up some of massive "throw rounds" we'd truly be a solid top 8 team. Also FPX is top 3 team to watch in terms of entertainment, insane mechanics, wacky comps and all the players having great personalities. so excited to watch the boys at champs. ggs team heretics <3

easily, will go down in val history

so proud of the boys but yea im so fucking sad bro...

i know, so proud of the boys just wish we could make the greatest comeback ever

man what a game but im so sad

i had three heart attacks watching that but we fucking did it

LFG FPX !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RAHHHHH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🦅🔥 🦅🔥 🦅🔥 🦅🔥 🦅🔥 🦅🔥 🦅🔥 🦅🔥 🦅🔥 🦅🔥 🦅🔥
