I agree those are better choices, but the yay option is interesting.

I do think that if the chemistry is right, getting yay could be very good

the open qual is today: https://liquipedia.net/valorant/Red_Bull/Home_Ground/5/Qualifier/North_America/Open_Qualifier

the playins are the 30th, although idk wait the games today are streamed

I’m pretty sure it’s like 10% of the 60 million so like 6 million if I’m not mistaken

I mean it’s random, had all teams from one region been first seed or second seed, this would not have been possible.

On the bright side though, after the first round, pretty much all the matchups will be 2 different regions

Exactly, basically no one expects them to make it out, if they do it’s great, if they don’t, they can just blame it on the group of death

idk about anyone,, but get oderus as coach and Aproto in his place, that would be very good i think

honestly when they reworked it before taking it out, i feel like the map got much more interesting.
i do agree that postplant meta i kinda lame

based.

Let’s gooooo!! Thank god bro, when it got to OT, I was so scared, I’m so happy they made it through

"G2: -JonahP" this might just be the dumbest thing I have seen on this website, and that says a lot

bro all these posts about primmie is like trying to compare Lamine Yamal to Messi, it makes no sense.

primmie is very good but even mechanically, we will need a MUCH bigger sample size to even put his name in the conversation with aspas.

On east coast the first game is at 4am (which is my time), for west coast the first game is at 1am.

4am is rough but not impossible, I’m just gonna wake up early when a team I wanna watch plays, but for west coast, it’s fucked, I mean the games are in the middle of the night.

Masterclass for you guys, for NA it’s about a bad as it gets. I’m not complaining though, time zones are tricky, there is no way to have the times be good for everyone.

idk about saving stats, but that game is gonna be interesting for sure. I hope M80 wins, although I do like mada

fuck man 😳

Yeah they were so invincible that they won ascension last year. They were so good that now they play in tier1 and they qualified for Champs…
Oh wait…

Yeah honestly if they don’t get a more flexible duelist, they really should copy 2023 EG, and put s0m on the jawg roles.

Idk how s0m’s raze would look like (cause he hasn’t played duelist in a while) but they would just need him to be agressive, because we know demon1 won’t be

i think they had the deadlock as an easily replaceable agent, like they did on Lotus by replacing it with a Breach. My guess is they already have other comps for Bind and ascent, but I do agree that the Deadlock on Ascent has been a proven good pick so they should keep it.

bro Russia, Turkey, USA, Canada, Korea would be the best teams imo

(i know i am bias, but objectively, Canada would have at least a pretty good team)

exactly, they are doing great with him they really shouldnt change anything.

it would be interesting to see if they got better with a superstar duelist, or worse

Damn that’s crazy, I though I had a good take

Objectively G2 is much more "boring" to watch than a team like PRX.

But honestly if you like to watch the mini-map, and understand how the game works, you can definitely enjoy watching them.

He wasn’t feeling it on op yesterday, but we’ve seen him be way better. I just wish he would’ve just gave up on it instead of forcing it.

They could also have tenz op if zekken is missing. I don’t think it’s that big of a deal though zekken just had a bad op day.

Sure

mada is also canadian btw

I honestly think the problem are the people tweeting about it. These analysts have been doing this all year, its their job. They pretty much always guess about the team enviroment and talk about it. They did it with LEV, saying that they were gonna implode, and the same with NRG. The 100t boys are really over reacting. Im not saying Dryad was right, but why are they getting so butthurt about it

yeah from what i understand, if LEV win a single game in playoffs SEN are qualified, even if they lose to 100t

Thanks

Does anyone know what the tiebreaker for champs points is?

For example if 100t beat SEN and loses out, they both have 12 points, so who goes to champs at that point?

My best guess is that it’s head-to-head from the regular season that comes first but idk

I agree

They are and I’m not gonna pretend like they dominated NRG and KRU, but the 13-8 they had lost both pistols so it wasn’t that close, same thing with the 13-10 against KRU

They will maybe get net or something, but Zander might igl again, he’s done it before

They will most likely make playoffs. Also do you realize they lost 13/11, 13/11, after not only losing all 4 pistols and getting ecoed twice on sunset. They are fine

Deal 🤝

Not only that, 100t have all the vods they could ever want on SEN, and they’ve been preparing for this game for the past month. It would be a disaster for 100t if they lost to SEN when they are even taking a week off rn

Ok

Bro pls. Read the message before saying nonsense. Of course everyone played well, TenZ wasn’t the only reason they won. But arguing that a team that played well should change a player for literally no reason makes no sense at all

You do realize that it is really not that simple? Chemistry, practice, comms, those are all things that this starting 5 have worked on all offseason (to great success might I add). Changing the team right before the season IS really risky. I don’t understand how you could even argue otherwise

Ok so SEN actually plays well for the first time in over two years, and the most logical answer to that is to replace someone on the team. Got it!

True but he’s playing with huynh, he’s not on m80, unless I’m wrong

Wait I don’t think that’s m80, that just looks like Koala is playing with friends no?

I really want eeiu on 100t, how do you know it’s him, or are you more guessing?

True that does go hard

I’m confused, if 99% of people disagree with his decision and give good contrepoints, should that not mean something?
