wait i totally made that up to get your hopes high

but im sad drx lost, its sad to see one of the best teams being called overhyped just like that, but i am also happy ange1 proved haters wrong and actually kept his word unlike bcj

i heard ange1 is going to rebel in grand finals with ukraine flag but sure

weirdly both emea teams, lost to upper finalists and finished 8th and drx lost to optic and finished 6th again

told you they were the dark horses, all teams are so flashy and have something hype for them no one rly noticed fpx (guild were the dark horses before this and xerxia before)

fpx played no duelist on ascent before this (they played chamber before) and they were completely fine, they played jett to switch up stuff but you dont NEED a duelist

i cant wait to come back to this

prx>fnatic>fpx>prx
does this make sense
in na 100t defeats the guard the guard defeats tsm tsm defeats 100t
i think fpx bind is different enough to counter prx

i still think their best map is haven but sure

no, suygetsu not playing was why they banned bind, i think their gameplan is really really specific for a sub to understand and on a normal day they would always ban icebox

no hate to paper rex i think they will defeat fpx in a b03 but i think fpx is better on bind than paper rex, its a very hot take but if you look at their bind, its not flashy but its very different, a kayo can really change how prx plays and even hinder it, if you see their games, youll know theyre even comfortable 4 stacking sites and i think for prx chaos to work they really need to find holes in their defense, so far the only hole i think is their a short hold but prx doesnt play viper so it doesnt matter

still no, its way more complicated than that, you should ideally go map wise and always consider then probability that prx goes through lowers, which is a bo5 its way more complicated

thats,,, thats not how math works

i feel like drx and fpx can defeat them on bind but thats something we wont be seeing, i would kill for a prx vs fpx game tho, pure chaos

just make shit up ?!?!?! everyone loves optic and knows theyre amazing and they definitely talk about it, yay is literally called the best player on earth too. remove the i from the biased and you have a W post

i think it was because of the cypher pick, guild was more confident in site holds and there was way less chaos and they could isolate yoru from the team much better, mostly also coz breeze is guilds best map and they have eu experience

i like twice too!

i hope ange1 doesnt quit yoru tbh

they're more of underdogs than a dark horse, people want them to win for a good underdog run, a dark horse is a team slept on and rn i think its fpx

guild are also out

i definitely dont, i think they're equally matched, im on m3c hopium and its a prediction tbh

yes but they cant have both, net chamber looked fine tbh pls dont let him op on neon and raze.

oh yes definitely, they were one misplaced kj molly away from defeating xset and qualing, what happened absolutely sucked and yes they totally still have it in them, the role swap sucked tho and they need to decide if they want saya player to play chamber or play aggressive entry like neon fast.

actual dark horse contender?

as a team yes, maybe not aim wise, but team secret throws some pretty winnable rounds, i watched that game, it snowballed more than ts playing well

ykw ill be happy to see tgrd win, i see them losing to faze W key gaming but yes theyre a top 3 team in lcq for sure

actual rare W from you?

TRUE, the ascent game was back and forth and honestly so funny, forsaken literally walked through sage slows to ego them and it even worked, jingg missed his ult 4 times but also w keyed the fuck out of the game, alfajer wouldve actually won them a round if he didnt ego after getting 3 and holy shit boasters brain is literally the largest thing ever his decisionmaking on a few rounds and clutches was INSANE

ill suck on your slurpy wurpy 2 inch dick daddy fuck your haters

no one will say this but midrounding is their issue, they rely so much on set executes but they fall off mid round, dont get me wrong its still pretty fucking great midrounding but making it better might be the push they need to become a top 1 team from a top 6 team

honestly couldve gone either way, loud totally deserved playoffs over teams like xset tbh, sucks that the format is so bad

thats literally horrible lmfao, no wonder they lost

i do use 2.6 hog and sleep well every night, what do you do

funnier than u if you think these are insults
ur fat get out of ur basement living withr ur parents broke ass, you think my friends would let a discord mod touch me

you would be crying for ur mother

lil bro nt tho + asdfghjkl better

guild vs kru, from mazino W keying to guild losing to time (again) and then russ having his anime moment in OT to save guild, i was fucking sweating.
optic vs loud, heartbreaking game btw but it was so hypee
fpx vs xerxia- xerxia played haven so fast the game was wild, from a pistol round ange1 3k into crws 4k with frenzy to a force next round and fpx winning, it was so back and forth and fun to watch
and yes xset vs leviathan what was that round on haven, it was probably the best round in valorant history

ok first of all dart monkeys solos lev any day on earth, grimoire drops 300 on taco, all i see is delusion

the only difference is i wont make "optic washed na bad" posts even if they lose

so much for wanting all teams to play well, there is no winning here

the site is literally filled with the worst takes known to humans, these are literally the top 6 teams in the world rn, and on a good day anyone can beat the other, (yes, even lev, you guys just hate that theyre here over loud or kru but fail to give them credit) so can we stop region v region banter and just enjoy some good valorant? all games are so hype and it only gets better. OPTIC VS PRX, we all wanted this since masters 1 dont lie, so is FPX VS DRX which is honestly a hype rematch but this site will reduce this to a drx overrated if they lose and emea washed if fpx loses. ALSO FNC VS LEV is going to be really close coz 2 styles will collide and its so hype, so just shut the fuck up and enjoy

same, i love both teams i want neither to lose

wow a region has players from its own region competing and they perform?? huge surprise

im gonna be back they say it takes time for milk to rot

na sucks without canadians

bro mistic came from a short, they even threw it across there still wasnt enough time

fair, but my prejudice rly comes from drx destroying everyone in kr

theyll win one game for sure and i wont have much hope unless they get some god tier analyst, they should rly get the staff from v1 and knights

oh then nvm no bbl turkish buff

its sad people are shitting on lev coz of loud and kru, theyre genuinely good

NA
C9-essily the strongest team, if they hadn't made vanity play initiator and curry smokes they wouldve probably been representing NA rn
dark horses- faze, 100t- do they finally have enough to fill up holes and go to a LAN?
Will get first rounded-SHOPIFY REBELLION , great team but i dont see them beating anyone
EU
M3C-i dont see a champions without m3c or nats
dark horses- guild liquid acend
guild has it in them to qualify, acend and liquid really depend on what 5th they find
first rounded-oglu- they play good as a team but lack any person willing to pop off, kinda like 100t in emea you cant forgo that
(bbl might pop off for turkish buff but very unlikely, also depends on 5th, if they get alfajer level someone for paura then maybe)
APAC
ONIC- better than secret, play good as a team and with better mental they can totally qualify
DARK HORSES-SECRET BLEED ORDER
secret is competent, bleed depends on 5th, order i think genuinely got fucked by bad groups and have it in them to make it.
FIRST ROUNDED-cerebrus esports, ive seen them play, its really not enough to compete w anyone in lcq
EAST ASIA
NORTHEMPTON, i dont see anyone beating them, they were just fucked by the fact that fpx and drx both world class teams were in their group
DARK HORSES-damwon, maybe lakia does something
FIRST ROUNDED-edward gaming, ive seen them play, its ok but not good enough to compete
LATAM/BR
KRU, NIP- easily the strongest teams coming into this
DARK HORSES- VK FURIA FUSION, furia depends on the 5th they get, VK are overshadowed by nip but are strong, fusion might defeat nip tbh
FIRST ROUNDED-EX LAZER- how did they beat kru once lmaoo

girl kissers
