unlucky bro, all good though just 1 more win

congratulations my friend!

a better example would be Surf lmao rank 8 and 2-0's OpTic in his first international tournament. kid's cracked.

agree. I think Damwon, ONS, and WGS could do well if they were in the APAC VCT ngl, considering they were close against each other, ONS beat DRX, and WGS almost did the same too.

and in JP, CR could do well too imo.

thoughts?

of course

this level of copium can only come from a TSM fan

ZETA and LOUD look really solid too. I think in terms of peak performance OpTic, LOUD, ZETA, and DRX were the strongest tactically and fundamentally. DRX looked the cleanest though, imo.
These guys can make any team look bad when they're popping off.

Paper Rex are good too don't get me wrong but their rounds are sloppy and chaotic compared to the stability and control of the other 4 teams. I think the reason they won so often is because they caught so many other teams off guard with how aggressive and cracked the players are. There's almost no actual midround when they play lol it's either they die or the enemy team dies.

kek, unfortunately it's not mine but yeah it does sound clean

nice clips boss but unfortunately i think nothing comes close to this: https://youtu.be/InBCtuz1Yw8

you want me to provide a screenshot or something?

i also have a yt channel for highlights where u can see radiant/immortal gunbuddies if the screenshot doesn't suffice.

thats insane, radiant is hardest to get on EU out of other servers right?

:o maybe

actually not cap. my first ever placement rank was p3 too.

Ranks, everybody? Kind of curious to see how good this forum is at the game.

I'll start: imm2

we'll see this next match.

how is it copium

DRX beat ZETA 26-5 in their first meetup, TL didn't.

On the rematch, DRX got past double digits on 2 maps and lost 11-13 on Icebox.

Liquid came close to neither of this.

Round differential doesn't mean anything. DRX beat OpTic based on round differential.

Look at the scoreline. It's very obvious that DRX had closer maps than TL.

edit: ok i cant take a guy who said
"liquid is not even supposed to be here
and they are saving strats for champions. nobody cares about mickey mouse masters"
seriously

thanks.

and yeah you don't need to be a Liquid stan to see that they were better than G2, who sucked, and Fnatic, who went out in groups lol.

Plus they did fare decently against LOUD.

PRX had a great run wdym

Can't make that argument because if you actually watched the DRX/ZETA 1st game you'd realise ZETA was still doing good lol yeah they got better during the tournament but it wasn't a huuuge jump.

Plus you could say DRX were mental boomed because of the OpTic loss.

Plus in Liquid's case you could say ZETA was tired because they'd been on a fucked schedule.

And round difference doesn't matter because TL got clearly dominated by ZETA on 2 maps and couldn't even take double-digit rounds, whereas DRX only got dominated on 1 (if we're talking about the rematch)

Yeah, as a neutral when I watched Liquid games they were the best performing EU team at the event but they were also far from even touching teams like OpTic.

fax

u forgot the opening game DRX vs ZETA tho
13-2
13-3

and while it might seem biased I think I can confidently say that had DRX matched up with Liquid in this tournament they would have won.

update: they didn't

true. he hardcarries with the hopium though hes like the sergio ramos of vlr you want him on ur side but prob hate him when hes not

why korean lol Laz said DRX scrims and practices helped get ZETA to where they are now

tonyhart is the koreanoverlord of sea bro
not as likeable tho personally

nvm

good looking, good at games, polite, how can you hate him?

He looks so confident and happy! It hurts that he knocked out DRX but I can't help but cheer for him, let's go ZETA!

this is next level crazy copium take, respectfully

LMFAO WHY DO PEOPLE SEE YOUR USERNAME AND STILL BELIEVE YOU HAHAHA

Nah, it's human behaviour. I've never desk slammed but I obviously don't feel as passionate about gaming as Victor.

i'm gonna go against the grain and say Zeta 2-0 PRX

LMAO TRUE THOUGH

legendary. Brazil keeps getting W.
one for each L in LLL
W=win the match
W=zombs steps down
W=LOUD win the event(?)

he is human man its all good.

APAC consists of SEA/SA/OCE/KR/JP. None of these regions ever won an event so we keep our mouths shut for the most part. At least JP and KR do, there are some toxic SEA fans but overall the vibes are good! Every region has their good eggs though :)

OpTic are infamous for trashtalking even in scrims. Their coach lowkey trashtalked in that interview too lmao

actually racist lmfao the majority of racist fans here seem to be NA/EU from my experience

true! everyone reacts differently and just because other people did well doesnt mean trent should have done well too. we are all different.

national holiday for Brazilian fans lmfao

he's cracked

I haven't seen a single NA fan make these threads when we lost, so I don't see why anyone deserves to treat you guys differently.

Treat others how you expect to be treated. For the most part DRX got a lot of respect from the non-NA users here even though they lost because most of the Korean fans have been decently respectful to every region (minus KoreanOverlord lmfaooo) but NA fans have been pretty toxic to other regions, especially BR, so don't expect mercy lol.

By the way, there is a reply feature (and if you are rate limited your posts won't be sent as replies they end up being new comments instead)

these guys have been hard rooting for LOUD to the point where they were clowned on by almost everyone else, respect to them for sticking to their guns and the results show it. happy for you guys!

true man i didnt see NA fans saying this when OpTic won vs XERXIA or DRX lol

Bro I'm just saying where were you guys when DRX lost to OpTic?

DRX 37-36 OpTic

doesn't mean anything bro...
