Problem with G2 is that they've proven to be weak in a best of 5 series. LEV could crumble at any point. I see SEN and DRX making a deep run depending who wins their upcoming match. I'm hoping for a DRX win tbh.

this post actually makes no sense and is blatant 'whataboutism' kek

Okay but that sounds reasonable

12-5 keke

Parasocial thread

Nah people in this thread don't watch the games. Forsaken on initiator isn't that great. His Sova and Breach are objectively not very good. Seems to be fine on Kayo. He'd be a poor replacement for Lakia I think. Not to say he's a worse player, but for that role I don't think he's the right choice.

DRX vs SEN is the most important match. Will determine everything. I'm predicting the DRX miracle run.

This was the worst draw for Trace. They literally can't beat EDG. It's like a mental block for them. If they did manage to beat EDG I could legit see a way for Trace getting to the grand final (depending on the results of the other quarterfinal matches).

j1ngg always performs in big matches, he wins tonight

.

Honestly I could see Trace beating SEN and making top 4. It's not hard to picture right now.

I don't think they were the favorites, a top 3-4 team on everyones list though. They farmed regionally and won Stage 2 without much in their way. But winning a stage doesn't mean shit once you're at Champs and we should stop being fooled by it.

Now that GENG and possibly FNC are out, who is the favorite to win? Are we actually going to see a h0r0t0cs victory?

Lakia has always gotten hate. He improved after Madrid but he's back to choking again. He's objectively the worst player on the team and it's very easy to put all the blame of a loss on the worst player (not what I'm doing, but that's how fans are).

the l0ki0 of v0l0r0nt

Is xccurate really considered an above average igl in Pacific? I thought he was known for his mechanics, not igling.

Poach players from Made in Thailand at this point lol

BerLIN (IGL)
ZmjjKK (Duelist)
Smoggy (Controller/Flex)
AAAAY (Initiator)
Yuicaw (Sentinel)

6th man: Chichoo or FengF
HC: Destroyer
Would love to add Kai but that's too many cooks in the kitchen. He's a good sentinel but he's best on duelist, and he's #2 Jett behind KK

I feel like gaming laptops die after a couple years. I've had several mid priced gaming laptops fall apart (keyboard just starts to break) and the graphic drivers just go to shit.

how did he know?

I can't lie, jinggg is back

They can't retake. Paper Rex is actually done.

true keke

That's not really good enough for them to be above Trace. Trace should have closed Ascent way sooner than they did, VIT gained momentum and went on to cook them on Sunset, but Trace were outright the better team on Bind. Close game overall but it's Trace's performance against LEV that was even stronger. That win cemented them as the clear #1 for Group C. Their teamplay is the best from the group.

If VIT convincingly LEV maybe you'll have an argument.

I genuinely think he's back in form

give j0nggg your energy

3/4 tbh dude is cooking

kai owns most players so not a fair comparison

Honestly Secret's new roster is better than Talon's with the exception of Primmie's mechanical ability. But I think RRQ would've been the best bet.

Red flag. Adding something ridiculous and irrelevant like that makes your case look less serious, and makes it look like you might be trying to humiliate the person instead of seeking justice. It also takes attention away from the actual abuse part of the allegations so people could meme on the accused.

v0t0l0t0 will choke dont worry apac on top

You're just American but worse

What are the chances this is another Flashback situation and he's being crucified because someone who's lying? Has there been a statement from authorities or the org? Has she made reports to the police in the past? Physical abuse is serious but the Overwatch porn thing is straight up 'humiliation ritual' type shit. Why the hell is that relevant.

Chinese fans going to cook the shit out of FPX lmao they're gonna turn Nathan into the new After.

Tenz is the best in the world, you got that part right

Anyone saying NathanD is the best coach in China is absolutely wrong tbh. Destroyer from Trace has definitely taken the #1 spot. FPX coach didn't improve a single mistake from Shanghai and doubled down on the stupid shit. To be fair, FPX got the hardest draw imaginable but I'm talking about Split 2 to now as a whole.

FPX are a very good team, that's not the debate. It's not even a case of nerves. There's zero reason to change a comp that you know is very good and put your mechanical best player (who won you Lotus against GENG ffs) onto Viper.

I think there's a very slight possibility for them to win Champs but it largely depends on the results of other matches. Heretics and EDG would be their toughest competition I think lol. They can't beat EDG for the life of them and Heretics are basically the kryptonite of Chinese teams. Trace are interesting because they try to play pure valorant and not chaotic Chinese valorant. They're kind of comparable to G2 and GENG, a match against them would be very close I think and I could see Trace pulling the win out.

Not anymore, Trace kicked their ass for all of the second season and should've beaten them in their best of 5 series but choked crucial rounds on Haven.

Life on viper is actually sacrilegious, did they really change their comp because they lost to Heretics on it? It's a comp that's difficult to work around and still hasn't been tested against a lot of teams internationally. This new comp is just shit.

0sr0el?

I just want to see you win
I just want to love you
Why do you throw so hard? :c

Yoman not being signed to a tier 1 org is just a major waste of a talented igl

Flag, flair and name checks out with this comment KEK

Just not that interesting of a personality to have a wide audience really. He still makes his money at least.

NRG lose to BLG = Their legacy changed forever
LEV lose to Trace = Still the goats?
Make this make sense

Now that we know Aspas isn't better than China's 3rd best duelist, what does this mean for aspas's legacy on vlr?

America is shit so yeah

TE played excellent valorant really. They seem to have mastered the Deadlock comp better than nearly any other team. Their Ascent looked incredible. It's hard to really say LEV 'choked' when they just got flat out stomped on Ascent. Several of their players underperformed. Losing to classics in the 2nd round was embarrassing. Overrated team is overrated.
