T1 5th? You're crazy.

1. GenG
2. FPX
3. G2
4. LEV (3 and 4 interchangeable)
5. TH
6. FUT
7. T1
8. DRG

FPX nearly beat GenG (a top 4 team in Shanghai). TH got exposed badly by G2. FPX have looked better and more confident than TH so far. Gotta go with FPX 2-1 here.

DRG legit should've won this game 2-0, but they threw so many advantages and they seriously need to work on their pistols. Hope to see them improve. TZH is a hell of a player too.

GenG/FPX and FUT/FPX were the best games. GenG/LEV was underwhelming. Every map was a convincing win, not much back and forth.

Might actually have been the worst map I've seen all year. What the fuck was DRG doing? What the fuck was cNed and AtaKaptan doing? Jesus

Luke clears him

The worst part is that DRG would've won that fucking map if they didn't throw so many advantages, FUT are legit frauds

Tbf vo0k is unbelievable in China, but when you play against teams that understand how to play a map and not just 'China deathmatch' you can't really pop off, Chinese teams will need to learn how to play differently if they want to succeed in an international

Kai and FengF are my goats but Trace threw against EDG and somehow lost to DRG. It was a mess of a Split 1 for China. Fucking Nova made it to playoffs.

This. T1 needs a total rework. Xccurate is one of their better fraggers, no? He shouldn't be igl. Sign yoman, make him the igl. Bench Saya and iZu, sign Stew or Lilo for your duelist.

Ditch Saya pickup yoman? Fuck it I'm down

Trace lowkey didn't deserve it either. They threw so many matches in Split 1 and playoffs.

PRX, DRX, GenG and RRQ should be the 4 teams to make Champs, that would be interesting at least. T1 are a wash.

I think the girls find aspas hot

they need faker

Lucky to beat KRU 3 times in one year

DRX would've already won an international if it wasn't for prime LOUD and OpTic, sucks they'll never get that chance again

Every region is washed/not at their best right now

KRU got 2-0'd by G2, what are you even saying lmao

What happens if DRG somehow win? FPX vs DRG?

Looking back it's hard to believe the amount of people that hyped up T1 during kickoff, this is sad to see, they actually look washed

I like it when c0m throws

burger trolling kek

We'll return to this question after the matches today

susanto come, cook up a 5 course meal pls

FPX beat FUT (step one complete)
DRG beat FUT
FPX beat TH
EDG or FPX beat FNC
If all or most of this happens, then yes China will officially surpass EMEA in their current form

If TH get eliminated and FUT lose to DRG, how will you go on with the rest of your lives?

If rematches aren't allowed I'd guess they can beat:
Team Heretics? Probably. They looked really poor against G2.
LEV? Unsure. Depends who is fragging aside from Aspas. Meanwhile Ayy, Berlin, Autumn and Life are all capable of dropping a 30 bomb.
T1? Absolutely. Might even be a 2-0.
DRG? FPX dominate DRG in China, so obv.

Whole region is mid right now tbh, I'm a Heretics fan but that G2 match was shameless (we'll see how FNC perform, they could change peoples minds)

Largely depends on Saya and izU's form, and if Aspas is the only one fragging high

20 kills in 2 maps would be an improvement for him

Honestly might just skip this one, likely LEV 2-1 but if T1 wins I'll be disappointed I missed it

Uninstall VLR

FPX looked absolutely unbelievable at some points in this match. What a game. Had me on the edge of my seat. Berlin's tp on ascent which made the casters and the crowd go crazy has to be one of the best things I've ever seen.

if yay went to China he can be good at the game again, yay vs rb would feed a whole generation

washed thread

I have no idea why anyone has doubted GenG. They play some of the most disciplined, smart Valorant out of any region. Even if they were shaky in Split 1 it looks like they're already getting back in Madrid form from what I saw in map 2 and 3 against LEV. Only thing that was missing was Texture going crazy on Jett. They're a top 3 team right now.

I'm a big EDG fan but I feel like they lowkey had their moment to do damage in an international already. Based off their performance in Madrid I'm not too hopeful about their chances in Shanghai or Champs 2024. They had a solid Split 1 but nothing that makes me think 'best in the world'.

Guardian has to be Munchkin

Both GenG and Team Heretics choked on Bind against SEN in Madrid. TH absolutely should've won Bind, but when they were about to get to 12 they just disrespected SEN for no reason and fell apart.

chovy

What's NRGs next match going to be? I'm assuming they'll go against a shitter team like FURIA and there will be 100 threads of "THEYRE BACK" and then once they go against a real team they'll get stomped. Just a prediction.

berlin

Babyj is kinda mid

GenG play such disciplined Valorant I don't think they'll fall for FPX's tricks. But I think this game will be closer than most people think. 3 map game.

TH 2-0 these bums, leaf tries his hardest

China is cNed's father
DRG 2-1

China is cNed's father so I'm not sure, probably FUT 2-1 but who knows at this point

I know you have to look at from the perspective of 'DRG is the weakest team' but holy shit, if Heretics play like this against the stronger teams and woot is popping off on duelist like that, TH is a strong contender for the win.
