I worded that really weirdly, but this is basically how many times each matchup has happened before (every opening, winners, and losers match). I'm also including the record between the two teams prior to the match.

11 - GEN vs. SEN (4-7)
3 - FNC vs. DRX (2-1)
1 - FNC vs. BLG (1-0)
1 - FPX vs. TH (0-1)
1 - GEN vs. TH (1-0)
1 - G2 vs. PRX (1-0)
1 - FUT vs. PRX (0-1)
0 - DRX vs. KRU
0 - BLG vs. KRU
0 - SEN vs. FPX
0 - LEV vs. TLN
0 - VIT vs. TE
0 - LEV vs. TE
0 - TLN vs. VIT
0 - EDG vs. FUT
0 - EDG vs. G2

Notes:

• The one win DRX has over FNC was at Champions 2022. Mistic and Enzo were still on the team, and Alfajer played Neon on map 3
• Of those 11 GEN vs. SEN games, 9 of them were played in 2020/21 when GEN in had a Canadian core including gMd and effys
• GEN vs. SEN has happened more times prior to Champions 2024 than every other matchup combined
• No matchup in Group C has ever happened before

BLG didn't look too bad against FNC. They have a chance against KRU, especially if they have a good Abyss prepared, since KRU are picking into it but don't look too good playing the LEV comp (they haven't figured it out yet, and Melser clearly isn't very comfortable on Harbor)

Thank you, number1_cNed_fan! Wish the same for you ^^

I love a good Harbor ace

Yup. Dropped the LOUD flair for DarkZero for a while to support wedid, then to Trace a few days before Champs. Trace has been my favourite CN team since Champs qualifiers last year though, so it's not as if I'm jumping on the train only a few days earlier than everyone else; this is a team I genuinely follow.

It's amazing to see Trace go from #16 to a bandwagon team after one game. Glad to be here from the very beginning.

I love G2 BECAUSE they make VALORANT such a coordinated, strategic game. As someone appeals more to the tactical than the fps, it's genuinely fun to watch them play, to watch them make great plays and completely dissect their opponents' comps and strategies.

How are you the king and you need an alt account to use a VALORANT forum

I hate the fact that if LOUD just played no duelist they could've had a genuine shot at Champs

How did you lose 5-1 to Colombia of all places

I have them winning the rematch. You know what they say; third time's the charm

Dw it happens

They did it a few days after they won Americas

Lmao you're fine, all we're doing here is speculating roster changes

What browser are you using? Internet Explorer, by any chance?

You'd have to drop kiNgg in that situation, and idk if that's a good idea

Good news: Leviatán added the á back to their name
Bad news: It's still written LEVIATÁN

Klaus is definitely the d00mbr0s of Americas

Reread the title of this thread

VLR doesn't have a rise nor fall. If VLR was a stock it would look like a sine wave on steroids.

Not this again.

⠀⠀what.

I thought you got banned

( * ^ v ^ )

Oh yeah true

Semantics

I'm a yapper, I think

There are several people on VLR which, if they made their accounts at the start of the day, would already have four stars. Myself included.

Today has been WAY too hectic. I need a popsicle.

I have it the other way around. LEV are really good on TLN's best maps, but VIT is usually leaving Lotus in the pool, a map that TE is undefeated on.

LEV 2-0 TLN
VIT 2-1 TE

😼

So essentially you just copy paste a bunch of stuff from Google and then spend 100x longer than you should bugfixing it

Valid point

Ok what about VLR ranks instead. Where you start unranked and then after 100 posts or something you're given a ranking and then rank up/down based on upvotes/downvotes/reports

Good. The hoax is working.

Thank you! Appreciate that :)

What if we just... didn't have stars? What if it was just flag, name, flair? (+ something idk talk it up in the comments)

Absolute W

Not too bad, thanks for asking

Vitality getting the G2 treatment rn

Guys do I need to explain the concept of an upset

Not in any sense. If they were, it wouldn't be an upset.
