Probably not. Seeding could matter for Champs. Every group has a 1st seed, 2nd seed, 3rd seed, and a team that qualified by points. In other words, the better your seed, the more likely you are to get an easier group.

Dude, literally just look at my flair

You unbinding Caps Lock is crazier imo
(Nvm he edited the caps section in)

Uhm. Did we watch the same Sentinels vs. G2 Esports match?

If they make top 4 every year they basically have a permanent slot LMAO

I've heard everything, even the stuff that doesn't make sense. jawgemo, OXY, aspas, Demon1, leaf, primmie, Sayaplayer, keznit, etc.

I want to see how many people are still asking for an icy replacement after this Bind map (the number won't go down for whatever reason)

Southgate has to play more aggro, dude. This full defense style worked great back in 2018, but now he has a roster of stars. He can't just keep playing full defense for 90 minutes. He's wasting his talent and boring their fans

If England win, there's an argument to be made for this to be the worst Euro of all time

Ok be fr

Copa América happens every 4 years. SEN vs. G2 might happen again next week

The flag + flair change is crazy

You forgot Iso. It's probably debatable who's the best on Iso but I'd put Rb.

The Olympics next month in Paris, then club football, and then World Cup qualifying for Europe starts in March

Wdym?

It is what it is. Canada played the better game, but couldn't convert their best chances—otherwise it would've comfortably been 3-1 at halftime. Still a great first appearance at Copa América either way. Looking forward to the World Cup a little under two years from now

Yeah, why not? They're playing a lot better than Colombia. Besides, it would be cool if in Canada's first Copa América appearance, they not only made it to the top 4 (further than Brazil) but ALSO only lost to Argentina, the eventual winners.

You can't say FURIA don't look like a good team now, though. They only teams they've lost to this split are a rejuvenated Evil Geniuses who had a genuine shot at Champoins and a Leviatán who could've been 10-0 right now if not for a quintuple overtime loss in map 3 to Cloud9.

Spain and Argentina

Please tell me one of those strats is getting d00mbr0s back

Yup. And I would never take my time to write a well thought-out argument to obvious bait.

I feel the arguments for Demon1, pANcada, and Saadhak are unjustified. Demon1 and pANcada didn't choose to get benched (Demon1 got benched for FNS which is understandable, and pANcada didn't fill the role that Sentinels needed which happens). As for Saadhak, he doesn't even want to play duelist—he would get off Neon if he could.

A lot of people don't want to spend thousands of dollars on PCs. Some people (myself included) even play on laptop. And that's completely okay. There's no reason to clown on people that don't want to break open the bank.

And on the opposite end of the spectrum, there are people in iron who probably have better PCs than you do. So there's no reason to generalize whatsoever.

You know what, I kinda like that. Would be neat seeing icy and neT on the same team

VALORANT already has some of the best anti-cheat in the market. I don't think we need a replay system to detect cheaters

Where would icy end up

The people commenting no realizing they're technically saying yes:

Replace Headhunter with Showstopper, reduce to 50 credits and increase to 12 charges

Increase Trademark to 4 charges, triple the radius, and keep them up after death. Trademark now also causes instant full decay as well as deafens enemies

Remove the cooldown and sound queue from Rendezvous. Rendezvous now also heals 50 HP

Tour de Force is decreased to 5 ult points, has 25 reserve ammo, and penetrates everything (including buy phase barriers)

Depends on what happens at Champions

I think it aged pretty well honestly

5 minutes in and Canada have already had 2 corners LMAO

MIBR are playing to build synergy for next season. EG are playing to keep their jobs. I think it's fair to say one side wants it more than the other.

I'll give you a hint: they start with N and end with atus Vincere

Kickoff is in a little over 4 hours. Google's win probability lists a 63% win chance for Uruguay, with only a 15% chance for Canada and a 22% chance of going to penalties.

I wouldn't say I completely agree with that, though. Sure, Uruguay should be the overwhelming favourites, but Canada's riding an all-time high, and Uruguay is potentially depleted after the semifinal against Uruguay—plus Núñez is suspended after the brawl with the fans that followed that game.

Still, the Uruguayan side is very strong. Not only did they sweep their group of Panama, the USA, and Bolivia (scoring 9 goals and conceding only 1), but they also took out Brazil in the quarterfinals.

So, what do we think? Are Uruguay the overwhelming favourites? Or do Canada have a chance to steal bronze?

At least losing to the same team a bunch of times didn't cause them to drop their coach, go on a 10 map loss streak, and become debatably the worst team in the world

I mean, sure, but if Ascent is in the pool then there's no chance trent has a sleeper series

FakeAnanas, who was on Acend last year

Somehow I didn't see this. Looks like there's a lot of agreement. Updated

Happy 30th existence anniversary to Adam "kaplan" Kaplan! 🎉

Predding trent having a sleeper match on Ascent proves to me you haven't seen trent on Ascent

C9 are going to playoffs because they've performed better than the teams that aren't going to playoffs. Hope this helps

I agree, that is quite spicy

Not yet. If Sentinels beat G2 in their game tomorrow, then they do. They can still lose to G2 and bomb out of playoffs, in which case if 100T could catch up to them in points

The only way I can see them running a normal-ish comp is if Jinggg is on Clove

Jett - something
Sova - d4v41
KAY/O - f0rsakeN
Clove - Jinggg
KJ/Cypher - mindfreak

That's debatable. Way better information, but way worse UI and functionality

Every confirmed team so far: FNC, PRX, DRX, GEN, TLN, FPX, EDG

Wait that's actually gorgeous. It makes sense that they have the best trophy, though. VCT CN has the most beautiful logo of the four regions

No problem :)

It's probably USA, ROC, China, Great Britain, +1 in some order

I recommend Spectrum, Singularity, Mystbloom, Sentinels of Light, ChronoVoid, and Celestial. These are all really nice Phantom skins which I don't hear too many people talking about
