when a win isn't considerated "fluke"? people call fluke at almost every win.

Englando please.

Nah jk, i appreciate the posts in portuguese, i've been able to learn some of the language with this <3

lmao

Bad called small org, but big heart

As of this year, LATAM had the biggest difference since last year in terms of results at international events (which imo should be the ones counting to do a real measure between regions), so wouldn't be crazy to call them the lowest right now.

All the other regions have been kinda consistent in their average level. EU still on top, maybe not dominating but still there, NA in the brink, KR, JP, APAC doing something similar to last year (maybe APAC growing, but Xerxia isn't a surprise since they were X10).

And some people may hate me here, but maybe BR is the opposite example to LATAM. They have shown growth considering they didn't do that much in the past international tournaments and now are looking better.

<3

it is what it is, i'm here to say that we got wrecked. The fluke thing is still braindead considering that there isn't a clear dominant team in ALL the short story of Valorant. That trascends time lol

Fnatic was doomed before it started sadly. People can say whatever about "2 stand-ins aren't excuse" or "Fearoth and Hiber were fragging", but that's mostly iron-bronze kids. Imagine losing 40% of your team and trying to put strats together in a few days.

Zeta players are doing their job, same as NiP but that doesn't say that much about their level. They are just kicking them while they're in the ground, considering they never were standing.

Man, big respect for this guy since his CSGO times.
Best wishes to Hiko. Keep entretaining in the stream as always!

Maybe because they're sleeping at this point i guess

F

As FNS says: all good.

GG go next, maybe do some workarounds for the future and come back stronger :)

Thanks KRÜ for representing us again. Yeah it wasn't the best showing, considering previous tournaments, but the support for the region teams is always there <3

GGs to OpTic

Love this guy, been following him since cs years ago. I wish him the best in this new stage!

love you too man <3

Well i saw Victor stepping up today too. Not to mention crashies and his agressive pushes to gain info (with FNS abilities).

Even if the rival team (KRÜ in this case) isn't performing, you as the rival gotta win those rounds anyway you know...

Considering what he does here sometimes, the surprise is that he isn't banned or something for spreading hate.
I suppose mods do another things when they are here. I really suppose.

El Diablo awakened, what a timing to do that </3
Also OpTic playing really good as a team, good micros, and players stepped up individually compared to the Xerxia match.

KRÜ really needs a miracle to reverse this, but it ain't over until it's over #VamosKRÜ

disgusting production tbh.

quack <3

We're going for at least 30 minutes of technical difficulties between the two maps. Not even counting the time of the side change, and the time between the end of map 1 and start of map 2...

I think between both technical pauses (1st map after pistol round and now this) + the time between maps, not overreacting but this has been easily 45-50 dead minutes

I'm pretty sure that in this specific match, after the pistol round in icebox they had a tech pause for about... 15 minutes or some shit?
And now this also a tech, the time between maps already happened, players also already locked agents...

Not the first time it happens tho. What the actual heck with this game?

I can confirm

Derke
yay
Sayaplayer
keznit
Subroza (yes)

I think it will depend on the person. In a general statement i think this happens more in cs, because to be honest, latam cs isn't that strong nowadays.

In Valorant, #3 maybe expressed one of the most common thoughts that i see and read in different places.

I personally have always cheered for BR teams when they go against other regions. Gotta say that i don't like that much some of their fanbases tho.

Worst thing is that this guy throw the stone and hide the hand, now he's nowhere to be seen after posting this stuff.
Can't he get banned or something?

Not even apologizing or something.

wena primo oeee

Man, all the hopium aside, i think that if OpTic doesn't show something better than the sunday match, KRÜ is going past them today.
KRÜ always start slow the tournaments, but there's no much room for error now and idk if they're in a better mental position than they had with El Pela as coach.

Also as today, keznit tweeted something kinda cryptic, and from outside looks he may be a little off. We never know but sometimes people can't handle that much internet hate (related to the yesterday episode). I hope that doesn't affect his game today.

To be completely honest, Xerxia looks really strong so far, so i have to give them the advantage.

Really, if internet police becomes a paid job in the future...

Actually braindead

I get why some brazilians react like this, and it's perfectly understandable. The damage has been done before, so now he will always be under the magnifying glass.

picture taken with my Nokia 5300

Yes, and for laughing about a hateful practice (bullying)

yeah, as normal people lol

Sad that people disrespects too much, but sadly that's the reality in this forums. GL man!

I stopped after "im okay with first 8 but last 2 nah"

lmao GG

i was answering something about chilean slangs at the keznit thread in the next tab, got the "time restriction", copied just in case and idk why i pasted it here, i though i refreshed the other tab, A MESS, A DAMN MESS lol

lmao i laughed at this, i may end in hell for this

Agree that he has to be careful, we all hope he learned something in the "professionalism training" that Riot putted him.

Anytime you guys want we can "try" to explain this weird ass spanish version we call "chilean" or "chilensis", which is a fucking mess full of slangs

so now slangs are allowed? but when keznit says "primate" it's a problem.

Come on man.

edit: wrong topic for some reason lol

No haguis lo que no queris que te haguen

I get and justify why some brazilians can get mad about this, because this term keznit uses even with Aspas (explained by sebaiacoR in #61 #73 and #74) is too local, too specific for foreign countries to know. Chilean spanish it's know all around latin america as one of the worst spanish variation and hardest to understand because there are a lot of words like that.

Yes, the dgzin episode was bad, but before doing this statements you could ask here what does it mean. There are chileans here than can explain those things if you guys are interested.

I've seen people doing this here for another languages before making bold accusations.

Classy as always

funny how you write a testament and then call arrogance

indeed, they give it so much attention

Right now, maybe NiP 70/30
