Most likely 2-0 for the playoffs? That has to be RA-DRG. Although ASE are favorites to win this series against NIP, the chances of it being a 2-0 is much lower than the odds of the RA-DRG series being anything but.

Not that I'm aware of! But then again, all my friends/family already give me gifts all the time in the form of friendship/love, so it's not like I'm not gaining anything. Christmas is still fun even if I don't get anything!

To be honest, I was growing quite fond of DRG, but after they dropped maizi and Shion7 they've just been straight up underwhelming in my opinion.

At this point, I'm pretty convinced that DRG's new roster changes have made their squad considerably weaker. They really didn't look all that strong against 4AM when attacking on most maps, and their defense on Lotus was just abysmal. I understand that the mistakes can be worked on and fixed, but in my opinion there just isn't enough time to come up with a way to beat a consistent, high level team like RA.

RA 2-0 win.

Well, looking back at this, I think I wasn't very clear. What I meant to say is that NWG looked like a better team coming into the match you guys won. Certainly, you guys showed that you were the better team today, clearly having improved upon your mental and macro after the first series.
I hope that clears up any misunderstandings I've caused, but I really did expect NWG to win after seeing them put up somewhat of a fight against RA. Regardless, I look forward to seeing NIP's match against ASE. I think SiuFatBB came through with quite a few clinical kills today (which the scoreline understates) but I can say with confidence that the rest of the team is not to be underestimated either. Merry Christmas!

Yeah it's happened before and I accept that it's common but such a clean sweep within such a short period of time for a T2 team no less is still quite impressive and unexpected in my opinion.

I think NIP is still a very inexperienced Valorant team, and ASE with its previous meetings with both strong and international teams will prove a difficult opponent for them. Honestly, I don't know how NIP beat NWG (who did look to be the better team coming into the match in my opinion), but ASE will be a very different story. I'm hoping to see Life continue his fiery run of form, and I'm expecting ASE to use this opportunity to improve their game.

2-0 ASE win.

Edit: (who did look to be a better team) -> (who did look to be the better team coming into the match in my opinion),

The scoreline really flatters ASE more than it should. You even said it yourself! ASE didn't play in an orthodox fashion at all, and if you watched the match close enough, you could clearly see that it caused problems for DRG, who just couldn't get their minds around ASEs plays. To that extent, I will say that there were some moments where some DRG players made some strange plays (especially on Lotus), but to say it wasn't a hard fought series is both an oversight and an understatement to the performance DRG put up against arguably speaking a top 5 CN team. Merry Christmas!

I think DRG looks like favorites to win. Although 4AM played well and beat 17G, I feel like part of it was due to 17G just playing poorly, which somewhat overvalues 4AMs win (in my opinion). DRG had a hard fought series against ASE and although they lost 0-2 I think there were plenty of positives to take away. I feel like DRG is stronger as a team and as always, vo0kashu masterclass.

2-0 DRG win.

I think NWG has this one in the bag. They beat NIP the first time, and then they put up a good fight against RA on Bind. I saw some nice things from some NWG players such as Lanerinno and happywei, and I think if the NWG use their individual abilities to the fullest (because these teams rely more on aim), then it could very well be a solid 2-1 win for NWG. NIP might take Split if it appears, they're pretty good on it.

2-1 NWG win.

This probably won't be a great series to be honest. In my opinion, DRGs new roster is nowhere as good as before, and while Dingwei does look like a good replacement for maizi, many of DRGs round wins were attributable to solo moments of glory by players such as vo0kashu. I think ASE is stronger as a team overall, and this series may just end up being a

2-1 ASE win.

Man... 4AM just couldn't defend on Split for their lives. They actually didn't play that badly against ASE but there is definitely a lot of space for improvement. I think 17G is pretty solid overall, and some players like deLb and even theDoctorr at times were rather exquisite.

I think 17G wins 2-1

While KBG did look pretty nice on Lotus when they played RA, they seriously underperformed on Ascent, be it by peeking operator mid or just making poor post-plant decisions. NIP on the other hand, put up a decent fight against NWG, taking a total of 16 rounds, which isn't all that bad. I think both of these teams aren't very strong, but I'm going to give the edge to NIP because I did see some nice things from them during their series that KBG simply failed to deliver on.

NIP 2-1.

posted 10 months ago

This series should be a breeze for RA if they fix up some things on Haven, Breeze, and maybe even Lotus (considering KBG match). Then again, RA could just straight up ban Breeze, but if they don't then they're in for a ride because breeze is by far one of NWG's best maps along with Sunset and Ascent. Player-wise, I think it's safe to say that Kr1stal is really good, and stew's crew aren't on the fraudwatch yet.
I'm expecting a 2-0 RA win and a highly entertaining series to watch.

posted 10 months ago

Yeah, and I'd say for the worse. In my opinion, maizi was one of DRG's better players and I think they're going to struggle with the lack of a player of his caliber. However, Dingwei looks good, and so does Zeno to an extent. We'll see how it plays out in the long run but I still think they have a good chance at beating 17G.
