Did he lie? Every top team on Valorant so far has had a perma ban during their prime. It's ok to have a shitty map, means you can focus on strengthening the others.

Achilios is awful all he does is scream needlessly

it gotta be PanPoc

I think they can 2-0 LOUD and EG/DRX, but they will drop at least one map in GF

FPX still had a sub for their first playoffs match, then Suygetsu arrived and they made that LB run. FNC doesn't have that going for them.

Fake news. Real scrimbux on sunday.

NAVI and LOUD gonna pick her on sunday

The curse is not strong enough to make a team lose to both FUT and T1, unless FPX surprises everyone

Group A: PRX/EDG
Group B: EG/T1
Group C: FNC/NRG
Group D: DRX/TL

Playoffs:
7-8th: EG/T1
5-6th: TL/DRX
4th: EDG
3rd: PRX
2nd: NRG
Winner: FNC

• LOUD drama is actually real and affects the team heavily
• EG fell off but with such an easy group they make playoffs
• DRX will improve slightly but won't go back to their peak form yet
• TL pretty much the same
• EDG and PRX will both look strong but eventually their extreme aggression and overpeeking will cost them a win against more experienced and disciplined teams like the two finalists
• NRG improves a lot throughout the tournament and reaches GF through the lower bracket
• FNC switches some things up to get harder to read, that pays off and they still look as strong as ever

If anything this shows that Americas is indeed the strongest region when even the team that went 0-9 during regular phase can bounce back and look this good.

Nade and trip are useless and ult is too situational. The wall is her only good ability.

ah pelo amor de deus, dominaram a fase regular e vem com esse papinho de que não esperava passar pros playoffs e ia jogar o LCQ?

adoro o manito mas essa palhaçada de ficar diminuindo o próprio time pra galera não criar expectativa dá muita preguiça e não cola mais. vocês ja mostraram o potencial dessa line no Lock In e na liga, não adianta arrumar desculpinha de time jovem/inexperiente que ta aprendendo com os erros ainda e bla bla bla, joguem o que sabem jogar e pronto

That's much higher than I thought, and average viewership was also higher than Copenhagen

FNC vs PRX finals
LOUD top 4
NAVI the best non-FNC EMEA team
EDG makes another good run
EG and Liquid grouped

x Pearl x Ascent

Lotus FNC w
Fracture FNC w
Bind EG w
Split EG w
Haven FNC w

3-2 FNC

Not without Something

I think they go with Jinggg on Phoenix, Forsaken on Jett, D4V41 on Skye, Mindfreak on Omen and Crgs on Killjoy

FNC 2-0

EG will get dragged back down to reality, and will lose to NRG/PRX in the lower finals

PRX gonna reach uppers, just watch

FNC-EG
TL-NRG
LOUD-DRX/FUT
PRX-T1/EDG

KangKang and Smoggy goated

they need to worry about EDG first

No, but maybe having a bad tournament will be the thing that finally awakens them to win a title

kkkkkk

PRX 3-1

Loud ban Pearl + Bind
Loud pick Ascent
Nrg pick Split
Loud pick Fracture
Nrg pick Lotus
Haven remains

Loud 3-1 NRG

If Liquid takes a map to OT is already a miracle

NRG is going to wipe the floor with C9, if they struggled against tilted LEV imagine what FNS gonna do with them

All NA has is the Optic core, EG going 0-2 in Tokyo without Demon1 and C9 is a fraud.

NRG 2-0 GUARD9

LOUD 2-0 vs either team

Only one team was ever able to beat them with this comp (Optic during Iceland GF over a year ago)

FUR will go out 0-2 and LEV usually chokes in big games, maybe there's a tiny chance that 100T upsets Loud in semis. NRG and C9 are locked.

FUR beat LEV so if they both qualify at 4-5 then I think FUR takes 5th place cause of h2h, SEN and EG won't be taken into consideration anymore. Just a guess tho.

You will see that next week

Tomorrow we'll have Ascent/Pearl/Haven most likely

They're gonna win Tokyo, if any team takes a map off them in grand finals it's already a W

Cauanzin 1v3 on Fracture against NRG

If Lardiis didn't hit those lucky shots through smokes on Pearl Loud would've closed that series 2-0 with the first map being 13-3. Be thankful NRG even managed to reach map 3 and stop crying.

LOUD 8-1
C9 8-1
NRG 6-3
FUR 5-4
SEN 5-4
-
LEV 4-5
100T 4-5

In this case 100T takes it I guess

Concordo com o mano ali, nenhum time BR além da Loud tem consistência, basta uma derrota pra perder o momento e se abalar total. Fúria tava horrível hoje mas a EG é pior, se jogar assim nas próximas séries vai ficar fora dos playoffs.

Panpoc or nothing

Loud is good on Icebox too and leaving Lotus as the decider would be risky since they don't know how Loud is doing on the map

F ban PEARL
L ban FRACTURE
F pick HAVEN (F 55-45 L)
L pick ASCENT (F 45-55 L)
F pick LOTUS (?)
L pick SPLIT (F 50-50 L)
decider ICEBOX (F 55-45 L)

fuck :( hope she recovers

Now they just need to ditch these double duelist comp, at least on Fracture, and they're gonna have a very strong map pool

Based on scrims LEV was winning the event, things are different on stage with a crowd. And the bootcamp was a month ago, Loud could've changed many things. I don't doubt DRX tho, they could win of course.

We don't want NA jinxing us thank you

Contra a DRX vai ser uma briga boa, dá pra passar. Agora contra a NAVI realmente vai pesar demais a falta de experiência do Tutu e do Cauanzin.

These NAVI guys always making an effort to be unlikable. It's a shame they're so good yet I just can't root for them. Here's hoping Fnatic can make it to the finals.

Qualquer pessoa minimamente sensata sabe que a NAVI vai ganhar esse camp. É torcer pra não ser um espanco caso a Loud passe da DRX, que tire pelo menos um mapinha.
