but thats irrelevant because every region last year had two teams in playoffs as well. thus using that as a proxy for a region's strength is retarded.

mfers acting like they didnt show one of the worst lotus t sides of all time

bro. yall only won nothing this year relax bro

its nice to have hindsight on your side

ScreaM is NOT on the same caliber as Aspas and t3xture wtf is this take.

some of the things people say on this same are genuinely bizarre

Im struggling to see your point. T1 barely scraped thru GenG in the first match then got absolutely obliterated by PRX and GenG in the rematch. At least G2 were able to contend with teams like 100t, LEV and arguably LOUD. The other teams are up for debate but KRU is absolutely on par with T1 if not better and look how G2 dismantled them.

how is it delusional? T1 have looked like shit and G2 have 2-0ed every team that is on par with T1 (C9, KRU, EG, MIBR)

LOUD hasnt been the last hope of Americas in over a year

This is nothing new. Every tournament PRX is the most unbeatable team and theyre 100 percent the favorites to win it all. Then they fucking choke and the cycle repeats

Liquid winning. Oh nah bro EMEA is fucked lmfaoooooo

are you fuckin kidding me? If we're going off of culture Europe is NOT homogenous whatsoever.

its so sad that you have to go back to kickoff lmao

its not too early because your two teams are 0 and 5 lmao

They look like absolute garbage

if youre an EMEA fan the last team you want representing you is liquid

because its the least profitable region.

2021 optic/envy was nowhere near as shit as MIBR is

what is bro yapping about

your region will always be shit at valorant

bingo

he literally had 67 kills in that series

m8 plays Liquid so theyre already in playoffs no?

the players on Furia like Havoc arent very individually talented tbf

lol cope harder. NA has been more successful internationally than BR in CS ever since 2017

QCK, Havoc, Wolfen, ScreaM, XMS, Newzera, ardiis, BerliN

FNS is not responsible for whiffed awp shots

bro thinks that k4nan is the problem. THIS ENTIRE FUCKING TEAM SUCKS LMFAO

k0nan isnt mechanically the best player but holy fuck the amount of mistakes that Havoc makes is unacceptable. He needs to go back to tier 2 and grind or retire.

DELUSIONAL. Even fucking konan is better than Havoc

Like legit the two worst teams in Americas are Brazilian

Yeah this region is so bad at FPS games thats why we won the last two Valorant events. Losing an 11-3 lead on your HOME SOIL is absolutely embarrassing. Also dont even try to talk about counter strike. Brazilian CS isnt any better than NA CS. No team from Brazil has done jack shit in the last two years. At least NA had Liquid and Complexity. How many tier 1 finals did a Brazilian team make in the last 6 years of Counter Strike? ZERO. Since 2016 Brazil has been dogshit in CS while NA at least won a major and a grand slam. Your point about Johnqt is once again irrelevant. Although he wasnt born in North America he went to school here and started his professional career in America. Lastly regarding Havoc please stop coping. Like I said N4rrate is able to play other roles other than duelist and still be a top player. Why cant Havoc? when you watch him play it is very clear he is not ready for tier 1 based on his mechanics and decision making as a player.

not a bad point at all. n4rrate was playing Jett and Raze for the majority of his time in tier 2 and yet he is the 6th highest rated player in EMEA playing initiators. Literally the exact same player and situation as Havoc except he is able to perform. If Havoc is the best player Brazilian tier 2 can produce then you better hope Saadhak can save your region cause my god the next 10 years will be hard for Brazil. And again this point about non NA players is stupid because Johnqt is not a non NA player. C0m and Tex are imports. Johnqt IS NOT.

or because the best player from your tier 2 scene went 2 and 20 in his fucking debut. plus another braindead point. Johnqt is not an import in the same way saadhak isnt an import because both have been playing in their respective regions since the beginning of their professional careers.

Singapore isnt good at a singular tier 1 game.

The worst player on an Americas team is yet again from EMEA(Germany)

Lets not sit here and act as if Brazil has a better talent pool than NA. Theres a reason why your region will never win an Ascension slot.

Give them a break. APAC has no way of getting those buddies the legitimate way

Sorry but Liquid would not beat any of those teams

lmao the last time 100t was relevant as an org in Val (and esports in general) was like 2021

LOUD is still good

dude your team has been fucking dogshit for two years lmfao. When was the last time any EMEA team other than Fnatic was even remotely relevant. And even then EMEA's only good team is starting to fall off because they dont know how to adapt to metas. Valorant is all pacific and Americas now

'this is why he will never win anything'

but... he did. In fact it was at the pinnacle of competition (champs)

Both of these teams are fucking insane and looked great.

this is one of the rosters in Valorant

this says a lot about VLR users when you have to clarify that you dont mean any ill will just for stating your opinion

Americas is always on the weekends cause we get the most viewership

you are absolutely impaired. the point of my comment is to highlight how most European fans dismiss Africa and Middle East and make all kinds of excuses until it is very convenient for them to do the opposite. Hope that clears up the confusion :)

After Sen won it has become very convenient for Europeans to slowly consider Africa apart of their region after saying EMEA is a 'bullshit' term and only Europe counts.

tarik is not looking at his phone tf are you on?
