the thing is this is great for viewers but bad for pro players because some teams (loud) base their playstyle on viper and having to make up new strats for shanghai is gonna take them more time than 2 weeks before shanghai starts so its very fucked for some teams and they are getting punished for playing the meta

they making teams not play the new patch (viper and cypher nerf patch) for playoffs but they making them play them on shanghai? idk man they will have prep time on scrims but not on officials before they play shanghai and thats weird af imo, i guess they did it this way because pacific teams already have shanghai teams locked but thats riot´s fault for making entire regions play their final games a week before others imo.

i ss it because i dont like saving shit on my pc that i have to delete later my bad

its not recency biased tbh, i count all the stage 1 and kick off

dude i swear im not a tenz glazer, tbf i´ve been asking for him to step out of the team when they struggled for years but now the numbers are right there and i watched his games he did good.

ok ngl i thought you were mad because of nrg because of your flair but even if it isnt the case, bro everyone on group alpha stat padded against furia and mibr yet they still up there and you only complaint against tenz? he played good maybe he didnt match mvp all games but he played the exact same teams g2 c9 and kru played and still pulled numbers close to them without qualifying

why isnt any nrg player on top 10 then?

he was s against nrg and maybe a bit against sen, but those are the teams who didnt make playoffs

he is the only non qualed to playoffs player that is on the top 10 rated in the league and its a group phase where everyone played the same amount of matches so...

he is, did he demonstrate it this year?

no pproblem

i wont put oxy next to aspas bro aspas dropped a kill record against the madrid champions and destroyed the 2nd best team in 1 map (ascent vs kru)

oxy is on s wdym

thoughts? btw players in the same tier arent placed in any order i just think they arent worse or better enough to place them one tier below or above

this is the tierlist if you guys want it https://tiermaker.com/create/all-players-vct-americas-2024-17045789

thats why they got runi and vanity for him 2 A tier igls telling him what to do is crazy because with them oxy is finally looking like an s tier player

wait yotaa is here now and he has a french flag now?

"beefing" bro they werent even arguing they were trying to crack jokes but werent really compatible i dont blame any of them tbh.

bro knew

g2 won by round diff on triple tie so its a fluke for those, but kru anc c9 simply won more matches because their gameplans worked better and their roles were figured out already unlike nrg who changed roles mid stage 1 because they were trying things out

nrg is worse than eg sen rrq and bbl ok? maybe mid-off with vit but its our 9th and its still above some 7th´s of other regions so its ok imo.

you say it as if they beat blg before tho

rematch of the century

btw i just realized how fucking stacked our region is taking in count those are our 7th-9th teams bro wtf?

if riot decided to do a LAN event with 7th-9th of every region would you watch it?

americas:
sen
nrg
eg

emea:
bbl
vit
m8s

apac:
rrq
´//,
ge

china:
blg
tyl
tec

i didnt find it funny either but i wasnt hurt by it i pretty much just ignored it.

g2 uploaded a tweet,i´ll quote it "sen fans after today´s game" and its a laugh emoji with a g2 classic pointing to his own mouth, people took it like it was too far and stuff like that, but i dont think its as bad as they thought it was.

edit: found the tweet https://x.com/G2VALORANT/status/1787286719881936906

hey there is a clip but its in spanish https://x.com/EzeSeveri/status/1787277692640862518 i wouldnt mind translating it tho

chatter: keznit if you beated gambit would you beat acend?
keznit: i think we would´ve lost like gambit because the game against gambit ended at 1 am, after interviews we went to the hotel at like 2:00 am, and gambit got to the hotel at 4:00 am, then the next day we woke up at 8:00 am because of that covid test, the "pcr" (idk how to translate it to english), and gambit were already awake taking the pcr at 8:00 am, imagine they have to go to sleep at 4:00 am, they take the test at 8:00 am and they played the bo5 at 12:00

idk if cry or laugh at the fact bbl got out for tl, i spend all the fucking off season hyping up elite for his team to hold him back against giantx

he had 10k watching loud vs g2 btw

where kru c9 and g2 qualified over nrg and sen, this is enough to drive a good man crazy

less is the biggest sen fan and qck the biggest hater

they should acquire txozin on sentinel

americas league is so exciting to watch with shit like this yet so tragic for fans

maybe when mixwell uploads his loud vs g2 watchparty to youtube he puts the clip, but they are talking in spanish

being honest changing the covid test date or lending them a room to sleep before the match started or something like that could´ve been good imo, taking in count they took a covid test the day before to play against kru i find it kind of paranoic to make them take another before the grand final

not really, cned is still good to this day but it makes me be more mad about riot´s protocols tbh.

true, people talking about how gambit choked the final its crazy considering they won 2 maps on that condition

keznit is on mixwell´s stream and they talked about gmb vs kru and if he thinks he could´ve beat acend if they won against gambit, keznit said that he doesnt think they could´ve won against any team in the final because after the long ass overtime and postmatch interviews, both gambit and kru had to left the arena at 2:00 am and whoever won the match was forced to wake up next day and go to a medic covid test at 8:00 am, basically gambit slept 2-3 hours and played 5 maps against acend, he said it was impossible to win that bo5 for gambit kru or whoever played with that conditions and says it isnt acend´s fault but that riot kinda messed up things by making gambit play the grand final on that conditions.

7 rounds left bro

yall act as if koi and giantx being 1-4 are much better

both have been nuclear tbh, n4rrate might look better because of his qual to madrid and winning kickoff while being a rookie but oxy had an awful team on kickoff and is performing crazily now that it improved tbh

he isnt even rookie of the year yet and you are putting him on rookie of all time? nah

n4rrate is playing against milkers bro, he is insanely cracked mechanically tho, if he was in c9 instead of xeppaa c9 would be in discussion for best americas team rn and he might improve most NA rosters on flex

yeah im not the kind of guy to downvote on conversations tbh, and i actually agree with that "being able to learn new agents fast > having 8 agents already learned but they took you a considerable amount of time to learn"

everytime paper rex realizes they can go to master´s playoffs directly by getting 1st seed they lock in and look invincible fr

being fair with demon1 he was a rookie last year and already won champs, people talk about him as if he was a 4 years of career no achievements guy who shouldnt have more motivation in him, but im pretty sure he will probably learn raze if he gets time with it, people might not remember but aspas wasnt necesarily top 3 razes back then and now he undoubtedly is because he grinded and is now on an insane level i think demon1 can definitely overcome his agent pool flaws but that wouldnt solve the calling problem so he is in a bad position rn in his career because not only he has to learn a new role, his team also is learning new agents constantly like ethan on omen, marved playing viper on maps he wasnt used to play it, crashies playing more flashers than recon initiators lately and victor having to switch between controller sentinel and duelist.

he isnt a one trick player he is good on astra and brim too, i´d argue he is as good on those agents as he is in jett

his best plays are aggresive plays, eg was pretty proactive in comparison to nrg, maybe the thing is when someone mentions aggresion you guys think on paper rex which is why you dont take this seriously, but the thing is when someone mentions aggression you shouldnt think about prx since they arent aggresive, they are hyperaggresive.

you think keznit lives on usa stupid ass?

you dont know what 1 team region means right? no way you think loud wasnt a title contender on madrid
