wait you genuinely think drx doesnt play for mako and fnc doesnt play for alfa?

teams who can perform good even with pressure are scarier tho

lets be honest bro loud never played for aspas, they always played together making everyone shine instead of having peak performers thats why loud doesnt have much stat merchants in there even tho they always did top 3 performances internationally since 2022, now that he is on lev and everyone is playing for him he´ll boost on stats like crazy.

hopefully monyet because they need a controller and xffero is way better on initiator

map difference

bro got 13-0´d twice in the same day https://x.com/Ban_Val/status/1786272332987937047

masters and champions arent the same as vct, by vct he means franchising bro

it is, loud vs eg last year was the first, a lot of people tend to forget that map because eg ended being world champs tho

lets goooooooooooo

wrong criminal thats ntk

well this might be cringe to some people but i actually find this fanarts kind of wholesome ngl

they arent active since january or november from last year tbh

he tried to make a 6th man roster work last year and now intro, secret, eko, k1ng and sylvan which are pretty much in their early 20´s seem to be thinking about retirement since they havent joined a team yet.

coaches gen.g for 3 years and they cant even be top 5 apac or NA, lefts and gen.g becomes the best apac team and top 2 itw, joins fnatic and they go from 4th itw to hardly be top 6 on one of the worst emea moments historically, maybe he starts doing good and shuts me the fuck up? maybe but rn he isnt looking good ngl.

actually i thought he played because i didnt watch any game from ge this stage, im removing him my bad

i dont mean statistically but he´s had a better rookie year, its kind of cheating because he started from kick off but unlucky for beyn

nah that name pisses me off because idk how to pronounce the "irot" part

nah karon still better rn

sen should unironically tryhard this because is a very important vct point, if they dont then i guess furia can get a map

failed igl? he is the 2nd best igl in valorant

as if 100t has ever got past groups since nitr0 left their ass

league of legends, not exactly the same as valorant in terms of gameplay but playoffs were single elim and semifinals were 1000x better than finals basically

ngl tweets are from days ago too lazy to look it up and im also not 100% sure they already signed it also

t1 vs weibo grand finals from worlds werent hype at all this doesnt make sense imo

bro if anything put corey on flex because he has played like 10 agents, but nah dude dont put him on initiator over verno be real

bros are about to lock brim every map

furia has pretty much everything carved in stone with xand mwzera and havoc on the team, mibr is the issue, they had 2 budget teams in a row idk if they are saving for cs or what but its dumb af to have 2 teams like these in a row ngl

i just watched viper gameplay and i dont think its that bad ngl you can still play single controller on breeze idk about icebox yet tho

wtf then idk tbh

i think its because people expect 100t to lose a map or lev to win a map

portunhol

talking mathematically they arent, they need to win 1 map against kru and 100t has too win 2-0 but everyone on the site expect 100t to lose 1 map or lev to win 1 map thats why

it would be better for kru gto throw, lev can still lose the lead kru cant

prime eg lasted 1 event bro bring back prime optic y0y slander started to be repetitive

they will face kru g2 c9 and nrg next stage and being honest with how loud eg 100t and lev improved i think its better for them to face these teams

copy paste a better google quote next time pls

bro comparing franchising to vcl na group stage with lg tsm pittsburg knights and 2022 sentinels

it is

yeah rumors

bad team regarding NA:

angelo mori 🇨🇱
fabian usnayo 🇨🇱
marco machuca 🇨🇱
olavo marcelo 🇧🇷
nicolas ferrari 🇦🇷

good team regarding NA:

angel morrison 🇺🇸
frank ulrich 🇺🇸
marcus mitchell 🇺🇸
oliver marshall 🇬🇱
nick chevrolet 🇨🇦

the only chance they bring mta back is on melser´s place because he is the oldest and most unconsistent player on the team but mta doesnt have experience on smokes and melser is stepping up and improving a lot so they wont add mta atleast until stage 2 maybe to try out some things

ok you buy me we need that shit fr

maybe not that much, because both are qualified, but they are 100% facing each other again on playoffs

womp womp why nrg lost to eg and lev bro? what happened to the superteam? cant out igl kingg and nature?

bro last year this made sense because we didnt beat top 3 teams for americas since they didnt compete on lcq but now???? what exactly separates us from doing a good performance? all our players have LAN experience, we have time to prepare for shanghai since now because we dont even have to prepare for lev since we already locked 1st seed, everything is on our side

because people forget about it so im just reminding them once again who the 2nd best team of south america is (we need a trophy to compete for 1st)

puto partidazo, kru 2-1 hay equipo
