thats actually not true if u see that podcast.. he is really vocal and had some say in the role changes that they did aswell. With Marved, i think he will have even bigger role to play

true true not like he has won a championship or anything

also mentions how EG got really better.. bald guy with the reads

i am not discounting their effort and I am sure jakee/runi might even win it next time they are in such a situation - but they wont be rookies anymore though.

i dont get it either its not a hot take - i am not discounting the fact that C9 is a great team, NRG handled pressure better

i dont. thats the point im making - its hard to expect that which is why people go for experienced folk at the highest level

those kids choked under pressure though... lost when it mattered + lost when they were no longer underdogs

NAH FK U YAY CLEARS ENTIRE C9

and how does that stop the travelling?

wait why are they not leaving the place? why are they cheering for Saadhak? this is so crazy

no thank you to fnatic for getting a 4th slot?

EMEA is fucked. They wont stand a chance against the viper-harbor spam fest

subroza and masaru clear..

Sacy is the best tho

he didnt really get much of a chance + yay played jett on ascent for optic and before the chamber meta - he was pretty good. leaf is a really good duelist so it didnt really make a dent

giants gaming got exposed today

if cloud9 lose - deserved for losing yay
if NRG lose - kick ardiis - they are missing yay

win win

1 overpowered team + an army of mids.. only time I could keep my eyes open was during the tech pauses

KRU clears FUT Esports

NRG 2-0 KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK + i know ur shivering about how Demon1 gonna diff aspas
get ready for "sadhak saving strats for Tokyo"

its ok we gonna show u how to secure 4 slots for Americas in Tokyo

If only LOUD didnt sell that 11-3 lead.. we would have 3 NA teams going to Tokyo (C9,NRG,EG)

NRG.. we already have EG WITHOUT Demon1.

bro snuck in tenz

what has C9 won in Valorant? they shit talk all the time.. especially the non-stop backhanded comments on yay after releasing him

ok but still why would they pay for yay when Demon1 is there

braindead.. transfer window is closed

yay hardly got a chance to play - once FNS Chet replace ardiis and bring him back its gonna be over

just marry a japanese citizen - marriage based citizenship goes hard

US passports can be expedited to be made within 14 days if u have an international travel. Its not a passport issue cause Demon1 himself mentioned it in his stream that he isnt part of the original roster which is why he cant travel. Also its not a work visa that is required they need an entertainer visa for Japan - Riot can work with the embassy to process it faster but they wont do it. You obviously have no clue.

1. Expedited US passports take like 2 weeks to be made.
2. 26th May is when Riot gets to know which is the 3rd team qualifying for Tokyo. Are they going to file for work visas for everyone in the tournament? Simple google says Japan takes 5-10 days to process work visas.

but the fact that they dont know which is the 3rd team qualifying till 26th May - how would they file for a Visa for the players? They cant just be filing visas for all the teams irrespective of whether they are going to Tokyo or not. Its just random ass Riot rules.

Id assume visa would be one of the reasons why an advance lock in period for rosters was required.. but not sure cause when they dont know which 3 teams qualify till this late - why even ask for the rosters so early in the tournament - just Riot things i guess.

so was EG making Tokyo a month earlier.. random ass game

Riot had a lock in period where teams had to submit rosters which would be travelling and at that time Demon1 wasnt part of their original roster - now they cant change it

2nd tweet is from when EG was performing poorly + Demon1 immensely impactful - they lost to Talon Esports in Lock IN with BCJ for comparison

AGREE. They were running on a high tide - when chips are down and u are not an underdog and everyone expects greatness from you - thats when performing is tougher and hopefully they can learn from this

"does EG know they made franchising? why are they not scrapping to buy all the overpriced + overrated F/As????"

2 months later :

? he is an American Citizen

didnt Japan remove Visa requirements for tourists.. im pretty sure American citizens can travel to Japan without a visa for some time - unless competing means working - sounds like an L from Riot and nothing Japan can do.

i dont mind EG either but not without Demon1

that or atleast Demon1 gets his visa situation sorted.. EG minus Demon1 will be a laughing stock in Tokyo

sure but he cant travel to Tokyo

yep MIBR fucked NRG twice

BR working together to send their best team to Tokyo by not banning Ascent and shit.... meanwhile we have people going bald and upsetting our best chance as NA to win Tokyo.. so cringe

without Demon1 they will get first rounded

fuck it lets just send FURIA, EG and LEV to Tokyo

LCQ viewership >>>>>>>>>>>>>> masters tokyo

so if u see the seeding there is no way 3 NA teams can make it..

Id say yes because yay works better with the slow calling style of FNS

get first rounded what else
