Fnatic vs Navi showed that Fnatic was far and away the best in their region.
Loud and NRG are clearly better than Navi, and Furia/100T/Sentinels were closer to Navi than I expected (like just under Navi). Liquid looked terrible, Vitality is clearly #3 EMEA. Largely, America's is still better than EMEA.
give it up bro. I know its hard, LOUD were amazing
Hopefully Liquid manages to work on their mistakes. fourth should go to koi
Loud got this 100% Ascent is their playground
As a European it was always hard for me to understand American culture. What was fascinating for me is that they like bragging about their freedom which was weird for me, because I didn't think that I have any less freedom than them. I always thought 'What is the difference'. However after this game I finally understand it. NA is just so fucking free.
These Ego andys started getting so high off of their own farts after beating bottom tier EMEA teams thinking they would field the majority of the final 4 teams. Now they are facing the very likely prospect of having 0 teams qualify.
Since they are known to be crybabies will they cry foul saying the tournament is rigged? Will they say the organizers poisoned their burgers?
What will be the fallout of this embarrassing performance?
the number of nrg flairs will increase drastically after the game
It's a LA culture problem. Worked Europe, china, and north American league scenes - the NA one has a huge issue with inflated self and laziness compared to the other regions. Until the esports scene moves out of LA, it'll continue to fail.
Why practice when you can get high and eat takeout? Why push yourself when grifters blow smoke up your ass because it's the town of egos and bullshit sold to make money with minimal effort or work? The culture takes talent and kills it for greed.
Has nothing to do with NA born and everything to do with that city and the personality types it enables and habits it produces in that scene.
EDIT: to be clear, I'm not against work/life balance and think a lot of habits in esports are unhealthy and problematic/abusive to the players. Unfortunately, in the market you're competing against very unhealthy habits and at that level, the margins for error are ripped open in comparisons. But I also think the LA culture in esports needs a big reality check and their blank check books taken away because they're fucking the entire system.
People are losing their minds even though the top 3 EMEA teams that will play every tournament from now on anyway are in the Omega bracket. Who cares how good Giants, KOI or KC are if they will never be better than Liquid, Fnatic and NAVI and thus never be relevant for international tournaments?
Americas is the strongest region, but that was obvious from the moment it became clear that LOUD and Leviatan would be lumped together with NA and EMEA would remain as it was before.
NRG is better than the 4th and 5th best EMEA team? Karmine Corp lose against LOUD? BBL lose to DRX? What a fucking surprise. EG winning against Heretics is a fair matchup where you could say that EMEA was trash.
If you seriously think Americas/DRX won the whole thing already, wait until the best teams in the region play before you make judgements. If you want to be a bully online to feel better about your miserable life, wait until Sentinels/100T win against Fnatic or KRU/Leviatan win against NAVI.
NA got LOUD + LEV while EMEA remained the same. Everybody knows Americas is stronger, it's about NA.
the best EU teams have not even played yet
we're safe for now what is this 💀

You want the rivalry vs EU but cry when the FPX players post banter tweets? This is what NA vs EU is about, do you think they have something against these players personally?
Also XSET fans cry of all people, your players literally do the same thing as the FPX players. BCJ: "stax is from a worse region and I think crashies and myself are the best initiators"
Its fine if you hate FPX because you don't like their tweets and think they're "arrogant" but if you love teams like Sentinels or XSET on the other hand you are just a hypocrite. If you want all players to be nice to eachother and no trashtalk at all you can hate on FPX, sure. But if you enjoy trashtalk, then stfu if your enemy team trashtalks you. This also goes to the FPX fans who cry rn because vlr.gg trashtalks FPX. If you're an FPX fan and you're reading this, they lost, so what? Don't cry about others being toxic to FPX now.
I can appreciate Sentinels and XSET because I know its not serious and it brings more hype. Imagine if Sentinels were actually good and would play against FPX, the hype would be insane, the trashtalk would be insane, twitter would go wild.
This is what NA vs EU rivalry is about! I want to see EMEA fans boo the Sentinels players, or NA fans boo the FPX players, cuz its more hype when they actually win and make the crowd go silent. This is just a game and shouldn't be this serious. This is how football rivalries work too. If Barcelona plays against Real Madrid, and Barcelona win in the Santiago Bernabeu, you want the Barcelona players to provoke the Real Madrid fans and you want the Real Madrid fans to boo them, to be angry and silent, because this is what rivalry is about!
These players are all chill with one another, they respect each other and just say these things to farm twitter impressions and create more hype. You like to claim everyone nowadays is soft, yet you guys are the soft ones and don't even realize it.
FPX vs Optic - will decide who the best team was before franchising (first team to take 2 thropies) + insane crowd and viewership
DRX vs LOUD - first time a region other than na and eu wins a trophy
Optic vs LOUD - if that happens, you can say there really is a rivalry
But let's see who plays the best valorant!
183 cm
77 kg
it's one player tho https://i.imgur.com/DXwSNPY.png
why would they keep their old roster?
this site is recency biased
When it comes to esports, for fans any of the ex ussr countries is cis, the question is, do ukrainian players want to be thrown in there, given current circumstances. Arch certainly not. https://twitter.com/archiliciouz/status/1544349700257886208
Nobody thinks they're bad. Everyone who says that is baiting.
NAVI 2:1
Guild 2-0
100T 2-1
NRG 2-0
We don't know that yet. They have to get a spot if the game is released.
Because the game is not released yet
I dont think they will get one sadly
Really excited to see them in Champions should they actually win LCQ.
According to Ominous (Bleed analyst)
https://twitter.com/_SushantJha/status/1557350798816083969
They're also miles ahead in their region.

If this is true they should win LCQ pretty comfortably. I still have NTH as my favorite tho.
What is your opinion on this?
