There is lowkey a world where 4/8 of playoff teams are from china.

EDG and Trace very likely qual
Can’t imagine Bilibili not making playoffs
FPX got an easy group where all they have to do is beat Heretics the second time they play

i know its probably the most hype as possible for a group, but realistically SEN should be going out this group 0-2 or 1-2.
even after the long break they had between splits 1 and 2, they were only able to pull out wins against KRU, C9, and NRG the entire split.
GENG and FPX should be heavily favored to make it out of this group, with a revitalized TH making things interesting / competitive

yuhh GO HERETICS (honestly even if they lose every match in group B should be full OT 3 map bangers, like i think every team in group B is top 6 material

FNC BLG should be D. i cannot see BLG taking a map off of FNC, especially considering how well FNC's map pool combats BLGs.

EDG FUT should be A. EDG are back in some of their highest form, while
FUT is unique in being one of the only teams to improve placement wise at EVERY global event they've attended
16th in Sao Paulo
10th at Tokyo
8th at Los Angelos
6th in Shanghai

"sen picks [X map] HAHHAA"

is a valid statement, geng just has THAT deep of a map pool. doesnt look good for sentinels

like no way hes top fragging as IGL on a LOSING team. i gen cant think of another team who has bs like that across a whole split

wtf why

primmie loses 0-2 to LEV but puts a good ACS up, his team is doodoo

TLN beats TE 2-0 and primmie farms 300+ ACS

TLN vs VIT banger but TLN upset with primmie fully heated up

n4rr4te to NRG Esports:
he is being held back by troll teammates and NRG needs someone who isn't troll

Sayf to Karmine Corp:
fills the hole left by n4rr4te, as much as kicks/runner/trexx/cender are ok supports i dont think vit will make a good enough run in champs to justify how much of a hard carry sayf is

paTiTek to Team Liquid:
get rid of enzo and mistic, get patitek and someone who isnt a fnc reject so my king nats can go back to intl stage

thoughts?

1 win? what about the 8 other international wins that they got at champs seoul 2024

flair (but yeah wtf am i watching?)

dammn he actually cooked

D:

flair

breakdancing on it

trace are sending g2 home

flair

flair

youre right it should have been liquid, fraudtality

fpx geng (berlin tp, multiple knife kills on lotus)
fpx fut (funny cned roza 10-12 on bind, funny whiffs and shit gameplay)
th g2 lower final (i hate g2 and love seeing them get shit on)
loud geng (1st time ive been seriously impressed at map vetoes, loud fake permabanning breeze was an incredible curveball)

hindsight harry if any team could choose between n4rrate/saadhak and demon1/ethan after last season they would take the latter in a heartbeat

meant to say international but what i said holds up anyway

who cares / determines form from these bummy seeding matches when G2 FPX GENG and TH all came in as regional 2nd seeds to shanghai and looked like the 4 best teams

INTL performance > regional performance as proven by miniboo being 4th best at madrid and GENG winning shanghai

hes had a meh split 2 but GENG also looked meh split 1 before shitting on everyone at shanghai

im waiting until miniboo gets back to LAN cause last LAN he played he had the 4th highest rating in the whole tournament lol

wheres qck

excited for FPX after their showing at shanghai, they brought GENG closer to a loss than FNC(?), 100T and G2 could

Talon too, hope they can snatch wins to make it to playoffs

protocol prism recon

oni is fraudulent

i’m surprised no one has said FUT.

• knocks out the highest placing EMEA team from madrid
• 3rd in the region, opens shanghai by losing to FPX
• beats LEV close 2-1
• shits and dies vs 100T
• beats FNC and plays Heretics a respectable 2 maps

one of the biggest stipulations is them needing EG to lose to MIBR.

not getting my hopes up

OXY isn't disciplined enough. if he was he would be unironically on par with aspas and t3xture

how does this affect 100t's legacy

this is brain damage. please say "fnc weren't expected to win champs 2023" out loud

if pati can play omen / brim on bind and shit

i only remember him playing viper / flash ini but maybe

get patitek in over hiro, hiro might prove himself to be better depending on whether him or leo plays at champs, but rn pati > hiro

geng has lost one international match this year, only to sen. that means sen and geng are the two best teams in the world pogu

i don't really understand what the fuck you're talking about but i'm a liquid fan so i do need help

what about team liquid

so mean

are teams allowed to have more than one cross-regional import

i've had my account for a while and i think you should kiss me

is it that bad? 2nd in kickoff 4th at madrid and 5th/6th regionally split 1. worse than before ofc but saying they shit the bed is just lying no?

hey we should kiss i won't lie

geng for overall success in valorant?

GEN.G went 3-3 in apac split 1, does that make them worse than RRQ, TS, and T1 who have a better split score?

what? shouldn't they have to prove that they are high first? a weaker G2 slammed C9 in split 1 playoffs btw

2nd highest rating in the lobby btw
he had 0.04 less rating than jawgemo (who had arguably the best indiv performance this week)

stuck T1 in there

trace over DRG, FNC has guaranteed qual through champs points, and C9 over NRG

don't jinx friend

the liquipedia overall standings have 100t above G2 even though they have equal series' scores and map scores, and G2 has a better round differential. am i missing something or is this incorrect on their part?

can you kiss me?
