I mean sure Alfa was the best player in the finals but giving him the MVP would have been bittersweet at best and would have felt more like a consolation.
I don't think he cares about being MVP when his team fought so hard and lost such a big final. I think he would have felt like shit and he would 100% trade the MVP for the tournament win in a heartbeat.
I think it's always better to award the MVP to a player from the winning team regardless of how the players from the losing team performed.
I predicted a PRX vs FNC final correctly but wrong about everything else
I understand the MIBR - Trace argument but purely off of objective tournament placement Sen should be higher than Liquid. Farming China isn't really a valid argument looking at how high Wolves have placed.
Why is Trace higher than MIBR?
Also Sen should be higher than Liquid too right?
According to the Heretics curse, 1 of PRX and Wolves will come first and the other will come third.
So whoever wins G2 vs Fnatic will finish second place
-Foxy9 -Ash +Meteor +Lakia
I'm sure GenG with this new roster would win at least 1 tournament. Perhaps even a mid-year tournament. Perhaps even a mid-year tournament held in China.
In every international Team Heretics have participated in since last year, they have always lost to the 1st and 3rd place teams and only the 1st and 3rd place teams.
Masters Madrid: Lost to PRX (3rd) and SEN (1st)
Masters Shanghai: Lost to G2 (3rd) and GEN.G (1st) Champions Seoul: Lost to LEV (3rd) and EDG (1st)
Therefore, one of PRX or WOL will be winning Masters Toronto, with the other taking 3rd place.

The PRX and Wolves that beat Heretics in Swiss Stage are not the same PRX and Wolves in the upper finals. Those 2 teams have levelled up so much over the tournament. Heretics has no excuses.
But also yes it would have been nice to have Team Liquid in the playoffs they were pretty nice even with the roster fuckery and time prep issues they had.
2 people have perfect playoffs pickems and like 3 other people had perfect Swiss stage pickems but no one has both.
(I have neither sadge)
The company (Vaxee) figured out a way to get him a new mouse asap
I think 3 team groups are pretty bad coz it is actually advantageous to lose your first game.
What I reckon would be better is have a Swiss stage as usual but let the 1st seeds start as 1-0 and have the 2nd seeds play the 3rd seeds in Round 1
Group Omega is free as fuck for PRX in Stage 2 no?
Duelist: forsaken
Initiator: forsaken
Sentinel: forsaken
Controller: forsaken
IGL/Flex: forsaken
How does APAC have less language barrier lol
There's Japanese, Korean, Indo, Malay, some Chinese, Tagalog, Thai + some of these players would've never learnt English as a second language which you can't say for the European countries
Dude was super toxic during the Bleed yay era while being mid as fuck
NBA getting a new winner as well
I think Fnatic is gonna do something cool but yeah so far it's been a bit disappointing
According to my pickems G2 beat XLG but lose to Wolves for the regional parity
Kangkang, t3xture and something are probably the highest peaks I think.
There are probably others who are pretty close in the other regions.
There is not enough prep and scrims you can do that can counter the upgrades and improvements you make by playing and grinding through tournament matches.
The PRX of like 5 days ago would have lost to G2.
Similar situation with Wolves.
This past year all the teams that have never won before have been winning across all sports.
Tottenham Spurs
RCB
Whoever wins the NBA
Some others I don't remember atp
That's why I think South Africa have a shot today, they have the upper hand now as well.
(Also a small reason why I think PRX are gonna win Toronto lol)
Ok last time Swiss teams went 3-1 vs the 1st seed teams, so Fnatic have a shot I reckon
A clutch like that just completely changes the energy of the team
Why is Mindfreak playing on the starting roster instead of Patmen!?
Or is vlr just bugged
Alecks losing his shit has become such a big meme in the Val community that the productions goes out of their way to show him malding more than any other coach.
I've seen pretty much every other coach mald like that when their team is losing but only Alecks gets shit from the community.
Nah they specifically mentioned 'Liquid without nats' lol, I reckon they mixed Wolves up with BLG
Wolves never played Liquid what are you on lol
Mate it's obviously a joke holy fuck
While he did create the role, I don't think it's right to say that no one would lurk in Valorant without him. Some other smart player would've come along and done it themselves, maybe in the same tournament. Valorant was developing really fast in the early years.
No you play within your group again. But they are redrawing the groups.
When an agent is as meta as Tejo is right now, a light nerf won't work.
You forget, they gave Chamber a small nerf before the big one and his pick rate didn't drop at all.
Pansy, Sideshow, Bren, Achillios and Chobra are all pretty incredible.
With a fuckin sheriff too
Confidently saying that the champs winning team is not gonna win when they've made the upper final and haven't dropped a series yet is truly one of the takes of all time
Yes I'm pretty sure predicting is one of his jobs as an IGL
