I didn't know SIngapore was in EU lol and 2 of them have Danish flags likely because Copenhagen is in Denmark

LOUD lost 2 games how do they deserve to be in playoffs? With same logic all 4 deserved to be there.

EMEA just to good

holy fuck 5v4 to 4v4 because team nade that's so bad

What logic is this?

Its good only wish you could mute casters can be bit overwhelming at times lol

All you need is:
Analysis: Sliggy (coach perspective), ThinkingMansValo (statistics, all regions)
Entertainment/good vibe(IMO)/decent knowledge: PlatChat
Most active chat aka most viewers/"main" watchparty: Tarik

so my go to combo: ThinkingMansValo before games for statistics, likely map picks etc. and knowledge of teams from all regions, then Sliggy on other screen and PlatChat on other, and then if something cool happens with player I like I will switch quickly to Tarik stream to see reaction. Goated combo.

Pancada was expecting someone to be close A hall and had 1 smoke and molotov but just peaked and died. Bit weird decision making, but they were few rounds behind anyway.

Everyone is as toxic just depends who is winning. So this list just shows region strength.

their individuals look so shaky and lost tbh like how didn't Sacy kill FNS there?

Both bad but maybe cats because they are more independent

Are you dumb or what? You asked "when is the last time FNC did well on global stage?" and I answered you. They have qualified 3 times to global stage and have never "shat the bed" so you can't say "they always shit the bed". And I'm not counting this year's Master due to 2 sub.

Hmm let's see Masters 2 reached finals and Sentinels won who were at that time the best team easily. Champions won their group over Cloud9 and VS even though everyone thought they would get eliminated first. Got eliminated by KRU who were on a heater, so nothing bad about that. Like how can you look at this and say they shat the bed? People who say that don't know what they are talking about. Fnatic were never the favorites outside of maybe Masters 2 2021 but even back then no one knew how teams would match up internationally. Last year Fnatic were literally LAN demons, Derke was playing like shit online but dominated on LAN like most of the team. But for some reason this narrative has swapped to opposite for no reason and its really weird.

True, but those 2 try too hard to be the villains

This statement doesn't make any sense. They have never shat on the bed. I don't even understand where this narrative had came from..

DRX most dislikable team. Always so arrogant. They talk the most shit outside of NA, but no achievements.

terrible

If they want to stay in EMEA then I would believe so, because I would imagine Riot giving at least 2 slots to CIS and then its just between Gambit/NaVi/FPX and they could even make it as EU team. If they are committed then I think it could happen. But its also possible that they priorities China because they have structure there already and better potential for sponsors and stuff. Hard to say. Hopefully they stay here, but who knows.

Of course they need their stage 2 best individual player and best sentinel player in all of EMEA.

Suygetsu Breeze stats last 3 games:
21/15/6 vs M3C
17/8/4 vs Acend (13-3)
35/10/5 vs Acend
Top frag every match and those numbers don't even do proper justice I feel like. So many important kills and even clutches. His 1.34 K:D on Viper should explain.

How can you say that when they didn't play with their full roster? You realize how much even 1 sub change the team chemistry and how they play? Especially when that sub can't even put similar individual performances. Its weakened individual talent + change in how the team plays. They even changed comps on Breeze for some reason. I would still give Fracture to DRX just because DRX were playing well against FPX's comp (suygetsu still way better anchor than SEIDER), but Breeze could have gone either way.

False. SEIDER had really bad Fracture and Breeze while those are usually the maps where Suygetsu shines. He couldn't do anything much at all. Add to that the comp changes on Breeze that likely happened because they don't have as much trust in SEIDER. ANGE1 looked so lost playing Fade when he usually play Yoru. Suygetsu would have made big difference.

Won map against top 5 team with a sub so go cry

Unlucky. No Suygetsu to drop +20 every Breeze.

Could be, but he is also clutch af and good at holding sites especially. Def best Fade util I would say.

EMEA initiators too fucking good and we haven't seen Enzo yet.... he is arguably the worst out of the 3 but he is still insane. Pretty similar stats to EMEA Shao actually.

quickly changing my settings

Shao looked so shaky yesterday, but today he's been popping the fuck off

Based on babysasuke comments I assume he is still in school

Both live in similar timezone, because no way anyone wakes up before 8 AM even if Valorant games are going. Meaning both live in east... Hmm.. coincidence? I don't think so.

Chicken, kebab meat, feta cheese, pineapple is my favorite combo from one of my favorite places so no

FPX 30%-70% DRX with subs. DRX usually starts strong though and then fall quickly so everything is possible. For example RB looked good in first game, but he is usually bad LAN player so who knows can he keep performing today.

mid part?

I guess its just different values depending on where you are from mixed with baits and trolls. In some cultures you aren't supposed to disrespect your parents at all and this can be seen as disrespecting by some.

In my opinion that whole situation is still fucked and I would have destroyed my dad's stuff as well and moved away. Completely sickening stuff from the dad and should get his mental checked. But again all people don't see it like this depending on culture and values.

Finnish, but if you go far into ancestors of each grandparent its possible that there are little bit from Russia and maybe from Sweden. I'm pretty sure quite many Finnish people do at least from one of them.

Russ was really important clutching out some really important rounds in OT, but going -22 is still not good no matter what role you play. Especially when he activated and started fragging in last rounds on last map it would have been even worse if those didn't happen.

my fucking heart

we need compilation of barrbarr cam

same

So frustrating to watch at times.... They are just waiting waiting waiting. Getting to site not planting.

Would be amazing on paper, but will not happen.

Why would G2 get rid of hoody?

Nothing bad about that game. KRU map pick + KRU won both pistols if I'm not wrong. Russ not hitting shots was bit shiet tho. Also their force round was shit.

DRX should win, but I feel like DRX could be better fit for FPX. DRX kind of closer to EU style and have more set stuff if I'm not wrong. While Xerxia is all over the place.

nah its going to be close. Good maps for KRU.

Masters 3 Acend wasn't prime Acend. They were shaky af and couldn't adapt at all. But I don't underestimate DRX. I think DRX should win 70%.

Of course. You act like other regions and their fanbases didn't act arrogant and cocky after Masters 1?

with a sub replacing their best player kekw

I didn't say that. Just saying losing to team with a sub is bad. You realize that everything doesn't have to be bad/good? Xerxia can do good thing but that doesn't mean its bad for FPX.

I didn't say that what are you talking about? They can win and all good, but if they lose its bad. Really simple logic. While if FPX loses it isn't problem because they are playing with a sub and still took a map.
