There's bunch of places in Europe with much less covid problems as well. Riot just made mistake by having it in Berlin.

That doesn't change anything? You can still get Covid while being in NA. Only difference is that it wouldn't affect the NA players, but everyone else.

True.

They have all the rights to take that win if Riot thinks that VK should be punished with 7 rounds. I would imagine only reason they did this was because they were getting death threats and would have gotten shit for rest of tournament for no reason.

VK so dumb they decided to use illegal cam setups on Champions match

This is actually what I was thinking as well. Playing from pracc rooms is like playing online, but with better ping. Obviously I think that this whole VK situation may really stress them though. I can just imagine how much shit they are getting for no reason.

How is that Acend's problem?

1. To my understanding Acend didn't even have anything to do with this. Riot had after seeing the clip getting shared all around social media. Riot made the decision.
2. Even if Acend had something to do with this (unlikely) would it be wrong from them? Not really.
   so stop your speculations and only criticize Riot if you feel like it. Leave Acend players alone.

Fnatic played really well and their util usage was insane

Same as with Turkey. There's bunch of toxic Brazilian and Turkish fans who go around and get mad over everything.

hhmm

I WAS DOUBTER IM SO SORRY

LETS GO I HECKIN LOVE FNATIC!!! BUT UNIRONICLY

Crazy to thing that one of those will be eliminated in groups. Who would have thought...

He is so underrated. This is why I picked him to my "EU superteam" couple months back.

This game was full of amazing plays from both teams?

Respect

el clasico of Valorant

if their attack side is really good then might

????? this has to be a bait

Every rounds VS go to empty A site and then Fnatic try to retake with flanks kekw

1

Magnum usually has pretty shaky aim, but he is still getting the job done.

true

Yeah I actually realized op didn't mean that. He meant stax's comment on interview.

nvm

I don't know about this. His peaks have been in Reykjavik and now in Champions. He is really inconsistent online and usually looks little ehh. I don't blame anyone for doubting him. Kind of like keloqz.

0 win% with VS KEKW

TRUEING

Supporting Fnatic, but VS are heavy favorites.

Ofc they are not the best from EMEA currently. Even before Champions it was Gambit > Liquid > Acend > Fnatic.

Respect to VK

Am I wrong though? FNC won over C9 and if VS wins over FNC its VS > FNC > C9.

KR > EU > NA then I guess...

I guess they are like 2nd EMEA seed (?), but realistically they were 3rd best EMEA team going into Champions. And that isn't even copium. They got 3-1'd by Team Liquid in RedBull and even Bind went to overtime. And now I'm talking about ONLINE Acend that is usually better than LAN Acend.

starxo is really good on Skye. Seems to just be onliner and other than that he only plays like Astra on some maps and Sage.

I just don't understand why Acend would change their Breeze comp and move starxo from Skye to Viper? They were good Breeze team with old comp.

Tbh you could have seen this coming. VK were apparently doing really well in scrims and even in Masters 3 they did well. And Acend is Acend.

Ok this match for terrible from Acend outside of their Bind.

In this map yes. Zeek is invisible with his Kay/O, starxo making bad plays and Kiles isn't just hitting much.

wtf was that from Acend. Especially from Zeek

They already trolled by not banning Bind against Acend. Like when will teams learn?

zeek 1 bad game = kick

I'm not a huge fan of that style either, but that's just how Acend plays. And they have shown good results in the past.

Not even to close to as much as Acend gets. There are people who are legit saying that C9 could win whole thing, but then say that Acend are bad because they are too depended on cNed.

Yeah but that's kind of how they play. C9 is all about "Leaf go and kill", but they never get hate for it. Some teams are way more well rounded like Gambit who don't relay on their Jett player, while other teams are all about enabling their Jett for success. cNed is star player, so it makes sense why Acend would play like this. Also starxo was having bad tournament in Mastes 3.

You are really underrating zeek and starxo. Both could be top 20 easily if they have good form.

Kiles whiffed so bad

I think he is performing bad because he has to IGL. He was really good mechanically when he was just controller player.

Vivo Keyd lost the map veto. Acend is really good on Bind and even their Icebox and Breeze are decent. They really seem to trust in Heat with operator, but they have cNed going against them.

Sentinels will win 2-1. Just my prediction even though I think Team Liquid have looked better lately. Its just my gut feeling.
