Its not too far off, obviously hard to tell. Considering that M3C is in same group with them who are arguably best in the world and then you have both FPX and TL who are pretty comparable to top NA teams (Guard, V1, Optic, C9). So LDN UTD and NaVi are pretty comparable to SEN and XSET.

M3C 2-1 GLD (if M3C let Breeze through otherwise 2-0)
G2 2-1 TL

!!!!

v1 underperforming

Yes, but stuff like this isn't only based on scorelines. You can see it in their gameplay. Looks pretty sloppy from them when compared to groups. And this is elimination game.

I don't know V1 really hasn't been looking as good in playoffs as they did in groups.

I don't know man being Jett OTP in 2022 is little concerning.

still Jett one trick player

3 out of 4 RedBull cars out PepeLaugh

Considering that 3 out of 4 semifinalist teams in Champions were from EMEA, its pretty safe to say that EMEA is the best region currently.

but they aren't from USA that I was referring to in this comment and that I even corrected in my reply. And you can even assume that from original comment that was comparing British and American. Wouldn't make sense to compare country to 2 continents.

Yeah, but "American" literally means person from USA in this context. That's their official name. As much as "British" for someone from UK (obv they have Welsh, English, Scottish etc but overall).

Citizens of USA are called "Americans". That has nothing to do with continents. Plus everyone knows what South- and North America are. USA is just referred as "America" sometimes when that word is literally part of their name (United States of America).

Yes? Continent that is made out of 23 countries. But in esports we only refer USA and Canada as NA. I don't know what are you talking about or maybe baiting dunno

No? "American" can technically mean person from the continents of South America and North America, but "American" commonly means a person from the country of The United States of America like in this case. Saying 0 from NA would have been even worse for you guys. We are talking about countries, not about continents if you didn't realize that.

2 British players in Champions semis 0 American players in Champions semis. Just saying...

I guess that is true, but no promising EMEA player would go to play for Bleed unless they got paid well. Also 6 figures can mean like little over 100k that isn't crazy amount for some teams.

or maybe purp0 is the 6 figures player hmm

M3C, but FNC could win in BO5

Trent is trent
nAts is nuts

both insane players

more like "why NA is the home of imports" lol

just joking NA friends

if Sentinels lose they lost because Tenz has ping lag!!!

Acend isn't "much worse than Gambit" when they are playing their A game.

LDN UTD underrated team

Having Chronicle and nAts in same team should be illegal like wtf

True. Just kind of sad that EMEA doesn't have 8 team playoffs. Imagine adding Acend to that with Omen and Brim buffs (if they made it past BBL) or Navi/LDN UTD who are great underdog teams.

Sad for Navi, but great showing from them! Good experience and could return really scary.

M3C, Fnatic, Team Liquid
just copying last year's script

I just hope they go back to more traditional stuff next patch...

I also want to point out that people usually just get used to certain type of mousepads and it will be just about your preference after that. Its not like mouse where the shape or size can affect how it fits you. Most cheap mousepads are made out of cloth I'm pretty sure, so there most likely isn't going to be that big of a difference, but obviously its better.

Mousepad is important. Really underrated as well. There's big difference between some mousepads and what material they are made from are they control (like qck) or speed etc. Obviously then the differences between let's say different control cloth pads (like qck heavy, qck+, g640...) isn't going to be that big, but comparing them to MPC450 (speed) is really different.

M3C vs FNC unless EMEA gets fucked by restrictions.

edit: I actually cracked it. Challengers 1 so far is literally following 2021 script. Acend gets eliminated early after winning Masters 1 EU and now Champions. Fnatic makes roster change and starts pounding in EMEA. Like in 2021. V1 activates out of nowhere and starts doing well in NA with players like penny fking. Just like in 2021. And what happens next is that Liquid's position looks rough currently, but somehow they end up winning EMEA in playoffs. Kind of like what happened in 2021. And C9 who is the #1 NA team will get first NA spot and everyone is rating them lower than EMEA teams and then they end up winning. Just like what happened with Sentinels. Also you have high hope Brazil superteam who is supposed to dominate and then they end up disappointing like Vikings in 2021, LOUD now.

so final is FNC vs C9

I would guess something like 187cm, because he is shorter than Jamppi who is over 190cm

KUNDIKUNDI I guess BIG coach

Hard to tell. There are many good teams. I'm pretty sure about M3C and Fnatic personally, but 3rd spot FPX, TL, Guild, G2, maybe NaVi is hard one. FPX looks good, TL still has bunch of potential just based on their individual players, G2 looks good and has improved so much in short time, NaVi looks decent like its hard.

good decision making after fucked up nade

but its sucks so much. If we had NA system we could see Acend with new patch (I think they would qualify over BBL or SMB even if they lost). Also all 4 Gambit, TL, NaVi and FPX are worthy of playoff spot and even LDN UTD looks decent. So sad that we will lose some of these teams already.

I guess it had something to do with EMEA regional leagues

I'm more worried about Viper in Gambit's case and the possible change of pace. I think Redgar (or whoever) shouldn't have problems playing Omen and it could also be really good for some of their set plays. Also same with Brimstone. But, nAts' Viper was so important for them in a lot of maps and I don't know how they would adjust if Viper becomes off-meta. But, luckily his Astra looks good + he is individually really good and smart so maybe it won't be problem for them.

True, but what I mean is that they are really known for their Viper and Astra play and overall more slow playstyle (they added bunch of fast stuff though). I think they will be one of the top teams that will be most negatively affected by this. But you are right they are flexible.

ok tbh meta change could affect them, but damn are they good in so many aspects.

M3C/Gambit will win everything this year

I wonder is this some sort of preparation for next patch with Viper and Astra nerfs. Maybe nAts will start playing controllers if Viper become irrelevant agent.

Don't be toxic towards Gambit guys for no reason. They are some of the most wholesome guys in Valorant scene (based on what we've seen).

Its good mousepad, but I wouldn't call it fast. Its pretty much the opposite with being control pad. You know when you try some speed pads lol

forsen played Valorant for a bit as well. I know crazy.
