Kinda true I guess, but UK is doing well in tier 2

haha wtf

Pretty meh. Looks really basic like just default skin with the oni mask. Knife is kind of cool but looked hella big and distracting. Vandal sounded pretty good but look kinda meh.

nice lol pato actually means dam in Finnish. But overall Patu/Pate is just Finnish version of Pat

Patu irl nickname from my real name and j in the end just to make it unique so the username was available

NAVI haven't been really tested yet, but I would say I've been most impressed by them so far.
NAVI > DRX > LOUD > FNC > LEV > 100T, for me I would say based on what I've seen, but ofc its hard to say because some teams may do well vs some and suck vs others so idk

Yeah Furia looked good here and I liked their calling

tbf Alfajer pretty much won them couple of important rounds with his heroic

Yeah that is true as well. I feel like we even saw some of that vs SEN. Just peaking bit too much and maybe being too confident.

yeah some clear miss comms from Fnatic or again being too confident like yesterday vs SEN on some rounds

True, but tbf they have no idea what to do vs this comp

What was Furia Jett doing tho? Did he get flashed or what. Or he was just scared of CT push and thought his teammates would handle Boaster

IMO yay is more consistent, but I would even go and say Leaf peaks can be higher than yay peaks not sure of this year tho

FUT is throwing so many rounds its actually crazy

everytime 100T loses or has a close map = enemy team was good lol at this rate EDG and FUT are on their way to dominating 2023

If Turkish teams always played with confidence they would be so good. Turkish teams are known as scrim demons and I believe part of that is because they don't give a fuck and out aim everyone.

This is why Aspas and Derke owns other duelists

BUT GUYS EDG AND FUT ARE S TIER TEAMS THAT IS WHY 100T IS LOSING MAPS!!!

Turkey has multiple insane duelists some of them just are bit inconsistent. qw1 is one of those.

I don't know about 100T's unluckiness when they were ninja defuse away from being eliminated let alone all the overheats by EDG. But yes they should win over FUT.

I think everything is fine. Both KOI and GIA had to face NRG. KCorp and BBL were heavy underdogs vs LOUD/DRX. TH had their chances to make it deeper, but their first game vs EG was 50/50 and they lost. And even outside of those I didn't have much hope for KC, BBL or TH. KOI and GIA have great potential IMO, but as I said they had to face NRG first. Both teams need more time.

On Omega bracket ofc tl flopped hard, but I don't think its end for them. Their individual talent is really high and I have no doubt that they will do great once the regional season starts. Its single elim, first official together. VIT showed a lot of potential here, just need to work on map pool and pistols lol. They showed that they have enough firepower to compete, something that many were concerned over. And well we haven't seen much of FUT so hard to say, but again I don't expect much from them.

And then you have FNCand NaVi who both have showed a lot of good stuff already and if they can keep up both of them are great reprentives with chances of winning titles.

Overall KOI, GIA and VIT showed a lot of potential and can be really good in the future, TL flopped here but their potential is still really high and will likely improve a lot from what we saw. FNC and NaVi already look strong. KC, BBL, TH and FUT trolled with their rosters IMO, but too early to tell. Overall I think its completely fine and I believe we will send strong teams to Tokyo.

Ofc they have to work on them, but I would imagine it being pretty hard tho. I don't know I just think pistol rounds are kind of bs to begin with. Those just work really differently to rest of the rounds and are flippy even tho going 0-10 shows they really arent lol but still. Like SkRossi said they just need to stay together. I think they already did well in Haven attack where they got a plant and got to 5v2 situation but then they got ninja defused. But in that round they just hit a site together and then did aggro play by crunching A link. Worked well and something they can try to copy in the future I think. Some teams just over think pistol rounds while good pistol team usually just do aggressive "dumb" plays.

Has to be DFM. They looked like the worst team in the tournament and their strats looked so outdated.

these fucking youtube clips just dont work for me wtf

Yeah their pick and bans were troll. Like they banned Lotus over Ascent last while they kind of rolled over GE once they got momentum. I guess they have their reasons, but I feel like they are forcing Pearl way too much while it hasn't been amazing.

True, but Pearl was painful to watch. Vitality's Pearl just looked ass vs GE and LEV but they still picked it. Kind of crazy they picked Pearl and let Ascent through that is likely LEV's best map. Really weird map veto and I don't truly get it. Like play Lotus or something.

its actually crazy

Yeah their Pearl attacks looks so bad

they have killjoy, fade and kayo and no one checks art

Why wouldn't I be calm? I don't rate LEV super high yet, but they are still favorites here. I think Vitality showed a lot of great stuff and teamplay like I expected. No pistol wins and some throw rounds and still kept it so close and arguably even looked better. They showed a lot of potential.

yeah sadly they felt bit shaky in last rounds, but nice try from them even if they threw rounds

I mean I think people shit too much on Vitality because of their game vs GE. They lost Pearl, but the other 2 maps were pretty one sided. Also GE had a lot of footage of Vitality playing Pearl.

Twisten Molsi duo is strong

They played so well and then 2 long/3 garage fuck

new map plus once the side changed it was gg

Don't get this either. Whole Liquid looked like shit can't really blame on single player. I can understand some soulcas slander considering that he didn't perform well, but don't get the Jamppi hate.

tbf that's FPX classic. FPX was always one of if not the best anti-strat team and they also had different comps to counter what the enemies would do. So its possible they specifically played Cypher here today and then play something else next Icebox.

True, but I feel like NaVi's Icebox has always been bit shaky while Team Secret's Icebox is pretty good

I mean guy has already pretty much landed himself a spot in Valorant esport scene even if his pro career ends so pretty good from him

True, but also they had just added cNed and apparently Parla have been destroying in scrims and even NaVi assistant coach seemed to be more impressed by them than LOUD(scrims). Liquid coach called them insane as well.

way too early

I think they just need more time

True, but also this new Fnatic has way more firepower than the last one so they should close out more rounds even by individual play

I think they should sign stax as igl and Mako as controller player and while at it add rb, Buzz and Zest

yup really hope he does well

Makes sense. DRX is same old team and NaVi only had to change one player. Out of any top tier team those two are the only ones with no more than one player change. LOUD and Fnatic both made more changes.

Still up in the air for omega bracket. NaVi looked good, but they weren't really tested. Leviatan looked good, but if you ban Ascent from them I don't know how well they will do in BO3 against good team. Fnatic looked good here, but Sentinels looked bit meh and I still think Fnatic allowed some risky moments to happen. And 100T was about to lose to EDG if it wasn't for their spike stick so I'm not super high on them and have never been, but they can bounce back. So hard to say who will win out of those 4 if those games happen.

It was part of the show

FNS. No other IGL in NA is even close as proven. Stellar played well yesterday, but he hasn't achieved much of anything yet.

True, but it makes sense with this comp. Leo's Breach is really nice, but they chose to not play him.
