This day is over already I'm living in the future

I guess so, maybe I'm thinking it too far.

yeah but if you don't count today because its almost 11PM already and he is still in Serbia(?) obviously the games are during the day/evening so he has time in early day.

Seems like he will be playing against Fnatic. Suygetsu streaming right now... unless he quickly takes flight tomorrow.

Nah OpTic playing well, but KRU looks pretty bad as well

Without Marved OpTic would be already eliminated

Not their day. They have just looked boomed after first half of Split.

Guild would 2-0

KRU looks so disappointing ngl feel like they ran out of gas

Yeah I feel like that as well. That's why I was so relieved when NTH won yesterday. Felt like FPX had higher chance to beat them.

Fnatic doesn't have Scandinavian. Finland > Scandinavian club.

LoL: Caps best player west has ever produced, Wunder, Bjergsen, Jensen, Zven 3 of those are some of the most known in LCS (NA), Broxah and some others, IMO best EU country when it comes to players it has produced and possible in all of west.

Unpopular take, but I would personally rate Xerxia higher than NTH. NTH won over them, but I feel like Xerxia had higher potential to win over more teams or make the games closer.

Based on his clutches alone he should. Like the amount of impact he had in this game and last is just insane. He literally clutched so many rounds and even pistol rounds.

Hopefully FPX instantly plays well with suygetsu.

You can already see the improvements in whole region because of Zeta's success so its really good for Japan's Valorant future. NTH also inexperienced players.

FPX haven't played with him in week or so so maybe he will struggle bit due to that, but on individual level he is better than SEIDER.

2 completely different styles so its going to be interesting

I mean he has visa already and it only takes like couple hours to fly to Copenhagen and if FPX wins this they have 1 day before next game, so suygetsu should have time to fly there. But yeah its still not confirmed there can always be problems.

Yes, suygetsu only plays if FPX win today

FPX, because they have been so unlucky so far this year. Would love to see full FPX play to their true potential on international stage.

Is it though? Isnt it just following last Masters' system

I guess Riot just sees NA and EMEA #2 seeds as strong or even stronger than KR #1 or BR #1 so they kind of expected OpTic to top their group and FPX top their group most likely and well EMEA has 3 so its likely something like this was going to happen. But both OpTic and FPX are now fighting for 2nd seed in their groups.

PLS FPX PLEASE WIN TODAY

?

So LOUD are now title contender when they almost beat OpTic in first round of eliminations? Both teams losing their first games. Don't get me wrong I don't like this format, but just saying that LOUD had their chances but fucked up.

All good. Decent chance against NTH and playing with a sub anyway so even getting here has over exceeded my expectations.

KRU or X10 and eliminating NA team name better duo. So KRU 2-1 close game.

Everyone trash talks everyone, welcome to VLR.

but 2 of them are most likely fake flaggers because I haven't seen many actual Danish on this site. 2 of them making thread after the game is really unlikely even 1 is.

Says you out of any person

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.
