NV looking good, maybe it's a honeymoon similar to Tenz in master 1 but it's working out.

Understandable, Challenger 1 r the creams of the crop already and Challenger 2 is the 2nd chance for teams that got upsetted.

Playstyle wise, NA is a lot more uhh diverse (for better or worse idk) so G2 will work better against some teams more than the others.
Also, honestly don't know who's gonna be no. 4 in EMEA but rooting for Guild just becuz theyre slept on.

NA:

1. SEN cuz they deserve it
2. XSET looking really good, their playstyle should work well against the common EU style
3. TSM cuz we need a dark horse.

EMEA:

1. ACE cuz they deserve it
2. G2 cuz they look like they will be fantastic after some time
3. Gambit cuz their style is sick.

Honestly for now becuz theyre the best team so in a map nobody knows how to play, theyll come out on top. Also Rise plays a Sova-less Breeze.

shahzam's playing man...

Oh man when I watch that first match with Scream on KAY/O, it was in no way, shape or form tier 1 Valorant.

very sane and dareisay basic. u dont think there will be an upset?

So basically the ranking of which team has the biggest fanbase.

Because Liquid looked like they peaked in the qual for Berlin. And the problems they had back in Iceland, it doesnt look like they found a good solutions for them yet. I know u r a liquid fan but no one's hating on liquid i swear, just some observations.

except for supermassiveblaze who im not familiar with. I see where she comes from.

bruh shahzam?

Calling it right now, FPX will choke first game in Berlin.

I agree that the pr wont be as bad as ppl think but 100T is a hella big org with big socials. Kinda a shame cuz ppl starting to forget how good he is.

Unpopular opinion:

There is a very high chance (around 60%) that this is the last tournament that Hiko plays in professional valorant.
He is getting old, washed, and tired, I think that if 100T fails to make Berlin he could step down and decide to do streaming fulltime.
He knows he is the weak link on the team, you can see it on his face during interviews.
I am not trying to hate just speaking the truth so Hiko fans can brace themselves.

Purer yes.
Zekken gonna get ping diffed

Dem boys got IGL diff. Look at XSET, dephh turns to igl and immediately beat Sentinels one match. IMT lost JCStani's IGL and flumped.

yeah but he is observant, even when he eats or chats with J9, he always has at least some awareness to the little plays, the minimap, unless it's a one-sided game then there is nothing to say anyway.

he's attentive to the game. other watchparties just turn into a just chatting stream after 15mins

Boaster asking for permission so if he can, prolly him. If not, old shroudy and j9 r always entertaining.

dizzy for Master 1, C0M for stage 2 after their BBG loss, or is it the other way around i cant rmb.

Tbh, if there is a NA team that will struggle integrating Tenz, it should be 100T.

like a match for each of ur eyeball???

... wut?

that match can only go 2 ways,
either it will go to multiple overtimes or 100t will stomp Faze. Hopefully the first, we deserve good matches.

prolly TSM v NV, Shroud likes good matchups

Which match will you guys be tuning into primarily and why?

1. SEN vs RISE
2. NV v TSM
3. 100T v. Faze
4. LG v XSET

XSET and Sen very likely, Envy is consistent but sure has a history of losing to teams on a hot streak (Faze, C9B, V1)

lmao NRG S tier players D tier team.

I know that Sen thinks Acend is the strongest EU team andG2 and Gambit are rlly good but Sentinels never scrim FPX tho, dapr said that when they were at iceland scrimming around, fpx was on vacation.

tbf, Mitch stumbled into the IGL role cuz no one else could. So I guess he would just stop calling completely and let Vanity igl and replacing Xeppaa in the roster

Envy has a cool power concept. That's it. Also his ending was probably the best amongst all of FMAB chars.

nah the other 4 aint in a bootcamp, they play in texas cuz they live there.

Uhh except that BONECOLD's the igl, not Starxo.

werent u a c9 blue fan?

Boaster, Zombs, Tarik and SicK are all really fun to watch. Not overly theatrical and just casual humor.

Kinda sad tho, the manner in which he was benched.

To be fair, he has a point, even if he is as good as Tenz, a cracked out player barely entering a new team can only be as good as that team allow him to be.

Wow, yay is actually going berlin wtf

... that's not how it works mate.

nah no one actually trust the vlr ranking

Gambit's a scrimbux team. They dominates in scrims and so every hypes them up. But scrims aint matches.

Fnatic. Team Liquid has peaked when they qualified for Reykjavik.

It was 40+ rounds, it felt like not just GenG lost, us viewers lost, the caster slost, the event organizers lost, the server fucking broke. But hey at least TSM got the dub.

Funny thing is the match hasn't ended yet. One more map, plz let it be a stomp.

V1-T1 went through 3 maps and ended already and theyre here crashing the server. Please let it end

Somebody please end this misery.

Get him to learn Raze. Tenz's been made to learn Raze for Sentinels.

Poor him, let the kid have fun playing videogame.

Boaster is the reason fnatic was great. Now, he might be part of the problem.
