top 30 LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

W dad(?)

same

both teams have very mechanically talented players so the game should be fun to watch no matter the result!

VAMOS KRU

POG

no shot lmfao

hooray

> caring more about the glamour than the competition

skill issue

if M3C qualifies, I think this has a high chance of being true.

they were given the opportunity to play in the first APAC LCQ, but they supposedly refused due to ping related reasons.

no way are you the real edward? edward from the hit gaming club Edward GAMING, (EDG), a professional esports organization based in Shanghai, China?

they feel very lacking compared to a team like PRX. it's usually just prowler -> haunt -> stun, in sequence rather than together. i think the team could become significantly better by developing more elaborate execs so the duels that they inevitably take are better for them.

only happens in NA

chrome and opera gx when i need the vpn

just opened the stream to the hiko clip from literally a year ago

what the fuck are they talking about that requires this clip to be shown

i didn't see KRU at the philly lan

yeah idk what op is talking about

he's had great maps / series throughout stage 2, just not as consistent as he was back in masters berlin

heard one of them is the referee

after seeing this team play again, I think it has a lot of potential. The core of Meiy, Neth, and popogachi all seem to have mechanical talent and good decision-making.

their biggest problem is the super weird roles they play and how they switch every map. I'm not sure if it's because of player preference or some other reason, but I can't see it being very sustainable.

Astell is probably the player that I'd swap out, he hasn't really been getting the impact that many other flex players have shown is possible.

banger

Mitch and Tom are great when shit goes down to the wire, in the more calm situations I feel they're not super interesting to listen to.

why niesow is a cheater:

1. he got banned in another game (without any definitive proof)
2. ????

lmfao

streamer and youtuber now

yeah, I hope a SEA superteam does eventually happen.

there's never been a real chance for a SEA mixed team in Valorant because of the subregion player requirements (3 players from a region to enter in competition)

OG from SA or PRX are the closest things to it.

can confirm i was the cashier

50-60k i think

kekw

LETS GO ONIC

shinichi sakamoto the goat

my favorite is Kokou no Hito

33 kills on the omen, the guy's an absolute monster

nope

two of the japanese desk / casters predded them

Hi guys, I'm the observer at the Asia Pacific LCQ. I wanted to express how honored I am to be the first blind observer at a VALORANT tournament in history. Thank you Riot for this amazing opportunity, and I'll try my best!!

API access to the match somehow i guess

i know platchat had an overlay thing for Copenhagen that did something similar

how can you write if you're deaf?????? literally fake...

if they qualify for champs their chances are 100% because that means RIOT 100% are rigging the fuck out of it

bro streamed 180 hours over the last 30 days, he's right at home

I think support agents (and utility in general) would've become more efficiently used, no matter what the meta was, in time: it's the nature of a competitive game.

0/8

bro why are you posting your comments in multiple threads

imo ONIC, BOOM, and BLEED all have consistently solid fundamentals. They fall apart in moments but that will happen to almost every LCQ team worldwide.

def agree about the international thing. I haven't seen a team at this event that I think would go far in Champs yet.

Viet teams have been getting better though? This was already established in last stage's playoffs, where Fancy did significantly better against teams like FW, Bleed, and Secret. Griffin is the real fluke team, they beat Gaimin Gladiators (only escaped playins due to a fluke win against PRX) and a MITH that utterly collapsed in that series to get out of groups.

It's always been known that top Indo teams have parity, just look at any of the ONIC games against BOOM or AEGO, they're always relatively close. Also, reducing a 10-13 and 17-19 to a 2-0 doesn't really do it justice. Either way, I felt that both the teams showed solid fundamentals in that series, at least till the depths of OT.

Finally, I don't think any of the teams I've watched so far have tried to replicate the PRX playstyle. They have their own, after all! However, they have taken inspiration from PRX, like ONIC using the smoke-recon combo on Ascent (technically that originated in NA, through Seal Team 6, but I digress)

they've been trolling since day 1

the number of times they've switched off a player that was just about to do something worth watching is insane

why do you think so? from what I've seen so far, all the teams have improved save for some (Secret and perhaps MITH)

i don't think they're a fluke team, they just haven't improved as much as everyone else in APAC.

so i suppose calling them washed would be more accurate

VRL Spain was supposed to have orgs from Italy, Portugal, and a few other countries other than Spain. LVpes instead gave those teams (example: SAW) 0 slots in favor of organizations that at the time didn't even have any rosters.

8 or 9 of the 10 teams were invited and they all were Spanish-based, with only a single open qualifier team.

tldr: riot gave management to lvpes who did a bad job

OG Nuturn was super fun to watch, sucks the roster fell apart after that single tournament.
