Unlucky MIBR.

I believed in MIBR too much, but god damn Talon look nuts.

Crws really fits in the smokes role, and garnetS is primed to be a superstar.

Look, even as an EA apologist, DFM looked woeful.

Berlin used a normal crosshair.

Lotus W

Also no Astra on Lotus? She's pretty sick on that map.

If ZETA wins this, they are going all the way 100%.

Good acid test for both teams.

Man, this website loves to switch up, huh?

Many people thought that Wippie was very underrated back in his V1 days, so much so that when G2 signed him, a lot said that a) G2 is going to ruin his career or b) he deserves better.

So why switch up now? Why call him a bot or a pathetic player? Over some drama? Remember the XSET-FPX fiasco? When people were shitting on both teams? Now, look, not a word about it anymore. It happens all the time, water under the bridge later on.

Soon, this will be a lighter issue since both parties will eventually move on.

Wow, look at the difference between playing Chamber and playing Jett.

That’s more like it. RC looked very fluid. It was nice change of pace.

REJECT stop forcing Chamber challenge (impossible)

Like i have no idea why they’re forcing NERFED chamber.

I am trying to believe in RC, but NTH are on fire

NTH 2-1

Giga easy 2-0 SDC

Extremely common Seulgi W

Oh shit, the first pro match on Lotus

Dope

Give a watch to see what the meta might look like.

Federal NRTC Rate: 26,296 * 15% = (3,944)

Banger game

2-1 CR

Wouldn’t mind if SZ won though.

What’s with the downvotes on those who think ZETA’ll win?

That being said, ZETA win against both.

Stable team structure beats spontaneous gameplay IMO.

FL fries 2-0

Based for adding runneR and SyouTa

Why are we all doubting mCe? The man has proven himself to be a good coach.

He first started his gig with Gen.G, and they actually looked marginally competitive under him.

And let's remember what he did with The Guard; he transformed a young team into one of NA's best. They went from Open Quals to winning Challengers and going to their first-ever LAN, all in 4 months. Despite stage 2 being a misstep in the meta, they nearly qualified for Champions.

You can't deny that mCe can't transform C9 into a powerhouse like he did with The Guard; not only that, he worked with leaf, vanity, and xeppaa so he knows how they work.

Qpert isn't a sub; he's a coach.

He was filling as the sixth man until they found a real sub.

Or, for all we know, both BlackHeart and Qpert are subs.

Is anyone having this 1 in a million issue, or is it just me?

Sent ticket after ticket to the support page because they aren't showing in my ticket history.

Anyone here more experienced with these issues?

I was malding when SZ and JDT were in the same group.

But i was more annoyed when CGZ, BC Swell, Blue Bees, and Varrel were in the same group because all 5 of those teams are better than IGZ and RC.

Easy FL Bounceback 2-0

Easiest 2-0 for SZ.

Finally, we get to see the fabled Astra-Yoru-Omen comp on Icebox.

For me, I wish BC Swell or Jadeite made it instead of IGZIST.

LETS GO THEY PICKED ICEBOX.

Might finally see that wild Astra-Yoru-Omen comp live.

Banger match

FL 2-1.

They’ve been getting better and better, but SCARZ are no pushovers.

Credit to where credit is due, Meteor 2.0 is looking really good. A few competitions under his belt and he’ll eventually become the next Jett prospect.

What an absolutely awful final map.

Keep in mind, FL smacked NTH 13-3 on breeze yesterday.

I seriously don’t get why Sengoku’s forcing double duelist all the time— it’s not like Fisker can’t flex.

A week ago, I would’ve said Maru without hesitation.

A week later, and i think NS looks really good.

2-1 NS

Unfortunately, REJECT will continue their struggle. Hopefully they pick Icebox tho.

2-0 CR.

After NTH’s performance,

2-0 Something Gaming.

where sengoku and SCARZ flair

Underrated:
KOI (the darkhorse)
MIBR (old VK Champions 2021 core + bzka -- the Champions 2022 winning coach)
ZETA (have a lot to prove post-Copenhagen + they're against a top contender for LOCK//IN)

Overrated:
LOUD (hot take, but just because they have aspas and less doesn't mean they'll be the same powerhouse they were since they lost two members of their core and their coach)
100T (not overrated per se, but they need to be consistent if they want to prove their dominance this year)
FNC (i actually like this team, but it's always the same cycle of "add two players --> look good for a while --> "it's their tourney to win" --> struggle in internationals --> make new changes"

Same concept, different content.

Plat Chat is for the casuals/gateway to Valorant -- basically, the fun side of podcasting where they can theory craft.

The Wisemen is for the player's psychological and analytics -- a pro's perspective of how the game works.

There's no point in comparing the two just because they do Valorant podcasts.

Yeah Fennel went kinda crazy there.

SyouTa and CLZ are a one-two punch duo.

I stand corrected.

Fennel look pretty insane rn, can’t lie.

banger alert

2-1 FL

RC bounce back from a streak but the road gets harder from there.

2-1 RC (IGZ pull off one)

Maru shouldn’t be struggling THIS much.

But nearly a good comeback from them.

REJECT pick Icebox today

2-1 RC

2-1 Something Gaming

Two Russians diff

Hironnn is a hero.

Unlucky for SG, Something and Vici dropped 73 kills total and they STILL lost.

Late pred but FL 2-1

SG is gonna put up one hell of a fight tho
