yes they won Iceland but in reality I feel like NA is a pretty weak region. They only have 1 good team that can compete internationally,
and the only reason they were able to win Reykjavik 2022 is because the top EMEA teams couldn’t play because of travel restrictions and Covid. So basically Optic had no competition.

also I kinda feel like this run was a bit of a fluke. They lost to Xerxia at the beginning and Loud in the upper finals so they are definitely not as strong as everything thinks but somehow they won it at the end so idk I still think FPX, prime Fnatic and even Gambit are all higher in the rankings than Optic.

I think when everything goes back to normal we will never see NA, Optic and these random teams again. I mean the last time we had everyone competing normally every NA team got grouped and they had no chance

thoughts?

who knows tbh. They gained alot of experience here and have alot to learn from. It kind of seems like they heavily rely on their players to pop off IMO and I think thats a really bad way to approach the game. Maybe they can fix it and if so then maybe they will be insane still.

This. Not sure what kind of drugs OP is on. This nerf targets oping jetts more than anything else. You just have to think about when to pop your dash cooldown now thats all.

BASED wohe

"worlds finest" like they haven't beat optic

A top 3 regional match up is more skilled than a qualifier?!?!! OMG no way!

unironically NA is rent free in his head. Heavon has been hating NA since HLTV. Dude has a serious complex against NA.

TBH 100T as an org has failed miserably. Making roster changes for the qualifier after beating gambit in a bo3.

how much?

Yeah their second best team last masters was a stream team that went 0-4. Not sure why people have high expectations for them either.

Yeah I'm not sure why people think overwatch players are any good at the game TBH. So far exOW players have shown nothing but incompetence.

biggest "small mistake" i've ever seen. TBH they got outplayed in general

Obviously... its a troll vid? and yes I do actually xD. The only weird thing here is that it seems nothing zombs could do would ever change your opinion about him. You seriously think NO ONE flamed zombs in berlin after going 1-15? Seriously at what point would you even consider cutting zombs? How many poor performances do you need to see in a row?

Until this ONE SERIES? LMAO. Dude theres literally a meme video of zombs going 1-15 vs g2 all over twitter. (and guess what...? that was in Berlin, that video alone is basically flaming him) Are you sure you've even watched any competitive Valorant until today? Should I start calling you gold or blind?

I didn't say I was a top tier analyst but you seem to use rank to discredit people in #25 so you must use it to validate as well no? Your words are starting to lose their weight bud. My guy I don't know how many different people have to tell you repeatedly that this isn't his first bad series or game. All of his last 5 series he has placed toward the bottom and plenty of people were flaming him in berlin but I personally wanted to give him the benefit of doubt. How many more crucial kills does he need to whiff for you realize this... seriously?

Sorry bud no matter how much you type you're gonna have to skip eating for a couple days.

lol we found the SEN bettor. how much BTW?

KRU fans are exactly what BR fans should be passionate but not sending death threats. Grats!

I'm not sure what being a "top tier analyst" has anything to do with it or who/what would classify as one. I certainly hope you don't mean a Radiant astra main because I'm exactly that. Anyways, zombs is getting removed after this series and this world class smoke and follow up whiff. https://gyazo.com/b2650bdcf3dcb67b7638f15eb479a5ce

TBH hes been playing like shit almost every game I've seen. Not even just by kills. His util usage has been pretty poor and even though hes a global controller his util is hardly ever on sites he isn't playing at.

Thats not even possible. Liquid can't be on the same side of the playoffs bracket as SEN since they're in the same group. They would most likely play Gambit or Fnatic.

Well they are certainly inciting hate by suggesting that Sentinels lacked competitive integrity before the facts were even presented to them. I have still yet to see any apology either. Trash talking (zombs) and false accusations (BR influencers) don't hold the same weight.

That still doesn't change his argument?

The random trolls on the internet are one thing but verified influencers in Brazil fuel the flame for this behavior and take no responsibility. THATS the issue.

This is very usual of the BR scene in every esport.

Well you also need to understand that the opportunity in LoL isn't really there in NA. In valorant we still have open qualifiers but in LoL I don't even know how to enter the pro scene. You really don't have a choice other than to stream and brand yourself in NA.

Well I would say hating BR is pretty reasonable considering their fanbase is incredibly toxic and believes conspiracy theories before seeing evidence.

This.

OP thinks everyone in NA can just play games all day. Like... no there are plenty of people that tried to go pro and didn't make it and they went back to their normal jobs.

My guy. EVERYONE starts somewhere. There are plenty of people in the NA/EU scene who work "normal" jobs before they became pro. Its unfortunate that he has to work while playing VCT but again, its not anyone elses problem.

OK and whos problem is that? JP isn't a poor country like I said. Any esport org can invest in a JP/asian team. Team Secret for example is a EU org with an asian team. I would agree that NA "should" be a top region and so far that is the case.

JP isn't a poor country incase you didn't process that you inbred. Your logic is flawed either way. If NA 13-0 every team you'll say: "NA only wins because they have lots of money" If NA lose to minor regions you say "NA should win because they have lots of money." You logic proves that you only made this post to hate on NA and just that.

Most delusional take I've ever seen. People get flamed for playing bad period it has nothing to do with money. JP has plenty of money in their scene and still play like dogshit in every other esport stop trying to find a reason to hate on NA because you have a severe complex.

I pay you guys 1 big mac per 2 players every 4 weeks. Sound good?

I think liquid are favored. "Obliterate" is a little extreme. Should be a close series.

food is one of the most horseshit players NA has to offer. A real tragedy for this team. He clearly doesn't know how to play skye just go watch every game ever hes played her. Constantly wasting flashes or just blinding himself + his own team.

I would imagine maybe flip a coin then 1 team picks first map and then other team picks next 2 then first team picks last 2. I don't ever follow the vetos so its probably different but just a guess :D

was gonna say funny coming from UK but your english is too trash to be from UK

haha the people in the comments getting salty over "body shaming" 2021 really is special.

Yeah bro we know the script. If a turkish team/players beats an NA team: "EU > NA" If an NA team beats a turkish team/player: "NA thinks turkey in EU so dumb lmao!"

Don't pretend like anyone is going to claim Turkey as Asian in this forum or anywhere else because you know it would only bring yourself down another level.

YIKES

because you need to win every game in that bracket anyway or you're eliminated?

the date of the twitter post is after that so...

Losing the match that matters ---> win the seeding match ---> pretend like you just won the grand finals of the tournament when reality is that you're only tied 1-1 across 2 bo3 series.

Zeta Division have played CS for a while actually.

talented sure. friendly? xD if only you really knew

wouldn't be surprised if TSM did something this dumb at this point tbh

who cars

nvm,

congrats you don't have to skip lunch tomorrow to pay for internet
