grown men invested in a billion dollar company farming them of money and time. are you the same guy who has 1.4k posts in vlr within 2 months?

kc honestly dont look taht good , fnatic def can beat them would say that is a 50 50 game

if fut dont make shanghai that would be a gigachoke

3rd slot should be the winner of heretics navi

still dont know if he was just toxic to a few people who just happened to be brazillian or if he is just racist

but either way u gotta seperate the player from the person when it comes to competition

current form loud prolly 26-0 optic
all the optic players stock are super low other than fns

nah their map pool massively improved after madrid , their icebox ascent and breeze were all ass at madrid with old comps
once they started perma banning breeze and their split / sunset / bind / lotus / icebox are all good with gekko , only ascent is a weak map for them

i just think valorant right now is very snowbally and very random
just look at pacific , T1 beat geng when we all know the 3 best teams are prx geng and drx

i honestly think they look waay better their scoreline suggests but that eg series is completely inexcuseable

true and based
sen > nrg

i mean yea its worse
its crazy to me that their form fell off this much considering how little of time has passed , also basically no meta changes
cant give any excuse tbh

8 team masters is not ok

coming from a 6 month offseason with completely new meta and a single elim playoffs bracket is by far the worst format riot has come up with

ah yes the 2 worst na teams havent made shanghai , must be a mickey mouse

sen the 2nd ever team after acend to get grouped regionally after winning an event

ya if this ends in 13-2 there will be a bo1

atleast now people realise how nerfed loud is

geng just massively choked the upper finals
unlucky for apac cuz drx minimum get top 6 at shanghai

i really wanna see how sen plays in playoffs if g2 somehow choke this
they might just qualify to shanghai cuz they werent even supposed to be here

sadge
could have been the first ever b2b and 2x , classic riot L

ya xD
single elim playoffs
valorant esports really regressed year by year with these formats

this t1 situation is waay worse cuz TL atleast won the split

they play 11 matches a year bro wdym overwork
also im not saying bo5 every match , im saying bo5 for qualifying matches
there have been useless regional bo5s in the finals for the past 3 years im pretty sure games that ACTUALLY matters will be more interesting and more competitive

d0ran the only fraud
viper is good
peanut will hopefully bring some stability

wdym bad for the players and coaches , its their job?
when league of legends has EVERY game from regional playoffs to internationals a Bo5 with 170 diff champions i dont see their coaches or players complaining

also what about the fans? why should fans settle for worse teams at masters cuz riot cant format shit

who is the zeka in ur name?
is it drx zeka ?

sadly only 2/3 of our actual best teams will make it
if KRU LEV and loud/100t make it they might be stronger
prx and geng also look good

sometimes i just hate how easy it is to upset in valorant , and riot makes it worse with dogshit format
every qualifying game should be a bo5 but riot will never do that

they just need to play their own game and stop trying to copy the "best comps"
they thrive in chaos but they try to stabilize and control the game
ever since tokyo they tried to improve fundamentally and they regressed cuz of it

just look at FPX , they played reyna chamber yoru double controller on lotus etc and just play with their own identity

honestly think its the opposite tbh
they lost their identity by trying to play like the west
i think they lost their confidence cuz of getting stomped by the west at internationals when in theory they should be "fundamentally better"

nah they comeback

i know bro was waiting YEARS to post this
have ur moment bro talk shit about him when u can

emea had 1 team playing 2 matches a week (5 weeks)
pacific also had multiple teams playing 2 matches a week (4 weeks)
americas gave alpha teams a week off and did super week where everyone played 2 matches (5 weeks)

weird way to format considering how during the super week u had 4 leagues running at the same time

sen vs 100t h2h

might be unrelated but can someone with info lmk
doesnt Chinese govenment have issues with geng because geng said taiwan is a seperate country and they wouldnt have been able to go to china
they didnt air the geng games on bilibili during madrid and mentioned them as opponents

weird scenario cuz GENG in League just qualifed to msi which is in chengdu china , havent seen their players arrive at china or play soloq in league aswell

we all know they are a gatekeeper team that would never make masters with this core
and why pacific teams hating on prx as if their team would do anything internationally , they are ur best team by a mile

and omen 1 ways and recharing smokes he def is due a nerf

either buff astra or remove 1 tp from omen , 2 tps wayy too much mobility

honestly this sounds alot more possible than what happened in emea this week

yes bro let me just stop watching any games and worry about heretics vs navi as if i have control over the game

the cope is craaaazy

what?
they face the teams in their group
and they already rolled them if u think sen are going to make a deep run in playoffs

just sen fans coping
first international of every year is the best chance for a team to go on a run cuz of the new meta
the rest of the year is just more competitive in every aspect

new sen cope dropped

really?

dont think single elim is good in valorant
game is just way to snowbally and random

omega playoffs teams are undefeated against the alpha playoffs teams xddd
nice format riot

look ratings per map it usually is around 1.2 for a player performing good , it's only when it's combined with the other games it goes down

1 is avg
anything below 1 is bad
anything above 1.20 is good

sage is good into gekko kayo/breach comps cuz she can disrupt hits / retakes

its so hard to tell how good a sentinel lurker really is cuz it depends on team comms so much

nah they played stage 1 with the same roster , purp0 only subbed in for their final match vs BBL in stage 1 cuz zeek had personal issues
they changed their roster for split 2

i think we got the peak vlr reactions already from sen and nrg loss to lev and eg
most people have accepted that both these teams are mid rn

then nah atleast not till they rebuild for 2025

cant be saying that with ur flair
