Love the double down

Changes should be a fun thing to see, I wonder if ardiis goes back to EMEA or stays in NA

Because guild weren't really doing that well at the time, koldamenta really trolled guild, they had both Leo and sayf but didn't make international events... that's impressively bad

It was harder to see who the options were as there wasn't a solid tier 2 system so ranking talent was harder and you would instead need good scouting like mini.

Generally you get worse teams the further you down a league(that's how numbers work) so even if you have 4 teams to 2, the lowers seeds won't be as good in theory. A better way to compare things is the following:
Fnatic and Eg both get through
Liquid and NRG both get grouped.
All lcq teams got grouped.
None of the other NA teams could beat Kru(who got grouped).
Na and EU doing about the same

Uhhhh, right either you include fut in EU if so 2/5, or you don't 1/4. Some real NA education stuff here

Can we stop with calling some regions minor regions, it is extremely cringe when 2 teams from each region made it to playoffs. Honestly embarrassing if people still say otherwise.

I can already hear the "no trophy kkkkkkkk". I'm sure the trophies of the nrg core and navi really helped them get through playoffs huh

It would be expected that a lower proportion of EMEA teams make it because the 5th seed isn't necessarily as good as 4th seeds from other regions. That said fnatic is carrying EMEA

I don't see SEN at champs

What does spacegoating mean? You mean scapegoating?

?????

There are no male or female vlr users, there are only amorphous valorant blobs

You really live rent free in people's heads

Pro's won't play deadlock often, if you think of playing her you may as well play sage. The only reason I can see pro's playing her is for zain factor

Based SEN enjoyer, same but reverse, I want zekken to succeed

Is having 4 stars to do with frequency of posting or number, if frequency I might slow down

They're actually so annoyed Breeze isn't in the map pool

Pacific
PRX- no
DRX- Maybe depending on playoffs performance
Everyone one else could potentially be a yes, t1 and zeta might not cause at least they made it to champs.

Nope, become a femboy

This year there has been a higher variance in tier1 team quality, the bad teams are worse cause of only just being new teams but the good teams are even better cause of game innovations like harbour viper and light shields from loud and fnatic

It's hard to think of a good koi team as you need to have 1 Spanish player as it's a Spanish org but if I am free,
+BaddyG -Koldamenta
-Barbar +someone else
Maybe +keiko or + alive -wolfen depending on who's free

Language issues detected?

NA goblins need to realise the difference between EU and EMEA is like the difference between NA and americas but lighter

Nah he was annoyed that he hadn't been able to transfer and had a year left on his contract. Tottenham would have lost out on millions if they let the contract run out.

You had a day to change it, I changed from Kane to haaland when I heard and got a worse midfielder, honestly just a you problem.

Edit: good job too, he scored 2 goals

Nrg lost their last match to Blg, they aren't giving up. They will want to win

Zekken is fantastic raze and jett player, if tenz decides to leave they would be silly not to put him on duelist. Also sidenote what on God's green earth is yay playing, SEN already has role problems with it probably being a good idea to put zekken on duelist, then you add in yay.Then you might think ooooh put yay on sentinel it fits his playstyle but your other -1000000iq pickup is the best sentinel in the world with a probably insane buyout.

This entire squad idea makes no sense. Sen should pickup an igl, PRX no igl makes sense given how long the players have played together and how well they know each other. SEN however can't seem to play 3 games together before changing something.

Allat+rant over

Initiators are apparently overated as well as igls lol

What on earth do vlr rankings even represent

Go on tinder

Wardell is a bit of a weird one, this guy didn't even play in tier 2 this year and the year before didn't do well either, pick another try again

Well navi have been pretty off form this year, koi underperformed given some of their players as well(by tonnes),kc won't have scream idling and a coach on their team so they will improve. EMEA is having a year where they figure out is good and who is good on paper.

This is not to say that americas won't improve as well, with more of the squads having more time together, more of the teams will improve

He's 18 since June 10 (source: liquipedia)

Koi won't get rid of koldamenta as he's the only spanish player

Lol apac just consolidates having all the best controller players by bringing in s0m as well

I mean, EDG are a good team and blg has beaten them before, so BLG is would be maybe be mid table of most leagues. Stop with calling the Chinese teams bad, you're being like the EG players lol

Make sure to do good exercise as smoking can make you short of breath

Neither of these games are upset games lol

I'm not in love,
Now don't forget it.
It's just a silly phase, I'm gooooooing through,
I'm not in love,
no nooooooo.
It's becaaaauuuse

This guy said from what you've seen, kru haven't played yet so you must be blind

DRX vs LOUD had no favourite given both have been having internal issues, FUT vs T1 most definitely had no favourite. The only upset is Liquid vs Navi given navi's lcq performance

The honest take is who knows, both 3rd place teams from two regions respectively, I've predicted fut though

Guess I'm not that kind of guy, my camera has been half broken for a year and I haven't caref

Imagine paying for an overpriced apple product

Why has no-one said DFM as the biggest failure, they didn't win a single game, that's bad

Zeta or t1 can't be called failures given they made champs, that's some modicum of success

They do not need another duelist, they have tenz and zekken, even if tenz leaves if they added aspas they would still have role problems

Tenz! Batchest Batchest Batchest

Tier 1 team vs tier 3 team, who wins, obviously navi wins just based on players alone
Wait hang on, faze doesn't even have a roster at the moment, navi play a 5 v 0 lol

Boostio does indeed exist. Even if in this imaginary world it is a good idea for them to go full prx and not properly have an igl, they will definitely change things because they had their chances and it didn't work. The boss is an irrational human being who fired their coach halfway through the season after they looked better, you think he's not gonna change a squad that can't attack?
