Not really? I don't think anyone will argue against 2022 LOUD being stronger than Gambit, or EG 2023 being stronger than FPX 2022. This year's quality of gameplay for the top 4 is just objectively worse and honestly I don't know why.

Do we even know that for sure though? Every 1st seed in the tournament besides CN's were given 2nd chances though the playins after tanking a loss, whereas team's that went flawless in their group stage ended up being knocked out by them after also tanking a single loss. See what I'm getting at?

Nah now you're just being weird lmfao, guess it yourself, you have three months to work with

They can believe and feel whatever they want dude, I'm just being objective :/ It's not really their fault that Riot made some pretty bad formats, but because of that, we really aren't sure if the best teams right now are actually the best teams :/

2004? is this my first Q&A here?

The fact that there's only two spots for 8 teams is literally part of the reason why its a bit fraudulent, also a single loss in playoffs of Kick Off is single elim, that's pretty dumb :(

I'm 20, what's up? :)

Is that a hate comment? Did it seem like I was hating on SEN? I'm sorry then :(

Love it when people think I care about EMEA, makes me promote my petition more https://www.vlr.gg/316984/change-org-petition-to-relegate-emea-from-tier-1

Great reply though!

Unfortunately for you, this is in no way a hate post :(

True they deserve the win, I just wished the quality of VCT stayed the same since Champions, it has been going uphill since 2020 until now and honestly that's a bit concerning. Maybe it's because of the terrible formats so far or something.

Honestly I didn't consider that not gonna lie, maybe they really haven't peaked but it's hard to tell when they keep winning haha.

No I'm actually rewatching some vods, specifically some of LOUD v FNC. Also aren't you that tiktok yay hater? Can you give Less a shoutout in your next vid I think he deserves it.

LOCK//IN no debate

I like expressing my thoughts and ideas entirely

I don't like agreeing with EMEA flairs but yeah you're kinda right, LOUD v SEN was the shitshow today that convinced me entirely.

honestly rewatching some vods from last year's top 4 rn and yeah I just can't see SEN beating these teams with the mistakes they regularly make (yet they still win with them). We're so lucky lets go.

Been seeing this narrative being thrown around a lot and honestly it makes sense.

EG disbanded, PRX lost their best and most impactful player and adopted an objectively worse playstyle before because of it, LOUD lost their best and most impactful player and adopted an objectively worse playstyle than before because of it, DRX disbanded, the Kick Off format allowed teams like FNC and NRG to be gone after a single loss, the entirety of EMEA got exposed for not bringing FNC, etc etc.

Sentinels managed to peak in an 8 team Masters tournament on top of that, less teams = less chances of losing, which means they don't have to spend time prepping to face 3rd seeds (as an example, EG was Americas 3rd seed for Masters Tokyo yet still made the final). The fact that LOUD without aspas and PRX without Jinggg made it this far with objectively worse players is honestly just proof in that this might be one of, if not the weakest internationals in which SEN successfully managed to peak for, especially compared to what we've seen just last year (the quality of gameplay at the top took a big hit honestly).

Proud of them securing a trophy though at least, even if it's a bit fraudulent. Hope they can keep this form up for Shanghai 💪💪💪

The team is just worse but they still made it this far, 2023 -> 2024 was a major hit in the overall quality of Valorant at the highest lvl, I think that's just inarguable really.

We'll see what happens tomorrow, no biggie

Don't you have more muslims to educate on their own culture? Most embarrassing 11 year old.

Gods is crazy lol, GENG will for sure leave it open

and that this year won't be Americas domination. If GENG gets clapped even though SEN and LOUD were both refusing to win their series today then I think it's over.

I get that you only have eyes for SEN, but LOUD completely threw Sunset, like tossed it.

LOUD's water got drugged and FNC got exposed in the following tourney. Same reason why Champion 2021 was a fluke.

As objective as possible here

Masters Reykjavik 2021 = Legit
Masters Berlin 2021 = Legit
Champions Berlin 2021 = Mickey mouse (Acend fluke)
Masters Reykjavik 2022 = Mickey mouse (FPX banned)
Masters Copenhagen 2022 = Legit
Champions Istanbul 2022 = Legit
LOCK//IN Sao Paulo 2023 = Mickey mouse (awful format with a very low prize pool)
Masters Tokyo 2023 = Mickey mouse (FNATIC fluke)
Champions LA 2023 = Legit
Masters Madrid 2024 = Mickey mouse (unreasonably bad kick off format, 8 teams is also dumb)
Masters Shanghai 2024 = Legit
Champions Seoul 2024 = Legit (?)

I don't think you can compare your own experience of fasting with muslims who've been doing it for years (which I'm going to assume they get progressively more and more used to it), and I also recall you talking about how you have some medical condition that recommends you eat frequently. Let's be real here Subreezy.

also he's still the best, don't think anything's changed yet

The man had like a 1.21 rating in Kick Off, then choked vs SEN in the final

also had a 1.38 rating in Masters, then choked vs SEN today

And it's not even like SEN are strating against him, he's just been individually whiffing a lot more than usual. It just speaks for itself really. He also went 0 +/- in their first match to SEN, I don't think he's trying to hide it 🗿

his paypal must be insane 🗿

I thought you were talking about map 3 and idk feels like both sides refused to win really. SEN weren't hitting shots and LOUD were throwing when it mattered, not the high quality finale I was expecting even though they were really going blow for both sometimes.

Is it a girl or something

lmfao

Nah in all honesty, SEN were heavily lacking in firepower and LOUD should've closed it out considering they were winning a lot of their duels but threw actually important rounds due to questionable calls and reads. They started 3-0, won half time pistol, and at some point it was 11-7 for LOUD so I don't understand how you think SEN should've been the ones to close it out. LOUD had the firepower advantage, SEN and JohnQT did not, and yet they still won. There's no way you can say that was SEN's map to win.

You will never catch me repping EMEA until I die and this guy sounds like he's a massive EU meat rider, idk what to tell you. I genuinely want that petition to hit 100 btw so sign it if you didn't already.

I'm gonna vomit if you think I'm him pleaaaase stop 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢

Sounds like a VCT EMEA supporter, don't really like that :(

Yeah even though I'm speaking for the muslims on this site who are actively calling out the same people on the same matter for the same reason, definitely bait. Nothing of what I said is of my own word.

Read the post? This isn't just my word btw.

making an appreciation thread for a muslim fasting is textbook prejudice, read what the comments are saying from the SEN gang too

You've been arguing with actual muslims on this site about how Ramadan works and FEELS for the sake of "SEN City", you are actually the posterchild for the fanbase LOOOL

me calling out on blatant offensive garbage makes me 45 yrs old facebook user lmfao

Imagine being muslim and having to read replies from the 11 year old ogre AceGamer30 trying to educate you about your own practice. Holy shit.

13 yr old tiktok reply

I am but I don't associate with you clowns for shit like this and you'd have to be insane to think otherwise. I'm strictly a fan of the team and the team only, don't group me with whatever you guys are doing.

You're getting downvoted for a take like this which is just genuinely sad. Really shows you the kind of effect goes on when SEN starts looking successful.

Shoutout to all the butthurt SEN flairs that think otherwise, you guys unfortunately look like clowns 🤷

Bros defending someone with 5000?

I'm calling out the people that believe it's necessary to make an appreciation post for JohnQT's fast, you cannot convince me that isn't offensive.

I've seen your 1-16 in Gold ass try to argue with people about how Ramadan works, go outside.
