Keiko: Bloody Hell, I don't drop 30 every map and you guys lose. actual bums, how did you even win champs?

Ethan: I told you guys to help me brainstorm excuses for a round rollback. It was phoenix ult bug and spike bug before. We need new ideas but then skuba decided to go play flappy bird all night and bonkar went to get some chicken nuggets.

Mitch: Shut up ethan, I told you to listen to my gf strat book but u decided to try to pretend to be a good igl instead and do midrounding.

Ethan: Hey, Hey, this is the 2 time world champions you are talking to here buddy. Have you ever won champs mitch? oh wait, you never even qualified for a single intl as a player. Never disrespect me again

brawk: tbh guys, the problem is that....

skuba cuts brawk off

Skuba: It's ok brawk, i got it from here. Listen here buddy, you probably thought that you managed to go under the radar and that no one will talk about you Adam but we all saw and remmember that pearl performance. Let me pull up the vlr stats real quick. On pearl, My duelist went 9/19 and had an ADR of 71. How the FUCK do you only have 71 ADR per round. You do less dmg than brawk's sova shockdart per round.

Mada: I was doing selfless entrying and getting baited by you guys. It is not my fault.

Bonkar: Yo guys I'm back from eating chicken nuggets. But Adam, you bum, you were not selfless entrying. All you did was entry into a position no one could trade you and die alone on site. You were a walking ult orb for half of the rounds. I know you think you are untouchable because you won champs, but if i see another stinker like today, I'm shipping you to a horrible team like envy.

Brawk: you guys are abit mean. Adam here, take this.

Mada: what is this brawk?

Brawk: this is performance enhancing drugs. I thought you might need it since you look like you were asleep on pearl. Hopefully this can help wake you up. Don't worry Mada, don't listen to the others, I believe in you.

Mada: Thanks ig... brawk.

After that, Mada couldn't sleep that whole night, skuba proceeded to play flappy bird all night, and bonkar stayed up all night eating chicken nuggets.

this made me laugh a little too hard lol.

Tbh, I like looking at the logos of this event alot
the last few have had bad logo looking optics from a guy like me

calling someone "valorant" merchants is funny

LETSGO!!!!!

I mean, they still had to waste a year in teir 2 with the chance of not making it. Let's not devalue the risk they took because they believed in themselves and the team.

literally makes zero sense, the only real thing is it could be mada crouching, but kills had already happened.

no one will ever be in the goat conversation after 1 year, like do you know what greatest of all time means? yeah, if he ends up being the best player this year, we would call him the best player, but to be a goat you need consistency, which you can't get without at least 3 years under your belt.

I think it's more people being down on MIBR, and to a much much lesser degree lev
also it's typically worth it to be high on G2, at the last 6 tournaments in a row, they have been top 8, and top 4 at four of those

I liked Santiago because of the new teams, but if I had a preference. I think I prefer more established teams. that's not to say I don't like new teams making it, but it's more interesting to see a new character propped up against a familiar cast. Obviously that won't always happen as the VCT isn't scripted (that we know of).

good change

In America, Burgers are exclusively hamburgers. Buns don't really play a factor in what we call anything, we would still call a beef patty between normal sliced bread a burger.

Bro.... people were talking about what would happen if each team won.
NRG would be the first "dynasty" since FNC in 2023
PRX would be neck and neck with FNC for all time
G2 would be nice to see win/ first ascension team to win
NS has a cool premier story +RB and as with G2 would be the first ascension team to win

you're not calling out G2 fan's narrative, cause it makes no sense to say out of the context of what would happen if they win.

Trash talk is only allowed for the teams I like.

It's hard to tell overall power rankings, but G2 does always dogwalk NRG they have won the last 10 maps against NRG in a row.

yeah, the nuggets are smaller but are way better.
I think the sandwich is better value (and better)

I was trying to replace babybay with trent so I was swapping my players around, and I ended up accidentally keeping wayne on my roster. I'm cooked

??????
You can't go down if you were never off the ground...

this is swiss not a bracket, there are no "upper bracket" advantages in a swiss format. if you truly wanted something "fair" round robin is the only truly "fair" format.

nah, because it would all be in your head.

I think they have been cheering almost more for PRX, but it's been hard to tell cause it's pretty equal.

this is so gas

While I rate him (and all the PRX players) highly, it's hard to truly evaluate them because they haven't had to prove themselves on their own.

yes! :)

One Piece (the manga, and the anime is not even above a 5/10).
animal well is also goated.

He hadn't watched any matches from china when he said that, but said he would continue to watch now that he has time.

random

Nah g2 and prx will face off 3 times, the start the middle the end... CINEMA (for a guy like me)

i hate to see the prx g2 matchup, my two favs destined to clash right away.

FUCK ME.
G2 and PRX my two loves.

(jinx?)

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA 😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹 BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA 😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹

tbh probably shrike.

it's overhyped, but still amazing.

Imagine telling someone in 2024 that these two were going to be in the upper finals of kickoff together.

Valyn

probably, they needed a senti last year, and babybay is currently playing senti. Not even to mention the fact that g2 is buying into chamber.

that sucks, maybe start a B*siness.

****

Idk, get a J*b?

?

I agree with the ones I agree with, but disagree with others.

Varrel is so bad though, like they couldn't even win ascension.
Literally bought their way into the league.

I was all aboard, until they fought G2, but I will root for them against a lot of other teams.

Amer: G2, and i liked nrg, but they won so i root for their downfall (except my goat brawk)
Emea: Fnc and TL
Pacific: Prx
China: wolves, drg.

I mostly root for underdogs though.

aspas' movement is so good, that I wouldn't want to get him off of that role, besides I think tex could play chamber well enough, that swapping the roles up that much wouldn't even be worth it.

idk man, it's not like we've never seen other astras. I think people just understand that if a player saves as much as johnqt did, he was definitely playing his life a little too much.
