would you give your own soul instead? i want to keep mine. also good luck finding enough souls because im certain that some people on this site are missing one.

dont be shocked when it happens. but of course the delulu sentinels fans are ride or die, so they will downvote me for saying the truth.

i would say the only teams that people might have rated higher than FNC coming into champions were GENG, G2 and LEV. thats it. so yeah saying fnatic were top 5 sounds about right.

i summon the keeping receipts person. the vlr.gg community will NOT let this bet disappear.

the only thing they will win is an early ticket back to LA, courtesy of FPX :)

well they better have that conversation with me. so TH loses to the team that loses to 3rd seed china (VIT)? so the TH win must have been a fluke, right?? because clearly DRX>FNC, and GENG>DRX??

What happens when DRX beats fnatic though?

yeah, they win too many eco rounds with really sharp and clean sheriff shots that should be impossible to hit, but they do because they all are very good with the sheriff. too boring for me

yes. no other right answer.
edit: we are all so stupid omfg. this is the wrong answer for the question that was asked

the only difference is that its the fans that are toxic/the crazy ex instead of the other side being toxic and crazy

final destination if you want to make your flight... exciting.

NO NO NO NO NO HOW DARE YOU TRY TO SEPARATE TREXX MY POOKIE FROM SAYF!!!!!!! absolutely not. take cloud instead but trexx is staying with sayf.

Ik this wasn't the question but the fnatic vs drx game at champions last year was heartbreaking. 13-1 only to get run over on the last two maps. That game shattered any expectations I ever had for drx since then

Viewers != quality of watch party. Only casual players watch him and he never actually follows the matches closely, he only sees the events as a chance to make more content. He is Not fun to watch at all if you actually care about what goes on in the matches.

Fns has to be 10/10 for me because not only does he actually watch the games, he also has proper analysis and says what the team that lost did wrong, and he actually calls it out when a team plays really well to win a round.

Half of DRXs groups are high up on one end and the other half are super low.

And somehow guild made it out of that group. This I'd why sayf leo trexx was the best core in valorsnt history. I've said this so many times that it has become annoying, but they were so good here

its irrational, i didnt choose this hatred, it just came to me.

NOTHING. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. ITS AN IRRATIONAL HATRED FOR A REASON.
but if i have to unpick my thought process, it might be from the days when he was on faze. i hated that team a lot and i associate him with the team.

i get it but i have also been watching them this year and it feels like their demons are still chasing them. i really want to see them do well but i dont have any copium. just being realistic.

I watched this match along with every other DRX match since the start of 2021 and I am well aware of what they can and can't do. This team is new but I fear that they may fall victim to the same issues the old roster did.

Something and mindfreak for absolutely no reason at all. From emea, maybe redgar and ata kaptan and ange1 and suygetsu. From americas it's probably supamen crashies and kaplan (technically a coach not a player but still counts in my mind)

I get it, flashback is the best thing to happen to DRX since mako showed up, but they are all very young and new, and this could cause them to crash hard even in front of their own people on their own stage, and they have not played against teams from other regions. Also that haven map has shaken me up a bit.

I am loving the DRX overrating but can we stop please? The team could crash against fnatic :(

Fr, L rito because twisten with sayf trexx leo would have been unstoppable. This team would have had a higher peak than even 2023 fnatic had.

🥲 I just hope that an org with half a brain poaches sayf and trexx next year. Neither TL, KOI or vitality deserve these gems of pro players. All I want is to see them succeed in emea, but at this point its just stupid how teams managed to fumble building a roster when they had these two, especially vitality. I'm so disappointed. Sayf and trexx have been boosting the team since day one and they literally only win when both of them are playing at 100%.

I do this all the time but I am compelled to once again mention that the greatest trio ever created in valorant history was sadly torn apart by franchising. Sayf, leo and trexx were hands down the greatest 3 player core to ever be made. I challenge anyone to find me a better trio than these three. EMEA lost a perfect chance to create a superteam when these three were split up and this is why I have been hyping up team vitality all year, because sayf and trexx are phenomenal. Sad that frauds kicks and runner have ruined it, and I get that we need to give rookies a chance, but I can't excuse how they have wasted yet another season for my goats sayf and trexx. I really really really hope leo leaves fnatic and reunites with sayf and trexx to create the best team in emea. It really doesn't matter who the other 2 are as long as they can shoot back more than half the time.

Ok thanks for letting us know that you underestimate trexx

Personally I think tenz is the best player on the roster of sentinels but I have followed zekken as a player since before he was on xset and I agree it's really sad to see a player like him getting attacked by fans and haters. He's extremely talented but when every team you play against are just as good as you, it becomes hard to shine like he used to and so people don't see how good he really is. And if this team ever does undergo roster changes, zekken is definitely not the first person that I would think of switching on the team, if sentinels even needs roster changes.

1leaf has been amazing since his c9 days. im so glad to see him doing well.

WOOP WOOP TREXX STOCKS RISING!!!!

no, i had FNC and EDG winning on my pickems too. idk why i didnt go for it. i was not thinking.

ahhh i lost so much why did i bet on FUT and BLG:(

Tex doesn't need to be replaced imo. I don't get why this lev team doesn't basically win everything because their roster is pretty stacked on paper.

I would take karon mako or leo. Karon best fragging controller, mako and Leo are fantastic at setting up their teammates and can be the cornerstone of any team's plays.

Just putting this here in case I haven't commented here yet.

Normal stretch probably helped you to get out of silver to bronze though right? How is it down there in bronze?

Fr I'm so glad people are finally waking up. France sucks, the people the culture the history 🤮

not just kicks, but runner needs to go too. cender can stay maybe because he is the igl but vitality should just sign different rookies from tier 2 that arent mid.

fr actually ban all europeans, especially british flags with fnatic flairs.

wait do people actually feel this hurt about ruined pickems? you can still get top 1% pickems even if you get some wrong. ive done it before in the regular season before.

why vitality? why not giantx who have made two horrible rosters in both years of franchising??

i am looking forward to FNC vs DRX to see if the chokers of pacific can prove that EMEA is a 0 team region.

yeah runner and kicks performed just as expected. when either of them go positive (especially kicks), its an overperformance for them. i gave klcks so many chances in EMEA stage 1 and 2 to prove that hes good, but hes just another rookie who couldnt fill the shoes of the role he plays. sayf did underperform, which just goes to show that this team only wins when trexx and sayf pop off. even if the other three go crazy, if one of sayf and trexx doesnt play well, then its over for VIT. once again my goat trexx got stuck with bums on his team who cant even carry their own weight.

flair. flair wouldnt even get more than 5 rounds, let alone a map off any team at this tournament.

this team is sayf trexx and friends. literally the other 3 players never actually pop off when it matters. trexx and sayf my goats please find new team or drop these bums and bring leo over, then you can rule over EMEA.

he doesnt count.

ok lets not put former teammates against each other. both are great. leo imo is way better at using intiator util but trexx is a lot more flexible.

wait benjy said that apac ranked is harder??

China is easier than pacific.
