BR had to send them to lower bracket though. Give them some credit

lol Zeta single-handedly sent both last year EU Iceland teams home

EU without CIS players be like...

Valorant smoke criminal 💨

yikes Optic needs to grind aimlab more. The number of times they lost a rifle vs pistol duel is crazy

head hunter was used a lot too

complexity?

Twistzz made the right choice moving to EU. There's currently like 2 NA teams that looks competent enough for major contender

I hope vlr server can handle the amount of bait threads during the match

Really closed game. Loud won with 3 players on negative KD and less total kills than Liquid

Nearest Airport got pretty good potential even without coach. Sucks that there aren't a lot of NA orgs left to sign, maybe 100T or Faze can pick them up for academy roster

Feels bad for JP, first time getting to playoffs they got matched with EU 1st seed

nt

All good, it's double elimination

derke can still play in isolated room afaik but they decided not to

So bad that they won against Gambit and Acend. It's just Fnatic management thought it's a good idea to replace derke with a sub few days before the event

On the bright side, Fnatic made it further than Sentinels this time

It's over. Everytime marved get an ace, the team lost the match

Let's be honest, zest >>>> lakia

Speaking from experience, NYC subway is always a combination between a death trap and an asylum. I recommend walking.

Probably not, there aren't many tier-1 or LAN events in Valorant per year right now, which in turns make the scene more competitive with less money + popularity gained. Tier 2 CS teams like Complexity are still making more money than most top 10 Valorant teams like C9, XSET, etc so far this year

Lower cost, Less competition -> more chance to get to LAN -> more money. Actually 5head business strats

BREAKING NEWS: due to bezn1 is abusing cypher cam bug, Rito will award Fnatic a 2-map lead. gg Fnatic

I got ESL pro league flashback from this

-rain +jks

Not surprising, Tencent is a pretty large shareholder of Riot and mobile gaming is pretty big in China

Nobody expect a HS student to have a "real" job afaik. Extra curricular activities that related to the job you're applying might help. If you have someone credible (teacher, supervisor, .etc) to vouch for your skill or write a referral will improve your chance a lot

Are they scriming with anyone? Haven't heard from them for a while

Acend 1 major, OXG 0 major

Acend 13-9 Xeria in scrims if I remember. It's strange how there's no info on Gambit scrims yet, they're still one of the best team in EMEA despite their recent run

CSGO LANers keeps getting kicked from 100T, not sure if this is a good idea in the long run

It's over. Fnatic getting stand-in player buff

Not a bad pick, his KD is usually positive in Alliance so probably better than braveaf impact-wise

If they have funding, they should try boot camping in EU or NA. Their region is too small to be competitive

Nah streaming nerf their performance

both team played really well imo, the kill stats are distributed among the players so there's no more "<jett main> go kill" and more on team coordination. Shoutout to marved for playing 5 different agents in 5 maps 🥶

china or india maybe?

FPX is pretty flexible, most of them can play different roles in different maps so it's much harder for other teams to prep. Excited to see how they perform in Iceland

i'm already xerxia

Sadge that C9 lose, but happy for the guard, it really shows how much boot camp and hard work can help you succeed.

better seed secured 👍

kinda feel bad for Xset, always so close but never make it to LAN

yay 🥶 🥶 🥶

top 3 NA igl for sure

What a comeback! xeppa needs to stop double satchel and feeding V1 tho

Looks like all the past LAN winners are out of this masters. This event is cursed af

lol no, it's just 1 bad game. dude perform well on Jett and Raze as an entry. it's just that Sheydos is too OP and keeps stealing stats from him

huge L for Rise but glad that my boy Derrek get tier 1 pay :(

Respect to gambit, they never shit-talk other teams and always humble when winning. Hope they can get a spot in Iceland
