What you said it is true, but it has nothing to do with my point. Not a guarantee that they would have performed much better, because it's still a new team. On paper, I'd like to believe they would, but zerooo proof.

Let's not forget old liquid beat M3C in LCQ VERY convincingly. Don't know why people are acting like nAts and Redgar are cheatcodes.

Barely. That affected liquid.

It didn't affect:
Heretics
Vitality
BBL
FUT

All franchised teams and didn't look great

Would we have even made it out of groups if APAC teams were invited 💀

Fnatic = chokers
Navi = still good
Bbl = mid
Fut = tier 2
Koi = unproven
KC = unproven

So what you're basically saying is the truth is, our region fell off a fucking cliff haha

Panderant is a tactical fps game where the.... I can't even be arsed lol

Agent sexualities. Who fucking asked

RITO L

Pretty funny. But be prepared for a whole load of
"Liquid would win if we had nats n redgar" cope

Nevermind the fact that heretics and vitality are looking midaf.

We got some work to do boys

In the mud

Bro, first time liquid lost to KRU.....

Standins, I get it.... But liquid losing to KRU?

Keznitless and mazinoless KRU?

Damn

Stop coping, you're making our region look desperate lol.

Nats and regards didnt play a single lan in 2022, and you think they're just guaranteed to be gods. Chill

Pretty much on point take.

There's literally no proof that liquid would have won more games if they had the full roster. Of course the full roster is better, and Enzo and meddo are certified MID.

But that doesn't mean liquid would have been better.

EMEA is coping at the moment because we looked shit this event.

No conclusions can be made about liquid as NO ONE HAS SEEN THST ROSTER PLAY. HURTS BUT IT'S TRUE

damn EMEA, we sucked this event

This is the xeppa c9 needed last year

yaboylewis is getting snacked on today

oooofhhhh

did jampii just get the highest "VLR rating" fromi any LAN game lol

Team midquid.

Half the roster not there, shame.

babysasuke has a lifelong head injury and his parents just letting him loose on the internet lol.

That's fucking abusive xD

not suprising, barely any skill gap in this game.

you and the guy above might be right.

From the announcement video, I took the franchise locations as hubs for where the LANS willbe held. BUT that might just be the local / regional matches. We'll see I guess

Franchising locations are (if I'm not mistaken)

Berlin
Seoul
Los Angeles

There won't be vct LANs anywhere else this year
Apart from lock//in sao Paulo. Nothing planned for UK as far as vct goes

this is copium. Redgar himself and Chronicle are on camera in several interviews with yinsu talking about that rough patch and it had pretty much nothing to do with their org situation. they got leapfrogged by their opponents, nothing more.

mid jett but was the highest rated player (playing jett) at his first LAN and carried his team to the grand final. aiiiiiight bro

soulcas is a great player. But dead this garbage ass narrative about "oNcE hE gEtS a PrOpEr iGL or team".

Yes redgar is good, but he's not some special IGL. Redgar in M3C lost to liquid last season when it mattered the most, and didn't qualify for a single tournament with the same core.

Yes the "old" liquid was dysfunctional, but it's not like soulcas was the shining star of the team.

stop the cope. his consistency or lack of is mostly down to him and his ability.

Got 'im

This is beautiful

XD, that's how they be sounding

C9 that lost to liquid 2-0, with liquid running Reyna.

Aiiiiight

A player with 0 LAN wins

Kayo is non bi. Unless you're implying that robots have gender??? And that would be an assumption, and assumptions are NOT OKAY!!!!

Not sure why you got downvoted

Dude has played

Astra chamber jett omen kill joy sova skye all at a high level....

cNed unlocked

No actually, his take is correct. This shit is 80% business, 20% meritocracy. The sooner you accept that, the better

USA celebrates a draw.

rhyme beast mode

site is slow. Navi won 13-9 already

Some of what you say is true, but to be fair, alot of people root for Japanese teams because the players and the fans are the least problematic out of all regions. That's all there is to it.

At least half of NA, EMEA, APAC fans are cunts (maybe 75% for NA 8-) ). The players talk alot of shit too. But you don't really see that from Japanese players / fans. So of course people like and want them to do well.

Ez clap

Nice

Happy for G2. Good showing for GC, hopefully other GC teams will up their work rate and next tourney is more competitive.

THE GOZEN

CSGO events are already way more professional than valorant in a number of ways. CS is lightyears ahead, AND it's a more mature, more mature demographic. A little profanity is nothing in cs.

Don't be mad at Riot for trying to level up the aesthetic and professionalism. Got enough Mickey mouse elements at play as it is, this shit is a business

Domestic warlords lmao. I like the term

Rulesssss

Huhhhh

Tier 1 OCE player diff

warming up the new roster. Offseason in EMEA is pretty DEAD right now
