lol look up "nepotism". And you are smoking top end crack if you think NA organisations are content with "we took a map off envy" in a qualifier run. xD xD xD you're off your fuckin rocker dude. that is NOT an achievement. Envy werent even the best team in NA back then.

Lmfao. chet is a clown saying that and his team can't get out of quals

VK, CR, FS, VS

W contingency. better than NA LCQ at least from the sounds of things.

Expecting a 3-0. Really hyped to see prx next year against stronger regions.

Looking forward to it

Yeah man, it becomes a case of "which parts work best together". Because as you say, individually, the top free agents and players in limbo are not an obvious step above the current fnc players.

I pretty much agree with you. The only changes I could see making sense are if they blew up the whole squad and made something new with the scraps of guild giants g2 heretics and whichever players from top teams are in limbo.

I don't see a case where they just remove one player for a like for like replacement.

Loool, he knew exactly what he was doing XD.

"Hope I'm not dropping any bombs here"

L thread.

Haha 😂

This is the most arbitrary shit I've ever seen. XD. Riot got y'all acting like crack fiends during a draught.

Nope.

Cus this is mostly a clown forum

On this rare occasion haha <3

Phoenix / yoru

Examples of negative tweets n statements?

Not disputing, just curious cus I haven't seen any

Rest assured.

The only people will actually hate and abuse a team because they lose or don't play well are idiots whose opinions do not matter.

Awesome

All hail JohnOlsen

I'm waiting for a ridiculous Danish superteam to come out of nowhere and start wrecking everybody

i mean i knew the community was soft as shit, but if it's about their banter all i can do is lol

there's nothing factual about a bunch of opinions that agree with each other. Just because it's consensus doesn't mean it's fact.

Spare yourself the emotional rollercoaster and be a neutral

why so much SEN hate, what did I miss?

prophetic

There isn't a single NA vs EMEA matchup that is easy to call in champs. I'd give them allm 50/50 at best

It is the most competitive group, but not a group of death by any means.

That's fine. As long as there's some kind of double elim for groups.

Yeah bro, it doesn't mean much at all. That's how Valorant works. It's full of triangle matchups. Every singgle tournament without fail. So you can't take much away from individual results.

A > B
C < B
C > A

Happens all the time.

True, but people really need to get over 13-0s in Valorant.

The game is massively momentum based, more so than CSGO, especially as it's MR12.

Teams of a higher caliber than these 2 are getting 13-0d guys, it's not allllll that insane.

G2 vs Gambit
Gambit vs Acend
Rise vs C9.

This. Shit. Happens.

The players that will do well and win shit move on from these results.

over, boomed, exploded, done with.

I'm exaggerating of course though.

Why are people acting this match was expected to be competitive? Ping or not, PRX are a different tier to South Asian teams. It's not that deep.

They put up solid performance Vs VS and SMB on LAN, they're hardly going to struggle with these guys. Face le facts.

Hahahaha xD

Cheetohs n coke lmao xD

That region is kaput now? Interested to see how KR looks in 2022. If the scene survives that is.

Thanks for explaining. I always wondered what that shit was

Ya it's just a poorly written section. Double elim tournament means many things, so it might as well say nothing at all.

bruh we literally just had Redbull Home grounds and LVP Rising 2

Except no one asked you.

alot of teams (Brazilian included) have already flown over to Europe so that they can bootcamp and prepare for Champions in Berlin.

I think you're confusing fans wanting them to win vs people actually saying they're favourites. I don't see any clear favorite in Champs atm because Valorant is too swingy and unpredictable.

Yes Liquid are in great form, but I don't think anyone reasonable is saying they are the FAVOURITES to win.

I'm too old to understand what this ratio shit is. All I know is that this was funny as fuck xD

Just tryna spread the good word brother

Teams that deserve you'd like to see but they still fell short.

100%

Nice

The art of managing your expectations. Master this and supporting them will be easy

Yeah it's a rhetorical question really. I'm just really impressed with what they put together for "tier 2" tournament.

More of this is what the game needs.

I mostly agree. Valorant has all the makings of what would be the dominant future game. global appeal, unique agents, no "terrorists" Vs "CTs", strong development in female scene etc. But we just have to see how it pans out.

When csgo first came out its fsnbase divided between a CS:Source and even a fair amount of CS 1.6. it's also a different time, content and streaming carries Valorant heavily, but these things didn't really exist much back in 2012.
