Agreed. Hopefully this thread won't be inundated with pre pubescent zealots riding for their game of coice crying about numbers.

This^.

Plus, the qualifying stages are quite comprehensive in a tournament like the majors. So really, final matchups should be quite sparing

haha, you're not wrong.

NA CS basically died a slow death. Couldn't keep up with EMEA. Team Liquid are the NA hope for CS but they went out in group stages of the major

Love this team. Great tournament

Hell, what a series!

Oh man, the Danes haven't properly arrived at the Valorant scene. But when they do, it's over for everyone else.

Wild theory and I love it

Back to heretics, sources. can't reveal

WP both teams. Liquid looking great yet again. I hope they have another gear they can reach into for champions

Why can't you just accept that the game we're all interested in has a tendancy to be random as fuck.

it's online. The event is a bit weird. it was pegged as LAN, but not all teams are there. AFAIK only GIANTS are actually there. and it's only 4 of them, davidp isn't there.

And that's valorant for you my friends.

LOL welcome back

I think you've got me confused with your momma

Defend it^

LOOOL

making weirdo threads about a team you havent seen play in ages. #Rentfree

100%. People are so kneejerk and reactionary it annoys me. They look super good right now, but we've seen countless times that international matchups do not play out as expected, especially vs NA. People need to Chill, there's really no solid favourite for Champions right now in my eyes. And yes that includes Gambit

Liquid, VS, Gambit, and SMB before they fell off

That penguin stat made me spit out my coffee. Bravo xD

one of these days, people will learn to read the format of the tournament.

ScreaM,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

this. I am one of them

It's all good man. Hopefully the game is still attractive enough for third party organisers to host big events during that time you mention next year.

yeah bro you're talking about 2 different things.

+Shooting error while moving
+spray pattern.

He's so fucking clean

No one thinks you're hating on EU, you're invested enough in the event to make a thread about it.
Your first post seems like you're criticising Redbull for stuff outside of their control, rather than just "calling it as you see it". The main thing lacking from this event is on the production side. Only 1 english stream is a bit ehhh

dude relax, it's not Redbulls fault a couple teams folded.

The teams going to champs are still playing fine so far anyway, even without showing too much.

Acend literally used a troll comp with cned on Astra and went 3-0 in their group. I'm not mad about getting to see that.

Go lobby for some third party NA offline events.

beautriful

ya true, on MR12, it's even more impactful.

clown thread. move along

Wow, G2 really was just a honeymoon team

It's quite phenomenal actually. I can't think of too many teams who have fallen off this hard this fast

Looool

You can say that. But you can also day that Valorant is quite a random game and this shit always happens every tournament..

These 2 teams don't even exist anymore. This is a ranked match

Clown spotted

I'm as confused as you are.

Ez

Some teams make it so hard to support them :/

A thorough clapping

Who is talking about Tenstar you clown?

KRU are not at the same tier yet of the top 10ish EMEA and NA teams.

KRU who lost a map 13-2 to envy and another 13-5 to Zeta. They still have massive holes in their gameplay. You can't even compare them to an off form fnatic. It's not a hot take

All the brazil talk is just speculation at this stage dude.

OP: 1 agent 1 player

-> proceeds to assign 2 players to 1 agent.

If in the wildest of realities it was just a 16 team double elim tournamentl; you heard it here first that Riot themselves have already deemed valorant a failed experiment and that this game is dying before CSGO does lol.

At the absolute LEAST the format should be the same as Berlin Masters 3

What is all stars?

Fnatic AND C9 are both way clear of KRU. I can't believe I even have to say this.

C9 and fnatic behind KRU? Not on their worst day.

Get your copy pasta ready
