Faze is really good

Good name, not much else tho

Happy for you ig

Nah laugh threads are boring

Not everyone is good under pressure the first time, that's not unusual. Aspas was one of the minority who WAS really good on LAN from the get go, and I'm a fan of him too. My point is Trent still has a long career ahead of him as opposed to if he was a lot older. That gives him more time to stop being nervous on LAN.

Thank you Mr. Mjtchell. I greatly appreciate it, and I wish you and your family great prosperity in the following years.

Brah you're hating on a 17 year old. I'm sure he'll prove himself on LAN in time.

Yeah before Trent got picked up. We'll just have to see how every team does in closed!

LMFAO sure

3 tbh, I don't think XSET count as t1

If there's 6 teams and you're one of them, you only play 5 other teams. Genius ik.

SECONDED ONLY BRIM IS THICKER

LMFAOOOOO I'D BELIEVE IT

Oh cool thank you! I can't wait to see M3C and FPX play again; two of my favorite teams.

Where are you guys getting the groups?

That's literally my point. The only firmly tier 1 NA teams rn are Optic, C9, TGRD. I expect 100T to join them before the end of the qualifier and Faze has a decent chance of making it too.

Congrats on hypothetically beating T2-3 NA teams ig?

Also out of those that I listed, Marved is the best by such a large margin. I think he proved that in the semis and finals at masters earlier this year.

Meh

Vanity is a fantastic IGL but in terms of fragging (which is what I think of when we say cracked) he's not the best by a long shot, even tho he has his moments.

Yeah I can only think of Skuba, Marved, Valyn, and Zander as contenders in NA rn. That's so few compared to the massive number of duelists (yay, saya, cryo, tenz, ban, babybay, seven, etc).

I think Faze might be able to beat XSET if they have truely insane individual performances from Babybay and Dicey

I give Akrew a 65% chance to win here.

I agree with this. The biggest differnce in Sen between this qual and last (where they looked somewhat better than now) is Shaz's underfragging and abysmal utility. I don't know if he let the hate get to him, but he was genuinely a fantastic player all last year including at champs, and he looked pretty good individually last qualifier as well. This tournament he's been so much worse. I don't think Dapr is underperforming either, he's always putting up consistent performances. Overall I'd say neither of those individual things would matter if they had a game plan, good strats, cool set plays, and good coordination. However, they have none of that. I'd honestly take Akrew 65% of the time in this rematch.

I almost want to make Xset in their own tier, below C9 and Guard, but above the rest.

The difference between their form last stage and now is ridiculous. They had a truely spectacular fall off.

BONECOLD BADDYG AND H1BER SIGN ME TF UP

Because I’m fucked in the head idk what to tell you

You're absolutely right; I recommend never reading the forums part again. My mental health was at an all time high when I went on break and I'm not a player who has to deal with a ridiculous amount of shit.

Bro would you have expected them to beat V1???

BBG has A roster

Because I avoid the brain rot and don't read other people's messages. This is MY echo chamber buddy.

If girl kissers qualify and an org doesn't pick them up...

HOW DID V1 LOSE THO

Ok good points but at the same time DERKE NOT GOOD AT RAZE??? WHAT are you smoking. On split he literally got the first blood in almost every damn round for Fnatic.

I cannot believe it. Respect trembo, you might have horrible takes but you're good at the game

LMFAOOO sure mate

V1 is the only team I'm confident in

That was a fantastic match. Honestly GMB had so many good matches last year (grand finals vs ascend was amazing too). I'm really excited to see them play again.

This is a good thread I like this one

I think M3C vs Fnatic is one of my favorite games ever. It was just so tense and the gameplay felt so good.

Girl Kissers

Ghost

TSM are absolutely not qualifying lmao. I do think they could beat XSET but none of the other top 4. Excited to see the matches tho.

Dre is kinda cap but I like the rest a lot.

9/10 times? Absolutely not. Loud is fantastic but they literally got 3-0'd WHILE being able to ban Optic's 2 best maps. They're even as teams at best.

LMFAOOO have you watched any valorant since fucking May 2021???

Because he's specifically the one not accepting coaches.

People have been saying this since champs. The issue is the ego of the players, especially Shazam at this point.

Redgar also streams vod reviews and is always thinking abt the game. Shaz only streams ranked.
