I mean did you see yay's headhunter on Icebox vs TGRD? I'd say that's a feat of precision.

Better than optics imo

If Victor plays well, optic win, if not, DRX win.

or happy for you idk

Yes I do agree there's a very small gap, never said differently.

I agree with you man. I do think M3C, Fnatic, and FPX at full strength are better than any other teams in the world rn, but I also think that could easily change in a few months. Valorant is still super new and it's very exciting to see that it's catering to teams worldwide.

Damwon beat xset unless Cryo goes even more dumb stupid. They really need to get that guy on a team with a spark in it. Xset is lowkey lifeless.

China is not looking anywhere near even JP rn.

Half the people here are 12

Nah this dude is actually thinking and making points, a welcome change from most on VLR

I honestly think they could. The M3C vs Fnatic game was possibly the best valorant I've ever seen from any region and any team, and I think either of those teams at full power would have a chance of beating any team in the world. Obviously not guaranteed and I definitely don't think they'd win everytime but I'd give it 55/45 in favor of either of those two teams.

Dude watch some of their matches, FPX are most definitely capable of beating DRX. Better fragging power plus insane midround adaptions. That being said, DRX is a great team and I'm excited to see them play against optic.

This would be amazing ngl

Prx outaimed and outpaced them plus most of the Guard members were super passive and didn't maintain the same great fundamentals they had in NA quals.

Forsaken living didn't really impact the round at all bc Jinggg had already killed Trent + Saya in mid. Soulcas' was definitely worse.

I think it'll be a close game but we simply don't know if either team is definitively better than the other until they play.

I doubt the music was the biggest factor, but that interview just made me appreciate McE even more. He does so much more for the team than just strat and comp making, and I trust him to drill them into being even better in the future.

I just want more international LANs and hopefully ones with crowds someday!

That doesn't matter look at this:

Saya's so nice

Can it not be both? I agree that PRX was a better team today and their style worked perfectly against TGRD, but I ALSO believe that some TGRD players (like trent) played a lot more passive than they usually would becasue they were nervous. Does that mean TGRD would beat PRX every time online? No not at all. Does it mean they might've made it more competitive? Yes. I think they'll come back stronger and I'm excited to watch them in the future, just like I'm excited to watch Loud, DRX, Optic, G2, PRX, and Zeta continue fighting in Masters.

pizza knives??

I'd say that one is slightly different becasue they're playing against a team they've played against many many times. That adds a level of familiarity. I'm not quite sure what point you're trying to make, but if it's something like, TGRD are just bad and suck as a team and NA sucks as a whole, imma have to hard disagree.

That was also on T1 lmfao, we don't talk about it.

Not trying to take anything away from PRX, they played great and put a ton of pressure on TGRD with their aggressiveness and individual skill.

If you watch valyn's interview, it's pretty obvious that this wasn't how they expected to play. Nerves just got to them and it happens. I'd imagine a bunch of people expecting big things from them as NA's #1 seed could add a lot of pressure as well.

Yupppp PRX played well, ggs to them. Sad to only see Guard play against 1 other international team in officials.

Sad to see them only get to play against one international team (Damn you riot!!!) but ggs to PRX, they played well.

LOVE THAT VID

LMFAO you do better then, Matrix13e from Europe

They're better as well

No I know. I think DRX is doing better than TGRD at this event, but hey you gotta have some hope.

HOLY SHIT

My man's playing both sides

Well tbf DRX lost Haven vs PRX and then won the other two so maybe....

Yeah there's such a big difference. I believe in him tho, I'm sure he'll get more comfortable as his career goes on.

I'm with you.

Unless you get collated by Forsaken :(

I fully agree with this

Dw TGRD are fighting. 11-8 now and it's only the first map.

They were known as scrim gods beforehand. Berlin was when they managed to convert that into LAN performance. My point is the Guard have time to grow.

Nah Yay is definitely as good if not better than one singular leaf

Yes we've been over this they're still a super new team. Gambit didn't win on LAN instantly too.

Alright this map is a PRX win, hopefully TGRD can do better on split.

LMFAOOO AGED LIKE MILK + FRESH FRUIT

Yeah exactly. At the same time, I think if they can play their own game, they can still beat PRX. Rn PRX is just forcing everything on them.

I do

He changes team every 10 sec, makes the fans look worse. Hate Ballsaxx.

Sure man idec who wins I just want good games and better valorant

Ec1s did not impress mechanically and liquid need someone mechanically skilled

I'll be so excited for that
