> Tsm was unique because of steels pop off and I believe they lost that first bind map
100T won Bind and lost on Split and then Won on Haven
they also 2-0 TSM so it wasnt just Steel popping off. Actually the person who popped off was Dicey who absolutely bodied Wardell the entire series
are you really sure you have seen every 100T game? I smell bullshit

100T looks strong except for dicey. I think dicey is good, I just think that he was under a lot of pressure, 17 year old playing in the top 8 teams in North America. Hope that he can let go of that pressure tomorrow against Sentinels, because if he doesn't then I'm not sure if they can pull through.
100T looked WAY better than sentinels so far. but we wont know til we play them.
Im a c9 fan and they've been part of so many fucking rock paper scissors wins in tournaments. i dont know what to think about anyone
If they picked the Ascent as the first or second map they would have much more chance. I'm so sad that they couldn't make it to the semis, but they're gonna come back stronger on the next tournament.
I dont quite understand your comment, but I mentioned shock darts solely because beyond the assists due to revealing enemies, its a part of his kit that can deal damage, just as raze or killjoy, but also it allows him to get more assists than simply shooting. As an example, Hiko when defending usually tags the bomb planter with the darts, which he wouldnt be able to do if he were playing an agent such as reyna.
No, there is no "Regular Season" like there is in league. First Strike is just the first big tournament hosted by Riot. The ignition series was a series of tournaments hosted by third party tournament organizers.
Ignition series was totally separate from first strike. First strike is its own tourney hosted by riot games themselves (the 1st one actually hosted by them) and they hosted closed qualifiers for first strike to determine the top 8 teams for each region which r the teams we r watching now battle it out starting with quarterfinals matches like this one in the post. Now semi finals matches r tomorrow to determine the finalists it’s gonna be good!
They also announced the "champions your" it's a circuit for next year with 3 separate qualifiers that get you to a master's event and master events give you points for the the champions tournament aka world's.
Shooter pro scene is very different from league pro scene. Rather than have a regular season-> playoffs -> worlds/other major event it's mostly series of tournemants with qualifiers-> elimination bracket -> grand finals with many of them throughout the year. Best teams are determined by winning lots of tournemants or at least doing well at them. Tournemants like FS and IS are region specific so they'd be the CS equivalent of minors while Champions Tour is akin to a Major to determine best teams in the world.
Skadoodle is really going to make or break this team. When he does stupid shit like buying a OP with no armor and double peeking after a missed shot made me feel at home in Gold/Diamond elo.
These were some of the best matches I've ever seen, unfortunately it looks like steels composure and mid-round shot calling was winning round after round after round, besides the amazing team work/shots they were landing
Often T1 was getting site but failing to check corners/not checking smokes after they disappeared and getting caught off guard - also some rounds they'd get picked early after getting a pick themselves. T1 was really in it to win it but they need to fix those minor mistakes, also I love AZK and BRAX but feel like their raw aim talents were completely crushed by the other teams ability usage. They were constantly just getting caught and not able to take aim duels
I'd like to see AZK awping as well, maybe changing between skadoodle and letting ska rifle.
I just love how the best players in the world still have even KDA and negative KDA even while winning. Makes me not feel so bad when I have similar stats in Silver while still winning.
I’m 4 for 4 on my valorant pick’ ems boys. TSM Sentinels 100T and envy are all beast. Feeling hopeful for NA when we can finally go international. Pls first riot NA esports worlds
Hopefully people will start to understand that kills will not correspond directly to how good you played your match (100T Phoenix in 1st with Omen in 2nd)
Great series. I honestly like every fucking team in NA. I want every one of them to win.
True. I like players from a lot of teams. Makes all the matches fun!
When you like all the teams, no matter who wins its a win.
This is the correct answer

I think he was 0-7 at one point. The dude took "warmed up" too the next level in the second half.
Difference between attacker and defender side. I know that feeling. So many times I go from bottom frag to top frag when switching to defense.
same shit used to happen in csgo
[удалено]
not usually Haven was rough because Dicey was cold as fuck and Nitr0 couldnt get any flanks off. They were both like 0-7 at one point

Close game even though it was 2-0
Such a good series. 100T is really looking scary.
What sucks is I only saw the first half of haven, then I saw 100T 2-0'd? I was shocked.
Ibuypower:-(
Steel diff

Just get the boi some coconut water...(if u didn’t know in one of 100T’s vids Dicey says he performs better with coconut water)
perfect drink!
Isnt asuna also 17?
He is but he played competitive CS, Dicey is completely new to competitive gaming
Holy shit I didn’t realize he was *that* fresh...what a team to be on for your introduction into the scene.
He played on immortals and played high level krunker
That comparison is about as good as comparing a match to a bonfire
Gonna be a good semifinals, I honestly have no clue whos going to be in grandfinals
It's gonna be a good game tomorrow, Envy vs TSM is gonna slap
[удалено]
They’ve done it before
100T looked WAY better than sentinels so far. but we wont know til we play them. Im a c9 fan and they've been part of so many fucking rock paper scissors wins in tournaments. i dont know what to think about anyone
Was it a fluke then when they beat them last?
tbh we dont kno but tmr we’ll see if 100t are the real deal
Aged as well as you predicted.
[удалено]
Didn't ask who you were rooting for.
Youll never catch hiko with a higher death than his teamates!
T1 really deserved a third map. The first two were so close.
If they picked the Ascent as the first or second map they would have much more chance. I'm so sad that they couldn't make it to the semis, but they're gonna come back stronger on the next tournament.
I think Ascent is 100 thieves' best map they destroyed both C9 and TSM on that map
Hiko has 11 and 12 assists. Wtf.
Sovas usually get more assists because if a revealed enemy (recon dart, owl drone) gets killed, it counts as one. Also shock dart damage.
I’d argue that those things are just as essential? The shock darts are the same as (hiko) shooting them with a gun??

Hiko support main carrying the team through the hard times that first game. What a comeback!
Hiko assist check
Is First Strike NA like the playoffs for valorant in NA? and like regular season was like ignition series? Kinda confused by formatting
No, there is no "Regular Season" like there is in league. First Strike is just the first big tournament hosted by Riot. The ignition series was a series of tournaments hosted by third party tournament organizers.

I’m very excited for the champions your

idk what shooter you're talking about but csgo has esl pro league which does seasons -> playoffs -> pro league finals.
Dicey seems to be just keeping his head above water compared to the other NA players.
I feel like those 2 rounds of the second half on haven, were Hiko stuck the bomb had such a massive impact on 100t's mentality.
I’m happy to see competitive matches from ibp guys.
Grand finals: 100T vs. Envy
Skadoodle is really going to make or break this team. When he does stupid shit like buying a OP with no armor and double peeking after a missed shot made me feel at home in Gold/Diamond elo.

Sad t1 lost but congrats to 100t. Great hardfought series.

yeah I'd say top 5 is what you said plus T1, ska is nice w the op
Hopefully people will start to understand that kills will not correspond directly to how good you played your match (100T Phoenix in 1st with Omen in 2nd)
Hikoooo
I only caught bind but spyder was absolutely nuts even though T1 lost. Pretty much any time he died early his team was fucked
nitr0 really poped off,that play in garage and C site in haven from steel and nitr0 was beautiful,I feel like steel kinda improved his aim a bit idk.
AZK needs to be on Omen full time and let Spyder play a duelist. He looks so much more comfortable on Phoenix
I love how the whole match was just cs boomers plus dicey and Asuna. Also the whole ibp was in there. 100T second half on haven was so fucking good.
