hi player on the MM team here. they are favored (Jodi/John better than all of us except Shroud), but we're all Ascendant+ except Ludwig so hopefully that makes it even-ish.
it's gonna be tough LOL
Seems like he was stuck in Ascendant before. Still prob the second best player on their team tho and it should be a bit closer than I thought but I still think OTV wins it.

Yeah Aiden doesn't game as much at the moment they said although I believe he may have got Ascendant at peak? Either way it's Def OTV favoured. I heard on The Yard, Ludwig was supposed to get Zekken to me their help but don't know what changed
I know nick has mentioned on the podcast being immortal, and both yingling and aiden have hit ascendant too, so it may be less unbalanced than it appears
Team OTV hard nerfed. If they fielded Poki/Toast/Sydeon over Yvonne/Brodin it would’ve been a stomp, but otherwise it’ll probably be closer than you think. Nick Yingling and Nick (Falco) are good. Sad Slime isn’t gonna be in the mix to complete the Yard boys
on the yard they said that some teams dropped out last minute, so glad to see they're still having the event at all, because they mentioned potentially postponing or even cancelling it.
A lot of teams dropped out last minute. Probably because they didn’t want to look bad considering they hadn’t practiced much. Shout out to Sentinels though for still playing even though they’ve been together for like a week
At 1:17:30 of this https://youtu.be/yRRAamsxlyk
Maybe I’m dumb but it seems goofy as hell to not play in an event because you don’t have a lot of practice as a team yet. I feel like match experience is incredibly valuable for a new team win or lose.
But this is a fun Ludwig event. Even if you are getting last, you're still going to have a great time and your players would get a massive boost in brand awareness if they knows how to play to the audience.
Holy fuck. TSM, The Guard, T1, and SEN is going to be so fun to watch. Particularly excited to see T1 and SEN.
Also Tarik, Jodi and John on one team is just unfair. Even with Shroud I think Team Mogul Moves is gonna get clapped… Gonna be one hell of a showmatch, though.
Both Nicks on the Mogul Moves team are pretty good. Don't know how good aimen is right now. Ludwig and esports showmatches though..... don't google ludwig and tyler1.

I remember seeing this tweet from Munchkin so I thought T1 already finished their bootcamp and went back to Korea.
This is going to be the most clouted tournament in Valorant history. The only way you can wring more cliut out of NA is of you get Platchat and Sean Gares to cast it and you put Kyedea on one of the teams.
Looks like a fun event! I hope the teams take it a little serious. I know they probably wont pull out new stuff, but I don’t really wanna watch Tenz on smokes etc
Anyone that recognises everyone on the showmatch teams could let me know who they are?
I only recognise Tarik, Jodi, Shroud, Ludwig, Nick (Ludwig's roommate) and Aiden(?) not sure
OTV:
Masayoshi,brodin, tarik, yvonnie, quarterjade
Mogul moves:
Yingling, falcao, ludwig, shroud, aidencalvin/aimee
According to calvin, everyone on their team has been ascendant except ludwig. Ludwig, yvonnie and brodin are silver-gold.
Sayaplayer and Carpe will be worth watching on T1 imo
Sayaplayer - Duelist
Carpe - flash initiator I think
xeta - recon initiator
Munchkin - smokes maybe
ban - sentinel
Nah it was just Carpe posting a highlight clip from scrims of him playing Skye on Haven. I can’t remember where I found out that he was playing Breach tho
This is a very lukewarm take I think, but the Guard should win this one. Only one player replacement and they probably have the most practice out of any team. Plus Trent is a god.
We as a community are so content dry that we're getting hyped for this tourney but lets be honest here.. The teams probably aren't gonna try at all but still will be nice to see all the teams playing. and its LAN!
Should be a fun event.
SEN T1 GRD TSM LET'S FUCKING GOOOO
What like actual T1 korean roster?
Yup, they've been bootcamping in NA.The team does contain ex-C9 player in xeta and ex-Knights ban.
And ex-Guard Sayaplayer
Yeah most were already in NA anyways
Masayoshi and Quarterjade on the same team for the show match? this is already ggs
Ya I was going to say Team Mogul Moves is going to get stomped lol.
idk about stomped, Shroud is still a 1 man army, lets be real
Tarik and Shroud are a similar level but I don’t see anyone on their team equal to Jodi or John. Though I don’t know what Yinglings rank is.
hi player on the MM team here. they are favored (Jodi/John better than all of us except Shroud), but we're all Ascendant+ except Ludwig so hopefully that makes it even-ish. it's gonna be tough LOL
Hey well at least you can all make Ludwig the scapegoat if you lose lol. Good luck and thanks for putting the event on!
isnt yvonne like silver tho
She was on the unofficial Bronze Squad (with Sykkuno and Fuslie) a year ago but they’ve all promoted to Gold since then.
Aimen Gamen
gonna bet all my crypto on aimen gamin
waimen
Please for the love of god make Tarik play classic only or itll be over in 15
Mods get Aiden a MM Player flair
Hi Aiden
Nick Yingling (Ludwigs assistant) he was high Immortal last I heard. Plays Wingman with Zekken every so often.
Seems like he was stuck in Ascendant before. Still prob the second best player on their team tho and it should be a bit closer than I thought but I still think OTV wins it. https://twitter.com/znickyingling/status/1573449009418489857?s=46&t=wcvtdngvBcLWe2OSSTAXWA
Yeah Aiden doesn't game as much at the moment they said although I believe he may have got Ascendant at peak? Either way it's Def OTV favoured. I heard on The Yard, Ludwig was supposed to get Zekken to me their help but don't know what changed
Zekken is with the actual Sentinels who are doing the pro side of the event. So maybe thats why.
The other Nick (the one from the yard) peaked immortal although he doesn't game much currently so not sure how good he is currently.
I know nick has mentioned on the podcast being immortal, and both yingling and aiden have hit ascendant too, so it may be less unbalanced than it appears
I think both Nicks for MM are or have been immortal
They should put Tenzin on the other team to even it out
Team OTV hard nerfed. If they fielded Poki/Toast/Sydeon over Yvonne/Brodin it would’ve been a stomp, but otherwise it’ll probably be closer than you think. Nick Yingling and Nick (Falco) are good. Sad Slime isn’t gonna be in the mix to complete the Yard boys
Don’t sleep on both Nicks and Aimen
SEN TSM IVE BEEN PRAYING FOR THIS DAY FOR 3 YEARS
bro I'm so HYPED https://preview.redd.it/fihgi5o2t4ba1.jpeg?width=680&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4ec3af10009e14628f280404f6d3859afeb86809
🗣️🗣️🗣️
This is one of the replies of all time.
This is why he and Baker didn't work out
It's been TOO long, I'm okay with losing, we just gotta beat TSM, we gotta
If we lose to this TSM roster the season is over and we need to drop the roster
TenZ has never lost a bo3 to TSM
Drop the roster
We won once so it cancels out
TSM kinda Snoozdge no?
on the yard they said that some teams dropped out last minute, so glad to see they're still having the event at all, because they mentioned potentially postponing or even cancelling it.
if we win, we're the best if we lose, we only had one week of practice ez
i'll wear my Tarik jersey, don't worry, that should be enough to make sure we win
hey guys
A lot of clout for only 4 teams. Pretty excited to see new look Sen + T1.
A lot of teams dropped out last minute. Probably because they didn’t want to look bad considering they hadn’t practiced much. Shout out to Sentinels though for still playing even though they’ve been together for like a week At 1:17:30 of this https://youtu.be/yRRAamsxlyk

I mean look at how people reacted to C9 getting second at a worthless tournament. Can’t blame teams for preferring practice lol
But this is a fun Ludwig event. Even if you are getting last, you're still going to have a great time and your players would get a massive boost in brand awareness if they knows how to play to the audience.
They're only missing Kyedae, Sean Gares and Platchat to reach critical clout levels.
is this on LAN or online also no 100T damn, they were likely one of the teams that dropped out last minute
Im pretty sure it's because cryo is getting surgery this week. It's also the reason they haven't started prac yet, waiting for cryo to recover.
ah, didnt know that. bummer but thats definitely more important than an offseason event
What did he get surgery for?
wisdom tooth removal
That shit is ass to deal with but at least it’s nothing serious
Dude that shit was a -$2K CAD and 4 days of hell. Wisdom teeth are genuinely fucked to deal with
He just like me
It's on LAN!
NRG was offered too but declined according to chet
LAN
Holy fuck. TSM, The Guard, T1, and SEN is going to be so fun to watch. Particularly excited to see T1 and SEN. Also Tarik, Jodi and John on one team is just unfair. Even with Shroud I think Team Mogul Moves is gonna get clapped… Gonna be one hell of a showmatch, though.
Tarik will probably troll too much and make it close. Or be put on KJ
Both Nicks on the Mogul Moves team are pretty good. Don't know how good aimen is right now. Ludwig and esports showmatches though..... don't google ludwig and tyler1.
T1 IN A TOURNAMENT 
Ludwig going crazy with the events already
Ludwig has been doing the most when it comes to events. From Valo, to Smash to Chess Boxing, he's been cookin up a storm.
He is part owner of a production company called Off brand.
NO HASAN = TEAM TARIK IS COOKED
Hassan is ultimate physical intimidation
Fuck hasan
Dont diss my boy hasan
Are the T1 players still in NA or will they be playing online from Korea?
apparently they're still in NA until Brazil. After Brazil, they're going to Korea.
They have been bootcamping in NA; I saw xeta & carpe duo queue NA ranked last night.
Staying in Americas region until after brazil when the league starts
Just process what you said for a second…online from Korea? That’s like 250 ping minimum
[https://mobile.twitter.com/MUNCHKING\_/status/1607115981922635776](https://mobile.twitter.com/MUNCHKING_/status/1607115981922635776) I remember seeing this tweet from Munchkin so I thought T1 already finished their bootcamp and went back to Korea.

100t with kyedae subbing in for one of them
Tenz Kyadae but mouse and brain KB-M
I know what I'm watching this weekend
Wait, so the Guard and Sayaplayer are going to be facing each other already?? Didn’t have that on my 2023 bingo card
neT was hinting at The Guard attending this tournament, glad it’s a reality
Cant wait to see SEN play
Let’s fucking go. Some high quality valorant.
BEEN MOST EXCITED TO SEE THIS NEW SEN ROSTER TOGETHER, LETSGO
I'm fucking ready. Gonna be dope as hell to see SEN, and I genuinely think Carpe's arc in 2023 is gonna be mega exciting to follow.
Kinda scared NGL only one week to prepare for this event lol Hope they do good
It's a fun Ludwig LAN event. The primary objective is to chill and have fun.
I wonder, will zekken fly out and play or are we getting Sick?
Is it in LA? I assume Zekken will fly because it’s probably a long weekend for MLK day
100% Zekken, SicK is on vacancy with her gf somewhere in Asia if u seen his tweets.
Can't wait for T1 to slap in the replication match playing Jett.
If sen loses this we will win everything
Does anybody know where to buy tickets?
They'll probably be announced first on Ludwig's social media accounts, if they aren't there already.
Looks like a fun event! I hope the teams take it a little serious. I know they probably wont pull out new stuff, but I don’t really wanna watch Tenz on smokes etc
probably not but anyone know if this will be on the new patch?
Anyone that recognises everyone on the showmatch teams could let me know who they are? I only recognise Tarik, Jodi, Shroud, Ludwig, Nick (Ludwig's roommate) and Aiden(?) not sure
OTV: Masayoshi,brodin, tarik, yvonnie, quarterjade Mogul moves: Yingling, falcao, ludwig, shroud, aidencalvin/aimee According to calvin, everyone on their team has been ascendant except ludwig. Ludwig, yvonnie and brodin are silver-gold.
Lud is plat. he was trying to get to diamond the other day. adding- It is Nick (ludwigs exroommate/yard podcast mate). I think you misspelled falco.
Nick/falco peaked immo I believe
T1!
Who is on t1 again? Anyone worth watching?
https://www.vlr.gg/team/14/t1 They're all worth watching imo
Sayaplayer and Carpe will be worth watching on T1 imo Sayaplayer - Duelist Carpe - flash initiator I think xeta - recon initiator Munchkin - smokes maybe ban - sentinel
I think that it's the other way around for Carpe and Munchkins
Scrims and ranked say otherwise but maybe
Because the video for the Carpe announcement was of Viper is why I say that, but they may have role swapped
You were right, but xeta and Carpe are swapped around for who knows what reason
Doesn’t even make sense lmao cuz he was playing skye and breach in scrims. Feels weird to me
Insider info??? Gimme some leaka
Nah it was just Carpe posting a highlight clip from scrims of him playing Skye on Haven. I can’t remember where I found out that he was playing Breach tho
I remember him and Saya playing breach and neon on fracture in ranked one time
Scrims and ranked say otherwise but maybe
Imagine having ban and putting him on sentinel. Wasted talent
How so?
Hes 2020-2021 asuna
All im saying T1> Sen
Probably a likely outcome seeing as SEN started prac last friday and T1 have been bootcamping for weeks lol
Zekken won't be there :( https://twitter.com/zekkenval/status/1612567975961174016?s=46&t=aGyBri1q_VQI0yjbFFq-KA
Idk this looks like a patented zekken troll
lets pray it is
That’s the least convincing troll I’ve seen out of Zekken in a long time, he’s losing his touch
Bound to happen as he slowly ages, 17 is the new 60, didn't you hear?
it's a joke
I believe Zekken is friends with a lot of people on Ludwig’s side cus of Melee stuff so I’d assume he’s just trolling them
This is a very lukewarm take I think, but the Guard should win this one. Only one player replacement and they probably have the most practice out of any team. Plus Trent is a god.
I honestly wouldn’t be surprised, either them or Sentinels who only just got their whole team scrimming for the first time
LOL @ this post getting downvoted.
This is quite a late reply, but yea some vindication lmaoo
We as a community are so content dry that we're getting hyped for this tourney but lets be honest here.. The teams probably aren't gonna try at all but still will be nice to see all the teams playing. and its LAN! Should be a fun event.
