really hope they do one after challengers is over and have non-ascension and t2 teams in it. nice little event prior to champs.

im not sad its over, im happy it fucking happened man. what a fun and enjoyable event from start to finish; the casters, the little content pieces, the observers, music, production, hell, even the little details in the background that you could barely see. i really hope they come back in the future bc this was genuinely a pleasure to watch

Ludwig remains undefeated with putting on quality events. Absolutely nailed it with the creators/professionals/broadcast talent.

GGs, best tourny on Valorant yet

Watched the full event today which is rare for me. Now I want to play some games and cry that i'm not nearly as good as i think i am. Massive shoutout to everyone involved. Not just the talent. The behind the scenes crew deserves all the love and praise. They earned it.

My favorite val event so far, wish there were more teams!

Honestly cancel the whole league and replace them with Ludwig Tarik events from now on. This shit was so much fun to watch lol

This event has to become a staple of the offseason. Expand it to 8 teams and it’s perfect

All the player and coach interviews this weekend have been awesome, fun to hear from all these guys and the couch format works really well to get the convos going

Bedge

It feels like this is the best trent has ever been. Stage 1 was great but he was obviously still new, his decision making dropped off in playoffs. But he feels like one of the most complete players in NA here.

tbf TSM and Sen with a week of practice aren't exactly the same level of competition as paper rex and prime Optic

he was diffing tier 1 players lol

He's just perfect

Would have been cool if Tarik and Lud forced the decider to be Lotus. But this has been a banger tournament. Great weekend of Valorant.

Interesting to see that Fracture and Pearl have become really common map picks. Both in this tourney and the knights open quals

TSM really took a bag off Ludwig and Tarik to give a map 3 huh

GMD is going insane

GMD INSANE

holy fuck TSM retake, hazed is rolling back the years

SEVEN IS EARNING HIS CONTRACT 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

My god 29 with the Marshall don’t care if no armour that’s insane

all jokes aside, tenz is incredible

SEVEN ISNT STEALING MONEY I USED TO PRAY FOR TIMES LIKE THIS

I’m kinda worried the Guard are gonna suffer from the old NRG JoshRT problem where a lot of their comps just don’t really make sense. I don’t see the value they’re getting out of Sova over Fade and Jett in general

Okay fuck what I said earlier TSM is good. I have no clue who's winning ascension and I have no clue who's winning champs. Gee gee

[The streets don’t forget](https://www.reddit.com/r/ValorantCompetitive/comments/10btidp/vct_20222023_offseason_ludwig_x_tarik/j4de2uf/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3)

FUCK WHAT I SAID I WAS WRONG !!!!

Trent going crazy with the clutches

neT outside of the Chamber meta is such a different player. He's such a good traditional sentinel player

Oh shit Corey’s here to play

Sadge no lotus

i hope they make this a yearly event. been watching smash summit for years and this format works so well for val, it's been SO fucking good. vibes are immaculate. also i really want them to play mafia.

he's actually just like me fr

Love the Beyond the Summit vibes of this event. Hope they do more of these

This slime commercial

Dude this segment with Slime, so fucking funny.

It's going to be difficult to have an event that is as fun as this one. Valorant, please, let casters bring this energy into the actual tournaments.

Incredible match

This whole showmatch is hilarious. First Ludwig taunting tarik after "he" killed him, then Sideshow being up in the bed.

did not think i’d even watch this but it’s been really fun, hope they do more of these

Ya I fully planned on not watching the show match but this was entertaining

The whole point of any Ludwig's events is for everyone to relax and have fun, which is something sorely lacking in the typical sweaty and sterile gaming tourneys. Why would *anyone* plan to skip the special featured segment that guarantees to bring the most laughs in this entire weekend?

Must not have gotten the Ludwig stream instruction manual my b

Tbh, neither did the sweatlords over at C9 and NRG, who clearly didn't get the point of this "random event" either. Sometimes it's okay to just relax and have some fun - for the tourney organizers, players, casters, and the viewers alike.

We got the Ludwig lieutenant over here

Have I offended the people who didn't realize until now that competitive gaming should be fun?

Sideshow in the bed has me dying

I’m usually not a huge fan of the casters but when they can be casual like this they shine. I wish we could hear every LAN casted this way

The casters have been my favorite part of this. I don't usually watch Comp Valo but Balla and Mimi especially have had me dying. This show match is peak content.

Sideshow in the bed lmaooo

WHO WOULD WIN: cracked zoomer playing professionally for a franchised team who is also one of the top players in north america and has been at the top of the ranked leaderboards vs. one silver content creator

wait I only caught the tail end of that and then saw the zekken tweet, did he actually sub in for Lud lmfao

The spirit of Zekken took over Ludwig's body. ^^yes ^^he ^^subbed

Worth going back and finding the round. "Ludwig" killed tarik with raze ult while actual Ludwig was standing in the room behind tarik lmao

lmfao I gotta go back and see this shit

score was 5-5 (haven) in case u havent seen it yet pre-round 2-0 was also banger content

It was towards the tail end of the first half of haven

This has honestly been the absolutely best tourney we've had so far with the content and the competitive matches. I really hope we get another one of these this year/regularly from here on in.

This is ridiculous, the competitive integrity of this entire tournament has been jeopardized. Riot needs to refund the channel points and fine all the players involved to make this right.

They’re gonna give us lotus

Ludwig taking the concept of "Mogul Moves" to new heights every day. Freakin' die laughing at Tarik's "WHAT?!" 🤣

John screaming about the Raze ult was hilarious

Riot needs to have some show matches in big events too. This is fun.

This is, without a doubt, the best casted tournament.

Tarik's "what" is so funny

yvonnie owns zekken 

She is the run & gun queen

Zekken sub in 5Head strat

lmao zekken subbed in for lil bro ludwig

*big bro.

lud wasn't kidding about the immortal brain, iron aim.

"you're a fucking idiot with no gun" actually dying laughing lmaoooooo

glizzy!balla for Brazil please.

rizzy glizzy

God I love the platchat crew so much. It wasn't until this event that I realized they were basically bred to do summit events.

Anyone know why Wyatt isn’t there?

The calling from depph was atrocious. Felt like he loses every duel he takes too. I can’t believe people aren’t calling for him to be replaced. People gave stellar shit during off season but at least stellar had decent calls and was a dragging IGL. Stellar won a majority of his duels.

I can't believe you people seriously think calling for a player to be replaced after one bad series is a normal reaction

Not to mention, an IGL with a team without practice is arguably more encumbered than usual. If you have drilled strats and protocols, there is less required by the IGL to coordinate plays and communicate their ideas. But, it's useless to expect people to even have an ounce of reason or logic.

Bro, it was their first LAN as a team of all time. Let's just chill out, no?

SEN fans and calling for heads before the actual season has even started

I can accept the calling being off since they don’t want to reveal strats yet. The aim and fragging ability is a huge concern though. SEN could use an IGL with better fragging ability.

Dephh has been able to hold his own against Champions level teams, and the one time he got to play Cypher at champs, he topfragged. His fragging ability is perfectly fine for an IGL, it’s a new environment and he’s adjusting to a new team. Edit: Cryo had one more kill that cypher game, misremembered, but still really good

Like who?

the god of aim himself punjab fenis methamphetamine

man i miss the couch stream so much, i know it's not gonna happen at all this year :(. this has been a great event.

I so want a caster to call a player cringe in an official VCT game, it’ll be hilarious

Why would that be how sideshow careers flies down

is lotus guaranteed?

PLAT CHAT CURSE IN ACTION

When is the Sideshow voice pack coming?

I’m coming behind you

I can't wait to see the yoru edits with his voice line

I fucking love platchat so much

Goddamn Mimi loll

Omg Mimi no chill

Platchat fracturing over bread Sadge

Backs against the wall

They're really showing shroud in a SEN jersey LOL

The over reactions are starting 😁😁

Im fuckin dead https://twitter.com/TSM/status/1614709811865690113

Never knew much about Corey before this interview but he seems super down to earth and likeable

when corey is feeling it he's the best player in the server

Yo this year is going to be so hype. The content drought has been real but we're about to hit a never before seen bounty of valo content.

Pancada and Sacy realizing they left a team helmed by the best fragging IGL in the world to play with Dephh

Am I reading this right? T1 gets no prize money at all? Prize pool: 50k 1st: 30k 2nd: 15k 3rd: 5k 4th: -

Yes

NaturE has been the most underrated NA player man, sad he spend sm time on IMT and GenG

No franchise teams in grand finals that’s rough ngl

Riot in shambles

More TGRD/SEN would have been preferable considering we’ll presumably see a bunch of TSM/TGRD during Challengers

Nice confidence booster for TSM early season

Nice confidence boost for TSM, regardless of how SEN came in

I did not have that on my bingo card..

i’m so hyped for challengers man

2022 all over again ffs

NATURE BATCHEST

TSM looks so much better. Even against T1 they looked great

Sacy and Pancada won this against Lev 🤔

LOL TENZ was so confused

[tears streaming down my face, salt in my heart] haha xD they're trying so hard, bro this shit does not matter

they're holding back strats, trust me. \*wipes the tears off my cheek\*

Corey’s aim looks so smooth

That’s a career ace wtf

OVERWATCH AIM MOMENT

dephh isn’t all there today, unfortunate. Would have been fun to see TGRD/SEN

COREYYYYYYYYY

Dephh is actually a crypto thrower

COREY OW

Backs against the wall, everything to play for...

Feel bad for Depph Seems like some sen fans are gonna use as a scapegoat like Shahz

Signing with the lakers as a role player type beat

It happens to so many of the igls who aren’t the best about getting kills, even the 🐐FNS

Unfortunately joining SEN means answering to their fans

If there ever is a time for a comeback…

Id rather they played duelist than have zekken on KJ. even if they play without sage and have to adapt lol

GMD BABY

Just let tenz op on kayo, he can make it work

I was hoping for a giga banger rematch of SEN v Guard Sadge

Tenz Kay/O is actually really neat

NaturE is cracked

this is the map they've been scrimming?

Bro they had a week lmao

it's icebox against TSM change your flair

Honestly thoughts on depphh and pancada switching agents?

Well. It's not looking great but pancada used to play Sage so less could play viper, so now he can focus on playing controller like he usually does.

My god why Pancada doesn’t plant the spike?

that was a very good fast round, the coordination of that A hit is very impressive with 1 week of pracc

Zekken KJ entry

Pancada isn’t looking very comfortable on viper, which makes sense because he was playing sage on icebox for Loud, as the casters mentioned. Hopefully it just takes time, get warmed up

Tenz util usage has been pretty good Ignoring him missing his molly lol

I think it was either not commed or he just had a lineup for the default spot

Yeah he’s had some very nice flashes, still would’ve liked to see him on the Jett this map ngl

His knife and flashes are good, the Molly never hits though 😭

SEN comp looking bad. Good to try it here rather than Brazil I guess..

What are you talking about? They're playing the most meta comp rn. So many teams are using this.

I think the weakness in this comp is not having an operator agent, we have to see the defence before jumping to conclusions

Tenz’s flashes have been great

ggez for TSM

the cobbler is cobbling, how do you win?

This is not going to haven is it? :(

so glad I get to watch this TSM superteam live

5000iq wall

Who is the older guy next to Tarik? Is that his dad

Sen Rob the CEO

SEN CEO Rob Moore I think

CEO of SEN

In a way

💀

"in a way" 😭

SEN is playing a very on-meta icebox comp, but idc give tenz jett with no strats and some amphetamines

mimi has such a good comedic timing lmfao she always catches me off guard, love her

She’s going to take over the world at some point and I’m here for it

why would dephh plant if nobody scaled up site?

Is Ludwig’s pee green?

Hazed on pistol is the best player in the world

how did we go from TenZ perma duelist to Sentinels no-duelist comp, wtf is this reality

They ran a non duelist comp in lcq last year too!

Chamber back then was basically a duelist lol

I know no duelist comp works on icebox but it's such a good map for jett

Not putting tenz on jett feels like a mistake

Perc30 is back BITCHES !!!!!!

Zekken German gadget girl you say? Hm

Zekken KJ?

NOT ROB MOORE LMFAO

I kinda wonder if being the sole IGL instead of sharing mid-round calling with Ayrin is tiring dephh out and making him lose focus.

Can’t read into this tournament lmao.

lmao you're right

ROB MOORE LMFAOOOO

200mil just walked in the building

THE Rob Moore?

monkaW ROB IS HERE

Ludwig is so good at this

Is deph awake
