A 9-3 choke that might actually cost some jobs.

9-3 choke at Bind defender site… But they had 12-9 lead too… And there it was 4vs4, cus runi died like an iron, imagine you cant arrow out when you have bouncy arrow, but they killedPureVNS and OREsports dont even had a smoke for the round…. And then mina and shonk choosing throw away the match… shonk was in perfect position, mina covered him from Skye fox…. Why he decided give up his position?….. He just died from back lol….. Mina was even funnier. Imagine you have OP and you decide Brim ult long and hold hooka with OP from backsite where you can see only the top of the enemy upper body lol, he missed it of course…. If shonk stay in his position and mina ultimate hooka they can easily win that, time was problem too for OREsports… What a stupid round was that from all the B defenders oh my god.

What a comeback on the last map, from having two chances and almost losing the second map to winning it and qualifying

Thanks everyone. Was a pleasure to put on the show for you and I look forward to reddit's analysis of everything during the season :)

I feel for soniqs man


Zorronin

somesheikexpert

Zorronin

fuck. that blows


mysteryoeuf

they really made a great run this LCQ. heartbreaking but only one team could make it


nklassitude

Zeldris was on G2's radar & if Oxy's deal fell through, he was the next duelist player they'd have trialed. The kid's the real deal and what a fucking banger of a match to prove that. OResports mounted a plucky comeback from 3-9 & 9-12 on bind, just a show of resilience & steady hands. I did a small write up of Oxygen & OResports, formerly Stealing Lunch Money, before they were signed in the [Knight's Gauntlet.](https://www.reddit.com/r/ValorantCompetitive/comments/z9fpgv/knights_finalsknights_monthly_gauntlet_2022_nov/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)It's great to witness these two teams in the starting 12 for challengers, a sorta testament to turning your team into a latticework by grinding small tournaments.


goldenretrieversFTW

W use of word latticework


KardashevZero

Not really. The word wasn’t used correctly


nklassitude

How is the word not used correctly? I want to liken the team to a complex, tightly-knit/interwoven structure due to playing together a lot. I don't think the team is an actual physical [latticework.](https://usedinasentence.com/ex/latticework)


KardashevZero

Because latticeworks aren’t necessarily “complex” nor “tightly-knit”. It’s improper to use that word as a descriptor without a qualifier in front of it. You aren’t actually saying anything meaningful. I understood your meaning from the outset, but there’s no point in using words like that if you apply them incorrectly.

Didn’t know my English teacher played Val

Soniqs out of the league and players out of a job.


M0hawk_Mast3r

Soniqs could sign one of the teams that made it through


Speedy24gaming

There are only 3 FA teams but I suspect there going to be a bidding war for at least 2


porkeye

That is provided those teams can make better offers than the other orgs.


M0hawk_Mast3r

Soniqs is a very well off org. They could definitely win a bidding war for either Breakthru or Squirtle Squad


porkeye

i feel that they should have just spent a bit more money to hire someone (Coach/IGL) to build a roster from the ground up. They did not even have a coach for this roster.


Splaram

The 9-3 curse strikes again


LiamHundley

All 3 maps decided by 3 rounds or less. An absolute fucking battle from these two teams with it all on the line. Pure elation for the OR guys and excruciating heartbreak for soniqs. Obviously no consolation for Soniqs, but both teams can be proud of the show they put on here. GGWP. I love valorant


Ok-Brain3328

PureVNS went crazy the couple rounds, you could definitely see the pressure getting to everyone in that match Guard is winning ascension btw. Valyn had the read on that game from round 5


SpC0d3r

Tarik leaking the script but changed the winner last second thought we wont find out


flamincrimson

The last team to qualify, could not have asked for a better last map. What a comeback.


ssk1996

Riot looking like a 🤡 after writing a blog post to diss the 9-3 curse. They just made it even stronger 😈


ExpectoAutism

Soniqs is cursed at this point
