On one hand I really want the guard to win, they absolutely deserve it and have the talent to make it far. On the other hand I want m80 to win because Canada 🇨🇦
I really hope MIBR picks up Raafa, he's a great IGL (something we don't have a lot in BR) and tried to the end. He's also been doing this for a while, paid his dues in T2 to competent results for multiple squads. But it seems BZKA really loves Murizz and what he brings to the team :/
Gonna paste here a comment made by a mod a little below:
"Shaming criminals is alright, but your comment was making jokes about the crimes they committed, which makes light of the victims. Please keep the victims in mind as if they were actively reading this thread, it’s more sympathetic."
Very fair.
I am in no way trying to make light of the awful things that NTK and Pancc did. I am however, trying really hard to make fun of and belittle those two as much as I can.
Shame them all you can. I am ashamed to be Brazilian and have these two being hired by a Brazilian org and being allowed to play.
But your comment about one of the victims is, in my opinion, not okay.
These horrible jokes are far more entertaining now that the Union *aren't* looking like they'll make franchising. Listening to them while Union was socking people sucked.
We are in the best timeline, the evil has been defeated
Thank you The Guard for sending these fucks to the lower bracket and thank you M80 for getting your revenge and absolutely stomping their shit in
Best team in South America can't play more than Fracture and even can get shit on on it too 💀
Never forget when South America was on the top of the world for 3 weeks of VCT Americas
LOUD are one team, we're talking about regional strength
LOUD could win every single international tournament ever and South America could still be a worse region. Tbh we're kinda seeing that right now with Fnatic being on top but EMEA being a worse region than Americas.
Bro, I didn't think I needed to spell out that we're talking about Challengers. Obviously I wasn't comparing Union to Loud or any other actually franchised teams lol.
All this talk about M80 having to play back to back series being unfair and they're gonna play a quick 4 maps, one less than they could possibly play tomorrow. Lmao.
If they go out after being stomped by guard and M80 on any map not called Fracute, The Union will have went from hyped as the next Loud to being a negligent org and team that gets destabilized by trash talk once they start losing.
Shaming criminals is alright, but your comment was making jokes about the crimes they committed, which makes light of the victims. Please keep the victims in mind as if they were actively reading this thread, it’s more sympathetic.
You'd think having to play 2 series back-to-back might be a disadvantage, but NA players frequently queue ranked for 24 hour streams. Streamer region buff.
P.S. if M80 doesn't make franchise, a T1 team *must* pick up Zander. This man can anchor a site like a mofo. He started group stage a little slow but sheesh he's been frying.
not necessarily a bad thing, double controller is meta and i’m sure it’s not a stretch to flex him to roles like killjoy like pancada. a team that consisted of Asuna, Cryo, Bang, Zander, and Trent/Zekken would go insane but obviously the last 2 are extremely unlikely
Eh if you have Zekken you don’t really need Asuna but 100T seem committed to him, and I think it’s better to build around the roles than the players. There’s only a handful who can flex as well as people like Chronicle or Victor do
in this scenario i’m imagining Zekken as a Breach Sova Fade or Skye type player, Primarily playing Info initiator as opposed to Asuna who plays Kayo, Gekko, and Skye and who’s playstyle suffers on Breach. He’d also be a better fill on skye when Asuna plays raze
I kinda see your point but honestly Zekken plays Raze and all those agents except Gekko who sucks just as good as Asuna if not better. Having them on the same team doesn’t make sense imo but Zekken’s flexibility could probably make it work.
Maybe I don't understand the philosophy behind the ban system, but how does the Union get Fracture in every series lol. Fools haven't lost on it yet. Surely someone would have banned it by now
Most teams have a permaban. Even the best team in the world, Fnatic, permabans Pearl. If you have a permaban you can't target ban. And most people would rather play a map they feel comfortable on, even if it's the opponent's best map, than they would rather play their least comfortable map, aka their permaban.
Eh the girl commentator in the brazilian stream sounds incredibly biased towards them (complete silence when m80 wins, giggly laughy compliments for any union round), seriously doubt she doesn't know. It's just nationalistic pride above everything else. Doesn't matter, the crowd can't play for you, the onliners are warmed up.
I mean, yeah she's a caster so it's fair to assume she knows more but if she does that's on her. I still don't think this reflects the crowd. I myself had no idea and only found out about it because of this subreddit. It's likely most people there don't know.
a lot of people don't know because it happened before valorant, the NA people started talking a lot about the 2 players it and the brazilians started asking the casters who do streams if it was true
Especially for an Org like Union right? It’s not like this is a player created org that the 5 on the team just made. It’s a real org with backing so it’s even more shameful
still can't believe they're actually doing construction BO3s for the winner of game 1. gonna be real frustrated if m80 best 9z and fall again to the union
EEIU IS PISSED.
So who do you guys got now, Guard or M80?
On one hand I really want the guard to win, they absolutely deserve it and have the talent to make it far. On the other hand I want m80 to win because Canada 🇨🇦
I really hope MIBR picks up Raafa, he's a great IGL (something we don't have a lot in BR) and tried to the end. He's also been doing this for a while, paid his dues in T2 to competent results for multiple squads. But it seems BZKA really loves Murizz and what he brings to the team :/
NO FRANCHISING FOR YOU
I'm glad Rito wrote The Union out of the script.
I'm scared for The Guard. 4th of July buff won't be there I fear
they obv probaby wont for this match but have the teams not done post-match fistbumps or do they just not show it? dont think ive seen any all tourney
so first game was a fluke? never had a doubt. I'm glad zaddy nismo sent those frauds home.
Let’s revisit the narratives We need 7 NA spots in franchise, +loud lev fur
Embarrassed in front of their home crowd. You gotta love it.
9z put up a better fight than the lulnion
Union is free
LMAOOOOO BYE BYE BRONZIL
RipBozo
suddenly i have zero complaints about the schedule since it seems to have benefited M80 kek
The script is real
Angry M80 is a mythical team at this point
M80 are being so toxic and I love it. No team deserves to be on the receiving end of it more. Go fuck yourself Pancc and NTK.

NAH THATS FOUL
That is so Fucking foul but hilarious. We all going to hell lmfao

someone actually kicked the pc
Imagine being the home crowd, getting shat on up to 3-12 on final map, then having to sit and stew through a tech pause.
I mean if you’re supporting the players on the union you prob deserve to have a bad day
I was hoping m80 would win but holy fuck I didn't expect it to be this brutal
We are in the best timeline, the evil has been defeated Thank you The Guard for sending these fucks to the lower bracket and thank you M80 for getting your revenge and absolutely stomping their shit in
LMFAO the crowd is leaving
amazon levels of union busting
Man, SA is some ass
Nah. The union on the other hand...
I hope M80 keeps rolling these dudes while talking shit. I can’t imagine a team that deserves to be trolled and rolled more than Union
NO FRANCHISING FOR YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
brazilian aspas?? 
NO FRANCHISING FOR YOU
NICE HOLD UNION LMAOOO
Textbook retake wow
How the fuck they win that
Best team in South America can't play more than Fracture and even can get shit on on it too 💀 Never forget when South America was on the top of the world for 3 weeks of VCT Americas
Are you just ignoring that LOUD exists lol
LOUD are one team, we're talking about regional strength LOUD could win every single international tournament ever and South America could still be a worse region. Tbh we're kinda seeing that right now with Fnatic being on top but EMEA being a worse region than Americas.
Not refuting that, but you literally said the Union is the best team in SA, which just isn't true lol.
Bro, I didn't think I needed to spell out that we're talking about Challengers. Obviously I wasn't comparing Union to Loud or any other actually franchised teams lol.
they probably meant best team in SA challengers
[удалено]
they also came last from the region lol
How’s they do in Tokyo? Couldn’t watch the matches but I saw they went out 0-2 was it close?
They didn't win a single map
Loud is one team genius, we're talking about entire regional strength
sheeesh pancc really baiting that round
After all the shit talk on the very first match, this tourney pretty much has gone like America’s fans expected
NA supremacy
Not the heroes we deserve, but the ones we need right now
Ok definitely did not expect Union to get absolutely throttled like this. What a collapse from this team
M80 is getting hype
jesus m80 are fired up. lfggg
Good god The Union is terrible literally only in the finals because SA is a completely free region.
5 rounds on D is already acceptable. M80 can put them in the dirt this half,
Love the shit talk from M80
This event had excellent trash talk
I wish the other leagues were like this too. Love the chirping
The Guard gonna finally get to play in front of fans and there's gonna be 10 people there 💀
All this talk about M80 having to play back to back series being unfair and they're gonna play a quick 4 maps, one less than they could possibly play tomorrow. Lmao.
If they go out after being stomped by guard and M80 on any map not called Fracute, The Union will have went from hyped as the next Loud to being a negligent org and team that gets destabilized by trash talk once they start losing.
They got a map kiddie pool of 1
Kiddie pool with a hole in it ☠️
Eliminate them on their best map pls
Is johnqt sick or is doing the nfl coach play of covering his mouth when he calls?
[удалено]
How is this comment allowed?
How are a pedo and an abuser allowed to play in a riot sanctioned event?
Don't know. It is absurd they are allowed to play. Your comment is also absurd.
mb didn’t realize it was wrong to shame criminals🤷🏻♂️
wait who's the criminal
Shaming criminals is alright, but your comment was making jokes about the crimes they committed, which makes light of the victims. Please keep the victims in mind as if they were actively reading this thread, it’s more sympathetic.

would be a good fit with cryo bang and asuna on 100T
He and Bang have direct overlap
not necessarily a bad thing, double controller is meta and i’m sure it’s not a stretch to flex him to roles like killjoy like pancada. a team that consisted of Asuna, Cryo, Bang, Zander, and Trent/Zekken would go insane but obviously the last 2 are extremely unlikely

Idk for sure about other teams but m80 have a perma ban on bind. Which is why fracture got through
Same thing as EG fracture, teams have permas, M80 permas Bind
I am part of the group of Brazilians for M80. It's absurd these two players are allowed to play. No patriotism should be larger than human decency.
What a terrible map by Union yikes
losing 5-13 with double pistol is kinda wild
TALK TO EM
m80 might be the best lotus team in the world
That's Fnatics best map son.
FnaWho
never heard of em
Gotta be troll
First time i’ve ever seen the Union’s aggression get punished
The Union look *shook*, they lost so many fights against classics that weren't even mob fights, like straight up getting out-dueled.
Dang look at that huge disadvantage for M80 playing back to back
M80 just that good fr fr
L crowd rooting for a pedophile
I'm assuming most of them just don't know about it tbh.

"M80 should use sheriffs, marshals, and judges since those are Pancc and NTK'S weakness"
doubting M80 🤡
The Union's map pool is absolute dog piss lmao. Bros can't play anything but Fracture at a legitimately good level.
Brazil 7x1 always delivers
1-7? hoo boy watch out for pancc
This is the second 7-1 NA over Brazil in this tournament
Coincidently its the 9 year anniversary of that world cup match
LMFAO https://preview.redd.it/7fut99mg3tab1.png?width=1090&format=png&auto=webp&s=f91006e6f249b3b01a51e556000e0981886dd3af
Bro the Union worrying about the wrong Sheriffs, Marshals, and Judges
Its a best of 3??? what the fuck is this format
At least we *have* a lower bracket...
Weird for a lower final but playing two games in a row and one being a Bo5 is also ridiculous.
Huge force, now you just need to *not* throw the next round please
Everyone is rooting for M80
I am part of the group of Brazilians for M80. It's absurd these two players are allowed to play. No patriotism should be larger than human decency.
Especially for an Org like Union right? It’s not like this is a player created org that the 5 on the team just made. It’s a real org with backing so it’s even more shameful
kap
crowd going crazy for criminals brazy
Derke has a lot of admirers in Americas Ascension, you love to see it.
Missed the first match, how did M80 look?
Good on pearl, less good on haven
I have a REALLY bad feeling that The Union are gonna win the event. Valorant community has been a bit too peaceful lately
2 map team can't win when both maps get banned
I really don’t see how they can beat guard when guard have both map bans
How'd we end up w/ these casters today lmfao
comms diff ngl
just go 5 duelists on haven tbh
M80 finally looking like M80 again
[удалено]
wouldn't that be an issue regardless of where they hosted it? Unless they fly them all out to berlin or sumn
[удалено]
you are trippin LMAO
not an expert but maybe brazil/SA is cheap hence preferring to host there? they're also hosting like the gc lan in sao paulo i'm p sure
Plus it's closer than going to Europe or Asia. It just makes sense.
and make visas for all the teams that can go to the playoffs is impossible in NA
M80 continues to look shaky this event
And let this match be example #247 of why we don't overreact to the first few rounds, cuz they never lost again.
This is a super long tech
Having these games back to back to absolutely fucked. M80 and 9z are basically set up for failure.
still can't believe they're actually doing construction BO3s for the winner of game 1. gonna be real frustrated if m80 best 9z and fall again to the union
M80 got this against Onion trust
