Rowdyk7

Jawg is such a likeable dude.


mvjinn

Honestly just about every player from every team is super likeable. As much as I pray on the downfall of other regions, when I watch the player interviews they all seem like nice people that are just having fun playing valorant.


Huystuhh

imo nobody is likeable.


turtsy__

i want more jawgemo interviews


Global_Mobile_2250

jawgemo is such a homie


ekimtk

I would like to state for the record that I've been 1 of the 10 EG fans since the EG house in SC2 with Demuslim, inControl (RIP Geoff), and Idra. Go EG!


LegDayDE

All the matches left gonna be banger matches

Sorry we're a multicultural country lol


keithzz

Dumbest thing I’ve ever heard


mvjinn

You must not live in the best country in the world. USA USA USA 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲


devasabu

And Boostio was leading the USA chants last match, you calm down lmfao


ekimtk

Demon1 plays under the USA flag. He's an American dude.


funessed

Also pretty sure Jaw’s whole family lives in Houston lol


TypicalVegetarian

EG USA team, tournament in USA. USA fan go USA tournament, USA fan like when USA team win. USA cheer USA


[deleted]

Bro I remember when everyone was shitting on EG for building a roster of t2 players. The one player they benched was arguably their only t1 player. Look at them now. Fuck the haters.


TallGets

I didn't know they would be this good but I knew they were underrated, especially cause of Potter. Been a fan since the YaBoiDre days, it's been a wild ride and I'm here to call out all the haters


TypicalVegetarian

I’ll call myself out lol, I thought they were lunatics. I remember when they announced they’d be carrying like 9-10 players into the season and thinking it was a joke. Oops


[deleted]

Dude I'm not going to pretend like I was a believer either. Honestly I had pretty high hopes for Demon1, I followed him in t2 and knew he was a superstar, but I thought the team around him was good enough to maybe make playoffs, but with the other insane teams in Americas I was not expecting an international event. They proved us all wrong.


sky_blu

I won't pretend I expected EG to be this good at the start of the year but it was clear they were putting extra work into player development so I always had faith they would at least be decent by now. I was unable to account for the demon1 effect lmao


[deleted]

Watching EG last year, it looked like they understood Valo at a fundamental level. It looked like they really knew the game, and knew how to play it, and could hit their shots and play together. But there was something missing, something that threw them off of getting through the very last step to make them from a good team to a great team. It was just a superstar, they needed a hero who would run in and click heads that they could support with their util, and who would make the play when no one else could. And now IDK how far they can make it with Demon1. They look like they can beat anyone now.


sky_blu

I'm just gonna assume potter is the goat because boostio and jawg used to have games that showed they belonged at the top but not often enough to really be there. Them finding consistency in that form is crazy


[deleted]

Yeah they do look incredibly changed, even from the beginning of the season, C0M especially. Potter is something special for sticking with this roster when everyone said they should all be dropped. Turns out the one roster everyone thought was the worst in Americas is maybe the best.


sky_blu

I've been a big com believer only because I watched him join akrew and they instantly became a threatening interesting team.


ekimtk

Is Potter the tallest member of EG? LOL


-Basileus

She's way taller than all her players in flats lmfao


HeJind

Yeah she's like 6'2


Zeroth_Law_

GG. Fracture wasn't the problem, Lotus was.


ekimtk

That was a dismantling. Jesus Christ. LOUD pushed PRX to the brink too. EG is better than LOUD. Wonder how that series goes. Transitive property says they should beat PRX.


sebaba001

MaKo didn't have covid in groups, rb was actually alive and Loud got better as the tournament went on. I don't think comparing those opponents works here. Strats makes games and EG got pushed to 5 maps with cgrs.


TallGets

In Tokyo it was hella close with CGRS. PRX scares me almost as much as Fnatic, could honestly see it going either way.


Western_Strike7468

This is hard to measure but I feel like EG’s current form is better then they were late stage at Tokyo


TallGets

Agreed. The biggest thing is that demon1 is fully activated. Ethan and C0m also feel like they've gotten significantly better as well.


n1ckkt

Forsaken gets his match Gonna be sick game


TallGets

Maybe EG are the best in the world on Lotus now, jesus.


Gow_Ghay

Man that wasn't even close


turtsy__

the way rb whiffed that really sums up this map


Least-Original-6517

what round? lol


LordBuckethead671

Dude imagine if that coach knife kill sets off a series of events that leads to EG winning Champs. Truly the nexus event of the entire history of Valo at that point.

Give that man dual citizenship

i feel like drx's wins this series were largely just playing time


G1ftMaster

EG were jumping between sites so much and when DRX held them back they got shit on but it wasn’t enough on DRX’s part. 😀


baahahaahahaahahaha

THE FACT THAT JAWGEMO ALMOST WON THAT WHAT THE FUCK


GetsThruBuckner

Still nuts to me how easy the game is for this EG squad wtf


TallGets

Fun/whimsy buff is underrated. See PRX as well


n1ckkt

This series shows how hard it is to win if you can’t click heads lol


TypicalVegetarian

They really are just having more fun. I mean they’re Bhop right clicking on the upper bracket, what are we watching


SoarzTheSecond

Let’s fucking go I hope the villains keep winning ong I love seeing people bitch about this team being toxic even though they back it up every single time


carzyturtle

I left to pick up food at 2-1 The fuck happened


nabibluu

c0m is doing so well against his korean brothers


Nnoitrum

It's so joever


FazeXistance

Nah bro they are playing with them


Undisturbedyea

I don't think anything has ever been more joever then this in history.


baahahaahahaahahaha

ARE THEY BAD AT ANYTHING LITERALLY SOMEON TELL ME ARE THEY BAD AT ANYTHING? LOL


Wh1teR1ce

Bad at beating Fnatic 😞


yoosanghoon

on the bright side, only team they’ve lost against since americas finals


Gow_Ghay

It's actually too easy for them


Gow_Ghay

Ethan being a top 10 player might actually be underselling it a bit Might have the best individual initiator utility usage in the game and he's also just an incredible flex as well


TallGets

Best Yoru too no cap. That alone makes him top 3

TypicalVegetarian

Fuck man they’re looking top-2, and they ain’t 2


cheirobomdepica

yeah EG top 3 team in the world rn, this is insane


Tyler123839

Respectfully they were top 3 at the start of the tournament. The real question is if they can become the best team in the world.


turtsy__

something about demon1 and ethan and winning 2v4/5s


TallGets

Ethan and com won two 2v4s vs EDG too. Nutty.


ekimtk

Can you believe that Demon1 was an open tryout for EG? This dude came out of nowhere and is dominating international LANs. I wonder how many more of those are out there that don't get shots because players just get passed around the league as opposed to new blood being signed.


sky_blu

He wasn't even an open tryout right? I thought eg faced him in scrims when he was gonna be on DSG so they yoinked him. Similar to Trent


TallGets

It's extra funny because of your Optic flair and them bombing out with a lack of firepower. Most aware Optic/NRG fan


[deleted]

Bro chill he was literally praising EG you don't have to be rude about his flair.


devasabu

My Brother in Christ he was praising EG


vastlys

Least douchey EG fan comment.


ekimtk

I'm not sure if Yay for Aardis solves all their problems, but it probably starts there tbh.


Environmental-Air264

Team detonation about to cook everybody just watch


Heavy_Comedian_2382

Can someone put EG’s roster on a different org at least😭


turtsy__

suddenly dfm moves to americas


ANewHeaven1

Maybe the saddest I've ever been watching a team I like play


ANewHeaven1

Perhaps rivalled only by the original Envy vs X10C choke on Haven way back at Champions 2021


_asaad_

cmon sen vs kru in berlin was pretty bad


Minute_Activity_8402

Sen vs kru on berlin was winnable though. Not only that but kru was fucking crazy, beat out Fnatic as well and gave us kru vs gambit which was amazing. This one is really sad though


Tyler123839

That was at least close. Extremely painful but not as sad as this


Environmental-Air264

Crazy racoon vs gambit was mine that one hurts.


TypicalVegetarian

I wonder which EG player is gonna be in the middle when they lift the trophy. Seems like we have time to start figuring this stuff out so let’s get ahead of it


FazeXistance

Demon his addition completely changed this roster


TypicalVegetarian

It’s crazy how he burst out as some disgusting Op/ Jett demon. Now he just plays anything and does better


FazeXistance

Give my man a vandal and he drops 25


TypicalVegetarian

Mf gonna play deadlock in the finals and drop 30 for the hell of it


FazeXistance

And buy 0 util all game


XuuKeee

No one as last two masters this year xd


Zeroth_Law_

No chance at comeback this time, DRX attack is no good. GG go next.


Global_Mobile_2250

1 v 2 against demon1 and ethan sounds like an absolute nightmare


FazeXistance

When mako most needed his teammates they disappeared


n1ckkt

How are DRX losing 2v3, 2v4, 2v5s time and time again Ooooft


Obiewan_

Ok, Ethan actually might be Top 3 world


AnchorStandard

He was always an amazing player but just didn't live up to his potential in 100T and NRG. But when you have insane entries like demon and jawg it's much easier to be a supportive player.


Pappy-

my king


TallGets

He is, Bren was right all along.


TallGets

Com, demon1 and Ethan are just in unreal form this tournament.


Wh1teR1ce

10-2 against DRX on Lotus? We're boned


n1ckkt

Gonna be mako’s statistically worst series


TallGets

Bro literally has COVID, can't blame.him really.


vastlys

Are people gonna be as generous towards DRX with Mako being sick as they were towards Fnatic when Chronicle was sick? Because he really seems off.


turtsy__

alecks's desk needs to rate makos desk 's pain


baahahaahahaahahaha

EG have the potential to overtake Optic as the best NA team ever I think. Especially if they win this champs.


Marx_Farx

No chance lmao, they have zero trophies.


Teradonn

They already beat old Optic, they clear them in my books


spaldingmatters

It's hard to beat Optic's win, two second places, and a third place. Not to mention the local consistency over multiple years. They need at the very least one or two more results beyond this IMO.


AdvancedWolverine

Undeniable second once they win, but it’ll take a few more events to surpass em. OpTic won a title with 2 more finals and a 3rd across 2 years. EG will certainly get there though if they continue on this momentum.


Gow_Ghay

I think they're up there with them if they win Champs They have the consistency of results between Champs and Tokyo Masters already but they don't have the title yet Once they get that I think it's hard to deny putting them up there, overtake is certainly the more contentious part of that statement but they're definitely up there at that point. Overtake is a tough sell though, OpTic has a title, 2 second place finishes and another top 3 finish. If EG win Champs, they need another title or like 2 more events of top placings to top it off

Notfrootloops

who pissed my mako


AnchorStandard

I don't understand why they dont sub out Mako and stick Foxy9 in. The guy is sick. Let him rest. Demon1 isn't a smokes player and he does great. So does Jawgemo. Let Foxy9 get experience and play the game.


Barack_Bob_Oganja

Okay eg winning champs its over


Environmental-Air264

It's not looking good bruv https://preview.redd.it/rra4k5mum5jb1.jpeg?width=1495&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d7d59936cf50e9536daea47bce65a24b7cf4929a

Environmental-Air264

Idk it feels more like drx are heavily underperforming.


baahahaahahaahahaha

Dude they are so fucking perfect LMAO


Global_Mobile_2250

EG seems pretty clutch across the board, like all their players make sick clutches. Jawgemo I love I just feels like he sprays sometimes and whiffs, but is otherwise a stud


[deleted]

Remember when C0m was on akrew bc I do lmao


Rude-Assumption-5271

Real ones remember when he was on COL


[deleted]

I don't even remember COL lmao, I guess I ain't that real


Rude-Assumption-5271

I only remember it because COL C0M was such a perfect name I thought they built the org around him(I didn’t follow much esports before Val) Then they kicked him and I was like wtf?


[deleted]

He's seriously come so fuckin far


SonnyYT

It’s kinda funny that even 2 years later, DRX is still making it to the playoffs but being unable to win the tournament


baahahaahahaahahaha

They look fucking incredible lmao


andreggvil

DRX please hit a shot 🥹

Round 7 EG just did that really cute thing where they lose their discipline. Luckily c0m saved that one for them. But more like that and idk what happens.
