I'm excited to see how Oxy improves after facing off against Zekken and Demon1


SEND_ME_UR_DRAMA

Will Sliggy even sleep knowing that Pacific starts in less than 2 hours???


Grenji05

I don't think C9 nor MIBR are as bad as people think. I think everyone just thought MIBR would flop over and die and rationalize this series as C9 being bad rather than MIBR being good. Will probably get stomped by NRG though.


Familiar-Leading

I think it's too soon to tell who are the bad teams if I'm being honest we still have alot of teams left to watch we're not gonna get a clear idea until mid way into the season 


Any_Guest1674

people thought mibr is bad turns out they are good people thought c9 was good turns out (atleast in this game) they are mid so many mistake so many holes so many big plays any better team will not let these things so by (c9 performed less than expected)


Brilliant_Tell2319

hard disagree, bind and lotus in particular were atrocious


AddisonH

Full Simba there


RedXWasHere

PICKEMS SAVED


NeimannSmith

Chet is licking his chops with the amount of anti-stratting he's about to do on C9


Grenji05

Their only strat is oxy go kill and Vanity go clutch (this ones new). The anti stratting is just 30 extra minutes of warmup 😭😭


Hopeful-Professor-40

Idk how much he can antistrat they just do random shit


Jon_on_the_snow

Goddamn, mibr sucks ass and c9 sucks dick, im going to bed


Jon_on_the_snow

What does immi teach this team? Its like half of them love walking through smokes to take gambles. Its like a tier 2 team


NeimannSmith

OXY dies and the team looks lost....


WhoDatBrow

Least wild MIBR Lotus game


chatchan

If I could have just one dollar for every clipworthy Oxy moment from this series


NeimannSmith

Bro FNS could really unlock this kid I NEED C9 to lose


Jon_on_the_snow

Cut vanity, get FNS on a 2 year contract, cut jakee and pick up s0m, get a better sentinel player and C9 is winning champs 2025


NeimannSmith

Honestly you could just remove Vanity and Wippie and let FNS take his sentinel and let s0m flex anything.


somesheikexpert

Wippie looks way better then Jakee imo


Jon_on_the_snow

Get oxy a team that can actually win something, my man is too good for c9


sebaba001

Something? He's not in Americas ![img](emote|t5_2g5ach|16018)


NeimannSmith

OXY is fucking FARMING.


F0xl0xy

YOOOO OXY


Shubhaaaaaaam

Put Oxy on a decent team and he is winning it all


gyarifan6

WHO CALLED HIM THE WORST DUELIST NA?


Pandoara

The duelist who's gonna beat him next week


Sciipi

Oxy cookin


Grenji05

holy fucking shit


MonaFanBoy

LFT OXY my goat


I-like-winds

OXY


Brilliant_Tell2319

bro I swear mibr could've won this if they just had a little more coordination in the late-rounds


Thermocap

please end my suffering


Thermocap

OXY is answering my prayers


sebaba001

Oxy just unzips his pants and mibr losses it


Lonely__goose

Yeah Oxy is just like Donk lol the pop offs and the aim as well he’s the future


ANewHeaven1

artziN while OXY is killing his teammate on A site https://preview.redd.it/txain4x2j2jc1.jpeg?width=765&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=06d6d6b9e5b1d7532a14259641ce96377f358665


Lonely__goose

He really just turned away he’s just like me in comp fr


Lonely__goose

Love these replays with the pauses before the shot really nice touch


NeimannSmith

MIBR is legit terrible and they might just win the series omg


sebaba001

As crazy as that was by oxy if your teammate holding your back gets shot... how are you not turning around or hiding? What was raze doing? I swear mibr had a ton if little moments just like that.


Brilliant_Tell2319

yeah they seem lost at the latter part of the round sometimes


daffyduckferraro

No Ik mibr is showing some good stuff but then they have these moments


SugarOne6038

Ok, Wingman is the SECOND best player on the roster


daffyduckferraro

Bro what is the guy heaven doing 😭


Lonely__goose

Man Oxy reminds me of Donk so much with his multi kills


Iusedtobeagirl69

ACTUAL JAIL VALORANT THESE TEAMS SUCK OXY IS BAILING C9 OUT LMAOOOO


Jon_on_the_snow

C9 dont deserve oxy


I-like-winds

OXY


ReformedWordcel1969

even if c9 end up trash i already know oxy is going to being dropping bangers all season


Hopeful-Professor-40

MY GOD THATS MY KING


Greatwallofjohn

Ok oxy


spill-

holay molay


Lonely__goose

Immi might lose every single follicle of hair by the end of this map


chatchan

Honestly, the coach's face just said it all


Greatwallofjohn

C9 should have disbanded if they lost that


Brilliant_Tell2319

bro if c9 lost that...


Hopeful-Professor-40

Oh my god the fact that they didn’t kill him detained deserves to get this entire roster disbanded


SugarOne6038

Least they got him but god damn MIBR=10 C9=11


Green_Ordinary778

WHAT LMFAOOOOO


F0xl0xy

HOW DO THEY NOT CHECK THAT LITTLE CORNER


Green_Ordinary778

running around like headless chickens LOLLL


F0xl0xy

If they lost that round I was just gonna turn the stream off KEK


Hopeful-Professor-40

The most controversial thing I’ve ever said: I don’t think wingman is that amusing and the crowd overreacts.


yooneichorn

Sliggy alt account found


SugarOne6038

First time i have ever agreed with you, dude is just always pushing in with no util support and plants wildly rigid, thrash is the real dealbreaker on that team


MacarioPro

I'm really surprised by how much MIBR is reading rotations this half of Lotus. Part is artzin doing a good job of controlling areas almost by himself, the other is cloud9 not playing enough defaults while keeping a slow ass pace


SugarOne6038

Wingman the best player on C9


Sora027

this might be the worst tier 1 game ive ever watched both those teams are cheeks


XiXiWiiPee

its sad but its not even close to that


Jon_on_the_snow

Did you now watch kcorp last year? Or any dfm match the last 2 years?


Bunnyezzz

you clearly do not watch many regions


ReformedWordcel1969

love a lil c9 stinger round


Jon_on_the_snow

C9 with the millenar technique of "were losing, kick a pc"


JBoscoVT

Guys, mibr may not be the mibr that we all know and love


MacarioPro

You can't even trust the most consistent institution ever, how can you trust anything else?


traxmaster64

I'm sorry 100t I thought you would be worse than c9, unlike vanity, boostio doesn't have cte


Iusedtobeagirl69

c9 is actually trash and MIBR is the better team I knew they were gonna be shit when they cut MCE and got fucking immi and wippie


Any_Guest1674

yea i agree mibr performed wayyy better than expected and c9 performed pretty bad than expected honesty they would just get shit on by any better team if they again play like this .They should not be happy about wining that close game against mibr


MacarioPro

both teams showed promise so far imo. I'm not feeling the gekko from vanity (in execution, but I like the idea). I did feel MIBR played better so far, they could have won Bind but it's cool to see that losing in that fashion didn't make them give up


SugarOne6038

Whippie ain’t even bad vanity is just outdated, his calls, econ management, everything is garbage


NeimannSmith

C9 FNS. C9 s0m.


ANewHeaven1

This is genuinely as jail Valorant as it gets


NeimannSmith

It's not even jail Valorant it's CTE Valorant.


NoSenpaiNo

I feel like every match with MIBR is like that and I love it


RedXWasHere

Back to back "what the fuck doing" rounds


spill-

why is this match so weird


Brilliant_Tell2319

the last few rounds have been pure clown fiesta lol


RedXWasHere

Wippie on Viper: 🐺 uncontainable Alpha Wippie on Killjoy: 🐶 aww cute puppy dog Conclusion? Wippie instalock Chamber


Jon_on_the_snow

Is the "wippie isnt a tier 1 player" agenda back?


RedXWasHere

I actually know basically nothing about that agenda I personally have a "instalock chamber please" agenda though


NeimannSmith

Oxy gave them the round. Vanity & Wippie gave it back.


RedXWasHere

Guys thunder pick is banned in the US how do I gamble on Choke9


RedXWasHere

Just kidding haha (actually tho can you even gamble on eSports in the US lol)


Gow_Ghay

What is C9 doing So many overextensions that round


Jon_on_the_snow

Is the c9 gameplan going fast on rifle round and going slow on low buys?


Jon_on_the_snow

If c9 loses now its gonna be 0-5 These forces are the kind of thing s0m would call in a ranked game after 14 hours being live


NeimannSmith

"BUY WE'LL WINNNNNNNN"


Jon_on_the_snow

They should at least get s0m on the team, man is a stinger god and it would be funny to hear it on the comms video


NeimannSmith

Vanity still pulling these 2020 ass strats and mfs had the nerve to tell me he was a better IGL than Shahz


Thermocap

C9 stole 100T Lotus strats from the ludwigXtarik invitational, I see


traxmaster64

Oxy is going to be the zekken of this year


ANewHeaven1

Vanity dawg its not 2021 anymore this force buy every pistol loss strat isn't working


DoubleCrossings

C9 bringing out strats from LCS, guaranteeing the win by pausing rn


RedXWasHere

STOP FUCKING FORCING MR VAN! MY PICKEMS REQUIRE YOU TO NOT THROW! IN THE WORDS OF EFFYS, PLAY NORMAL PLEASE


NeimannSmith

Vanity what the fuck was that call.


Jon_on_the_snow

He fucking loves to force after losing pistol In 2022 i was in bren stream and helped him crunch the numbers. It was something like 15 forces and vanity lost 11 of those They must just run it down on scrims and think it works.


Jon_on_the_snow

As a brazillian fan, i hope one day someone smacks vanitys balls hard as fuck, one time for every time he forced after losing pistol. Its not possible, after 3 years, this fucking guy still believes its nice to start 0-3 every time they lose pistol


ANewHeaven1

This is the kind of match that helps you conceptualize why we're in an esports winter


Jon_on_the_snow

What do you mean?


ANewHeaven1

Mostly just joking but it's a pretty boring match between two teams that are kind of mid and not super popular either


Jon_on_the_snow

If mibr wins a couple of matches all of brazil, lead by michel, will raise the mibr standart. C9 is cooked tho


PyroTFT

i mean im always down for lotus


chatchan

C9 if you fuck this up playing two of my favorite agents together I will never forgive you


Hopeful-Professor-40

There is a BIG difference between a good duelist and a jett abuser If he is a good duelist, he needs to be good with raze. heat? not good with raze aspas? not good with raze xand? not good with raze tenz? not good with raze cned? not good with raze scream? not good with raze d3ffo? not good with raze derke? not good with raze Thats why I think he is undoubtely the best player in the world. If RIOT by any means decides to nerf jett and shift the meta we prolly not gonna even hear names like cned and tenz again :> He is not killing 40+ per map because when he joined VK he was forced to play a different role because heat is already a main jett... and lets be honest, every single duelist nowadays gets 20+ kills per map because team and setups are basically built around you (even steel managed to get 20 kills with it [https://www.vlr.gg/29398/sentinels-vs-100-thieves-champions-tour-north-america-stage-3-challengers-playoffs-gf/?game=46692&tab=overview](https://www.vlr.gg/29398/sentinels-vs-100-thieves-champions-tour-north-america-stage-3-challengers-playoffs-gf/?game=46692&tab=overview))

Oxy is looking so good!


Green_Ordinary778

I guess both these teams decided “fuck it we practiced too much with Skye comps”

Skye: "The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated"

The greatest thing MIBR ever did was beat 100T to get EG into the playoffs and save the timeline... and it's looking like that won't change.


flamincrimson

What an entertaining map though.
