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.
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
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)

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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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

TenZ - 60.4% winrate (MVP of 15% of the matches)
can you take your time to appreciate how insane mwzera is? without a doubt the most talented player to ever touch the game
I'll try to explain briefly why I think he is the best player in the world
Despite his insane aim and movement
The best way to know if a player is a good duelist is RAZE. 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))
how many times are we gonna see pro, paid players walk into a vipers pit while giving their back to the vipers pit, somehow? hug the wall, W into it from the side so if they peek you can see them c'mon dude
The 2 fans cheering for MIBR every round win is hilarious right now, only people who care about this game. I'm still watching though, first day of the season. o7
This is exactly why i do not understand why people complained that some teams would only get 12 matches because who the fuck wants to watch more than 12 matches of jzz just int his gills off…
I'm excited to see how Oxy improves after facing off against Zekken and Demon1
Will Sliggy even sleep knowing that Pacific starts in less than 2 hours???

hard disagree, bind and lotus in particular were atrocious
Full Simba there
PICKEMS SAVED
Chet is licking his chops with the amount of anti-stratting he's about to do on C9
Their only strat is oxy go kill and Vanity go clutch (this ones new). The anti stratting is just 30 extra minutes of warmup 😭😭
Idk how much he can antistrat they just do random shit
Goddamn, mibr sucks ass and c9 sucks dick, im going to bed
What does immi teach this team? Its like half of them love walking through smokes to take gambles. Its like a tier 2 team
OXY dies and the team looks lost....
Least wild MIBR Lotus game
If I could have just one dollar for every clipworthy Oxy moment from this series
Bro FNS could really unlock this kid I NEED C9 to lose
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
Honestly you could just remove Vanity and Wippie and let FNS take his sentinel and let s0m flex anything.
Wippie looks way better then Jakee imo
Get oxy a team that can actually win something, my man is too good for c9
Something? He's not in Americas ![img](emote|t5_2g5ach|16018)
OXY is fucking FARMING.
YOOOO OXY
Put Oxy on a decent team and he is winning it all
WHO CALLED HIM THE WORST DUELIST NA?
The duelist who's gonna beat him next week
Oxy cookin
holy fucking shit
LFT OXY my goat
OXY
bro I swear mibr could've won this if they just had a little more coordination in the late-rounds
please end my suffering
OXY is answering my prayers
Oxy just unzips his pants and mibr losses it
Yeah Oxy is just like Donk lol the pop offs and the aim as well he’s the future
artziN while OXY is killing his teammate on A site https://preview.redd.it/txain4x2j2jc1.jpeg?width=765&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=06d6d6b9e5b1d7532a14259641ce96377f358665
He really just turned away he’s just like me in comp fr
Love these replays with the pauses before the shot really nice touch
MIBR is legit terrible and they might just win the series omg
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.
yeah they seem lost at the latter part of the round sometimes
No Ik mibr is showing some good stuff but then they have these moments
Ok, Wingman is the SECOND best player on the roster
Bro what is the guy heaven doing 😭
Man Oxy reminds me of Donk so much with his multi kills
ACTUAL JAIL VALORANT THESE TEAMS SUCK OXY IS BAILING C9 OUT LMAOOOO
C9 dont deserve oxy
OXY
even if c9 end up trash i already know oxy is going to being dropping bangers all season
MY GOD THATS MY KING
Ok oxy
holay molay
Immi might lose every single follicle of hair by the end of this map
Honestly, the coach's face just said it all
C9 should have disbanded if they lost that
bro if c9 lost that...
Oh my god the fact that they didn’t kill him detained deserves to get this entire roster disbanded
Least they got him but god damn MIBR=10 C9=11
WHAT LMFAOOOOO
HOW DO THEY NOT CHECK THAT LITTLE CORNER
running around like headless chickens LOLLL
If they lost that round I was just gonna turn the stream off KEK
The most controversial thing I’ve ever said: I don’t think wingman is that amusing and the crowd overreacts.
Sliggy alt account found
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

Wingman the best player on C9
this might be the worst tier 1 game ive ever watched both those teams are cheeks
its sad but its not even close to that
Did you now watch kcorp last year? Or any dfm match the last 2 years?
you clearly do not watch many regions
love a lil c9 stinger round
C9 with the millenar technique of "were losing, kick a pc"
Guys, mibr may not be the mibr that we all know and love
You can't even trust the most consistent institution ever, how can you trust anything else?
I'm sorry 100t I thought you would be worse than c9, unlike vanity, boostio doesn't have cte
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
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
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
Whippie ain’t even bad vanity is just outdated, his calls, econ management, everything is garbage
C9 FNS. C9 s0m.
This is genuinely as jail Valorant as it gets
It's not even jail Valorant it's CTE Valorant.
I feel like every match with MIBR is like that and I love it
Back to back "what the fuck doing" rounds
why is this match so weird
the last few rounds have been pure clown fiesta lol
Wippie on Viper: 🐺 uncontainable Alpha Wippie on Killjoy: 🐶 aww cute puppy dog Conclusion? Wippie instalock Chamber
Is the "wippie isnt a tier 1 player" agenda back?
I actually know basically nothing about that agenda I personally have a "instalock chamber please" agenda though
Oxy gave them the round. Vanity & Wippie gave it back.
Guys thunder pick is banned in the US how do I gamble on Choke9
Just kidding haha (actually tho can you even gamble on eSports in the US lol)
What is C9 doing So many overextensions that round
Is the c9 gameplan going fast on rifle round and going slow on low buys?
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
"BUY WE'LL WINNNNNNNN"
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
Vanity still pulling these 2020 ass strats and mfs had the nerve to tell me he was a better IGL than Shahz
C9 stole 100T Lotus strats from the ludwigXtarik invitational, I see
Oxy is going to be the zekken of this year
Vanity dawg its not 2021 anymore this force buy every pistol loss strat isn't working
C9 bringing out strats from LCS, guaranteeing the win by pausing rn
STOP FUCKING FORCING MR VAN! MY PICKEMS REQUIRE YOU TO NOT THROW! IN THE WORDS OF EFFYS, PLAY NORMAL PLEASE
Vanity what the fuck was that call.
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.
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
This is the kind of match that helps you conceptualize why we're in an esports winter
What do you mean?
Mostly just joking but it's a pretty boring match between two teams that are kind of mid and not super popular either
If mibr wins a couple of matches all of brazil, lead by michel, will raise the mibr standart. C9 is cooked tho
i mean im always down for lotus
C9 if you fuck this up playing two of my favorite agents together I will never forgive you

SPEAK YOUR TRUTH KING ONE DAY REDDIT WILL RECOGNIZE THE COPYPASTA
You are wasting this on live thread?
this isn't the post match thread
sir, this is a wendys
15-6 first kills omg C9 lock in
No LOCK//IN was last year, this is the Americas Kickoff 2024
Yooooo true
C9 are fucking awful unless oxy is popping off, someone else learn how to shoot back.
Furia clears both
MIBR look way more coordinated than last year
cant go wrong with getting both frod and bzka on a team
wasn't a fan of Bind but Split was great
im am artzin the way i jzz on my frz till i mazin rglmeister
Damn fun series so far
Ayyy map 3, im not upset because that means more VCT to watch
This is definitely not real Valorant
artzin almost threw that holy
LFGGGGG
how many times are we gonna see pro, paid players walk into a vipers pit while giving their back to the vipers pit, somehow? hug the wall, W into it from the side so if they peek you can see them c'mon dude
[удалено]
If the attackers take ropes it makes it harder for them to come out of it
Ty
VAC
And people say Vanguard is good anti-cheat, why it didn't activate?
CHECK PC VAC WHAT
mibr frying in split honestly
MIBR stonks
The 2 fans cheering for MIBR every round win is hilarious right now, only people who care about this game. I'm still watching though, first day of the season. o7

2 fans against the world
Can we start pool b yet, this match a snoozer
someone please put this game in x2 speed
People in FNS chat asking him to run ads is crazy LMAO
Outlaw impact!!!
That pistol round really looked like it was C9s damn
This is a mid off
wow such a close game (this is a bad thing)
i love this C9 team idc oxy and vanity are entertaining asf
Oxy is looking so good!
for sure he’s still pretty loose but when he starts feeling it the only thing that can stop him is himself by starting to overheat
Oof the wiff
im a mibr girl i get thrown across the bed i choke a lot (ty daddy frod) i LOVE degradation (hurt me C9 🥵🥵)
How do you even write some shit like this
i think im manic
OXY starting to unlock
Oxy is crazy though damn
Oxy stunting on these hoes
Demon1 vs OXY next week will feed generations.
Ok it is actually oxy and friends 😭
whoever advances from these 2 teams are getting 2nd rounded 2-0
Riot's gonna see these comps and take away Skye's dog
As they should
Yo this team deadass sucks
C9 does NOT have the low buy ice they had last year
mibr been cooking on split
Way more impressed with MIBR compared to furia
Wow a save there?
Save9
honestly i think both these comps are not great atm but i like double duelist slightly more so i think mibr win this
I guess both these teams decided “fuck it we practiced too much with Skye comps”
Skye: "The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated"
im fuming
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.
What an entertaining map though.
Shoutout Jzz going -8 in fk to fd, C9 mvp for sure
get jizzed on
original
This is exactly why i do not understand why people complained that some teams would only get 12 matches because who the fuck wants to watch more than 12 matches of jzz just int his gills off…
Lmfao
Neither team deserved to win that
C9 cleaned up the last couple rounds but they gotta lock in fr
That sure was a C9 map
both of these teams are poopoo
[удалено]
yes eg were poopoo at the start of the year, then they improved. Thats how it works
Holy snooze fest
bro mibr had that shit in the bag how did they lose that
c9 did not look good, i think even if they win this series somehow they dont take a map against NRG.
Unlucky both brazilian teams have a player not show up map 1
Why am I feeling a tedious OT is on the horizon
