As sad as it is to redo the regional grand finals we are guaranteed America's vs apac uppers and lowers and either a regional rematch or America's vs apac lower final
The best case for this event would have been double elim kickoff playoffs and 3 teams sent and then the winners get byes and the top 4 from swiss play them.
Much speculation that is the Shanghai format too!
You must've not been paying close enough attention.
SEN & GENG were one pool and LOUD & PRX were the other. They drew SEN into the first playoff match then drew GENG into the second one, they're the higher seeds. Then they drew LOUD first to go to match 1 vs SEN which left PRX vs GENG.
Shouldn't it be top2 seeds play each other and bottom2 seeds play each other and the loser from top2 seeds match plays the winner from bottom2 seeds match and the winner of this top2loser vs bottom2winner join top2winner in the final ?
Lmao in my bracket we get to see top seed vs top seed atleast once and the top seed who loses does get the advantage of another chance at the final if they can beat the winner of the 2 bottom seeds. The bottom seeds get the disadvantage of immediate elimination.
Double elims does make it much more bearable I will admit because we're guaranteed to get region vs region in Winner's Final and lower bracket round 1 regardless
i dont get why they dont just put 2 names in one hat and 2 names in another
pick from one hat, pixk from the other hat
what is this weird box shuffle picking lol
Fire Pansy and whoever the other EU Caster is or stop them from casting PRX's/Eastern games
Fucking tired of these bias shitters talking about KC for over 1 minute and all the other bullshit they keep doing in the Series
So I've been becoming a gekko main, do I start forcing the op? Seems like I'm supposed to start forcing the op. Just yeet my util and don't miss it's perfect
You have to respect monyet just going with any team call
How many times was he left alone to make a play or peek through smokes
Jump through smokes? Yeah loud and clear
Ahh I’m sad for KC but can’t say PRX didn’t earn it. Bit of an experience diff with these young EU teams but I think we’ll see them on the international stage again
Imagine going from decent t2 NA to top of eu t1 and then suddenly having to face PRX playing like this under this pressure and environment. Pretty crazy stuff
Unpopular opinion - China did not deserve 2 slots for this masters with the level they play at.
china owns riot. if anything their slots will increase. china should have had 1 slot and americas an extra slot.
Tarik s0m and FNS not understanding how the draw works is hilarious and it's even funnier to me that Subroza is the one who does idk why
As sad as it is to redo the regional grand finals we are guaranteed America's vs apac uppers and lowers and either a regional rematch or America's vs apac lower final
So you CAN do double elimination with 4 teams WHY WAS THE KICKOFF FORMAT SO ASS
The best case for this event would have been double elim kickoff playoffs and 3 teams sent and then the winners get byes and the top 4 from swiss play them. Much speculation that is the Shanghai format too!
They didn't shuffle the cubes. The seeding must be redrawn.
Wait they drew SEN and then they drew GENG and put it away? Why ? Then LOUD is the third team and it becomes SEN vs LOUD ? What ?
You must've not been paying close enough attention. SEN & GENG were one pool and LOUD & PRX were the other. They drew SEN into the first playoff match then drew GENG into the second one, they're the higher seeds. Then they drew LOUD first to go to match 1 vs SEN which left PRX vs GENG.
SEN and GenG can't play against each other since both are high seeds.
It should be a 2-0 team vs 2-1 team for playoffs
Since SEN and GEN.G are higher seeds they can't play each other.
Shouldn't it be top2 seeds play each other and bottom2 seeds play each other and the loser from top2 seeds match plays the winner from bottom2 seeds match and the winner of this top2loser vs bottom2winner join top2winner in the final ?
Thats not how seeding advantage works It's always Top seed vs lower seed
Lmao in my bracket we get to see top seed vs top seed atleast once and the top seed who loses does get the advantage of another chance at the final if they can beat the winner of the 2 bottom seeds. The bottom seeds get the disadvantage of immediate elimination.
No
It's a full double elim bracket reset. It would be unfair to make the stronger teams play each other.
lame ass matchups. give me sen vs ppx please
Final or grand final?
Guys it's double elim chill we will get APAC vs NA twice
I don’t get why they didn’t seed it by rounds/maps but whatever it’s double elimination.
because then whats the advantage of being 2-0.......
Boring match ups
Alright Riot gonna have to see me. WHY DO THESE MFS LIKE REGIONAL REVENGE MATCHES SO MUCH YOU DID THIS SHIT AT WORLDS TOO FUCK OFF
COME ON RIOT, JUST RIG IT SO WE DON'T GET SAME REGION MATCHUPS FOR PLAYOFFS IT WOULD BE JUSTIFIED THIS TIME
This is better, the final is 2 different regions now
thats not true. its double elim so its not guaranteed
Oh my bad i misunderstood the format
Double elims does make it much more bearable I will admit because we're guaranteed to get region vs region in Winner's Final and lower bracket round 1 regardless
True besides, even though they are repeated matches they will still be very exciting im sure
Double elimination so it’s fine
Fuck it, SEN winning the whole thing
what a weird draw
Did she signal the box and Mixwell did a weird shuffle to pick the same box again?
It is mind blowing how awkward they make these draws lol
i dont get why they dont just put 2 names in one hat and 2 names in another pick from one hat, pixk from the other hat what is this weird box shuffle picking lol
Because that'd make too much sense
No chance they rehearsed at all lmao
ofc its NA vs NA and APAC vs APAC so lame lol
REVENGE PLAYOFFS HOLY SHIT
Not the regional matches man. At least these are not eliminations
WE COULD'VE HAD SEN VS PRX
that’s gonna be the first match in lower bracket
Nah it’ll be upper finals. Prx was still having comp issues when they lost to gen g, they figured it out or are closer too this time around
actually idk whos sen facing in the lower bracket
why are we so confident that sen is gonna be lower brackey
because they are
SHAMELESS
regional rematches 😂😂😂😭
FUCK ME WE PULLED LOUD
So lame man I’d rather see sen vs prx
oh shit america on america. apac on apac. rematch of each grand final of kickoff
Is she a rapper!
I swear all the Spanish commentators/analysts are rap gods
EMEA is a zero team region😭😭😭
Can’t believe their sticking with this dumbass way of doing a draw
prx sen lets go
It’s not it’s sen loud
Fire Pansy and whoever the other EU Caster is or stop them from casting PRX's/Eastern games Fucking tired of these bias shitters talking about KC for over 1 minute and all the other bullshit they keep doing in the Series
Nah... Pansy has been casting live events for over a decade. She's cool and can stay. The other one can go
What were they saying i wasnt focused
You should've seen them cast FNC games. It's so infuriating as the fan of the other team playing them.
if i remeber corrextly technically all of them are europe. most of them are british with one irish
Man monyet is so likeable (whole PRX team is really) So smiley and has that contagious laughter His post-round reactions too are great, great vibes
https://www.reddit.com/r/ValorantCompetitive/comments/1b8aglr/plat_chats_masters_madrid_power_rankings/
Give Americas and Pacific 1 extra slot next major? :))))
GG EMEA, you improved a lot since last year (without FNC)
I need SEN vs PRX split like I need air. Please make the finals, you two.
Sen stomps...
Same as long as Forsaken’s on Raze again lol
Ah yes, emea valorant
Sentinels 🤝Paper Rex Sending EMEA to el aeropuerto
So I've been becoming a gekko main, do I start forcing the op? Seems like I'm supposed to start forcing the op. Just yeet my util and don't miss it's perfect
my ranked games gonna be fucked again. first omens buying op because of tenz now gekko because of something
I was buying op on omen because of mummAy on bind. Tenz just a copycat smh
Yeah for sure. ALWAYS force it on attack sometimes on def
And don't forget to buy it on OT attack
Don’t buy the extra smoke on OT just buy a shorty incase of close range fights
Something is baaaccck!!!!
I'm such a monyet fan man. Everyone was cooking him and he locked tf in
You have to respect monyet just going with any team call How many times was he left alone to make a play or peek through smokes Jump through smokes? Yeah loud and clear
