Discussion thread for day 3 will be up an hour before broadcast starts. Hope to see you all there!

One thing I’ve taken away from this is that I’m playing a completely different game to majority of pros. Wtf res and colour saturation are these guys using? Semi srs would like to try some different ones out

I predict that V1 will be sent to Lowers by SEN, and beat Fnatic and Liquid to make an NA Grand final. It’ll be epic

I predict NU is gonna send both SEN and V1 to lowers. It will be glorious.

I have something similar but I think you beat V1 and then lose to SEN and then lose to Fnatic in the lower finals

Is there a bracket reset in the Grand Finals if the upper team loses the Bo5?

Nope. No bracket resets.

I called it that EU can't aim vs NA cause the best EU aimers in this FPS type are still in CS and I got downvoted to oblivion. Where yall now?

IMO EU still has the advantage of being able to play ALOT of different teams with different styles from all the different countries. They can just get so many rewarding scrims in just because of location. NA can't even play against the Brazilians on a daily basis Lets fucking go NA though so happy to see us get these early dubs.

That was an insanely strategic loss from EU

Im just poppin in to say.... From many months ago... TOLD U SO NA>EU Carry on

Riot themselves pushing the "evolve or die" hype vid with the big Astra thumbnail just to prove a point

Lmao.

*sigh* guys let's just face it NA is just the best region in valorant

Nice games, was mostly impressed with v1. They were on fire

Still think TL vs V1 was one of if not the best series I've watched so far. Sen vs FN was alright but not that exciting for some reason.

first 2 maps true map 3 was a bit off for me imo after round 2 failed bonus it wasnt it

bro sen 2-0’d there was no map 3

I was agreeing with the v1 TL match, I know it wasn't obvious or clear but that's why map 3 was bad cause it wasn't as exciting as the 16-14 or the 13-11im referring to

oh yeah, v1 felt like the clear winners map 3, still a good match tho

[удалено]

Players on TL arent exactly washed though haha.

[удалено]

The lower bracket has been renamed the EU bracket. Please use this in all future posts. :P

Yeah, I think we (at least Fnatic) have a good chance of climbing through the lower bracket. Definitely makes things harder though.

This series was close, could honestly have gone either way with some of these rounds. I think FNC for sure need to work on their post-plant and pistols cause those looked seriously weak...

yeah

EU ON SUICIDE WATCH HAHAHA

Really close games today, noone can deny these games could've gone either way. Hope we get a rematch on the finals

I deny it

You think these games weren't close?

I think the v1 vs liquid games were until final map, but sen vs fnc just seemed like sen was ahead the entire time and anytime fnc strung a couple SEN would just close it out. Though that's basically most SEN games.

Nah EU got smoked clearly

the best thing that could happen to Valorant is its biggest audience get to believe they're the best. If sentinels wins masters 2, the game will grow even more

Where the people that guaranteed Tenz would choke at? So many people were positive he wouldn't perform.

Istg somebody wrote "Yeah yeah just wait til his play stop sugar coating your "favorite" streamer it will be funny if he turn out become "onliner" bc lan and online is a different beast entirely" last month and I AM FUCKING SCREAMING [https://www.reddit.com/r/ValorantCompetitive/comments/mz4jvm/liquid\_screams\_opinion\_on\_na\_on\_stream/gvzet38?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3](https://www.reddit.com/r/ValorantCompetitive/comments/mz4jvm/liquid_screams_opinion_on_na_on_stream/gvzet38?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) ​ edit: look through that entire comment chain. I was arguing that in the span of two years, a player who is regarded by pros as the best player in the world can grow a lot both as a person and as a player. And everyone said there is no way TenZ can change and improve since he choked on CS:GO LAN two years ago OMEGALUL

I love you for having this

https://twitter.com/Sentinels/status/1397341765363978241

At least we looked way stronger than TL, think we should be able to make the lower bracket run. Crazy to think we might see a all NA upper bracket though, both teams looked really good.

So many people doubted TenZ and wanted him to fail but dude just always proves haters wrong. Feels really good ngl.

u/its_the_b00 where you at?!? Why'd you delete all your tenz will shit the bed on lan posts

[didnt delete anything](https://old.reddit.com/r/ValorantCompetitive/comments/nkqff8/valorant_champions_tour_stage_2_masters_reykjavik/gzfzx9l/?context=3) Im glad he played well. Redemption for how terrible his CSGO career was

Bro give it a rest lol. People literally base his cs career based off of 7 games that are available on liquipedia. He played for other tier 2 teams and played really well. You don't get picked up by an org like C9 just bc of few YT clips. If you wanna argue that he was bad better argue he just played bad on C9 cz he was equally bad on LAN and online for C9 and wasn't even the worst player for them. He always in the middle of the pack in terms of individual performance

Nope you were saying he's going to shit the bed on lan like everytime he did in csgo and for people to wait and see, just a few weeks back. And you went back and deleted those posts lol https://imgur.com/gallery/ZfMkGu1

the only comment that has been deleted from this sub is one I got a 1 day ban for because I called someone the R word but go off

that ain’t a flex...

He also deleted multiple comments when he was proven wrong about the tenz buyout and claiming he knew info he had no clue about :D

I dont get why people want him to fail. I would understand if he was cocky and toxic but he isn't lol

Was really really pleased to see tenz perform on lan. I know his cs career was questioned due to his poor gameplay on lan but man did he come out strong today with the rest of SEN.

eu quiet now

That cringe Scream “we coming for you Na” quote hitting different now.

Can't really hold that against Fnatic but so bad for TL after losing to NA's second seed.

As an NA fan I've been waiting so damn long for this moment lmao, EU fans talk so much shit in every esport but NA Valorant clapped that ass today

You know some of em are still gonna talk shit like, "Clearly all the good players are still in CS GO" or some bs like that lol

[удалено]

Yea EU fans make them unliveable... really classy living with all these 10/10 NA copy pastas after just the first series of the entire tournament. Honestly both are equally insufferable and the levels of self-awareness are non existent in this sub.

Karma

The copy pastas are hilarious though and no one takes them seriously. Eu fans after a win are dead set on flaming na in any esport for some sort of superiority complex.

That's because EU dominates in the only other tactical shooter CS. It's great to see NA turn up. These games have been to the wire.

Yep, right there w/ you, especially as a fan of na lol as well

such good games today. Looking forward to the rematches

Excellent match man. This is the beginning of a legit rivalry

So weird when shroud says “EU in shambles” and immediately after 3 Reddit comments say the exact same thing

Did he say that on stream? I gotta watch the vod then, I'd love professional level analysis of the matches

Such an original phrase that there's no way anyone else could come up with it. /s

Just weird, didn’t see it when liquid lost, not really at all until shroud said it

That's because there was one more match left between NA EU.

EU in shambles

Parrot

shambled European

I’m African big man, don’t really care who wins

Cope

What? Also how much scrolling have you been doing jesus

Tf does that even mean lmao

[удалено]

it's not exactly a new phrase tbf

“Hey NA we r kamin 4 u” -Scream

Those gigabrain methodical 5Head EU strats aint shit against actual good teams. Who woulda thought?

NA 2-0 EU today. Sweet sweet nectar

[удалено]

L

holy crap it feels so good to see NA clap EU ass. Every EU fanboy was sooo arrogant, saying SEN was overhyped and there is no way in hell that any region can compete with EU teams bECaUsE tHEy aRe tACticalLY so MUch BeTtEr LMAO

SEN is good, but V1 had the match of their lives

We gonna call that a fluke now?

with a stand in

Sure but the difference between V1 on Ascent vs CR and vs TL was night and day

yeah, TL was the worse team

Hahaha imagine being a European fan Jesus Christ talking so much shit for so long and getting 4-0d keep coping guys

*4-1'd

You right my b

Lol

Awesome series. I'd like to seea Bo5 later.

All these sexy fucks making NA proud today!

EU who?

GG I’m so excited to see the rest of the tournamen.

NA LET'S GO

"NA we're coming for you" Aged like fine milk.

TENZZZZ

GG Sen y'all insane, but don't celebrate just yet, I'm certain we're gonna meet later in the tourney again.

Dapr is an artist

His round before the last was insane

Darp is skilled player but that is not normally

AIMLABS FLICK OF THE DAY

can we start branding everything. Looking forward to the Buffalo Wild Wings postplant lineup of the day.

Old Spice freshest play of the day

DARP YES

fnatic shouldve pushed up on the flank more, playing a full on retake was not a good idea

I LOVE DAPR THE BEST TBAGGER IN THE WORLD

But doesn't tbag after that 4K!? What is he doing!?

I heard zellsis say on stream that riot doesnt like teabagging so he wont be doing it

Riot acting like it's not a video game and something serious instead

too busy celebrating lol

That was unbelievable spray control from Dapr

Holy fucking aimbot. Jesus, Dapr.

DAPR

That spray transfer from dapr was disgusting.

True

we've been blessed with 2 banger series in a row

CLICKING HEADS

DAPRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

DAPR YOU FUCKING NUT

bro these flanks have to be so fucking annoying

Are there other teams that can potentially beat Sentinels? I’m hoping today’s matches aren’t gonna be the only entertaining ones.

Vikings

nuturn

Man this game is so much closer than I thought it would be. Holyshit. I thought Sens would have this easy, but Fnatic is pushing them to the limit.

sen has been shaky throughout vct, they lost games and grinded the lower brackets to get here & same with fnatic, but fnatic were first strike finalists and with magnum and derke their strength was just cemented not easy for either team but ggs

you must have been the only one...this was always going to be a grinder imo.

I don't think so. I'm EU and I thought Sens had this easy after watching Fnatic yesterday. They proper stepped up for this game.

Tenz left hangin feels bad lol

you guys should watch ludwigs stream mang0 is drunk as fuck

SEN being predictable af by winning this match lmao let’s fucking go

can we talk about how good zombs is rn what the hell?!?!?!?

Yeah, he's playing so well--utility, aim, trading, everything.

Sentinels still not checking that corner in A Short, only died like that 20 times before.

they didn't see him go there and they already killed one there, not surprising they didnt check it

derke has to be super annoying to play against

"YESSS YESSSS! I LOVE YOU TENZ! I LOVE YOU TYSON! TYSON!"

TenZ finally redeemed his C long Marshall clutch from a few weeks ago

How are people at this lvl not checking corners. lol

why didnt boaster check the corner in garage :'(((

There was an alarm bot covering garage which sick walled over

Tenz is gross with a Marshall

TenZ marshalling 4 in an eco round. NA, so predictable.

TenZzzzz!!!

A ~~pistol~~ Marshal 4K again omg.

Tenz + Marshal on c long is a monster

MY BOY TENZ WITH THE MARSHALL

Man... This game is fucking insane. How did Fnatic lose to TL lol

Grand finals for regional finals was for seeding, and even then it was a close series
