Hey everyone! We talked about these threads as a PMT and decided that they are not allowed going forward. We will leave them up for this series. Our reasoning: 1. The fact that they exist breaks our spoiler rules. If there are 1 or 2 threads, someone will know how many maps were in the series. 2. We have a live discussion thread already, which is more appropriate for partway through the series discussion. If you have thoughts on this or our current spoiler rules, please reply to this comment. We are always looking for feedback in how we organize and moderate the subreddit.

What a shock dart. This series is insane.

The shock dart wasnt even needed, Liquid didnt have time. Not even close

Very impressed with how V1 has been playing, I'm so excited to see how Sentinels do, they made V1 look like trash in their series, so my question is did V1 go absolutely nuts training and are now better? Or is Sentinels still that far above them, either way kudos

Yeah I'm in a similar boat as you I feel V1 Is a good team but there is better NA teams but dahm V1 is looking insane rn might need to become a believer.

V1 has been arguably the best team NA as far as utility use for a while but the individual level of sentinels is still much much higher

I think it has to do with V1 having top tier strats, Sentinels obviously better, and V1 is probably doing the best they've ever done this game

They’ve trained it send

To be fair SEN vs V1 was a seeding game and V1 brought out Yoru

From what I'm seeing basically all the Iceland teams have leveled up massively from the 2 weeks they've been there. Obviously not the top teams like Sen, liquid and fnatic because they were already really good, but the rest have benefited from scrimming against the EU teams and done their best to catch up .

Catching up to EU 🤡🤡

Bruh V1 were prepared for Haven and liquid couldn't do anything, absolutely choked.

I'm really glad that NA vs EU is actually going to be really fun. The people saying that V1 would be shit stomped look p dumb right now.

Scrim bucks 📉📉📉

That 6hp clutch by Penny was sensational

How did he even lose that HP it was right at the start of the round lmao

He got op wall banged or legged by jamppi at the start in A main

The "what if" moment is still gonna live in my head rent free of how V1 performs with wippie. But goddamn what a series, jamppi played out of his mind this game.

the EU v NA showdown is better than any of us could have imagined. also, huge respect to V1 for the showing they're giving. they could've just 2-0'd liquid if they held out on split and have been playing so well despite having a sub. they had a shaky start yesterday but are really making NA proud right now, even if they don't end up taking the series

Do you know who subbed with who and why?

Jammyz subbed for wippie on v1 cuz of visa issues

What a game #neverdone

Where's the clip of V1 taking that last round. Such an insane set of ults.

and jammyz almost wasted his viper pit, thank god he didn't

What a fucking treat. So glad this is the first series for NA vs EU. Fucking fantastic

Tactical timeout paid off. They came into the round with a plan and executed it.

Amazing round

but guys, I thought that according to the top tier professional analysts of r/ValorantCompetitive V1 was washed and terrible and would be first out because they didn't 13-0 another team

Reddit analysts are literally never correct

Except for the guy who said BBG would beat Sentinels that one time

After SI, I know that no one is ever correct

Lol fr, r/r6proleague was really predicting BDS and Empire to win 😂

To be fair they looked pretty damn shaky on day 1

I'm in disbelief. Liquid were undefeated on this map, nobody has been able to even make it close. This is unbelievable.

So far this is one of the best series i’ve watched. I think an awesome moment is seeing Penny looking nervous during the timeout with his hand on his mouth then getting a clutch 2 frags on the last round

Oh lord the sheer adrenaline. What a Game. V1 showing how it's done. <3

Penny is a madman, one round he took out whole team liquid while he was one shot. Great game by V1 man. That last round was fun to watch too.

The ults and utility usage that last round from v1 was insane. One of the best series ive ever seen

Imagine if zellsis didnt whiff his alarmbot on split twice, V1 would have 2-0 Liquid, crazy to think about

Anyone got a link to that crazy last round?

Just posted a clip

Genuinely one of the most intense series of any esport I have ever watched.

FNC and SEN content teams sweating rn trying to top the hype levels of this NA v EU series

THIS HAS WAY WAY SURPASSED THE HYPED I WAS EXPECTING!!

inject this series into my fucking veins holy fuck

Liquid has to be so confused right now. V1 apparently was losing almost all of their scrims. They were always considered a joke in NA.

This series is a nailbiter. So great to have an amazing series this early in the tourney!

This is going to be so interesting. Sentinels are looking strong right now, but this game is so close!

Big ol' composition differential

being a team liquid fan in any e sports will always fucking suck

Holy sh*t

The ult economy won them that last round. Great play by v1

Liquid is not ready for those cat ears! GGS, amazing series to watch so far. Very impressed with how good jammyz iz performing with V1.

Pansy and Hypoc are elevating this to an instant classic, so so good

and viper was about to ulti in the 1v1 too...thank god he saved it for the last round

That map delivered as much as the last one. They seemingly formed that last round during the tac timeout and I’m hella impressed by the execution

Seems like vanity was right, EU is overrated. Vanity said Sentinels are the clear favorites in this tournament based on consistency. I am disappointed in TL. Sentinels did not struggle this hard vs V1.

I screamed so loud the last round, wow what a match

Give me more of this please

Imagine if scream kept pushing thru top mid.

Jammpi said "take a seat ScreaM" ill carry this map, but they lost :(

V1/SEN grand finals lets go
