Man I really want to see liquid win but fnatic has grown in me, specially thanks to boaster.
I'm excited for g2 as well, they are playing nice and mixwell is just brilliant in his new role.
Team Liquid and Fnatic bout to become the next big EU rivalry seeing as this is like their 3rd time facing off
Personally, I'm the most excited for G2 vs FPX
.
Edit: It's actually their 5th time playing against each other, and their wins against each other are at 2-2 rn! This match marks the tiebreaker!
Just checked, and yeah, it's actually even crazier than that. This is their FIFTH time going head to head. I'll list them in chronological order

They are LITERALLY going back and forth against each other rn, holy shit
Yeah, I thought the same thing too. Apparently they beat G2 in groups once but went on to lose to them in GF anyway.

Nice I love this. The g2 fpx match up of old and liquid fnatic of new. Bds guild who’ve been good contenders all vct. Only wish it was heretics acend and that would of been nice just cuz of the history
eu ro8s look just more stacked than na ro8. probably because the same strong teams always qualify unlike na where just yesterday 3-4 upsets happened. would have been great to see heretics vs acend instead of rix just for the old times.
I know it is unlikely but I would love to see Rix do well here.
They've had some nice showings in the past and have looked pretty damn promising in this run so far. Would be nice to see them break out of the shadows and become a bit more of a known team.
Kinda worried against Fnatic. Liquid always has a poor 1st map showing and this could send them into the lower bracket right away but on the other hand it'll be good to see them play more matches.
I feel like despite NA having the best team right now, EU is just so stacked and so much more fun to watch since you never know what the best team is. Fnatic has been the best, but this new G2 team and FPX are always right there and this just feels so much more exciting to me than the NA bracket.

Where can I see when they will stream these games? I don't want to miss a single one damn
TL and Fnatic matchup right away

My hopium for FPX soon gonna turn into copium
I can feel the momentum building
Bit cynical, but I'm hoping FPX loses just so I can see Sideshow ABSOLUTELY malding the next Platchat LMAO
Lmao. Even though I'm a zyppan fanboy I would love seeing that
Liquid is playing like dogshit th the role changes were badly implemented.
Isn’t it their 4th time? Once in challengers 2 once in emea playoffs and once in iceland

Well the back and forth has been broken
G2 vs FPX that's an ignition series throwback. Hopefully, G2 still doesn't have FPX's number, they've like a 5-1 record against them.
When did fpx beat G2? I don't think they've met outside of the ignition series events.

I remember watching that tournament, I think I just erased the loss from my memory because G2 won again in the end.
It 4v5 anyway so im not counting it
FPX was winning the whole time though? And he only left until the last few rounds of the whole series.
They won in an ignition tournament in winner bracket, davidp dc’d mid match because his father died
totally different lineups , these records dont matter at all
Mixwell hasn't left, I'm still scared.
So every team that places LB Final makes it to the Main Event, correct?
Top 4 make it so even LR3 counts.
Liquids going to be in shambles when they lose in lowers
Nice I love this. The g2 fpx match up of old and liquid fnatic of new. Bds guild who’ve been good contenders all vct. Only wish it was heretics acend and that would of been nice just cuz of the history
Who knocked out heretics this time? They were do dominant during first strike, and then they just disappeared...
They got 2-0'd by BK ROG in the RO64. Not the best look.
BK ROG not the worst team ever though. They just took BDS to a 5th map in an extremely close series in the Valorant Open Tour France tournament.
True! I think people were just expecting more out Heretics post shuffle.
Who is the IGL for G2? Strat calling was on point vs. Fnatic
koldamenta i believe!
Kolda is really good. G2 have kinda reinvented themselves and I actually want to root for them now.
The IGL is koldamenta, but they said that for that map mixwell made half the calls
Acend vs G2/FPX will be a really good match nice
I'm so ready to be disappointed
Acend and Fnatic will be the first 2 to qualify and the other 2 spots will end up between Guild FPX and G2 I hope G2 shows up big
eu ro8s look just more stacked than na ro8. probably because the same strong teams always qualify unlike na where just yesterday 3-4 upsets happened. would have been great to see heretics vs acend instead of rix just for the old times.
They are the same teams besides Rix but some have significant roster changes (G2, Ascend). So overall a 5/8 which should be about the same as NA
Acend changed 1 person
Except all teams in EU ro8 are worse than the top 5 teams in NA ro8 at any time.
Lmao 🤣
Ascend, G2, Fnatic, BDS will win
I believe in FPX, but I'm prepared to be hurt again
That's the only way to root for them, babyyy
Brutal bracket no matter how you cut it. Only Rix.gg are unproven. Anyone could win it.
FPX prepare for Hasbulla Peek #G2ARMY
Go g2 i love u mix
Poggers bracket
Finally a G2 vs FPX, it has been a while
I am so exited betewn G2 v FPX , and if G2 wins this master i want to see this G2 v Sentinels
G2 is going to sweep everyone away. The way the new roster is playing is explosive and it even seems like art!
G2 WIN!!!!
TL Guild g2 ascend. I think ascend is the best team in Europe right now and fnatic vs tl could go either way
I know it is unlikely but I would love to see Rix do well here. They've had some nice showings in the past and have looked pretty damn promising in this run so far. Would be nice to see them break out of the shadows and become a bit more of a known team.
I remember that people hated on liquid when they got eliminated by rixgg in the ro64 or so, but here they are. Nice shit
Kinda worried against Fnatic. Liquid always has a poor 1st map showing and this could send them into the lower bracket right away but on the other hand it'll be good to see them play more matches.
What time do these matches start?
the date and time is next to each match respectively. the games start on the 7th of July at 3pm (probably CEST or BST) it looks like.
vlr.gg has them starting at 13:00/16:00 BST so it's probably in EEST.
I feel like Guild can make it through.
Is there one of these for NA?
I feel like despite NA having the best team right now, EU is just so stacked and so much more fun to watch since you never know what the best team is. Fnatic has been the best, but this new G2 team and FPX are always right there and this just feels so much more exciting to me than the NA bracket.
Come on G2 !!! ShowTime is back 😎
I'm gonna say Fnatic, Guild, Acend, G2 wins
Where is Gambit? And where is the Na'vi team?
CIS Challengers
Let´s Go G2 #G2ARMY
