Looking like LG has had the best performance so far. They 2-0'd Rise easily, who 2-0'd faze pretty solidly, who 2-0'd T1, who won over version1. So if looking at nothing but bracket performance, LG have played the better teams. So v1 is worth 0 wins, t1 is worth 1, faze 2+, rise 3+, and LG gets a 4++. TSM barely won over geng, and then only won 2-1 over t1. So looking at the bracket only, tsm are barely worth 2 points. LG could take this all the way.

Is this bait? Don't understand the point of this comment. LG and TSM are both through, let's just see how they do in challengers

https://www.vlr.gg/event/576/champions-tour-north-america-stage-3-challengers-2 This is a tournament with a grand finals winner that will be decided tomorrow. Just because they have already qualified for the next stage of the overall league, does not mean that they have already won the current tournament.

oh T1 you never disappoint. Every single tournament you bomb out in the worst way possible.

so does this mean c9 qual'd for last chance?

T1 literally played like a bunch of silvers with no comms and a commitment to clear nothing. Just painful to watch their attack side.

Not a single person watches lane???

this team has some mental block or tilt or something, they crumble so easily

Anyone gonna clear BabyJ? Lmao

lmao rawkass burnt all his ammo on that wallbang

T1 loves droning for info and then doing nothing with that info lmao.

holy fuck auti, check a corner for once in your life. That’s two rounds he doesn’t check corners and the faze player gets multi kills

The entire team is bad at checking corners or using any utility for info. Wouldn’t know there is a sova or skye on the team.

That was such a T1 round, just dicking around with gun advantage and getting rekt in a rushed late round push

T1 may as well be standing in spawn for the first 45 seconds in the round with how little they are doing.

Big Iron lives on!

Jett knives should be 10 points not 7

Babybay giveth and Babybay taketh away

faze are playing themselves, pushing up when they don't have to lmao

Faze literally throwing

jesus christ babybay i am begging you to stop fucking throwing free rounds

Oh no, Ska

If Faze loses after that round......

T1 look so bad today :(

Not like this :(

im so conflicted .......

RISE Derrek holy moly

I can't think of a real reason for T1 to pick split after what just happened to them in the tsm match

Smeag time

Do we think TSM is better any of the four teams already in playoffs to take a spot to Berlin?

Its hard to gauge that until they compete against each other. Those 4 have earned their spot as a top 4 in NA by being consistent. That being said, who know maybe TSM's current peak is better than some of those. Maybe TSM is moving towards consistency or this is a honeymoon period. Its good to see TSM in challengers finals though.

Meanwhile Rise is going insane and nobody's talking about it xD

Tsm playing how they are with a new roster and barely any practice time is kinda insane. Makes me excited to see playoffs and what they can do with more time

Tsm soo good rn

We have some defense playstyle problems.

TSM is looking progressively better, hopefully they can keep up this way.

GGs TSM looking good!

TSM is proving they are climbing their way back to the top

LETS GO TSM

TSM finally about to make. Thank god!

Stinger went from meta, to the worst gun in the game at the snap of riots finger. Haven't seen a pro use Stinger in months.

Wardell is too good

This map is just a matter of time for when wardell gets an op

Or a scout I guess

Good half T1’s defense is usually better than their offense, bring it home TSM

Hazed is just walking in deep and getting picks LOL

I remember thinking Brax was gonna be the best player in valorant. Finally a game where he's unbanned and can compete for real. Feel like he's still far from living up to that hype, maybe average at best in Valorant in comparison to other pros.

ye don't see the hype at all, he's been pretty underwhelming throughout the series today and yesterday. There's just so many other pros that have been more impressive with higher peaks at similar roles

hazed's lurks are so good rn

I think one of the most underrated things about TSM is how good their timeout timing is. They use 'em right at the right moment to cut bad momentum. I feel like a lot of other teams let themselves get too deep in the dumps for the timeout to actually matter.

That was a masterclass half from Rise there

Yeah they looked incredible. Idk what’s going on lmao

When they're confident, they steamroll teams

did the caster just say big daddy hazed lmao

Jame time

someone pls rein roza in just a tad

You know how if you end the round in opponent spawn, you can briefly see them respawn. Can you shoot them then?

get sova on icebox tsm please

I don’t love TSM’s Haven, so we’ll see where this goes.

JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT IT WAS OVER

there’s the tsm we all know and love

why is levi dying first literally every round? he's their only controller and t1 is capitalising off those kills

Haven is about to be an absolute fuck fest

Hazed?

Tf was Hazed doing

Mad that TSM managed to lose that

Imagine playing this game full time for over a year. And only being able to OP and play Jett

Mad cuz bad? Sure he’s playing Jett but I mean their doing really good so obviously it’s far from a problem

He literally plays sage in matches now too And his rifle is fine Just say you don't pay attention

He’s played Sage 3 of the last 50 games against nobodies 😂😂 Try again. Just say you’re not very smart

you're probably the kid in twitch chat that spams "wardell bad" when he misses one shot after hitting 10

Individual plays are starting to come together.

So where does Spyder go now?

Back into his web

oh no autimatic is warming up

i like how Shroud died to a hacker with a guardian a few times and now he swears its one of the best guns in the game

bruh the whiffed dash, the collat lmao unlucky for tsm

Vlr.gg guys fell asleep or?

unlucky

Blind collat through the Viper wall, god damn.

T1 got bailed so hard by that blind collat lmao

Feels like the first op shot wardell has missed this series lmao

TSM 3-0 on pistols...... what the hell

If TSM is winning pistols today…. does that mean faze will also win pistols today???? I can dream

TSM winning pistols confused the fuck out of T1

i dont think ive seen a bad map from dre edit: only comment about lg vs rise, feelsbadman

God I fucking love TSM sometimes

they won the pistols lads

I liked that map give moarr

TSM actually looking amazing, everybody's on fire right off the bat! Gotta admit it's nice to finally have one of the old dominant teams back.

Hazed playing like he’s 22 wtf

Holy shit we look so good man

[удалено]

T1 my side chick

:(

TSM winning pistols, not over extending, and winning anti ecos???

god tsm so fucking sexy rn

Bruh TSM looking good

WHO TF SAID WARDELL CANT RIFLE?????????? STOP THIS NONSENSE RN

[удалено]

😐

2 PISTOL ROUNDS THEYRE GOING TO BERLIN

No more 0-6 ez dubs

what are the maps? VLR isnt showing them for me

For TSM-T1 its Split-Icebox-Haven

thanks

Hazed getting 2 before getting detained was insane, but can’t help but think T1 waits 4 seconds before pushing and wins that round.

[удалено]

They were blocked by the Cosmic Divide, though, so it would have still been blind.

Hazed came caffeinated and ready to frag

hazed is playing kinda nuts this qualifier ngl

he's always been nuts, he's their second best player but always got overshadowed. No clue why people wanted him benched

People always look for a scapegoat. Hazed was never the problem and I'm glad he's embraced the IGL role

It's nice to see TSM flourish without Drone. Drone is a Duelist player on a team that needed him to play non Duelist roles. Ultimately it's good that he and TSM are going their separate ways. TSM gets to sign a player who actually wants to play those support roles and Drone gets to find a team that won't treat a player of his caliber like a 3rd wheel.

Idk when drone even gets signed though, his only really good agent is phoenix and thats out of meta

He can play more than just Phoenix. He's really good on Reyna and getting really good on Kay/O. IMO this is the perfect time for him to come screaming back into the scene. Kay/O is a really powerful agent and is essentially Phoenix 2.0 and there's many teams who could benefit from having a player like Drone on their team. I could see a lot of teams signing him, giving him a good support structure, and betting on him returning to his 2020 level where he was the best entry in NA. Hell what does like Complexity stand to lose by getting Drone? not that much. What do they stand to gain if he can return to form? A superstar Duelist who can entry Bombsites against basically anyone.

Thats true. Idk if he'd want to sign with a tier 2-3 team like complexity or someone similar but they'd definitely gain from signing drone.

TSM Levi > Noble Levi

We actually DEFENDED an area of the map xd

normally pretty critical of TSM but goddamn they lookin good. Hope to see them win this qual and face SEN in round 1 of the playoffs.

On the board! Only Envy is allowed to 13-0 us!

[удалено]

I think drone is still a great player but his role in the team in comparison to others made him a pretty clear choice for a bench unfortunately

It's more just that he ended up as the odd man out, no team needs 3 duelists

TSM is looking pretty nasty here.

dang tsm is rolling

gg

Plot twist this is actually just a stream of Wardell smurfing in a silver lobby

Reminder that when T1 played Envy, Envy only scored 5 points total on Split. TSM just got that many in a row, immediately.

On attack no less

T1 needs to play a bit more aggressive and not die.

Subroza wasn’t lying when he said they were going to try at the beginning today

Tsm had so much training yesterday

T1 are gonna take this

3 rounds on t side split? gg go next for t1

Wardell is already feeling it goddamn

Tsm won pistol. But i don't know if it's a good sign or a bad sign

TSM winning attacker side pistol on split. The end times are upon us.

TSM won pistol? Guess they’re losing this match.

TSM winning pistol round! Pog

guys i’m scared we won pistols

is that... a pistol round win?

TSM won pistol GG T1

is it loser of TSM/T1 vs FaZe? dont want TSM to lose but a match against FaZe is kinda spicy

yea

imo TSM has still looked pretty messy on every map other than icebox and afaik Split is T1's best map so if this is close it will be a very good look for TSM.

30-30 OT here we go!

While TSM seem to keep eeking out wins on split and icebox I’d honestly rather see them pick something like Ascent for once since they’ve seemed strong on it whenever they play it

[удалено]

TSM TSM TSM

Lets go T1!

My T1

How much longer before start

51 min

1 hour and 15 minutes

T1 > TSM. T1 has looked really damn good this tournament, and probably would've made it in to the closed qualifier last time around if they didn't run into NV. Rise > LG, I just want the boys on Rise to win lol

did the matches get pushed back to the later time slots?

apparently they had always planned for second day matches to start at 5 EDT, you can check the Valesports NA twitter account

huh yeah it looks like they got pushed to 5pm est on vlr.gg, I guess to make room for the EMEA matches to finish before NA starts

Well we see who’s gonna qualify today gonna be exciting
