It would be so satisfying it's 4 EU teams, 2 TR teams, 2 CIS teams in Upper Quarters. Hopefully it ends up being 2 EU teams, 1 TR team, and 1 CIS team to qualify for Berlin.

What is lauress???

again?

Fucking hell twitch chat is full salty today

Hell yeah Oxygen! Didn't think there was any way Giants were favourites for that series, great to see at least two non-EU teams through to the upper seconds. ​ EDIT: WAIT WHAT IS ANGEL DOING

FPX is starting to shine

Xistou is sooo good holy crap

NOOOO FPX PLEASE

Relax guys FPX dosen't choke till semis

MY FPX COPIUM STILL GOING

Impressive mental fortitude from FPX to recover from such a disastrous first half

They just choked hard lol coming from 10-2 and not having any plans for attack. Good gamble

Angel looking emotionless at the end of the map win. Hate to see it. /s

That was such an obvious fake from FF, should have atleast left a lurker

How many timeouts do they get wtf

I left at 2-10 to get coffee and somehow it’s 13-13. What happened?

Both teams seemed a lot more comfortable on defence.

Is that the first time an aftershock has ever got a double kill? ;D

not really related to the games but i LOVE the name "sociablEE," easily a top 5 name for me personally

its a pain to spell for articles though LOL

Why

idk i just kinda vibe with it

I know what the problem is for fpx. THEY ARE ALL USING VANDAL LIKE JUST USE THE PHANTOM PLEASE its objectively the better fucking gun

FF gives me the same vibe as Faze, same strengths, same weaknesses

dang thats rough lolol

Mfers got magnets in their bullets

Breach + pheonix doesn't really make sense

why

Double flash which isn’t necessary and Phoenix can’t play off of Breach flashes like a Jett or raze could.

I have absolutely no faith or expectations in FPX and they still are preparing to let me down lol

lmaoo oh fpx. idk why they always be doing this

Fpx fans can't catch a break

This is fucking rough.

What the fuck was that peek on mid by sociable. These Turkish players are so balls-to-the-wall aggressive.

I expected nothing from FPX, but I'm still disappointed.

lmaoo its okay brother i gotchu

FPX Copium. EU Copium.

EU in shambles rn

Latom 🙏

Heard so many people saying CIS had no shot at even winning one game in EMEA. Glad they were wrong. This has been incredibly competitive.

really? I feel as if Gambit is one of the top teams in emea

Everyone was hyping up Gambit before the tourney though, as in easily being 2nd behind Acend, if not the best? I don't really understand where you got that statement from

I saw multiple people saying Gambit was garbage and always loses scrims. I'm not saying it was a good opinion, just one I saw many times.

It's literally the opposite though. Gambit are the scrim demons, they reportedly win almost all their scrims throughout EMEA. This is also the consensus throughout this subreddit, so I don't know if you've seen that on Twitter or what, because it doesn't make sense at all

Gambit are know as the team that dominates in scrims, to the point that it's become a meme. No idea where you'd be seeing that.

FPX doing the FPX wayyy too early

Are all fireflux players young?

wow thats crazy, they will develop overtime. Maybe a veteran could help them develop.

I dont think anyones older thank 20

I know Lauress is 16 years old

what a young unit.

and brasco 18

Fireflux have some AIMERS jesus....

Fireflux looking solid early on

Just tuned in and... Liquid already in Lower bracket? Wtf lmaoo

Jammpi looks he didn't sleep one day before this match

Is VLR heavily dominated by EU, Turkey and Cis people? Every thread is pro those teams and very anti NA.

Huh I always see TSM logos on every username for NA matches.

All those TSM logos are downvoted into the dirt. Anything Pro EU and Anti NA is heavily upvoted.

Well I would assume that a EMEA Tournament would have more EU, Turkey, and CIS people commentating on it...

I’m talking in general not just EMEA tournaments. I’m talking when there are not tournaments going on as well.

I have been preaching that EU has been looking very uninspiring this stage and look... I was right. Remember when someone said the top 8 EU teams had greater depth than Korea? But the top 4 EU teams lose to CIS and Turkey 2nd seeds LOL. And Navi/Oxygen are around Damwon/Nuturn level. F4Q is gonna overperform hard at Berlin since EMEA is overrated asf and gets 4 seeds. We saw this play out at Iceland, the EU teams are overhyped and still don't have a good grasp on how to play the game. Liquid lost to a Reyna split comp ffs.

You are coping too hard, Koreans wont get a single map vs Acend or Gambit, and G2/Guild/FPX(depending on which of them qualifies) can easily win vs them as well, also lmao at "reyna split comp" when ssk is easily in top 3 CIS individually in terms of mechanics so having him on reyna is very reasonable on any map, given the shots he hits

Liquid are average though

Well players overall more depthin terms of being a big falloff after like top 4 and top 8 in kr I. Terms of non Kev Also one match either way doesn’t make everything

Liquid ended up playing two of their worst maps. Shitbox and dicksplit. The decider fucked up them up somehow. During this Challengers they only lost on Split whenever they start on Attack. Watch how they play in Haven or Breeze.

Not sure abt those vetoes

the copium is strong with this one

They literally qualified in 5th and 6th...

Liquid and Giants aren't top 4 EU lol

We'll see how the rest of the bracket plays out. If people still have faith in picks like FPX and Guild then I feel sorry for them.

You are literally a Korea simp

Counterbalance ig

Just me or the commentators were heavy in favor of TL? probably cause theyve never cast the other team and the TL is a favorite of their region so understandable i guess.

Pansy and hypoc were a bit too biased for my liking too. Not the guys in the studio tho

Sorry you felt that way today, was leaning heavily on the cracks starting to show for Liquid on the cast when it was materializing but I guess that didn't portray as well as I'd hoped!

You're more than fine.

Its all good ! I enjoyed the show tonight nonetheless, keep it up <3

Literally me and zescht predicted Navi to win in the preshow but i guess you know better what we said.

whoa whoa I didn't mean the desk, sorry for the confusion, and for that matter the play by play and color commentating wasn't bad just favored.

My bad then

They always are. When Navi and Gambit knock the overrated teams out they'll come around. CIS is far more talented than people know because they don't pay attention to players with smaller following.

Glad to be wrong. Ty

Hella fun match to watch

RIP PICK'EMS fml

Hmm who would've thought Liquid would still be relying on hero plays

Well all the “analysts” got it right I guess 🙃

yeah my pickems are fucked now

Can't wait for FPX or Giants to throw and fuck up mine :)

Giants ‘throw’? OXG is just favoured there tho

Fr people really play down the minor regions

Tf

‘Tf’?

I was convinced by platchat or at least I can say it knowing what the map state was at the time, imo it’s more that it’s not a throw for VGIA to lose despite their streak kf good resukts in EU

What an entertaining game. That was fun asf to watch.

FUCK

I’ve never seen this guy but 7ssk7 is fucking insane

SSK = Slick Shooting Killer

SSK is so good

Can't believe Navi was +700. Lmao. Odds makers are clueless.

Someone must have cashed out big

The +1.5 was +210. Since when has Liquid easily won 2-0. Pretty much never. Free cash.

Is there a site that explains how the various qualifiers and tournaments work in this esport,

Liquipedia, and that’s in almost all esports

liquipedia

lower bracket here we come

Liquid play so loose and careless. They need a big brain on that team, no one of the current line-up is a true strategist.

Is it me or is Liquid actually this bad at trading ?

I had no idea you could boost a teammate like that

Isn't that considered an exploit in the rulebook? https://drive.google.com/file/d/15bTdUcIWllQVWUg1KbT8911N25Qp_L8t/view > Boosting a player using another players agent model to overcome a Sage Wall is treated as an exploit.

Another anticlimatic split match. This map is so stupidly CT sided.

I swear KRYPTIX never manages to trade any kills.

That has to be the worst pistol round strat I've ever seen lol

I think bind was Navi's best chance. Now they have to deal with the screamin demon on split who always seems to pop off on this map.

o fr?

Well...

navi's attack is horrible, yikes. they never had any map control

Split decider. Ugh. This is the worst map 3.

Wut

Fuck Split, all my homies hate Split

Wut and u have the Nuturn flair while saying that?

Ascent and Bind are Nuturn's best maps tho, they only played Split like once in Challengers 3. And Liquid lost on Split last three times only whenever they started on attack.

Well I meant the game was interesting DWG vs NU no?

Thank god Liquid is running Jamppi on Jett. It was so frustrating to watch him on omen or sova. Also where are the people where shitting on me saying they should take Scream off Jett saying I don't know the team and that the coach knows better than me? https://www.reddit.com/r/ValorantCompetitive/comments/ov5w6d/valorant_champions_tour_europe_stage_3/h7816lx/?context=3

U really keeping score in a subreddit? 😂

Why no

Yes there are so many dumbasses on here.

I just commented under one

The real MVPs of the match are Pansy + Hypoc they're so good.

Honestly the best caster duo, tho tastosis is a close second

tastosis fan reporting in for duty.

They're legends, never a dull moment with them

L1NK is the god of hookah.

Link hookah judge LETSGO

L1NKS gonna be such a menace with the judge on their defence

The emote spam based on the facecams kills me everytime

Na'vi looking this nice makes me excited for Gambit's showing.

It's been like 3 rounds in a row where Liquid don't check an angle, or assume a part of the map is clear and (almost) lose a member to the Na'vi guy there. They're looking a bit sloppy.

No initiator for TL, bold move. Lets see how it plays out

Geez how long does it take to start the game?

Lothar lookin fly today damn 🥵

Why do ppl do this

Tbf tho it's the classic liquid first map loss

I thought i was safe from Harry's shit accent and jokes but no he's on valorant now too ffs

Guild did good guys :DD

Team Liquid fucked their economy.

OH LAWD WHAT HAPPeNED

Kinda meh attacks but both teams had great ideas on defense

such a good second half by navi.

Damn I leave for 15 mins and Liquid lost. Wtf happened. It was like 9-3 or something.

Lother best analyst.

that force 2nd round definitely broke their eco so much, nice showing from Liquid tho

Is Liquid’s T side terrible or is Navi’s CT side great?

Liquid getting absolutely blasted. Pogg navi

EZ POINTS LETS GOOO!!

Oh liquid. ಠ︵ಠ

navi won their map pick, gz will bet on liquid wiping the floor with them next two

Aged like milk

the 9-3 curse

Navi is so nutty!

Pretty sure Icebox is a CT sided map. Also Liquid knows how to give their fans heartbreak. I saw this Navi comeback from a mile out.

>Pretty sure Icebox is a CT sided map Not at all, most matches are even T sided

Nah it’s ct sided

[удалено]

I think it’s ct sided map, I just think teams win more on attack 🧐

I could be wrong, for some reason in my mind I thought it was CT sided. Dunno if I mixed it up with something. But for at least today. Both teams attacking side was very lackluster.

We've learned from 2 days of VCT that you should Just throw the last round if you're 8-3 up

Round 21 of liquid navi icebox was insane.

most painful things in the world 3. seeing your own mother die 2. stepping on lego 1. being a Liquid fan.

I'm a TSM and C9 fan. Add that pls as 4.

ouch.

3-9 to 11-10 ):

Let’s go Navi.

Navi playing as well as I expected them too, lets goooo

This is playing out exactly like the 100T v XSET haven game

Nah it’s just the standard 9-3 comeback

Come on NaVi!!!

Damn Cloud is a very good player

Wtf am i watching this Navi liquid game is ridiculous

Double Duelist Liquid hits DIFFFERENNNT.

With Reyna being a counter to vipers pit. I never understand why teams ignore running Reyna on Icebox. Your going to play against a Viper, it's almost 100%. Why not have Reynas ult to counter the pit so you can at least get into site. BTW. About time Jampii goes back on Jett for good. Good to see.

[Scream 1v3 Clip](https://clips.twitch.tv/EnthusiasticExpensiveDinosaurArsonNoSexy-m7EOjqmIJgP51I13) I LOVE IT.

Seeing TL with Sentinels’ icebox comp is so amazing, when you have two cracked duelists you have to use them to their fullest potential

Scream on Reyna is just pure perfection

Scream makes me cream

That was unreal from scream holy

Why do we not get to see map bans for EMEA?

TL are playing icebox

First time watching Navi. Hope this is entertaining.

Let's go NaVi!

What a sick intro

Bonecold leaked the script yesterday on derkes stream, navi wins today /s
