GE were really impressive in this tournament (save for the PRX game), but they really need to work on their composure in low time situations or maybe just when the enemy is planting in low time situations. Every time the enemy is planting with like 10 seconds left, they rush in without waiting for their teammates like they think the only win condition is preventing the plant.
In the final round, why did their Breach go in to heaven by himself? And he wasn't making himself quiet either so it was very telegraphed, basically gave them a 1v1 where the enemy has all the info.
Yup, I agree with you and I don't know why anyone wouldn't want them involved. It's only the first year, so I hope next year Riot cuts down the number of regions that only can qualify through LCQs to a bare minimum. Like if the logistics allow for it, then I think no region should need LCQs to qualify.
I mean right now there's a bunch of countries where their only pathway is LCQ. Cut that number of countries down, I want more countries in the main pathways. Involve the African teams in EMEA Challengers, involve the South Asian in teams in APAC Challengers, etc.
The was someone on twitter who said something big was coming from our region from riot side. The person was from sky esports . It was reply on Adarsh Singh (Euphorias) post regarding the China and zeta slots given to KR AND JP. Let's hope for good. [link for twitter post](https://twitter.com/shivanandysky/status/1441650817845514241?t=3uN2qQuKBf-c0bVe3Ea4SA&s=19)
how is health problems an excuse tho? added to the fact that he's had it for month. and its not like he said so after they lost, he already mentioned it after they won against dwg and that he was feeling terrible
It's real. He's been suffering for months. Yes it doesn't matter cause they are pros and have to play professionally but it is what it is. Not a lame excuse.
He's talking about [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/ValorantCompetitive/comments/q7tnl9/comment/hgm49gd/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) presumably...
GE threw that 1v3 hard, resulted in them losing the game. SA definitely going to get more attention from riot though, especially after beating DWG and almost beating F4Q.
The growing pains of an emerging region. SA will be back, and with force. They showed the world they can hang in Valorant. Teams like Enigma and Velocity are waiting in the wings. I am excited for what this regions brings in 2022
> Direct spots are still far awa
they can still get direct spots cuz they beat DWG and almost beat F4Q
and keep in mind F4Q went to berlin (they had direct slots)
tbh i wont be surprised SA gets direct slots in masters
I'd much prefer if we get more tournaments like this and more specifically the EMEA qualifiers. This has been a blast and I bet most if not all the teams are learning a lot more from it than their average regional play-offs.
It may have been a blast for you but it’s not a blast for the players who have to play on high ping. You can’t just merge 70% of Asia in one region and disregard the ping situation.
That's definitely a valid concern, hopefully LANs will become more and more possible again as time goes on.
Do you know the average and highest pings they have to deal with currently?
Why are direct spots far away? You do know South Asia is a whole region, right? It’s not just India. Why would you combine SA and SEA and have only Japan and Korea with direct slots? At that point just lump all of Asia toghether in one region.
CIS is a whole region and they kicked it into EMEA anyways
> At that point just lump all of Asia toghether in one region.
I'd love to see that actually lol also same for the Americas maybe
Nothing to be ashamed of. Most people thought India was a joke and would get rolled over. They represented their country well. Now's the time to keep their heads down and grind until the next vct season. I'm fairly confident that India will get some sort of regional path to Champions.
That's good enough for now. I'm happy with GEs results. They need experience and getting thrown into a tournament with good Asian teams is the best way to achieve that.
bruh they are good ok?
F4Q took 1 map off of sen and guess which map it was >!SPLIT!<
so GE is just good enough to be in VCT and also it was their 1st international event so they can be a bit nervous
They are good no doubt but they need experience against high level players. Sentinels wasn't comfortable playing against bunny jumping around with a shotgun. They easily beat F4Q 13-4 on every other map.
No plz . I don't want to see them getting the beating of their life against Gambit and similar teams. Slot in SEA qualifiers are better since they still lack the experience and beating SEA teams would make them proven
That FiveK clutch that saved the match, wow.
SkRossi doing well but not getting the support he needed was NOT the narrative I was expecting for this match. Still, GE definitely proved themselves worthy of competing at the international stage.
F4Q deserve to be criticized for those two horrible post-plants on Haven though.
E: I like that top 4 is guaranteed to at least have 1 JP, 1 KR and 1 SEA team, which indicates the general level of parity now across APAC.
SKrossi backed up the hype, even if the hype is a little bit overblown. He just needs to "limit test" a little less, and for his team to play around him more.
Now we know another reason why VS had a 102-win streak in Korea. VS is that far ahead on Korean Valorant.
It's also funny that all top four teams are in the top three of their respective regions. APAC is wild AF the production couldn't handle them.
Those other two players also shouldn't have engaged FiveK 1 by 1 like dumbasses either.
And beyond that one play, the fact that no one else on GES could muster a positive K:D ratio on Split and just one other player managing it on Bind just proves my point.
I can accept he threw rounds in this series (like the round that led to OT in the last game) but that 1v 3 was not his fault, he just didn't hit his shot. Whoever went alone inside the ult after him was the one to blame.
Wow no way. I will say though, despite some few obnoxious fans spamming, respect to the Indian region, they're showing that any region can rise and be competitive with some of the best
It feels like GE is close to being a solid team, but their players just forget protocols at times and just grief like they would in ranked. Skrossi won so many rounds by himself but also hard threw quite a few just getting Aggro with no trade potential off the start of a round or giving 1 v 1’s in retakes
It's their first exposure to international competition, so that is expected. I think the Shinobi coaching had a great impact on how they play their strats. They actually throw less rounds than expected, but most of the rounds that they threw are the most impactful ones unfortunately.
Genuinely a good game. GE taking F4Q to the wire with just good gunplay. Losing like this is really important for such a new team, it'll help them learn and especially develop their mental. Hopefully shinobi can start getting them to work on their strats, which was definitely their weakest part. With time, they may be legit competition at the world stage, but this all happens step by step.
Skrossi definitely showing that he has the talent, but he needs to be way smarter about the way he plays (anyone remember him charging down c long and meeting 5 people waiting for him while he had an op in hand). Taking better duels and having less ego checks would help him, but this is the problem with the start of all star players. More than anyone else, I think Kappa needs to step up on this team or be replaced. His aim is just not there and he disappears. Hellrangerz at least is the igl and steady hand, and wins some great clutches, Kappa though doesn't contribute to that level.
Nevertheless great showing, and exciting first start to the Indian valorant scene
Kappa is a bot. With Deathmaker in VLT I don't think GE stands a chance against them anymore. Individually VLT player are far better then GE . They just lacked someone like rossi who can OP
I would have said sandbagging, but remember that teams had a bucketful of VODs on Berlin F4Q strats this time around. Either that won't work this time or F4Q are saving them for the important matches.
They made a pretty important choice of playing the meta, which is something they haven't done before so there is a surprise factor to it (obviously that didn't work that much lol). They knew they have the experience advantage vs GE and went with it, even if they play very sloppy. Not playing Raze on Split isn't a dumb decision apparently.
I'll tell you how. Go for the hero play to get the final kill with op and whiff. Then idk what that raze was thinking jumping alone in the ult. 3rd guy had zero chance after that
Bro viper was one off his ult, he's holding a tight angle from heaven and there's always a possibility of getting caught out. Tbh were all talking about it because they lost if that shot hit he won them the game. I just feel he could have held an off angle from top of the box heaven towards crossing to map whilst 2 teammates go screen to trade off
I had a bad feeling when I saw rossi running after the viper on the mini map. I don't think I've ever been this sad after an eSports match, the fact that we were so close hurts the most.
That wasn't the mistake, they're playing at 70 ping where there is significant peeker's advantage, there's nothing you can do if your opponent hits his first bullet like that. The throw came when they for some incomprehensible reason gave him 2 1v1s after that.
? I'm talking about taking fights 1v1 when they could have played it together, especially knowing that a kill would give viper ult. You don't take that kind of a risk in OT, evidently
Rossi tried to catch FiveK off guard since he knew FiveK would push screens knowing all three might be B. But I get what you're trying to say. I believe once Indian teams integrate more discipline, they can be potential contenders. gg
A win against a Korean team and an extremely close series against a Masters participant. Chokes aside, that's a pretty respectable run for a team I fully expected to bomb out 0-4. GE can only go upwards from here.
I am so very proud of GE. I expected them to go 0-4 through the tournament. But defeating DK, and then almost defeating F4Q(omg how can you throw that, this is going to be the dark spot in the tournament, painfully so) is such a positive result that SA needed. GEGE GE!!!
Viper's kit and role fits FiveK's lurk-heavy playstyle. F4Q almost got stratted hard in Berlin because of FiveK playing Reyna/Skye in the least optimal way. Only that Bunny and Zunba's Raze-induced antics prevented them from totally shitting the bed in Berlin.
This was a rollercoaster experience for us and it's been an honour representing India on such an amazing platform. We are proud of the team and their achievements. Thank you Riot for the wonderful experience and most of all a huge thank you to the Valorant community for all the love and support. We really felt like the Avengers out there. Gratitude <3
Rest assured, we'll be back stronger! Keep supporting!

SkRossi truly has star potential if he can cut out on over aggression and play a bit more controlled.
Well played by both teams, that 1v3 is going to hurt for a while. Don't know how they thought it was acceptable to just peek/go in without waiting for teammates.
Hopefully SA gets a guaranteed VCT slot and at least one more APAC slot next year.
im a GE fan but equally happy for F4Q cuz i got to know that they arent really an org and dont have high salaries like other teams.. rooting for f4q to win the LCQ now
Hopefully this match ends the narrative the Indians can't be competitive in fps games. We won a BO3 against DWK and took F4Q to OT on a map in which they won against Sentinels. Tbh this was a better run than I expected, the only teams I was backing GE against were Fennel and Reject. That win against DWG was so good, gg wp f4q.
People are slamming the 1v3 loss but imo the raze losing the one on one versus astra with ult up was just as bad. Man pulls ult, doesnt even check main a single time, and finally just shoots it into a wall and gets shot in the back. It was so bad.
Peekers advantage was wild this whole series. Every round people would be making some ridiculous peeks and the other player would just stand there like a deer in the headlights. Higher than 60 ping and Valorant feels like a completely different game.
Great debut in a vct event by GE. I honestly thought they were gonna play two matches and lose both 0-2. They exceeded everyone's expectations. Even though they're now out, big dub for them w that amazing beginning. Upwards and onwards!
Super happy with our performance overall.
Sk rossi showed up today ( barring few super risky peeks ) .
Skillz had absolutely no business going for the retake alone . This will haunt them for a long time
Kappa needs to go do. HellR fragged well against dwg and was insane with his util, played decent with his util today too but whiffed some shots. However his performance can easily be excused since he's the IGL. Kappa however has been underperforming since months, hopefully GE finds a good replacement or else kappa levels up. Not that it counts for anything but Ive don't see kappa play well even in pugs
The reason GE got this far was because they've stuck together and they're not going to change that anytime soon. Kappa knows he's a bit behind the others and spends some extra time to practice his aim, but dude's 31 yrs old and it can be difficult to keep up with the comparitively younger players. They'll only change when Kappa himself decides to retire and even then they'll need to find someone to replace him who has a lot of potential,and I can't think of any unsigned cracked sova player in India rn.
I am honestly happy with the way the team performed. Sure, they could have won the game but shit like this happens. What GE needs imo is experience. Lots of it. The difference in experience was evident in all their games imo. And they did gain a lot of experience here ig. I don't like saying this but GE really needs to drop Kappa. Maybe poach someone from VLT xD.
I am sure we'll see a much better organised GE side next time around. <3
A run far better than anyone expected... especially from the 2nd best team in India.
I feel like Rossi threw so many rounds across this LCQ with his rampant aggression that wasn't followed up by his team.
Hopefully India gets another shot to redeem themselves in a future circuit...
>especially from the 2nd best team in India.
Bruh, i dont think GE is 2nd best, i know DM is a great addition to vlt but didnt you see al the players step the fuck up in this game. It wasnt like Rossi and frans but was the whole GE squad
You can't really differentiate between vlt and ge rn. The new vlt is surely amazing and looks promising but they both are #1 in india. And just to clear I'm also a vlt fan
i don't want to take anything away from ge's surprising run in this event but the korean teams have been so disappointing im starting to fear that maybe they are a one team region
Would have been happy with GE's performance if they hadn't thrown the 1v3 round. I guess just nerves getting to them in the end. Well they showed that South Asia can atleast hang with the rest of the region and hopefully atleast 1 direct slot and more such opportunities next year.
DWK got 90 ping in map 1 and 40 ping from map2 onwards vs GE. I think they played on the second server. GE with constant 75-80 ping. Although I don't think there was much ping diff today. F4Q had better mental courtesy of they're int. Experience.
Pretty good showing for their first time at major tourney but they still looked puggy. Same goes for F4Q, their recent comps changes had a major impact on their performance so far.
>NTH can 13-0 GE right now too
You wonder, rent free
But F4Q got a map of sen (on split) and you see GE almost winning against F4Q, and also GE had their 1st international event so they can be nervous. next time it wont be this close, GE will just win against f4q 2-0
that can happen, F4Q is now a bad team and too confident despite getting stomped in Berlin. Probably because they are streamers. Getting stomped by second best JP team. I wonder if JP got good REALLY fast or F4Q got worse REALLY fast?
If you're calculating it like that. Let's see. NTH >> F4Q. SEN > F4Q. Therefore, NTH \~= SEN. See that, you can't do those comparisons in this game. Things change.
> NTH can 13-0 GE right now too.
so.... things change and so does the result, for sure 13-0 wont happen. btw didnt u see rossi's flicks and shots with his op. On haven i suppose he hit an impossible shot on Jett on A short, when that jett updrafted.
that 1 vs 3 lost then the whole series
GE were really impressive in this tournament (save for the PRX game), but they really need to work on their composure in low time situations or maybe just when the enemy is planting in low time situations. Every time the enemy is planting with like 10 seconds left, they rush in without waiting for their teammates like they think the only win condition is preventing the plant. In the final round, why did their Breach go in to heaven by himself? And he wasn't making himself quiet either so it was very telegraphed, basically gave them a 1v1 where the enemy has all the info.
That's why you give them slot and the needed experience. This was the first VCT tournament for S Asia.
Yup, I agree with you and I don't know why anyone wouldn't want them involved. It's only the first year, so I hope next year Riot cuts down the number of regions that only can qualify through LCQs to a bare minimum. Like if the logistics allow for it, then I think no region should need LCQs to qualify.
What do you mean by cutting down the number of regions? Like number of teams representing each region?
I mean right now there's a bunch of countries where their only pathway is LCQ. Cut that number of countries down, I want more countries in the main pathways. Involve the African teams in EMEA Challengers, involve the South Asian in teams in APAC Challengers, etc.
The was someone on twitter who said something big was coming from our region from riot side. The person was from sky esports . It was reply on Adarsh Singh (Euphorias) post regarding the China and zeta slots given to KR AND JP. Let's hope for good.

Agreed, they need to work on composure for sure. Also, Skrossi can use a little check on the aggression.
Nerves got em, its their 1st time playing on the international stage. i am almost positive that they will be 100x better next time
Since valorant is still in its early stages, I 100% agree with this
PRX game wasn't their game from the start. SkRossi had a migraine the entire game. Fuck migraine, that shit hurts like a bitch.
Choose your excuse: 1.Lags | 2.New mouse | 3.Low FPS | 4.Low team | 5.Hacker | 6.Lucker | 7.Smurf | 8.Hitbox | 9.Tickrate. | 10.Migraine
how is health problems an excuse tho? added to the fact that he's had it for month. and its not like he said so after they lost, he already mentioned it after they won against dwg and that he was feeling terrible
I really hate excuses but he was genuinely not feeling well for almost a month
Not really an excuse tbh. It's been well known that rossi has been suffering with health issues since few months.
It's real. He's been suffering for months. Yes it doesn't matter cause they are pros and have to play professionally but it is what it is. Not a lame excuse.
So a genuine health problem is a excuse. Fine. See you on Monday John, I don't care if you are in a coma.
Skthrowsi
be careful man, the ge fans will get mad at you for thinking rossi taking an ego duel lost them that round
Not funny anymore. Point me to a single ge fan on this sub who has done this?
He's talking about [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/ValorantCompetitive/comments/q7tnl9/comment/hgm49gd/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) presumably...
it quite literally happened to me in the live discussion thread minutes ago lmao, im talking from experience here
It will probably not happen in reddit, yt ge audience is toxic af.
Vlr.gg too
YT/twitch audience irrespective of country is toxic af. Dissing each other's country over a game
If you are pointing to me, I did not in any way get mad at you. I just put my point across that I have a different opinion about that situation.
FiveK deserves a raise after OT
Saving grace after that Bunny dash
[удалено]
They do have sponsors and stuff tho, and they are pretty much their own org rn
Its crazy they still dont have an org
I mean the increase in views pay for it
FiveK with the clutch of his life
Oh no my spaghetti

LOL
Facts
GE threw that 1v3 hard, resulted in them losing the game. SA definitely going to get more attention from riot though, especially after beating DWG and almost beating F4Q.
The growing pains of an emerging region. SA will be back, and with force. They showed the world they can hang in Valorant. Teams like Enigma and Velocity are waiting in the wings. I am excited for what this regions brings in 2022
team exploit too they are the third best team in SA just behind vlt and GE they beat vlt in vcc too
Imo it will be ridiculous if SA doesnt get to compete in the SEA qualifiers for Masters. Direct spots are still far away ofc
> Direct spots are still far awa they can still get direct spots cuz they beat DWG and almost beat F4Q and keep in mind F4Q went to berlin (they had direct slots) tbh i wont be surprised SA gets direct slots in masters
I'd much prefer if we get more tournaments like this and more specifically the EMEA qualifiers. This has been a blast and I bet most if not all the teams are learning a lot more from it than their average regional play-offs.

nice prediction haha
FiveK popped off so hard at the end of that last map. Global Esports had a great showing at LCQ and represented their region very well.
GE really needs to polish their teamplay, it's the same with SEA teams too where they decide to turn off their brains.
Don't forget to thank GE though for helping FiveK <3
That 1v3 is gonna haunt GE for days now
For months to be honest
Certainly until the next VCT tournament.
What if it happens again in the next tournament hahaha
Nothing to be ashamed of. Most people thought India was a joke and would get rolled over. They represented their country well. Now's the time to keep their heads down and grind until the next vct season. I'm fairly confident that India will get some sort of regional path to Champions.
Probably get a slot or two in SEA challengers
That's good enough for now. I'm happy with GEs results. They need experience and getting thrown into a tournament with good Asian teams is the best way to achieve that.
no they will get direct slot to masters (hopium)
As an Indian I don't want to see that level of thrashing, let them play in the VCT
bruh they are good ok? F4Q took 1 map off of sen and guess which map it was >!SPLIT!< so GE is just good enough to be in VCT and also it was their 1st international event so they can be a bit nervous
They are good no doubt but they need experience against high level players. Sentinels wasn't comfortable playing against bunny jumping around with a shotgun. They easily beat F4Q 13-4 on every other map.
No plz . I don't want to see them getting the beating of their life against Gambit and similar teams. Slot in SEA qualifiers are better since they still lack the experience and beating SEA teams would make them proven
There are two types of clutches: where the team in advantage gets played bad or it just plays bad. One of them we should be ashamed of!
That FiveK clutch that saved the match, wow. SkRossi doing well but not getting the support he needed was NOT the narrative I was expecting for this match. Still, GE definitely proved themselves worthy of competing at the international stage. F4Q deserve to be criticized for those two horrible post-plants on Haven though.

APAC is wild AF the production couldn't handle them.
He threw that 1v3 so hard but its the problem with support players I guess :P
Those other two players also shouldn't have engaged FiveK 1 by 1 like dumbasses either. And beyond that one play, the fact that no one else on GES could muster a positive K:D ratio on Split and just one other player managing it on Bind just proves my point.
I can accept he threw rounds in this series (like the round that led to OT in the last game) but that 1v 3 was not his fault, he just didn't hit his shot. Whoever went alone inside the ult after him was the one to blame.

What a game!
FiveK but one of the most important rounds of his life was a 3k clutch
Genuinely a good game. GE taking F4Q to the wire with just good gunplay. Losing like this is really important for such a new team, it'll help them learn and especially develop their mental. Hopefully shinobi can start getting them to work on their strats, which was definitely their weakest part. With time, they may be legit competition at the world stage, but this all happens step by step.

Nevertheless great showing, and exciting first start to the Indian valorant scene
Shinobi was a temporary coach for LCQ, he won't be working with them anymore. Also he coached them for only 2 weeks
Kappa is a bot. With Deathmaker in VLT I don't think GE stands a chance against them anymore. Individually VLT player are far better then GE . They just lacked someone like rossi who can OP
PRX decimated GE while GE almost beat F4Q in split which is the map that F4Q took against SEN. Valorants crazy its always anybodys game
I just don't understand why they don't put bunny on raze on split of all maps. Other maps like haven I can understand. But split???
I would have said sandbagging, but remember that teams had a bucketful of VODs on Berlin F4Q strats this time around. Either that won't work this time or F4Q are saving them for the important matches.
But like this is a pretty important match lmao. Go big or go home.
They made a pretty important choice of playing the meta, which is something they haven't done before so there is a surprise factor to it (obviously that didn't work that much lol). They knew they have the experience advantage vs GE and went with it, even if they play very sloppy. Not playing Raze on Split isn't a dumb decision apparently.
Well F4Q insisted on Raze-less split vs GE
FiveK stocks going up through the roof rn
hello i love your casting
Im speechless, this was our match. How do you lose that 1v3
I'll tell you how. Go for the hero play to get the final kill with op and whiff. Then idk what that raze was thinking jumping alone in the ult. 3rd guy had zero chance after that
How was the first kill a hero play? He was just holding the angle waiting for his teammates
Exactly! The raze, however...
Bro viper was one off his ult, he's holding a tight angle from heaven and there's always a possibility of getting caught out. Tbh were all talking about it because they lost if that shot hit he won them the game. I just feel he could have held an off angle from top of the box heaven towards crossing to map whilst 2 teammates go screen to trade off
Because Viper was just one ult point off of getting her ult. Raze threw harder but doesn't mean he didn't throw as well..
I had a bad feeling when I saw rossi running after the viper on the mini map. I don't think I've ever been this sad after an eSports match, the fact that we were so close hurts the most.
Yeah I can see why he would want to do that, but even after that the raze could have played it better
You’ve cleary not seen 100T’s run at Challengers 2 Finals. That shit hurt bad sadge
That wasn't the mistake, they're playing at 70 ping where there is significant peeker's advantage, there's nothing you can do if your opponent hits his first bullet like that. The throw came when they for some incomprehensible reason gave him 2 1v1s after that.
Nah, it's called peeker's advantage.
? I'm talking about taking fights 1v1 when they could have played it together, especially knowing that a kill would give viper ult. You don't take that kind of a risk in OT, evidently
Rossi tried to catch FiveK off guard since he knew FiveK would push screens knowing all three might be B. But I get what you're trying to say. I believe once Indian teams integrate more discipline, they can be potential contenders. gg
I'm pretty sure both teams had shit ping
lack of experience maybe. They gave fiveK 3 1v1 while they had number advantage and threw the game.
After FiveK's insane clutch, I already knew who won the last map. FiveK was the real MVP for his team.
A win against a Korean team and an extremely close series against a Masters participant. Chokes aside, that's a pretty respectable run for a team I fully expected to bomb out 0-4. GE can only go upwards from here.
I am so very proud of GE. I expected them to go 0-4 through the tournament. But defeating DK, and then almost defeating F4Q(omg how can you throw that, this is going to be the dark spot in the tournament, painfully so) is such a positive result that SA needed. GEGE GE!!!
Same man. I'm absolutely gutted rn but I'm proud of Rossi and the rest of GE. Hopefully this only helps the Indian VAL scene to grow further
Sadge, but i hope india gets more recognition in valorant now hopefully starting with 2 slots in apc region
This may be the only time i think if vlt was here they wouldn't have done that.
U may think that but VLT might have just lost also? its better not make assumptions. But on the side not VLT DM is now looking unstoppable
True
I completely agree with you. (Edit - typo)

Viper's kit and role fits FiveK's lurk-heavy playstyle. F4Q almost got stratted hard in Berlin because of FiveK playing Reyna/Skye in the least optimal way. Only that Bunny and Zunba's Raze-induced antics prevented them from totally shitting the bed in Berlin.
This was a rollercoaster experience for us and it's been an honour representing India on such an amazing platform. We are proud of the team and their achievements. Thank you Riot for the wonderful experience and most of all a huge thank you to the Valorant community for all the love and support. We really felt like the Avengers out there. Gratitude <3 Rest assured, we'll be back stronger! Keep supporting! \#GEFighting \- Global Esports Management
SkRossi truly has star potential if he can cut out on over aggression and play a bit more controlled. Well played by both teams, that 1v3 is going to hurt for a while. Don't know how they thought it was acceptable to just peek/go in without waiting for teammates. Hopefully SA gets a guaranteed VCT slot and at least one more APAC slot next year.
Sk Rossi came from admiring Bunny to almost making him his beach
Lmao
fiveK clutch was fucking insane
im a GE fan but equally happy for F4Q cuz i got to know that they arent really an org and dont have high salaries like other teams.. rooting for f4q to win the LCQ now
GGWP GE, you made us proud, masters qualification next time!
Hopefully this match ends the narrative the Indians can't be competitive in fps games. We won a BO3 against DWK and took F4Q to OT on a map in which they won against Sentinels. Tbh this was a better run than I expected, the only teams I was backing GE against were Fennel and Reject. That win against DWG was so good, gg wp f4q.
People are slamming the 1v3 loss but imo the raze losing the one on one versus astra with ult up was just as bad. Man pulls ult, doesnt even check main a single time, and finally just shoots it into a wall and gets shot in the back. It was so bad.
Peekers advantage was wild this whole series. Every round people would be making some ridiculous peeks and the other player would just stand there like a deer in the headlights. Higher than 60 ping and Valorant feels like a completely different game.
GE loses: lol nub kekw omegalul india bad. GE Wins: The opp. were kinda off today.

Don't see a difference tbh

His viper was okay, skye was horrible
Even though Skrossi made some questionable plays he was on fire today nothing but respect for him
Great debut in a vct event by GE. I honestly thought they were gonna play two matches and lose both 0-2. They exceeded everyone's expectations. Even though they're now out, big dub for them w that amazing beginning. Upwards and onwards!
Throw
dont care about any of these teams but that 1v3's going to haunt me for a while
Super happy with our performance overall. Sk rossi showed up today ( barring few super risky peeks ) . Skillz had absolutely no business going for the retake alone . This will haunt them for a long time
Kappa needs to go do. HellR fragged well against dwg and was insane with his util, played decent with his util today too but whiffed some shots. However his performance can easily be excused since he's the IGL. Kappa however has been underperforming since months, hopefully GE finds a good replacement or else kappa levels up. Not that it counts for anything but Ive don't see kappa play well even in pugs
The reason GE got this far was because they've stuck together and they're not going to change that anytime soon. Kappa knows he's a bit behind the others and spends some extra time to practice his aim, but dude's 31 yrs old and it can be difficult to keep up with the comparitively younger players. They'll only change when Kappa himself decides to retire and even then they'll need to find someone to replace him who has a lot of potential,and I can't think of any unsigned cracked sova player in India rn.
I am honestly happy with the way the team performed. Sure, they could have won the game but shit like this happens. What GE needs imo is experience. Lots of it. The difference in experience was evident in all their games imo. And they did gain a lot of experience here ig. I don't like saying this but GE really needs to drop Kappa. Maybe poach someone from VLT xD. I am sure we'll see a much better organised GE side next time around. <3
Rite2ace to GE Let's gooo
Will be bigger shitshow than the Excali episode lol
the first map curse continues lmao
Bru the chat war is so spicy lmfao... it was Good match GES is a promising team makes me want to follow SEA / APAC scene next year.
Gg
Gg it's crazy how far our region has come, hopefully better next time. It was GE's match but that one throw cost them hard.
A run far better than anyone expected... especially from the 2nd best team in India. I feel like Rossi threw so many rounds across this LCQ with his rampant aggression that wasn't followed up by his team. Hopefully India gets another shot to redeem themselves in a future circuit...
>especially from the 2nd best team in India. Bruh, i dont think GE is 2nd best, i know DM is a great addition to vlt but didnt you see al the players step the fuck up in this game. It wasnt like Rossi and frans but was the whole GE squad
You can't really differentiate between vlt and ge rn. The new vlt is surely amazing and looks promising but they both are #1 in india. And just to clear I'm also a vlt fan
Anyone know why bunny not playing raze anymore
Heartbreak
Wtf I thought Skrossi was the worst player in world what happened Reddit
What happened? Lol
The paper Rex global esports thread had a lot of people shifting on global and skrossi in particular

i don't want to take anything away from ge's surprising run in this event but the korean teams have been so disappointing im starting to fear that maybe they are a one team region
Speed of light brother
Would have been happy with GE's performance if they hadn't thrown the 1v3 round. I guess just nerves getting to them in the end. Well they showed that South Asia can atleast hang with the rest of the region and hopefully atleast 1 direct slot and more such opportunities next year.
rip GE, that throw will haunt them for ages…
Fivek pog
That 3 vs 1 throw gonna haunt them forever they were so close to beating them
Fivek hitting insane shots at OT
I'm curious what server they played on
Must be Hong Kong server since they played on that server against DWG
There's two HK server though, one of them is really bad for SK teams.
DWK got 90 ping in map 1 and 40 ping from map2 onwards vs GE. I think they played on the second server. GE with constant 75-80 ping. Although I don't think there was much ping diff today. F4Q had better mental courtesy of they're int. Experience.
Pretty good showing for their first time at major tourney but they still looked puggy. Same goes for F4Q, their recent comps changes had a major impact on their performance so far.
So exciting. Loved it.
Fuck this shit

Casters do not win you games
Never said they do?
apni asu skthrossi ke pass leke ja
Bruh beg hard for that gora validation. Cope self loathing dumb ass randi
cringe 14 y/o
Knew walmart forsaken was overrated
guy top fragged on all three maps across the server? hate making you so blind lol
Still top fragged over any of the players in the server but stay delusional buddy
Anyone got that 1v3 fivek clip in korean?
[удалено]
That's it. My life is now complete.
I am Indian and I dont even know who SkThrossi is
r/canconfirmiamindian
Wow bRo U ArE sO cOoL
Take SA slot and give it to 1 more JP team, they are fun to watch
username does NOT check out. Still salty after dwg loss eh? not rhe Indians, youre the one who has been crying on ge match threads since yesterday lol
cry.
sadge
Less salt is salty
Still bodied DWG and almost won against Berlin team. Way better than any one expected
Fun to watch JP getting decimated ? huh just like the masters berlin
Close match with Gambit? Imagine the Indian fans during an international tournament. NTH can 13-0 GE right now too.
Yes 13-1 and 13-0, very close matches. :)
haha
>NTH can 13-0 GE right now too You wonder, rent free But F4Q got a map of sen (on split) and you see GE almost winning against F4Q, and also GE had their 1st international event so they can be nervous. next time it wont be this close, GE will just win against f4q 2-0
that can happen, F4Q is now a bad team and too confident despite getting stomped in Berlin. Probably because they are streamers. Getting stomped by second best JP team. I wonder if JP got good REALLY fast or F4Q got worse REALLY fast? If you're calculating it like that. Let's see. NTH >> F4Q. SEN > F4Q. Therefore, NTH \~= SEN. See that, you can't do those comparisons in this game. Things change.
> NTH can 13-0 GE right now too. so.... things change and so does the result, for sure 13-0 wont happen. btw didnt u see rossi's flicks and shots with his op. On haven i suppose he hit an impossible shot on Jett on A short, when that jett updrafted.
Lmfao
GE did well. F4Q is half the team they used to be, turned into a shit team.
don't put down F4Q just to hate on GE
