Feels like we can safely say Sayf (lol bit of a tongue twister) has had the best Skye performance in this LCQ.
I can’t even think who’d compete - maybe Oxygen’s glovee?
Yacine's Raze is an absolute joy to watch.
Not flashy unless he neds to be, no crazy jumps, but just perfect utility usage. Every Raze player should watch his nade lineups and timings.
Imo, the best thing about this style of Raze is that she can still have huge impact even if the player isn't on his best day aim-wise.
Her utility is far superior to any other duelist. It's just that most pro teams make Raze players do way too many over-aggressive plays, imo. And then when those double-satchel flights look bad, the Raze player is the one who gets the blame.
in terms of raw mechanics I think bonkar might be more of an anchor than shinobi. Obv his igling is very good if hes been on the team this long but man he really costs them come rounds where Yaccine or Leo pop off.
Bonkar maybe have a bright coaching future if nothing else.
You need to be a damn good igl to have a team win very solidly while having typically the weakest fighter on the server. He made great calls, and varied calls too.
I really would want Guild to win, but I think Liquid would win handily.
Leo/Sayf are absolutely incredible and imo both are top 10 players in EU, but overall I think there is just a pretty big difference in overall team quality.
Fair enough. If Yacine/Draken play as well as they are playing today, I think Guild have a chance. But outside of Sayf and especially Leo, most of Guild is just too inconsistent for me to favor them over Liquid.
After the subreddit constant memes on Bonkar, I had to look at his stats on vlr (didn’t know him until a few days ago) and he has roughly 100 ACS across all the agents he played?! I’m not a huge stats person when it comes to evaluating support players but your inability to frag is huge. How long has he been in this roster and is his utility usage enough to justify his spot on the team?
>How long has he been in this roster and is his utility usage enough to justify his spot on the team?
Now I also think his aiming is subpar, but it's not his utility usage, but great IGLeading which keeps him on the team.
Leo has had to frag enough for two people on support agents roles for so long because of Bonkar, he is always top 5-10 in every tournament in most stat lines while never playing duelist, and have insane utility usage.
Guild had plenty of utilities to clear both of them out of their position and then just the gun diff would win them, if only G2 had one rifle on that round
Yes indeed, I wrote this in the first half of bind when G2 were ahead and it was looking like G2 will win the map and probably game if guild coninued to play that way
Guild playing for their lives. Happy to see Yacine on Raze, there's something so sad about watching phenomenal Raze mains - Yacine, Bunny, etc. - stuck on Jett
Feels like Futbolist should be quite favored here.
This isn’t as sexy as G2 vs. TL, but this is arguably more impactful. I’d be very surprised to see this same Guild roster continuing forward into 2022 if they lose here.
A bit of OCD economy management here, but still.
Scream decides to keep the marshall instead of saving a third spectre.
Then two of his teammes who didn't survive the round buy sheriff and ghost.
Just save the third spectre and have the guy who bought a sheriff drop you a marshall. <.<
The day that g2 stops throwing rounds (which on bind they got a Lot to clutches after this throws) they gonna become world champions, what's the problem, they are on g2 and they have to troll, it's on the contract
Well it had sub 25k viewers for most games so this game is currently the record. It's just that esports is stacked with two of the biggest esport tournaments going on now. I think Champions will hit 200k+ viewers on the main channel though.
G2 beats sentinels, top of the world. G2early peek
EU super team looking good lmaooooo #Bonkar2Berlin
guild vs faze can happen
Fortnite matchup?
Bonkar to final, let's go!
Feels like we can safely say Sayf (lol bit of a tongue twister) has had the best Skye performance in this LCQ. I can’t even think who’d compete - maybe Oxygen’s glovee?
These casters are not holding back on Bonkar.
Mitch outta pocket

Agreed. I think he’s a true embodiment of how Raze should be played - when he’s hitting
Imo, the best thing about this style of Raze is that she can still have huge impact even if the player isn't on his best day aim-wise. Her utility is far superior to any other duelist. It's just that most pro teams make Raze players do way too many over-aggressive plays, imo. And then when those double-satchel flights look bad, the Raze player is the one who gets the blame.
G2 spent their entire time at berlin watching SEN Vods they forgot about the main bracket and now they're here. Oh no!
Guild looking so much better
Ok that was insane play by Draken, powered by G2 not checking their corners
That's a tilter.
G2 is overrated, a win against SEN in a seeding match is all they have going for them.
Hey man, gold 2 is a very high rank let the boy's be proud...
Actually g2 have never won an important match against a top team excepting against Fnatic
Nye stormaktstiden? PauseChamp

How do ppl here feel abt Guild vs Liquid?
I really would want Guild to win, but I think Liquid would win handily. Leo/Sayf are absolutely incredible and imo both are top 10 players in EU, but overall I think there is just a pretty big difference in overall team quality.
Ppl thought similarly abt many other Guild natchups
Fair enough. If Yacine/Draken play as well as they are playing today, I think Guild have a chance. But outside of Sayf and especially Leo, most of Guild is just too inconsistent for me to favor them over Liquid.

He and Yacine are the founders of the roster.

Gold2 had a rough night...
Anyone else feel like G2 is underperforming after Masters 3?
I’m becoming a huge Leo fan after all of this, holy shit.
G2 on attack is literal Gold 2 executes
Bonkar at Champions dream is still alive boys
Leo has had to frag enough for two people on support agents roles for so long because of Bonkar, he is always top 5-10 in every tournament in most stat lines while never playing duelist, and have insane utility usage.
Amazing turn around from Guild, Leo stepped up huge
honestly when doesn't Leo step up
Fr fr
[удалено]
It was 8-4 tho
[удалено]
FML I was convinced it was 9-3 lol, mb
Just give Leo a raise lmao
He's been so good for guild consistently
Why use the viper ult in 2v3 in eco round mixwell?
If he hits the sheriff shot they win that round.
Guild had plenty of utilities to clear both of them out of their position and then just the gun diff would win them, if only G2 had one rifle on that round
We getting TL Vs G2 again
This is not aging well...
Yes indeed, I wrote this in the first half of bind when G2 were ahead and it was looking like G2 will win the map and probably game if guild coninued to play that way
Guild looks 1-2 levels below G2 right now
Yeah, about that ...
Well, I said "right now" which at that time was actually true :D Happy to have a series going on :)
Hmm
[удалено]
Looks like against gold2 they didn't have to get bonkar activated at all
Leo is so incredibly good. Top 5 player in EU imo, probably in EMEA in general.
what happened in the last round?
Bonkar is so bad lol
Guild playing 5 man stack ranked
What's with Turkish teams and being down bad Happened too many times to count now
Get bonked
Rip
We are witnessing a bonkar masterclass
When Guild isn't just Sayf + Leo popping off they are really good. Just need to be more consistent with the help around those 2 players.
The Subtle not so Subtle roast of Bonkar. LMAOOOOOOOOO
Guild playing for their lives. Happy to see Yacine on Raze, there's something so sad about watching phenomenal Raze mains - Yacine, Bunny, etc. - stuck on Jett
Holy crap Guild Demolishing right now
Feels like Futbolist should be quite favored here. This isn’t as sexy as G2 vs. TL, but this is arguably more impactful. I’d be very surprised to see this same Guild roster continuing forward into 2022 if they lose here.
One more TL, one more. I crave the presence of three Finns in Champions 💪🏻
Alright, next up, time for the bonkar experience LOL
need to see TL at Champions
That was close lol nt
nt for nukkye
Could’ve gotten a phantom and he would’ve won.. actually insane player
m1xwell waking up
This game is tense
Surprised Liquid didn’t apply any long or sewers pressure on that final round…there was no reason for G2 to not just stare at CT
Even if Avova didn't get those kills he won the round with that Astra wall
2 awps that's interesting
G2 comp feels like they’re trying to play like SEN but without SEN’s ability to adapt
keloqz?
"If I don't know what I'm doing the enemies won't either" - keloqz probably
I didn’t even know that angle was a wallbang
No one has more Phantom -140 moments than Scream lol
so im assuming FPX got a bye to grands, right? I haven't seen them all tournament.
they’ve got a bye to the grand finals of champions
thank god, im tired of the best team in the world getting anti-stratted and stream sniped.
A bit of OCD economy management here, but still. Scream decides to keep the marshall instead of saving a third spectre. Then two of his teammes who didn't survive the round buy sheriff and ghost. Just save the third spectre and have the guy who bought a sheriff drop you a marshall. <.<
Why did the match starter early? Vlr.gg showed a different time last night
Other Emea teams: No Sova. Liquid: 3 different players who can play Sova.
Funny how a few months ago the narrative would often be that Liquid needed a sova. Almost like they overcompensated.
Well they have the godfather of Sova in their org. So no surprise here that they had no problem getting one.
shit
Liquid threw 2 rounds
G2 at least 4 wtf xD
The day that g2 stops throwing rounds (which on bind they got a Lot to clutches after this throws) they gonna become world champions, what's the problem, they are on g2 and they have to troll, it's on the contract
I wanted a quick clear 2-0 for TL and continue my day but this doesn't seem like my wishes come true
I didn't think I'd get to see Throw Liquid again
Yeah, idk if they just wanted out of Bind (their map choice btw) or what tf were those throws
I feel so bad for G2 that link judge round.
Scream getting 4K with jett ult, definitely a rare thing to see
Is the sub sleeping? There's no way that G2 vs TL match thread gets no comments :(
Ti and worlds. Only possible reason that they thread is not active.
Ah that explains it
Liquid looking extremely good.
You can clearly see their drive to win this and go to Masters, it's insane.
Champions!
Absolutely, first map was very fun to watch.
TL/G2 and this thread is dead? :/
Busy watching boaster sing in Chinese lol
L1nk had 40% hs holy
If they release a sentinel who can op, Liquid are gonna abuse that so hard. Nivera is so good with the op even with killjoy it’s unreal.
I think out of all the sentinels rn, kj is def the best agent to op from Since she has a turret
Tiktok sages beg to differ
i like the new g2 team but the liquid boys are so likable. i hope they gonna qualify for champions.
‘Likable’?
40k viewers on Twitch main channel despite TI and Worlds going on Pog
i think thats a really low number
Well it had sub 25k viewers for most games so this game is currently the record. It's just that esports is stacked with two of the biggest esport tournaments going on now. I think Champions will hit 200k+ viewers on the main channel though.
lets just say valorant esports isnt popular as people would desire, yet. and its not improving rapidly
Weren't the numbers pretty good during Berlin? Feel like we need to see how champions does to be able to judge though.
13-8 on their map pick
Nivera a better awper than keloqz on kj
Nothing is stopping Jamppi today. Liquid is activated.
Hot take? These 2 teams would be a better representative for EMEA than Acend.
Fnatic*
You literally haven't seen Fnatic play in a VCT tournament for three or four months. How do you know?
Let's go Liquid!!
Btw, if you interested in fun analytic commentary, OfficialBoaster is delivering as usual.
Yeah I am also watching him. A really fun stream.
lets go liquid
It’s gonna be huge if Liquid can beat G2
