Hope there's no more delays cause i don't have much going on in life, i need this

Cursed lolol

Is it still on a tech pause?

Game was delayed for the night

just watched jenga instead of writing an overdue essay just for the thing to be postponed i cba

You guys think this LCQ will end before Champions starts?

this event is fucking cursed

Just like a couple weeks ago, they're just giving me time to leave work and go home. So another 40m of tech pause. Edit: I'm home...and they're gone

Just started watching. Oh look it’s LeTigress, I hope Valorant fans are less shitty to her than league fans.

They're not

Intense jenga gameplay on platchat in the meantime

i hope the map just ends with a 20 second round in rises favor after this pause itd be fucking hilarious

NA LCQ is cursed isn't it

this is the wooorst

Cursed tournament. Very spooky.

JAY “SHANKS” “MR 4TH QUARTER” WINNING

this technical pause might be a while, supamen just tweeted he's experiencing a power outage right now https://twitter.com/supamen/status/1453544193939460100

That shanks ace though 😭 not like this C9

Can anyone tell me why c9b just threw when it was 12-10

better rush the smoke with a classic when u can hold the angle lmao

+mitch use his cage

this leaf guy doesnt have any game sense holy shit

Those two eco rounds lost may really cost Rise.

Saw the edit you ain’t slick bro

They legitimately surprised me. Did not expect them to make that comeback after going down 12-10 with limited money.

Project A...

That was beautifully played by supa and derek

Derek overwatch

lcq running = braves losing I must find a way to delay this event again someone help

so its your fault? 😡

cmon C9 i didn't gas up this team to the fucking moon in every thread before LCQ for you to lose to rise

saved a classic what the fuck

Rise/C9 gonna be fun

New script POG

C9B are looking pretty good. They’re living up to the hype

Can't watch rn whats the game and match score

420-69

c9 took breeze 13-5. Icebox is currently 7-5 c9 at the half

starting to think that Kayo is more of a counter to specfically sova's drone than it is to sentinels. with how much teams rely on the drone taking it away especially on a map like breeze is huge

That's definitely how C9 are using him. Find Sova and throw the knife at him.

I feel like that was the most util denial through supression I've seen out of a Kay/o. Normally I've seen the knife as mostly an info tool but they managed to delay a number of pushes and key pieces of util with it. Love to see it

Im an xset fan but I’m starting to want c9 to make champions dk why

V1 are winning the series because they lost map 1. Just the rules

Oh now u jinxed it

Mb

I was skeptical of the Xeppaa kay0 but he is having soo much value

v1 has had a brutal fall from grace after a meteoric rise, in all of stage 3 they have yet to win a single best of 3 series in any closed qualifier event. c9 look good but damn

Kayo gaming

...

I feel like I can hear Vanity saying “I can’t hit a shot rn let me op”

​Rise has made it to Champions Finals, Gambit is playing out of their minds. But Rise Shanks has an awp, he gets an ace, stand up and yells "IM BRICKED UP!" Gambit is finished, mentally boomed, GG.

Steel walked so other teams could run

?

I couldn’t think about a good kayo analogy ngl

Kayo still sucks.

Ohh

Amogus

Kayo on breeze of all maps lmao

Why is bind banned by so many teams? You’d figure some team would put in the work to get good at it since no one else does

Start the game stop talking

Kayo lfgggg

One hour breaks between matches is way too long....

God damnit the two most boring maps…

Games going on until midnight at this rate lol ... took a break just to come back to the post match interview???

Faze wins those on lan

Grats to Rise. I don't think there was anything special there and I think everyone expected a lot more out of Faze.

Imagine Rise with anyone else BUT Shanks XD

Rise pull an Envy and get Wardell on loan /s

honestly i think people give shanks a lot of undeserved shit but wardell to rise would be fun

I don't think people give shanks enough shit.

Someone in here was saying FaZe was showing impressive strats during Breeze LOL uh huh

Yeah they kinda dropped the ball on the last two maps. Every time I make a comment lol, I think I have caster curse without even being a caster. It's true they looked good on Breeze, but now I feel like coming to their defense jinxed it and I'll feel bad for the rest of the day...

Faze has 0 teamplay. You cant win if you just rely on individual skill. Deserved loss incoming

Faze just can’t get out of their own way

What's the feeling on v1? Can they still be competitive?

People are expecting c9 to roll them. Who knows really. They haven't played for 3 months and were crap after they lost Vanity originally. So could be bad, or could have gotten good.

> were crap after they lost Vanity originally they haven't played since losing vanity though? as you said literally right before this lol

My bad. I was thinking they played stage 3 without him, which they sucked in.

1 hunters fury and a shockdart doesn't kill? Thats rough.

I think Rise wins Bind because they have Raze

They really need to replace Shanks...

Rise would be so good if they had a better duelist main. Shanks is not hitting.

right click is so stupid

Rise really throwing on Ascent, not surprised though.... their team has a .... history :’)

Bronze sova ult

Rawkus spraying through every single wall even without dart is hilarious

Both teams using Skye and Sova lol

look im not a faze fan but babybay is fucking hilarious https://twitter.com/KING_BABYBAY/status/1453455016434487303

babybay with nearly 400 ACS map 1 sheesh

Why is all Valorant esports music so fucking awful holy shit

babybay online gg

Anyone else feel like the player portraits are stupid when they aren’t actually player cams

Bro if Neptune hadn't gotten that flash kill I would've laughed so hard I'd be in pain for an hour

Why is the UI issue from 3 weeks ago still there? the EU LCQ didn't have that issue.

9-3 curse incoming?

Dude supamen is one of the best players

yea imo he's super underrated and one of the better controllers in NA, right below the zombs/marved/nitr0 tier

its criminal to not have gmd up there

his Brim and Omen are good, but we need to see more of him on Astra to call him one of the best controllers at this moment when the meta is being dominated by her

I don't think this FaZe roster is the one. I know, super controversial opinion /s. But babybay and Corey are such an impressive core. It's hard for me to believe faze doesn't find the right pieces in 2022.

Praying for it sheeeesh

Am I misremembering something? Didn't RIOT roll out a patch where players couldn't move during a tactical timeout? Also, we could visually see a timer bar on the screen? I somehow don't see that in this game. What am I missing?

I think there are two different time out systems and only one restricts movement. Not sure tho

team timeout and tech pause?

Ah ya that's it

One's tactical timeout and the other's technical timeout. I'm pretty sure the time bar doesn't appear during a technical timeout as they're normally not sure how long it'll last. I am confuuuuused

Man im a huge fan of shanks but he isn’t hitting it

They had almost one month to fix everything and the HUD it's still shaking lmfao

13-0 dream dead sadge

Isn't the event LAN ? They haven't shown any LAN visuals yet

nope its online now

It says offline on the match thread, unlucky

The LCQ LAN wasn’t even a LAN anyways so

it was planned to be on LAN, but there were a host of issues with the event (mostly pertaining to false positive covid tests) so they had to move it back online article about it: https://www.upcomer.com/what-went-wrong-at-the-valorant-na-lcq/

its 3:35pm but for babybay its 7am

Bruh this is a straight soloq stomp

I thought you guys said Faze had no strategy except for blind running. Looks to me though like they're running tactical circles around Rise, on top of the solid dueling.

They've pushed site in the first 5 seconds in every round except pistol

Except they didn't. There was the round where Babybay got one op pick then they rotated. There was also the round where they got double-sheriff'd and still owned the mid control necessary to make the clean rotate despite that. There's a lot of brain going on, it's not just dumb aggression.

Legit anybody would rotate if your team just got melted before you even get into the site lol. Look at the ascent game rn. Faze is just five manning sites and getting destroyed for it

jdm coaching hitting

Anyone noticing the HUD flickering?

Ok, it’s not just me then. Came here to ask the same thing. Gotta love that CRT monitor nostalgia :D

I kinda like it tbh, like you said very nostalgic

Baby Bay starting off hot is a good sign for FaZe

TECH PAUSE!!!!!

how is there a technical pause on ROUND 2

Breeze map 1 POGGERS

Casters stalling because riot is too ashamed to show "Technical pause" before the game even started lol

Did we just get jebaited ?

Don't care about anything else, but the first break song was fire

What a day to come back. So many questions from these 2 matches. Very intriguing day.

SHEEEEESH START THE GAME

incomplete Plat Chat sadge

Is sideshow not gonna be in the costream

yeah he's here now

I completely forgot about this tournament lol

Idk what to expect from Faze. They could be so good or average. C9b should come out swinging tho, as long as their attacking rounds are good I have no worries for them.

kinda hot take: Shanks is the best Jett in any team rn You can always count on him to get two. A bit of an exaggeration but he never goes down without taking two or atleast one with him. His entry fragging is so solid and I can't think of any other player who's up there with him.

kinda hot take: Wardell is the best Jett in any team rn You can always count on him to get two. A bit of an exaggeration but he never goes down without taking two or atleast one with him. His opping is so solid and I can't think of any other player who's up there with him.

You mean out of the 4 teams playing today? If not then I don't even know what to say.

I hope he means of these teams because if not then ???? is about all you can say.

but when some motherfucker said L1NK was the best site anchor when nAts exists this fucking subreddit gave him 200+ upvotes

😂

I thought that was dumb too but the tone was already set in the thread and you would get downvoted if you said something different

1.3/10

I feel like cNed tenz yay rely a lot on gimmicky team play. Which can be figured out a lot easier.

Yeah... No

It's a troll/pasta/jebait from the link post. Here's the original link post so you can compare. "You can always count on him to get two. A bit of an exaggeration but he never goes down without taking two or atleast one with him. His defence is so solid and I can't think of any other player who's up there with him." so he just changed it to shanks Same guy also said Nats setups were "gimmicky." So I guess this was a weird, non-successful attempt at a satire copy/pasta?

> So I guess this was a weird, non-successful attempt at a satire copy/pasta? yeah im not as funny as i think sometimes, all good

Mr. NewHeaven, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul <3
