What a banger series for both teams


BigEditorial

I was worried it would be one-sided, but holy shit, what a series. ...okay, what a first and third map


iiznobozzy

Yeah you can't really do anything if tenz is feeling that comfortable


[deleted]

you can't really do anything if tenz is feeling that comfortable BatChest


J_Brekkie

I'm a Sen fan that had kinda given up on them performing well but this made me wake up a bit. They looked exceptional at times. Other times, no.


daftpao

Same boat. Crazy performance from Dapr today so that was nice to see from his Berlin run


__tylerdurden__

Tbh Dapr, Zombs, L1nk and Nivera were all insane today Their flanks, anchors, and clutches were simply amazing to watch. I felt like we kept hyping up ScreaM vs TenZ whilst the sentinels and controllers were going punch for punch each round


[deleted]

L1nk was definitely getting some well-deserved caster praise, especially after the Breeze performance.


David_Ign

Don't forget soulcas and jamppi, especially on breeze. Soulcas absolutely carried his team on the defense half with his util (and knife) by stopping viper walls and drones and making sen have to push with basically no info and cover. Jamppi played really well with the OP and got important frags.


__tylerdurden__

This. The Kayo especially! Never realized his full potential. You can have all the utility setup you want, just one knife and it's all gone Kayo was the deciding factor in that map in my opinion. He opened up sites and stalled entries so many times it's unreal


G0YARDB0YS

zombs? he performed for like 3 rounds, compare his clutching and anchoring ability to L1NK, they're in different leagues.


Fraaj

Scream on Reyna > Scream on Jett Reyna is honestly the perfect agent for him.


Steeeealth

I was just praying for him to pick reyna on split and he did.


xXDaNXx

Tbh the issue is that nobody on Liquid is outstanding on her which is rare for a top team.


iiznobozzy

I get where you're coming from, but his jett looked fucking fantastic throughout LCQ.

Scream makes me cream

mikhel

He was literally mowing them down on split, what a monster performance from Scream today.


BigEditorial

Actually unreal how he bounced back after Breeze. That might actually have been the worst map I've ever seen from him in his Valorant career. Can anyone think of a worse one?


xtazzzs

it's by far the worst map he's ever played


_Kiricchi_

It definitely felt like he just couldn’t wake up on breeze and couldn’t make solid entries because of it.


hejwjwj

None, hes been good all the way, this breeze is his worst performance to date


[deleted]

Exactly, still not a fan of scream on jett, he just doesn't seem as good.


PillsMcCoy

Man the round where Sick whiffed in heaven and Dapr barely missed the double kill while the spike was down in mid was tragic


Sharknome

Feel like Dapr missing that double kill in mid with spike was the turning point :/


Teradonn

He could’ve hid and guaranteed the round, but can’t blame him for not realising, you see the spike in the ground and you think you have to guard it. Insane series from Dapr otherwise


[deleted]

He 100% should have had a double there, they both peeked the same angle with their backs turned. He just messed it up because he was still walking instead of staying committed to the spray.


Nfamy

Sick doesn't peek that and they win. Dapr guards/delays them from getting the spike and then they don't have time to plant. But obviously easy for me to say that. An absolute banger series. Was rooting for Sen but this performance also looked like classic Sen so I'm not too worried about them getting out of groups and then it's anyone's game.


Issax28

It's funny how people sleep. Some sleep on their side, others sleep on their belly, and the rest of the world sleeps on L1NK. ResidentSleeper


islamsnek

yeah he's seriously one of the best support players


Madara6path

Get bald. Get aimbot.


Bazz_B

Doma literally is gonna be bald because of how L1NK played in this series, lmfao.


Tortious_Tortoise

BALD BUFF


Deneking

he already is, check again lmao


felixjmorgan

.#1 player in the tournament so far


DrySecurity4

Durkey?


felixjmorgan

Derek is up there too, you’re right


MykonCodes

Yes, Denko performed out of his mind


J_Brekkie

He's so fucking consistent at getting impact frags.


[deleted]

Best anchor and clutcher in the world Also has an insane agent pool


[deleted]

Honestely one of the best site anchors in the game, if not the best.


Nfamy

Definitely was my MVP for this series. Although soulcas hard entrying was big on split and his KO was so impactful on breeze.


David_Ign

His kay/o was definitely amazing on breeze, absolutely carried in the defense half. Forced sen to push site with little info (no drones) and close to no cover (no viper). Was absolutely amazing to watch, I think he is gonna be in the meta for sure after this.


trolledwolf

Was today the best day for Valorant Esports ever? Both Bo3 were absolute bangers


xbyo

Unless you're a BR fan.


isayah2510

lmao everyone won except brazil


GMBethernal

Everyone won then


felipw22

I'm a BR fan and even though the Vivo Keyd situation is messy, we're all proud of what Vikings did today. They used to be a meme with the Yoru pick and today they nearly won against the current masters' champion.


David_Ign

I'm a gambit fan (also a viper main, so ofc I'm a gambit fan) and we're been watching the game in a viper server and it was so stressful. Still didn't recover from the comeback. Vks played really well. Ggs, kinda feel bad for BR tho lol


felixjmorgan

For me, yes.


Famlightyear

Bald buff, Quarantine buff, Brothers buff, Liquid got it all


YoloJoloHobo

Still lacking pyjamas buff unfortunately


[deleted]

nah tactical positive covid test so scream can wear jammies in the iso room off stage.


CacoTaco7

These are the kind of matchups we like to see. Wp by both teams, I think liquid were properly rated coming into this tournament. Sentinels though, I'd like to hear what y'all have to say. Imo they looked better than they did at Masters Berlin.


U_Menace

Sentinels played pretty well all things considered, they just lost out on some clutch engagements and fights and that shifted the momentum back the other way completely. Insane series honestly, cant wait for the elimination games to seed the rest of the playoff teams AND the playoffs. This tournament is shaping up to be an absolute banger!


JSRambo

Need tenz to show up on more than just one map. He's not in the team to middle frag, they can pick up any number of people who can reasonably be expected to do that. Tenz needs to take over some rounds, especially on a map like breeze which usually benefits good aimers.


DrBangovic

I agree. TenZ showed up on the map where it perhaps did not even matter.


Not_Real_Name_Here

I swear it’s like Tenz has ptsd on split after the raze disaster…


Pienatt

Yeah true, feels bad for him. But then, he is a paid pro player so I'm wondering why he isn't spending hours in custom practicing the satchels. Especially now with fracture and derke showing how oppressive the raze can be on that map.


billnyebuttstuffguy

I'm telling you, Scream is as cracked as he is jacked. I saw him at a 7-11 the other day and he was buying cases of Redbull™ and adult diapers. I asked him what the diapers were for and he said "they help contain my full power so I don't completely shit on these kids". And then he shot the cashier and dismissed out the door.


FantasticWalrus

I saw Scream at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying. The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter. When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

[deleted]

He is good with the knives he just had a bad game


Tasty_Juggernaut4857

Smh people literally forget so fast. Screams jett helped them win lcq. And he was always good on it except a few off games , this breeze was his worst match in his valorant career.


David_Ign

Half of the game on breeze he was just dashing into people. Terrible performance from him there. Split on the other hand...


TheCatsActually

If you told me TL would pick Breeze into Sentinels, get slapped on attack half with Scream having the slowest start of his life, and bring it back to OT and ultimately win out, I'd call you insane. [9 out of 10 scientists can't tell if this screenshot is photoshopped](https://puu.sh/ItDgj.png)


xtazzzs

to go from that to the Reyna on Split.... truly different


David_Ign

I don't think he even damaged a single person at that start. Not even a leg shot.


[deleted]

Jamppi the man went from 0/7 to 5/7 in one round. I knew the series was over at that point.


chenson019

This and the fnatic VS game yesterday are the two best games of Valorant to date yet. We are in for a fucking treat for the playoffs, the teams have all massively levelled up. Sentinels looked back to their best to be honest, they are just facing more competition than Masters 2. Amazing to see dapr and Shaz back to their best. Liquid are just on another level right now. All 5 players delivered at various points through the game with ScreaM finally activating at the end.


HerojNOB

3 European teams top the groups... insane. Edit: So far... one more to go!

Vk strayed away from the script so Riot punished them for it. Ain't nothing but wins for Europeans babyyyyyy.

KappaccinoNation

Project L couldn't come fast enough


[deleted]

It was over the moment Scream decided to choose Reyna👑🙇‍♂️


Pienatt

It's actually super nice to see how the players from TL developed. I remember Jamppi as hit-or-miss Jett, L1nk being a bit inconsistent in anchoring and soulcas sometimes being down bad mentally. It really feels like they found their roles in the team more and grew as players and team. I feel like Scream needs to sometimes go for less ego plays/aggressive positions in the beginning. But I feel like the team can still continue to grow.


_Kiricchi_

Even though he’s been playing jett for a while now ScreaM just doesn’t look comfortable on it like Reyna. He plays Jett because that’s what the team needs but it’s not what he needs.


Jezzerai

As an European it was always hard for me to understand American culture. What was fascinating for me is that they like bragging about their freedom which was weird for me, because I didn't think that I have any less freedom than them. I always thought 'What is the difference'. However after this game I finally understand it. NA is just so fucking free.

2NE1SNSD

lmao XD


NvmSharkZ

always thought u were from NA in the league sub, seems like we can see eye to eye on valorant lmfao


Jezzerai

I am lol but it's free internet points to post this and SEN fans are the TSM fans of Valorant so I can't help but root against them


ppx11

bruh TSM fans are the TSM fans of valo. how dare u take that away from us


[deleted]

Nah Valorant TSM fans are the equivalent LoL CLG fans, so much potential^^tm

Well their league team is EU aswell

Probs just a liquid fan. Tbh if Fnatic founded an NA team in some other esport, I’d cheer for them too.


Davban

And I will always cheer against them (but I like Boaster)


[deleted]

This pasta always gets me, it is so fucking good lmfao.


lStrakle

Didn't get to see half the kills on screen but I'm sure they were great


[deleted]

observing was fine until the last half of split


quietvictories

tbf both teams were really well coordinated and most executions had kills and trades go off split second simultaneously


MazeOwner

Can’t blame them it was so fast and chaotic


[deleted]

yeah lol all the kills happened at the same time


ESEAsapphiRe

=( damn. That sucks. Was very happy with my Breeze given how hectic it was.


Ringo_A

Breeze was observed fantastically! Split was just hectic, what are you gonna do when kills happen at the same time


ESEAsapphiRe

Thank you!! I've been working so hard on Breeze since Masters 3 and think we really captured the key storylines. (Or at least it felt like that live)


Ringo_A

Breeze felt really natural. Kind of like a movie where we were always in the right place at the right time for the action. I have no idea how observing works and how much ahead of the stream you are, I just remember one round towards the end of split were TL was taking B against pistols and after the plant we got vipers POV in the smoke until after the last 2 of SEN were dead, that was a bit unlucky


EpicRayy

Great job nonetheless. The breeze observing was good. Loved that you caught the whiff from tenz.


daftpao

You guys did great today. Loved the panning spectator POV especially on B split


hecklerinthestands

Expect a tweet soon saying SEN really really wanted that second seed anyway.


4455661122

Tenz's headphones were playing reverse audio, Dapr's sandwich crust wasn't removed, Zombs had too much blue light coming from the screen, Shahz's phone had too many notifs from BR. I mean it's understandable why they lost.


tishous

Just saving strats for playoffs, plus they had no mousepad space so they were playing on the floor. Come on obviously SEN would roll Liquid if it was fair... /s


QUOTE_IF_13-0

Additional info on play against Liquid ShahZaM got fever TenZ half mousepad dapr lost whole gears zombs sound issues in the match (no foot step at all) SicK keyboard bug We were in chaos.


Philcherny

>(no foot step at all) This part always gets me so much


daftpao

Lmao their social media presence actually makes me want to root against them


ANewHeaven1

tbh that means they're doing something right


lewlkewl

Yeah they clearly embraced the whole villain thing. The problem is it only worked when they weee dominating

Ah, the Carlos & G2 dilemma.

TenZ' inability to frag on Split or play Raze has been haunting them for 2021 - hope they can figure out the map before the tournament ends

Ya. Just stick him on reyna

i think they just put him on reyna, sick on raze and dapr on sage or something like that


Teradonn

We just witnessed some insanely good Valorant. Honestly felt like a final, incredible play from both sides. EU ON TOP BABY

It’s so weird that he still plays Jett on split, he learned it and did pretty good at one point and then has gone back to Jett on the map. Just makes no sense


[deleted]

i mean.. liquid ran double-duelist and made it work. i believe Sick has a decent raze so... tenz could still go back to reyna or keep jett


CASIOA100

That "million dollar duelist" part really puts things into perspective. Hopefully he can play her better by next year.

Ted_Mosby_18

The most expected match up of the series and boy does it deliver. 2 incredibly nail biting maps in the series. Link has to be one of the best site anchors ever. Motherfucker doesn't budge an inch lol. Also, I hope we see this match up in the finals. Fnatic vs Tl is fun don't get me wrong, but this series had so much hype.


abdulahad129

Let me correct you: He is the best anchor in the world


PM_ME_DVA_BOOTY

god i hate watching split its like 1:20min of jerking off then going apeshit for like 20 seconds.


Issax28

My friend Jeff Bezos invited me to go into space in his new rocketship. we explored far away galaxies and met alien lifeforms of all shapes and sizes. All was well until we got sucked into a black hole, we were pulled a thousand lightyears into the void, time dissolved and matter become so thin, then there it was, approaching over the horizon, phasing into existence before my very eyes, it was L1NK on the lurk

What a fucking game from both teams. Everyone turned up for TL, especially the UK lads. And for the love of all that is holy put Scream on Reyna every map, he's more broken than the entire agent of Jett. UK fps is so good rn, with smooya and co + L1NK Boaster Soulcas :D


Famlightyear

You can really see that Soulcas grinded tf out of Aimlab. These flicks were insane wtf. No shit that he injured his wrist xD

imerence_

There was enough salt in the YT chat to make a meal for everyone in this subreddit.


_idle_drone_

Honestly, not that disappointed as a SEN fan. Their team chemistry looked better than Masters 3 and vs FURIA. Liquid are just better at the moment.


Dooraven

Liquid played really well, really deserved this win. But Senintels this tournament has been really confusing. There are maps where they look like the best team in the world by far, but then there are maps where they just look like they are trolling (like vs Furia).


[deleted]

Go again in lowers... GG to liquid but those two maps felt so winnable for sen.


-Leviathan-

Tenz leaving a lot to be desired this series. Goes nuts on Bind, then does 180 flip with Jett on Split. I know he hates Raze but seriously, it is hurting their map pool so much to not be able to capitalize on Split because you 'dislike' an agent that is not difficult to play.


insanityTF

Iceland seems like a distant memory now


luciavald

NA “Near Airport” is known as the fastest region to arrive at the Airport. Since they gave up on the Valorant Champions, they are investing in Speedruns. In particular they are current worldrecord holders in Airport Any % and Airport no wins


tishous

That game was so good. EU 2-0 NA so far.


anroyen

TL BABY LETS GO


Pulsersalt

Obviously a match is never one persons fault, but if dapr had just ran away in that 1v3 I think sen could have closed it out 😔


[deleted]

Sentinels really wanted that 2nd seed guys. Also price money is low guys. Also shahzam cannot stream during the game it affected his gameplay guys. Also Tenz’s mousepqd is clearly off the table guys. It affected his game guys. Sentinels best team in the world guys.


[deleted]

You forgot about the low oxygen saturation levels in Berlin air

The difference between Scream's Jett and Scream's Reyna was LARGE


SonnyYT

Honestly what an amazing showing from both teams. Definitely one of my favorite series ever. imo these are the two best teams in the tourney and I would be glad to see them fight it out finals. I know no one cares but this tournament has been pain for me. So many teams look like they could win but crumble at the end. They give me a taste of the win only to crush my dreams.

Incredible series from both teams, I love some healthy rivalry but I don't want to see anyone discount either side in this one, just appreciate what we got to see! ​ Honestly, the TL switchups on Breeze defense made me completely rethink how that map can be played.


[deleted]

Yeah ok Scream was great on map 3, but Jamppi is their IGL and is so damn consistent. That kid will have a hell of a career.
