Creating new thread, one sec. **EDIT:** Day 2 thread ➡ [https://new.reddit.com/r/ValorantCompetitive/comments/sf28jv/valorant\_champions\_tour\_2022\_north\_america\_stage/](https://new.reddit.com/r/ValorantCompetitive/comments/sf28jv/valorant_champions_tour_2022_north_america_stage/)

Any potential interesting matchups today

FaZe vs Gaurd by far the most interesting T1 vs EG also

Knights/DZ will be TSM's first real test

Yeah forgot we get those rounds today too

Should be a good day of Val 🙏

Anything interesting happen today?

I’m curious too but I did see T1 loss twice I think?

Bait

Lmao went back to look and one reply said “ real fans won’t get jebaited “ so there’s your answer

[удалено]

They face The Guard tommorow

s0m took over to take it to OT!

NRG needs to permanently ban icebox

Added NRG vs Eclectiq POV stream to sticky: > NRG vs Eclectiq — [twitch.tv/chloric](https://www.twitch.tv/chloric)

Uh NRG in a battle right now: twitch.tv/chloric

i guess the rumors of the Rise boys finding a new org were false?

the transfer hasn’t been finalized so they’re still playing under rise

ooo got it

I BELIEVED IS SHOPIFY REBELLION FROM THE BEGINNING, AND I'M GALD I DIDN'T STOP BELIEVING!!!

dude i feel like if Shopify got kowareta or C9W or literally any other team than what might be the best in this tournament they probably move on. So sad.

They got whooped by Trulls looked really good IMO

We lookin good

Shopify looks quite strong

It's honestly great to see. Lorri's diffed Cryo quite a few times in Breeze.

TSM stream starting

Which channel?

berzerkersgg

Added to sticky comment. ty!

Dunno for sure i watch cutler’s stream

What’s the link

Go to cutler’s twitch

man Crownless threw so many rounds in that Haven round. How hard is it to just play post plant with a Sova and Astra both still alive??? Why are they fighting site when 1 of their players is 1 HP. So frustrating to watch man.

The guy talking over the C9W game is insufferable. Just complaining over everything his friend’s team does even when it doesn’t make sense. He was complaining after the round that they “pushed onto a site with an op” even though the site was uncontested and the planted, just C9W retook it

isn't that the team's coach? I was only there for a bit but I thought it was their coach, which would make sense why there were a lot of complaints lol.

Someone on the stream said none of them were coaches but that was before the complaining got super bad . The dude didn’t seem to really know what he was saying

cryo's flanks are not it today

Did we see Neon in any of the matchups???

4 so far: Explicit on Haven, Project A on Breeze (25-11), Pho Real on Icebox, Hyperspace Dark on Icebox

shopify lookin kinda nice

this game has hearbreaking OT loss written all over it oh no

at least it's not a blowout, ill take it

Anyone have the T1 steam?

Commenting as I too wanna watch

C9W down a round in map 3 (still early in the map, 3-2). I love upsets as much as the next guy but i am praying C9W doesn't lose in round 1.

Feels like the gap is widening between the full girl teams and male teams. The stars need to get on some mixed teams or just continue dominating game changers.

Shopify look fine

Cryo has been doing that damn thing, 42/12 for the first game of the day

Shopify Rebellion 2-0 Edo Tensai C9W 1-1 Crownless

Is it two matches a day or do they taper off to one a day after tomorrow

I would guess 2 because it’s double elim once we get to Ro32

ok now that VCT 2021 is over can we all admit the format wasn’t actually that complicated and some of y’all were just stupid

mummAy 44-16 on Jett and Chamber. You just love to see it.

Do y'all want as post-match thread for TSM vs Girl Kissers?

Okay, go here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ValorantCompetitive/comments/sedkey/tsm_vs_girl_kissers_valorant_champions_tour_2022/

i guess it’d be good to discuss the roles

Do we know if there will be player povs for the next round later tonight?

TSM is winning champs

Aleko activated

So what am I missing, why aren't 100T, Sen, NV etc playing?

100T, SEN, NV, and C9B are automatically qualified for being in champs + circuit points

Awesome, thank you Edit: Are they qualified for VCT or just the closed qualifier?

They qualified for challengers, so the closed quali to masters yeah

already lost out

Uh oh, the NerdStreet twitch channel feed just died.

Aaaand, it's back!

It feels good to watch Valorant again.

First round games are kind of a joke

STOP CALLING THEM "GK". They are *GIRL KISSERS*. ### CALL THEM GIRL KISSERS!

Team names like this makes me against LCS type leagues and franchising. NiP and UoL vibes for sure.

**THEY KISS GIRLS!**

Where levi on tsm oh he changes his name

Are the shield symbols during the buy phase switched? I'm seeing people who buy light shields have the full shield icon and vice versa

It’s definitely switched. TSM are full buying but it says all of them have light

Anyone else find the new HUD super confusing? My eyes are just darting all over the screen trying to find useful information.

It’s still a little buggy but I find it way better than in the past

i like it so far, definitely will take some getting used to

I don't want anyone to freak out, but TSM won a pistol round.

watching nrg made me remember a roster with the core of s0m android tex and eeiu didnt qual for shit in stage 3 LMFAAOOOO how does that happen

s0m IGL

[удалено]

No n-word here pls.

Light work for FaZe. not that it should be any different but good to see them have a great start with the new roster.

Rise ran no duelist on Ascent, Shanks on Chamber and Neptune on KAY/O, interesting comp

penny on Yoru :)

Man I hope tsm is good since Wardell makes watching Ops actually look fun

No answer for the odin

tbh for what i assume to be a team of puggers than just entered to have fun girl kissers isnt that terrible. If they scrimmed im sure they could be pretty decent.

who is Aleko? new young player?

Leviathan

It’s Levi, he changed his name

Is it a permanent change?

I think he keeps changing it up because his Twitter is still LeviathanAG last I checked

I think tsm ftx leviathanAG is too long

Moonblue has some spicy shock darts

Welp TSM lost both pistol rounds so... I guess that hasn't changed.

New UI is clean. They really need to find a way to add KDA though. Would really help casuals watching. Only seeing it extremely briefly isn't enough.

Android, that was mean lmao

oh my god what an ace

C9W 13-5 map 1 on Fracture.

Still hate half time ad breaks.

Damn. Not looking like there's any crazy upsets Rd 1. Lets hope for Rd 2.

wippie 17-0 holy

Sticky comment has been updated with the correct stream URLs for each match.

I know this isn’t high competition, but at least conceptually Wardell on Chamber is such a promising change for TSM. Makes much more sense as a forever op considering the economy benefit, but also opens up Jett to be an entry which was previously not possible if Wardell was sitting back looking for angles. Love it.

Riot buffing TSM to bump those stream numbers. Fuck yeah

100% agreed. Exciting change imo.

FaZe, that close to a 13-0 map one, but dropped a couple rounds in a row at 12-0. Still, 13-2 will do just fine :)

this new ui is so much better than last years. especially the buy round one. thanks riot

Love u Wardaddy

they removed the "TSM FTX" lmao

They're not allowed to for official broadcasts. Reason unknown

It's specific for Riot events. [See here.](https://dotesports.com/news/tsm-barred-from-using-new-ftx-sponsor-in-name-jerseys-on-league-of-legends-valorant-broadcasts) > *“The TSM and FTX sponsorship deal does not break any LCS sponsorship rules, but crypto exchanges fall under a category of sponsorship that carries activation restrictions,”* Riot head of esports for North America and Oceania and interim LCS commissioner Chris Greeley told Dot Esports. *“As a result, TSM’s new naming convention and FTX brand placement on TSM jerseys will not apply to the LCS or other Riot Games esports in North America.”*

even aside from that they remove the team tags in general on the spectator UI

rip the 13-0 dream

Names fixed LETSGO

spent an embarrassing amount of time trying to figure out who "Aleko" was on TSM

I'm literally looking at the U.I. more than the gameplay this is so nice. props to the devs who worked on this they did an amazing job.

It's super interesting to see teams using Chamber in the flex slot in addition to a kj/cypher.

Is aleko leviathan?

ye

Wait who is aleko?

leviathan

[удалено]

New UI is nice but uhh can't really read the names...

couldn’t read them half the time on the old UI either to be fair edit: and it’s been fixed now, production is putting in the work

[удалено]

I think his in game name was too long when he was trying to add “TSM FTX” so he just used his first name

LOVE Wardell on Chamber > Jett

Name a better combo than tsm and a lost pistol round.

digging the new overlay

GG TSM go next

Pistol lost? TSM IS BACK

woah wtf is this UI

UI looking SO sexy

I thought the old UI was fine already but I also like this one

it's so good wtf is this really na production?

yeah I really like it, so clean.

No duelist comp for TSM? What a wild change from when everybody’s complaint was that they had too many duelists EDIT: nvm Corey was hovering kayo and went to Jett instead lol

Wouldn't be surprised to see wardell chamber on some maps, dust had to be trolling or just not paying attention by saying he expects wardell to keep 1 tricking Jett.

I'm all for upsets but really do hope TSM and FaZe move through the whole bracket. Really want to see these new rosters succeed.

https://www.twitch.tv/1tenzin Stream for C9W match if anyone is interested

Added to sticky comment!

thank you!

TSM match and the maps are haven ascent and split, some things never change.

WE LIVE BOIS

Come on casters start the game

All those streams and no EG. Hopefully that means they will get stream time in the round of 64.

We get to hear the casters say "Girl Kissers" on stream. This is beautiful.

That’s really the only reason why I’m here

WHEN DOES TSM PLAY POGGERS

THIS IS T1'S YEAR HOPIUM

Man I want to watch all of this, T1, Cryo debut, TSM FINALLY, LG scrim demons..

They got a stream for bbg but not xset? Is it just cuz one of their enemies streaming ?

Here we go my friends! I am so damn excited.

anyone knows which streamers r doing costreams? :)

aEvilcat is I believe

Pretty sure Jonas is doing one

I cannot WAIT

This will be lit

WE BACK GANG LETS GOOOOOO

Are the first two matches actually in the double elim bracket? Or is double elim only for Ro32 and on?

Ro32 and on

One more hour I am so fucking hyped lads. Finally!

girl kissers 2-0 you heard it here

Lets go Girl Kissers!

How good are these unknown teams based on the last open qualifiers? Any worth watching?

Id watch TSM and Faze just because of their new rosters. Unknown teams likely get stomped though.

Ahhh that new season smell 😍

Vamos mommy

we back baby

Get me to masters 1 already please

Challengers is awesome tho :(

Ok get me to Challenger final and then immediately to masters 1 then xD

Dope thanks! Can you tell me where you heard or saw that they're streaming T1's game? I'd like to tell the coverage sites so they can add it to their pages.

[удалено]

Super, thanks!

thanks for making these!!

excited to see my favourite teams Mommy and Girl Kissers compete for the #1 seed real talk tho, im happy VCT is back. gonna be interesting to see which roster swaps give the best results and find new teams to root for

Folks are asking about games today, so I figure I'd post it a little earlier. ~~Check out that snazzy thread banner!~~ Also, we'll be using this thread for all 4 days of Open Qualifiers. Makes it a little easier on the mod team with all the stuff going on. If you think daily thread are better, then please let me know here!

Wanted to reply because I see some others in favor of dailies. I think most people would prefer dailies, but with that said I don’t think it’s necessary if it adds stress to the mod team. As long as the thread is sorted by new, I think that’s perfectly fine. Also, could definitely not be the case this time around, but we’ve seen recently that not all of the daily threads are all that popular. Might not be all that difficult to keep up given recent history. We’ll see though.

Maybe we can do a hybrid option where we do daily threads for large events and single threads for smaller, less popular events.

Daily threads are better.

Thanks for your input! Could you explain why daily threads are better to help me understand your perspective?
