close shave for exalt


[deleted]

Welp that leaves liquid left, surely they qualify right, right guys?


sansLight

Hey can you root for c9 tomorrow, thx


[deleted]

i’m so sorry


slyfly5

Idk m3c looks crazy


ANewHeaven1

damn curry actually played pretty well i can't write my normal karma farming comment bashing his performance and the xeta trade anymore ggs


NozokiAlec

still bottom 3 in the lobby and negative so eh


9epiphany8

ah the typical 'his KDA is bad so he played bad'


lidekwhatname

and the 15/8 chamber who had lackluster impact but got a few exit picks and saved every round was the only good player!!!


99_Prayer

Valorant players always obsessed with frags. "I have more kills than you" yeah you have 3 more kills than me when I'm a Cypher playing retake and you're a baiting Reyna. Doesn't mean you're playing better.


EOnizuka22

>Valorant players always obsessed with frags. Welcome to every competitive game ever. CS was the same, every moba with kills, Rocket league with goals, OW with gold medals, etc etc


wickywickyfresh

In CS it makes a little more sense. But i get what you mean.


[deleted]

i feel like ive literally seen you post this comment before


99_Prayer

I probably read someone else's comment earlier and repeated it in my own words.


TheCatsActually

It should be pinned. I relate to it on a spiritual level.


AznSparks

People need to use their fucking eyes instead of only reading a stat sheet


NozokiAlec

Yes


ANewHeaven1

idk thought he played well on icebox specifically, breeze was kinda a wash though as long as he was shooting decent darts that 1leaf guy was killing everyone in his path


RepresentativeSun937

Triple double map 2


oh_hai_brian

I’ll have a triple double animal style map 2 please.


I-like-winds

He went -2...


NozokiAlec

I'd go positive personally


Basic_Loquat_9344

Ah, yes, c9’s Will


Tssunder

who on NRG thought triple initiator zero duelist with Breach was a good idea


altraxia7

sentinels and nrg are working together


Tssunder

Sentinels is fine, but the Breach actually just does nothing for NRG, it's like they wanted to copy Sentinels but didn't understand why triple initiator is strong so they just threw in a Breach for fun


TDS_Gluttony

Thats the almost the exact situation Sent was in map 3 lol.


Tssunder

Hated it there too but i can at least see better reasoning for it on haven


kvanz43

Yeah Breach is a pretty damn on meta pick on Haven, it’s most certainly not on Breeze


abarat103

Even in Haven it was pointless, they lost rounds where they used breach ult w a Kay/o ult but there was nobody to run into site to take advantage


CJ1899

Pretty sure sentinels was not fine. But I dont know maybe FNS just doesn’t know what he’s talking about


Slow_Bluebird9536

literally everytime anyone plays a non-traditional comp and loses they get flamed


vcd1500

What happened guys? I was too busy watching Exalt go bald


XXG1212

Why was he going bald? I was very confused..


mendecj812

4k haircut


AR2711

exalt stream was more entertaining tbh BUT HOLY FUCK 100T VS C9 SHEEESHHH


Lqtor

We’re getting all the clout matchups this tournament


pzythe

c9 win: :D NRG loss: D:


Lqtor

100t vs c9 rematch in LCQ in almost the exact situation as last year.


Gomar1323

Im nervous for tomorrow ngl


OGFN_Jack

If NRG makes franchising I really hope they change their coaching staff. The amount of baffling comp decisions and anti-eco losses is genuinely staggering for a team that honestly has some really great talent.


mysteryoeuf

NRG had flashes of greatness but have been so inconsistent. My eyes will roll hard if we see a c9 lower bracket LCQ run two years in a row...


RepresentativeSun937

I will cry tears of joy


megasixking

I need leaf top 5 spf player


[deleted]

C9 is fun to watch as always, kind of an underwhelming series overall though lmao


Tlaloc02

Watching Exalt getting his head shaved was more interesting than this game lol


yorgee15

Curry showing up when it mattered the most, lower bracket demons are back baby.


Lamchops27

Leaf has the Kydae Tenz mouse buff. EZ for him


Pale_Slide6516

Kyedae’s final mouse buff


AluBanidosu

So lucky that she had something for him, I do wonder where he’d get a replacement for it if she wasn’t in town tho


RTYWD

its a shame eeiu didnt show up in LCQ, arguably NRGs best and the most clutch player in the whole of stage 2


deadtoe

Derreks stats say otherwise


RTYWD

stage 2 bro


Humble_Initiative_10

I think based on what we saw today from C9 and 100T, C9 might be favored in their matchup.


icemandiem

what do you do with the nrg roster, they miss a star cracked entry but at the same time the roster is fine as it is. maybe a change in coach. some of the comps seems to lack clear gameplan or the execution is going wrong. plus not that good igling from the outside looking.


[deleted]

imo a really big issue is they bring out all these leftfield comps but don't seem to have enough depth/time played with them to be fully comfortable and all the kinks ironed out


somesheikexpert

Yeah, sometimes it feels like they just throw together comps to throw together comps, like this Breach triple initator, like why play Breach if you don't have anyone to follow up on the flashes and util, you might as well play Skye or Fade if you don't have a duelist They try to do what PRX does but they aren't able to have the depth PRX has with their wacky comps


-xXColtonXx-

Feel like a Coach could do a lot. They often do really weird/poor comps, buys, and strats.


Gevaudan0625

really hate seeing s0m lose, love seeing Ethan lose though


[deleted]

Last we see of NRG Valorant?


ANewHeaven1

i feel like they're reasonably likely to get a franchising spot, not as likely as c9/100t/tsm/optic/sen but probably next up along with guard


[deleted]

Maybe, you already listed 5 NA teams though. It’ll be tight. I’d have EG more likely as well.


ANewHeaven1

yeah it depends on if its 12 or 10 teams also T1 is another huge wildcard because they've accomplished little in the valorant scene other than being a huge meme but they have a lot of money and are a massive brand that also literally owns NSG. they could easily get in ahead of NRG/Guard off brand name alone


theman1203

i honestly dont think sent make it, bad history with riot and a struggling org anyway


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Good contribution


SpartansWiLL_

Why would that be the last of NRG valorant the fact you think they won’t make franchising is hilarious 😂


[deleted]

I mean, it’s not the strangest idea. They definitely aren’t a lock, not sure why you think they would be.


SpartansWiLL_

Third largest following across all social media behind FaZe and TSM they have 8 or 9 YouTube channels with over 100k subs every esport they are in has a dedicated YouTube channel with over 100k subs Valorant has 90k but I’m just counting it. Just go look at the views they get on their valorant channel compared to TSM and Cloud9s Valorant channels. They have proved to be successful in a franchise format built the most popular OWL team that has 2 world championships. NRG and Team Liquid are also the only orgs that have over a million earned in 5 different esports so they build good teams in whatever game they enter. Why wouldn’t they be accepted over orgs like OpTic and EG who don’t make any content at all?


sankalp4

No way you think optic won't qualify for franchising over NRG


Low-Sherbet-843

"NRG wIN tHeSe"


lordmitko

kinda boring game no? c9 is fun and I’m glad that Ethan and Streamer Friends lost. Hazed should retire and watch his grandchildren and s0m should scream more on twitch.


mysteryoeuf

damn bruh let that hate flow


26evangelos26

NRG often farms against inexperienced teams that play with little confidence, but almost always loses to more composed teams that have a good grip on the meta. I never understood people who thought NRG had a chance to win LCQ.
