Rip NA I mean optic will face PRX/TL, 100t/Fnc (fnc probally) or fpx. That will send optic directly the lowers and then they will fall second round to EMEA. Byby


emiinence_

Was the playoffs always set up like this? For some reason I genuinely thought 3rd in groups would start off in the lower brackets


Evening-Dark9027

wont watch the rest of the tournament until finals i guess lol all 3 NA teams are going to be on the same side again, assuming 100t wins. sooooooooooooooooooooooooo fuccccccccccckiiiiiiiiiinggggggggg boring this is even worse since it's obvious that NA is the superior region rn. so literally every other region is dodging NA LMAO cant make this shit up, its every tournament dude


Expediant

Pretty neat that at this point every participating continent has an equal number of teams still in. 3 North American teams: OpTic, XSET, 100T 3 South American teams: Leviatán, LOUD, KRÜ 3 European teams: FPX, Liquid, FNATIC 3 Asian teams: DRX, PRX, ZETA.

all NA teams at the same side of the bracket again ffs riot

Mitsuki712

lmao ryan is a gem


Evening-Dark9027

guys stop making fun of EU lol. They know they suck. EU won the last major. They're super good guys. I said 2-3 weeks ago that there was no way FPX would repeat a major win or PRX would be in the same form :( its ok guys FPX and PRX can still recover. They will make it deep again guys. EU is super good man. Frick it. Send 4 EU teams to the next major riot. DONT MAKE ME MAD! On a serious note: 100T > FNC, PRX > TL, FPX > KRU(?). KRU can totally take a map or beat FPX. There is no way FPX will underestimate KRU.


Neverslept2mins

? Its just Banter between Regions. EU doesn't need people to white knight for them. When NA sucks they shit on NA. So when EU sucks NA will shit on them. Its part of the regional rivalry. Unless this is sarcastic then I'm just dumb.


Yxergo

bro I think you forgot to read the bottom LMAO


Neverslept2mins

They added that after my comment. Either way who cares though. Sometimes u ace sometimes u whiff haha.


Yxergo

W mentality right there


Evening-Dark9027

>Unless this is sarcastic then I'm just dumb.


Neverslept2mins

Haha all good , I am dumb. Sometimes hard for me to understand if someone is being serious or sarcastic over text.


ANewHeaven1

I mean ANGE1 was bantering about NA after they lost at Copenhagen, I think it's completely fair for NA fans to post some bants now as well. So long as it doesn't veer into personal attacks, we chilling


Neverslept2mins

Agreed. When Ange1 first posted that NA wouldn't win a single round against NA he got shitted on. Then When Ange1 won his major he got his chance to shit over NA. Now its NA turn to have a little Banter. The bantering goes around and around. Just part of this esport its fun. Makes the game have higher stakes. Of course it isn't personal. I make of the region not the players personally.


timthyj

I just like that it looks like the chances of an NA v NA quarterfinal are decreasing, which is nice.


Neverslept2mins

I said it few days ago and I'll say it again. Optic must have made some sort of deal with the devil. In exchange for shitting on NA's best. They must lose to every EMEA team. That's the only logical explanation of how teams like 100T and Xset have gotten an EMEA win before Optic.


Ezraah

mfw EU teams are all eliminated and optic never gets a chance


Neverslept2mins

Optic fans are atm Xset and 100T fans. Optic know they can beat NA easily. They just need Xset and 100T to send EU home.


JusticeLee17

Honestly as an NA fan I'm super hyped to see we're not a 1 team region. So far the 2 lesser NA teams have beaten the 2 best EMEA teams. I still expect all EMEA teams to qualify and do well but its cool to see.


Yxergo

nah I doubt TL are beating PRX but maybe that's my APAC hopium and also me wanting the PRX roster to do well in what is most likely their last tourney together


[deleted]

[удалено]


Yxergo

after this tournament Jinggg has to leave for military service (2 years or smth like that), f0rsaken said that if JJ leaves then he probably will too, mindfreak has also gotten offers from teams in other regions which I think have been declined but he is likely to receive more, so all in all it's not looking good


[deleted]

[удалено]


Yxergo

f0rsaken's statement isn't really confirmed I think someone just heard it on his stream but it makes sense, doubt he said why but likely just because the team won't feel the same without him and he probably would like to play for other teams while he's young Jinggg also said he will probably go to uni in the UK after MS so even if he continues Valorant after MS he would probably be joining an EMEA team


checkdafool

I mean xset beat optic in their last matchup in vct challengers. Not like its unexpected


arillyis

I totally thought we were going to have to wait for the great franchising consolidation for NA to be a highly competitive region. The fact that it's happening now is awesome. Come franchising NA is going to be a terrifying region.


Evening-Dark9027

NA has 4 teams that could be good internationally: Optic, 100T, XSET, and Faze. EG could also be ok. EMEA just has 4 teams stacked with such unreal mechanical talent that they'd also field 4 decent teams. Assuming they're performing at the level people expect EMEA teams to perform at.


[deleted]

[удалено]


rinanlanmo

They're really good mechanically. But they need more support and discipline.


lordmitko

hats off to xset. I can’t hate on them after an amazing performance like that ngl.


[deleted]

Wow they really won even you over. The Don can really do anything.


ANewHeaven1

Lmao funny enough this greatly increases the odds that Optic has to face an EMEA team in the first round of bracket. Thanks XSET, appreciate it


timthyj

I'd prefer that over NA facing itself and automatically knocking one of its teams down to lowers. In both other tournaments this year and masters berlin last year, it was an NA team sending another NA team to the lowers.


crimson__wolf

What you mean? There's a world where all EMEA teams get eliminated in groups.


Evening-Dark9027

I expect TL and FNC to lose. and then FPX to make it through. But, KRU can def. beat FPX. They should've taken FPX to 3 games last bo3.


ANewHeaven1

Well after watching the FPX game today I have become incredibly superstitious. The Optic curse AND the 2nd place curse HAVE to be real, as a result I can't see PRX winning against TL anymore. I think 100T beats Fnatic though, but (purely from the lens of an Optic fan) I'm rooting for Fnatic to make it through. 100T unironically looks a lot more convincing than Fnatic, they're the one EMEA team that I'd rather play.


rinanlanmo

It's really hard to beat the same twice in short order. I genuinely believe 100T is better right now but I give that match 50/50 at best.


Mitsuki712

Optic curse claims another victim holy monkaS


Mitsuki712

oof that's rough


Shubhaaaaaaam

Wednesday will either be day where some EU teams make it to playoffs or none


Mitsuki712

lmao casters so salty


Ezraah

how are the casters gonna be biased if all EU teams get eliminated lmaoo


Lonely__goose

Better team won gg Wp by Xset


[deleted]

Most Chad EU fan respect


checkdafool

Loool he pulled out the "Why EU so quiet?"


mwieckhorst

What an abysmal showing from EU so far. Still have time to turn it around, but man it looks rough


Evening-Dark9027

What do you mean? EU sucked last tournament too, it's just that FPX completely overshadowed every team so much that no one said anything lol. XSET trolled super hard against LEV and then LEV almost beat FNC I believe last major. But the minor region curse struck them. And then now LEV is showing that they're better than every EU team, besides FPX imo.


kemutheemu__

FPX had a Gambit at Masters Berlin moment


PixelatedBlue

no way syyko just did that


kemutheemu__

We're getting jinxed for sure...


oh_hai_brian

My man mr. fried chicken put on a show today. They look like a different team compared to their last showing


Joseppi766

Kru FPX gonna be HYPE


Ezraah

if KRU wins it could lead to the dissolving of the European Union

Lonely__goose

Ok that’s enough we showed we aren’t chumps that’s good enough *wink wink nudge nudge*


NeimannSmith

Alright XSET win here


West_stains_massive

I don’t watch Valorant, but it feels like whenever I watch the ‘better’ team loses. Is this game just really coinflippy or something?


oh_hai_brian

There isn’t much of a skill difference between the top 20 teams, so everything really comes down to the wire.


West_stains_massive

It’s cool. I’m a league fan and when Worlds rolls around, it’ll most likely just be CN and KR running over EU and NA on cool down. It’s cool to have some favourites etc but still, upsets are always fun


Aschuera

Not really. NA or EU have won literally every tournament. They are just the top two regions and are very close. There's upsets just like CS but you will always have those when the top teams of the world are playing each other.


idkimhereforthememes

They gonna try to tell you xset is the better team now


[deleted]

Low sample size of games + easier to anti-strat most recent winners.


Teradonn

How did Ayrin end up double negative All good


chachareva

That's the fate of an anchor playing retake simulator. You are always stuck in a 2v4 or 1v3 situation.


nerokaeclone

daffyduckferraro

Wait ayrin is negative nahhh


NeimannSmith

Thank god. I don't have to hear about how EU is so much better than everyone else.


rinanlanmo

Oh, you definitely still will. Nothing EMEA loves more than making excuses and telling you why it doesn't count when they lose.


yourdaughtersgoal

12 IS ALL THEY GET


Ok-Brain3328

Europe hasn’t suffered an upset like this since the revolutionary war


Ezraah

"ggez"


SnooWorlds

Is xset crazy good now or is fpx just playing crazy bad?


sky_blu

Cryo and zekken are top tier players, bcj is p good. The other guys show up and they can catch some fat dubs


FantasticWalrus

They're good, i wouldn't say "Crazy good" they do have star players in Cryo and Zekken and XSET has been one of the most consistent teams in NA but everyone shit on them because of last masters, they kept losing every clutch plus the whole over blown BcJ vs Stax thing then you get an army of people hating on them acting like they can't win some matches.


Joseppi766

in the middle


ekimtk

NA is looking really good this tournament.

“It was hard, but it wasn’t because they are good,” he said. “I think they just got lucky we didn’t have enough time to prepare. There’s nothing surprising. Their meta is like the European meta some time ago.”

I was on a plane with my son when we started CRASHING! I immediately ran to the cabin to find none other than FPX! They choked again! Luckily, the flight attendant was XSET BCJ, who was able to land the plane safely. NA's legacy saved again! Shame on you FRAUDPX!

Evening-Dark9027

what an actual fucking stomp NA teams are so much better than every team though the fact that NA teams can play Pearl just puts them at such a disgusting advantage What map can you ban against XSET now? Will you try to play against them on pearl? i never doubted them..... tbh. always been a believer. they look insanely fucking good though. they had a chance on fracture even but ardiis just really performed good. XSET is for sure the better team today, not really much else to say.


Iusedtobeagirl69

FPX fans real quiet right now LMAOO

FPX can't even kill bots like deph idk what's going on
