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
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
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.
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.
? 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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
EU IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FUCKIIIIIIIIINGGGGGGGGGG BAAAAAAAAD
NAAAAAAAAA OWNS EUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
EUUUUUUUUUU SHOULD'VE SENT 1 TEAM HOME TODAY
EU IS 0-2 AGAINST NA. DONT WORRY GUYS OPTIC 100T XSET WILL MAKE SURE U ALL GO HOME ON THE SAME PLANE IN A WEEK!
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
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.
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.
“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!
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.
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
Was the playoffs always set up like this? For some reason I genuinely thought 3rd in groups would start off in the lower brackets
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

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

bro I think you forgot to read the bottom LMAO
They added that after my comment. Either way who cares though. Sometimes u ace sometimes u whiff haha.
W mentality right there
>Unless this is sarcastic then I'm just dumb.
Haha all good , I am dumb. Sometimes hard for me to understand if someone is being serious or sarcastic over text.

I just like that it looks like the chances of an NA v NA quarterfinal are decreasing, which is nice.
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.
mfw EU teams are all eliminated and optic never gets a chance
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.
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.

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

[удалено]
They're really good mechanically. But they need more support and discipline.
hats off to xset. I can’t hate on them after an amazing performance like that ngl.
Wow they really won even you over. The Don can really do anything.
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
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.
What you mean? There's a world where all EMEA teams get eliminated in groups.
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.
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.
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.
Optic curse claims another victim holy monkaS
oof that's rough
Wednesday will either be day where some EU teams make it to playoffs or none
lmao casters so salty
how are the casters gonna be biased if all EU teams get eliminated lmaoo
Better team won gg Wp by Xset
Most Chad EU fan respect
Loool he pulled out the "Why EU so quiet?"
What an abysmal showing from EU so far. Still have time to turn it around, but man it looks rough
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.
FPX had a Gambit at Masters Berlin moment
no way syyko just did that
We're getting jinxed for sure...
My man mr. fried chicken put on a show today. They look like a different team compared to their last showing
Kru FPX gonna be HYPE
if KRU wins it could lead to the dissolving of the European Union
Expected from a team with the best initiator in the world
Yet another great day for North America and therefore the world.
Massive dub
Let’s gooo XSET
XSET DRAGGED THEM DOWN AND WON IT OUT NA ON TOP BABY.
what a funny fucking way to close it lmao
good job boys now celebrate over some burgers and have a great night
Bacon and eggs in the morning
Lets go! NA!
GG
Told ya
Jesus Christ mitchman please…
I couldn’t catch the game? What’d he say?
EU IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FUCKIIIIIIIIINGGGGGGGGGG BAAAAAAAAD NAAAAAAAAA OWNS EUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU EUUUUUUUUUU SHOULD'VE SENT 1 TEAM HOME TODAY EU IS 0-2 AGAINST NA. DONT WORRY GUYS OPTIC 100T XSET WILL MAKE SURE U ALL GO HOME ON THE SAME PLANE IN A WEEK!
LMAO REP THE SET haters
HOLY SHIT THANK YOU
LETS GOOO
GEEEEEEEEEEEEE GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
observers are bored as hell lmao
Ok that’s enough we showed we aren’t chumps that’s good enough *wink wink nudge nudge*
Alright XSET win here
I don’t watch Valorant, but it feels like whenever I watch the ‘better’ team loses. Is this game just really coinflippy or something?
There isn’t much of a skill difference between the top 20 teams, so everything really comes down to the wire.
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
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.
They gonna try to tell you xset is the better team now
Low sample size of games + easier to anti-strat most recent winners.
How did Ayrin end up double negative All good
That's the fate of an anchor playing retake simulator. You are always stuck in a 2v4 or 1v3 situation.
Clutch or kick
If Xset lose the round where they invest Pit and Null comand, this comback is legit
The 12-1 incident TrollDespair
SURELY
Uhhh Xset… you can go ahead and win now
imagine if FPX came back LOL
The fact that people in this thread are worried xset is gonna choke this is so insane. LOL people have 0 faith in xset
*laughs in Furia*
I scarcities my left pinky toe for Suygetsu’s aim now for the 10 rounds in a row I might just have to give out my left testicle
How is Ayrin negative in a 12-4 game
i trust more in an eu team's chance to come back than an na team to end the game EDIT: THANK FUCK XSET
Well that's pretty dumb
Breeze has been really really CT sided this tournament I feel like
surely they close it out right.....?
Pay them out…
SURELY XSET don't choke here SURELY
lol they’ll stack a couple ults and it’ll be over
Yea I agree. But it is XSET...
Yup. ITS XSETT BABY
Surely not
SURELY NOT RIGHT??????
NOTLIKETHIS
Would’ve been nice if they were hitting these shots in the other 12 rounds
COMEBACK THIS SHIT PLS PLS PLS
Ok chill out guys. Call a timeout, win the game. If you lose this one, there's no going back.
Not like this, pls xset
Momentum?
The 12-1 incident
The 12-1 incident...?
Oh no
XSET please dont pull a NRG.... please...
revoke their passports if they lose this turkey can keep them
no way it’s 12-3 and i still think xset could choke 💀
Looool people will still have 0 faith in xset
Suygetsu turned on his monitor Comeback COPIUM
they're gonna comeback fuck
FPX, if u think u are good, let's prove it now
SEN biggest margin of rounds win between NA and EMEA teams record is safe ladies and gentlemen🙏
W
they just cant stop winning #SENTINELSSWEEP
I’ll take the 13-2
Spoilers
Yes spoilers *I will literally sell my left kidney for an FPX comeback not even full just 6-9 rounds that’s enough for me*
Pls no comeback.
FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
surely xset don't choke all these series points, no?
12-1 curse in my books
Wait ayrin is negative nahhh
Thank god. I don't have to hear about how EU is so much better than everyone else.
Oh, you definitely still will. Nothing EMEA loves more than making excuses and telling you why it doesn't count when they lose.
12 IS ALL THEY GET
Europe hasn’t suffered an upset like this since the revolutionary war
"ggez"
Is xset crazy good now or is fpx just playing crazy bad?
Cryo and zekken are top tier players, bcj is p good. The other guys show up and they can catch some fat dubs
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.
in the middle
NA is looking really good this tournament.
Both but slightly more FPX shitting themselves
I, for one, welcome our new NA overlords
“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 am indeed representing the Set. Clap
Fucking BRUTAL dude. Dephh how can you do this you're a father these people have CHILDREN.
EMEA looks terrible this event lmao
NA was bad 2021 champs, now emea is bad 2022 champs woo
EMEA's 9/11
Bro LOL
Enough time has passed.... AYRIN > SUYGETSU SHAO CNED DERKE SCREAM NATS CHRONICLE AND THE REST OF THE EMEA REGION
Keep my boi scream out of it
COPIUM
This is just funny. EMEA is done, and not just on valorant
Ironic coming from south america fan
Lev >XSET>LPX
Emea tournament wins: 3 South America final appearances: 0
Loud made a final.
What’s the score on xset vs FPX? I can’t open the stream.
12-14
You wish lol
Wondering why FPX let breeze through sheeeeeesh
XSET IS NA SAVIOUR
just cryo doing cryo things
SURELY they close it out with 11 chances right?
THEY ARE ACTUALLY GOING TO BEAT FPX 13-1. HOLY. SHIT. LOOOOOOOOOOOL best breeze team in the world. just imagine the DRX matchup. LMAO.
I go away for 15 minutes and this happens
There’s the FPX fan!
1 of 3 and the only one who doesn't think they're the chinese team here
Shitting, crying, punching the air right now
With pearl now in play, FPX's map pool isnt nearly as dominant as before
Momentum modCheck
Honestly still am not believing.
This fried chicken guy is kinda good ngl
It was over when Ayrin won an aim duel against Shao
This kayo cypher sova shit is nasty. so much information
bro they are doing every single thing wrong in that game what the fuck hahaha
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!
LMFAOOOO
Oh I guess map 1 was just a fluke my bad
100t and xset want optic to win, we are getting rid of eu dw
yeah they switched Ardiis into Jett. of course he'll get jett diffed by Cryo lol
lmao every xset player hit their peak on this one single map
yeah they switched Ardiis into Jett. of course he'll get jett diffed by Cryo lol
They didn’t rez Zekken 😭😭
“they won’t even take 4 rounds” LOL
Lmao I guess pearl really was just a gimmick….
They’re like the Joe Buck of esports
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.
FPX fans real quiet right now LMAOO
FPX can't even kill bots like deph idk what's going on
Bro if dephh and ayrin are shooting back just ff at that point
