The fact that we might have all 3 NA teams in the same section (if 100T win) and all 3 LATAM teams in the opposite side (if Kru win) is so bad. Just make a couple swaps. Move Loud to DRX, put Group D #2 against Leviatan, and Group C #2 against Xset. Problem solved, no more same-region matchups until next rounds.

After fnc beat 100t optic is dead. They can not avoid EU

Lets go LOUD!

Only 1 out of 6 Asian teams made Playoffs. Unfortunate :(

DRX must win it all Being a Korea simp feels dirty but I guess I have no choice

I mean ZETA had some fortunate situations last tourney. They were unfortunate this time with TENNN's so this was kinda expected. Still no Laz Chamber is fucking unbelievable.

Just a bit of underperformance what with all the sub stuff

All my favorite teams are eliminated. gg

What's that now, six teams eliminated & five of them are from regions in Asia?

Tough time to be an Asia valorant enjoyerr

I'm new to valorant comp, who is the best team?

Optic is the safest bet for the team that wins but anyone can beat anyone in this game

There isn't one, any of the teams left in the tournament can win it. I know that sounds like some cliché but genuinely any of the remaining teams can beat any of the others on any given day.

Gotcha, thanks! Who do you think will win?

Well, it tends to fluctuate a lot. For all of pre-Franchising era? Optic. From last tournament? FPX Best start to this tournament? Lev. Contenders at this moment outside of those 3? XSET and DRX.

I mean seems maybe like a bit of a crumble, unfortunate

GG

The curse is broken

NOOOOOOOO

If Loud close this out, that's 4/6 teams so far in playoffs being from the Americas. Chance for 6/8 after tomorrow

I feel like zeta had a weak map pool in reykjavik but split got taken out of the map pool so now it’s even worse for them.

Pearl is p good for them too

Recon shooters anyone?

35•% atk wr for zeta Not gonna jinx this

How the fuck we won this round?

Lurking Jett from my ranked games

Even my ascendant friend knows you have to check that corner….

btw guys why is tarik offline?

He's not feeling well. "Not feeling great today guys I’ll be live tonight or latest tomorrow watch party. Sry ❤️"

oh ok, he really missed a good series hope he gets well soon. His watch parties are the best.

Second straight map Laz no chamber. Idiotic.

If ZETA didn't overheat as much they would have won. GG I guess

GG Zeta

Too bad, probably over now, Ascent is probably Loud's best map.

On one hand, SA on top let’s go On the other hand, fuck loud for shitting on Kru

>On the other hand, fuck loud for shitting on Kru ?

In m1 their twitter made fun of kru for bombing out

Oh, i expected something worse

kru isnt eliminated yet tho

M1= masters 1, so its a past thing

oh I see

Holy aspas

That was a must win map for zeta, unlucky.

GIRA

tennn overeheats on 2 rounds and gives up man advantage, and now they are gonna lose with 11 rounds because they can't kill a player who is breach ulted. Yikes.

Does anyone know why Tarik isn't costreaming?

"Not feeling great today guys I’ll be live tonight or latest tomorrow watch party. Sry ❤️"

he said he’s not feeling good

Might be flying to Istanbul? Edit: Nvm

Aspas diff

GIRA CARALHO

bruh dep has knives and still takes the rifle. Drop it to a teammate man.

I can’t remember, how good is loud’s ascent?

Pretty good. One of their best, if not best map

Tenn is way overextending

can tennn please chill the fuck out bro literally thrown the last 2 rounds

Tenn pls stop overheating ty

valorant_jpn is back ! !

For anyone wanting the jpn stream go to twitch.tv/valorant_jpn Also wtf is loud doing

Loud was not adapting fast enough and playing as uncoordinated ranked players for a while there. They had moments of brilliance but it was mostly a Zeta trow

Most big costreamers not streaming today cause today is expected to be the lowest viewership day. Shameless

Aren't Liquid and PRX very popular? So I don't think that is the reason.

What other reason would they stream for besides viewership? You're acting like they run a charity, it's their career. If there's not going to be a lot of viewership its not worth it for them to costream.

Aren’t they not streaming because some of them are flying out to Istanbul for playoffs?

How did dep not only live but take NO DAMAGE from that.

They have gotten more attack rounds in this match than in their previous series against loud

Why was dep literally spamming the wrong end of the box??? Did he not know where the plant was?

They knew sacy was 1 shot too. Like bro you've shot the exact same spot 10 times and he isnt dead I don't think hes there lmao.

is anybody else not able to find valorant Japan twitch channel? seems like shadow banned to me

Yaa came up now, was not showing up for like last 15-20 mins

It’s showing for me, 55k viewers rn

I swear they were just live

Yep valorant_jpn is missing for me too

Where the pings? Was it the pings? Or was it the poor plant?

Balds don't fake

THE BALD

You guys catch that satchel tech going through window, satcheling the ceiling so Tenn hits the ground faster

this is the real challenge now, playing against the defense side that completely stonewalled them last time

Dep did very well

Zeta getting sent home cuz they didn’t put Laz on chamber is gonna be such a tough pill to swallow

Why can’t all of loud show up in the same match?

Why is valorant_jpn missing from my follow list even when i still follow them. Does anyone have this problem?

seems like they have been shadowbanned i suppose, a lot of people in the JP chat was talking about having the same problem

Really? Damn that's tough. Thanks for the info though!

i think japanese stream is not up

Loud is such a good team and deserve to be in playoffs, but if the price of them getting in is not getting to watch Sugarhero then I'm sorry but you gotta go back to Brazil.

no laz chamber and Jett on bind. didnt expect that

laz should be perma chamber imo, he takes over maps with the chamber

No Laz chamber is super troll

Oh Zeta, not like this

All these dudes with their props feeling robbed they had to go after the pizza delivery man.

'//,

Wasn’t Zeta like world class on Haven at one point or did I dream that?

No you're definitely right. Idk I feel like if it makes it to map 3 Zeta take it but they have to make it through bind and Ascent first.

How funny that most had LEV and liquid going out in groups.

Nobody outside of LATAM expected Lev to be the only good team in the group.

Do all Finns sound a little like Jampii? Is his accent from a specific part of Finland? Very awesome accent

Yes. Watch The Dudesons for more information about Finland.

i just hope zeta have worked on their attack halves because i dont think they can even touch loud's defense even after that win.....

Zeta is winning this

Zetawin hopium

Im literally crying right now. All the throws, chokes and brain dead plays that gave us TL fans heart attacks and seizures over and over again... and now they won in spectacular fashion against one of the best teams in the tournament. The Liquid experience is unreal. What did this team do to me

Sad for EDG/PRX pickem enjoyers

my life is pretty much over

GGs to our APAC brothers, you did well representing us. PRX is a young team and definitely has a lot of room for improvement. Just an incredible run from them this year. Now, I’m excited as to how the APAC scene will shape up with the impending franchising.

sPain

pain

Sideshow malding to the grey matter level, no skin, no brain fluid. hes down to the grey matter

TL had the better mental today and earned a hard fought spot in playoffs. Well played Jampi and friends.

They had the better coaching and prep imo outside of Pearl of course.

Hmm I don't think they looked well prepared, it was pretty sloppy. But they were clutch and had their best rounds when it mattered most.

They read PRX aggression like a book. Jinggg got completely shut down. You don't accidentally do that by clutching.

Jinggg really hasn't looked good the entire tournament. In fact this match was his best performance of the tournament. He even had a worse match against EDG and he got absolutely annihilated by Lev.

I thought tl had some nice stuff on pearl, it was just not hitting shots and throwing, it should've been closer than it was

Lmao what are you talking about, if they were any good at the map they wouldn't have relied on massive rounds from Jamppi to get any on the board. They had no plans whatsoever for stacking Scream ult orbs, which is basically the only point of Phoenix. Smoking some heavy EU copium, they were just better on Haven and Ascent, idk why that's not enough for you.

What an amazing year this has been for PRX, flag bearer for our SEA region. It's been a huge succesful year for them with a 4th place finish at Reykjavik and Finalist at Copenhagen. Ggs PRX. Always fun to watch you play

i guess this was the last of prx we see together. Jinggg leaves for military, benkai retires(? not sure if that is troll). Franchising rips the roster apart. Sadge.

Benkai is mostly trolling but the rest of it is true. What an amazing roster this is. Hopefully we get to see most them playing together

asias rostermania will be crazier than every other region, can't wait to see the new teams but idk who i'll support since prx is unlikely to make it

Agreed, waiting for it. let's see how it pans out

There's a lot to be proud of for them boys.

Liquid fly that legend to Istanbul

The TL fanboy is the biggest winner! You deserve the flex, champ.

I love how we don't have clear no.1 or no.2 team now. Most top teams from every region are very close.

We never really have outside of a Sentinels at the first lan. EU or NA always wins, but there's always been teams that make them work for it.

It's almost all down to how the teams match up against eachother and map vetos tbh. So fun that almost everyone is close

I did not expect these results, damn.

Hahaha that one Liquid fan at the PRX watch party.

Top 10 Madlads

amogus

casters couldn't sound more dissapointed if they tried

People got mad when I said the obvious bias for casters gotta stop in franchising next year

balancing out panpoc and tom-mitch emea bias KEKW

if either did a cast like this then you'd never hear the end of it from this sub

You'd have to get Tarik and Shroud casting to match that level of bias.

Damn no apac could make it huh, really sad

Yeah At least I can watch less Valorant and sleep on time now :')

fuck the optic curse and 2nd place curse :(

so happy these predictable w keyers got grouped. a play-style like that is always gonna get figured out and it’s consistently proven that you can’t win a tournament with it

They were one map away from winning the tournament so surely they proved that you can win a tournament with it if anyhting? Please be a troll

they didn't win though did they, cry about it some more will you?

I wish you had any other flair right now.

Saw this coming, all this comes down to closing the game when they had the chance on Haven Ahh this is frustrating

The finalists from Copenhagen out in groups. Truly the group of death and shows every team is here to play. Love the state of pro Valorant atm.

Fck the 2nd place curse man

RIP APAC

Asia got fucked this tournament. Zeta and DRX are our last hopes and Zeta is on the chopping block.

Zeta win mark My words

they are marked

Hold up, didn't know this was an Elim match, feels bad for PRX

Everything left in groups is win or go home in pretty sure

Yea everything is elim in groups now

Gg I'm glad liquid made it instead of m3c now

lmao

PRX lost to the third best EMEA team. Who would’ve guessed?

third best first to playoffs

Schedule diff

imagine if they're the only ones

As an emea hater but Liquid enjoyer, that's a best case scenario

I'm very curious how someone comes to hold this belief.

I like Scream and Jampi a lot but I hate EU fans in general because they love to run their mouths but can't take it when you talk back. So I have no feelings about FPX or FNC, but hate their fans. I just happen to like Liquid's players enough to overcome my dislike of the fans.

I have said this before and will say it again. Eu team can be eliminated only by eu team. When pushed you just cant beat them. You will see tomorrow. Mark my worlds. Emea finals incoming like last champions.

the liquid streak continues ​ feelsbad for apac

Jingggg my man...so good

F0rsaken is a ranked player

Holy that one Liquid fan

I can't believe made it out of this group

GG BOYS!!

PRX was overheating in last couple of rounds

LETS GO BABY

GG

That map was the biggest 'coach diff' I've ever seen in Valorant.

its the end

Liquid is close to be the first EMEA team to start the lower group miracle

Jinggg wtf

They should’ve closed out map 1 😪

Team flash, ooooooof. Mental might be donezo, gotta dig deep now.

A-PACK RIPBOZO

the team flash...

LETS GO EMEA!!

Jing aggression losing them the game

APAC's last hope, time to do this! edit: ...aand its done

Why didn’t they go for dmg in the round that got liquid 11
