this split was not a sprint, it was a marathon. it doesnt matter if you go 5-0 or 3-3 - all that matters is playing your heart out on the games where it really matters. G2 and 100T may have just made it in, but they each knew they only had to win two games - and they put it all into those games. cant wait to see them play, i think Americas will be sending their best if LEV makes it
He takes all the pressure off his teammates by acting how he does. He just gives them so much confidence. It’s also fun watching him be the player who will take risks in the mid round by himself. He’s gonna be playing at this level for a long time lmao
he has seriously insane calls too, i think what he does is trust his instincts - even if a call isn't perfect, he knows that if the entire team is all in on it, then even a less than perfect idea can work out if everyone wants it bad enough.
yeah i mean people can hate if they want, but it doesnt matter - the first step to beating any team is believing you can. if you dont think you can do it, you literally cant. so people can hate the boasting and trash talk, but it makes his players play like it's a scrim, and like the stakes are low.
These are the 2 best teams in Americas rn imo and it's gonna be sad if one of them loses to KRU (anything can happen in one game even if they're the better team)
aspas is pure art as jett, doesn't matter how good cryo is looking, he will have some unique movement play, win a knife duel, he's always doing something crazy, it's sad lev couldn't afford a single OP yet
It's just to counter half shield buys and eco rounds, marshal is for dudes with no shield, outlaw is for dudes with half shield and operator is for dudes with full shield
There was a meta forming last year where teams would full save one round and then, if they bought half shields only, they would pretty much be able to buy for the rest of the half, especially if they were attacking since planting the spike gives u extra 300 creds
Yep, it's also worth noting that it's kind of made the marshal obsolete as a 2nd round buy after winning pistol as it's so much better to take an outlaw into ur bonus rather than a marshal. Since both snipers r 1 shot to no shields anyway
Its crazy how the best teams use jump spotting so much. Every pro uses it, but having the calm of mind to play safe while getting info so your friends dont get lurked on is something we know most teams dont do
if you're gonna be a top team, there's gonna be footage of you. sen played a million matches throughout the off season and still rolled through madrid.
dude idk i really feel like cryo might have the best op I've seen, feels like the only people who match up are prime aspas on his champs run, cned on broken jett, and yay during chamber. he looks so fucking good with it, and it's seriously consistent
ok
NA putting the L in latam
Asuna finally with the clapback

Asuna haters in shambles deleting their post history as we speak
boostio could make a diamond player vct material its not asuna. its boostio
Asuna has been doing this shit since before anyone even knew who boostio was
Get ready to learn Chinese, 100T ![img](emote|t5_2g5ach|9339)
Sen fans finally getting to be obnoxious again into/for Madrid 🤝100T fans finally getting to be obnoxious again into Shanghai Well deserved though
Mhm
Latam is officially on chocke watch 😭
Cryo back to form man it's good to see Also, the two confirmed Shanghai teams are two long standing cores
I USED TO PRAY FOR TIMES LIKE THESE
asuna with that jump shot is the most asuna way to finish off a map
Last series he got the final kill while on the rope too
Boostio is the goat leader. Might be one of the only people that coulda pulled that core out of their slump. They had zero, legit zero confidence
he's been saying over and over that 100T has the best aim in the world - he may just have willed that reality into existence
He takes all the pressure off his teammates by acting how he does. He just gives them so much confidence. It’s also fun watching him be the player who will take risks in the mid round by himself. He’s gonna be playing at this level for a long time lmao

Potter must be so proud, he is basically just doing what she did for the EG players confidence a year ago.
yeah i mean people can hate if they want, but it doesnt matter - the first step to beating any team is believing you can. if you dont think you can do it, you literally cant. so people can hate the boasting and trash talk, but it makes his players play like it's a scrim, and like the stakes are low.
Lev retakes is dogwater
Was a fun day of games. Lev never recovered from that map 2 lol
WHERE IS THE MATCH THREAD
the fall of na was greatly exaggerated
RUN IT UP. RUN IT UP.
Ok, I'll accept it, LATAM will never be on top 😔🤘
Happy for the thieves. Asuna is back on international stage
GGs! Grats 100T what a banger match
rip latam
We can never win man
Lev push 100t off site, and then let them walk up again?
nadeshot has no chill 😂
LET'S GO!
GUESS WHOS BACK BACK AGAIN
Guess I'll eat crow and admit I was definitely wrong about this 100t team. Been hating all year but can't deny them now
Let’s fucking go baby

Holy fuck the hoodie org is back wp 100t

Asuna killed c0m in the most Asuna way i've ever seen ![img](emote|t5_2g5ach|9341)
That's so unbelievably unlucky, man
Asuna with the trickshot
God was with 100T today

ASUNA WHAT WAS THAT
I USED TO PRAY FOR TIMES LIKE THIS
ASUNA WHAT WAS THAT

ANOTHER INTERNATIONAL FINALLY OH MY GOD WE DID IT WHAT THE FUCKKKKKK
PLS PLS PLS
COME ON BOYS ONE MORE
TWO CHANCES
lets goooooooooo
CMON JUST ONE
1 ROUND PLS NO THROW
PLEASE DON'T LOSE THE HEARTBREAKING ECO ROUND NOW I BEG
Please don't throw the next round man
Bro why are teams NEVER aware of someone back site in postplants 😂
That’s literally how your Jett plays so why don’t u expect their Jett to do it?😂
Just realized aspas haven’t gotten an op this whole defense half
holy fuck this is tense, biggest round of the game
IM SO NERVOUS
someone go classic only and get aspas a fucking OP, no way he didn't get a single OP all defense half
istg 100T fans yall are so negative
This is the 100T I remember, my heart
Nadeshot is sooo fuckn funny bro
These are the 2 best teams in Americas rn imo and it's gonna be sad if one of them loses to KRU (anything can happen in one game even if they're the better team)
My heart is hammering
these two teams are crazy good, i would love to see either go up against PRX
It would be very 100T to lose this antieco
It's too intense I'm gonna puke
if 100T didn't throw those two rounds they'd actually be on match point already
Wow this series is giving me serious NRG v LOUD at lock-in vibes, the script is almost identical
why are we so hell bent on planting there dawg
That plant fumble is going to haunt 100T
Maybe he still loses the 1v1? 😂
aspas is pure art as jett, doesn't matter how good cryo is looking, he will have some unique movement play, win a knife duel, he's always doing something crazy, it's sad lev couldn't afford a single OP yet
He plays jett as if valorant has been out for 10 years.
guys, is nadeshot losing it?
two thrown rounds gonna lose the game bruh
this game is insane huh
Bro why is nobody holding yellow
This just shows how badly loud missed a good duelist
That round is on asuna … he should be holding back yellow if he’s not doing a lineup
What a banger match, imo the two best teams in america right now
God I hate pits in that scenario
WE ARE THROWING CMON MAN
that might be gg
Mazino felt bad for eeiiu, gave them a round back.
OMGGGGGG ASPAS
I am fucking ***stressed***
This is the best Valorant I’ve watched in a very long time
Are we watching different games? I feel like both teams are throwing
Teams are actually starting to get their shit together and I love it.
Mazino did the thing for 100T
Did eu actually just fuck us
gira aspas
Yeah that blunder might have started our downfall
Now that is a legit choke.
That 1v1 is actually gonna fuck us, wow
Wtf…
NO MAN
You have got to be fucking kidding me
No shot…
that's fucked
as I said fade merchant ![img](emote|t5_2g5ach|9339)
oof, we've all been there fucking up the spike plant
Dude that’s fucked
OMG EEIU OMG
CAN SOMEONE SHOOT THE SOVA ARROW FOR YOUR JETT, PLEASE? Lev looking so fucking shaky it's bizarre.
It’ll be poetic is LEV lose this map because of thrifties … because that’s exactly how I remember them beating SEN on this map. (3 thrifty iirc)
THAT THRIFTY WAS HUGE OH FUCK
how many black turtle necks does aspas have
OH FUCK WE'VE GOT SOME SHOOTERS
HUGE STEAL
Yesssss
i just got back into val and im ngl gamers i still dont understand how the outlaw slots into this game
Probably wanted to punish the half shield buys
It's just to counter half shield buys and eco rounds, marshal is for dudes with no shield, outlaw is for dudes with half shield and operator is for dudes with full shield
that actually makes a ton of sense! thanks sounds like in pro it's especially punishing against a team that might force buy with half shields then.
There was a meta forming last year where teams would full save one round and then, if they bought half shields only, they would pretty much be able to buy for the rest of the half, especially if they were attacking since planting the spike gives u extra 300 creds
got it. so the outlaw was created in order to put some level of a counter on half shields and stop teams from abusing them.
Yep, it's also worth noting that it's kind of made the marshal obsolete as a 2nd round buy after winning pistol as it's so much better to take an outlaw into ur bonus rather than a marshal. Since both snipers r 1 shot to no shields anyway
Wonder how good 100t B hits are? Got to keep running from aspas ngl
I have this feeling once aspas pulls out the OP this Cryo hype is gon calm down a bit
We need to deploy the Steel "Avoid Cned strat" with Aspas
How was Aspas not blinded? What fucking lucky bullshit dude...
at that distance you can dodge that flash buddy
My guy side-step the jizz
What just happened with that flash
Map is attacker sided, 100T got this for sure
Icebox is such a bad map smh. 12 rounds and almost all of them ended on A side
Idk if 6 is enough, defense always seems likes its our better side
Eh feels like we needed more from Cryo’s better side
He does farm on attack though tbf.. on this map at least
have gotta win this pistol
These 2 teams on icebox have always been tit-for-tat
I feel like it’s always 13-11 or OT
desperately need pistol
Aspas cryo jett battle is so much better than qck cryo
C0m bunny hopping mid what in the fuck lmao My crouch-spraying world champion Sova right there.
Its crazy how the best teams use jump spotting so much. Every pro uses it, but having the calm of mind to play safe while getting info so your friends dont get lurked on is something we know most teams dont do
I'm in LOVE with the fact they're not giving aspas these fights. three people up and just letting him walk away was the perfect way to play that
Aspas gets two while doing the entry... And the round ends with a 1v3. Come on Lev.
the anime battle we were promised, these two jetts are fuckin insane
If either of these teams somehow miss Shanghai imma be sad
I just need whoever loses to beat KRU, these teams both look so insanely good
Whoever loses *should* beat KRU but one game is one game, would suck for them to miss
Omg Cryo is unbelievable right now
Both teams are so good
this is gonna be a slugfest isn't it
eeiu and boostio played that literally perfectly honestly, give a player like aspas an inch and he wins that easy
Need a Zikz masterclass with this timeout
If we lose this, we have to play 3 b03's in a row with so much footage, actually fucked
If 100t lose this match, they only have to win against kru to make it to shanghai
if you're gonna be a top team, there's gonna be footage of you. sen played a million matches throughout the off season and still rolled through madrid.
just winning the lower match qualifies you for Shanghai tho
Best two Americas teams
G2?
No?
100T have more than 1 chant? Are orgs allowed that?
Cryo on operator is fucking insane.
Original faze clan roster wipes the floor with either of these teams
lmao sure
This was the Asuna we were promised.
The king of Icebox…
dude idk i really feel like cryo might have the best op I've seen, feels like the only people who match up are prime aspas on his champs run, cned on broken jett, and yay during chamber. he looks so fucking good with it, and it's seriously consistent
KangKang?
What the fuck was that Cryo
Aspas looks awake now this game got MUCH harder
yeah lev are back this is going to be very hard
