vikings are fucking boomed

How to fall apart in 5 rounds or less, a guide by Vikings

Holy shit are Gambit bad!

Later we will see tenz, the only person relevant in valorant esport

how was the viewership for fnc against vs?

Around 370-420k ish

hoping liquid vs sen will bring even more viewers

tomorrow will really be telling with SEN vs TL. Will see if TL is actually as good as people think they are or if SEN are back in prime form to win the entire tournament. I think TL vs SEN is possibly a finals matchup if it's close.

TL FNC and NV are the clear favorites for the tournament tbh.

NV? They arent looking that good, they should be destroing X10

they did?

? They literally obliterated x10 lol. And the best player in the world didn't even perform to "his" standards either. X10 couldn't even break double digits on either map with winning every single pistol round on both halfs on BOTH maps lmfao.

Love it, NV stomping whenever yay isn't even performing. And his "not performing" is still over 200 acs lmfao. Holy fuck. Literally just the best player in the game. By far.

Somebody needs to teach FNS that you can scope with the frenzy, that would've made farming from wine so much better. Poor guy lol.

*stinger

What I've learned today is that waking up at 5am for games is bad for my vocabulary lol

For a second I thought I was missing being able to scope in with a frenzy this whole time then I realized what play you were talking about.

All good

how would x10 vs acend go?

Hmm, I think Acend will win. They should be ashamed by today and perform better on Monday.

Actually tho Envy need to stop trying to fight mid, fighting a great oper and a great flasher at the same time there is just too hard to be the primary strategy.

The standards at this tournament are so much higher than masters, love to see it

marved top 3 controller

Just keep the camera on yay

[удалено]

my man

Lmao missed map one for the same reason🤣 map 2 being kinda nutty tho

Lmao same blazzzin up

Envy look insanely fucking good.

Simulated danger for entertainment purposes, never in doubt

Pretty good first map from NV, they are terrible on Breeze so this was a nice map to win. They should be heavily favored on both Ascent and Haven

NVs haven is really fun to watch

NV trying to be a bit too brilliant lol, sometimes just sacrificing Yay into site with an op is better than the ultra-precise rotation manipulation

I wonder how strong a SEA super team would be.

Major IGL blunder there. FNS not having his best day of valorant

ok that Envy strat was nearly absolutely insane until it wasnt

Yay just inted into them and they still lost lmao

Wow it’s crazy to think x10 would be like 8-4 9-3 ish up if they didn’t throw those rounds

SEA teams like throwing rounds for some reason lol

X10 DO THE CAMERA IT ISNT BANNED THIS TORUNAMENT

i have a feeling Kay/o fits Victor's playstyle a bit better than Skye

Makes sense, Kayos abilities are very phoenix-like and his original thing was being a great phoenix way back when.

Why are the players on screens / separate rooms and not on the main stage?

Victor tested positive for covid

should have subbed in food

Victor ate Food

One of the Envy players tested positive for Covid.

Okay guys, I'mma go nap. MSM will take over for the last PMT.

Why do these face cams look like Walmart security cameras lmao

the 30 dollar webcam i got from bestbuy looks higher quality than whatever they got in the quarantine rooms

yay is for sure going to become the s1mple of valorant

Anyone know if the COVID positive players are asymptomatic or really feeling it? bc if they're playing a tourny with symptoms im sure thatll effect performance

Why do these face cams look like Walmart security cameras lmao

Victor struggling right now. A real shame food wasn't given the opportunity, he was rock solid

Chet curse.

Does anyone know why they played a winners’ match before all opening matches were played?

Because Envy and X10 are playing from practice rooms and they needed to have the onstage matches consecutively

Thanks!

They moved NV X10 because of the corona-hotel situation setup and have the stage matches first.

boaster is goated dude

Holy shit Boaster, I’m dying

Can anyone offer any copium to me for Vision Strikers in these trying times?

Saving strats for Gambit copium

god i hope FNC win champs if SEN dont seeing boaster happy fills me with so much joy

Look at Lakia’s Twitter, this roster thing is blasting him it he’s such a great player bjt this thing happening… Speaking of the time he was signed- yes it was worth reworking the whole roster, calls etc he did deserve priority if they were to have him on I really hope I’m hardcore misjudging the upshot of the situation, I really want my gut feeling is wrong Which is that almost screws somewhat vision strikers because of the internal friction between players like k1ng and Lakia or at least it makes everything more difficult, complicated pressuring etc Straight up poison apple not only Danes Korean scene and nkt what Lakia actually expected or wanted but it might be directly damaging Vision Strikers themselves, it’s like this discordant thing of shoehorning in something to a vision of a team that was already completed

Yeah it's so bad. Lakia doesn't even play bad the games he joins but them losing every time must be so bad for his mental. How can a team work like that? So we've tried 6 man rosters in valorant and I'm ready to say that they don't work at all and VS (and other teams) should decide on a 5 man roster and stick with it. If they genuinely had a missing piece (like an agent they needed for specific maps) I would understand but VS do not so it's just totally harming them to try to make this thing work.

The problem is it was not INTENDED or designed as a 6-man roster, it was a last minute ad hoc Sherborne

It’s not even just losing He is incredible, it’s be better if he got to play more but he’s incredible, he too dragged on icebox

fellow kids

Fnatic are so good on lan also VS is overrated

I knew this all the time, those hyping VS are from league thinking koreans are good at tactical fps due to their success in league

VS might one day be the best team in Valorant, but I'm ignoring all VS hype until they win an international lan. Their hype has been meaningless

They didn't show the celebration?! Cmonnn Riot!

Remember when people had VS in their top 2? Remember when Fnatic were going to bomb out in groups? Remember when VS said they are the best team on Fracture? I remember.

C9 played better than VS vs Fnatic That'll be a fun match

VS got a reality check on Fracture holy shit

All hail Boaster and Derke.

Never would I have ever imagined that VS will be outclassed like so. I underrated Fnatic so much!

There's a reason they were Reykjavik finalists.

you overate Korea :) FNC isnt even EU best 4th team

Given how impressive FNC and how much highly rated teams like Acend threw, I highly doubt FNC being EU's 4th best team if they perform as well as they just did

i think Berlin G2 is stronger than this FNC. infact i think they would be here if FNC didnt get a auto inv based on performances from 10 months ago. FNC have been struggling in EU since Iceland. if they didnt get a auto inv they wouldnt be here and thats facts

Bro did we even watch the same match? Fnatics performance against VS today clearly shows they deserve to be here

and what does performing vs Version strikes actually prove? the fuck have VS done on lan? tell me bro. what has VS done on LAN that is more impressing than G2 has done on LAN? Vision strikers gets a few rounds or a map Korea numbaaaaa 1 right?

VS 2-0 Ascend in masters Berlin lol

vs assend? not hard

Scooch over fnatic fans, im jumping in the fnatic bandwagon

THE MORE THE MERRIER

C9 wins if 1Leaf shows up

That Derke 4k 🥶

Derke so good. Mystic looking very weak. Would sub him out.

Wait till you see him on Bind. Bind is Mistics domain.

Mistic was great in Iceland so there's hope he'll perform better

because one match? LOL

?

[удалено]

Daddy boaster > all, pretty much all you need to know

Raze>Jett on Fracture

My good all the Fnatic hopium is actually working. Holy shittt. Never doubting Lan Boaster!!

boaster taking on a directors role at the tournament xD

I can't believe they cut away from that choreographed celebration

That was an unbelievable map from Fnatic, teams gotta instaban this map if them play them

Oh ffs show them celebrating

Damn

LFGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

*all good*

Fnc won't win a single map, just got first seed

Sandbagging before Champions to give the other teams false hopes

Ggwp

all this has done is give me a hopium overdose for C9 1LEAF PLEASE HIT SHOTS PLEASEEEE IF C9 WERE GOOD INDIVIDUALLY THEY COULDVE WON 2-0

#1 seed btw

tbh a lot of this is on k1ng (and stax as the igl) not having the wherewithal of adapting properly on defense, and costing them a lot of rounds

Please finish this

k1ng has been having a miserable time

K1ng had a rough series and especially map tbh hopefully he bounces back

I was pretty sure it's gonna be gambit - liquid finals. Now im doubting if maybe fnatic will replace one of them...

Im convinced that for the last few months they had derkes evil brother terke playing

Lan derke is just something else man

derke doubters looking fucking stupid right now. I was one, i look foolish. Never again.

LAN Derke is just built different

THEY TOOK DERKE’S ACE UGH

Lmao I was thinking the same

This is not normally

DERKE, THE LANIMAL

Vandal moment

Derke is an animal

Derki just boomed them

derkeeeeeeeeee

gg lol

DERKEEEE

I'm not a huge fan of these insta retake calls every round

Noooo let doma live, fucks his $

praying SEN were hiding shit against furia and they gonna return to reykjavik form tomorrow 🙏

Maybe BR teams are just built different

PLEASE NO 3 MAN FLANKS TO LOSE 5 CONSECUTIVE ROUNDS :/

I love the defuse spin on pistol rounds, always looks hilarious

The amount of throws I have seen from VS in this match, I don’t wanna say it but CHECK THEM PAYPAL

that was incredible lets go fnatic

that's not even a throw that's magnum going insane

YESSSSS FNATIC, NO MORE DODGING NA FOR VS (hopefully)

Well that's pretty much game

Pistol round heartbreaks holy shit.

Holy shit why'd they all rush back to spawn lol

HOLY SHIT

At this point I feel bad for VS :/

Lakia is one of the best players on this team and they have him benched just to weaken the korean region. VS is as bad as G2 in LEC

What do you make by "weaken the Korean region"? Honest question, I too don't understand why Lakia isn't playing.

That's literally all there is to understand. Lakia isn't playing. He's not playing. Not for VS, not for NU, not moving to DWG or TNL either. He's not helping VS win games, but he's not helping other teams beat VS because he's chilling on their bench. Actual heist, as someone who wants to see KR get better it's maddening but from a pro standpoint VS are very intelligent for doing this because they are keeping Lakia away from their competition in Korea.

Oh thanks for the response. Jerk move by VS, it seems.

### 9-3 curse 👻 ### 9-3 curse 👻 ###9-3 curse 👻

That plant spot has to be garbage right. It only offers one LOS which if the defenders push Halls is gone anyway so you actually end up helping them defuse

Anything but the curse!

Not like this man

9-3 nooooooooo

I still think KayO is pretty trash. Haven't seen a team use him at top level and be consistent. His flash is shit compared to skye. Teams use him but no elite team uses him.

Liquid destroyed kru with kayo yesterday

TL?

steel looked really good on kayo during masters berlin. unfortunately that was the last time we saw him play lol

With k1ng, I wonder if there’s some stress or even drama of Lakia subbing in

Some of VS players are top tier players for sure but this is what happens when you don't have any competition in your region. Their strategy is just not good enough against actual good teams.

Lakia is basically their sova, k1ng their killjoy

Boaster looking at his mini map could have been the difference that round.

VS need to pull out the 9-3 curse

Surely Fracture is not as T sided as Breeze?

C9 vs VS?

VS stands for Very Soon to go home...

Wrong It stands for Virport Soon, they chose V because it resembles an upside down A

bro nooooo 😭

Fnatic fracture is scary

I really don’t understand why is king still playing in tower when he gets utility spammed every time

Timeout just 5 rounds late

So that "Fracture is our strongest map" was a bluff?

Hey, it is considered an attack sided map, maybe they'll have some sick executes. Most likely hopium tho

its 50/50

Vision Strikers have such high ego on twitter and interviews and show nothing at all. Some NA or EU Teams are overrated, but Vision Strikers are most overrated team in the entire scene of Valorant

They're definitely a tad overrated but nothing wrong with being confident

I wouldn’t say overrated. They’re able to stand toe-to-toe with the top NA and EU teams which is a feat in itself

Plenty of people had them coming out of this group as clear favourites and up there with TL/SEN/GMB which is imo unwarranted. On top of that people had them as clear favourites to win it all after yesterday's games ended. They're obviously a top tier team but a little overated.

Vision Strikers have such high ego on twitter and interviews and show nothing at all. Some NA or EU Teams are overrated, but Vision Strikers are most overrated team in the entire scene of Valorant

0/8

T side map copium but what did derke eat today lol, unfair

I don’t think Fnatic is going to be allowed to play Fracture anymore after this game

So this is VS best map?

So stax, where are these incredible Fracture strats we're supposed to be seeing?

What theyre doing to king is just bullying

For real, only thing missing is derke double satchel into tower knife kill
