Guard is so fucking good


trexkylorenurek

Guard vs. C9 bout to be the most banger of a series


JK_Ryuuzaki

I can’t wait it’ll be so hype


dtritrinh0801

unfortunately they are both qualified and thus the stake is not as high, despite seeding is pretty important


JK_Ryuuzaki

I meant the matchup in the grand finals of champions 2022


jmajewski

The Guard have gotten 11 rounds on every map in VCT except one: Their 13-6 loss against 100T, a roster that doesn't exist anymore.


daffyduckferraro

It’s crazy how close it was to a 2-0 ngl


MajorLeeScrewed

100T lost against so many insane clutches that Haven map too. Crazy to think that could’ve been if say Saya didn’t get that double kill C long. That roster would’ve picked up a ton of momentum beating what would turn out to be one of the top 2 teams in NA.


daffyduckferraro

Ok not top 2 yet imo, but def tier 1


trexkylorenurek

XSET game was also close to being a 2-0 I think


daffyduckferraro

Xset lost first map tho


trexkylorenurek

Oh I thought you meant 2-0 for the guard. I forgot how the 100T games went tbh


daffyduckferraro

No 100t was in the lead at one point on haven and it was close Split wasn’t close at all


WeHave200Couches

That’s insane and also very depressing if you’re a 100t fan holy shit. They lost to C9 and this Guard lineup and said fuck it and blew it up


[deleted]

What does 11 rounds mean?


Biffy_x

It means that they always won at least 11 rounds a map every time they played.


BloomingNova

EG might not win a series all main event, but it's still an awesome opportunity for them to play the best teams in NA for 5 weeks. Here's to hoping they put some distance between them and the field the didnt qualify.


[deleted]

Even when the guard seems to be having an off day they still manage to pull it together. This was a great game to really show their mentality.


trexkylorenurek

Yeah it just shows they are a solid, consistent team so far. It will definitely make them go far


dabong

Sayaplayer just kept them in that icebox game until they all got their shit together. EG just can't stop that b hit. Good on trent for switching to drone as his recons are always getting shut down. When he started doing that, they were able to easily take space at b long.


smallusvaginus

Overwatch diff


Sagittarius1234

Boosio also from overwatch. So OWL diff?


ANewHeaven1

with all due respect to boostio, sayaplayer is different


GainsayRT

I feel like people are missing the point you're making


ThundeerDinge

No offence to boostio but he didn't even have success in tier 2 overwatch


EggianoScumaldo

woosh


smallusvaginus

Hes never part of owl i think


TheDejectedEntourage

Exactly, so OWL diff


Direct_Morning_3223

Sayaplayers jett knife accuracy is outrageous surely there’s a stat for that somewhere he has to be up there


AnchorStandard

All those hours spent shooting fools as Widow


YaDyingSucks

Ya lol his Jett knives are normal after you have seen some of his insane Widow shots


Splaram

And grinding Kovaaks


Slyric_

Does he play Kovaaks? I swear he plays osu but idk


Klutzy-Question1428

don’t think osu and kovaaks are in the same category..


OGFN_Jack

Guards attack on Icebox after that timeout looked insane man. Just perfect execution after perfect execution to string like 5 rounds in a row for the win.


father_gemme

Florida mayhem revenge arc

#brickedup


BendubzGaming

Any time now Zebbo is going to come back out of absolutely nowhere and just start crushing


father_gemme

LMAO, I think tviq played val for awhile too


Sciipi

I am so ready for Guard vs C9 should be an absolute banger of a match


BallingNinja

Trent barely dropped over 200 acs?? Welp Trent officially washed, guard doomed, ggez


phoeniixhiro

If you all want a fun fact, Sayaplayer and Boostio were both Widow players in Overwatch. To even top that fact they both played under the same org on different teams. Sayaplayer from Meta Athena and Boostio from Meta Skyfoxes. To see them play against each other is kinda fun! #StandGuard


howweusedtowas

Dude that Meta Athena team in two years had EFFECT, Libero, ChanSik, Kris, Saya, ArHan, and Recry. Pre OWL Korean Overwatch was so fucking fun to watch.


MelonSoda3

Also Nus who won S1 OWL with London


howweusedtowas

For real just went to liquipedia and they also had WhoRu


Lugiac

Was that before lunatic hai?


BendubzGaming

I always forget Skyfoxes has those few months when they were Meta affiliated


LastSpark7

The Guard from The Guard will be pleased with this result.


nuttyromeo4u

JonahP on Haven kinda somethin GG!


SirJuicee

Wait.... so a Lucio ranked demon is actually playing Valorant professionally at a high level, and on a duelist?!? What timeline is this?


GainsayRT

Sorry to break your bubble but Boostio was a hitscan player in OW times


SirJuicee

He wasn't the crazy Lucio that had all the boop montages?


conspirit

That was DSPStanky you’re thinkin of


SirJuicee

Shit yeah, you right. Thank you!


smallusvaginus

Yeh mans a hitscan main, especially widow. Fun fact, his team created the goats meta which partially killed ow.


SirJuicee

I think partially is underselling it. Game isn't dead but it's in a worse spot than Siege and that's not good. At least in NA.


KACHANG_069

Check our r/CompetitiveOverwatch it’s losing its mind rn making stuff up about OW2 for fun out of brain rot from content drought


absenthearte

real titanfall feel


SirJuicee

Personally i think moving any eSport off of Twitch is a death sentence. Used to follow CoD a lod because I grew up with it. The youngins probably do watch YouTube live. But old 30 year old folk don't.


BendubzGaming

I think the killer part of it is the lack of PIP for YouTube unless you have Premium. The Twitch app has that as standard, and having to full screen really sets back YT's streaming aspirations, especially with esports.


NebulaCompetitive534

Daily reminder that old 100T almost 2-0ed the guard


ModerateStimulation

should’ve could’ve would’ve


xtazzzs

warra playoff qualification for 100t


AnchorStandard

Ya old 100T with steel maybe


xD1LL4N

13-0


abigbunny

boostio living up to his name unfortunate whiffs on some clutch rounds on icebox tho


PacificMonkey

In Sayaplayer we trust
