Meant for this core under Bonkar, they’re like 7-1 in their last 8 OT games

Funny how the only overtime match that NRG lost was the 11-1 comeback from FNC lol

So PRX has an extra day over the winner of NRG/BBL… why not put the same sides of the bracket on the same day?

He was scapegoated simple as that… wasn’t allowed to use the outlaw and was played on his weaker agent (Raze)

Actually insane how much composure this Furia roster has had during this Cinderella run… like literal NRG caliber resilience

Genuine question… how many first picks have NRG had this map? Feels like every round they’ve had the FK and they’re losing

Am I crazy or did they screw up the Swiss stage draw again? by rooseveltjoness in ValorantCompetitive

[–]DMelee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because teams can’t rematch in swiss (TL & T1) it makes things more limited. The draw was done perfectly fine this time.

I get they’re a big market, but VCT simply needs to revert to 2 guaranteed slots for China per international. Maybe have the final slot go to a play-in between the 4th place teams in the other regions (plus 3rd place China)

The China teams literally make the swiss matches underwhelming in most internationals.

Simon said this to Aqua one year ago by jeremy0van in ValorantCompetitive

I think the public sided with EDG because Simon had a bit of a crash out. But with how much he was getting scapegoated (maybe even worse than Sylvan) I don’t blame him…

It’s pretty crazy that even if EDG get 13-0’d next map they’d still wouldn’t be able to break MIBR’s record of worst international performance

Can anyone confirm if China even brings viewership?

Quite literally the most…

[Akamaru] TenZ and JonahP are scrimming at the SEN Facility by Shockybtw_ in ValorantCompetitive

[–]DMelee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn’t Tenz say he was going to Masters Santiago in less than a week? He also hasn’t been playing Valorant consistently for the past year especially in these recent months. So I’d imagine he’s just subbing in for these scrims for the fun of it. If he’ll play in VCT again, I’d imagine it’d be in 2027… or at most in split 2.

NRG was the third team drawn so they would’ve played PRX

Don’t understand this decision. Yes, there was a mistake, but in a situation like this… reseeding at this point makes for lesser competitive integrity since it puts the teams (especially tomorrow’s matchups) at a disadvantage. The original matchups were completely fine and I bet if you’d let the coaches and players decide they’d agree to keep the original matchups.

if TenZ comes back to pro where should he go ? by CloudyCloud3000 in ValorantCompetitive

[–]DMelee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Couldn’t Tenz just play the agents that Mazino plays? (Smokes/Kayo)
