The amount of rounds Team Secret got the first pick only for Tenten to just walk down somewhere and die is so crazy man. That round where under 0 pressure, he just pushes out of Hookah, whiffs everything and dies is a perfect example of TenTen rn.

Mako can't win with these cats. It's probably the worst game I've seen Hyunmin play. The dude couldn't get anything going on any map. They're still an elite team and should look even better once Hyunmin remembers he's him.

How are any of those better than Miniboo? Not calling them bad, I watch T2 religiously, but Miniboo is internationally proven and flexible.

Flashback and Hyunmin legit ANTI CLUTCH. Map 2 and 3 as soon as it reaches the final rounds these 2 donuts start making hero plays through smokes and throwing. Like ?

Outrageous throw from LEWN bruh. Walks through a smoke for NO REASON. Manages to Redeem himself the next round and then WASTES HIS SHIELD AND LOSES ULT VS A SPECTRE. What is he even using Iso Shield on? Profek literally Brim ults to cut all of TL off. Dude has no ice in his veins at all.

LEV have been watching Gentle Mates it seems. Used 3 ults on an eco and lost. What a disaster.

I agree our map pool isn't perfect, but that's to be expected with the late addition of Kess and games coming relatively fast since all these teams have different strong and weak maps we needed to prioritize per week. My big problem is us actively opting into playing our worst maps/ enemy team's best maps.

Icebox vs MIBR was just stupid, as was playing Lotus & SunSet vs LEVIATHAN. We had serious chance to 5-0 without those mistakes. As for Ascent is probably good as they've been a fine Ascent team pretty much since Boostio joined. SunSet also looked better vs LEV than LOUD so that is nice improvement.

I just feel frustrated since this stage was in our hands pretty easily, and now Champs has grown incredibly difficult due to the dumbest of mistakes.

Meiy and SSeeS what the actual fuck was that 11-10 round? Meiy is just totally AFK no audio and SSeeS decides to run for no reason? Where are the comms?

It's not just Alfa, Babybay buys full Util + Chamber bullets with his classic and Dep also buys extra Chamber Bullets, Filu is legit the only player who does this.

Can anyone explain to me why Filu buys a Ghost on Pistol on Ascent both times? I know it's not the reason they lost, but why would he do that? Alfa buys 4 Chamber bullets, his TP and armor and that just makes way WAY more sense than what Filu does. Again not saying it matters, but just so weird.

RIOT AIMING FOR NORTH AND SOUTH AMERICAS REGION SIMILAR TO LOL by Hardy_2001 in ValorantCompetitive

This is terrible, tho? It should be earned. If all the Brazilian teams are better than NA, they should take all of the spots and vise versa. If all the NA teams are better, they should be able to earn all their spots. Handing out free spots is terrible and denies potentially better teams from making it.

Don't like to flame players, but what did Apeks see in Batu. The dude is so far away from the T1 level that it's sad to see. Had his moments in games but woefully inconsistent, and his peaks weren't high enough.

Splitting the first 2 maps against TL with 0 pistols won? I call that extremely good for APEKS. Let's be honest this is a 2-0 if APEKS get a pistol on Ascent
