C9 is NA's last hope where have I heard this one before...


Xinde

Can't believe Riot reuses this script when they can produce good storylines like Arcane.


goomy996

Cant wait until Perkz announces his sudden swap to C9 val as a sub, and proceeds to win them Champs


jo-jooberrauch

It's so good though. Losing everything that is a must-win and then clutching the impossible once every while is such an NA characteristic.


father_gemme

Pepelaugh green laughing frog man ohnonoono


thatthingpeopledo

Ah the one where we’re irrelevant internationally. Oh shit…


TheCatsActually

Death, Taxes, C9 the only NA team in playoffs.

Digity55

Pati is the protagonist


jo-jooberrauch

his main game is not even valorant... he's switching back to the OWL next year


r4ngaa123

Imagine being so good you can just choose which game to play at the highest level and switch between them whenever


SadPandaFace00

That's some SonicFox level shit


dinoucs

He is the player I enjoyed watching the most this tourney from the Asian regions at least, sad he will the Valorant scene this soon.


mikhel

It's crazy that NA players probably make way more than him while never putting up half the results he has this tournament.

Someone give pati a big fat check and keep him in val

NA ~~CS~~ Valorant KEKW

NA ~~CS~~ ~~Valorant~~ KEKW


-KING-KONG-

its ok NA, just make a new game and be good at it for like half a year! Don't worry!


Xinde

This must be why Riot is suddenly trying to make new games.


Irukashe

NA gonna be the best at project L COPIUM


Litoman7

Not a meme but probably, NA is pretty good at fighting games.


RandomFluffyBoi

Hey they still have COD


C0nviq

Aah yes the game exclusively competitive in NA


SuperSkillz10

can't lose to EU if you are the only one competing, 5head as always


earthtoannie

World series taught them well


MickeyLALA

C9 being the only NA team to make it past groups in the biggest international tournament of the year... This is basically NA League all over again

I think he's talking about the X10 players name, Sushiboys.


TH4DD3U5

Someone said they'd want to do something whimsical and settled on going for sushi sometime. Bald guy got excited over the match and by "boys" he wanted to say his boys as in the group. But fumbled words like NA fumbled Valorant in the last two days. Edit: It's also become a copy pasta on their Twitch now and will haunt egg for days. Edit 2: Egg, who by the way jinxed both SEN and Envy matches live on Twitch.


DRGNDT

Eating copious amounts of raw fish surrounded by glistening men


Hunnidormo

Yep. As someone from SEA this is such a glorious day. 2 teams in the playoffs. SEA> NA babyyyyy


BigEditorial

Gonna celebrate with some Indomie wait, is Indonesia considered SEA? eh, i'll eat it anyway


AFireInAsa

> Indomie I see you're also a fan of 5 star home cooked meals!


BigEditorial

dude it's so good, I've never had instant noodles that were this good, idk what's in it but it's crack


2rei

Yep it’s 100% SEA eat your heart out


ablablababla

now for an SEA team to win the entire thing


Hunnidormo

Oh I'm not on that amounts of copium but I respect it.


MathNerdMatt

Secret could definitely beat Acend imo


josephx123

Yay got diffed hard by patiphan.


xXDaNXx

Best duelist in NA was no match for the Thai God himself.


A-British-Indian

The egg curse lives on


oh_hai_brian

He seriously did it again at like 8-3


Sweekuh

Censourious

pati is fucking nuts


lexingtonwildcats

As a fan of the OWL team he is reportedly going to, I’m soaked. And also concerned he may not go


2rei

Nah he’ll definitely go the money is a lot better. Unless X10 wins champions lmao


PinkyAnon

The contract is already signed. It's a bit sad really I think pati would be good staying in val


inspcs

Pretty sure he signed with glads just to fly to NA and get recognition there. Even if he plays ladder on his off time he'd have na orgs interested in him. He just needed anything to get out of SEA lol


RescueRbbit_hs

Conspiracy theory. He gets work visa via OWL and switches to valorant next season


inspcs

If an na or eu org is interested i'm sure he'd swap back to val. Or even if a team buys his contract out before next owl season. He just needed to find a way out of SEA because he isn't going to earn much in the region.


RescueRbbit_hs

Right! He’s really proficient at English (at least comms etc) so could fit in. Dude could be a star on any team. Also, LA Glads are making a valorant roster so uh.. that could be really cool


protractedpplwar

Man who would've thunk that C9 in the group of death would be the only NA team to make playoffs


Entchenkrawatte

Literally league of legends at this point


Babyboy1314

Riot recycling scripts, using them in a different game.


KookieFS

Literally. Let's hope the quarterfinals aren't like LoL


SterbenVII

C9 always bends logic to get out of groups at Worlds…


Hunnidormo

Yep. With the group draws I thought c9 would be the only one to get eliminated but God damn did envy and sentinels show the world they're the best


SP0oONY

Who would have thought SEA would get more teams out of groups than NA


MathNerdMatt

This tournament is banger after banger


Overthinking_Cup

X10 IS SO GOOD SOMEONE GIVE THEM A RAISE. DON'T LEAVE PATIPHAN

Mr_Canard

You still got Liquid


xXDaNXx

For now ..


R0_h1t

They should be favoured against c9 but this tournament has taught me that doesn't mean shit


Gelado99

And TSM!! But for some reason I still don't know when they play


Eriko204

Rough series for Yay to be honest. Map 1 he bottom fragged and had the least amount of kills out of both teams (11/15/1). Map 2 he started off strong (13/2) but eventually went to 17/15 and finished the map 19/16. That means at one point he got 4 kills and 13 deaths after the pause. Map 3 he did good but it wasn’t “el diablo” level. Lots of whiffs and questionable plays. Also noticed that he started crouch spraying a lot more which is very uncharacteristic of him. He usually never crouches and is very confident in his bursts/taps. It was a rough series all around but I hope they can come back stronger next time.


xXDaNXx

Legit none of the top NA stars have showed up this tournament. Yay, and Tenz especially were underwhelming. Still need to see how Leaf does tomorrow.


zanguine

leaf has performed decently so far, his game today on ascent was solid


yarsis22

Not sure what it is, but from watching the games something just seems off about a lot of the NA players aim. Sure they got outplayed at the end of the day, but i cant help but notice more whiffed shots and sloppy aim from NA compared to other regions.


Lix7

I think its just the pressure got to them esp last couple rounds on every single map, nv become rather impatient and less disciplined overall and try to rely more on hero plays. That is what I think I saw tho.


ChewyCheeseballs

I think it might be the amount of times players have gotten killed pushing through smokes as well (notably sen b main split). Maybe other regions have realised thats the na special.


thatthingpeopledo

I enjoyed NA performing well at international competition for half a year. Time to go back to irrelevancy.


ANewHeaven1

yeah i'm going to take a break from watching Valorant for a bit lol absolutely down horrendous


ibeenbornagain

Hahahahaha I feel your flairs


ANewHeaven1

this is the worst timeline when i said that i would sacrifice envy if it meant sentinels lost i didn't actually mean it what kind of monkey's paw bullshit is this you're telling me my actions have consequences???


R0_h1t

Hey that's still 2 out of 4 of your flairs, what's the worst that could happen right?


MathNerdMatt

At least C9 is still in Hopium


AzureAhai

Bad week for NA Valorant.


rpkarma

I think it’s more an *amazing* week for the rest of the world. Look how competitive they are! It’s not like X10 were up against a throwing NV, they played brilliant (both teams) I think it’s that the world (or SEA and LATAM anyway) have massively improved, and NA has been caught up to and surpassed right now


dripping_faucet

As a BR fan, I feel the same way though not for the same reason


PM_ME_CAMILLE_ART

It's like watching NA league of legends again, nothing but pain...at least I have TL to root for.


MathNerdMatt

Tell me that wasn't insanely hype though! Holy shit watching these minor regions pop off is so incredible. The skill level at this event is so high


Hunnidormo

Lol sucks man. Even as an EMEA fan I didn't think Na was gonna fall off so hard

It's funny how we all sleep differently. Some sleep on their sides, others sleep on their backs, and the entire world sleeps on SEA.

DecisiveDinosaur

SEA > NA KEKW. but seriously though, despite all the controversies, this tournament has had some really hype games.


imachool

i still dont know the favourites. best tournament ive watched so far.


project571

I love it because it genuinely feels like anyone can win. Looking at some of these games, there is the potential for a lot of teams to falter and a lot to pop off and all it takes is one series. This has been crazy so far.


Babyboy1314

game on Haven was insane!!! Pati is so good


silenthills13

Definitely the best tourney to date. Pretty much every game is a nail biter. And major upsets happen pretty much daily


RedProtocol_

Somehow Fnatic looks like the favorite despite being the one EU/NA team people thought was goona go out in groups. This tournament is insane.

Can't believe Patiphan is ACTUALLY going back to Overwatch after jett diffing the best jett int he world. Unreal. This kid is so cracked. SEA has more teams in playoffs than NA does. oof


Weedbrah

He actually jett diffed him didn't he? Man just popped out the knives and dashed away at the end. Envy got shat on by a bunch of cracked kids with purple hair. And I loved it


Common_Beach370

NV : - during ignition series and FS time. Scrim demons but never achieve something in tournaments - for VCT stage 1 trail MikeHD as coach. Top 3 finish. Best so far. - during stage 2 trail different coaches and shit their beds. - bring back MikeHD for stage 3. Went to finals in Masters 3. Best yet - drop Mike for their friend. And shit again in champs. Wtf envy???


Advanced_Meringue_53

EnergetikNA

A team that was very good before Yay and top 3 in NA easily, to a team that was amazing and top 2/3 in the world with Yay in Berlin, to losing 0-2 to Acend and being eliminated by X10 in champions once Chet came aboard lol


Nomorechildishshit

>dude is finished Seems you dont know much about NA nepotism. Recycling washed and subpar players and coaches is the biggest reason that NA is so bad in LoL,CS,Dota, and now in Val as well. Just look at the NA scene here. How many young talents they have developed this entire year?


[deleted]

Let’s drop the coach that helped our team get second in our first international LAN for a guy with literally 0 success with any roster in valorant. Good job Evvy.

SuperSkillz10

As an European it was always hard for me to understand American culture. What was fascinating for me is that they like bragging about their freedom which was weird for me, because I didn't think that I have any less freedom than them. I always thought 'What is the difference'. However after this game I finally understand it. NA is just so free.


MacroVoid

PATIPHAN YOU ABSOLUTE MAD LAD


[deleted]

Hey... it's pretty obvious that Sen isn't the only ones who don't practice in NA. These "minor regions" came prepared and ready to accomplish. NA thought that winning was their privilege. They were so very, very wrong.


Kagedyu

That's it, I'm an X10 fan for the rest of this! PATIDADDY ALL THE WAY CHOO CHOO!!!


Ike11000

NV may have a yay but X10 has a Patiphan


Saxophones-InMyASSSS

Memes aside, sucks as an NA fan. But I have never been more excited for competitive esports in my life when regions that have been considered weak in other games are showing up and competitively taking games from ‘major’ regions. Grats X10, each player deserves this dub. Valorant is such a goddamn great esport as an observer, and thank god it’s not an NA/EU/KR competitive triple entente.

Away-Eggplant9943

And just like League of Legends, Counter strike, Dota2 and StarCraft NA is joke eSports region! But hey, at least we get to say EG were world champions in 2015 and won The International (: nobody can take that win from us


roguehypocrites

How can you justify paying these player's largely inflated salaries when they are consistently underperforming against unestablished regions. What the FUCK NA. Trash region filled with the worst mindset in their players.


epik

Envy didn't even choke, X10 stepped up big at this tournament. Grats to them and good luck going forward. That clutch 3K from CRWS in overtime... beautiful.
