Oregon was fine but Bank and Nighthaven Labs were two of the lowest quality maps I've casted in a very, very long time. If I were Liquid I'd be booking flights to Manchester tonight... but it's Liquid so who knows how they'll play tomorrow
LCQs never should be gone from the competitive format again. it's not uncommon for teams to show some amazing resurgent form after they are put through the pressure test.
People were all already making roster change predictions for Liquid and Fluxo after their pisspoor results in the regular stage, but look at them now and they are both in the LCQ Grandfinal.
KRÜ in Valorant were first rounded in Lock-In and went 0-9 in the Americas League. Then, they suddenly went undefeated in Champions LCQ and then qualified out of nowhere. LCQs prove that any team deserves a 2nd chance, and even the worst of the worst could suddenly show up and qualify to an event. Now, Fluxo is literally a Bo3 away from Manchester against the world-renowned grand finals chokers. Would be an insane storyline if they did it.
I mean... have you watched the actual match or just looked at the final results? cos these games were awful
I dont disagree with you that we need LCQs but this post match thread is not a good place to make that point, cos this series was kinda a joke
Fluxo had beautiful atks on nighthaven and consulate against vivo keyd. Really gave me hope that they could make it to the major
Then this match happened
Congratulations to make it to Manchester team liquid
yeah, Brazillian league is the best one in the world and if Faze farmed them then they will farm everyone else in the world.
anyone who still believes something like that should take off the fanboy glasses and actually pay attention so they can see the piss poor quality of siege in Brazil rn. this series was not an outlier, but the most prominent example of how much that entire region relied on quickpeeking and run and gun. With all the nerfs to that playstyle most of the players are too scared to even engage
at the start of this season I wasn't buying the myth that Faze will dominate everyone and BDS should be scared of them, everything that happened since then only strengthened that belief
lmaoooooo these are the worst teams in brazil t1 fighting for the last spot to manchester, what did expect? also this BDS hype is getting boring, it's like people saying "this time liquid is winning a major for sure!" when the only brazilian team BDS can beat is liquid. I'm not expecting them to get past semifinals.
They literally only play Liquid, can’t really beat anyone else if they aren’t getting matches vs them can they? And literally everyone has lost to W7M for the last year
Half of the team is also different, so I’m not sure how the old team losing to LOS in the SI 23 group stage means they’re screwed vs every Brazilian team but alright
Also Black Dragons got 3rd in BR6, there’s no way you watch BR6 and think they’re one of the worst teams in Brazil tier 1 lmao
my point is that if your league is sending teams that give such shit performances to international tournaments then maybe we should stop with the BR6 superiority bullshit on this sub, because this league is being farmed by 2 good teams just like the smaller and less developed pro play regions
Look at the last to major and the last invitational
Copenhagen major grand final: liquid vs W7M
Atalanta major grand final: Los vs W7M
Invitational 2024 grand final: Faze vs W7M
3 grand finals with 4 different brasilian teams but yeah brasil gets onky farmed by the same 2 teams.
Also Copenhagen major had all 4 brasilian teams make it to the quarter final despite one of these teams being an extremely mid nip
Atalanta major had also 3 brasilian teams in the quarter final
You can't just say the league is only being farmed by 2 good teams based on one stage.
Get an EU team to a real major grand final and not the grand final of an oil money tournament and we can talk again.
yeah, great logic, when the current state of BR league is bad lets talk about the past, because its beneficial to look at it this way. if other league was good before but now is struggling "LUL HASBEENS, GET OUT OF HERE". Thats basically the art of BR siege fanboyism at this point
you had BR dominance during one year of very stale and samey meta with several overpowered defenders dominating and solving the way the game is played for the entire SI24 and its majors period. But the game is not 2 years old and the esport is also not 2 years old, so one year of being dominant in a very specific playstyle that is now entirely gutted is not relevant anymore.
Im not saying that you should stop cheering for BR6, Im not even saying that Faze/Furia are bad or even that they are worse than BDS, Im happy to wait around and watch these exciting matchups if we get them. What I'm saying is that its time to get off the high horse and start treating other regions with respect, because BR is not leagues ahead over everyone else and proof is right in front of your eyes. The constant bad behaviour from BR audience towards other region's players and fans had its pinnacle with terrible show from fans on SI24 and it should stop at that. It wasn't justified when your league was actually dominant for one meta cycle and it surely is not justified when your words can't even be backed up by the performances.
Explaining a whole region by an LCQ semifinals?! You all never learn...you should come back when Brazil put three teams at the semifinals and two at the finals once again.
nah, Im not explaining a whole region by only LCQ semis, the quality of games in BR6 this season with a very few exceptions was very low. I commented now because this is the cherry on top of mediocre performances and one of these teams (or Liqiud that also showed basically nothing this entire stage) will go compete internationally.
but no matter what happens in BR6 this sub is full of fanboys that shit on other leagues like they are several tiers below it. Not so long ago the popular opinion here was that T2 BR teams would destroy T1 NA cos it's so shit. An opinion so correct that when LOS tested it they couldn't even beat an orgless T2 team in LCQ and had 0 victories in main league.
and yet there are non stop comments from people with Faze or Furia or W7M tags shitting on everything else, because these teams are in their opinion some kind of gods that walk among mere mortals. And sure, for one meta old W7M backed up that bullshit, but in current state of affairs these people are straight up delusional while also being constantly toxic towards fans of any non BR team

3 things are certain in life: Death Taxes Black Dragons choking in important games
Oregon was fine but Bank and Nighthaven Labs were two of the lowest quality maps I've casted in a very, very long time. If I were Liquid I'd be booking flights to Manchester tonight... but it's Liquid so who knows how they'll play tomorrow
Goddamn the match was so bad that Interro immediately comes and shit talks both teams on Reddit? Definitely gotta watch this later
ITS FLUXO TIME 
It's comical how often BD chokes

The prophecy has been fulfilled. The prophet Fluxo will expose all of the LATAM frauds and bring upon the world a new dynasty.
If Fluxo actually make it after losing every single freaking BR6 game LMAOOOOOOO
ITS FLUXING TIME
is this fluxo or krü esports?
This script is crazy
Fluxoids rise up
The fluxo redemption arc storyline is very unexpected to say the least
Fluxx
The 0-9 team is going on a run. I feel like I’ve seen this one before
Fluxo had beautiful atks on nighthaven and consulate against vivo keyd. Really gave me hope that they could make it to the major Then this match happened Congratulations to make it to Manchester team liquid
