Can't wait for this! I hope TL and Sentinels go against each other!

[dov]

The title sounds so badass man, like "The Champions of VALORANT" this is gonna be so insane

[StarBrlight]

whole tournament should be double eim, i dont care ifit takes longer, we get more hype matchups and more chances to really get the bets team as the champion

[dankify]

imagine gambit loses their group. It looks so easy for them cause the other regions just arent strong enough to overtake them

[sethyoder]

Can't wait for the two finalists to get randomly seeded into the first round of quarters. Love this single elim bracket. It really gives you the best finals possible, right guys?

LET'S GO TEAM SECRET!!!! WE WAITED FOR THIS AFTER THE WITHDRAWAL LAST TOURNAMENT DUE TO RESTRICTIONS!!!

1. Tenz vs Scream

Just my two cents Riot, but it would have been more awesome if:

(A) An upper and lower vracket would apply because this is the last and the grandest tournament of the VCT. It also adds up the drama and pressure. And yes, I'm aware that I'm talking about the TI system, but cmon. I like it better that way, knowing that maybe my fave team could still have a chance to go to the finals after getting eliminated in the upper bracket (ex. Fnatic in Iceland)

Or

(B) Instead of Bo3 and Bo5, how about a Bo5 and Bo7 just like in LoL Worlds? Would be getting my money's worth if that happens.

WOW THIS IS SUCH A COOL CONCEPT FOR A CAN'T WAIT

[apo__tato__sal__ad]

I think Group D will be very entertaining to watch

[ImTheSiIence]

Are you actually kidding me, why is it SINGLE ELIM??? This is the culmination of the ENTIER YEAR and you're going to make it a single elimination what the hell guys come on. Please don't pull an Overwatch with this game

[Alecsdotwav]

gambit against team secret deym cant wait

[jaker]

I'm even looking forward to seeing what the stage looks like never mind the games 😂

We're no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
We've known each other for so long
Your heart's been aching but you're too shy to say it
Inside we both know what's been going on
We know the game and we're gonna play it
And if you ask me how I'm feeling
Don't tell me you're too blind to see
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Never gonna give, never gonna give
(Give you up)
We've known each other for so long
Your heart's been aching but you're too shy to say it
Inside we both know what's been going on
We know the game and we're gonna play it
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye

Thats why DOTA2 has a better format than any other games. All teams get to play for what they deserve to be in this tournament. There will be no underdog stories here. Lowerbracket runs til champs is impossible here becuz there are no lowerbracket in the playoffs.

[azrrrrrrrr]

Havent watched single competitive valorant match so could someone give me tldr of the teams? Who are the favorites? Who are underdogs that could win? Which region is the best? Who are the best players?
