Well well well if that isnt another episode of an absolutely banging podcast to watch while eating. Thanks a lot Acend, great org and great pr guy you got here.
@@mars8957 Ima be honest playing abyss it doesnt really feel that open of a map on the site itself feels compact with just a huge as mid that imo is kind of still feels meh to use unless u have an insane set play to break door and stuff but even still feels lowkey a bit troll to use unless ur lurking
@@dragonstar812i agree, looking at the map from birds eye it looks super open, but the available angles to actually fight from on the map are pretty limited
Why are they looking down on Sen’s lotus so much? They were frying on that map with the viper and switched to the deadlock for two maps with split results, acting like they were horrific on it?
As far as I can remember they were talking about banning Lotus against Sen. Sen doesn't have many good maps since split is out. Their 2 best are Lotus and Sunset and as you should know the rest of the maps are shaky at most.
@@niklanen2946 yeah but they 12-3 on lotus and 7-2 on sunset which is like incredibly good. And they are looking better on maps..those guys are hella coping. wasn't drx supposed to have the best mappool
28:10 As a Turk I can confirm that it is a cultural thing because things are not going too well in Turkiye for like 20 years and it plays crucial role for citizens. Because people losing their hopes day by day and it demolishes people’s mental health and resulting with issues. People tend to feel depressed after one flaw despite all the goods behind the flaw. That’s what happened to SMB. They were destroying like Acend and Gambit and one (only) bad international event resulted with argues, shit talks among players, stuffs etc… You see players like Alfa, woot, riens because playing as 5 Turk is actually way harder than playing as mix org and they want to get out of Turkey much quicker to basically save their lives. However in FUT Atakaptan and yetujey actually boost everyone’s confidence they put much more effort and that’s why they are the most consistent Turkish team.
The format restricted is stupid, it only has 2 options DRX vs SEN, TE vs EDG, G2 vs LEV, TH vs Fnatic or DRX vs EDG, TE vs SEN, G2 vs Fnatic, TH vs LEV
Bit late, but the PRX bind comp change was at champs final aganst EG. This was so surprising because PRX was dominating everyone at bind with their comp. They even beat EG on UF 13-9 despite losing both pistols. That was so baffling!
I don't get it why they hate sen like sen don't even care about these two like one day someone sent tenz a superchat asking ablut TMV and tenz was like who?
yeah that is why sen is really living rent free in their minds. While sen are chilling. like those popular shows,movies,anime, Artist, band. They have haters but the show still have more fans. Haters are just vocal.
in my humble opinion, if sentinel wins against DRX, i'm confident that they just win the entire tournament judging by the way the way the teams are divided and that they are in the "easier half" + their momentum will explode, they wont do that deadlock bullshit, on the final they get the veto advantage they ban ascent and haven and they play their best 3 maps that are icebox sunset lotus
Some more factors for Sen momentum is they have never won a bo3 where they lose the first map they have only won the grand finals of Madrid when they lose the first map
tmv has some serious problem with sentinels broo, geng beat sen then geng was incredible but sen beat fpx then fpx was terrible (which maybe i agree to some extent) but for geng also he is kind of giving the same reason which i think is just terrible but i guess for sencity, the saying goes like keep hating and we will improve
They always doubt sen even when they won madrid they said geng choked. Thats why these mfs look depressed they only see the negative when sen win. This is why I want sentinels to win champs to see what excuse they will give to discredit sen.
Haters always have excuse when someone win. all teams look bad and choke when they lose. chokes are losing a huge lead like 10-2 and 11-3. You can't choke when the other team is just better.
Fyi most of the rounds that geng won were just because of texture, everyone else on the team was not playing good, lakia went 4/15 and 5/15 in both the maps, but yes sen did play better than how they were playing but fpx trolled the whole game u can't say anything abt that
@@wrekt2192 yeah they dont play bad against sen, all teams here came to play and its champs. Sen just better and getting back to their form and no one can stop it
bro imagine if vitality could sign scream. than sayf could go back to whatever he want to play and u got a top tier duellist. also signing ardiis could be an option if Sayfs says no to duellist.
Your bracket can barely be more different. for me it was g2 edg 0-2, lev fnc 1-2, trace 2-2, drx 3-2, and th winning finals against sen with veto advantage.
On trace, edg is one of two teams that i think could for sure send them to the bottom. The other being drx and they're in a bracket with both. That's so unlucky
absolutely, like they trying to say Sen just got lucky fpx played bad comp while they play good against heretics, and Geng beat sen on opening with 2-0 and came back and eliminated them while Geng was the favored team to win this champ. Like where's the credits at least for Sen on winning those?
Clearly it got you and other SEN fans panties in a bunch. I don’t want to cheer against SEN because I like Sacy and Tenz. But if they crash out after two games and everyone else doesn’t have to hear SEN fans anymore for the rest of Champs, that wouldn’t be too bad. Yall are an annoying ahh bunch.
We do this usually right after uploading here but this week at having problems accessing Spotify's publishing backend so probably going to have to skip this episode. All of the other ones go on there though.
Because humans play the game, not robots. If you were in early 2024, who would have expected G2 to become this great? No, don't focus too much on data and logic.
NGL, IF SEN WINS, THEY BETTER BE CALLED VALORANT's FIRST KINGDOM, It's okay if you dont agree that SEN will be the first dynasty but THEY WILL DEFINITELY BE THE FIRST KINGDOM (Kingdom is smaller than Dynasty, generally, and Dynasty is almost similar to Empire but Dynasty is more of Eastern and Empire is Western origin as far as I know- i may be wrong)
I swear do sen fans need to audibly hear that ppl say sen are good to feel validated? There's so much crying going on in the comments about their opinions on sen and its the most mild stuff Like they even acknowledged that sen has won a masters and they def could win the whole thing so whats the big deal?
Yes, they need everyone to suck up to their team or else they will call them a “hater”. Then they will act like SEN fans get underserved “hate” and how the “haters” are so sad. Meanwhile these idiots get heated over random pickems. Seems like every time TMV doesn’t pick SEN to win something, heck even if he didn’t put their favorite in a top 10 they will immediately call him a hater.
@@Lucaz99 No it's not that. They gave sen 0 credit for the geng win Einstein. Idc who he picks but they say the only reason sen win is cause the other team plays bad. How coincidental that 3 teams just played bad and got demolished.
@@wrekt2192 3 teams? You are including DRX already even though this was made before playoffs. Lmao In their opinion, FPX and GENG made mistakes that made it easier for SEN but in your opinion Sentinels played well. Guess what, both can be true. They literally said “Sentinels won Madrid, they could beat DRX and win the whole tournament”. What else do you need?
Well well well if that isnt another episode of an absolutely banging podcast to watch while eating. Thanks a lot Acend, great org and great pr guy you got here.
u eat for 2 hours?
@@tayasslave i ate dinner and am about to finish the rest when im going to bed which is right now. Good night.
@@DualityofLife hope you enjoyed goodnigth xD
Same eating and watching this rn lol
I wonder how SEN is on Abyss, this DRX game will be the first time we see it as long as DRX pick it
open maps aren't usually SEN's strong suit
@@mars8957 Ima be honest playing abyss it doesnt really feel that open of a map on the site itself feels compact with just a huge as mid that imo is kind of still feels meh to use unless u have an insane set play to break door and stuff but even still feels lowkey a bit troll to use unless ur lurking
i think it depends on there comp at this stage anyone can beat anyone
@@dragonstar812i agree, looking at the map from birds eye it looks super open, but the available angles to actually fight from on the map are pretty limited
Banning it was a crazy decision by them

I like this podcast because you two are just constantly putting your bias over actual evidence. I'd be doing the same shit if i had a platform 😂
before i have watched thank you guys again!
Idk if we've had a playoffs this stacked in Champs every game is gonna be interesting
The format restricted is stupid, it only has 2 options
DRX vs SEN, TE vs EDG, G2 vs LEV, TH vs Fnatic
or
DRX vs EDG, TE vs SEN, G2 vs Fnatic, TH vs LEV
wouldnt this also be possible?
DRX vs SEN, TE vs EDG, G2 vs FNC, TH vs Lev
or
DRX vs EDG, TE vs SEN, G2 vs LEV, TH vs Fnatic
Bit late, but the PRX bind comp change was at champs final aganst EG. This was so surprising because PRX was dominating everyone at bind with their comp. They even beat EG on UF 13-9 despite losing both pistols. That was so baffling!
Mute volume and cover up the score with your hand until you get to the right time. Been working for me all tournament to not get spoiled
I don't get it why they hate sen like sen don't even care about these two like one day someone sent tenz a superchat asking ablut TMV and tenz was like who?
😂😂😂 really which stream was it do you remember cause this is hilarious
yeah that is why sen is really living rent free in their minds. While sen are chilling. like those popular shows,movies,anime, Artist, band. They have haters but the show still have more fans.
Haters are just vocal.
I can guarantee that they hate SEN they also predict the same bad predictions back in masters madrid about SEN like bro give SEN some credit
IMAGINE STAX OR ZEST ON GENG IN PLACE OF LAKIA
WHAT??????????????????????? how can you replace THE LAKIA OF VALORANT
nah lakia is way better
in my humble opinion, if sentinel wins against DRX, i'm confident that they just win the entire tournament judging by the way the way the teams are divided and that they are in the "easier half" + their momentum will explode, they wont do that deadlock bullshit, on the final they get the veto advantage they ban ascent and haven and they play their best 3 maps that are icebox sunset lotus

Banger, banger after banger episode.
tmv has some serious problem with sentinels broo, geng beat sen then geng was incredible but sen beat fpx then fpx was terrible (which maybe i agree to some extent) but for geng also he is kind of giving the same reason which i think is just terrible but i guess for sencity, the saying goes like keep hating and we will improve

@@Erjuned sen were better than fpx and geng. how hard is that to admit for these guys. somehow every team just "plays bad" when they face sentinels.
@@wrekt2192 yeah they dont play bad against sen, all teams here came to play and its champs. Sen just better and getting back to their form and no one can stop it
at one hand they talk about vitality could have eliminated LEV. And FNC, both did not finished first in the group. DRX disrespect is crazy.
theres not a world where theres a fnatic and lev final
Why not
@@Lucaz99 i could go in depth but im not going to just watch ive never been wrong
bro imagine if vitality could sign scream. than sayf could go back to whatever he want to play and u got a top tier duellist. also signing ardiis could be an option if Sayfs says no to duellist.
Your bracket can barely be more different. for me it was g2 edg 0-2, lev fnc 1-2, trace 2-2, drx 3-2, and th winning finals against sen with veto advantage.
go back to streaming these :(
On trace, edg is one of two teams that i think could for sure send them to the bottom. The other being drx and they're in a bracket with both. That's so unlucky
Idk man edg beat trace a lot of times now soooo
why is edg vs g2 so easy to predict for u guys ? wasnt it two 13-11's last time ?
there is more to valorant than map pool, heretics got to shanghai finals and before that everything everyone was saying about them was "weak map pool"
Someone tell Elevated you can disable spoilers on VLR 🙏🙏🙏
2 teams underperformed against sen... If drx also plays out the same then their either doing witchcraft for prep or they're just that good
Man these 2 are just certified sen haters 😂 they just want them to lose
On vlr you can hide spoilers and it hides everthing even if you click on a done match it even hides the Player kills
sen demolished fpx and geng yet i didnt hear a single good thing said about sentinels. i hope sen proves you wrong.
absolutely, like they trying to say Sen just got lucky fpx played bad comp while they play good against heretics, and Geng beat sen on opening with 2-0 and came back and eliminated them while Geng was the favored team to win this champ. Like where's the credits at least for Sen on winning those?

Funny to see how confident they are 😂 but when they’re gonna wrong it’s gonna be hilarious 😂
two sen hater coping the whole pickem's lmaoo
W pick'em

best valo podcast ❤
Liar
First! Go cosmic divide!
Just remember, the system is likely wrong xD
4:00 lmao same
Suggestion you guys should upload your podcasts on Spotify and Apple Music so people like me can listen while driving or on the go!
agree i’ve been waiting for that
they do (on spotify atleast) its just delayed
We do this usually right after uploading here but this week at having problems accessing Spotify's publishing backend so probably going to have to skip this episode. All of the other ones go on there though.
Fnatic hasn’t done shit this year internationally but we’re still overhyping them ? Like okay
Because humans play the game, not robots.
If you were in early 2024, who would have expected G2 to become this great? No, don't focus too much on data and logic.
@@rf7182 don't focus on data and logic? 😂😂
someones mad their team didnt get praised
Guys are from EU what do you expect.
@@Katniss0000 one thing i notice with eu fans is that they stick with their teams, na fans turn on their teams as soon as they start losing.
Hope SEN disbands after champs. It will be a funny sight to see 10 year olds crying on X 😂
cant wait for Lev to go out in two games
Pretty possible
Every team could easily go out in 2
NGL, IF SEN WINS, THEY BETTER BE CALLED VALORANT's FIRST KINGDOM, It's okay if you dont agree that SEN will be the first dynasty but THEY WILL DEFINITELY BE THE FIRST KINGDOM
