So close Game. EDG made a really good attempt. S1Mon is definitely bringing new strategies and ideas to EDG. I feel bad for Haodong, but if S1mon keeps playing well like this, he won't be able to return to being a starter. They actually have a chance to come out #2, and it looks better than FUT/PRX so far.
This really was China’s day. First TE beating LEV and even though EDG lost it was incredibly close. I guess it shows China might not be as bad of a region as everyone thinks
@@lilyng1097 Nah it looks like KR will be top but with a small gap and NA is falling. It's almost like every other esport.. not surprised. By 2-3 more years things should show.

China no longer seems to be the weakest region; the first and second place teams played good matches against the best from other regions, and the third place team beat the champion of the Americas.
They’re still the weakest region. These teams that qualified are the only good teams in China. Compared to every other region, where they have several teams that are on par with the teams currently at Champs.
Blud won one game and thinks too much already. 😂😂 If you put all the teams from each region head to head, you know it in your soul that china will still get obliterated
Some Chinese crowds were crazy. I was in the arena and found so many Chinese people were here, and some of them made lots of NOISE and blocked me from focusing the match, like yelling 'Jiayo' on CLUTCH time. I was so worried about G2 players would be interrupted. Jesus.
It's more fun when it's crowded, just like watching football but without noise from the audience. Back in cs the player even can hear the noise from outside because the audience is very crowded supporting their team
Why does edg throw the game when they are on 11 😭😭 they handed out 3 rounds of haven to g2 on a silver plate omg They lost in the most painful way possible
Not to mention these 4 are upper bracket qualifiers the other 4 playoffs qualifier will have to play in the lower bracket which means the upper bracket team will have double map bans💀so likely no 1st seed team will win champs this year
@@jordan-eh8ni the team in the upper bracket is usually favored and there will be no seed 1 team in the upper bracket so likely no seed 1 team will win champs

G2 thought they would win after choosing the ice box map after beating prx the G2 team became confident in the ice box map but this time they were against the vct cn champions and my guess was right they really lost in the ice box map. So the conclusion is: Prx team play is really bad they always make silly mistakes I always laugh when they play team like they don't deserve to represent pacific in the highest event Valorant is really embarrassing haha😂
Dude I agree they aren’t at their top form but dude there’s a reason they got third at Madrid, won stage 1 in their region, were the first to qualify for champs, and fricken have been to 10 international events in a row (11 total). Ever since Shanghai it’s true their team play has been god awful, but Jesus Christ go take a breather, man.
As of today, one team from each region has qualified for the playoffs. And it is not the #1 seed team.
Yeah, honestly could be our most balanced champs that anyone can win( compared to others at least)
I really thought EDG would break that curse only for them to throw their game 3 😂
@@Suc-Chiinah, g2 was just online for game 3, they definitely threw game 2 tho

Haodong probably won't return as a player because he seems like he'd have more fun as a coach.
Everyone's better than FUT and PRX is in the lowest of the low right now...
@@noidhuma I think Haodong is becoming a coach soon for EDG or maybe another team, his IGLing was always better than his playing

China better than South America rn
All the regions are at about equal right now, 1 qual for each region, every region has 2 in an elimination match. We will just have to see who falls

Bro editing while watching live 💀
Good match. Amazing tatics and strats from both teams. Truly embodied what it means to be top teams.
#1 seed curse completed
This curse started since Shanghai
I feel bad for Prx because they are not going to win against this iteration of EDG. That's if they win against FUT...
They will win against FUT, you guys need to calm down.
@@chucknourish7075 They will win if they play like in 2023. If they play like in Shanghai and their match against G2 on Champs, nah.
@@chucknourish7075 they ain't winning anything. They are still saving strats for the years to come.
Prx doesn't look good, they used to be only good team from apac miles except drx at times but the mighty has fallen
@@shortsondemand4217 they're saving strats for 2028 champs
33:29 that one whiff stopped the 2v4 clutch. Unfortunate but this was such a good try from S1mon.
edg threw like crazy this game....i hope they dont make these mistakes again in the decider match
they wont, i wouldnt even worry about prx because of how crappy theyre playing
@@mountainman077 yeah prx is just a quite stacked team with zero sense to winning
G2 also threw. If not, it would've been an easy 2-0
@@danderich2768 It's their "fun" and impatient style that everyone figured out already. Not sure why they didn't manage to change it.
@coltonpatrick4978idk about out skilled but definitely out called
can we just agree that icy is just incredible...
19:38 I'm so pissed on how EDG suddenly changed their strategy from ruling A to pushing mid and completely lost their map 😂
Best match in champs Seoul so far.
Not with the throws they did, best match imo was GenG TH
When does SEN play?? They’re out right?
China no longer seems to be the weakest region; the first and second place teams played good matches against the best from other regions, and the third place team beat the champion of the Americas.
China has to do a lot more than that you think a couple matches matter? But great games from them that‘s true.
They’re still the weakest region. These teams that qualified are the only good teams in China. Compared to every other region, where they have several teams that are on par with the teams currently at Champs.
Blud won one game and thinks too much already. 😂😂 If you put all the teams from each region head to head, you know it in your soul that china will still get obliterated
They are clearly the weakest region. Wtf u on about
Let's see in playoffs.
Edg has insane reaction times

avg Chinese 😂
It’s just cheering, no? Not like that’s giving away any in game information
It's more fun when it's crowded, just like watching football but without noise from the audience. Back in cs the player even can hear the noise from outside because the audience is very crowded supporting their team
Damn, imagine getting hated for cheering your team
oh no, it's as if they're in the crowd to cheer for a team in their home continent
😂 Happens all the time, clutch or not.
Crazy match
Icy on his day is a top 5 duelist itw
Best Champs yet!
What a throw 😂
they are the new TH and FPX
And with that….
All first seed teams are defeated and need to play in the decider for second spot
Dang even if EDG meets PRX again, I doubt PRX will qualify if EDG played like this😂😂
Ok... So good bye for PRX, I guess?
NA are the defending world champions.
Why does edg throw the game when they are on 11 😭😭 they handed out 3 rounds of haven to g2 on a silver plate omg
They lost in the most painful way possible
The current qualifiers are from 4 different regions and are not the #1 teams of their regions
Holyyyyy LMAO

EDG bottled as usual. Threw the game.
NA is so bad now like in every esports. I was wondering when everyone else will pass us lol
Nobody really the weakest link of edg
I respect g2 as a good team, but goddamn are they boring to watch. Icy in particular is probably the most boring considering he plays duelist-ish
eh, its G2. we know they are not winning shit anyway. probably get to the final, 2-0 up and get reversed sweep by Trace.
Tbh I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s the case at this point
Trace is 0-11 in maps against EDG since entering Valorant. What makes you think they're beating G2? 🤣🤣
@@jordan-eh8ni lev beat g2 in americas final. Trace beat lev today, so by your logic Trace beats G2 then?

I can't even hate you for this, PRX isn't even a good team
