This is definitely the first match upset of this year Champions. People forget how great Biank is. He was the former BLG "FNS Are you Okay??" IGL and it's great that he's leading the team in TE.
I do not believe this is an upset considering this is the first international match for both teams and also Team Vitality have been inconsistent throughout the year.
Congratulations. I was a little moved when I saw LuoKing crying after his victory. It must have been a great experience for him to win his first international LAN. He is a truly fearsome controller and saved his team many times in Ascent. Showing sincere respect.
I wouldn't call them overrated I don't really hear much about them at all also they had 3 very close games against trace so honestly it was a pretty even match
@@rybr3ad I would def say they're overrated and not keeping up with the meta. There were so many mistakes on both teams, but so many more individual mistakes on vitality. Even though Trace had moments of peeking one by one.
@@Wolfdeholycow well that only counts if you placed TE on third. Everyonebwho placed TE on 4th are fucked since TE is guaranteed third now. But acutally I want them to win against lev so no one gets that 100% title
I always saw China as a hyper aggro and an off-meta region, until I saw how Trace played. Trace were so disciplined in their engagements to the point they almost looked like an EMEA team. Maybe pressure and choking is still an issue but I cannot wait to see how well they go if they get out of groups.
Iam telling u it's just a start for china, one these people get hang of the game they gonna be tough region cuz you know Chinese domination in other esports
Agreed, way more discipline than the last two CN teams, Trace is the only team which I never watch their matches in stage 2. So underrated in CN region with their disciplinary. Although map pool might be an issue in b05, but as the first time get to international events, getting to playoffs is a great achievement for them.
@@thrivinganarchy5267valve never supported the scene outside Europe and NA because yall so afraid of Asians catching up and Now we starting to own you mfs in Valorant.
Its funny because in china bind was a horrid map for trace who lost it 0-3 in split 2, their attack had like a 28% chance of winning. And yet this game they had an absolute masterclass
@hoakin4751 it's called a callback joke. Trace Esports current igl used to be BiliBili gaming's igl when they won vs NRG, who were supposed to be one of NA"s best team. Him and his team, although they didn't win the whole tournament, they beat NRG and humbled FNS and Ardiss who have said that China is horrible and that they'll never win anything. So, back to current time, Biank is now TE's IGL and now him and his team won vs the current Num 2 in EMEA and so saying "Sayf are you okay?" Is just like a call back. Hopefully you understand now
The event isn't over yet I am sure these teams will perform better coming from the lower bracket america and EMEA know how to play coming from the lower bracket very well
Where's the "China shouldn't have 4 spots" comments? If you still think that's true, then no region should have 4 teams cause they haven't performed upto that level.
It's still the weakest and least competitive region out of all the regions. Historically, they've had little to no international success to justify getting the same amount of spots as the other major regions. 1 match result doesn't rule out that comment.
That comment is still valid. This happened last event where FPX fluked a win against FUT who choked a gigantic lead on Icebox. And then no other mickey CN team won a game 😂😂😂. Same thing could easily happen here.
@@thrivinganarchy5267"fluked a win" heretics also did the same thing flunking a 10-2 half because fpxs attack half was legit that scary. Who was the closest to beating geng in shanghai? FPX. FPX didnt qualify for 1 reason they played two grand finalists because they were not allowed to face FUT again. The only ones who was flunking in fpx vs fut was fpx who shouldve won lotus. And no other region deserves a fifth or more spot, all of them would get slapped around
@@javankong8091this is quite the braindead take, logically none of the 5th seed teams in any of ther other regions would find success. 100T and karmine literally stand no chance, you can argue secret are good at upsets so could win but they lost to talon who got slapped by lev To add onto this, china historically hasnt found success because they barely had time to play the game. They have like 70% less international playtime than every other region. All it takes is time before china becomes a good region
@@TheCharlottelover giving a country 4 slots for the biggest tournament of the year when they haven't even showed anything is a 'braindead take'? They cut down all the other regions that have multiple nations to 10 teams and china somehow has 11 teams competing in their region. They're just given more opportunities and haven't shown anything and probably never will
Please explain to me why Trace is down on Bind like 6-4, its 3v2 they have both sites clear, yet they make the call push out together, lets Vitality take site for free, then pushes site, luckily gets them both without dying. But why take the risk to push???
Ok call me crazy but eventho my pickems have been ruined, for some reason my heart has been telling me to route for china and apac and i think As for FUT vs edg i think edg might win. i am also getting a feeling that fpx will beat sentinels and then beat th after th loses to geng. For kru vs blg i think it will be a close a game, with one of the maps going OT and scoreline 2-1 in favour of kru. For vit vs tln i think tln will win that, and then after losing to lev trace will go against tln and another close match but tln takes it.
this game showed that TE didn't play well...its just that VIT is a horrible team, the only reason they defeated TH in emea was because TH were saving strats for champs

@@atau1262heck I think tyloo is a up coming Chinese team

@@alibekselpiev8301That's the point though. Trexx had a good game but Sayf didn't and they got smacked. Didn't help that Kicks had a disasterclass.
they're not overrated, if you watch VCT EMEA you know they're such good team. TE beating them shocked everyone since only few people watch VCT CN

Trace lost to JDG with the same comp in stage 2 few months ago. And they used it against vitality. If you can’t beat it, join them.
Biank on blg humbled nrg and now on trace esports humbled vitality
Defeating vitality isn't humbling, vitality is still a new and mid team, that Nrg lineup wasn't mid.
Humbling LEV too 😂

Masterclass deadlock on bind
