    This week on VALORANTING it's time for Champions! Hold on a minute checks notes.... Champions for a third straight week?!? Alright if you say so, I guess we do have to spend a bunch of time getting MitchMan back on the cast finally to gloat about how great EMEA is with Acend's victory over Gambit. We recap all of the matches in the playoffs to see just how KRU managed to bulldoze the competition all the way into the Semifinals, how Cloud9 and Team Liquid both disappointed in the end, and why Team Secret just might have all the ingredients to be next year's KRU surprise. Thanks to @aEvilcat and @RyanCentral for providing their insights into the matchups, with the fantastic matches and Riot's commitment to building up just a spectacular looking stage, we're all hyped about finally getting crowds to next year's tournaments!

    Let's be real, Group stages for Champions has been absolutely wild. Sure sure, the EMEA squads of Gambit, Liquid, Acend, and surprisingly Fnatic has all made it out as #1 seeds, but they everyone dropped maps or showed weaknesses while doing so. NA has struggled (RIP Sentinels and Envy), but that means that we finally have smaller regions representing in the playoffs. Well, all except Korea with Vision Strikers getting bounced out, someone please make sure Achilios and Paperthin are doing alright out there ok?

    Champions, Champions, CHAMPIONS! It's the full Champions preview day as we do deep dives into every team for Group Stages, joined by some of the smartest minds in Valorant today. @Dream_val brings us his views on Groups A and B, @DaksCasts joins us to bring his energy and knowledge of SEA and Group C, and @MikesHD is back to deliver the big brain takes on Group D (the D stands for Death btw).

Or will the dark horse Vision Strikers prove @Paperthinhere and @AchiliosCasts right and win the entire thing? Whatever the case, the next week is going to be real fun!

    Hark, the trumpets of war from Champions blows in the distance! Players are already quarantining and possibly driving themselves mad like Boaster and Patiphan, but at least the group stages have been drawn and we can get down to speculating matchups and groups of death (It's group D btw). We also had @tanizhq of ex-Heretics and ex-SMB coaching fame come by to give an incredibly candid and illuminating interview, and lastly we take a look at just how G2 Gozen was able to secure victory in the latest Game Changes EMEA tournament!

    The topsy turvy world of Valorant roster shuffles continues as TI courts Steel, TSM releases Hazed, and 100T drop FrosT. It's going to be a while before the next season begins, do any of these teams have a need to rush their rosters? We also take some time to look back at Team Liquid dominating RedBull Homegrounds, the rise of the Kansas City Pioneers and Pittsburgh Knights in the Valorant Elite Showdown, and we take a peek at the ongoing Game Changers EMEA Series 3. Oh yeah, and let's not forget there's this suave Daddy who got released in Chamber, and might just be ready to shake up some pro comps going forward!

    It's a lovely day as we managed to snag @officialfRoD, @Dream_val, and @SyykoNT to have a Coaches Roundtable to talk about what actually goes on in coaching rooms, what are the requirements to be one, and why MMR doesn't matter at all. In the meantime, the post-Champions roster shuffles continue as notable teams such as Nuturn, Andbox, and Faze make changes, while NIP packs up and moves everything to Brazil. Lastly Uber yells at RedBull for their terrible handling of their B-Stream during Homegrounds, and we marvel at how cool Arcane is and how well it's doing cross platform marketing!

    It was our absolute pleasure to have Cloud9 Blue's Xeta (@officialXeta) join us on the show today to give us some insight on his team's advancement to Champions by winning the beleaguered LCQ NA, best of luck to them back in Berlin! We also cover Chamber and how he might impact the game, and we also were lucky enough to snag the services of @JessGOAT to give us a rundown of how Game Changers EMEA shook out in the end. We also had MitchMan get very irate over Upcomer's article on Cned's involvement with the Turkish money laundering scheme, so all in all it's an episode not to be missed!
