well yeah, marved was a sixth man in 2023 and pancada was on sentinel so even if sentinels made it to LANS both of them wouldn't have been good smokes players tbh. If marved was on NRG they would have still made it to tokyo and champs, if pancada was still on LOUD they would have still made it to tokyo and champs, meaning they probably would have been top 3 in one tournament last year (for pancada maybe top 2 or 1 since tuyz wasnt experienced during LOCK//IN). Mako outperformed them in a year in which neither was in a good position to compete, and considering that we both probably agree marved and pancada would have produced similar results if they stayed on their teams, I don't think it's a question that mako is below them. I need to see mako win a trophy at least once. If it's on DRX sure, that's fine, but honestly I think he'd be able to produce results off of the current coaching staff he's on.

yea thats why that guy said mako. personally imo (judging from all their peaks) its probably marved pancada mako s0m tuyz. Marved and Pancada have won majors and even if you call either one of them flukes, they've been in the top 3 of more tournaments than mako has.

yeah its for toxic players but im not sure why boaster is on it lmao

Pancada wasn’t at 2023 champs fam

yeah

sorry yay defender, 2025 he wont lose a map and have a longer winning streak than VS

it'd be funny if the best player of 2022 had a 15 game losing streak, tied for the longest one in franchised

Nephh had military service
Juicy wouldn’t be eligible until next year

I think G2 are probably better but M8 is definitely the more likeable team tbh

praying yay loses to dfm and prx lfg

he was bought out by bleed before the demon1 stuff according to marved and crashies on stream because they said he left because the bleed offer was so big

surely yay is getting there no?

apparently he had offers from NRG pre-EG implosion

ong ur right

it got personal apparently because when crazyguy said to chill the fuck out sscary got him off the team lmao

He was born in Tanzania not Asia

nah cuz if u read the thing crazyguy said he is NOT having it with sscary LMAO. Nephh was old enough he just had military service. Tbh I think if we keep yay they really have to do smth like:
Sscary
Yay
Benkai
Zest
Monyet
And then get a coach from EMEA or NA. These players are all good and benkai is always good for mental, afaik you could also get that DRX academy team coach that everyone said was good (including stax and mako) if he’s willing to speak in english, if not I would look for someone like McE as he’s had experience with yay and he works really well at team play and strategy which I think is what they’re lacking the most. They have the pieces I just think they’re using them terribly.

The issue is crazyguy and sscary are beefing

yeah I really think that they made a huge mistake with this pickup. Either they needed to build around yay and work around his play style or don’t pick him up tbh.

Cned is currently on what looks to be the best emea team, tenz just won a masters and yay has aids and syphilis

don't remember FPX winning 2 masters unfortunately, that means shao is the worst initiator ever !!!!!

can’t believe FPX were shit in 2022, LOUD was the only good team I can’t believe it guys. That shao guy? Shit get him out of there, make way for kiles and starxo, the true goats of Valorant.

nah a lot of their games were just guy diffs

womp womp little dude

Why did they replace him with Retla, bro was fragging out for the team and was probably the best player on the previous roster besides maybe sscary and they replace him with this guy

ngl pacific's floor is so fucking shit but their ceiling is super high. The gap between PRX/GENG and BLD/GE is the fattest shit I've ever seen.

oh okay, have a good one

get on your knees for nozwer and shyy to come back and make sure aspas never sees a bad day in his life ever again because god knows he owns this league

I mean yeah, if CS skill translates to VALORANT then S1mple wouldn't even need to move out of spawn to drop 30 every ranked game dude.

didn't u leave the val community dawn? or was that someone else

I mean s1mple underperforms in low immortal lobbies and he has like 400 hours. I wouldn't doubt he could get T1 but to say that it would be easy or something is an overstatement. The op, rifling, utility, meta, etc is so much different from CS that the only thing that they share is being a tac FPS.

all im saying is johnQT is not the entire reason that this team is good, Aspas always wins LEV maps

yeah, an igl is important to every team, but you cannot be serious if you think LEV is winning this game with like keznit or mwzera. Aspas is the greatest duelist this game will ever see and I will stand on that till the day this game dies, johnQT isn't the greatest IGL

105 kills from zekken and demon1

ong ange1 is scripting out the entirety of champs 2042 for the next NAVI team (he will have passed of old age by then), every round scripted to the second. Masterclass in igling

yeah, during the 3rd map lol

not many strats for NAVI or FNC to give no?

sub is the one that qualified do not sleep on the goat patitek

also fam SEN's IGL started ramadan a few days or a week before this im pretty sure lol, allg tho im jus fucking around

NiSMO doesn't count as an import because he has citizenship iirc, JohnQT had a work visa

GENG changed their entire roster and SEN changed 2 players

https://www.vlr.gg/312768/sentinels-vs-team-heretics-champions-tour-2024-masters-madrid-swiss-stage-r1

pick up McE to play smokes no?

for sure let marved play jett/raze (proven T1 duelist) and put demon1 (1 trick controller smh) on perma omen (his best agent)

wish emea had igls to carry themselves to some wins 😴

ngl would keep him just so that boostio and NiSMO would have familiarity with their teammates + eeiu is a hypeman that matches boostio

reduxx boostio eeiu skuba NiSMO goes hard no?

verno getting put on current sentinels, curry is currently playing as a sub until he is old enough and they are still winning, verno is considered to be the best talent out of all of them

personally not a fan of evil dictators but there wasn't really a difference between the two we would have gotten lmao
