Achilios and paperthin casting is passable. It's not the best choice, but it's not the worst either, but the overall lack of quality and variety in casting talents is heavily missing

achilios
paperthin

babybay 💀💀

i am not even sure we have 3 proper duos 😭😭😭😭

I genuinely dont see a single casting "duo" on this list fit to cast a grand finals. I mean sure we miss out on brenshow and panpoc, but this is just horrendous. Most of these talents are decent, but none of them look like they are at the level to cast a finals. achilios is good, but then again we dont have that duo mannnnnnn!!!!

pansy solo casting would have brought more hype to a game than this.
Fuck it man, i would have preferred steel ranting for 24 rounds over whatever we might get.

better call saul

chronicle: 3 international trophies

forsaken: error 404: not found

the worst fnatic in 2 years is still at the top of europe

Boster did say that the comp was one they tried in January before they realized it's better to perma ban that map

Do people seriously think that was their real comp?

like the comp may be the same but no way are we seeing,
boaster on sova
chronicle on omen
leo on breach

AT THE SAME TIME.

like i get if we were to see a role swap of sova and breach between chronicle and leo. but the fact that boaster played sova and leo and chronicle played breach and omen proves to me that fnatic didnt really want to show everything on sunset. they had no strats or mostly any thing with structure on that map.

boaster had very specific lineups, which would be surprising, but isnt since he is actively involved in lineup making process for fnatic. so i think they were just trying to sandbag by weirdly swapping roles and playing like that.

might be wrong, open to hear what others think

preach brother

truly.

people called them "lucky" to be in the weaker side of the bracket. constant doubters. always said they were lucky even after beating fut.

played every single day and there life was always on the line. the lower bracket run just solidifies their mental

he would've gone for the 100+ kill record in a bo5 but decided to leave that for shanghai

Played 5 series in 5 days, no breaks, no time to practice, sheer skill, experience and synergy.

Got anti-strated, came up with better strats. Got behind 6 rounds, replied with winning the next 10 in a row.

The True Goats of Valorant.
Put some respect on their name!

thats coz they always perma banned one map, and teams were scared shitless to play them on most other maps

its chronicle. his clutches this tournament just showed what kind of a player he is

only a few months in and we already have more trophies in 2024 alone than NRG, Leviatan and DRX combined in their Valorant history.

weak people need gpu. i am still rocking intel pentium at 24 fps

no, let me keep my agenda

we are in playoffs. last time i checked vlr, sentinels werent there

kc fix:

-magnum
-narrate
-tomazy
-marteen

+newzerra
+xms
+nivera
+scream

still a better org than sentinels

coz thats what the goats do. ask real madrid

a washed underperforming fnatic is better than all iterations of sentinels

dynasty lmao. bro they won one tournament before they couldnt afford to keep the players

he is actually so goated man

we are so back

oh god, this format really is terrible isnt it? either that or the rng in making the groups just didnt work out

oh brother i do care, it wont be good for my mental health otherwise

then that means we'll probably see angel on yoru or something, because i dont have trust left man

by the way we are playing this season. its almost impossible for more than 2 of our players to be activated at the same time. so chronicle activating probably means alfa goes sleeping :(

I am ready to get hurt again...

i didnt watch vitality so dont know what happened this game. but i look at sayf and i think he is that one team player. he'll be massively successful with that one team in his career which is made up of 5 synchronized synergized individuals (something like guild but more successful) and that will be it. he can win 5 tournaments in a row with that one team he has synergy with but that will be it. he is that type of player and personality. not anyone and everyone can just mesh with him

they qualified to champions before him as well. yes i know that might be a decent achievement for most orgs, but for an org at the level of liquid, it isnt that much. especially comparing their growth. its insgnificant if not negative since 2021

every team needs nats, its just not feasible and logical to do it mid season

he fits on all 11 franchise teams. yes all 11. he'll have more impact on the turkish speaking fut and bbl, coz i am not sure what comms even achieve in this TL team.

really like the name lulquit lmaoo

sounds a lot more like a certain NA player

you know and understand val, unlike the NA fans

he must have got some insane stuff on the owner of Tl because at this point its just way too much of mid-ness to go with a coach for 3 years and produce no meaningful results with one of the best backings in the league financially structurally etc

you know val

they have money resources staff history fans and everything in between. but they still manage to be consistently mid since 2021. thats crazily consistent yet so mid.

peak of valorant in 2021
fucked up 2022 coz of the war
fucked up 2023 coz of liquid
fucked up 2024 coz of liquid

he is made for so much more than this!!!! he has been consistently the best at what he does for these 4 years. so unfortunate what happens to him or his teams. he is probably doing the best he can do in a team that is not performing.

but please liquid, i cant watch my boy suffer like this. i know you dont make the worst roster decisions or have the worst playstyle. but often you are just "mid". i dont want to see nAts in a mid team anymore. plz do something!

exactly. it is honestly frustrating to see how long it has been since that shitty ranking system has been in place.

"very soon"

its the same as when cned said he'll return back to his 2021 form.... somtimes that "very soon" never comes

there can be a million different cool suggestions like that, but we also have to see how realistic they are. will player flairs do anything more than team flairs?

they also have a limited dev team, so i dont think they'll go into developing something until it has a real value

boring org, but get the bag my g

It is honestly unbelievable that we are this deep into valorant and so long since this website has been the main source of valorant statistics and news and we still dont have a proper "rakings" page!

this shit has been in "BETA 2" since a decade or something while still having tier 2 teams ranked not only in the same list as tier 1 teams, but also weighing their victories and defeats equally....

at this point i will take fan rankings over whatever the shit we have right now. like let just the fans vote on who the best team is. it will be 100x better than seeing a prehistoric rankings page where still to this day we see separate rankings for korea and apac and other shit like that....

i own this site

rest bro, leave this intellectual shit to people like babysasuke and platchat

me master

every region has an iceman until the real iceman shows up (smoggy)

Last year it was 1 team dominating the whole region

*the whole scene
