g2's attack was insane that series and thats cuz prx on defense is very anti strattable
also prx had an off day

100%
they prep their perma and change things up on icebox and G2 look so fucking lost

some teams just permaban maps without trying them in officials is one of my pet peeves

fnc heretics
FUT PERMA BREEZE WHEN THEY HAVE CNED AND QRAXS ON THE TEAM

fnc also ahd a close game against geng but got destroyed by fut
prx prolly beat 100t tmrw even tho they lost to g2

form in this game is so RANDOM

heretics can beat every team in the chinese league 13-0 and they would still support them over geng

u NA fans are such glory hunters LMFAOO

went from glazing g2 to calling them a t2 na squad in a few days

g2 when the teams they anti stratted change things up 🤯🤯🤯🤯

and heretics are doing this with a stand in

we got so much good storylines / matches but region hate and baiters making this seem like the dark ages of valorant

the ONLY team to look consistent throughout the year in meta and game state like this
kinda crazy no?

damn i think the offseason events after champs really ruined their confidence in their innovation cuz they kept losing in those

but tbh u also got FPX coming from china whose innovation and prep looks insane
their problem is atleast clear to them now , if they dont innovate for split 2 and champs they should import coaching staffs

china is still bad , their only rivals are FPX and maybe trace/drg if they get their shit together

8 teams in each league
VCT NA
VCT BR+LATAM
VCT EMEA #1
VCT EMEA #2
VCT Pacific
VCT China

there is a world but VERY unlikely

FUT are SOOO inconsistent
and heretics havent beaten a non chinese team yet
also 100T look guranteed to make finals

so u didnt watch any events in 2022 and 2023?

i def agree , its prolly something riot had to do to get the game released in china ASAP

ya , the level of play is usually the worst at the first International event of the year
usually 2nd masters and champs are good level and are fun to watch
but all the "good teams" are jsut VERY inconsistent right now and valorant overall is very random

also riot making dogshit formats and making the masters event mean alot less isnt helping aswell

its just for the release of valorant in china

prolly tencent wanted a event in china with the game releasing this year

and for their performance , give them year

u had teams like MIBR KC koi etc all in partnership last year , they will def improve exponentially with the release in china

no one cares about the tournaments anymore, its just rage bait and region hate nowadays

idec who wins just want both teams to play at their best

only team who won their opening match was 100T
group stage practice > "time"

did u seriously think EDG were the ones the stop them?

"secured" still requires them to win

fpx beat them twice and lost the gf cuz they gigathrew icebox

both are basically the same
fpx just have better ideas / prep

fpx gigathrew that icebox in gf

he is still good dont get me wrong but chicoo/smoggy are more impactful
like less and leo

its just hard to entry against better teams , just look at any duelists stats regionally vs lan

hes made it to every lan since champs 2022?
nervous after these many lans?

u guys just rate him waay too highly cuz he is good with the op and u still remember tokyo highlights

smoggy and chichoo are waay more impactful and better players on that roster

iykyk

fns would have built an insane system for demon1
but crashies would cry and not play if victor isnt on the lineup

so victor and crashies thought one of them could igl better than FNS after 2023 (spiketalk)
and fns got dropped by nrg and s0m didnt wanna play without fns (vanity clip)

ethan joins and suddenly victor/crashies dont igl
now they realise they need an igl and get fns and s0m back on the same lineup as victor and crashies

they could have same issues they had at champs 2023 , seems like the prx match at tokyo really affected their team vibes

the c9 match he is the highest rated player LMAO

he played fine / good in 5/6 matches before igling

he filled for sen looked amazing till he took up igling
this year he is just in a dogshit system

why are u WALLING UP?????????????
u had insane crossfire and the plant was for texture JUST STAY ALIVE
ty tho giving FNC a round

now lets see if their gun rounds anti strat works against geng

imo they need pistol and their anti should be good for them to win
if geng get the plant they will never lose a round

still think its over for fnc unless they win pistol
geng are by far the best attacking team on breeze

its alot worse when ur playing against viper/brim/raze

again
ur just looking at stats

fnc won after losing double pistol and 2 ecos , pretty clean win regardless

but

boaster needs to CHILL the fuck out , he looked so nervous when geng started coming back in the 2nd half their attack was not the best

fnc hires a mental coach or someone to control boaster emotions this team will win every event

me when i only look at vlr stats

goats for stopping the start of a dynasty

nah geng are insane
just fnc are better
loud 2023 might have just been their kryptonite

WITHOUT PISTOL

bu bu but he baits?

prolly eg fracture
they were the best team at snowballing valorant
played almost perfect on fracture with how they used ult orbs

loud ascent
prx pearl

maybe he is playing from a remote setup
think he might have covid he talked abotu being sick on fnc winning video
edit : nvm he here now

def not with mini playing

loud went 2-3 to qualify to playoffs
drx got 1st seed and lost 2 matches in playoffs

whereas

NAVI got 4-1 in regular stage , got outseeded by a 3-3 team who they beat in a cross group format xDDD
all omega teams that qualified to playoffs beat the alpha playoffs teams btw
and got single elim gamed twice

safe to say navi has been fucked over waaaaay more than drx and loud
