Honestly Mitch and Tom are my least fav. Goat casters in valorant rn are:

Bren
Sideshow
Pansy
Achilios
UberShouts
And somehow babybay

This navi would NOT have beat Sen or GenG when they were on their hot streaks

I need vitality to lose so Fnatic, a better team, can make playoffs

Nah I’m watching sliggy. But it’s like, anyone with eyes can see: these guys are NOT playing like lockin/Tokyo last year

Guys let’s be fr, these guys are slumping hard rn. They might not even make champions at this rate. Really depressing stuff tbh.

Nvm I just watched PRX and they’re looking back. Hopefully heretics with WoOT are just as good

U said demon1 twice, maybe change the second one to zekken

Tuyz or Mako
Kcorp or KRU
Bind or Split
F0rsaken or Chronicle
Haven or Fracture
Fnsor Saadhak
Alecks or Chet
Lev or Fut
DFM or Mibr
Russia or Brazil
MxS or M80
Something or MiniBoo

I do NOT have confidence in Americas teams after these past few weeks. Only Lev has looked scary tbh. It would be insane if Sen don't make playoffs, but unless NRG, Sen, and Loud step the fuck up, Americas is not gonna be strong on the international stage. Tbf, EMEA hasn't looked super cohesive earlier, and I'm not educated on Pacific and China recently, so I can't comment on those teams.

Overall, the level of play does not feel that great right now.

Tbf Kru is facing Loud, 100T, and Lev. They've only played the 0 win teams so far.

I used to be a huge c0m hater tbh, but I've come around on him. He was kept on EG throughout all the bad times for a reason right? The dude has impeccable util, great midround comms, and acts as a glue/vibe guy. Tex, on the other hand, could definitely be upgraded. I saw some guy saying less, and if so, that's a ridiculous team right there.

No for sure, honestly I was just happy this year they got rid of crow who frankly wasn’t cutting it for years. Hopefully their roster moves this year indicate they’ll be willing to do more in the future!

to match Laz, Dep, and SugarZero? Yuran is alright, but Hiroronn is obviously not good enough right now. He's underperformed every game.

THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING. Just hope it's doug and babybay for the next game, and not vansili and riv tbh

Honestly that wasn’t even M80s bad. Ttr played masters worthy valorant. They’re the goats

The biggest diff between tier 1 and 2 is teamplay, macro, and individual decision making. I’d say most t2 players are nearly as good as t1 players mechanically.

PRX vs GenG recently was great. That texture ace on lotus…..

Nah trust me, as a senti main, that shit is EASY

Not awful, but let's be so fr Champs 2021 was NOT competitive by 2023-2024 standards. APAC wasn't at a high level yet, Brazil was still figuring things out, and NA was still clinging onto a Sentinels roster that didn't believe in bootcamping. 2022 marked an drastic increase in APAC and Brazil performances with Loud, PRX, DRX all becoming genuine competitors.

He's just suffering from insanely low self confidence right now. The guy's on the biggest losing streak of his career (not even Andbox was this bad), and ending up here after being on top of the world must be a huge shock. I mean it's a shock for the viewers (that's why the yay hate is so strong in the first place), so imagine being the dude himself. Team system (or lack thereof) also makes a difference too ofc, but it's not everything. Let's be honest, the mechanics he's been showing recently have been dreadful; way worse than anything he displayed on andbox and optic even on his worst days.

Why wouldn't he? He's extremely flexible to just about every role.

Don't forget:
Ethan now IGLing on new roles while dropping respectable numbers: winning

He shut down zekken 11-1 in the head to head. Lev would not have won that map otherwise.

Ya but you can’t compare teams based on how hard they beat their opponents. So much depends on individual form, and the individual form of their opponents at the time.

They haven’t played oxygen or mxs, who are their only real competitors for ascension in Americas. At least in NA, I’m unfamiliar with most of brazil and latam this year.

They’re playing Winthrop university bro 💀

You’re so 2022 pilled; meteor is the 3rd best player on his team rn 😭

Bro's copying my post from 2 hrs ago I can't believe it

nah karon's da goat

Put him on Lev! And get Pancada too. Aspas, kingg, pancada, c0m, nats. And get em a good coach while we're at it. That'd surely be better.

Fuck ur right, he’s literally Phoenix stardom irl

natank over f0rsaken, d4v41, demon1, ethan, marved, leo, keznit, johnqt, cauanzin, crashies, mako, karon, something, etc
is INSANE

Lemonade Stand on top!!

IT'S SOOOOOOOO JOVER

Same I was terrified they’d throw it

I had such high hopes for vitality as well tbhhhh

+Aspas would be INSANE

YOOOO SUSHI WELCOME BACK BRO

Also yeah but fnatic look rough rn, hope they clean it up later

Yeahhhhhhhhh so many 1v1s

I'm hoping they turn it around during the next rounds and maps, but they already look a little off. Nothing like how they looked at tokyo or the EMEA season last year

I was looking for champs, it’s soooo good

ur the goat

Nah it's not soccer, it's American football. Only popular in one region, that's it. Soccer is more popular worldwide than CS lmfaooo

^^^^^^^ EDG (as used in your example) were playing as many off season tournaments as possible PLUS practicing like 10 hours a day the whole week. That's gonna cause burnout on anyone. If they were playing more games and practicing less, they would probably be spending less time in the server tbh.

I think it has to be BG3, I've never played anything like it. The writing is just so fucking good.

Im sry bro you gotta take Tenz out and give it to f0rsaken or texture. TenZ played top 10 worthy, but not better than either of those players.

o7 you were genuinely great last tourney, dont believe the haters

I would honestly agree. Mindfreak has consistency problems that monyet hasn’t displayed on smokes

Me!! He will be the goat when he plays again

No way you guys are this bored lmaooo. Go rewatch Madrid or something!
