Delight is playing incredible high lvl Valorant.

I am kinda disappointed by the coaching staff of Crest again, how do you allow delight to ban both maps you won against them yesterday??? Like genuinely they had no chance after the veto, Delight has such better teamplay, great util, good comms and incredible macro for a tier2 team.

their teams weren't that well balanced they had some really bad players in previous iterations. Anyways their coaching is still the biggest issue and calling, they are so slow and don't have the best map understanding. So far they beat most teams because of sheer individual firepower.

He was even their most consistent player when the team fell apart, really sad for him. He deserves a way better team, that uses him correctly.

Now this is real drama with concrete evidence, we are so fucking back.
Tournament organizers breaking competitive integrity is back on the menu boys.

So what do we think about his point of view of the video?

Riot and Jake Sins killed Pacific tier2

How long will be the video from Sgares if he takes so long to edit it? Dude might actually burn tier2 NA down with this.

what is this stupid argument. You are making comparisons towards an ongoing case where authorities literally are investigating and found actual proof towards diddy being an actual leader of a sex trafficking ring
and literally Flor, where mentally unstable children are writing things up on Twitter without handling it with proper authorities.

WTF ARE YOU EVEN ON ABOUT.

I am not trusting anyone, but this person knew who brick was before it was revealed by the third party Olivia. sombrosol is Brick, WHICH WASN'T REVEALED BEFOREHAND.
Everyone cannot trust random discord messages, but in this whole mess there just not a lot of evidence provided by either party and just back and forths between chat messages.

it is about the swatting stuff itself, which was revealed afterwards. I didn't mean the initial accusations, those are different things. I am probably reading too much into this tho.

time to learn Chinese buddy.

anyone can create it but the problem is that they knew whole situation before everything was revealed?

We never knew about Flor getting doxxed before we heard more of the side of Flor, the tweet was made a week ago.
I at least wouldn't be biased about anyone rn, this whole situation reeks a lot. Also you imply that things leaked by Brick and Ka_rie can also be something that anyone can create since they are discord messages themselves.

I have found something else.
https://x.com/user1141594/status/1923751480281936382 There is also this person who knew something beforehand about ka_rie and Brick "sombresol" and that they were planning this for a while ago. It implies that ka_rie and brick leaked the real phone number of Flor once before which lead to doxxing and swatting of Flor before the accusations were made.

Discord screenshots don't mean much but if both accuser and victim run away immediately after getting exposed by another completely different third party, you will lose credibility no matter what.

I am definitely even more confused about the situation now.

Ka_rie deativated her account after another third party came out named Olivia and exposed her and Brick's credibility with a few tweets and chat messages. https://x.com/XX12A6/status/1926095122590056455?t=WOGmes3-GyH4YU8E9hAG9g&s=19 https://x.com/XX12A6/status/1926138993202143254?t=hvE53PjzHke7VIyYlYOaOA&s=19
Take it how you will but it definitely diminishes a bit of the credibility of Ka_rie and Brick at least.

is Shin really better than Proxh though?

ka_rie literally paints herself in a worse picture with those messages and this statement, it is clear those kids are literally not letting anyone proof-read their shit. I ain't trusting anyone in this highschool-fiasco, go to court this shit should have never been public discourse anymore.

I think having a good big crowd, that is invested into the scene is important for the matches to feel important. Playing for money is neat but glory and passion is also a big difference maker.

Let him have some time to cook and finish his masterpiece, this whole thing might burn down the entire tier2 scene, when he drops that bomb.

It does seem very obvious in hindsight, that Karie person tried controlling the narrative so far. They do seem like one of the main influences to this relationship that led to horrible abuse and constant emotional manipulation to both minors at the same time, especially when they actively encouraged self harm. It even confuses me more that brick and karie still have contact with each other when from a pure outsider perspective, as they had clearly abused, harassed brick also.

My take away is that everyone directly involved has some serious mental issues, that are absolutely insane to have at that age.

what the fuck are those roles from T1???
METEOR ON JETT IN FUCKING 2025???????????????

This usually is being done by teams, it's somewhat hard for Riot to enforce, but yeah a minimum check should be required. It's really insane to me that some people in the scene seemingly knew that something wasn't right with Flor and that it didn't come out sooner.

Especially when people become the face of a scene they should have been checked upon sooner.

one of the best pure aimers in VCT

that was already known and they got punished by Riot already, the bigger issue were the comments about the Chinese people he made on Steam years ago. XLG and other teams signed Heybay and YOU while knowing that they matchfixed in the past.

Did Bob do anything or why are they being put up on the same spot?

S1mon is up for grabs smh. Also any serious tier2 player should pick take their offer, in Tier2 you won't get anywhere if you don't win Ascension.

you didn't even put effort in the rage bait, when they are literally the team in pacific with the MOST CIRCUIT POINTS lmao

PCIFIC could have tried paying their players more lol

who is cyro?
Also ngl Pacific is so stacked it would be a genuine awful scouting if they get an import.

this situtation doesn't reflect well into anyone. Huge overreaction that will cause insane drama now, not worth the trouble. You can be emotional but this is just not professional.

Nephh never played with Yay he probably doesn't know him in person, don't overthink.

gg
not sure what happens with Murash now, but they probably need to make changes to this roster, their igling isn't even bad they just don't have any real firepower when Absol is not hitting shots.

Fennel looks okay-ish, Gon genuinely needs to stop overthinking so much, Fennel plays too slow and are easy to read, Murash had stacked sites half of the time on defense because of that pace. They need more setplays and watch other teams like G2 how to play certain maps, Icebox is like the easiest map ever to call on and they made it look hard because they were just sitting on attack for the first 40s. I am not convinced by them that they can win Ascension but they have the potential to reach it if they work on their midrounding and macro in general.

This was probably the worst attack side Icebox I have seen in years. Legit zero map and macro understanding. Fennel doesn't realize that people can stack sites and gain info if you don't move for 50 seconds every round every time you hit a site.

I still don't see the point of having an academy team that isn't full of ranked demons. Not sure where DFM really wants to go with this team but those players are nowhere near good enough to get promoted to their main roster or that great that they will get signed by a decent tier2 team later on. There is lots of young fa players to sign in the ranked leaderboards.

I doubt he will flex. Very realistic that Kush and him trade roles since Kush is a very good flex anyways.

Estrella lowkey got screwed by GenG that they didn't sign him otherwise this probably wouldn't have happened

Tomix is kinda insane, people should have eyes on him. I think he is better than PatrickWho ngl, has tons of potential, always goes insane every match.

Honestly this is the 2nd time that Sakurai lost them a qualifier, he should be on the cutting block just off that alone. He underperformed super hard even when he had Hyunmin and DH dropping 30s in that qualifier last year, reminds me a lot of that.

But yeah the team didn't have enough time, too many silly mistakes, they do have a lot of potential tho

gg, that Lotus will haunt Crest. They definitely have potential wonder if they do changes again.

he will just replace Hate, he will probably stick to Sentinel. Hate got kicked last week, which tbh is understandable if they had comms issues and he wasn't really playing well either.

Crest needs to understand that comps like these with almost zero info and no supportive util don't work in 2025 anymore. You cannot win just of firepower if you don't setup any of ur own players, they lost from the moment that maps were chosen. Murash played very well, clearly looked through vods, came prepared and absolutely crushed Crest today. Murash deservedly qualified to Challengers, they always come prepared try out new comps and play to their strengths.

The Gekko doesn't make sense with a double duelist comp, you need two initiators to get consistent value on it. It cannot setup a duelist on its own and definitely not two, it also doesn't pair well with any of their util. This genuinely might have been the worst Bind I have seen all year, zero gameplan, no midrounding, attack gameplan countered by an outlaw and awp because it's impossible to push them out with your non-existent util. The Clove is an objectively bad agent on this map, you don't get any value on the postplant, the smokes don't last long enough, it's basically worthless if you don't get kills.

Crest losing the first map in the agent selection. What is this comp, it doesn't have any synergy. Like your Gekko cannot setup any of your duelist, your smoker is too limited on the afterplant. Super terrible comp, cannot win against any team that prevents you from going to site.

Crest has been doing some really good work this year. Really great scouting and roster building where you can see their vision for the team. They take risks on lesser known ranked players but it pays off for them, Ken has been developing so well as a player, Sakurai is finally finding roles that helps the team, Bazz is getting good at igling while still fragging out. Jan and Yutaro have been really interesting signing with tons of potential for the future.
Really impressed by their work they have done to adjust for their failure in split1.
Even their Academy roster looks incredible with tons of talented young players that will help out the scene in the long-term. I hope they can keep up the work for the future.

Scarz just has the better team with better players. I am not convinced by the igling of Medusa but unless Zepher underperforms heavily again they shouldn't lose against BCS.

Scarz just don't know what they are doing, they will be forced to makes moves for next split if they don't qualify to Challengers. At that point they should look for a better duelist player, they struggle a lot with their entrying and Anthem seems kinda useless on the team when he isn't igling, they should maybe consider going for a full firepower roster.

I blame Xan

Imo this says a lot more about the mindset of Japanese orgs than everything else.
It's like not signing S1mple because he was absolutely toxic and racists when he was the same age as Okinawa.
There are ways to fix him, also he was a streamer at the time, which is a gigantic distinction, give him some PR training, show him the error of his ways and get him a good coach and igl and start winning.
Art also got kicked from orgs for being toxic and he is pretty much the only thing keeping dfm together because the coaches have absolutely no idea what they are doing. You can either take risks on players or stay losing forever.
Tonbo literally has accusations of harrasing a minor in real life and is still on the org, you can't make those comparisons, when Murash has a super toxic owner who doesn't give a fuck about PR.

he definitely has behaviour issues, but like that dude destroys Primmie in ranked, on a pure talent lvl you can't get anyone better than him in JP. If he ever stops being a toxic idiot it would be 100% worth to take the risk.

he is in all likelihood not cheating in Valorant. Especially since so many pros like him and a lot of coaches have their eyes on him, if a JP org isn't signing then eventually an org like PRX could take the risk on him.

because they are forced to speak several languages, so they can learn more at least that's my theory and he probably started playing fps games sooner than most Japanese people. He speaks Englsh, Russian, Ukrainian and Japanese.

If any Japanese orgs have the balls to sign Okinawa, he could probably save the Japanese scene. PRX already have their eyes on him, Alecks speaks about him greatly and he queued with Something today.
