Oh don’t get me wrong — I want G2 to run double duelist and I haven’t been following them in the off-season after I found out that they’ve stuck to their solo Yoru approach even after dropping JonahP.
I just want more comp diversity since double initiator and double sentinel is out of the meta rn. It’d be great to bring back Kayo/Gekko and even some Breach/Tejo to compete with the current mosquito comp.
Honestly yeah.
I think they need to rework both him and Skye into a third drone initiator archetype by changing their signatures to Trailblazer and Stealth Drone. It gives them back a rechargable that isn’t as oppressive as missiles or info flashes, making them more viable in drawn out rounds and competitive with the recon archetype.
I tired of seeing a Sova/Fade + Yoru on every map and the only way to bring back more comp diversity is to buff the other initiators — especially Breach since he’s so weak in pro play after the nerfs he received alongside Tejo’s rework.
They’re all bad smh. Only good part was JonahP
I don’t think that’s true. Leo is the best holistic Initiator player but I’d argue other players have shown higher individual peaks on every agent. None of them were as consistent as Leo in a single season though but you could defend that both Trent and Riens are close.
Sova: Brawk/Trent
Fade: Riens/Shao
Skye/Kayo/Breach: Ethan
Gekko: Riens
Tejo: Trent (not relevant but I must glaze).
Honestly I think Ethan should be rated over Leo at this point but flash initiaters have fallen out of the meta so he gets overlooked.
Leo had a monumental year on the most stacked roster at the time and that context is lost on a lot of people; 2023 FNC was a successful SUPERTEAM. It’s much easier to perform when you have insanely consistent teammates to rely on with the most refined system in the world. As an individual talent, I’d honestly rate him next to Riens — slightly weaker mechanically yet smarter.
Still humble after winning Champs? Y’know RBHG was a Michael Mouse Tournament right?
I know it’s not gonna happen but it’d be cool to see chloric in T1
The record is literally 4:4 and we’ve won the last 3 matches. Your wins are from a bygone era.
The first point is true. You guys prefer to be mediocre for a whole season before making changes. Demon1 undoubtably still has his mechanics — hes just lacking a strong ecosystem to slot into.
He's just gonna wait for a team to flop after Kickoff no? Unless Envy wanna trial him for smokes I don’t see anyone else picking him up before then.
Honestly, I’d love to see them flop kickoff and then drop Asuna and Bang for JonahP and Demon1.
Put Cryo on 1/5 agents: Yoru, Iso, Chamber, Veto, or Sage.
Demon1 would only ever play Clove.
JonahP flexes everything else they need.
I just don’t think Asuna and Bang are hungry enough anymore.
If you’re talking only Americas, then you have to admit G2 is 1st. Also, you’re underrating NV, FUR, and 100T.
Tejo is taking the slot of a secondary duelist and exchanges the ability to contest space with your body with greater map presence through disruption utility and information gathering. It just fits G2’s approach to Macro better given they don’t really struggle with breaking sites open and benefit from having more midround/postplant utility.
Same with internationals. We always just beat ourselves ;-;
Because without it, 100T’s last bit of relevancy was during First Strike
Ay let’s not pretend like we’re as delusional as TH fans
We’re not making a single international next year.
G2-13SEN
Bring back the Professor
He’s got class so he won’t. Looks the the problem was always JoshRT though between the garbage map vetos and poor meta read.
Dropping JonahP and not picking up Invy/Seven for a direct slot in or a star fragging sentinel in Demon1/Yay is the dumbest shit I’ve seen.
Might as well have pulled a C9 and picked neT back up and properly admit that management is a clown show.
Brother you need to bulk if you’re trying to get stronger. Less reps, heavier weight, and more protein. But be patient and prioritize form.
Muscle definition has nothing to do with strength but rather low body fat. You’re simply not pushing your muscles hard enough (heavy to failure) and feeding them (protein and good sleep for recovery) for your strength to build.
You almost had it except that this is going to be MIBR 2026
No need to rework. Just nerf all of the other agents until he becomes viable lmao
Just gonna see 3 duelists, clove, and chamber/Veto in ranked now.
I don’t see why they wouldn’t renew Cortezia to fill the smokes role?
I mean if you’re talking a consistently high baseline for every duelist, Jawgemo is probably better than Mada.
Roster changes can be the final puzzle piece that either makes or breaks your team. EDG experienced both outcomes but if NRG sticks together, they’ll probably okay.
That wasn’t Champs but Tokyo qualification. Either way, they proved their mettle by making GF in both tournaments and winning one.
They need to figure out what’s causing them to falter at internationals. I think they should do a global tour to bootcamp and learn new playstyles.
It’s a shame that Aspas hasn't learned Yoru. It suits his playstyle as a more calculated (secondary) entry than any of the other duelist and allows him to bail in disadvantageous spots while also oping on defense.
I know he’s frying on Waylay but it’s not meta on every map while yoru is. The Aspas/Zekken duo is a tantalizing idea but I genuinely think that they’ll struggle if Zekken has to take first contact on Kayo/Yoru instead of a proper dive agent.
NRG rookies grinded that shit out so, well deserved. Brawk will single-handedly get the Odin nerfed while Skuba1 starts maps on an heater and Mada closes them out — just a treat to watch fr.
Respect to FNC for that Abyss comeback and near reverse sweep though. Honestly never really liked them because they’re always favored but I kept looking forward to Boaster’s emotes.
Rooting for y’all next year!
You’re the biggest EMEA bandwagon after Sentinelmain337 lmao
Do we cop the classic though?
DRX just plays more exciting Valorant. Nothing more a snoozefest than FNC
They got second at 2/3 regionals last year and won all three regionals this year and made an international GF. If the trend continues, they’ll be alright for 2026.
Today will be cinema! I know many doubt NRG but I’m confident they’ll make map 3 at least hah!
Bootcamp in other regions and try to adopt more aggressive, proactive comps.
I think trash talking is even worse if you only do it after you win though. Just makes you a douchebag
Boot camp in Pacific and double duelist some maps
