if deadlock is so good then lets have a quick rundown of their abilities.

Gravnet:
Looks like the worst thing ever. It is so situational and you can just hold down for 0.5 seconds to get rid of the crouching. Enemies only know if your in the net when you get rid of the net by holding down. Useless. The only time it can be good is if ur using it with a molly as a combo.

SonicSenser:
It's best ability which is actually good and can work well in combinations with trap plays but thats about it.

BarrierMesh:
Kinda bad as if you stop a heavy push they can just break the centre and done but it would be used to hold off spots which won't be contested often but even then its just a worst sage wall.

Ultiamte:
Easy to dodge but it is decent in 1v1's and 2v1's and 2v2's

Overall a C tier agent

lots of oce players have left for china bruh

yep we aren't versing a team which majority of it's players are imports. We will just need a decently big upset against another team to come 3rd if we are being realistic

im sorry this agent only works in high level lobbies which not many people are in. I didnt say I couldn't use the agent but the agent is terrible for more than 90% of people

because competitive valorant in australia isn't as big as the aussie csgo scene. Also aussies haven't had proper chances in valorant so far. Valorant in asia is big and in csgo it isnt so there is naturally more and chances

they also get opportunities like chances to compete in lock//in and other lan events while oce only gets ascension which is once a year

"we" oops

"we"

nice copium bud, she looks so bad

sheriff = 1.2x more kills per game

not even true, what? in games competitive esports oce is decent but the issue with being in OCE is that you can't scrim against good teams bc of ping differences and the fact no other apac team wants to.

smartest NA person

benkai isn't even on the main roster so he won't change anything if he leaves. Jinggg is very good and with a sub they made top 3 and so imagine if u replaced jingg with something and still have cgrs as the sub then they probably would have beat EG. In my opinion a top 5 team is not considered horrible

feels like the penta tournament in india

bruh

skill issue

...

sadge

lol I just wanted to watch bonkers. the bonkers game will now start at like midnight or later now

Bonkers 2-0

you can't really objectively ask this but loud would win if they don't get much time to prepare and scrim

8/8

most sane vrl czech user

nice cope

there are 4 in T1 bud who are good. I just don' think you watch any valorant esports if you can only name 1.

that wasn't the reason. Optic were close since they are a well established franchise but they have had many financial difficulties when riot was making the decision which was the main reason they didnt get chosen

kc and koi win ez

Bonkers clears OG

Bonkers 2-0

the persons ego

kingg is cracked my guy

it's your cousin

I'm just saying you can't pull random info from your ass and when someone asks where you found this information you just say go find it yourself even though you yourself can't prove they said this.

so let's just theoretically say the next world cup will have 1 more random team from oceania for example. Does the winner of that world cup stay world champions until there is another world cup also with 1 extra random team as the normal world cup would be harder to win and less prize pool to the winner compared to this new world cup with 1 extra team. This is according to your logic.

so you don't actually know where exactly they said this. So your just going "off memory". If it's so easy to find you would just link in where they said it instead of spending a minute replying and typing messages to respond to where this "video" is.

I asked a question. Can you please tell me where they said this?

average NA user

where did they say it was a showmatch? I still can't find any link or any video of riot saying that lock//in is a showmatch when I ask people

Riot said what and can you link me what they said and where they said it?

so true tho

did u even read what I said?

Lev might. They have a much better track record than C9 currently and they were considered top 4 in americas since 2021 all the way up until the regular season in americas. The reason they under performed is because their mental was terrible but after this break their mental should be fixed and they will perform to the standards we are used to hopefully. Kru I think is under rated and I think they will beat mibr and furia but I doubt they will make it top 3 in lcq

the word Major I would assume originated from golf as golf has masters which count as a major and the highest level of golf has 4 majors each year. To decide if a tournament is considered a major as the word is subjective almost everyone in golf determines if people internationally from many different regions and countries come together and compete with a decently large prize pool. In those terms Lock//In would count as a major.

I see ur argument also states that it was considered a showmatch tournament but would a showmatch still dictate things like region slots in future majors? The two majors/masters each year as riot said the winning region will receive an extra slot and because this year we only had 1 why did lock//in dictate the extra slot if it wasn't a major?

Lock//In was only 100k short of masters in 2021 which is considered a major so does a 20% decrease in prize pool make a tournament no longer a major?

Last point which is important is that Majors are S+ or S tier events right? Lock//In was considered an S tier event on liquipedia and by tournament standards.

something was the most prx had to an igl and they played in a more control way and not just pure chaos. something would mainly stop forsaken from over aggressing and other people. Prx doesn't have a set igl although something would make decide what sites to execute and stuff if you listen to their comms

ye but fnc will become easier to defeat overtime as the meta might shift before champs and prx came 3rd with A SUB and almost 2nd. Imagine if alfear or leo got replaced with kamyk who has no international experience and has only played twice in Tier 1 (who only gets 10 days off practice). Imagine if that happened in champs with only 10 days off practice with kamyk, do you think fnatic would still come first?

Jing is most likely going into compulsary military service next year so this champs will be his last chance to win

prx with something = easy champs win

bro thinks he's chat gpt
