bad news

ik we're all glazing sayf but hes lowkey trolling this comeback

then yea hes def up there

vitality should not take kicks out of that roster under any circumstances

he technically has an event win right? emea league last year with liquid?

jawgemo, the second best raze in the world at the time, wasn't anything without potter?

ultra rare elite disasterclass

boaster's calling has been very dry this year and i think he's very seriously struggled to adapt to the changes in meta from last year - the way he talks about the game is also quite outdated, the way he views ult usage is just purely wrong for instance
chronicle is for me the biggest issue when it comes to discipline and teamplay, i see significantly more overheat or solo plays from him compared to anyone else on the team
derke has dropped off somewhat in terms of form and has struggled with issues similar to chronicle, quite a lot of overheating in bad moments
you replace any of these three and the team could get better(i'd opt for boaster, his drop-off has been the sharpest from last year for me), alfa and leo are the only ones off the table

i personally think she could make it in T2/T1, but to say that she is outright is weed smoker until she actually plays for one of those teams and proves it
to say that she could or couldnt as an absolute is dumb as bricks when there's zero basis for it anywhere

i lowkey believe in them for this split
at least 40/60 odds against loud, furia and mibr will be easy wins, and lev are lowkey dogshit and very easy for a coach like potter to expose 16 ways from Sunday
100t they have no chance of beating but i like their odds against at least 3 out of the other 4

i watch s0m so that's why i think he's a cutie patootie and i'm extremely jealous of katiewon for unrelated reasons
anyway viper is still goated for offense info denial on A and the actual adjustment teams need to start making is throwing the B-C wall on defense instead of the B-A wall, which is just Not Very Good anymore

the real issue with viper is on haven, where she can't stall out on C effectively anymore unless cypher loans her a cage or trip on site, and 30% of her attack wall's purpose, which is to act as a smoke for the B hit, is severely weakened

your haven comp is ancient and not in line with duelist meta or haven meta lol there is no reason to play any agent on haven whose name does not start with j and end with ett
awping is simply too strong on haven and the jett entries on that map are much better than raze's on literally 3 out of 3 bomb sites
neon is only in the conversation because of the buffs which are honestly just overrated, every one of those buffs was desperately needed to allow neon to do anything more than tread water, meta-wise, outside of the full accuracy slide, which is just silly and not that strong since you have to stop shooting once you enter the post-slide strafe otherwise you're inaccurate again
jett is still without a doubt the way to go on haven regardless

0/8

okay, but they beat at the time the two worst teams in the league, and liquid played pretty remarkably bad imo

the only map affected is haven lets be serious

that haven comp is fuckin ancient
also no viper on lotus what are we saying here

theyve honestly improved pretty well since kickoff/start of stage 1, still not going to make a splash but they looked abysmal at the start of the year

meiy too good to be on a team like this

dfm clear out players with utility challenge

still undecided on whether this was something they planned from the beginning when they cut rb and zest or if they happened into the roles and everything working out as well as it did
either way this is probably the best drx will have ever looked

yeah riot are super responsive to tickets relative to their ingame system which is pretty dogshit
odds are they won't inform you of the outcome but this seems cut and dry

did you submit a riot ticket or just report in game

yeah hes adjusted really poorly

nah man u gotta let him learn by goin through it the way everyone else did

did you drop out in the 7th grade or what

lmk when you take a university level biology class

transphobia going on in this thread is rough family consider adopting empathy in your everyday lives

because people like you invalidate their identity and contribute to their lack of safety living their everyday lives, want a cookie?

trashies is on the team

it definitely can be, but riot needs to put more work in to improve viewership

coughing scrawny teenager vs coughing scrawny teenager

so we all saw that elizabeth marcini tweet huh
good post, c0m top 1 guys to leave your drink with imo, he'd be slightly skeptical of something happening to it but when it does ik the whole bar will know in 0.5 seconds flat

hop off goat

its a tactical shooter

tbh its more of a gimmick that people are just adjusting to, iso's "broken" status has an expiry date that will come well before any nerf might

someone tell this guy about reyna

im trashies' biggest hater in the world and even i would not say something this delusional bro
you sinatraa fans glaze him a truly insane amount

we're really saying a team with redgar on it would beat team canada... fuck me man you people have LOST it

so thankful i'm not american personally

bro said raze

G2 last year were also horrendous though

she was definitely optimal before haven exited but she also plays C anchor which is very difficult now given she has 1 molly and less fuel
i expect some teams will run her but i doubt it will be like it was

viper's anchor strength is much weaker on C so not sure there'll be much of her on haven

i think the only likely shift in haven meta we'll see is less of the omen/viper comp that was so strong near end of 2023
cypher over killjoy most likely
other than that, most teams will probably go back to the old breach sova comps which are still good - neon is overrated and jett is still too strong on haven as is oping

nah valyns still shit
also did you bookmark this thread or something this is insane loser behaviour to come back to it after masters only to go 'haha gotcha' to everyone hating on him here

only heretics have a chance to win?
you know navi is in the region right?

its like you're not even reading the words on your screen

oh ya forgot to mention that the team also has precisely ZERO chemistry lmao never seen a team play as a team less than this one
again thats a team structure thing which owes to kingg and goked

this is the take i would have if i only looked at the scoreboard and let that decide my opinions. kingg is clearly the issue and if you actually watch its screaming at you

now that shanghai is over can we all agree that this team is not very good?
-kingg is not a very good caller, his lotus attack is just them pressing the door button a bunch of times hoping it will pull a rotate from B to C or vice-versa instead of retaking A rubble literally ever
-kingg's lurks are getting very little value, often just leaving his team to die
-the structure of the team is leaving c0m in an off-role that he is clearly struggling hard to adjust to, he's in far fewer clutch positions and not able to find the lurk timings that won him a championship
-the structure of the team is hyperfocused around aspas getting multikills, which is both highly ineffective in terms of having a team consistently win against top teams and leaves aspas constantly in a position where he has to 'do it all himself', causing him to bait more than he should be(he's playing for stats a lot of the time and it shows)
this is not the makings of a good team, full stop - they got exposed HARD both at shanghai and in stage 1 playoffs, and kingg is every reason why
kingg pushed out nzr, can't call, pushed a world champion into an off-role so he could fail at the role said world champion dominated on instead, and has left the best player in valorant history hanging out to dry
