looking at all the regions, the only two teams that look genuinely really good are kru and drx. not because of their records, but more so because the execution of their ideas is noticeably better than every other team currently

actual w take from you, respect

so koi just randomly became the goats? why are they suddenly playing at such a good level

nrg could beat kru? i would think the igl diff is massive, plus LEV match they got guy diffed which should never happen

i thought the neon was the problem in the comp tbh, they don't set zyppan up like TH set up miniboo

kru should be no1 both, nrg needs to be way down because they only beat brazil

lose. if we're talking like the worst chinese team then they maybe get a map

y1y*

dumb argument, they are both equal and have looked like the best at different points in their careers

they are recycling ideas from earlier in the year. during kickoff their comps (and strats) had surprise value but with so much tape of them its quite easy to antistrat. its the stubbornness to not change anything that is hurting LOUD rn

he is currently injured afaik, so i think he's kinda forced to be a sub for now

the one round where he didn't realize they had given up full heaven control and was just walking out mid with an op made me laugh ngl

this would be a latam superteam on paper. i think its just synergy issues are an issue going off of past results, since keznit on LEV didn't work out and KiNgg solo igl looked shaky at times even with nzr

i remember hearing somewhere early in the offseason that LOUD wanted havoc, but he went to Furia so they picked up the second best option from trials. its obv not a random pick up because he wasn't even playing duelist last year

no jinx here, im very happy to see kru back at their lcq level

im gonna be the one to say it...

KRU might be the best team in Americas.

brother 💀

aint no way cypher caused a map pool change

CONTEXT: cypher bug on split was the reason for split to be removed until 8.08

its possible, but unlikely. they have 2 wins tho, so they are locked for champs (idk why riot hasn't confirmed this yet) and i think they can afford to miss a masters in order to get their shit together. them and LOUD are in the same boat i'd argue

better than ender/mimi imo, but bren sideshow are better ( i havent watched a doug/babybay game yet)

the prep is there - i would be lying if i said they don't look more prepped for sen than kru. but its not petty because its a turn-around in the level of play

uh oh

shanks will forever be the goat for being the reason the art of shanks video exists. that shit is too funny

i mean people are giving her respect for winning champs after everyone was flaming the shit out of EG last year. its not misplaced, but i do think having a better roster helped

artzin has the greatest two maps of his career, mibr goes up on map 3 before somehow choking the entire lead

i just remembered what happened last year. different rosters but it would be funny if its the same result

apoth is good, i just think he sometimes overcooks with his lurks. never thought id say this about potter but i feel like she doesn't understand him as a player, he's always sent to lurk even though he's shown he is more valuable when playing with the team

i mean, her players not hitting shots completely screws up any strat she helped them to prep. potter's coaching will look bad regardless if they are playing like this. and regarding demon1, i think potter was the right coach for that eg roster to win (although i still believe ethan was the most important piece for eg)

nah. i thought he got perma banned?

net probably unofficially retired and tacolilla is not good enough for t1 anymore. this team just needs to completely rebuild tbh

honestly i would put drx above gen g currently, i dont think they are playing smart valorant rn. for some reason gen g keeps picking lotus every series, idk if its strat save or just they don't wanna work on other maps

aspas. demon1 gotta get another podium finish at the very least this year before he's better, and that's if aspas has a shit year (doubt it)

worse than 100t games

m80 tbh

ur more self aware than the majority of people on this site

for what its worth they are playing with little to no practice because of ddos attacks on their facility in gangnam. if they shit the bed vs drx (or rrq) then roster probably needs changes

wait if mibr win this sen are in playoffs?

it should be? at least i thought so

pacific was random draw. sen could be playing any of eg, loud, or nrg (they want eg ngl)

i dont mind nzr or c0m. the glaring issue isn't language barrier, its obv player performance. i would give tex the regular season before making a decision, but i could see a world in which lev just immediately go to nuking the roster

how is this c0m fault when tex was playing like that

they don't need any roster changes. they just need to figure out their map pool (for fucks sake, ban split old lev was shit at it too). if they are awful on breeze too, you can come back to this and clown me. but until that happens, its simply a map pool diff

mb potter fan

bump because this shit will happen again no doubt

im sorry again potter. eg isn't cooked, they make madrid. potter best coach. jawgemo is still the best raze and top 10 players itw.

this is prob way too early but i dont think potter cooked with this roster

they dropped rb and zest because they wanted to change something and foster young talent. k1ng would be the opposite of that - a player whose tenure in the scene has been long, albeit not always successful. my guess is that the underlying reason for them promoting flashback instead of picking him up was because t1 and gen g both moved on from him

(to get into rumors, yes, he was said to not be a great for team morale. do with that what you will)

FUT arent a bad team? they just did an ange1 cosplay for groups

boaster's calling that map was not impressive, i wouldn't just use ''munchkin bad igl'' as a reason why they couldn't win. vit have cender igling, who is doing it for the first time this season

in all seriousness if derke plays like he just did fnc will get shit on by s3xture. they can't be having him drop those numbers

aren't u british + fnc flair? fuck are you doing with that combo
