leo sayf trexx, best core itw? 3 fucking animals who dont need duelist to drop 30
idk about that, kolda and russ look barely t1 in terms of firepower, kolda is very valuable since he is a top igl but I feel like russ will eventually get replaced by a duelist main so sayf/trexx dont need to play duelist depending on the map and play their main roles, possibly fitinho since he is friends with kolda? that would be an insane roster
brother this is a teamplay, u can take 5 guys with god firepower but this will not ensure you win. Actually guild is very well balanced, u have god leo best eu player, u have sayf n trexx 2 insane firepower they can play multiple roles too good, then u have god igl probably the best or 2nd best emea igl (boaster n him) and russ is a normal firepower guy but he plays skye very well, plus he can flex and probably transmits the calmness the team needs when you have crazy beasts like sayf trex and leo.
I dont think kolda is better igl than ange1 or redgar but surely one of the best itw in that I agree but my point is that what russ brings to the team is not that special imo, eventually he will be replaced, there are better than can do/bring the same as him and have way better firepower
clear example of this: you could make trexx or sayf play his roles since both are one of the best in the roles russ currently plays and then bring fitinho for a real duelist main, that would be a clear upgrade imo, no matter what russ brings to the table, as of today in valorant firepower in t1 is dogshit and chemistry doesnt matter as much atm, if you have superior firepower chances are you will destroy even if you arent that good as a team, examples are: liquid, new fnatic destroying with very little experience playing together, new guild qualified to vct without losing a match and having 3 new players, fpx 2022 roster, etc... firepower is everything in valorant atm imo, there are weak links in 90% of top teams, if you have 5 insane players and good igl/coach you will be instantly top5 team, specially guild, they are very experienced now playing together, a firepower upgrade would not destroy the chemistry and would only be a good thing
Ok, I accept it from redgar, but not from ange1. Known for being since the beta the 1st to die always being the smoker making super risky plays, for me it is not the right role that his team needs, plus the great trolleada that makes his team in compos, etc.. Then we can also compare the track record, kolda won master1 with a team of rookies created by himself, then signed for g2 and managed to reach master and be top3-4 in lan (if I remember correctly). Later in the LCQ with a broken team (nukkye and keloqz fighting and talking shit to each other) he almost made it to master, they combed it, he went to guild and made them a much better team than they were before (most likely they would have gone to masters if they didn't troll the last games of the split)... I know him since his time in pugb and I think he's a crack!

so he lacked firepower in the past and you're not even considering his gameplay since he joined guild? idk what to say to you. do you think that someone can't improve enough to gain "firepower"? what does firepower even mean? ability to frag out? how many multikills they get? not every team has to be explosive and stacked with star players, because then who will be there to set them up? i dont understand what you even mean.
g2 doesnt have good firepower, only nukkye and hoody are world class, maybe avova if they utilize him correctly, my point is, eventually if your firepower is good enough and you are not an igl, there will be a player that will be able to do everything you are able to do and has 10 times more firepower than you, also we dont know what russ brings to the team but surely he is not the brain of it, they have experienced coaching staff, koldamenta and their other 3 players are very smart too
there easily are honestly, both have very bad firepower, I would keep koldamenta and get fitinho and thats a big firepower upgrade
BTW there is a difference between firepower and aimers, soulcas has great aim but has very mediocre firepower by firepower I mean players that can perform and put up numbers, if you pick fitinho as a main duelist, he will 100% perform and give you numbers while trexx or sayf fill the roles russ was playing with way better firepower, its a win/win imo
A lot of people are speculating that FNC and FPX are going to Copenhagen....these 2 are a surety regards to their current performance the last spot is Acend/Guild/TL
Acend is no joke rn and yea they throw hard sometimes but if they go into beast mode they can steamroll some of the best EMEA teams. Guild tbh even I think is more obvious than Acend cz as u stated they have been playing beautifully even in a weaker bracket. Liquid is one I only consider cz of their past performances and Dominance. As for M3C...I dunno man they need to wake up but they just can't seem to do it rn.
