also cauan is the fucking truth this guy is cracked
spraying through smokes requires timing and crosshair placement saying it happened 10 times in a single match because of luck is coping too much specially since the valorant smokes are small, if csgo has way larger smokes and a lot of common taps through smokes i see this as completely normal, whats really unlucky is that it happened to victor all the time though
I am a fan of Victor but he has been the weakest part of every elimination game they've been in. When he's on he's on and he was good against GIA but the most obvious difference in ability this game was between the ability of victor and less/cauan. s0m and tuyz were both playing cracked, the IGLs were coaching well, both awpers showed flashes of brilliance, and crashies, less, and cauan were great. Victor has gotta step it up IMO for NA league, as the rest of the team looks top tier.
But if I had to place money on anything it would be Marved with s0m moving to flex(he'd obviously have to improve his comfort on breach but apart from that he plays all flex agents). It could also just be whichever of Trent/jonahp, nismo, or v1c doesn't make franchising(by far the best flexs in t2 NA IMO, Sick would be there if he wasn't benched).
I'm not saying they should actually drop him, but that's 3 straight losses to Loud where he has drastically underperformed. He has many hero moments to him and a high ceiling, but his low is LOW sometimes. they won't replace him, nor should they, unless something crazy happens, but he's def the guy I'm most critical of on this NRG team.
vic has the most first engagements on attack on the team because he is always the one who bits the bullet on a hard entry round or taking aggressive space, often even in front of the duelist just like he did before because its needed, he plays to support his team and take the major risks away from other players, you just read stats so please stop talking about roster changes god bless
Alright, lets ignore victor's first deaths. If we're considering eye-test, he's always in positions where he cant be traded or he's unable to trade. Is this just bad positioning by him because of the new team? Because he stands out a lot during trading kills.
Also, you're just describing what victor does. But it clearly didnt work on split/fracture. That's two maps where he got neutralized. So, who's actually the weak link?. I can understand your hesitation to answer who's the weak link on NRG to protect your career. But dont go around spewing stuff from your moral high ground with no solutions or any discussion. Surely, everyone can agree there is some weak link on NRG else they wouldn't have lost. So, either do better or stop attacking vlr users for discussing the difficult questions that you cant answer, trick.
