Im a bit late but sayf talked on his showstopper episode about a drama in the ACE squad that could affect their performances in a negative way.
Does anyone know what he means
You're actually delusional what.
They only time they ever lost were against the lowest of low tier teams. It was so bad to the point where they could barely compete with the people on their level because the low tier teams kept beating them.
Proof:
Lost to NIP: CNed +21 everyone else was barely even or negative
Lost to Team Vitality: CNed and Kiles only 2 positive with everyone VERY negative
Lost to SMB: CNed going positive or even every map. Everyone else either super inconsistent or negative. Team lacking behind because Cned wasn't hauling them on his back.
Lost to VisionStrikers: Cned only one positive everyone else once again slacking
Cned is the only one consistently putting up regular numbers while the rest of their games all depend on whether or not the rest of the team will actually perform.
Just because you say some goofy phrase doesn't mean you're right. Obviously it's a team game and everyone has to work together, but the TEAM is doing consistently awful in comparison to Cned.
you are talking about 2 matches in stage 2 before they got zeek but ever since that they have all played well except bonecold who struggled on controller before switching to sova + obviously masters 3 they were shacking and couldnt hit shots but other than that they have always played well + dont look at stats, watch the actual game but ofc you wont you probably only watch NA vct shitty gameplay + cned is insane but he is playing jett op and getting away with murder in the past, now he cant put +30 kills consistently because the overagressive shit he was doing doesnt work that well anymore + how do you expect support players to put insane numbers when they have a jett op who is agro peeking everything and getting 3 kills per round because the other teams cant punish him, probably the rest of the team going even is good enough
Lmao so you're telling me teams of the likes of Vitality should beat them? Even during masters WITH zeek they were still inconsistent. Having choked against 100T. Losing versus VS like I just said before
As for needing to watch EU Valorant I do, I'm giving you the stats as proof. The data is hard evidence of what I am talking about. You can claim that I'm wrong, but I'm watching ALL regions all of last year and this year it.
The facts are that the only actual consistent member of Acend is Cned. Their matches literally are just whether or not everyone else would like to perform. That's literally their only deciding factor.
if you think in valorant stats is "hard evidence" you dont know what you are talking about/retarded burger brain/fortnite player/you think you are smarter than you are + you clearly have some reading comprehension issues, you still dont understand im talking about the roster since the addition of zeek and no they were not inconsistent in masters 3, they were straight up dogshit they were shacking like it was -20 degrees in the arena, fucking starxo was aiming like a platinum noob, but other than masters 3/vivo keyd match the whole team has delivered (not talking about matches before getting zeek remember that burger) + you claim to watch all regions, then watch more carefully or try to understand what is happening, my grandmother can also watch all regions and still not understand what the fuck she is watching which seems to be the case with you dog
what excuses burger eating dog, as I said they played like dogshit in berlin they were shacking and aiming like bots just use your eyes thats all the evidence you need, rewatch vivo keyd vs acend and watch starxo aim, he was clearly nervous he literally couldnt aim but other than that tournament they all played well so what excuses am I coming up with? Your dog brain clearly doesnt understand stats arent everything and there are things stats dont show + you must interpretate stats because stats alone dont tell the whole picture but obviously your education system didnt teach you that, eye test > stats + go check whole stage 3 stats (expect masters 3 remember scoobie) and tell me they didnt perform considering they have a hyper agressive jett op player who as literally every pro you asked at that time he was getting away with things he wouldnt get away in 1-2 months, you can see it now, he cant go +30 every match anymore because teams got good and no longer get picked on attack by dumb jett op plays, example of that is sentinels vs fnatic (not the finals one), go watch icebox and see how a dogshit bot like shahzam was getting away with stupid aggressive jett picks and not punished, now imagine cned who is like 30 times a better player in every facet of the game do the same or even more aggressive, how is he not gonna get away with all those things if even a bot like shahzam is getting away with a top3 team in EU/world at the time, THINK MONKEY THINK BURGER CUNT THINK MONKEY THINK BURGER CUNTTHINK MONKEY THINK BURGER CUNTTHINK MONKEY THINK BURGER CUNTTHINK MONKEY THINK BURGER CUNTTHINK MONKEY THINK BURGER CUNTTHINK MONKEY THINK BURGER CUNTTHINK MONKEY THINK BURGER CUNTTHINK MONKEY THINK BURGER CUNTTHINK MONKEY THINK BURGER CUNTTHINK MONKEY THINK BURGER CUNTTHINK MONKEY THINK BURGER CUNT
Again your comment just proves that you have no idea what you are talking about and that you clearly don't follow EU Valorant. Acend was arguably the best EU team last year (their true potential). Only not making it to Masters 2 due to single elim system (Sentinels also lost their first game IIRC) and they choked and heavily underperformed in Masters 3. Outside of that they have always been top top EU team and consistent as well. Also its true that cNed is their starplayer, but what is the problem with that? I think its pretty funny when American complains about team having carry player when that is exactly how most NA teams operate.
Yes I understand all of this. I never said any of this isn't true... I said if Cned has attitude issues its most likely rooted in the rest of his team being inconsistent compared to him. Anytime they lose its only ever Cned doing good. I never said any of this wasn't true don't understand how any of this has to do with what I said.
Never did I say Acend was bad rather I said the only time they lost was to the lowest of tier teams. Same thing happened with Sentinels. They lost to the likes of andbox and BBG ffs.
Ok so, There's 2 ways of valorant right, There's teams like, off my take Gambit, Acend, Then theirs teams like 100Thieves, TL, Sentinels,
Teams like Gambit and Acend i feel all practice 10 hours a day to get everything they do PERFECT, The environment in the squad is always nice, everyone knows and are probably friends with each other and they aren't toxic, That's a good atmosphere.
With 100Thieves TL, Sentinels, There's differences, Sentinels don't care much anymore about actual matches because they have been known as "the best team in the world", more focusing on streaming and other monetary gain rather than competing as a normal valorant team would do, in the matches i don't doubt because of zombs, stuffs naturally pretty toxic when someone else messes up, with sick and dapr they are pretty "i don't say anything to toxicity" in my view, then theirs tenz who will say nothing as well, shazzy will tell zombs to stfu and get into the next round clean slate, that toxicity holds onto them however and makes the attitude overall worse, that's a bad mindset and space to be in, therefore it's a bad atmosphere, this is all speculation (i don't know if there's any truth to it at all but it's my opinion), <--- this can be said to all about 100Thieves and TL as well, I don't know i'm just speculating
With TL i feel like it's looked very shaky with scream coming in, scream could get annoyed at his teammates doing dumb stuff because they just shouldn't be without realising they are new to the fps pro scene etc, pretty toxic atmosphere in games if scream is doing his name and screaming commands, saying what to do and basically getting annoyed when he shouldn't because while it's annoying his teammates may be new to the scene, he shouldn't probably be acting that way because it might just make them do worse, i was under the impression that scream was welcomed to TL's roster pretty well so i wouldn't be surprised if i was wrong
I feel like with 100Thieves they are just another one of those orgs which don't care much about playing and are more so there for monetary gain,
In total, I don't think CNed will leave acend Anytime soon, Nor will anyone else because the environment is a winners environment and while they may not of deserved to win anything at all, they still won it, the hardest game they had was against Gambit, With teams like Gambit and Acend they are the types of teams who for centuries do not ever change because changing to them seems impossible with the mould they have built and the friends they have made.
Where are you even getting 100T in this? 100T said they wanted to do the NSG tourneys, but they couldn't because they ran into issues with ec1s visa. By the time they got it worked out, the time to enter them had passed. They were just at a bootcamp for 2 weeks practicing 9 hour plus days and scrimming 6 times a day. They have been grinding, so whether or not they get the results, they are putting in the effort. Can't say they aren't.
