I want a GENG VS T1 EL CLASSICO next year at internationals.

alecks is more like manager and should leave the coaching spot. Jingg should be replaced with a full fledged IGL.

entire 2024 season in other words

its fine, n4rrate is doing so well on senti its worth making that switch imo.

I really hope so

PRXs 2024 performance would say otherwise.

not hating on n4rrate but KC literally fell off after this win, they were probably bottom 4 in EMEA after this win for the rest of the year. There is no point pulling out old matches they dont mean shit.

When is the GE roster going to be announced?. The owner has been saying for almost 3 weeks now that the players have been decided and roster announcement by the end of the week. This will be the 3rd week now. Why is he milking this so much just announce the damn roster and get onto scrimming.

playing around demon1 would be a lot more difficult though than playing around aspas was.

It is on the weaker side though, imports have nothing to do with it.

I dont think he just wants to try for other regions, he is comfortable enough playing in South Asia and getting the bag. Which no offense is kind of a shame because you say he is one of the only few players who works hard.

does this win even matter though? GENG won Shanghai through qualifying for groups and PRX got embarassed.

What matters in the bigger picture for you? PRX keeps farming Pacific or they actually win a masters or a champs? I am not fake fan bro, PRX has not improved 1 bit since 2023 which is scary if you think they were about to be world champs.

I got happy for a second thinking he might get to join a better team now.

GENG has continuously shat on PRX in 2024. In 1 year GENG achieved more than what PRX achieved in 3 years.

He cant even play an agent the way its intended to, just spamming utility is not being the flex itw. Carried by his mechanical prowess.

forsaken being the best flex in the world is a bit too much but other than that he is definitely rated perfectly.

Did NAP1 got a double map ban or not? Because on vlr it shows both teams got a map ban but on YT it shows both maps were selected by NAP1.

is buzz even joining?

go cry on twitter then.

you are acting like they are a bunch of retards who cannot learn. And johnqt played fade thrice in the red bull tourney which means he has already started to fill in the gaps. Use that brain.

Split
Raze - Zekken
Cypher - JohnQT
Omen - bang
Fade/Skye - N4RRATE
Viper/Secondary Initiator - Zellsis

Bind
Raze - Zekken
Brimstone - bang
Viper - JohnQT
Initiator - N4RRATE
Secondary Flash Initiator - Zellsis
Johnqt might go fade, N4RRATE might go gekko and zellsis might go brim to put bang on viper as bang played viper on this map when he was in 100T because cryo played brim on Bind.
Use your brain Ha4dy

the current meta had 2 initiators on bind so zellsis would also play initiator most likely.

With N4RRATE and bang joining they have insane firepower. Hope there is no comp issues.

let them win first

Who tf said TH VS EDG would barely get any views? Saw a thread here yesterday saying that this would be the worst GF in competitive valorant history and that it would barely get any views. People gotta stop thinking that American Teams are the only ones who can pull viewership.

I didn't mean to say TH gave GENG the title, GENG definitely played better that day. I was just trying to point out that both regions first intl title wins would be against TH in the grand finals if EDG wins tomorrow.

Tomorrow in the grand finals of champions 2024 TH could become the only team to give not just Pacific but also China their first International title.

Cause of death: Overcooking.
Not putting Riens and Benjy on their comfort picks kinda fucked them over.

Look at FNC they hit a slump but with hiro they are doing much better, not because Leo was the problem but sometimes you just need a change. And davai is not their full time IGL, watch their voice comm vids. Boaster said this about his team that they have been together for a long time and they sometimes not hold each other accountable due to being close friends. Either they need a roster change or they gotta work on their role issues, macros and discipline and also have 1 guy who does the calling. Mindfreak once said in their vlogs that his role is the toughest because everyone keep asking for a different smoke depending on what individual play their going to make, if that dosnt prove that they dont have an IGL I dont know what will.

He is not. Maybe on paper but during a match they all call.

Wasnt even rooting for PRX in their match against EDG cuz they didnt deserve to qualify for playoffs the way they have been playing since Madrid. EDG really have improved a lot since Shanghai and as I said they should get credit where its due. Not everything is about a flair you dumb retard.

EDG has improved a lot. SEN played fine but give EDG credit where it's due.

W EDG, their improvement since the Shanghai debacle has been insane.

Unfortunately they do need a change. In my opinion they need a dediacted IGL who can push the team out of complacency and someone who can hold the teammates accountable for their mistakes and a fulltime duelist with discipline.

The only good teams in Madrid were SEN and GENG. Shanghai was 5 times more competitve than Madrid.

Jawgemo over Keznit.

1. SEN or LEV
2. SEN or LEV
3. TH
   LEV has a strong map pool so LEV might take it, but SEN are a very momentum based team and their momentum is at an all time high. Could go either way between these 2 teams.

They wont have a fulltime initiator though. Thats a stupiud move imo, I would rather have them sign a full time initiator.

I am pretty sure he mistook lock in for a masters win, but what did you mistook to make tenz a 3 time masters winner?

I think it was broken on the airport not stolen.

2 or 5 look interesting

youre just an org meat rider.

That definitely was not an off day. That was probably the best BO3 at champs. Both teams pushed each other to their limit and GENG fell short at the end not because they had an off day but TH just played better.

honestly I kinda agree with you, not on the baiter part but benching jinggg and something and bringing a dedicated IGL + a full time duelist who is hungry to win trophies would do the job.

they could do that but the core has been playing together for a long time, they wont hold each other accountable. A new face on the roster especially an IGL can do that. Look at FNC they were kinda in a slump before shanghai, adding hiro drastically improved their performance. I am not saying Leo was the problem but sometimes you just need a change. PRX desperately needs a change atm.

honestly that would not work either, imo they need an IGL.

f0rsakeN - sentinel (his mechanical prowess is too good, this year was a complete waste for a player of his caliber. Put him on senti so he doesnt have to worry about setting a duelist up)
d4v41 - initiator (learn all initiators including sova and his lineups)
mindfreak - controller (he has been doing this for a long time and he can do it in the future too, his performance at champs in terms aiming and fragging was alot better compared to madrid and shanghai which honestly was a relief to watch, he still has it in him)
Now comes the hard part as PRX dont like to make changes in their roster, so there are 2 options either bench Jinggg and something can be their full time duelist jett+raze+neon which I believe he can but he would also have to work a lot on his discipline. And bring a full time IGL.
OR
Bench both Jinggg and something and sign a dedicated igl who can push the team out of complacency and can someone who can hold players accountable he should be able to play initiator and sometimes switch to controller like viper and the 5th guy should be a new face who would be their full time duleist and is hungry to win a trophy can play all roles jett+raze+neon+yoru.
In 2024 Valorant we learned that running a double duelist comp is pretty stupid apart from some teams which utilise it to its fullest potential but PRX just cannot, its either 2 ini, 2 controller or both + a duelist.
And most importantly this is T1 Valorant it is made for winning not to have fun, it seems the current roster is not hungry to win a trophy anymore. From my perspective they need to make a roster change atleast and have a fulltime IGL. I dont see these 5 guys and coaches do something notable next year.

Meta should not be an issue imo. Is the game not about adapting with the changes? The meta was not in their favor the entire season so they had a fuck ton of time on their hands to adapt to it and they didnt. Shanghai should have been a wake up call, I am sure they would have gotten grouped in Shanghai if they didnt had the first seed buy. I believe it is time to make some changes and preferably get a dedicated IGL, the core has been together for way too long to the point they dont even hold each other accountable for bad games/plays. You cannot run 2 duelists in 2024 it just doesnt make sense. And they should always remember that Tier 1 valorant is for winning not to have fun. A fuck ton teams and players are dying for this opportunity they should not let this go to waste.

they have a good chance now tbh, their side of the bracket is a mickey mouse bracket. They just have to get through DRX which they can and they have secured top 3 atleast.
