actually based

yup, also adhd doesn't help

yeah, precisely this. It's like the head hit box just feels larger

warming up is a cheatcode, when I started I got from plat to ascendant within like 2 chapters (acts?) a few years ago

Range is boring as hell for my admittedly small attention span
tdm is annoying because you don't get to use rifles until the second half (or less depending on kills)

also CS is just more mechanically challenging, so it makes gunfights easier in valorant

Val deathmatch is so ass, so I just warmup is CS deathmatch, I don't even play CS, its just that Val deathmatch is that bad

how come you want zellsis or sacy gone? and who do you have in mind?
I think Sacy is a v good player who's just going through a rough patch, zellsis I agree he's not the greatest, but he seems to gel well with the team, and I don't think he's bad enough that he's actively holding the team back

I was close to leaving LEV off of the list bc C0M, but I think the problems with him are really easy to fix

I think GENG can make it close if they do better at champs, but yeah so far I agree

only if LEV lose their first 2 games SEN don't qualify

booing is fine imo, it helps get closer to the 'sports' atmosphere, it's probably just the loud minority who speak without regard for evidence online who make the fanbse look bad

seen a lot of threads of teams which should blow it up, but here's the opposite

AMER:

100T
LEV
SEN
G2 (I think Icy has potential, I think people are just being reactionary when calling for him to be cut)
LOUD (just make some role adjustments)

EMEA:

Liquid? (they looked decent with nAts igling, but I'm willing to concede this one)
KC
NAVI :( (no logical reason, just clinging on to the glory days)
FNC (subject to Leo's health)
TH
FUT

APAC:

PRX
DRX? (I'm inclined to say blow it up, but termi always cooks somehow)
GENG
RRQ
TLN? (might be some upgrades, but I'd be cool with them running it back)
T1 (I like the korean comms roster, even despite of Carpe's criticisms)

I like it more than breeze, but imo it's too hard to A split and too hard to defend B

F N C

we can watch it anyways

man rip navi

LEV confirmed
I think there is only 1 way for SEN to not qualify
idk about the rest

FPX
PRX
FNC
LEV

hiro drops 82
2-1 to FNC

they certainly cooked
ty

immigrant song has the beat, I see the vision

wtf is this
(why it lowk addicting tho)

I think each region has different writers, so it's not really a collective decision afaik

yeah it does, do you know the name of the song?

looking for some hype music

Honestly, why is this the case? Japan has a huge fan base, so surely they also have a good talent pool. What's missing?

fnatic scouting is goated (glaze is real)
first alfajer, now hiro.

for hiro it honestly depends on whether Leo is well enough to return in 2025.
but Pati defo has a place on a KOI/Giants tier team

trexx has been good in stage 2, but I think his performance in split 1 was average at best, he's definitely an integral part of the team, it's just that as a team VIT has played every map win close, (with very few exceptions) and I just don't think its sustainable to keep it up with Cender's style of calling.

Personally I haven't really seen any threads calling for VIT to blow it up, but I have seen a few comments here and there, but there's always such comments for every team. I think they should continue with their current roster into the off season and see if they can get any upgrades for Kicks + RunneR later on.

I mean I think this is very easy to say with hindsight, for most of the season they looked like Sayf + friends, but only recently they've started to look better. I my self can't wait to see them at champs, but it's obvious this team has it's shortcomings.

evidence suggests that they are scrimming without sacy (likely because of personal issues), but theres nothing official yet

man sucks to see someone of his calibre have to go through something like this, hopefully he bounces back for next year, even if he doesn't play. Hiro is still a very good player so I look forward to see what he can do at champs

if an NA player gets through to champs EMEA will never hear the end of it
also I wanna see sayf and trexx on LAN again

who

who are they billy billying

"GF" you say? That I can do!

in fact I can get you 4!

So.... when platchat and many from the na val community were saying that Leviatán was about to collapse as a team, there were problems and factions inside the team and so much more, it was alright, because everyone hates the org and 'but look at the fut match' blah blah. And instead of going and fighting the allegations, the players tanked it and didn't respond directly to the accusations, and let their matches speak for themselves. But, when Dryad goes to Platchat and makes her interpretation of the Cryo's Interview and try to understand within the current 100T context during S2, all of a sudden, it is bad and we need to have every single one of them commenting about the first clip (not the second obviously, because that would give context, and context is bad) and saying how she's telling lies. ????? just take it dude, i really doubt the vibes are good after choking the loud series.
just admit you're hurt egomaniac pig that ain't gonna be on champs. Hopefully your team does not win cause you don't deserve Dryad interviewing you.

prepare for 12-5 being spammed in chat

suygetsu said they might stay together for the offseason but nothing confirmed 100%

assuming no repeats

confirmed:

• outlaw
• knife

edit: apparently its ONLY the knife outlaw and a sheriff

its unlikely we get another vandal/phantom imo, I think we'll just get stuff like the ghost and odin

nah we don't, its completely possible there isnt one at all, it's happened before

if they beat PRX I'm back on the DRX hype train

honestly I can see boaster becoming HC if he retires, mini is part time atm so idk if he's coming back. But honestly yeah that would be a sick team

anytime 🗿

fuck it we ball mentality (pls do it I can't see yay retire as y0y)

wtf its not as long ago as I remember, basically shahzam started stirring shit for a while then it all kinda calmed down. I think this where most of the shahzam hate originates ngl

im fine with ange1 > munckin (for now)

but idk Boostio's success is sort of short term. Ofc champs is a huge achievement, but I just need to see it over a longer term internationally, idk I would value someone like stax more, who's shown consistent success at the international level

even better
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyR5pgZF82U
atleast pacific production is cooking

yeah it does look a bit odd ngl, but most of the EMEA trophies are weird too so idk how much I can talk

imo there shouldn't even be a trophy for playoffs, very little meaning for champs especially where atp playoffs is only for seeding

https://bo3.gg/valorant/news/leo-faria-announced-the-start-date-of-valorant-champions-2025

the off season between 25-26 should be much shorter, considering that champs will probably end at the end of oct/start of november
