Thank you. Idk why everyone is overreacting, both series were close. I can easily say 100T look at least top 15 globally rn, maybe top 10. Also worth noting they had very little time to implement Tejo and on Split they looked very very clean with him. Now they will have proper time to fully implement what they want in this meta, and will continue to look good in Split 1

Why do you think they are inconsistent? They looked really strong against MIBR, and played 2 top 3 teams on paper and still looked strong while getting at least 9 rounds on all 6 maps

Actually crazy that they look like a top 4 team and now they are tied for last with 2g :(

Just the page on mobile browser I mean

Actually rankings has a solution with the drop down menu, could we add that to events?

Can we fix the events page for mobile? Specifically the region tabs. I can not access the GC tab, it cuts off the screen. I always have to change to a desktop site to click it. Either changing it to have a scroll function or formatting it to always fit on screen. No clue how difficult that is. Thanks!

Competition, especially at the start of a new meta, is far closer in Valorant than in World Cup Qualifiers. Additionally, teams are sometimes swapping out 60% of their roster going in. A single double elimination that decides your first quarter of the year is rough by definition.

I think we're talking about Rocket? Yeah bro is a clown ngl

All of these 1-5% changes amount to A TON at the end

Changing way too much and making agents too powerful, gonna be like Astra viper meta with this much util

I made the original X post. I think Anderzz's quote rt effectively explains and summarizes why controller is best,

"The one who controls the smokes, controls the pace. Your team isn't execing before your smokes go down; they're the prerequisite and trigger. Your team isn't clearing mid/intermediate spaces without smokes for one of the adjoining corridors; they're the prerequisite and trigger. By putting IGL's in the position to control smokes, you're putting them in a position to control the game."

The data I gathered also shows that controller led teams tend to do better this year, and 8 out of 13 of them qualified to Champs. Compare that to 7 out of 25 Initiator led teams.

I'm dumb and accidentally put Haodong for my D Flex spot, can you change mine to either Lysoar or BerLIN?

Is it just me or is the casting this year leaps and bounds better than like 2022/21. The wordplay is astounding

S: Derke
A: Alfajer
B: kiNgg
C: C0M
D: Haodong

Think TH 60:40 FPX but other than that based

If SEN make top 3 of playoffs are 100T auto qualified to champs? (Rest of teams are 3 pts below) Or would they have to beat LOUD too

We need a GentleMates vs Bleed as a showmatch before Champs

Well 2022 is the only year that really mattered bc 2020/2021 was primitive Valorant and 2023 is Leo Faria propaganda. #100WIN #GOATSUNA #100TVAL #COMMSDIFF #BANG (in a Mike Breen voice)

For the people who listened to the EMEA broadcast what did we think about Steel's color casting? I wasn't able to watch most of it, but was pleasantly surprised to see him standing in

To watch SEN v LOUD bc 100T will play winner of that next

They don't qualify

4 slots

The top half of the bracket is STACKED no? Feels like the bottom half is kinda free. One team from each half is guaranteed to win out through winners, so, we're guaranteed to see one of those teams in challengers

Disregarding that we knew this 3 months ago, there were also like 3 posts 2-3 hours ago about aspas leaking. Internet explorer moment

We've known this since October

I didn't wait 6 months to see them lose in groups and be out for a month. I already called Boostio and he told me they're winning.

Surely

Bro tried to sneak in TSM

Boostio said he got kicked out of the room when joining the LxT cast. Is there some discourse among the teammates?? 100 Thieves are in trouble if they don't fix this before the season starts.
-Sentinels fans, probably

My bad

NKT got wingardium leviosad

So?

Boostios tweet is way too high quality to not be a shot from an announcement video. Bro is not taking out the dslr and lights to post that he doesn't have a home lol

What would the New Year's Resolutions of each team look like?
Example: Sen - Don't mess with the roster every week

kiNgg, Cloud, Sayf

We're about to enter 2024 and you need to go back to 2021 for all these games lmao, could also pull the same ~more recent~ stats for >30 other T2 players. She's a good player but those games mean nothing imo. Like EG showed us (and SEN the opposite) its more the intangibles and chemistry that push a team over the top, not 50 kills/series

Ooo look at me! I can cherry pick stats too!

Got differentialed by Jarydfps!!!

January 8th

The C can be used early in the round, it would just create a bubble replicating the gamestate before the round, so basically canceling out utility in that bubble

Think of the C like a bubble that can stick to walls, trajectory like harbor cove. First 30 seconds it can be used to create a bubble with no utility, canceling out mollies, smokes, etc.
I agree that the E could be different somehow

Clockwork
temporal thief
Sentinel/Jack of all trades

Signature Ability - Heist
Press E to show past abilities used around you. Left click to copy an altered (worse) version of that ability (non-ultimate) to use in the next round. Will retain that ability throughout the following rounds until another one is copied

Q - Backtrack $200, 1 charge
Press Q to equip a temporal trap, then left click to place. Upon seeing an enemy within its radius, charge for 1 second then send all players within the radius to their locations 10 seconds prior and stun them.

C - Wormhole $400, 1 charge
Press C to equip an orb. Left click to throw and replicate the gamestate within the orb 30 seconds ago for 8 seconds. Right click to throw and replicate the gamestate within the orb 10 seconds ago instead. Use Signature ability to scout out the utility placed prior

Ultimate - Slow Field 8 orbs
Slow all enemies within a large radius. All movement and abilities are slowed to half speed, including movement abilities such as tailwind and satchels, as well as gravity. Think harbor ult radius and duration

Some ideas for her kit:
Use the Wormhole ability to deny lineups while defusing because you just revert the gamestate around the spike to 30 seconds ago

When the enemy team is executing a site throw the orb on a smoke to revert 30 seconds, effectively removing it

You can be super creative with it on attack. Send a sova dart on site and see where enemies break it from for info, then send the Wormhole where the dart landed 10 seconds later and exec with the same dart

Use backtrack on hookah drop on Bind defense and Raze does the tp thing off of it, they are tp'ed back 10 seconds and and stunned

I think her E is probably too op with certain abilities, not sure, also depends on how nerfed they are when she copies them

fake news btw no way they sign lenne and ban
they sign governor and xZe(from XERXIA )
Im Thai and I know it

Maybe best upside, not today though

More Global than Global Esports

What are your Americas rankings assuming Aspas is on LEV?

This is.... interesting

If every match were a 50/50 the odds would be...

EG v PRX - 50%
EG v Fnatic - 12.5%
EG v LOUD - 12.5%
PRX v Fnatic - 12.5%
PRX v LOUD - 12.5%

EG/PRX chances of making grand finals - 75%
LOUD/FNC chances of making grand finals - 25%
