bro had the script

only bad rating is lev needs to be higher, like 3-5 at least, edwrd too high and g2 higher

the fact that everyone here is either sentinels or 100thieves flairs say a lot here

I'd rather prioritize making an actual argument but your choice.

u said "Gambit was just hero plays from talented players" not a single word of that conveys "the team at the time would not compare to any of the teams on this list"

You are blanketly saying that M3C/Gambit were only good because of the fact they had insane aimers, So did Fnatic last year, they won 2 massive events, So did Leviatan this year, they are top of their group, You can argue any "good team" just have good aimers, u can argue Leviatan is just getting carried by Aspas or Loud was being carried by Aspas, U can argue EG just did a fluke run because of the fact no one knew their strats and they could anti strat everyone, but at the end of the day.

The lack of understanding that u miss is to be an amazing team, u need strategy on top of good players. No matter what stage we are at right now or 2021 Gambit/M3C if put back together would probably be able to adapt to the circumstances now and u cannot argue otherwise because it's probably never going to happen.

On top of this, U cannot argue any team which won a massive event purely won because of aim, If u did this you could argue that Kru is only winning due to Keznit being insane, Considering he has a 1.30 KD (On Raze) in TIER 1, playing against the considered greatest players in the world VS the Duelist of Gambit, D3ffo going 1.20 maximum in considerable lower tiers of games, How do u argue that Gambit are only Aimers when your own teams duelist is outfragging Gambits duelist in Tier 1 while D3ffo is in Challengers League France

Good argument in return.

if that's all it took why are 3 of them still playing in tier 1 valorant 3 years later, surely if they were just talented and strategically trash they would've fallen off by now?

It's important to note that Aspas the goat went from loud and now they aren't even really top 5 contenders meanwhile they used to be top 3 easily
meanwhile, Leviatan was top 10 max before they picked up aspas and now they look top 3, arguably 1st in the league

How are u supposed to support "They were never actually that good of a team strategically" when they had so many strats on so many maps that no one ever thought about, the fade Q raaze nade combo onto I think it was asuna on fracture and countless other things

"class clown energy" would be trying to make other people laugh, he doesn't do it for anyone else he does it to enjoy his own time and make it fun for people around him

First things first, It's important to note that every team fails at some point or another to anti stratting, and it's important to have a good strategy but it also makes u vulnerable to anti stratting as seen above with just this year.

and while it's true that teams play to secure a good regional spot, it's equally important to show up when it matters. Take T1 for example, they didn't put in maximum effort during the Pacific rounds, yet they managed to make it to the playoffs finals by performing when it truly mattered. It's not about 5-0ing and using everything in the league, but about being strategic and effective when it counts.

Cop out answer, go back to debate club xd.

This is also a fair point, boaster joined almost 3 years ago now

I mean, I would argue the fact they qualified means it was enough? you don't play this game to 5-0 in your league, u play it to win big events and surely fnatic is just doing that instead of tryharding the leagues?

how do u hate a man who is nothing but positive and never has a bad word to say about anyone?

why does everyone hate fnatic so much

how do people look at these games and realistically blame 1 player I don't get it

I'm interested in reading more Crime/Thriller/Mystery books instead of just nonfiction. Can you recommend any?

I don't play london, i also never mentioned apac.

ngl duo and trio players, stating as a solo q player lowkey throw the game though in high elo, because they are good enough to know not to reply to shit people say but they also sit in the bubble of their parties incapable of speaking to their teammates and in higher elo comparatively to iron/bronze/silver/gold where people are somewhat trying, that is troll.

This depends heavily on region, Regions like Oceania and asia i would say it's a hell of a lot easier to get to higher ranks purely because the competition isn't as fierce.

i feel like radiant is always the same in every region but if u put a team of NA/Emea immortals on a team vs Asia/Oceania Immortals the NA/Emea team would win 7 out of 10 games comparatively, but it also comes down to factors like does the NA/Emea team work well together, Does the Asia/Oceania team work well.

If your talking solely NA/Emea i feel immortal is the high elo, I've spent a lot of time and I'm only consistently d3/ascendant and I don't aim train, max 3 dms a day and get carried by util usage and my gamesense, i have 1 of the 3 pillars and am still consistently ascendant.

I feel like in Oceania or Asia i could reach ranks like immortal 1/2 with my current skill set just based off stuff i've seen myself.

that's my perspective :D

guy said ardiis is hella underated when he couldn't step above the crowd in the worst form nrg had in it's entire history

vlr isn't that quirky is crazy

who cars

let them be stupid, there's no point

bros about to eat his words

who cars

.

i mean the evidence is clear, he's playing smokes again and he's looking so much better again so..

the fact of the matter is that he was performing as well as he was on a smoker and they picked him up to put him on a duelist, of course it won't be nearly as good until he adjusts

bro u took an insane smoker and put him on a duelist and now your surprised he can't play? wow shocker who would've fucking guessed

i mean to be fair, the guy who op crutches 24/7 would make impact at a time where no one really knew what strats/antistrats were xd

does anyone have a clip

Bro being a good duelist has nothing to do with if he diffed anyone, the fact of the matter is that aspas can play almost every duelist to a high standard apart from yoru from what I've seen, purely because he hasn't even played yoru and Zekken is also more of a flex than a main duelist, look at his page and see how many agent's he flexes, sure he might not be good on some but it's still a much wider agent pool than QCK, That level of flexibility is what will probably bite QCK in the ass long term

Point being, both mentioned above can play 4 duelists or above to a high standard, and QCK can't even put numbers up on the main agent that's needed right now (Jett) that's a massive diff long term

GenG couldn't antistrat for shit on breeze, they looked as lost as DRX's A hold on the map, that's a massive weak point for ANYONE facing them next, they look like the new FUT or BBL, they look good on a few but on the others they just look awful

QCK is most defo mid compared to almost every other duelist they could've picked up imo

yeah ngl that commentator celebrated way too hard for 5 people all 1v1ing him 1 after another and not even trying to fuck his crosshair placement or anything

in the wise words of woohoojin, "I guarantee you, your teammates know they made a mistake or played bad there's no need for you to bring it up and make them feel worse about themselves"

He got his visa issues confirmed fixed after 1st map of Navi game, he can play on staage at madrid (source Team Heretics coaches on Sliggy's stream after the game ended)

Bro i love how many people hate on a team just for being good

ngl it was a mental diff too

damn this guy came out just to get every prediction the complete wrong way, crazy

mfers who say stuff is mickey mouse and doesn't count care too much and need to learn to sit back and enjoy the content

shouldn't of even had a chance over teams like c9 and leviatan tbh

using this exact same logic, even though oxy has 0.75 rating aand a 0.69kd, he is better than aspas because he has aa higher first kill %

bro spent time on this just to get no comments lmao

in actuality, sexism and racism, along with lots of other things similar to it, are learned behaviours rather than fundamental beliefs from birth, which means it has nothing to do with intelligence and more to do with fundamental values and normally family values more so than any other factor, sure intelligence plays a part but u can't say it's the biggest contributing factor, hope this helps!

I support Fnatic and Leviatan, Fnatic since early masters (the first ever) and Leviatan since Onur joined their team, he's a good coach and i appreciated his work at kru, i also liked the levi ceo and players like taco, but i've always respected Aspas so i saw that as a good upgrade, thanks for coming to my ted talk

if u don't get it, you never will, have a good day

all 3 teams which made a different look than they looked last year all dropped 3-5 members and some coach and analysts and picked up 3-5 new players and some new coaches and analysts, the data is there and u just hope people won't check, brainrot
