No default meta = no win for ange1

It is what it is

Vitality has another option besides hiro now.

Man i feel like vit is gonna be absolutely insane next year

You still see his individual level multiple times. Navi was a fucking mess. That was the actual issue. People ran around like headless chickens. Only gonna get bad fights that way

Crazy fucking decision. Should have rebuilt around shao&suy

Comeback, loita and larok are straight up international lan level players. That whats up.

They have no business playing in T2 anymore

This is the biggest braindead nonsense i have heard in a long time lmao. Check his match history you utter fool

Man this tournament seems so free for pacific which is a huge problem for emea...

He did get barca here can knock him there but i dont believe in last minute roster swaps unless the person in question is a complete griefer.

And another failure at ascension is something he has to answer for. Especially losing every match is unacceptable.

Lets not even talk about his business with miniboo

He is an annoying bitch who doesnt know how to behave. Thats his problem

Spain is pain

Speak now

Absolutely. Their matches were very close.

F4ngeer

Vitality is rich and they have them locked in contracts. Theres no angle here

You lose the soul of the team. Could start from scratch at that point.

Celasun is nothing special and rose is fine for an igl but this aint it.

You could have any turkish org ascend and it would be the same thing. Xeus aint joining that team either.

Besg case would be

Sociable flex igl
Ruxic smokes
Comeback (sub)/ Izzy?, Idk man
Anima ini
Elite/yetujey senti

Yeah i hope gonext win finals vs pcific

We have a team ascending that cant play their best plaayers.

3 WHOLE FUCKING PLAYERS CANT PLAY.

Maybe they retain comeback sknce he is 17 and sub him mid season but rip loita and larok.

What a waste of an ascension team.

What a shame since they are so fucking good

bren gigabased. The aspas goat narrative needs to die for good.

Biggest stats padder in valorant history

Why do you believe cloud is staying? No reason to think so imo

I wouldnt be surprised. Guys like Cloud, Sheydos, Derke, f4ngeer etc could all potentially be signed. So theres enough material

Could be derke too ofc. But yeah it would fit well

Yeah really weird line of thought. Like why not have a top 3-4 sentinel in the league?

dw. KPI will bounce back next year with enough time and win it for spain.

okay man

Youre gonna have to believe me on this one but i had this opinion since a few days before the start of the tournament.

My favourites for top 4 were and still are:

1. Gonext
2. Apex
3. pcific
4. Joblife

in that order.

i initially underrated joblife since france lost a lot of talent through Gm8 ascending and kadavra leaving for T1 so i didnt watch them much but one of you tipped me of in their direction on my last post so i rewatched french finals and the round before that with joblife and they were actually really impressive so i added them late. Still on the lower end since its only french league. its not quite turkey or eastern level.

i would have rated pcific at one by pure firepower but i was too chicken to put them at the top since they are a risky pick due to their inexperience so 3rd it is. i have a gut feeling now to put them second but that would be with the information of their first game of ascension which would hurt the intergrity of my list so i cant.

Apeks is apeks. Cant rank them outside of T4 imo. Too much experience. Too solid. Decent players with a supercarry in kajak. but i have a feeling they wont make it in the end. Some team is just gonna have better firepower and beat them. In my mind that was gonna be GoNext which so far seems to be accurate.

Gonext feels like the best team to me. Good combination of really strong individuals across the board with a really sound foundation of strategy and synergy. feels like a t1 team.

i would be quite surprised if someone other than them would win the event. teams like CGN, barca and others are good too but have some missing pieces imo.

there isnt any "spotlight" cuz nobody actually watches t2 that much. Youre gonna get the best takes from VlR on T2 unironically. And vlr was very high on eastern league all the way.

Dysre was never a favourite. they are solid like saw but more than top 4 would be shocking from them.

The favourites for top 4 were gonext, apex, pacific and joblife imo.

yeah man. really wild take from me

TH is gonna be a top contender the entire year. They have already a strong foundation and chemistry whereas most other teams will have to start from scratch.

So TH will have a really valuable head start and can focus on more advanced stuff.

but i agree with the sentiment that emea will improve alot. This year was already a great step from 2023 and i expect them to invest even more in the huge amount of talented rookeis available and build healthy longterm rosters.

So yes, it should not be easy domestically for them either.

Surely he pick a big org like Navi or TL right? Maybe even G2 or NRG tbh

Honestly portugal is producing quite a few great talents. Brazil should be heavily after them. DaviH and fizzy very proven in T2. Saw also has another good roster this year. Could sign a guy like cunha for sure.

And if tomaszy is free at some point they would be crazy not to sign him

i was busy IRL my bad.

thats fair. but still very risky choice by him. most people would choose the established teams for a more safe path to success

he will be for sure. i dont see a world where runner and kicks stay.

Sayf has been teasing that he is "cooking" anyway so expect big signings.

i think so. Davih can play ini or flex maybe even smokes. just like trexx. if they kick kicks (lul) then it would work well. but i think he would be more of a second or third option for them since guys like hiro, narrate and pati are available.

but acend is one of the most aggressive teams in their attempts to reach t1. They likely consider themselves a T1 org at heart still.

And considering xeus is wanted by the very top teams i think they will find a solution. I guess its just feeling based but i think EF will allow him to leave for a decent sum.

The 10k rumour from ardiis was an exageration btw. signing someone mid season is obviously gonna be more expensive anyway too

sure, but if he doesnt play T1 next year then imma be mad.

i mentioned the cuts my guy. but nobody is gonna join anything for a while. T2 is not done yet. Cant trial most of the top guys there. So all the rumnours of this guy is going there etc. are likely nonsense for now.

they are good but they will hit a ceiling due to their weird comps against the absolute top teams. I think GoNext is just too good a team to lose against them.

so be patient. most rumors now are not gonna be legit. maybe just who is leaving. but signing, no way

would be a great pickup. TL needs some good utility players. Guy is quite flexible and is much better than enzo/mistic.

Nats
Keiko
DaviH

is a really good core. TL is probably gonna spend big on the last 2 picks too

ofc EF is gonna get their deserved buyout. T2 need to stay afloat too

This guy is so good but he is a riens type player. People look at the flashy players like alexiik,xeus, sayonara or kaajak (who are insane, nothing against them) but ignore guys like Profek, Davih or Kadavra last year.

Guys like riens who just get consistent value every damn round. Guys like, trexx or chronicle they dont get enough respect until wayy late when people start looking at stat sheets on vlr and the be like "holy shit. this guy has absurd stats".

davih already top player at ascension last year. This year again made it through playins and is a top performer in ascension group stage so far. Yet i heear so little talk about him

Give these guys some attention. they deserve it. They dont get anywhere close to enough.

DaviH and Profek. Remember their names

I feel navi is perfect. but honestly wo0t surprised me by picking heretics so he could go anywhere really

he would be a fool. he can go to international LANs next year easily. why would he ever stay

unless the buyout is extremely unreasonable theres no way he stays in T2

literally best dueslit in T2 is "turbobad". Some people have brain disease

You aint peaking diamond buddy. LIE!

Good idea
