Idk where the hate for bang comes, bang last year had better stats against better competition than Zander, Vic and Skuba. Before anyone says anything, those three had good teams, and they performed well but Bang has more experience and legit just played better.

Now could they perform better than him next year, sure, but based on data from last year, Bang is a better pick-up. Their all time stats are different sure, but society is based on what you have done recently not in the distant past lol.

Bang stats:

Bang statistically was one of the best smoke players in the world and the best in NA. Obvs 100 rounds is small sample size but still he played really good. I was sorta surprised myself but he is legit

During the whole Val champs

If we look at the 2024 season, he had some of the best stats in the world on Omen. He is good, just needs a better team

i agree sen were lazy with this one lol

thought i was gonna get rick rolled again but nice. Tho i thought the announcement would a little more hype, still classic sen

im most interested in who they sign to coach with Kap tbh

bro when did I imply he was the main reason G2 would default? I think regardless of which deulist they got (I.e they cant pickup a T1 talent cause its the middle of the season) they would have had the same playstyle.

if you add a dynamic player with Jawg and you keep the same one slow playstyle it will hinder his potential IMO. They gotta expand their horizon.

maybe im crazy but I always thought they were a boring team to watch when compared to like every other T1 team that were good but I think Jawg will allow them to play a bit more free which should be fun to watch. I hope they don't stick to the boring play style and adapt a bit to jawgs play style.

I do not know how you do this UNLESS you know you can sign significantly better players (unlikely) or there was problems in the team that we don't know about. Cause they were so good man, I think they probs go back to champs pretty easily in APAC and this change could sorta screw them unless their new signs are insane.

is that guy good and is it confirmed that he is on the team? idk much about EU teams

https://x.com/ValorINTEL/status/1842671682932126097 is the tweet about it.

Apparently, they have reached an agreement. Is VItality now forming a super team also has the full team been made? I know it sayf, less and derke, but who are the other two?

kru

I would say power rankings so far should have G2, NRG, Sen and 100T in the top 5? Idk hard to look at brazil cause i don't think many teams are finalized.

bro diffs me in game and irl too smh

Sorta surpised that hes back but I don't think we can comment on his Tweets anymore, sorta happy and I hope everything goes well this time.

What are your opinions

Why did no org in North America grab Less? If he is going to EU he will have to speak English anyways. Considering that Sacy had a good time at Sen, him going to Sen or any Org in NA would have been great.

On a real note, having star players like Less and Saddak leave NA is not good for NA valorant cause we need to keep talent.

Also imagine Less on Sen, a trio of Zekken, Narrate and Less would feed families.

i assume they cut him. I am assuming he got offers from EMEA or another region but why move when you could join sen.

even if he baits, you cant be that consistent for this long without being great. Also, he would instantly make any team better by replacing the main deulist on every single team besides maybe a couple.

Derke, KangKang, Zekken, texture and some other people are the exception. But basically every other team only gets better. Imagine if NRG, FNATIC now, PRX, or even G2 got him. They would be insane.

if he doesnt sign with any T2 team, him signing as a content creator is smart. He gets income, can stream, build his brand and name. He would arguably be a more valuable signing under Sen when his legit contract comes up.

If he doesn't sign with Sen later, he would get a nice source of income while he does not compete.

I mean realistically its not a bad thing for Bang. 1. Sen is usually honest so id assume they tell him that they plan to sign reduxx and

2. he can raise his brand, image and name playing on Sen. His streams will be bigger, he will make more and his stock should rise this year. He could realistically sign with a lot of T1 teams as long as he does not sh1t the bed. If sen make any tourney, his stocks rise A LOT.

Is reduxx on an actual team (so on a loan?), if he is a free agent then Sen should sign him as a content creator till he becomes 18. idk if they can have him as a 6th man cause he's 17 so you sign him to sen no matter what and have first dibbs on him for the next season. Aint no way you let bro walk, he is just too good.

If he does not play on a T2 team, him signing a 1-2 year content deal would make it so that he still gets income from Sen and then can rework his contract when they sign him. Gives him the incentive to sign with Sen cause they took care of him and Sen gets first dibbs.

Let me cook.

Hate them all you want but Val feels better when Sen is winning. Also their games are cinema, they are never boring. Game play bad = still fun, game play good = still great, game play mid = fun watching them lose first half then comeback second half tbh. Really only a good time.

assuming they get narrate to replace Sacy. Then you probs pick up Skuba or someone like V1c. Zander is good too. Id happy with either of these three tbh.

fr id get read to learn chinese if that meant I can play with Kang Kang. Ardiis will join EDG as a 6th book it.

I believe this is the day that mass free agent signing can take place.

give me your craziest signing or roster that people will not be ready for.

Also, do you think Gen.G or PRX make moves or stay the same? I could see some crazy moves for these two teams tbh.

Since I am a delusional Sen Fan I think Aspas + Narrate will sign with Sen. More realistic is like Jawg or some some player.

What is so bad about Sen Fans? I think every single fan base has bad fans. I fee like any large fan base automatically gets labelled as bad.

getting exposed was fine but I don't think he necessarily deserves the amount of hate he received. I sorta treated his posts as just a "What if" type of situation. He admitted that he was wrong and then said he would be diligent in the future. I think he's a younger kid (could be wrong tho), so mistakes like this can happen. I hope he's doing better but the internet weirdos that send death threats or doxx people need to see a therapist.

Anyway, I sort of hope he comes back but it's unlikely. Regardless I feel sorta sad for him.

Do mine good sir.

TBH if M80 lose I just drop everyone besides Oxy and pickup those guys. Not everyone no that team will get signed to a good T1 team and I would assume that they would prefer c9 over EG. Could just sign a lot of T2 talent for cheap and build a good squad.

If the saddak news is legit (which it should be), then its confirmed that Narrate is leaving and most likely going to Sen or another org. I think you can only have 1 import player so Narrate and Saddak could not play on the same team in EU. I could be wrong so someone correct me, but unless something crazy happens I'm expecting Sen Narrate. Idk who the new coach or 5th will be but Jawg or Zander (if M80 lose) would be nice pickups.

God gave me a vision a few months ago that jawg and narrate will join Sen. Now i got a vision that Potter will sign with them too. Save this post because when it happens You guys can say truly say "it was predictable".

End posts. Seems crazy now ik, but it will happen.

sen getting jawg and narrate and probs potter too. Mark my words this is their pickups.

I agree, if he was open and said this is based on loose sources so take it with a grain of salt from the start. You could sorta move past it but bro was sorta too confident while getting bad sources lol. Regadless, I don't mind cause i find his NA sheets sorta interesting when I am bored.

I think SEN would only remove him if he chose to retire or move to the bench. If his performance decreased on Omen he would switch agents to something new. If that kept failing then I could see a self-bench but otherwise, I don't see it happening.

its the off season, sen fans got nothing better than the forums tbh

bro suggested someone who aint even competing. all good. Tho he would be a good fit.

Yeh probs wont happen. But its between NRG and Sen. I think if Sen sign narrate or verno, and I think Sen would be the best team she could compete with. Also realistically It would be easier to come onto a team with already established plays then go onto NRG which is essentially rebuilding.

She would have had to start from scratch 3 times if you count old EG, new EG and then if she were to go to NRG. Sen would a smoother transition IMO.

people say I wouldnt marry a super model either.. hasn't happened yet but ill happen eventually. Maybe not now but in the future for sure.

Ill put in a word for potter, dw.

thats why i stay in the kitchen, i am not a forum cooker. my curry will make you experience true pleasure.

who do you think they sign with Kap. Cook for me.

Feel bad for Drew but now Potter can come in, probs not as an assistant but co-coach or something with Kap. You throw the bag at potter cause she can replace Kap if needed, also imagine what she could do with a competent org (at least more than EG LOL). I will be content if Jawg comes (which I don't see) or they land narrate.

-Though they could also land Chet or someone. Anyways who do you think they sign to coach with Kap.

1. Honest questions, I have seen many EU SEN fans. How come you guys are a fan of sen and not FNATIC?
2. What caused you to wakeup from your delusion and realize that SEN is the superior ream

woah this was a great call. Right maps, slightly off on who chose but this was great.

to be fair, G2 has always had a boring playstyle so this did not change much.

to be fair DRX chronically finish like 4th in events so I don't see them winning. I want sen to win but I want it to be close.

have noticed that too but he secures kills in most situations with body shots which is more important than getting a cool one tap.

I am 100% biased, but im man enough to admit it.
