Did I cook?
Ivy has 1.00 😠and yes I watched several of their matches especially at EWC and Santiago why are people vouching for him like he's all at
Dambi is oversight on my part probably 10-15, maybe higher but Xross should've gotten that MVP at Santiago, I will stand by that
Xross is top-5 on here?, Ivy has a 1.00 on the year and Dambi is solid probably should be in at 10-15 range but Xross should've MVP so though it is officially his, I'm giving it to Xross
Probably should've put Valorant top-20 instead of VCT because I am including EWC, but Vora was incredible at EWC especially for IGL but across the whole year has been meh but Timo is 100 oversight on my part, adding him in
Most common picks just in terms of agents are Fade (20), Omen (20), Jett (19), Cypher (17) and Phoenix (13)
Is anyone aware of a stats site that allows you to search for agent pick rates and/or team comps by patch?
Any recommendations for Summit team comps and/or which agents to pick in each role, I've made a outline of agents I pick on each map which I compiled from agent pick rates at the pro level using rib.gg (who are down right now but love them because they are the only stats site to my knowledge that allows you to search pick rates by patch which is important because of the Neon nerfs) and all I need now is the agents for Summit, now for obviously reasons no professional matches have been played on Summit because the map came out yesterday, so I can't go off of what the pros play so I was wondering if there was any recommendations people had for what they pick or what they think would be best on the map.
Abyss: Cypher, Sova, Astra, Waylay, Kayo
Ascent: Cypher, Sova, Omen, Jett, Phoenix
Bind: Viper, Skye, Brimstone, Raze, Waylay
Breeze: Viper, Sova, Harbor, Jett, Kayo
Corrode: Viper, Fade, Omen, Waylay, Kayo
Fracture: Cypher, Fade, Brimstone, Raze, Breach
Haven: Cypher, Sova, Omen, Jett, Phoenix
Icebox: Killjoy, Sova, Viper, Jett, Sage
Lotus: Vyse, Fade, Omen, Raze, Viper
Pearl: Killjoy, Fade, Astra, Jett, Phoenix
Split: Viper, Skye, Omen, Jett, Raze
Sunset: Cypher, Sova, Omen, Raze, Sage
Summit: ...
(Note these comps were made post Neon nerfs, most stat sites will use the past 90 days format which will heavily contradict these but with the Neon nerfs teams have strayed far away from her)
Is anyone aware of a stats site for Valorant with stats like agent and team comp pick rates on different maps where you can search by time period/version
not that liquidpedia is the end all be all but they have it listed as an S-tier and at least in my expirence most people gripes are the format and whose hosting it rather than completely disregarding it
LoL has basically the same situation (any event that matters is hosted by riot) and at least in my experience LoL fandoms care roughly the same about EWC as an MSI
only 2 teams from each region had to play in a qualifier everyone else qualified through stage 1 and you got me on the second fair enough
from every other E-Sport I've ever followed an event with the top teams in the world qualified in the same way as other every events with even bigger prize pools would be considered an S-tier event but only in this community have a seen EWC be disregarded take it away and Pacific still has some catching up to do but yes EWC should be included here
With FNC, GMB and SEN all their finals were close but with NS it was 39-18 in comparison to 40-31 for FNC, 41-33 FOR GMB and 43-37 for SEN
This might have actually been the greatest run of all time
Xross was the highest rated player on the winning team and had the most insane finals performance I've ever seen
In terms of map W/L ReykjavÃk Sen but that was in the Valorant stone age
Tokyo FNC and Santiago NS only lost 1 map so probably NS not even joking
Were you watching The Letter Kei most recent video?
Why does Mada's profile picture on VLR look likes he's in dune?
Perhaps I was too quick to assume they would win this event obviously they can still win it but holy shit NS are insane
I should've changed my wording, I meant (2023 FNC is widely regarded currently as the best team if NRG b2b though it would be more impressive because it would have a champs win so I don't want them to
That isn't what I said, the back to back makes currently 2023 FNC the best team of all time, now FNC is also probably the greatest valorant organization, with 2 titles, tied most and 6 finals the most of any team but that wasn't my original claim whatsoever, if NRG b2b Paris and Santiago that is clearly better than Sao Paolo and Tokyo so I don't want them to
Both versions of their respective OTs make sense for each game, CS awps are WAY more common (it's a designated position) and with Valorant's OT economy you have to glass cannon which incentives you to not awp, so having that much money makes sense for CS and less so for Valorant also it makes OTs more nerve racking which is always great
The one thing I noticed was both teams went against the grain (which but FNC in the ass at champs) in 2023 the meta was perfected by loud with viper, harbor comps but FNC would run mostly double initiators comps whereas with NRG double duelist has been the meta and they have double scan initiator and combine the odin with it. Some of the best teams thus far in Valorant have been teams that went against the meta
If NRG B2B which is more impressive, them or FNC
Numbers:
FNC: 9-0 in matches (100%), 21-3 (~88%) in maps, 306-211 (~60%) in rounds in Lock-in Sao Paolo and Masters Tokyo
NRG: 10-1 (~91%) in matches thus far (12-1 (~92%) or 12-2 (~86%) assuming they win)
22-7 (~76%) in maps thus far, 357-288 (~55%) in rounds thus far in Champions Paris and Masters Santiago
Technically they still need to win it but I would be surprised if they don't at this point
Clearly FNC was more dominant but NRG would win more important events
Launders and Scrawny as well as the Vitality and Heroic lineups giving a moment of silence and paying their respects at the Blast Spring Final was very nice to see, Twisten's death hits VERY close to home for me and many others, forever in our hearts
Leo probably should be there now that I think about it, I though he missed too much of the year but it really wasn't that much overall especially when Trexx didn't play a whole lot of round more than him but put some respect on Trexx's name he was the 3rd highest rated player both overall and against top opponents
3 reasons:
KangKang had an incredible year and that champs final performance was insane but similar to NRG this past year they had 1 good tournament and that really isn't enough for me to give the spot to him
Ethan was clearly a better mechanical player and Boaster did lose to him at champs but wasn't really good enough across the whole season for me justify putting him above Boaster, we really only judge IGLs off of success and FNC had the most success overall so it felt justified in giving it to him but Ethan was really good last year
He has a solid argument because FNC was so good but Leaf was so much better individually, better both overall and against opponents with 2000+ rating (top teams) and G2 wasn't that much worse than FNC across the whole year
I more so put those players there because they were great individual players not because of G2's success though they were great last year
It's sad to see just how far EMEA has fallen, they haven't won a VCT trophy in 2 years, it's not to say they aren't competitive, they have made VCT 4 finals in that span and won EWC with both finalists being from EMEA but EWC is widely regarded as a step below a Masters let alone champs which they have NEVER won, all time EMEA is 2 behind Americas but right now they are 3rd behind Americas and Pacific
It's like FIFA but Valorant, IGL will be a separate role
2021: Sentinel: NAts (1.15) 1x Masters champ, 2x finals, Initiator: Sacy (1.28), Duelist: CNed (1.28), 1x Champions winner, Controller: Marved 1x final, (1.03)(weren't many great options), Flex: Shao (1.29), IGL: Redgar (.89) 1x Masters champ, 2x finals
2022: Sentinel: Yay (1.22) 1x champ, 2x final, 3x Top-3, Initiator: Leo (1.23), Duelist: Aspas (1.20), 1x Champions winner, 2x final, Controller: Mako (1.21) 1x Top-3, Flex: Shao (1.17) 1x Masters champ, IGL: FNS (0.83), 1x champ, 2x final, 3x Top-3
2023: Sentinel: Alfajer (1.21) 2x Masters champ, Initiator: Leo (1.25), 2x Masters champ, Duelist: Demon1 (1.15 rating) 1x Champs winner, 2x final (VERY close between him and Aspas), Controller: Mako (1.16) 1x 3-4th Flex: Chronicle: (1.11) 2x Masters champ IGL: Boaster: (.97) 2x Masters champ
2024: Sentinel: Chichoo (1.11) 1x Champs winner, 3x China champ, Initiator: Leo (1.19) 1x EMEA champ, Duelist: Aspas (1.26) 1x Americas Champ, 1x Top-3, Controller: Karon (1.10), 1x Masters champ, 2x finals, 2x Pacific champ, Flex: Chronicle (1.15), 2x EMEA Champ, IGL: Munchkin (1.05) 1x Masters champ, 2x finals, 2x Pacific champ
2025: Sentinel: Leaf (1.12) 1x final, 3x Americas champ, Initiator: Trent (1.16), 1x final, 3x Americas champ, Duelist: Kajaak (1.13) 3x finals, 1x EMEA champ, Controller: Valyn (1.06) 1x final, 3x Americas champ, Flex: Brawk (1.11) 1x Champs winner, IGL: Boaster (.86), 3x finals, 1x EMEA champ
Stats: Shao, Aspas, Leo, Mako, Chronicle, made it twice for individual performance and Boaster made it twice as an IGL (Shao and Mako are really underrated)
I wonder why you like this prediction so much
I don't know, that's probably the case, i would still say G2 wins and BBL wins, i will change that
Playoffs:
FUR-G2 - G2-NRG - NRG-PRX - NRG-G2
AG-NRG - BBL-PRX
BBL-T1 -
NS-PRX -
FUR-AG - NS-G2 - G2-BBL - G2-PRX
T1-NS - FUR-BBL
Groups:
(2-0) NRG, G2
(2-1) PRX, T1
(1-2) M8, TL
(0-2) XLG, EDG
1st: NRG
2nd: G2
3rd: PRX
4th: BBL
5-6th: FUR-NS
7-8th: AG-T1
9-10th: M8, TL
11-12th: XLG, EDG
Bold means team won
I want to use this ideology but in practice, it doesn't work like that, for example Chronicle in EWC, he was individually so far ahead of everyone at the event and the only person who had a legitimate argument for MVP other than him was Wo0t, whom Chronicle a .08 rating and .21 KD better than, which is an enormous gap and in the final which couldn't have been closer literally Chronicle wildly out performed him, I think it is unfair, the MVP is an individual award, I didn't want to take away from the fact that winning matters so the majority of all winners (12/16) but certain cases where a player had a great run to the final and that final was close and they were clearly the best player I gave it to them
both have solid arguments, I could totally see both sides considering NAts won the event and played crazy and certainly is deserving, my thought process was final was close, far closer than that 3-0, it does NOT do that final justice, map 1 could've gone either way EASILY, NV should've won map 2 but threw on CT side and map 3 was somewhat close and frankly throughout the whole event Yay was just a step ahead of everyone and making the final was good enough for me to give it to him
if you read my response whatsoever you have said otherwise, I have a feeling you were going to say that no matter what I type because you feel your right and I'm wrong and no one will convince you otherwise or your just rage baiting either way there is no point in continuing this conversation
that's not how this works, this is an MVP FOR MADRID, I don't care if someone is better than John at every event for the year except Madrid because the only thing that matters for an MVP at Madrid IS HIS STATS AT MADRID, also if it was just about stats then it would be Zekken but because value is not JUST stats John gets it
For Bangkok I think though Izu was really good but with just how close that final was and Frankly Trent was clearly the best player at the event, especially when we take away the Swiss-stage, Trent really separates from everyone else so for me I thought it was Trent but Izu was also quite deserving
I'm not saying Zekken wasn't the best player at that time, at all other events it really wasn't close Zekken was miles ahead of John but just for that event because the number were close and John was IGLing I think its fair he gets it
