People saying he had a weak mental, but now he's replaying the team that he said he had the most trouble with and is absolutely topping the leaderboard in this series. Can't deny how much he has grown throughout this year and it's just Stage 1. Even if Sen as a team can still be very inconsistent, you can't deny that N4RRATE was a good pick up
You realize Loud lost to 2G 2-0 BEFORE Luk xo joined the team, who is quite literally elevating the shit out of this team rn
Bro really put DRX and Boom above T1 just cause of a single map
Y'all forget that The Guard core was pretty solid to the point of 13-1ing Sentinels (even if 22 was one of Sen's worst years) at one point in their first year in Challengers as a team. Now they've just got the best iteration of the team and it's really showing
I mean sure but I wasn't really comparing the teams tho, just mentioning that DRX isn't the only one changing it up here
Dude get off them, you've literally made two posts about the same thing now, and if it wasn't obvious enough, why else wouldn't termi put Flashback to play duelist here when he's been so successful with him lately? They're experimenting they've already qualified for playoffs, both of these teams
I have no idea what your point is by saying this
Both teams are literally experimenting dawg, it's not just DRX, calm your tits. So far in Stage 1 Famouz would only be playing Phoenix on Ascent and he absolutely cooked paper rex with him, but here he's playing Yoru
Bro why does kd matter for aim? You can have some of the worst aimers top fragging too, just look at Boaster rn, by far the weakest mechanical player on his team but is carrying in KD.
The ult is fine, it's got the same width as the common chokes, I don't think it's wider than any other abilities that use the same aoe range. The missiles and drone are really his two problems, drone can easily just be nerfed with timer being similar to sova drone, you don't need to remove the jump otherwise it actually won't go through vertical obstacles which all of the other "drone-like abilities" can go through and defeats the purpose of a drone finding information if it can't actually go through something. The rockets on the other hand, imo single-use round abilities don't make sense, but since it's 2 mollies, just increase its cooldown to a minute and slow down the rocket travel speed (and make enemies see their landing zones much earlier) so it's MUCH harder to use since you need to time it properly and enemies can see where it's going from a mile away.
Tejo's main problem is that his missiles are so easy to use AND is also effective, so they need to make that more difficult somehow
Getting kills at all sorts of off-angles and getting out is what Chamber excelled at. Also completely dangerous on eco rounds with the headhunter. I already know what you're trying to say but Chamber is a completely different case. His tp doesn't come with a timer, he can set it up in the beginning of the round, forget about it, and tp anytime he wants to, and he doesn't even need to get kills to be able to tp again later in the round. What made him overpowered as well was because of how easy he was to use and abuse that tp and it's range. He was so easy to use that he didn't even need teammates, which is what Waylay is heavily dependent on. Waylay on the other hand cannot do that. You have to actually think of where to position before you entry somewhere, and because she's a dive agent, your dash HAS to get value, whether it be contesting space long enough on an objective for your team to come in (very unlikely) or getting a kill and getting out, which again is a 50/50 chance like any other gunfight. If anything the safer play and what I think most people will be doing with her is dashing onto site and baiting util THEN getting out, but because you miss out on a potential pick, it's really important to have a secondary dive duelist or initiator heavy util for a site re-hit. I can see the tp being used more to get info rather than an entry and get out of jail free-card in most cases
Her entry fragging power is not risk-free at all, if anything if we're talking about who has an easier time contesting space in a site, it's still going to be Jett with her dash+smoke cover and stall long enough until her teammates can make it through to trade her if she dies. If there's 2 (or even just 1 really) players on a site and Waylay dashes in, the more likely scenario that happens is that either she dies because she's completely exposed, or she goes back to her phoenix anchor thing without getting a pick (any damage she takes will stay so that's also a risk for a re-entry), because she's still completely visible to the enemies, unless you hit someone with her hindering ability otherwise that is still going to be a 50/50 gunfight. She definitely has her defined weaknesses even with her strong abilities, and like I mentioned before, once you take site, she's basically completely left with almost nothing in the post-plant if you're not thirsting for kills or if enemies are close and are flooding. Her signature ability isn't really made for that, but it does have the potential to bait ults like a raze rocket or bait for your team, similar to tp agents like yoru and chamber in that regard.
On it's own, no (it also slows gun fire rate heavily), but who retakes/attacks sites with a single ult? Of course that's going to be paired with util, her ult is very similar to how breach ult works for the enemy, and this is a duelist we're talking about here

Nah, the most depressing loss was Sen, they didn't look like themselves and were the team that bombed out even worse than Trace did just from that bind map alone, and the TenZ watch party made it hard to watch
Salvos should only be able to break weak util not ultimates, agreed
It's only a matter of time before G2 win now, and you should know that the most, imo this is the best this roster's looked so it really is only a matter of time. Just this time in particular, T1 had just as much to prove with trophies hiding from BuZz and Stax for the LONGEST time now.
They'll bounce back soon
He currently is the goat of Korea, put into perspective, bro's holding the only two trophies that APAC has
THAT'S RIGHT SYLVAN IS HIM HE GOT OFF THE BENCH AND DECIDED IT WAS TIME
Good chance until he gets nerfed to shreds. He used to be a sentinel main but Flashback's on that role in DRX atm, and unless Flashback doesn't improve or something for the rest of the season, I think he'll be playing initiator type roles with BeYN or something or maybe the rare double sentinel comps
It went 5 maps, G2 had Map veto advantage, everyone rated T1 as dead last or second to dead last and G2 Top 2 at the VERY LEAST. T1 is the better team, they had the better mental and pulled through with the odds against them, that's how they won so many of those impossible thrifty and low buy rounds. Mental is the most important aspect of a BO5 especially for the lower bracket team. They deserved it
Go take a break honestly or a walk or something man, you're just throwing a tantrum atp
Brother I genuinely can't tell if you're being serious at all here, every team that has made grand finals from upper bracket can only lose once, that's exactly why they have map veto advantage in a BO5, this isn't just a G2 thing it's happened to all of the teams that made it to the grand finals in the upper bracket, don't even start to make it a discussion about this, it's how it's been since forever
Yeah and it's crazy to think that people still fat shame him and call him ugly, then they'll argue they didn't know about this but you shouldn't be fucking fat shaming or appearance shaming anybody in the first place. This guy's mental is absurdly high to be able to fry and keep smiling even during the harder rounds, all that with this behind his back. He'll definitely win a trophy soon.
RIP Leaf's mom
Yes it's single use but even if you frag you don't get it back like Jett (her dash is a buyable), so she won't be zipping across t spawn to ct spawn like neon can or dash around sites and what not like Jett if she gets kills, the only thing you get back is the phoenix ult like thing, which imo isn't a good ability outside of entry on offense, or retake on defense, or any scenarios where close range gunfight scenarios happen. She's definitely leaning more towards Yoru in terms of shining with teammates and their util
The dash is a single use per round, don't forget. I thought it was a broken ability too until I realized that, and the "dismiss" ability is more like a weaker Phoenix ult where it's got a specific spot she returns to when pressed. Neon run+slide is still the more annoying ability imo if we're talking about stupid move abilities, I ain't saying she's not going to be OP but I'd rather talk about the new debuff riot added to her, hindered. Like the only difference between this new debuff and Stunned is that it doesn't give you a drunken screen and also makes you fall slower it looks like? and also lasts so damn long. She's an initiator duelist hybrid, that ult is absurd for retakes and attacking site
I mean they put up a good show, even if people rate em low, that's all based on stats, WHICH GOES TO SHOW STATS DON'T MEAN CRAP IT'S THE MENTAL BABY T1 WANTED IT MORE AND IT PAID OFF
Meteor ain't outfragging the reigning duelists, but he genuinely looks like he has the strongest mental out of anybody I've ever seen touch this game, so when he's alive you can never count him out at all, and also the most versatile player out of the GOAT conversations, plays high action roles like the duelist and plays the slow action roles like the sentinels/viper. This guy's actually built different
valyn's still NA's best igl, he'll pull through soon enough
Karon is still up there ngl, but with what Meteor has achieved and how he's stayed stone cold no matter the pressure, he definitely is
They all went negative but they all showed up today
GG wp, G2 still looking like a level above the other Americas teams so you can bank on them qualifying again
tf you mean Split (4th) was also peak, the games just got better as the match got longer
I hope riot fines you
Champs Seoul 2024 Grand Finals, Masters Bangkok 2025 Grand finals right after?? We are being spoiled like hell with these matches. Absolutely banger, and well played to both teams. I was at the edge of my seat the entire damn time. I cannot handle those impossible thrifties T1 pulled out of their ass, this is peak valorant right here
What is bro yapping about, G2 had map veto advantage went 2:0 against everyone they played against playoffs before the grandfinals, there's no way they were disadvantaged LOL. G2 played well, T1 played better, accept this fact

I know there's a lot of debate of Carpe/Sylvan and some people saying it's just T1 improving in general. That's true, but the nerves this fucking guy has, they only lost to EDG in this tournament. HE LITERALLY JUST GOT OFF THE BENCH IN THIS EVENT HE DID NOT WAVER HE WANTED IT MORE THAN ANYONE HE'S HIM
