You really can't say this version is worse when 100T doesn't even have a 5th yet. "Going to EU to pick up a t2 IGL because you don’t want to pay money is an L." Bro tf do you mean? Because they're not gonna spend a shit ton of money and overpay for someone on another top team, it's an L? That's an L take right there. Besides maybe Zander, ec1s was the best option available so it's not like 100T had much of a choice.

I mean George Geddes said "cNed deal did not come to fruition" so he's out of the question. I think that it might be pAura cause he can fill in as the team's sentinel main and he posted on his story yesterday that he was on a plane to NA.

You say this as if 100T chose to let go of nitr0... He just left and who else would be an upgrade over nitr0 that wouldn't be insanely expensive? Outside of like Dephh, vanity and Redgar there are not really any upgrades over nitr0 that can IGL and play smokes and the 3 guys I named are super expensive and definitely aren't going to leave their teams. I'll take a pretty good, experienced IGL from EU any day of the week so idk why everyone is shitting on 100T for this move.

Kinda odd how pAura put on his IG story earlier him on a plane and said he was on his way to NA and now Purest tweets this... I mean this could just be a huge coincidence but I doubt it.

Yeah but still 88k is very cheap comparatively and is still a better deal even after you consider the streaming numbers TenZ pulls in. I'm not saying that the TenZ deal was bad but 88k doesn't seem like a bad deal at all for a player as good as mwzera and I'm pretty sure mwzera gets a good amount of viewers on his streams too. Either way it's a good deal in my eyes.

I mean if TenZ's buyout was like a million or whatever it was, so this is a much better deal. About 8.8% of the cost for a player who is definitely more than 8.8% the player TenZ is. He's probably going to be the 2nd best initiator in Brazil for 2022, only behind Sacy so it is definitely worth it. I mean in his first tournament with VK they almost beat Acend and probably would've if they didn't use that cam so they definitely have potential to compete internationally with mwzera.

So what would you think about someone like Crimsix(from COD) or Turbopulsa(from RL) who win all the time despite not putting up the best numbers or looking like the best players on their teams? What about the guys who are just winners? The goal of competitive games is to win so how does winning not represent skill. I'm not saying that winning is the only thing that determines if a player is good or not but it's a pretty big factor. Because at the end of the day, having the best aim or best utility doesn't necessarily mean you're going to win and winning is the only thing that matters in this game.

How is Lakia overrated when literally everyone says he's shit cause of Berlin and all that? Also rb isn't even a top 2 initiator on his team, let alone all of APAC. I'll gladly take stax, Lakia, Laz, Esperanza and other guys over rb on initiator any day of the week.

Cned: Properly
Yay: Properly
Wardell: Properly(Only because half of the people overrate him and the other half underrate him)
Roza: Overrated
Mwzera: Overrated by Brazilians, underrated by everyone else
Heat: Properly
Starxo: Properly
Zeek: A bit overrated rn cause of Champs
Keloqs: Overrated
Lakia: Underrated cause of Berlin
Rb: Properly
Nats: Properly
Chronicle: Properly

No yeah, I realized that which is why I moved yay to 6 and put zeek at 14 earlier cause every time someone would argue for zeek I realized that he should be on the list and also it's hypocritical to put yay at 2 when zeek is off of the list for his time on G2 so I moved yay to 6th cause he still dominated and was an insane player in 2021 and zeek to 14 cause of his accomplishments and individual skill while also being a great sova/kayo player(as well as raze and reyna).

1st off I changed the list after thinking about it some more and now yay is at 6th and zeek is 14th. Secondly, yay was actually shitting on the rest of NA while on Andbox, even though he wasn't winning and then he joined Envy and took them from a team who couldn't get to the finals of NA events into a team who got to the finals at Berlin. Also saying zeek has shown more results individually is the most braindead thing I've heard. yay completely dominated NA in every tournament he played in, the best teams in the world at Berlin and he still played amazing at Champs even though his team lost and his teammate had covid. Outside of maybe Champs, zeek's individual achievements are puny compared to el diablo's and even in Champs, yay put up better numbers(doesn't mean he played better) and played great.

oops

Wasn't LOL always the most-watched game? I thought GTA was just for this year cause of all the rp shit and all that

cis: nAts
Japan: Laz
LATAM: keznit
sea: f0rsaken cause Patiphan is now an OWL player
NA: yay

After finalizing the list with the addition of zeek, here are some stats about the list:
Players by region:
EMEA: 8/20(40%)
NA: 8/20(40%)
SAM: 3/20(15%)
APAC: 1/20(5%)
Players by role:
Main Duelist: 9/20(45%)
Initiator: 5/20(25%)
Sentinel: 2/20(10%)
Smokes: 2/20(10%)
Flex: 2/20(10%)
Teams with the most players:

1. Sentinels: 4/20(20%)
2. Gambit: 3/20(15%)
3. Acend: 2/20(10%)
4. Envy: 2/20(10%)
5. 100 Thieves: 2/20(10%)

So in your eyes, Derke and keloqz are top 10 players?

I mean Derke did absolutely nothing online though to warrant being a top 20 player. Asuna dominated all year long online and he played great at the 1 LAN he played at too. Not as good as Derke played at Champs but still, Asuna played better throughout the entire year.

Zeek is really tough because he didn't really fit in with G2 and for half of the year he certainly wasn't a top 20 player but after joining Acend, Zeek has played great and he obviously played great at Berlin and Champs so I didn't really know what to do with him. He is a top 10 player in the world right now but Idk.

I switched it but not because of this. Idk why I put him at 2 for the entire year but he's still up there.

I said top 3, not number 3. I'll tell you now he's definitely not number 3

"being good on LAN wasn't a huge factor"
Derke didn't really play like a top 20 player the rest of the year and being good on LAN isn't a huge factor but he does get on the list cause he played fantastic at both Reykjavik and Champs and he played good enough for the rest of the year. Jamppi did nothing to warrant being a top 20 player until October at LCQ and this is for the entire year. Sure, he's a top 20 player right now but wasn't for the entire year. As for Deffo, he didn't play good enough to justify him being put over guys like Patiphan or keznit even though he won a lot.

For the entire year of 2021 they were not top 20 players. Zeek, Leaf, and Jamppi are now but not for the entire year. Leaf didn't really start playing like a superstar until the new C9 roster with Vanity and with him being on Jett, even though he was a great player, especially on raze before, he didn't do anything up until August to warrant being in the top 20. Jamppi was terrible at Reykjavik and up until EMEA Last Chance in October, he played well but was nowhere close to being a top 20 player. Again, he's a top 20 player right now but he wasn't a top 20 player for the year of 2021. Zeek is the trickiest one of the 4. Maybe he deserves to be on their, but for half of the year, when he was on G2, he didn't play good enough to warrant being on there but he did play great at Masters Berlin and Champs and he won Champs so he is definitely a tricky one but I kept him off cause he only played like a top 20 player for half of the year and not the whole year. Deffo just isn't a good enough player imo. Sure he's won a lot but I just don't think he deserves a spot over some of the other duelists like Patiphan, keznit and Derke just because he's won a lot.

I mean yeah but also this is for the entirety of 2021 not for right now. Sen has always had the talent and yet they struggled at Berlin and Champs and teams like SMB and NRG also struggle despite being very talented so it's not just about how skilled the players are. I doubt Sen will be able to dominate like they did for the majority of 2021 in 2022 so I would say the future is actually dim compared to what they've already done.

I mean yeah why would he have Xset on his title before they announce him? Also Dephh doesn't make the moves for Xset so idk. Purest and George are rarely ever wrong so again idk

Imagine having a phone number

Damn man so if a murderer says he didn't do it, I guess he didn't do it

• Envy
• Liquid
• Zeta Division
• Liquid
• Xset
• Sentinels
• KRU
• LOUD
• APAC/BR
• LATAM
• Cryocells
• leaf
• Acend will not make Champs in 2022

Note: This list takes into consideration roles and how good their team has done. Also, it is for the entire year, not just recent events, and being good on LAN wasn't a huge factor(i.e. I'm not gonna put keloqz on there just cause he played great at Berlin)

1. cNed: cNed has consistently been one of the top duelists in the world, specifically on Jett, and is undeniably the best awper in the world. However, he's also a good rifler and won Champs, as well as multiple EMEA events, including Masters 1.
2. nAts: nAts is just a freak. The things that he does as a sentinel main is outstanding and unheard of. He is an extremely smart player with great aim and he is a phenomenal lurker and site anchor. To add to his individual skill, he also won Masters Berlin and came 1 map away from winning Champs.
3. TenZ: Despite a bad showing at Champs, TenZ was a top 5 player this year. He dominated the rest of NA throughout the entire year, dominated some of the best teams in the world at Masters Reykjavik and Berlin, and won Masters Reykjavik(alongside pretty much every NA tournament this year).
4. ShahZaM: No other team has consistently found as much success while having an IGL as skilled as ShahZaM anywhere in the world, throughout the year. Sentinels have dominated NA for the large majority of this year, won Masters Reykjavik, and were only 1 of 3 teams to make Masters Reykjavik, Berlin, and Champs. They did all of this without a coach for most of the year. There's no one else to attribute this consistent success to than the IGL who also had to fill the role that a coach normally would. Shahz also has done great despite swapping roles from Jett to Sova/breach.
5. ScreaM: ScreaM is one of the most consistent players in the world and is a top 3 rifler in the world. Not only has he proved his skill against EMEA, but he has also shown it against the rest of the world at Reykjavik and Champs.
6. yay: yay has dominated NA all year and, after he was acquired by Envy, dominated the best teams in the world at Masters Berlin. yay turned an Envy team known for finishing 3rd and 4th in pretty much every NA event into a team that made it to the finals at Masters Berlin. Not only is he one of the best Jett players in the world, but he is also a great rifler and a great awper.

Edit: Yay #2->#6
2nd Edit: zeek -> #14: The more I've thought about zeek, the more I've realized that I have just overlooked how great he has played, the role he's done it on and the success he has had. When making the list I counted him out because of his time on G2 but the more I've thought about it, zeek just didn't fit into G2 and he still put up good numbers there. He also was one of the best players at both Masters Berlin and Champs while mostly playing Sova and kayo. If this were a list for the best players of the 2nd half of 2021, honestly zeek would probably even be above crashies but because of his time on G2, I'm only going to put him at 14.

I thought it was a social security number...

443-323-8492

I mean they lost cause TenZ just played like shit. That's not gonna happen against NA teams. They won every NA challengers event they were in except for Stage 1 Challengers 2, where they finished 2nd behind Envy and Stage 2 Challengers 1, where they got upset by BBG. They also won Masters 1 and Reykjavik so I don't see why they would come back from Berlin and Champs and start struggling. Even after they lost sinatraa, they bounced back and won. Even after they got upset by BBG, they bounced back and won. I really doubt 2022 will be much different(except I think Envy will win just as much, if not more than Sen and other teams should be more competitive). I think C9 will compete with Sen but doubting Sen will be able to beat C9 is just ridiculous.

They've all been streaming a shit ton since Valorant came out and they've always(except for at the very start) dominated NA or at least have been a top 3 team so I doubt that they're gonna randomly struggle because of it next year.

100% Asuna. He's not the best player in the world or anything but he has the sharpest flicks in the world

S: Ascent, Haven
A: Split
B: Breeze, Fracture, Icebox
C: Bind

Asuna -> P1

Funny how every year is "Brazil's year". But yeah Brazil should compete better internationally with VK and LOUD.

Oh yeah just like how he choked at Reykjavik and Berlin right?

Bad argument since Sen only looked like shit cause TenZ had the worst tournament of his life which won't happen again, especially against NA teams, Victor got covid and you already know it sucked for him to even play during Champs and 100T is also going to have a new roster(although I get why you say 100t looks like shit rn). TSM has a good roster and all but I doubt they're gonna be able to get past Sen, Envy, C9B, Xset, Rise and 100T if they make some good pickups. Even Gen.G and V1 are looking good rn so I really doubt TSM is gonna make any Masters event.

EU_quiet said it first: any duelist would outperform cNed and be the best player on the best team during Champions, even while playing kayo. Which is kinda weird cause most of the other best duelist players in the world were at Champs and they all didn't win. Zeek is the best kayo player and one of the best riflers in the world and a Champion so he deserves all of the hype he gets.

Who was I calling bad during champs? Since Berlin, I've said yay is a top 2 player in the world and I don't think I've ever said shit about zeek so idk what you're talking about.

How are yay and Zeek overrated? Yay has constantly shit on all of NA, then shit on everyone else at Berlin, and was great at Champs. Envy losing had nothing to do with how good of a player yay is. In fact, it didn't really have to do with how good any of the Envy players were. They lost mostly because Victor got Covid. Zeek on the other hand just won Champs and was the best performing Acend player at Champs so idk how you can call him overrated. I can at least understand why the rest are on this list(even though half of them shouldn't) but there's no reason to put yay or zeek on this list.

100% ScreaM

Who tf cares about how tall you are. There's 0 reason to not feel confident when meeting people. Do you think people aren't going to like you just cause of your height or something? Because that's a braindead thought and even if someone didn't like you cause of your height, they're not a real one anyway. The only downside to being short is not being able to reach shit but that's nothing to be insecure about. If you wanna deal with your insecurity about height, you just need to accept that you are short and that you can't change it and move on.

Please papa Enigma

But they already got their 5th with xms iirc

I'm saying if cNed decides to leave, although it's unlikely.

Idk why I haven't seen more people talking about where doma will end up but I guess I'll bring it up now. I honestly don't know where he will go other than Giants or Acend if cNed leaves. Giants are down to just Fit1nho and if cNed leaves Acend, starxo will probably be the jett main for the team and doma could easily fill starxo's current role. But then again idk nearly as much about EU as I do about NA.

russ or Ambi or some EU tier 2 player
