the latam south team cant travel anywhere, according to chile's travel restrictions, which is why the north team is being sent.

ok well to answer your entire question, latin america is the countries that speak spanish. the united states, canada, and brazil do not speak spanish.

mexico competes in latam because of language/comms

there shouldve been 16 teams for iceland. but theres only 10, which makes a lot of controversy about numbers of slots.

i think sinatraa is better than tenz on sentinels. tenz is pretty one dimensional. He's still a great player, don't get me wrong, but he only brings reyna and jett to the table, and a lot of his plays are questionable

hey guys we know it took long and he wasn't performing the best, but theres no reason to make fun of him or be toxic, he was on the best team in north america at one point, and was a big point to winning rounds too. he deserves way better, love for all the bros sticking up for him

I wasn't surprised about Crazy Raccoon and NUTURN. Also, in LATAM I think Infinity may directly qualify for Iceland, because 3 of KRU Esports' players cannot travel to Iceland because of COVID restrictions, so it might be a forfeit win for Infinity Esports. As for Brazil, I would like to see how GL vs Sharks goes, because I think that determines if GL make it to Iceland or not.

valorant is limited in china because its communist

#wearezellsis

where are u getting this from?
effys has played for t1 teams, and is currently qualified for the first international tournament for a reason.
roca has played on a tier 2 team, got dropped, and no one bothered to pick him up, there are reasons for that

hes a cringe baiter lmao

if kills dont mean anything... why pick up roca? the only thing he brings is better aim

team inconsistencies, phoenix falling out of the meta, cutler being dogshit at sova

we dont know how the slotting should work, and generally na brings the more fans than these regions, which is why they have more slots, so i dont think it is fair to say this

i am rooting for furia and vks to make it both to iceland but i really want to see mwzera against international teams so ill be happy any way really 😃

i think

1/18 murizzz...

Meiy for Japan, Patiphan for SEA, Lakia in KR, nAts for CIS, and I think Turko could stay for Turkey

latam north has mexican players, while latam south has argentinian, providing a large ping problem.
i dont see any significance in north vs south, but i am not from latam

u know how much there was about tsm when they lost...

fnatic

RAINMAKER is still in it in LATAM, he is playing in the latin america north grand final to qualify for the grand final on may 9 to play against kru esports

mitch is also doing well as igl

yeah i got 7 downvotes :(

beb0p we all know u could never hit a headshot this is completely irrelevant

in na, the comp seemed outdated, so if gl play sen in masters icebox with this strat wouldnt the same thing happen?
unless mwzera and jonn just outaim everyone

what about my man 1leaff and xeppaa

then why is andbox ranked above nrg, xset, envy

envy beat 100t bro

hello mans, i thought u were cool i saw u in jpn chat for seoldam's game yesterday
maybe im mistaken

scream and team

do u know the background of 4/5 of the 100t players...

they're entertainers, not analysts

They let Ninja, Myth, Pokimane co stream who are all entertainers

tenz is sub so he can only be replaced

press windows key and period at the same time

yes however, i think that roster can do well if they put aslan on duelist, legoo on astra/smokes
kero is probably getting replaced because he isnt a good igl, nor a good sova, nor a good fragger

g2

@Noyn come here

u got 13-0d

its a joke brother

gamelanders won first strike brazil.which was offline...
that doesnt really count tho

"best team in the world" not even qualifying for iceland?

In a single duelist comp, I think Phoenix is a more powerful agent than Raze, mainly on a map like Ascent. We've seen it from a team like Guild, who only play Raze exclusively, but it relies heavily on winning gun duels and momentum. Flashes are so powerful too. With Astra, it is pretty easy to get onto site without flashes, but flashes help regain lost map control very well, and provide a pretty easy way to create extra space.

If we are comparing 2 players at face value and inserted them into x team, where on that team the roles wouldn't be set in stone, players who have a larger agent pool will be of greater value. I presume you made this thread because of people saying SicK is better than Victor because he can flex many roles. In this general comparison, the first thing we would compare is them on the Phoenix. Before this comparison, I'm going to say these 2 shouldn't be compared because the way they play Phoenix is very different. SicK will help TenZ get into a prime position for entry onto the site using utility, and TenZ will entry frag (a lot of the time if they are together). Vic will be the straight-up entry fragger, using utility to help himself get the frag. With that being said here are the stats of each.

SicK who has played Phoenix 27 times:
ACS: 258.8
ADR:160.5
K/D: 1.38

Victor who has played Phoenix 28 times:
ACS: 272.5
ADR: 164.6
K/D: 1.4

These stats are the most simple stats we have, and they are very, very similar.
As I said before, Victor is a main entry fragger, SicK can entry, but he supports the entry very well. Here are stats to back this up:

SicK First Kill/First Death ratio:
84/56

Victor First Kill/First Death Ratio:
117/71

We see that Victor is basically better at entrying, while other values are very similar. Now that we've done the Phoenix comparison, I think we can agree that Victor may bring more value, and we have also seen that he can use utility very well in combo (i'm referring to the molly astra suck combo in ascent a main).

Moving on now to the reason why other agent flexibility may be brought up. Yes, I would say Victor is a better Phoenix player than SicK. But can he play another role on the team? Not really. So going back to the point at the start, having flexibility makes you a more valuable player, not necessarily a better one. If we have the perfect team, and the only slot open is a Phoenix/entry fragger role, I am picking Victor over SicK. If we can flex comps by using agents such as Sage, Viper, Skye, Breach, etc., I'd take SicK. The comparison is all based around the supporting cast, and I don't think there's every going to be a perfect team scenario, where the entry fits so well, which is why many people choose SicK for this specific reason.

I hope this answered your question here, and your question about Victor vs SicK. Have a good night people
