Anything is viable in ranked, I wouldn’t worry about comp too much.
Having westside on Yoru isn't the absolute worst thing but I think he'd be so much more comfortable on sentinel.
You can play Yoru supportively, I think Flickless could pull it off.
Who plays smokes in a double duelist comp? john?
I'd have JonahP over penny, and have Zander (main smokes) /JonahP (flex) alternate on senti. koala smokes/Duelist, eeiu scan, mada Duelist.
A: Alfajer
B: brawk
C: Cryo
D: Dambi
E: Ethan
F: f0rsaken
G: GLYPH
H: happywei/hiro
I: iZu
J: johnqt
K: koalanoob
L: lovers rock
M: marteen
N: nAts
O: OXY
P: primmie
Q: qiutiaN
R: Rb
S: Shr1mp
T: trent
U: UdoTan
V: valyn
W: whzy
X: xavi8k
Y: Yuicaw
Z: zekken
Who would you change?
So for something like Abyss it would be:
Boni Waylay
Reduxx Yoru
JonahP Sova
johnqt Omen
cortezia Astra
And then for Haven:
Boni Neon
Reduxx Omen
JonahP Sova
johnqt Viper
cortezia Killjoy
And if they ever run double initiator (e.x. old Ascent comp):
Boni Jett
Reduxx Omen
JonahP KAY/O
johnqt Sova
cortezia Killjoy
The roles themselves seem fine, I'm just not 100% sold on Jonah being the recon player...
Oh I didn't know about john being confirmed IGL. I don't hate it but he was fragging insanely well off IGL, hopefully he can keep it up.
If you're keeping cortezia, johnqt, and Reduxx, you probably need a recon initiator, I'm not sold on john being the recon role. You also need someone else to play Duelist (since it's a double duelist meta) and also play smokes or senti or flex, OR have reduxx be the flex on single duelist maps.
Given you at least need a recon and a Duelist, I think they won't pick up JonahP. chloric would be really good but IDK if NRG would give him up to a rival (I also don't know if it works like that so correct me if I'm wrong). They could also go for Derrek, or someone like ducq/welyy.
Boni's been pretty good this split but he's not that consistent. There are a lot of Tier2 Duelists/Flex to choose from. But he isn't the worst option.
My personal favorite roster would be:
Reduxx Duelist
Chloric Recon/IGL
johnqt Senti/Smokes flex (maybe flash initiator or Tejo too)
satellite/zaj Yoru/smokes/initiator flex
cortezia Smokes/Senti
Would be very flexible and open up a lot of comp options.
Not sure about solo Viper.
I like your comp with Brim and Breach tbh
hahaha
What did Martin Luther King say when he caught a child predator?
"I have a Dream..."
Canada
Controller/Sentinel: Zander (IGL)
Initiator: eeiu
Duelist: mada
Flex (Yoru/Smokes): Koalanoob
Viper/Flex: JonahP
I was looking at TMV's list and agreed with some of his top 15. nats, forsaken, valyn, marteen, minny are definitely top 10 players.
Other parts I disagree with. I really don't think brawk is top 10, much less top 5. I think he underrates izu and Rb, who didn't make top 15. a sleeper pick for top 15 is keiko imo - didn't make his shortlist, but I think he's been heating up and is gonna find really good form at Santiago.
What do you guys think?
pretty good ngl, ive heard it depends on how much you like the other person though. with the right one it feels amazing.
SULTAN IS BACK
EVERYBODY REJOICE
I had to check that this was a parody account, would've lost my mind.
People voted in a poll, ranked all the teams 1-12. The number is just the average position they were voted in.
EMEA avg: 5.76
AMER avg: 5.9
APAC avg: 6.03
CN avg: 8.31
Thoughts? Who's too high and who's too low?
I was kinda surprised too. We've only lost to G2 and MIBR, and we beat them again in the rematch.
I think people just don't follow China enough to justify putting them above their favorite region
Current leaderboard:
pretty spread out so far.
I'm pretty surprised they're in first
No hate to TL but they are not better than M8/BBL atm, not in the least to say the other region's teams. They at least have something to prove,
This is the only map with 0 deaths. Crazy
tex dropped 2.01 rating in the second half of haven and yall tryna drop him?
Verno, aspas should go imo
#freetex
if we're talking about average rating I still think something like 0.9 or 0.95
in one game it doesn't matter their rating if the team is performing
MIBR: Bans Pearl
NRG: Bans Bind
MIBR: Picks Breeze
NRG: Picks Abyss
MIBR: Picks Haven
NRG: Picks Corrode
Decider: Split
The problem is 0.8 is pretty fucking low, like look at Americas, only 4 players are 0.8 and below (N4rrate, cauan, virtyy, governor).
If you're going to have 0.8 consistenly then the rest of your team is gonna have to frag insanely well to even have a chance. basically at most one other player can go below 1.0.
fundamentally, though, I agree with your point that it's not the end of the world if there's a weak fragging link on the roster.
Title.
Specifically on Breeze, where Viper-Astra is already common and people ran Omen as the duelist, like Icebox, in the past.
turkish flag bro how you not know about crewen
https://www.vlr.gg/491909/bbl-pcific-vs-koi-f-nix-challengers-league-2025-emea-2-ubsf
man we started 3-0. now 3-3.
This better not be a sign of things to come with NRG, I don't wanna see them lose to 100T
I would if I had the data, I gathered these manually throughout the year.
Maybe with the API I could
Thanks though!
Hello all!
I made some dashboards showing data for NRG as a team and for individual players.
If you guys want to check them out here's the link: https://github.com/Flame4Game/NRG-2025-Dashboards/tree/main/Dashboards
Any feedback is appreciated! it's my first time doing anything like this.
Poland is stacked bro you have Filu, grubinho, kamyk, unfake, NINJA/patitek off the bench
Yeah the thing is that while it's hard to pin comps down by role, there's nothing wrong with the current classifications because there will always be comps that don't obey the roles.
So here are the 5 roles :
Duelist (Any duelist)
Off (2nd Duelist, Senti-off)
Reveal (Sova, Fade, Skye, some delu team will add Tejo)
Def (2nd Controller, Senti-def)
Controller (Any controller)
Let's take no-duelist comps, like Chamber comps in 2022 or Icebox comps in 2024/5.
Comp A: Sova/Fade/KAYO/Chamber/Astra
Comp B: Sova/Omen/Viper/Killjoy/Sage
For comp A would you have: KAYO Duelist, Fade Off, Sova Reveal, Chamber Def, Astra Controller? or switch Chamber and KAY/O or Fade?
For comp B would you have: Omen Duelist, Sage Off, Sova Reveal, Killjoy Def, Viper Controller?
Riot's roles are not the best for describing agents, but they work mostly within compositions. Before 2026, most comps had one of each + a flex. Will there be exceptions? Definitely. But that doesn't mean the system itself is flawed.
invy's natural role is flash initiator. I don't hate the roles on Bind, it was how they played that was shit.
TMV in shambles
thanks!
