Remember You Young - Thomas Rhett -- this just slaps lol
other good songs by Rhett are Slow Down Summer and Die a Happy Man

Overview: NAVI's comps suck, too many role issues. Zyppan is playing initiator when Shao exists, Shao is playing Killjoy when SUYGETSU exists, and ANGE1's most played agent is Omen but refuses to play smokes in any other context.
I'm gonna try to get Shao on initiator more in these comps, or at least more comfortable agents instead of Killjoy.

Ascent:
Cypher - Suygetsu
Fade - Shao
KAY/O - Zyppan
Omen - Ange1
Jett - cNed

I don't see anything wrong w/ this comp, the roles are all there and it seems pretty on-meta, only thing is MAYBE suy can change to KJ? But it seems to work pretty well.

Bind:
Viper - Suygetsu
Fade - Shao
Skye - Zyppan
Brimstone - Ange1
Raze - cNed

You can't have Bind without the Acend comp, but it's really hard to fit that in as Skye is an integral part of that comp and only Zyppan can play Skye, but Zyppan has to play Raze if cNed is on Sage. I settled instead for the Fade comp.

Fracture:
Killjoy - Suygetsu
Fade - Shao
Breach - Zyppan
Brimstone - Ange1
Raze - cNed

There were a lot of options here, I opted for the KJ-Fade comp so Shao has a more comfortable pick but there are a lot of other options.

Wild Card Fracture:
Killjoy - Suygetsu
Omen - Shao
Raze - Zyppan
Breach - Ange1
Sage - cNed

This is the XSET comp, this is the only way I could think of getting Zyppan on Raze without double duelist, which in hindsight might have worked better, but I still think this is pretty cool.

Lotus:
Killjoy - Suygetsu
Fade - Shao
Raze - Zyppan
Viper - Ange1
Omen - cNed

I actually like the idea of cNed on Omen, but they could play with the roles a lot here (cNed Raze, Zyppan Fade, Shao Omen, which is similar to what they were playing before).

Pearl:
Killjoy - Suygetsu
Astra - Shao
KAY/O - Zyppan
Sova - Ange1
Jett - cNed

Same comp as before, only real role thing is Ange1 playing Sova when Shao is right there, but I guess Ange1 isn't good on Astra?

Wild Card Pearl:
Viper - Suygetsu
Killjoy - Shao
Skye - Zyppan
Harbor - Ange1
Jett - cNed

This is the best way I could get the Harbor comp to work lol

Haven:
Killjoy - Suygetsu
Sova - Shao
Breach - Zyppan
Omen - Ange1
Jett - cNed

Normal comp, i think Zyppan is fine on Breach, otherwise everyone is very good on their roles.

Split:
Killjoy - Suygetsu
Omen - Shao
KAY/O - Zyppan
Viper - Ange1
Raze - cNed

This is literally what they played last year, same as this year but Kayo over Skye, and Shao isn't playing fucking Killjoy.

Wild Card Split
Cypher - Suygetsu
Sage - Shao
Raze - Zyppan
Omen - Ange1
Jett - cNed

This is a classic comp, Sentinels played it back in the day (I think?), and I think it works pretty well here, Shao has played Sage in the past and is pretty good on it, everyone else has possibly their most comfortable roles.

Agents each player plays:
Suygetsu - Cypher (1), Viper (1), Killjoy (5)
Shao - Fade (4), Astra (1), Sova (1), Omen (1)
Zyppan - KAY/O (3), Skye (1), Breach (2), Raze (1)
Ange1 - Omen (2), Brimstone (2), Viper (2), Sova (1)
cNed - Jett (3), Raze (3), Omen (1)

TL;DR - Shao can play Fade more, Ange1 plays more smokes, NAVI stop trolling.

Thanks for reading so far. Thoughts?

how to get on this list

He is too good for all of them >:)

imo LOUD and Fnatic are top 2, NRG, TL, DRX, PRX are the next 4 and are pretty debateable. I personally think TL and NRG are 3 and 4, but PRX definitely has a case.

that last play from brawk and the molly clutch from thief before that... LETS GO

i thought so too tbh

1. LOUD
2. Fnatic
3. Team Liquid
4. PRX
5. DRX
6. NRG
7. NAVI
8. T1
9. FUT
10. EDG
11. EG
12. ASE

I agree completely with this list

I'll average all of them out to create a vlr consensus ranking

Go Valorant

nrg

1. LOUD
2. Fnatic
3. NRG
4. Paper Rex
5. DRX
6. Team Liquid
7. NAVI
8. T1
9. FUT
10. Evil Geniuses

Not counting Chinese teams since I don't really watch them

LOUD ban Bind and Pearl
LOUD pick Ascent (NRG defense)
NRG pick Haven (Loud attack)
LOUD pick Lotus (NRG attack)
NRG pick Split (LOUD attack)

LOUD ban Lotus, LOUD ban Bind, LOUD pick Ascent, NRG pick Haven, LOUD pick Pearl, NRG pick Fracture, Split remains

NRG ban Ascent, LOUD ban Lotus, NRG pick Bind, LOUD pick Pearl, NRG pick Haven, Loud pick Split, Fracture remains
