wdym true? he has barely played the other intiators in proplay? also what we are looking for is a flash inti, which is not is vivas pool. His experience is worse, his aim is worse, he doesnt fufill the correct role, so why add viva

vs who

sheydos duelist??????

respectfully I just fully disagree with this take

vivas agent pool is tiny and just is not better than aaay.

also aaay is apart of fpx bro

why would i be dissapointed in the goat

name a single inti player better than aaay thats from the mainland

so dissapointed :(

tec keep rb and win all 3 tournaments this year

yes, they got a very deserved reset

smoggy
nats
mindfreak
BerLIN
BerLIN
and fucking BerLIN

my biggest question is who they replace? surely xxcurate? if not izu? I just pray its not a 6 man roster

W W W W W W. W W W W W. WW W W W W. W W W W W W W. W W W W W W W

T1 IS FUCKING COOKING

true i forgot about him

zekken - duelist
chichoo - senti
Chronicle - flex
nobody - inti + igl
karon - smokes

yeah agreed, t1 or drx should really aim for atleast top 3 next year

why are the top league teams unable/unwilling to field a good roster org in valorant?
WBG? TES? LNG?
they all dipped and wouldnt even try in ascension and arguably had very budget roster that would instantly sell their players if they were really good

TE, G2, PRX, DRX, 100T, FPX

even if this was true, zekken is superior in every other way (spoiler zekken mechs are better as well)

0/8

chichoo
benjy
meteor
alfa
suygetsu
nats
less

def arguable for top 5

sayf carried???

yeah thats fair

okay here are some random countries you could do (I literally stat checked so take everything with a grain of salt)

🇵🇰 : Bloody soulM8 AlleN niklaus hsn

🇻🇳: Kishi f1cio viness suka crazyguy
🇲🇾: aduka zeeq FrostyZ jeed d4v4i
🇵🇭: invy 2ge wild0reoo Jremy Jessievash

i will look for more later

also how many countries do you still need?

for a hk team I would rather

Heybay (IGL - Flex)
NoMan (duelist)
YOU (iniator)
Uta (sentinel)
Kiuuuu (controller)

btw I know siufatbb is a good player and kiuuuu is pretty mediocre at best but all of these player clash in role and kiuuuu was the best hk controller I could find

yeah wolves is a good pick

I bet they wont even lose a match

jdg isnt really a darkhorse they were top 6 in china

i prefer a team like TEC for china esp if they pick haodong

edg darkhorse????

TEC are gonna come in hot in china
koi are gonna awaken
C9 come out top 4 in americas
and dfm get carried into an amazing season

seeding matches, group phases, upper bracket matches

those matches are pretty important

"not good enough mechanically for t1"

look at what anyone who has coached him has said

according to everyone who has coached and played with him, in scrims he is just a different player like 90% better which is why he has stayed in liquid for so long

yay

you wouldnt put pancada because he has shown any good results since champs 2022 like literally nothing. you dont know if the talent is there anymore. if you dont think nats is a top sentinel then people like suygetsu and less should also be disqualified.

then whats your list?

benjy
chichoo
alfa
meteor (kinda a senti)
??

I can believe in a strong domestic season but I dont see a inter playoffs for the team

but hey idk

hallllooooo

-> rates kajaak below derke -> believes fnatic will win a title
??

doesnt matter in the olympics and also makes it 99% easier to sort players into regions (because this is a hypothetical)

ive met atleast 3 which is already too much

the worse draws for TE were EDG, DRX and heretics, very unfortunate

I was kinda cooking here no?

hi :D its 9 pm for me

his champs performance was mediocre this year, but like in champs 2022 he was incredible

yes, as long as he isnt bringing down the mood, I agree

g0-2 if that happens

koi roster? overrated? how they seem pretty fairly rated

tokyo

and internationally he has performed very well on an individual level, I dont see how you can lower someones performance because their team was unable to perform at the same level, if nats was mediocre at those events, yeah sure, he cant be considered the best but he puts up numbers despite the lackluster performance of the rest of his team, there are two matches he did bad. liquid vs loud (where everyone did bad) and liquid vs EDG. all his other matches far exceed his teammates
