no moments is a terrible take

berLIN and FPX back in 2024 was prime valorant. legit banger after banger.

berLIN Omen Tp Ascent vs GenG? Holy shit bring me back to those times
berLIN walks out a smoke and kills 3 TH players on Lotus?? fucking goat

now that yoru is gone? holy shit kangkang is back

kk, but he isnt even really a crutch anymore

fnatic chron was like 4 months ago
If you only include 2026; izu, Rb, Xross arent flex players

Chron was originally an intiator player for gambit btw
Chron still played flash inti for fnatic btw
Chron played duelist for m3c btw

js cuz they kicked him off a role because they needed to doesnt mean he cant play the role

wait I didnt see NRG vs AXG mb

0/4 fracture comps have had tejo

they play tejo

Every single that has gone to EDG either peaked in EDG or gone to a different team and succeded.

where is this narrative coming from, EDG are extremely good at picking out and raising talent, with the exception of hfmi

BOOOOOORING. everyone is banning fracture

be like pigeons, be interesting and pick fracture

updated cuz wtf

guys im not saying the meta changes will be bad for NRG T-T, im just saying the storyline is similar

team out of nowhere wins champs
they get 3rd in the first masters

Meta changes
-Drop a member on the team-

they bomb out second masters
fully washed by champs

Edit: they dropped strong as a made this post T-T
S1Mon flashbacks?

a whole list is crazy icl

Tuyz corner!!

kidding! but yeah i miss some of the old rosters man

hfmi was dropped a long time ago

CB isnt out, if he is, there isnt news about it

Zmjjkk - The beast of the East
Nats - No access to site
nobody - superman

^ some of my favourites

Yoru is dead

king zmjjkk is back

Making a whole army or smthing

Gambit nAts
-> GMB nAts

Gamble Nats
-> GMB Nats

+I gamble

the seasons been going on for a long time so theres no sign ups and yeah general chats been dead, but the teams are still going well

we have been scammed no?

.

bro can somehow always make it about Rb

Calling is a 1/3 of the catergory for IQ, and it wasnt like he was terrible at decision making in game such as nobody or redgar
Hence I chose oling, but i realised sword9 is the real answer

fixed

was one of the better callers in china, mechanics were bad, but thats not factored

let me help you with china

Mechanics - Happywei
IQ - Sword9
Agent Pool - Smoggy/Slowly
Movement - Zmjjkk
Vibes - SiufatBB

Sova is just better, but if comfort is fade, play fade

this excuses personal performance sure, but then its not just nephh, everyone must have been so affected that they messed up a majority of their protcools, because it just wasnt good

I pref astra on haven, because it can fake the A cross/set up A lurks, without the need of using a full smoke. similar to what viper/cypher/jett do. Most haven comps have 1 of the 4 agents to do it

Comps fine, sova is better than fade
Phoenix is a bit iffy but should work fine, waylay would be better tho
what division are you?

sure, but BLG werent reliant on strats, and their strats were never that complex or good. They are at the core, a fundamental team with whzy being a little silly at times.

What lost BLG that series was their poor reactions to certain ideas, having breach, and overall weak midrounding. not set strats or performance. Something they were struggling with since champs 2025

TS too high, JDG too low

I didnt look at the rest of the list imma be honest

i have no clue where it came from

blg are not better than XLG or EDG, even with knight they would not have won. Knight is an alright player, he isnt carrying BLG, Biank played very well overall as well.
This narrative of BLG being better I swear came from nowhere. It feels like it comes from a deep rooted dissapointment of EDG and XLG. EDG absolutely smashed BLG in the finals yet people act like knight wouldve saved them. Could blg win with knight? sure, but they def werent likely too.

she is not in a terrible state, she fufills the niche she needs to

clove is bad lmao, are u dumb
Only 4 teams ran clove, 3 of which are from ch0na and they all didnt find success besides EDG who abused K0ngk0ng on Neon
remove EDG and their fluke run, and clove cant even keep 5 wins in tier 1 LOL.

Riot is delusional for nerfing clove, Now the way to make them fair and Meta is

Not Dead Yet:

• 8 >>> 6 orbs
• Resurrection timer 10 >>> 15 seconds
• Deactivation time 0.8 >>> 0 seconds
• Invisibility when intangible (Like reyna ult)
• Revive Duration 1.5 >>> 3 seconds

(now impactful and thoughtful instead of a KD nerf, getting people to use the useless ability)

Ruse:

• Restock 40 >>> 35 seconds
• Max Cast range 55 >>> 80 meters
• Duration 13.5 >>> 17.5 seconds
• 2 Charges After Death

Meddle:

• Decay Duration 0.75 >>> 1.5 seconds
• Decay Charges 1 >>> 2
• Decay now is able to go through walls (Like KJ molly)

Pick Me Up:

• Duration 0.7 >>> Whole round (like Reyna Ult)
• When Big Z is on it, Heal to 150 HP after 1.5 seconds (Like Veto Ult)

with these small amount of buffs, I could see some teams running it to success
and we all know rank = proplay

keep ragebaiting @Jinxyp00 (can u still carry me in prem :>)

maybe..? but NS are def favoured in this meta with neon

please play new comps

Tokyo was fun

EDG underdog run/Chinas first win
Top 4 Navi Grouped
TL bombing out
The rise of EG

ty

oh so dambi got it. makes sense

yes, if they did it this time, it would be the first

they gave 2 awards?

ye, 4k from yay i believe

dambi im assuming?

otherwise Xross? i didnt stay to watch the awards

nah cuz 3-0 gambit vs envy was dominant map wise but extremely close and fun to watch in the scores/rounds

this was just a sweep

maybe. but wolves should be like 75% favourites

hades thinks he is top 1 regardless
