I feel like the venues were fine this year tbh, I think it was more the crowds that were kind of disappointing. Especially the Paris crowd, like even the Brazilian crowd for Americas ascension was better despite most of the LATAM/Brazilian teams not making it to playoffs. But production did kind of suck apart from VCT CN.

The one time that Sen beat G2 on Ascent this year was because mCe helped them anti-strat it. His anti-stratting is some of the best, but I'm not sure about his other qualities.

Its not like ENVY beat MU 13-3 13-3 even when MU is coached by mCe which is known for his anti-strats. Or how they beat Cubert even with the caliber of players they have and their coach WKN which is most likely going to be a tier 1 coach next year.

I mean if they could be anti'd so easily they wouldn't have won ascension. Also most ascension teams won't have the same roster since most of the time other teams poach players so even if another team won it would have been the same thing.

They have been since Champs 2023, why are you only noticing this now

He played Yoru back when it was basically just a troll pick and was the worst duelist, this isn't anywhere near that level of Yoru so he'll be fine

Its hard not to hate on 100T when they give so much of a reason to hate. If 100T were to build around eeiu and either cryo or zander then I wouldn't hate so much, but it doesn't seem like that's what they are doing.

I feel like 100T roster moves are kind of questionable. I feel like they are putting everything on poaching players from TSM but since they are doing that they won't really have a chance to sign any of the other extremely talented tier 1 and 2 players that other teams have already trialed and are negotiating with. And if they end up not getting some of the TSM players then they are in a really bad spot. And it seems like they are already going to re-sign asuna for the 6th year in a row which makes it ever worse.

Now I have been an 100T hater for a long time but even I am finding it hard to hate an org like 100T when they seem so pitiful currently.

It gets even better too since Sen will benefit too since they havemostly shooters and zellsis but Zellsis holding Sen back is normal so its all good.

Its a good thing that the new Valorant patch will change all of this

Don't worry, if NS make it they'll just another fodder team for TS to beat on their path to winning masters Santiago

100T will be a bottom 3 team next year while Furia will be a top 6 team.

Also not really a hot take, actually probably an ice cold take, DRG is winning Champions next year.

It's not like everyone knows prx resigned the whole roster. If your going to bait at least make it about a player that isn't signed

I mean vo0kashu is like him but better in every way, but vo0kashu isn't leaving DRG so they'll have to find someone else

2G had an academy team and an GC team and supported the scene heavily but look what not winning got them. And I may hate 100T but it sucks for anyone who actually likes the org to see 100T endlessly get rid of their most talented players just to sign Asuna for the nth year in a row.

If 100T actually drop eeiu, then add him to the list of players I listed above. How is 100T even considering this? Actually a braindead org

He's like an EMEA Cryo but with an agent pool easier to work around

Rocket bullets copies what other leakers leak or just randomly guesses most of the time, he's not that trustworthy but sometimes he is right

I mean I understand timotino's jett is really good so they want him on it but why is Seven not on sage or skye, at least they are viable on Haven unlike breach

1. Its the only time 100T have really been successful since first strike
2. Before they were mid and after they were mid
3. As soon as teams figured out their bind and fracture they started to lose again
4. Sen was burnt out after winning masters madrid, Lev had a shit coach who didn't know what he was doing who they had to replace and G2 had Icy

I mean they managed to be ass with sgares and FrosT so they can definitely manage it even with m4

Somehow 100T have had pretty much 0 success apart from a single fluke run to Shanghai even though in the past they've had players like Ethan, Stellar, Inspire, Seven, and Derrek, and even currently have cryo and eeiu, and yet Asuna is the one that has been on the org for 6 years despite all this talent they've thrown away.

I think 100T might actually just be a clueless org that doesn't know anything about talent development. Maybe boostio, zander and kess were just the result of 100T and are actually good players.

Came back just to spout more dogshit bait/takes

While he's played okay, I think that's really disappointing for a previous tier 1 player, especially if you look most of the other players who have played in ascension who have also played in tier 1.

Like even the ex Furia players look like they're on another level compared to most of the other tier 2 players while Governor is only okay.

I feel like Winthrop looked like a better team this year before Governor joined anyone else also think that?

Edit: I should rephrase what I said, Ali and Glyph improved the team but its feels like Governor was a downgrade from Flare and even sometimes Nashies because at least Nashies had better util.

Cute dragon+vo0kashu(basically a better chronicle and nats)+insane chinese aim and gameplay+most interesting region to watch+ new patch will make china better+run it down gaming+good looking igl and whole team has aura apart from flex1n

I don't think verno is locked because why else would he scrim with sen right after zekken was rumored to be committed verbally

It feels like his growth has stagnated with 100T and he should instead look at new options for a fresh experience that can maybe reignite him rather than staying on the same org for 6 years in a row.

Hopefully he wins at least one last trophy to not only retire on a good note but to also be the last competitive EMEA team and end the EMEA trophy drought and then retire and watch EMEA fall apart and never win a trophy again.

Vaping with some random high school kids

All this just to still be worse than TH, TL, FNC and probably the other two French teams

Not even I a generational Icy hater wishes him upon any team even among teams like Sen and 100T

GenG should resign him because when he was there they didn't have mental problems.

Asuna to coach and GM and CEO

Just be glad your not a 100T or C9 fan who get their hope ripped away every time after their team crumbles after looking like they were turning things around.

I mean to be fair the TL roster this year was supposed to be one that saved on money and didn't have many expectations from the TL management so it could very well be possible if TL invest more money.

I feel like he would shoot like FNS but would have the brain or igl'ing to make up for it

I'm just waiting for the copypasta to be posted

This is like a news story once a year and yet it either never actually hits earth or is too small to care about

I'd probably Viva too, but I feel like Knight has a higher peak, so I included both but Viva is the more likely choice.

Why sign any LATAM tier 2 players that can't even keep up with NA tier 2 currently when you can sign one of the best players not only in NA but all of tier 1

Spritz1(Duelist)
Chichoo(Senti/Flex)
Smoggy(Smokes)
Vo0kashu(Flex)
Knight/Viva(Initiator)

Retirement doesn't mean that much in esports tbh, he could just come back anytime he wanted

I think Sen is also in the "We'll have to see" category because yes losing Zekken is a big hit, but the tier 2 players they are picking up are some of the better ones and we've seen with teams like Lev and NRG tier 2 players can reinvigorate a roster.

CN- Zhe and Satoshi

But also I can see most teams interested in the rest of the RA or AQG players also some individuals like WsLeo seem to be good enough for offers

No a super team is a team put together with players that an org expects will compete and win you international trophies because the best player in each region in each role is subjective.
