boston/nyc so I can actually go to one
i dont think you know what fluke means
23-eg we calling a team getting better over the course of the year, 3rd at americas, 2nd at tokyo, 1st at champs with the best players in each role, best coach and best player a fluke?
22 optoc 2nd na quals, 1st reykavik, 2nd na quals, 3rd copenhagen, 2nd champs what a fluke team
nrg-this team was never good enough to fluke, they were always trash
22fpx yes agree 100%
gonna bring this back since now we know that qck is gone. Its time for saadhak raze
i mean tbh less fragging wise is insane but personallity...could see why hes happy
He probably meant this in reference to less being benched (why tf would you bench your best TOP 5 ITW ALL TIME player)
We all know qcks gone already, and loud need a new duelist, and who happens to be availble t1 duelist? yay
if anyone could activate him its saadhak, imagine the return of el diablo the scourge of brazil to brazils best team
they could run 5 duelist comp and still stomp n0vi
honestly atp cut emea in hald and double NAs teams
yes and the only reason fpx won was because of the bug. If were talking without fluke bugs (and not fnc) its actuallly FPX vs Optic at Copenhagen
shed a tear reading this 🥲
i know for a fact there will be signs saying shamless in the crowd
bro wtf how is this a thing lmao
bilibili...
did it work? will you choke me now?

Dear Pujan "fns" Mehta,
As you embark on this new chapter of returning to professional Valorant play, I wanted to take a moment to express just how much your presence as a streamer has meant to all of us. You've been more than just a streamer; you've been a guiding light, a friend, and an inspiration to countless viewers around the world. Your streams were not just a way to pass the time; they were a sanctuary where we found laughter, solace, and a sense of belonging. Your unparalleled skill, combined with your warm and genuine personality, created an environment that felt like home. You had a unique ability to make each of us feel seen and appreciated, no matter how many were watching. In every match, every commentary, every heartfelt chat with your audience, you demonstrated a level of dedication and passion that is truly rare. No one can compare to the joy and excitement you brought to the streaming community. You weren't just the best; you were irreplaceable. As you transition back to the professional scene, we can't help but feel a bittersweet mix of emotions. We are incredibly proud and excited for what lies ahead for you, knowing that you'll bring the same excellence and integrity to your gameplay as you did to your streams. But at the same time, we will deeply miss the moments of connection and the joy that came with every broadcast.
I want to leave off with a song that I thought encompessed the comunites emotions best:
Remember me
Though I have to say goodbye
Remember me
Don't let it make you cry
For even if I'm far away
I hold you in my heart
I sing a secret song to you
Each night we are apart
Remember me
Though I have to travel far
Remember me
Each time you hear a sad guitar
Know that I'm with you
The only way that I can be
Until you're in my arms again
Remember me
Thank you for everything, Pujan. We'll always cherish the memories you've given us and look forward to cheering you on in your professional journey
i keep seeing people say that but whats going on? all i know about her is she did of
With potter behind him demon1 can help carry EG back to the intl stage, him on senti matches his play style so much and potter could easily make him a top level competitor on any role
The Washed Merchants
yay-chamber
demon1-brimstone
zeek-raze
shahzam-sova (igl)
skrossi-jett
ngl jzz and rgl were there 2 best players, mazin and artzin dont even look like top t2 players. weird moves.
Thats what im saying. People seem to forget that demon1 was litterally the BEST player itw last year and won champs on brim and astra. Hes suffering from bad chem and igl similar to cryo last year. If any igl can activate him like boostio did with cryo its fns.
he knew shanghai is probably gonna be the least viewed event (region times are ass for everyone but asia and he has the least amount of asian viewers) and the teams their are ass as well. He also knows that all his fans want him back in pro play, and if his team does well hes seen as the savior and the goat, but if they do bad they say that he couldnt fixed it all/didnt have enough time and chem/its chets fault (probably true)-so he wont get blamed no matter what and his stocks can only rise.
IMO if fns does end up back I dont see NRG being top 3 americas, maybe they somehow make it to champs but thats a big maybe (and even then theyll prob get grouped). But this is part of FNS plan, he has men on the inside now and can make his perfect team, since the org went with victor/crashies instead of him and they failed so bad. Remember what he said was his perfect team at the begining of this year?
Him
Som
Ethan
Leaf
Zekken
He has 3 of those players now and when 2025 comes hell be able to bring out a perfect squad. NRG will give him full control because they trust him now, and hell be able to bring in a initator/duelist player of his choosing. My geuss is yay comes back since fns said he wants to play with him and he can activate him like boostio has done with cryo and demon1. As for the initator I could see a lot of different people but its too soon to tell as the he will probably want whoevers the best throughout the year.
ngl hes in my top 3 of top 5 players who are top 10 in my best players ranked for shanghai
Tired of this fucking argument "chronicle is the goat cause hes won the most" or "sen have 2 trophies how many does your fav have"
you know who else has trophies?
Shahzam Zombs Dapr Deffo Redgar Bonecold Zeek Starxo Bonecold Killes boaster
But we arent calling any of these guys the goats
current? well...
1, Sen Tenz
if were going by how dominant they were in their sport?
HM: Lionel Messi, Floyd Mayweather, Muhammad Ali, Tom Brady, Lebron James, Roger Federer, Serena Williams, Simone Biles
Top Five
5 Tiger Woods
4 Wayne Gretzky
3 Micheal Phelps
2 Usain Bolt
1 Sen Tenz
geniunly so mad fns wont be streaming shanghai games anymore (just used my prime on him and my computer doesnt have adblock to watch other streamers). But if he does come back it would be legendary
IF they both come back (rumors unlikley imo but weve seen crazier shit happen)
FNS is def playing senti since no one else can, and som is playing smokes since they benched marved, who is replaced? You have to keep crashies as the only scan initator player, and both Ethan and Demon1 are confirmed by the spreadsheet to be guaranteed staying. My pred is their gonna pull a 23 EG/24 100T where Demon1 will play jett then switch to smokes on raze maps and som will take his place on raze since hes a very good raze player (bassicly what jaw did in 23)
So the team would be
Demon1: Jett/smokes on raze maps
Ethan: Flash initator
Crashies: scan Initator
Som: smokes/raze
FNS: Senti
imo this is extermly unlikely because I think if they wanted to get rid of one of victor/crashies theyd get rid of them both and keep marved (since som is extermly flexible and can play anything at a high leve)
feel free to update my vct players as harry potter list link
geniune question, who is prod? ive never heard his name in the pro scene before (i dont pay attention much to t2 so if hes from their my b)
is the goat gonna be watch partying? Need to know because I have math final tommorow and would rather not wake up at 3 am if hes not going live
this take is so bad
its almost like valorant is a team based game and the best players thrive in a good system, something that was clearly not present in any team yay has been on since optic. Look at the difference between Cryo last year vs this year, tenz in 23 vs 24, or cned on navi vs fut. Everyone (including me) called all these players washed but they made HUGE comebacks to their primes when put on a team where they have good chem, and an igl and coach can utilize them. Yay just needs someone like that too, as does everyone else struggling due to bad enviorment (all of NRG comes to mind)
Listen im pretty delusiinal sometimes but you might be the dumbest motherfucker ive ever met
wow what a crazy lower bracket run against checks notes a mid af guild with two shit igls whos whole strat was to play retake every round, a mid drx with buzz underperfoming the whole tourney and Rb on jett, FNC with mistic and enzo (you cant tell me this fnc was all that when BOASTER was the third best player), optic who trolled comps, and prx who are always destined to get 2nd. What a lower bracket run guys.
nah they lost to bbl drizzy esports theres no coming back from that
3rd best team got destroyed by drx twice at champs, got beat by xset once almost twice if not for the bug
We know how navi this year and last year were mid af, but some say in 2022 they were a top team when in actuality they were always mid.
Reykavik 2022-some say they would have won if they attended but scrims never match results. Remember when Lev was thought to be the best team in 23 because they owned in scrims? Remember Icy 'scrim demon' being the worst on his team? Remember NRG 'owning' scrims? Remember sen w/pancada beating champs teams? Remember 100T being called a superteam in 23?
Copenhagen 2022-Almost lost xxerxia and beat northpeion in groups (both mid af) Lost to trash fnc, beat mid guild, drx out of form (they had rb on jett), barely beat mid fnc, lost to optc trolling comps (wtf is this, and only beat mid prx with benkai because they choked
Champs 22-LOST TOO XSET WITH DEPHH AYRIN AND SYKKO (inexcusible), qualed to playoffs by beating shit kru twice, got destroyed by drx, beat mid lev, WOULDVE LOST TO XSET AGAIN if the turret bug didnt happen, got completly destroyed by drx.
This is your top team?
because the nerfs were too much. The only reason they nerfed him that much and why you think that is because everyone hates him so much from when he was meta. His trap is usless on almost every map, his ult is way too many ult points for a normal op, his headhunter is only good on eco rounds, which isnt even a thing anymore since they cost so much. His tp is decent but is very inflexible, the only reason he still gets play is because players used to be good on him
look at my recent thread, it has much better changes
well if neon was that op then she shouldnt be neon. We only have balanced agents here at rito
nah he still has it only for the ult tho
now this is a great change if ive ever seen one
im still salty about the chamber nerf (it was way too much) and know they nerfing the only two other agents I play (viper/raze) im fucking pissed
Based on how riot nefed chamber this is the nerfs/buffs I can see them doing
Jett-no knife kill refresh, only one dash per round, updraft is much lower
Raze-rocket 9 ult points, only one nade per round, one satchel can only move raze and do no damage
Neon-no fast running, only one wall not two
Phoenix-make the ult 8 points, one flash, wall is straight cant be curved
Yoru-one tp no refresh, 8 point ult, one flash
Reyna-one flash, lasts much shorter, no invis dismiss in ult
Iso-keep same hes in a good spot
Sova-drone price 800, one shock, dart refreshs every minute
Fade-one prowler, haunt can only see front to back (where the faces are), ult is only as wide as a breach stun
Gekko-you cant pick up util
Breach-one shock per round, ult cant hit people in the air, aftershock only does one hit for half damage, flash is much slower
Skye-one flash
Kayo-knife doesnt shut people down it only shows you where people are, ult radius is much smaller
Viper-no decay on anything, ult is much smaller and does damage to teammates
Brimstone-smokes last the same as everyone else, ult is smaller
Omen-one smoke (still refreshs), one tp
Astra-3 stars, cant pick them up after placing them
Harbor-in a good spot
Clove-in a good spot
Killjoy-ult radius much smaller, one nano, alarmbot and turret does not respawn and can not be picked up
Cypher-one trip, ult is 8 points, cam and trip can not be picked up again and if broken does not respawn
Sage-heal for 30 hp only, res can only be used when last alive, one slow lasts less
Chamber-in a good spot
Deadlock-in a good spot
Split
Ascent
Haven
Lotus
Pearl
Fracture
Bind
If you disagree argue with the wall
as a wrestler who wresteled 220 and heavyweight weight class, ardiis (estimated aroud 300-350) doesnt strike me as the type of guy to have any stamina, maybe hes good for about 20 seconds but after that hes wiped. FNS (estimated around 140-150) on the other hand goes to the gym tons and looks like hes pretty fast. Since neither have any experince ill go on basic win cons.
Ardiis win cons
FNS win cons
Overall id say FNS wins 7/10 times due to his superior stamina.
the goofiest of goofy upsets is def Liquid vs Secret.
Liquid were predicted to be top 3 emea, going far in lock//in and then they lost BADLY against secret, who were predded to be one of the worst teams there
