Well thought out list for sure. I might put KRU over Nuturn just because they might skill diff them but I could see Nuturn's utility setting them up for wins.

Then say that so that people don't think that you are stupid and didn't put any thought into it if you aren't trolling

truly a miracle

I will say that NA is the best region and give up supporting other regions

WAIT NO I WAS THINKING ABOUT YAY IM DUMB

He was their best player after Android left....

100T, SEN, C9B

100T lost because they couldn't understand how to play the meta, which they'll be able to do now.

SEN will still be good.

C9B is on the comeup and is going to look really fucking good once their new players adjust to Valorant.

He played Sentinel on IMT, and was good at it. Could play duelist as well.

Rip, hopefully they get there early enough to get used to the setups and practice a bit.

Valve wouldn't have made the game or updated it after release

YW

Have you considered VLR night mode?

Formulaic rankings (like VLR's or Spike's) are calculated using the ELO system, which generally rates people highly for long term consistent success. Nothing is accurate to short term changes, other than expert opinion perhaps, but that is still influenced by personal bias.

It definitely is, Val is much easier to advertise for as it isn't about terrorists blowing up counter-terrorists.

They are still going to look lost.

True

I feel like it won't be for a long time, but it could happen. CS will continue losing players as long as valve doesn't do a lot of work updating the game constantly.

I don't see it working under the current system that the game classifies roles as.

KR might not be good, but JP and SEA both are atrocious

Yeah, top 10 is not enough for them, their brand in Valorant was domination and they will do whatever it takes to get back to at least looking like a top 3 team in EU.

100T or FNC because I'd like to be able to learn under one of the great old IGLs or one of the new great IGLs.

TenZ choke to free loss ezpz

He is pretty good with it

Patitek has looked his best in a long time on duelist recently, so I prefer that over him playing smokes. I am interested in how the roles work out

If BR does well internationally there will be more investment into their scene, but they are just as likely to get poached as to have actual BR teams built with investment.

I mean when your peak is #1 in EU, anything that doesn't immediately put you back at #1 is a downgrade.

Also ardiis has indeed not looked great, but I think that he can still perform at a T1 level

He didn't G2's only IGL was Ozzy when they trialed him.

timeCheck this post is 2 fucking months old.

Huh, maybe he'll be better than Chet?

I feel like there is justification to put KR LATAM and NA in any of the 3rd-5th positions,

1. Ascent
2. Bind
3. Split
4. Haven
5. Breeze
6. Icebox

Changes daily based off my play tho :/

Yep, and if there aren't enough of them you'll end up in Bronze lobbies. It's funny when it happens in Plat cause I'll see Immortal act ranks but then they really are just Plat players now

Giving wardell the gun had the highest chance of success, sometimes your bottom frag is going to have a good time, but you should always bet on your best player, not your weakest one.

If they change more than 2 players, they lose whatever points gained by the players who were dropped.

we gotta keep his comments at +/-0

BIG win for G2, mistake for Acend to lose their IGL for a player that might frag slightly better.

You have to say something really dumb to beat 150~ downfrags...

Yes, I haven't played in a week bc of studying for tests though and I miss it

Fucking good

I don’t know a lot about Alorante or Monsteerr but ardiis and patitek are good T1 players. Seems unlikely since they will lost VCT points for switching more than 2 roster members, but it certainly would be worse than current heretics but still probably T1.

I upfragged you because the things you say here very likely could happen, but FNC’s entry to Reykjavik was way less of a fluke than liquids.

The problem wasn’t steel, it was their inability to play viper and astra, something that they admit.

As an American you are very American

Sinatraa is just a better individual player and a better team player. There is no debate around it

They have player role problems in addition to their coaching problems. It just seems like a change in player roster away from the starting roster is the correct move, perhaps these players just can’t be consistent together anymore.

Tell better jokes

Sadge

Chet might have had something to do with NRG's improvements, but it also could have been that they added absurdly skilled players too. Maybe this is the system that he needs to build a better team

Possibly a positive mood, but it seems unlikely to fix their host of problems.
