Outplayed/Overwolf is good, can sort of customise what you want it to record (Full games, just kills, assists etc.)
I have to agree, this is far from great for V1, but i had to give 100T the IGL sadge
Thought it made sense at the time ngl haha
He is now, but with zander on the team, he wouldn't have to make that swap and could keep on that Skye/flex role
Yeah sorry it's such a long read haha, I tried to trim it down as much as I could. Thanks for the summary, I think it's just a cool topic
HYPOTHETICAL
Something I was thinking about the other day, what if every team in the NA top 10 (according to VLR rankings) made a roster move with the opposite team in the top 10? (eg. 1 trade with 10, 2 trade with 9 etc.) These are designed to help boost the lower ranked team, and see if the top could still be up there with a different player, I will also include a small comment about the players. I'm not saying that these moves should happen, just a bit of fun to imagine "what if?"
*EDIT: Sorry for the formatting, tried to fix but no luck :(
Top 10 NA teams (https://www.vlr.gg/rankings/north-america)
Trade 2: OpTic Gaming & NRG | yay & s0m
When "yay" first joined the Envy core, there was an instant shift for the team, from being a consistent 4th/5th team, to beating SEN and coming second in Berlin. "yay" being such an explosive player and all-star on Jett, can help bring some more carry potential to a bubbling NRG roster
"s0m" isn't a bad player by any means, you just have to tune into a stream to see no end of highlights on most duellist picks, however, NRG haven't been able to get the most out of him for a while, but with the guidance of "FNS" and star Sova "crashies" he could have more room to work and bring back those high-impact games on Jett as well as a great Chamber which was showcased in the most recent weeks of VCT.
Trade 3: Sentinels & The Guard | dapr & neT
"dapr" has historically been an exception sentinel player for SEN since their inception, always bringing crucial & high-impact frags when needed. His high skill ceiling + tenure at the top of the game combine to bring a veteran presence to a young team on the rise. While his Chamber may not be as strong as "neT", his other agents (particularly Cypher) are world class, and it's only a matter of time before he catches up on Chamber as well.
"neT" had been on the come up for a long time, before being trialled by ANDBOX, and eventually picked up as the first piece of The Guards puzzle. He could learn a lot as a young player under the SEN core, also bringing an exceptional Chamber which "dapr" cannot yet match. While he may be a bit weaker at the other agents, I believe the sky is the limit for this young talent.
Trade 4: XSET & Knights | zekken & XXiF
zekken has emerged as a top tier flex player, playing the Skye, KAY/0, and most notably, Raze for an ever-present XSET. Moving him to a team with another promising talent in "ban" + the support of Immortals alumni "genghsta", he could really do some damage and take games some of the teams listed above.
XXiF has been on the Knights team for a long team, dealing with a sometimes revolving door of players. having a stronger IGL in "dephh" and deadly partner in crime in "Cryocells". With flexibility to boot, he could provide the support the teams needs to back up their already outstanding firepower.
Trade 5: Version1 & 100 Thieves | zander & jcStani
Not many were sure if the IGL hole could be filled again properly after the departure of "Vanity" at the end of 2021, they tried with "oderus" but something just didn't seem to be clicking. "zander" came into the team riding the success of a SoaR roster that he lead to tier 2 dominance, and he brought that same resolve to his new home, that have since dominated tier 2, and have gone undefeated in their group for VCT. Giving "zander" the keys to such talent as "Asuna" & "Ethan" could solve a lot of potential problems with 100 Thieves, giving them a certified IGL, as supposed to shoehorning "Ethan" into it.
"jcStani" has been a staple of NA Valorant, moving between tier 2 teams, but never having his skill questioned by most of the community. Being one of the most flexible player in NA, it would bring more options for Version1, as well as another competent IGL who has led a successful team before. I think "jcStani" on this team would be one of the most interesting to watch if it was to ever happen
D1 will always be unmatched for me, I'm enjoying watching D2 on the side tho, especially with the new release the other day

CS, Overwatch (Destiny fav game of all time tho)
Rocket League is cool Esport
FaZe Clan
Benny the Butcher, Westside Gunn, Conway the Machine (Griselda)
Ramirez
Other bangers
You saying OpTic haven't been good since they lost Mikes?
They didn't invite him to the party sadge
This Kanye go hard tho, Fivio just don't miss
As far as we know, Marved is still on loan from FaZe
Yeah it's crazy, it's like the TenZ thing all over again
FaZe still securing the absolute bag for Marved lol, still have him on loan
It was like 50/50 between them both, should've put him up as well
Dota 2 is massive in Asia/EU as well, the "Richest" Esports player, "N0tail" is a Dota vet
Forgot about SicK tbh, but they're both flex players. Asuna can play Jett, but it isn't even top 5 NA, having him there s hyper-flex just works better
Wouldn't say they're top 4, just a country I actually know players from and felt like i could build a roster. Wanted to do Korea but wasn't confident about it at all
Zombs has historically been one of the best support players in the game, while he haven't seen SEN since Champs, i don't see him falling off
These are the best rosters imo if a World Cup happened right now
USA
Canada
UK
France
It mainly came up due to their social media team posted on the now deleted Noble twitter, saying they wouldn't be doing anything for the org until they got paid. Other people who had worked with the org previously are now coming out saying how they or people they worked with also never got paid or not paid in full.
The GM (or someone who was in a similar position) has since posted a statement saying that he has stepped down from the org due to the same reasons mentioned above
Screwface cracked
I hecking love PlatChat :platchest: :battlechest:
Right now you have to place C9 at 2nd in NA at least. Even if you base it solely off results, C9 placed highest at Champions and have been winning any NSG weekly/Monthly events they've entered
1 Sen/C9
2 C9/Sen
3 Envy
4 XSet
5 V1
6 100T
7 Guard
8 Rise
9 T1
10 NRG
flyuh & Larrybanks are both from Teal Seam
Don't know who update this stuff now, but ORDER have a new logo and twitter (@ordergaming_gg)
the black C9 (Blue logo) jersey is sick, Liquids jersey for last year was dope, SSG & Rogue have sick designs with the faded logo in the background
6.2 ft, 2 weeks
At least in unrated it doesn't really matter if you aren't cooperating with the team and all that stuff
Unranked is right there my man, just play that if you don't care and won't even listen to other comms
I would expect a proper academy scene to be introduced sometime in 2022. Orgs like TSM, C9 & T1 who already have academy teams are just trying to get the best talent to develop
I wanna see LG pound like they used to
