NV walked so Rankers could run

we got envy back in esports before gta 6

nrg navi th

calling mibr and krü wildcards when both of them were top 3 and 4 is kinda insane icl

loud and nrg are better wildcards by definition

dragging flor into everything

just say what u really wanna say bro

3.5/8 rage bait. made me open the link, almost fell for it

ngl i'd rather have abyss than icebox

i think that between 0.3-0.35 and 800dpi is the best balance

i mean, the map at it's core is essentially the same. they just nerfed odin spam in main

talon goes on a run

sen tried doble sentinel against geng in ascent and got absolutely cooked, their comp had too many gaps

i would agree with you if it wasn't that there's no room for cooking new comps in maps like ascent

any other option that isn't a standard comp is worse

it's precisely horrible to play in ranked because that map requires coordination

i see people in immo lobbies that don't know how to play mid in pearl

there's easier maps to play in ranked (like icebox or lotus)

there's richer map when it comes to agent pools, setups, and strats

for example, ascent is bad because you're basically obligated to play sova + omen + kayo, and every round is the same: mid pressure with a main lurk, and rarely some stack rush in main

the map and agent pool are not flexible

with abyss and bind out, and icebox and ascent in, is this the worst map pool ever?

ascent has been played the same way for years (maybe w the double initiator tejo meta ascent gets played diferently?)

pearl is OK to watch in pro play (though most teams just play b long or split a) but horrible to play in ranked

split, fracture, and lotus are fun to both watch and play

haven and icebox are boring to watch, but fun to play

thoughts? maybe there's worse map pools, but i feel like this is at least the worst one in a while

all 3 of those finals were 50/50, don't act like the west is "bad"

2/8 had me until aspas

this is probably the worst final since fnc-eg

false, that was nova esports, in december 14th

https://www.vlr.gg/428882/nova-esports-vs-edward-gaming-superb-cup-lbf

ik but this final is 50/50 anyway

pacific has never won a grand final against na in internationals, so g2 3-1 t1

#VForVictory

wdym i fw lakia, i think he had the best sova in the world at one point

but it's hard to measure a player's impact if you're not inside the team

who is the best at looking mid playing for the best team itw

again?

insentives: skins, free rp, endorsement system

just anything but the same gun buddy you get every act

and also make people register with a unique phone number, so people don't just throw/don't try bc they have a smurf

that or just allow faceit

in my 4 years of playing the game, i've never seen ranked be this fucked up

people act like their entire family just got murdered, it's actually so depressing

esports is great and all, but i don't understand how riot is not doing anything to fix ranked

bet

It doesn't say anything in Tanmay's article

https://www.e4equip.com/post/sources-nrg-part-ways-with-verno-and-coach-bonkar

figured out, as i found no source to that claim

he punched FNS? when?

but they kicked bonkar too

u realize that just now?

8 months!?! damn time goes fast

Has to be internal. He was 100% not kicked for performance

Who do you bench? If you replace Crashies it will be useless, because FNC is holding the scan role for Leo anyway

And you're not going to kick Kaajak for Something, especially after Kaajak slowly improving game by game

just say you didn't watch the games

i'd bet mental

they comeback a regional grand final, whatever, they have nothing to gain but seeding

but i'd like to see them pull this off against a better team in internationals

i don't know if they will implode now, but something tells me this team will later in the season

they did win against prime fnatic in 2023 and choked in the internationals

yall think they going to keep the same level for bangkok?

i mean it looks good but it's nowhere as good as their og logo. if it's only for jerseys its fine

why would they downgrade to this?

I have this weird feeling that G2 is gonna choke idk why

vit has played against weaker opponents, but I have them winning 3-1

now this is the valorant i like

sentinels performing like that after one bo3 and two bo5 is insane. and g2 looking clean as well

can't wait for bangkok

no

only person with aura in that team is valyn

why downvote, he was igling in stage 2 and an off-season tourney in turkiye

3rd igl tourney, actually. but yes, he's the goat

save me a spot
