chamber is not foxy9 he is dookie
cooked list in general

if you think there are better players on raze than jinggg then there's literally no point of keeping him, it's much easier to drop him at that point for an actual role player.
paper rex is stuck at a point where it would be better to change the roster, but can't because clout and 40-year-old fully-grown "cutiepiejinggg" women.

easy way out of not getting grouped🫵🤡

geng, drx, t1

korea undefeated against china

heretics? you mean that t2 team with keloqz? what are you guys even talking about atp
MEMEA fans have lost it

bringing out results from 2021 is crazy

drx eliminated both emea bot teams (TL is too shit to count) this tourney lmao cry is free

put some respect on the 2022 champ, the event just ended and ur already coping

bangkok would be a really nice place to host an event. DRX taking home pacific's first trophy at the first asian major would be lit

what does "tweaking" mean? like confused? goofy ah vocabulary tbh but i don't really see any flaws in my logic.

what? lev crashed out 5-6th place with fnatic and sen didn't even make it to a single event this year... i think lev has potential but sen needs to undergo some serious roster changes this off season. probably about time to pick up an actual igl like dephh maybe

now that DRX finally lifted their 5-6th curse and made it to top 3 in the biggest tournament of the year i think it's time to talk about DRX in franchising

realistically considering they were this close to beating optic in the lower finals the top 3 (LOUD, OPTIC, DRX) are clearly in a tier of their own right now, and since LOUD/OPTIC are being butchered that gives DRX a huge advantage, especially with rb clearing the fraud allegations during champs and zest's insane consistency.

as long as we keep the roster consistent next year and don't fuck around, i think DRX is coming in with a massive advantage this upcoming season and the expectation should be to take at least one of the trophies.

im proud of this team, we go next.

p00p0r0x dont count

they were clearly worse than every playoff team other than trace

it was never about the players

a team with no flaws doesn't get grouped

in my mind i think it's because they've only faced the inconsistent teams during champs, even if it's extreme cope at this point i honestly just feel like they've just caught each team at the worst times and they are still only as good as when they lost to G2...

if they'd beaten a team like TH, FNATIC, or DRX i think my mind would change, since even though DRX and FNATIC are arguably worse than the teams EDG has faced they're at least somewhat consistent

deadass just responded to that thread😭

yeah i feel the same idk why but i still feel like EDG isn't good despite being good💀

idk why but i still feel like EDG isn't good despite being good💀

drop zellsis

nah t0rmi is just retarded

literally 0 reason on why lakia is the best option for geng has been given
is lakia tenz? what does he bring to the team other than "synergy" or "good util"?

jerseys aren't weird inherently they just looks like ass with all the sponsors and shit
but orgs have much better apparel so i would have to agree with u, weird if u prefer to buy the jersey

i agree that they will be better, better fragging and also the option to play neon
they would still need to resolve bad defense calling though

fine with me i don't think GENG can win again. it was a team built on individual talent and not coordination.

bro goes positive once every 5 maps maybe

just funny to see how lakia is invincible to criticism because "good util," pointing out hypocrisy

https://www.vlr.gg/378666/gen-g-vs-sentinels-valorant-champions-2024-decider-b
how do u drop 9 kills in 2 maps ur not even igling.. his utility cant be that good I genuinely believe that an immo player would drop 10+ at least.

boaster: 9 kills and flamed
lakia: 9 kills but glazed for "good util"

lev probably, i think sen was really weak in the quarterfinals, but lev is honestly just as up and down.

edit: im a retard

good, i hate b*n

fnatic were better

tbh they were just terrible in tokyo every game was a "throw"

DRX throws ranked:

Reykjavik 2022, DRX vs ZETA (self-explanatory, they could've won the tourney if they didn't go braindead after optic)
Champions 2022, DRX vs OPTIC (losing to eco map 5)
Champions 2024, DRX vs TH (mako godmode -> throwing)
Pacific League 2023, DRX vs PRX (reverse sweep and the worst lotus team i've ever seen)
Champions 2022, DRX vs LOUD (9-3 to 11-13)
Champions 2023, DRX vs EG (picking fracture)

respect swvyboi1.

when i wake up tomorrow DRX will have either won or lost (duh)
if they win ill find happiness in the fact that my team won
if they lose ill find happiness in the fact that SURELY DRX drop either t0rmi or foxy9
foolproof

me neither
drop t0rmi drop f0xy0 and well see abou tit

i hate b*n

he's not carrying the team, carrying would be if he's the only one or even the only one of two players who are doing well. that example is just a team diff

i challenge you to find a single game where lakia carried the team, win or loss
hell, i challenge you to find a single MAP where lakia carried the team to a win

you sampled 2 matches from boaster and i sampled 15+
even if you want to manipulate the statistics in your favor u can do better

vlr seems to almost unanimously agree that boaster is holding fnatic down and that he should be dropped because his stats are so bad, but for some reason they want lakia to stay.

boaster rating in emea league: 0.935
lakia rating in pacific league: 1.01
champs boaster: 0.82
champs lakia: 0.70

and while everyone clobbered on boaster after his game vs heretics (9 kills), lakia was spared for some reason (9 kills)?

however, note that boaster is the igl for fnatic while lakia is allowed to focus most of his gameplay on shooting.
so which is it? is the boaster hate unjustified or is lakia, a liability as i've been saying?

edit: drop t0rmi please

ivy zest rb stax francis yoman

im not a geng fan but yes i think anybody who wants to see geng become a better team would want a better player.

you're not wrong, zest was always criticized for not putting up numbers much like lakia.
even more similar is the fact that they were both known for their utility usage over anything else.
but the fact is that zest did have those games where he was carrying all of DRX on his back, while lakia's performance is always proportional to the team's performance.

i agree that i gave off the impression that utility usage doesn't matter, which is obviously nonsensical on my part.
i also don't actually think lakia is ass, it's not like he's the sole reason GENG were terrible in champs.
but i've been advocating for a change like this for a full season and i wanted to emphasize that it would've been a good decision after their terrible showing.

i genuinely think that GENG's run was a fluke, not because they shouldn't have won but because all the other teams were so weak.
