my friend in canada earns six figures and can hardly even afford three meals a day
meanwhile the government focuses more on "trans youth policies" than putting a roof over the peoples' heads

it's probably sayf

unfortunately the canadians ruin canada
edit: i am not talking about the average canadian citizen, i'm talking about their society as a whole

as the lakia of valorant he gets a pass

KRU signing melser over mazino after 2022 is still baffling

aint nothing wrong with letting yo girl get some action

nice try diddy

karon is a better omen than tenz. that's not even a bait post.

bro's just using this for every thread he doesn't like now

pretty good

they really could've just moved the igl role to mako without dropping stax, but t0rmi
mako's igling looks immaculate though, bro sees through every fake and stacks the right site every time

buzz is underrated because he doesn't have a lot of flashy plays and also has a spray heavy shooting style (like sacy)

issue: jett is an entry character

not only would they be the most successful roster, they would also have done it in the shortest amount of time. definitely.

EDG lower, they are not better than PRX or TH

eh PRX reaching top 4 with this performance is going to be hard
7-8th is expected and G2 or LEV have a good chance of making finals though

so you're just using this for anything now?

yes, the quality of play was significantly lower than possibly all the other tournaments we've seen so far, most likely due to the emergence of a new meta and teams having to adapt to it.
sentinels won that tournament because they were the best team at getting good in a short time period, which although distinct from how other teams win majors (by being the best team when everyone has sufficiently prepared), still deserves credit.

jett smoke radius decrease is crazy, 0.6m radius decrease means 1.2m diameter decrease which makes it stupid easy for jett to be spammed on entry, and also prevents jett from some entries such as ascent A generator entry and haven B (jett's head will poke out of a smaller smoke) you want to nerf jett more than raze when raze is a better agent rn?

also 2 mollies for phoenix doesn't make sense, whole new post plant strategies will be built around phoenix, akin to when viper had two mollies that lasted 3 billion years

"afreecatv valorant invitational" lol
r u proud that SEN beat G2 at the "sen invitational"?

SEN mentality:
"we needed a break"
"no prep time"
"i was in extreme pain" (valid excuse but still)

?

cNed - 53.5% winrate (MVP of 13% of the matches)
TenZ - 60.4% winrate (MVP of 15% of the matches)

can you take your time to appreciate how insane mwzera is? without a doubt the most talented player to ever touch the game

I'll try to explain briefly why I think he is the best player in the world
Despite his insane aim and movement
The best way to know if a player is a good duelist is RAZE. There is a BIG difference between a good duelist and a jett abuser
If he is a good duelist, he needs to be good with raze.

heat? not good with raze
aspas? not good with raze
xand? not good with raze
tenz? not good with raze
cned? not good with raze
scream? not good with raze
d3ffo? not good with raze

Thats why I think he is undoubtely the best player in the world. If RIOT by any means decides to nerf jett and shift the meta we prolly not gonna even hear names like cned and tenz again :>
He is not killing 40+ per map because when he joined VK he was forced to play a different role because heat is already a main jett... and lets be honest, every single duelist nowadays gets 20+ kills per map because team and setups are basically built around you (even steel managed to get 20 kills with it https://www.vlr.gg/29398/sentinels-vs-100-thieves-champions-tour-north-america-stage-3-challengers-playoffs-gf/?game=46692&tab=overview)

whoever it is don't listen to emea flags

a chinese team or talon could definitely get 13-0d by one of the top tier teams

SEN best hope they get EDG

if OP thinks SEN are hiding strats they are also hiding strats
otherwise they are both cooked

it makes me cringe how bad he is on neon
bros running around like he's good but has no idea what he's doing

hanni mid, minji and haerin clear

overcooked buzz neon makes me tweak

overcook

this is true. rb or zest would be doing much better

i <3 flashback
gay for him fr fr

their fracture wasn't very good tbf

unfortunately no

bro ate a bit too much fish n chips

bro the americans are sleeping rn aint nobody is arguing with u

tbf 80 is only 16 per map in a 5 map series

yuh a lot more teams have expressed their confidence in playing against prx playstyle

i <3 u canadaman

just a big sentinels baiter similar to bulky and swyv, wasn't online when u usually are

t3xture had 105

i think that we'll see fpx's peak at champs which is going to be enough to give any team a challenge, unlike edg who probably had no chance against the top 5 teams at champs 2023

thanks :0

still remains that sen haven't beaten a very good team in a while, even if it wasn't their true form. i realistically can't rank them higher

https://www.vlr.gg/368271/real-top-10
grouping up teams that are difficult to order to be as objective as possible, only trying to make the most valid of gaps

1: GEN
2-5: LEV, FNC, G2, TH
6-7: PRX, 100T
8-9: DRX, VIT
10-12: FUT, SEN, FPX
13: EDG, TLN, TE, BLG

18 round diff is a lot though, maybe competitive but it's not so much that we can call it close

what does it take for a chinese team to "look good" in your opinion?
EDG were for the latter half of 2023 the 6th best team and FPX probably were on a similar level at Shanghai.
is that the minimum expectation?

EDG is honestly pretty dog, even at their best they never even had a chance at beating top teams
FPX look like they can change that
