I think this list is now in need of an upgrade has been pretty long and some of them have even made it to Franchise

absolute demon the most underappreciated till now for what he has been doing. He is literally leading in almost every stat in a region which has imo shown most insane shooters this kickoff

It happens to the best of them but seeing how high his peek was he should make a comback again at some point of time

Even being from Pacific I won't believe this bro EMEA clearly has best level of play they hit insane shots every match + great unique ideas too everyday

Obviously they are better than him but like what I meant was he is not being clean with his shots rn he hits unreal numbers on head something he is failing to do for most parts on the stage. I think he has had a map or 2 in his true form nd they generally come as series nears it's end so if this goes map 5 I expect him to deliver a bit

Still not comfortable here somehow he was much better with aim in Brazil off season invitational idk if he is still having problems with true stretched res

Engh

If you wanna watch that sleep now and wake up by 6 you should catch the ending of the match or even more if its a banger. Just try and get up at 6 am since its a bo5.
Otherwise you may end up falling asleep in between or will have headache whole day tmrw

whatever happens should definitely beat the viewership number for kickoff and would probably be the most viewed kickoff match yet

I still feel FUT may make it over TH bcz FUT has made it look easy mostly but they have clearly not hit their gears on stage yet , they are better than what they have shown till now.
But all I know they may not even turn up today and lose to Liquid

Atleast EMEA is shooting back the hardest and if they keep shooting like this in Masters they will do well dw its not like they don't have good coaches and strats

It's Aspas he has numbers , trophies, consistency nd he has also defined the perfect Jett in Valorant Competitive. Him playing for Mibr has brought them up on viewership chart nd you know he is him when even half of pros all around the world including in India glaze him nd roamed with Leviatan bundle to pay their respect to him.(It also helps classic was good)

Talent was least of issues for most of our teams it looked like they just didn't prepare anything whole off-season. I looked at EMEA and Americas and then at Pacific and the difference this year has been wider maybe other regions improved more but honestly our SEA teams were trying wacky ideas and plays just for the sake of it just like PRX keeps doing. I hope we wake up and start playing Valorant with little more structure or we would be left behind by Korea and other regions obviously

wow quite a reaction when I myself am admitting he is a great player but there's more to this game than just cleaning heads bro, maybe he will get there in time where he would be insane but he is nowhere near there yet so plz relax and wait

nope he isn't one match in 20 doesn't make him an insane talent he has his moments ik he had some last year but this year has been much drier . He is a great talent who belongs nicely at this level but he isn't the future of Valorant or something anyone who believes that is just stupid. Multiple rookies who have come up this year like Free1ng and Yoman are able to match him. Infact today whole match Karon was clearly the better of two and Karon himself debuted last year just like him being a ranked demon without much pro play

He isn't mid but he is just another good player in Tier 1 he isn't like Aspas or that level of talent who can carry his team alone but some people unnecessarily overhype or overhate him

1. Aspas
2. G2
   Nd then you can put the rest wherever you want

not really Tenz himself was good last year people like Derke, Keznit and literally any great player who played in 2021 are still good other than select few who actually completely fell off later due to their own lack of same dedication and efforts

This the shots he hit , the highlights he had were absolute peak I haven't seen anyone look that unbeatable round after round in Valorant master and champions history and I have been watching since the very first. Demon1, KangKang, Suygetsu,Cned,Tenz,Chronicle also were insane in respective tournaments in whcih their teams went onto win but they were nowhere close to what Woot was pulling off.

Vcl India, SEA and any other match which may have storyline or hype nd obviously all ascensions

onur cooking the double duelist meta wow

as VLR understands a rolling 3 player system where atleast 3 from last roster transition to a new one. It doesn't matter who were the original 5 you started with ,if you always keep 3 and remove the other 2 and repeat.
But obviously we don't see it that way so simply any grp of same 3/4 guys who keep playing together

welcome back Sultan finally it had been long time coming

Yep Latam is stacked this year I am expecting a strong push in ascension from them.

The only memory I have of TSM is how every iteration of their roster was super hyped nd had huge fanbase beefing with Sen fanbase but TSM always ended up losing to random teams getting eliminated early and fans slowly gave up on them with time

Also I keep an eye on 9z team Nagz delz1k nd Taco all are playing for them this year looking to re-work the magic of past.

Nobody can forget man I was so heartbroken with that chronicle ace to deny in overtime. I wanted that underdog run to go all the way ....

Aspas arrives here in final boss form accompanied by NZR.

Lewn is impressive
Kush too
Socialbee is great
Minny
Profek
Kaajak

I think these nd names mentioned already by others is comprehensive list for now.

I believe in what Engh said - Last year he thought that you need to play meta comps to win but he realised with time that you can actually win with any comp as long as you understand what you are doing nd you put enough practice to make it work.
I still believe 2021 international teams had some of the brightest minds as their coach nd if they believe nd play unique comps nd win with it others can also do so if they are good at their work .

Thai ranked derby now broadcasted nd 'bought' to you by Soop

I have no idea how Tomix hasn't been scouted to play in proper Tier 2 with an org yet. He literally dominates open brackets with absolute no namer squads going +15-20 as his whole team goes negative. He is literally a very solid player if you are an org in India, JP or China looking to have a solid roster on slightly lower budget. Maybe he doesn't want to play as of now otherwise scouts wouldn't hv missed him surely.

Sacred keeps poking in GE's reply though I am sure if opportunity arises Jerrwin nd Sacred may just play for GE

It happens sometimes he is farming the region nd premier both this year, is part of Oasis gaming currently was good with VLT too

Its good to be optimistic bro but JA literally ran down whole GE on ISO in off-season and Venka diffed Patrick on worse ping in first match itself

All your top T2 teams nd 2 franchised teams played in this tourney, quite a shame they all got cleared by a Tier 3 player playing in worst region no ?- and yess btw the guy on 2nd also came up from same 'worst' region of valorant

Cmon bro that academy team isnt going to learn anything new sitting in India and playing with others there. There's a huge difference in big budget main roster nd academy roster. The current GE acad team's value you can judge by the fact that Jaggi rejected the offer from them and he is yet to play in Indian T2. This academy isnt a pipeline to main roster of GE , its being done so they can continue in franchising when re-evaluation happens

I mean evryone knows that if this doesn't work out just throw in the towel put 3 Indians give them a good import duelist and IGL(even they should be someone like Azys who have played so much in India that they care about Indian valo) and let them play. I mean at worst you will come at same rank you come every year just lose some more rounds how does it matter. Atleast Indians will play for their flag nd pride nd kids can dream that one day I will take their place and represent my country nd then we will win something

I am an OG here from the time DM played for GE lol but yess Skrossi's popularity was certainly one of the reasons. I still remember those days before Skrossi had played international nd choked :( we used to have Valcomp sub full of Skrossi ranked highlights

Our IGL !!

and most importantly the 2 who got the chance were former GE pros GE is yet to give a chance to any Indian who wasn't involved with GE pre-franchising in any capacity

GE was chosen bcz back then they had biggest fanbase in Indian Valorant, an old and reliable setup, past experience in Korea and had worked with Riot in past in LOL

not really if Riot wants both Orangutan and RNTX have structure and money to be a top tier org . They definitely have options

https://tracker.gg/valorant/profile/riot/RNTX%20rawfiul%20%E7%A5%9E%23BOO/overview- all time top 10 in world in HS% if you filter by good no. of rounds

what Rushi says doesn't matter bro they were supposed to rep India and well yeah rest everyone knows ...

Probably other maps are even worse also Dereyeon hasn't adjusted well to Korea at all his chamber has no value

Both are with RNTX atm Don't break our team plz xd

As much as I would love to see some success for passionate JP fans I think even GE needs this win if we want the confidence to do well this year. Hopefully a good match with #GEWinning.

damn UCAM got run over on Lotus

Izz clutch which happened in 2g vs KRU was top 1
