This looks interesting, if benkai leaves and mindfreak picks up igling.

That's 2 years ago, and not in any international event so it was probably just experimenting stuff on qualifiers.

Could you see f0rsaken or Jingg playing Sova? I really don't, and davai is going nowhere from what I've heard, he's been playing with something too.

I've seen people talk about him but I still can't wrap my head around why he would join as a 6th man.
He's clearly gifted, so gifted that he destroys Jingg and f0rsaken on ranked and 10 mens, but that's just ranked and I don't really trust the tier 2 stats.
He could be the next best player in the world, or he could just flop as many did before and doesn't make in a tier 1 environment against players as mechanically gifted as him and solid structure teams.
Joining as a 6th man on PRX tho, is not really the best of ideas, since he's probably never playing, Davai is their initiator and I don't see him replacing Jingg nor f0rsaken who have proved so much in the past 18 months.
Maybe some of you have some input or informations on what's happening with him joining PRX and could clue me in.

He was praccing with them already, I doubt it's a bait

I think this is an obvious hint

No idea why he would join as a 6th man tho, unless he's still enjoying his break time, or he's replacing someone?

Are we starting to see that genius's influence on TSM.
They weren't such favorites, especially with the guard and M80 on their group, but they surprisingly dismantled The Guard and are looking very solid.
The Kanpeki pick up also helped, but strategically they improved a lot, and I'm enjoying the way they play, maybe that genius masters winner who should have been on a franchised team is showing, or maybe I'm wrong.

Derke will win you the qualifier, Yay will get you the masters.

Classic Toaster crumble, and derke trying too hard to be the hero but you can't do that against the Champions winners.
Loud deserves it for their mental resilience first, before anything mechanical or tactical.

That's where the difference between good players and the best player in the world shows, and Derke seems to be just a great player.

I've said before the NAVI game that he's such a big choker when Fnatic are on the line, but got downvoted to hell by the Derke fanboys.

He's crumbling, almost lost them the round.
He should give half of his salary to chronicle for that save

I am blaming Toaster for that T side on Lotus for sure, he probably didn't do bad fragging wise, but his calling on the easiest map to attack was bad and showed a lot of overthinking until there's 20 seconds left.
So this is on his calling + Derke not fragging.

Yes, that's why he's missing easy op shots that cost them a thrifty loss

He's the biggest choker of all, can't remember the last time fnatic was on the line and he showed up.
He has icebox to redeem himself now, he claimed it's his map

No one cares about sentinels bro, it's not 2021 anymore

How many times has fnatic choked? Their attack on probably the easiest map to attack was horrendous, Toaster overcooking it way too much.
We might witness another historical Fnatical choke.

People disrespecting Sean for a misquote, he meant that fnatic have better strats and loud are better mechanically, nothing too deep or bad about that.

I'd say Ange1, I don't blame him cuz he's IGL and his calls are always immaculate, but god sometimes he just runs it down and goes 5/20, some other times he doesn't miss a shot.
During the whole of lock/in he isn't missing a shot, probably did some hard work during the off season.

In what part of the tweet did he pretend to be muslim?

What's wrong with the tweet you shared?

No idea why people got offended by this, I love TenZ and Kyedae but this is just a normal question, anyone in his place would consider taking some time off, and Yay is a serious possibility.
Wish Kyedae recovers soon because they're such sweet human beings and don't deserve this.

Because it works? And because it's the best agent on valorant in 2022? And he's the best player? So it makes sense, he made top 3 in every event with Chamber and was always one of the best players at every event.
When jett was meta same thing happened, he spammed jett and destroyed everyone, I really don't see your point you're making.

And you reached this conclusion from 2 games with C9?

Yay was rated by scouts and everyone as the goat of valorant, aren't you in denial?

I have no agenda against anyone, I like leo and he's a really good player, but comparing him to yay? That's some shameless stuff

Don't disrespect the best player the game has every seen, disrespecting Leo and Mwzera who achieved nothing so far is not comparable.

He dropped 27k and 320 ACS on that map, marved was second with 160ACS, and he was 4-1 in duels against redgar's reyna, so i don't really see what you mean when you say that he lost to redgar's reyna.

Bro litteraly comparing Yay to Leo and Mwzera, not worth my time.
Have a good day.

Yes, of course he abused chamber back in Berlin 2021 too when he had 280 ACS and Chamber wasn't even a thing.
Yes Navi is the best team in the world, and they all are top 5 in their roles respectively, except yay proved over 2021 and 2022 that he's not top 5 in his role, he's top 1 overall and it's not even close.
Btw, calling someone dumb and using laugh emojis is not really the way to argue.

I agree with you on the salaries part, but do you think he'd rather not compete than take a paycut to join Liquid? I don't think so.

You really missed the point which is that yay will never join Navi and yay will never join ascension.
For what you said, yay proved to be miles above any player in the world including the Navi roster

Yay joining navi is more probable than him playing ascension, and Liquid have enough funds to pay yay, that's why they're the only EU possibility.

Recon and Oni

Over-what? It's litteraly just a possibility lil bro, even Geddes discussed it yesterday.

It doesn't make sense, they don't have the money for yay.
Liquid and Vitality are the only ones with enough funds and Vitality looks really good already.

It was for fun, and even then he didn't like it.

No one said it magically fixes everything, they would need time anyway but the best player in the world being a free agent is a good pick up for any team other than NAVI and Fnatic, especially when the roles would fit when redgar can play smokes and Jamppi is really good on Sova.

On paper, NAVI are still the best team in the world.
But Liquid with yay would be a very strong competition

They still have NRG, they can never be finished as long as they have the FNS/Chet duo.

Liquid looked so bad in LOCK/IN, and a roster change might be necessary.
nAts can be the best player in the world, and even when the team were in shambles he played out of his mind.
Jamppi and Sayf proved to be insane in the past.
Redgar remains one of the best igls in the world.
That leaves Soulcas sadly.
I'd put redgar on Omen/Astra, Jamppi back on the sova and yay on Chamber/Jett.
Maybe I'm wrong tho, and Liquid just needs time to be good, but they seem like a good contender to sign yay since they have the funds and they need an upgrade.

Unless aspas goes ballistics which is not really improbable, DRX looks like favorites.

He's the reason C9 dominated in NA in 2021, and him leaving was the reason they didn't make an international event. So yes he was one of the best initiators in NA coming into franchising.

No he doesn't, Crashies was the best NRG player player in Lock/IN and was the best initiator in the world last year.
I doubt anyone can replace Crashies, especially from NA.

I don't know if you're doubting that he's good or if it's a genuine question.
In case it's a genuine question, a lot of teams that got into franchising kept their previous roster or most of it since releasing them and signing a full new team will be hard on every level, so most of the other talents who weren't on franchised teams sadly didn't get to join even if they were sometimes better.
Some examples are EG, 100T and C9, they could have upgraded most of their original rosters but they only made few changes.

He's been so consistent for so long, he was probably one of the best initiator in NA alongside xeta, trent and crashies of course.
Sad to see that only 2 of them got a spot in franchised when the others are better than most of the initiators in franchised league.
Rooting for him and Trent to get a spot in T1 next year one way or the other, or even this year if possible.

Why do people think Vanity can play any other role other than smoker? I've never even seen vanity on a KJ or cypher, not even on sage

What Hiko said about swapping Cryo for Yay would be interesting.
Bring back the raze/neon Asuna, he looked so good on those and make Yay a full time jett/chamber.
But i don't know if Mikes is willing to play double duelist on some maps or play jett at all, so it's probably not gonna happen, but I really think it's a good idea.

No he didn't, he was negative in 3 of them, and that's not even my point, I said facing elimination and he went negative/ bottom on all of them

Maps when Fnatic facing elimination:
Fracture vs DRX: 13/15 bottom of both teams
Fracture vs FPX: 13/16
Bind vs PRX: 16/20 2nd to last
Split vs KRU: 13/19 bottom of the team
Vs Sen in 2021 he was bottom on all maps
You see the similarities?
