Thank God they finally disband. They're trash fr

Agreed, they kinda threw it against TG and 100t ngl. They very easily could've won against 100t had they just started out the game better, especially shroud. Bro was asleep the whole game fr. I don't know if it's cause he was sick or what but it's a shame honestly.
The guard was a little harder and they could've closed it out but they were already playing at a really good level so I'll give it to the guard

true true. Its just like how Loud are actually bottom 12 cause they finished in the bottom 12 and how Xset are top 8 cause they finished top 8.

I dont think so. From what weve seen of sick on smokes hes been REALLY bad. Hes throwin so many rounds and i dont know if hes trying to compensate for the firepower or whatever but just based on how hes done on smokes previously ive been majorly disappointed especially on attack halfs. I think Shroud did better on Smokes than Sick did back in stage 2. If they arent able to keep zellsis i would love to see sick back on flex

Id say theyre also above 100T, it was just an unusually bad game for them the other day. Also I dont like this excuse when ppl bring it up cause i dont think it affects play that much but p much half the squad was sick on the day. (now that i think about it, maybe thats why shroud looked like he was literally asleep in that game)

NGL with the way NRG, EG, SR, and C9 were looking yes, i would say so. Also I think they wouldve won against 100T if they played the way they did against SR but they had an unbelievably slow start to the point that they only really turned on at the end of Haven.

yea idk why hes the duelist now, i feel like that role doesnt fit him at all. Hes a safe player and a clutch player, he needs to play for mid round and end round so that he can get full impact. I play in a similar style to where im really weak early round but once theres more solid info im able to really help my team. I think this isnt gonna work cause rn its looking like theyre just fighting a bunch of 1v1s

I'm not proud, bro did so bad in this match, he looked like he was literally asleep

bruh this is at the same time a bop and a flop

I dont care which region is where, all i know is that Sideshow and Bren are PEAK casters. The only thing they lack is hype for the result of a match

man this fucking sucks bruh, i was feeling good as well tonight

mine is also disabled i think its a SEA problem

Ngl I take this TG 2-0 Faze
If not then it's TG 1-2 Faze and SEN rematch win against TG in the lowers

this team yes but specifically for Moose and Bdog and MAYBE Mada, theyll probably make franchising or at least they deserve to make franchising

Moose and Bdog specifically are the gems of LG/SR. They deserve to both make franchising

tbf curry used to be cracked but nowadays he just doesnt perform any better than his average good performance. Most players fluctuate up and down but curry either plays at his mediocre good level or plays at a bad level.

He never said closer = better, he's just saying the competition is there whilst as in EMEA the 8th team would have NO CHANCE in beating the 4th best team. It's just a lot more fun to watch. Not taking a look at the scoreboard anyone with a brain would be able to tell that this region is no joke, they have crazy execs and the confidence is massive in winning out the rounds which always makes the rounds super back and forth. No team backs down just because they got destroyed the previous round it's just banger after banger

You clearly don't watch SEA if you genuinely believe that. If you're talking about a year ago then sure but the SEA competition has risen A LOT. It's a Mishmash of so many different styles and the coordination is unlike any other region (other than Drx when they're in good form).

Typical 100L take

The guard are probably 4th best this tourney so far and Sen is right behind them with SR and C9 even below that

Is this guy wearing right now?

fuck this guy has the shittiest pickems and he chose SEN to win FUUUUUUUUUUCK

You think bdog wouldn't turn up? I think will is definitely good and ive always vouched for him but bdog is unequivocally one of the best players in NA

This is exactly why we have and need franchising for NA

So ive been seeing this a lot in pro play and especially in my ranked matches. Its a sage wall that goes towards the site ropes instead of going across or horizontally towards yellow box. Basically the SEN wall that they kept using in the game earlier.
I was thinking of strats to stop the wall from being broken which would probably involve some nades or anyform of pressure towards the opponents right as the wall is going up. So I rewatched FNC v FPX to see what FNC were doing whenever they went to plant on B and I saw that they utilized the wall towards yellow that blocks off the snowman sightline towards B main. So the fact that the best Icebox team knows that the straight wall towards site is a bad one and instead use the horizontal wall yet there are so many teams in the VCT all over the world that still use a terrible wall that easily gets broken and doesnt really benefit the planter in anyway since they can be seen from both snowman and top site even IF the wall isnt broken just is beyond me.
So I wanted to ask why tf do ppl still use that stupid wall instead of using the one that clearly is far more beneficial and still provides an easy plant even if one of the blocks are broken. I really dont see any benefits from the wall SEN was using and honestly it just makes everything that much harder

Ill do a mix of bias and results

1. Faze
2. 100T
3. SEN
4. NRG
5. EG
6. C9
7. The Guard
8. SR (they havent improved significantly since the first tourney they played with this team)

theyve played 1 match together, tho that match was definitely a banger

as someone mentioned earlier a rivalry has to be equal or a competition but SEN v 100T definitely isnt/wasnt. 100T won literally 1 time against SEN which was in First Strike

meh 4/8 maybe cause i dont give a shit abt SR anymore, theyve let me down so many times
(yes ik my flair is contradictory)

derke will peak again, yay will peak again, tenz will drop off cause hes gonna start playing chamber,

honestly this has been the same where i live and ngl its kinda concerning

you living under a rock?

aggression doesnt = PRX
they dont have anywhere near the level of coordination in their aggressiveness that PRX does. They just play like a faster more aggressive Optic

sen are literally winning but ok

He's not that great for the role that he plays

I definitely agree that a lot lack in creativity and that SOME did copy them like starting to play neon but the chamber positions thing is just hard copium

no doubt indo will make it into franchising cause they require at least 1 in franchising and indo is also top 3 regions in SEA and probably most of APAC as well

maybe square off the design a bit more so its more efficient with the space and it fits desktop vlrs simplistic style

no i dont think he was ever overrated. Hes just a good initiator and thats about it

actually yea that one never occurred to me... maybe because it turned out he was trash and never accomplished anything on stage

true

the fact that you specifically say 2021 just invalidates your claim cause he was absolutely fucking nutty that year other than on split

boaster is valued so highly because of his work ethic. I dont doubt that he is the hardest working person in the valorant world and he provides so much value due to this in the form of strategic creativity and difficulty in antistrating fnc

taiwanese blunder

its almost as if cs has been around for so long and so the big teams have established themselves and have had enough time to be both the biggest and the best

here you go literally 1 google search and the first link is this

bro really is 1iq

;(

bro's a little late in the head

thats what i would like so that PRX can win by default by just being better than everyone in this tournament
