Might be truth to the statements, but c0m has huge zikz and boostio bias. TenZ also biased because I’m assuming SEN have their eyes mainly on the people in their own group who are looking strong.

when you change the wording from fraud to disappointment this is a whole different conversation. The thread says fraud list, just because Bleed as a team underperformed does not mean sscary as an individual is a fraud. If you want to say the team was a disappointment I would agree, but sscary and fraud do not belong in the same sentence. No overreacting.

sscary was not “stuck in tier 2” if anyone paid attention valorant about 2 years ago he was one of the best controller players from apac no doubt. He chose to play in tier 2 for the bag because it’s well known that Bleed is loaded with money. Just want it to be out there that he is a known quantity. Bleed did not look great as a team, but I don’t think it’s uncalled for to hope for some substantial improvement. They have a high ceiling, but need to work on a lot to get there.

Anyone who underrates sccary can simply take their opinion and keep it to themselves because you obviously don’t know what you’re talking about.

I think no one’s talking about it because it’s like a known thing he’s pretty nuts. Kinda like Oxy bro was so good last year that people sort of forget to even mention him just because it’s sorta normal for him to be nuts. Idk if that makes sense that’s just how I see it.

Chet said that the comps NRG is cooking up are unique so we could get interesting comps maybe only chamber and double initiator. Everyone’s talking about Gekko and NRG doesn’t have a proven sentinel player.

Someone get this man his c0ck asap.

If you’re talking about VCL’s those aren’t run by riot they’re put under other smaller organizers so the production is always worse quality than the actual VCT League.

very excited for this, roster stacked with potential lowkey and MCE cooking.

I was very close one off each group.

bro you just based this off general seeding from the other regions this is just literally how a seeded group would look

any update on if this is true?

number 2 and 3 are probably some of the best Americas hot takes i’ve seen well done

If they seed it properly it will go likes this for each region

1 - 11 - 8
2 - 10 - 7 - 5
3 - 9 - 6 - 4

For Americas this would mean:

EG G2 100T
LOUD MIBR SEN LEV
NRG FURIA C9 KRU

In the article it says the groups will be seeded based off of “2023 performance” and it specifies that the seeding is unclear but whoever wrote the article and made the graphic went with the assumption that 1st seed and 11th will go together, but they didn’t seed the other groups based on how they really should.

11 teams btw.

This is the definition of a good hot take. Can’t say I would agree personally but there’s definitely an argument to be had. So many people just write some random opinion that isn’t even a hot take on this site.

Nice try MxS clears. You will see.

Loud were like 24-2 on Ascent at some point and idk which teams were the teams that beat them, but I think one was like prime Optic and then another one that I forget.

average mixed nuts enjoyer

not a hot take

this has potential to age well

it’s a fair argument honestly just a hard decision to make because that would open the door to many more people

There is a line. A given person must have a certain amount of familiarity with a role. It’s important to remember the famous of words of Bren. “You gonna get shot in the face, we gonna lose the round. It’s a gun game, it’s an fps.” “You get shot you die.”

i know what you’re trying to say but there’s definitely better ways of saying it than just mentally weak

It’s in reference to worldwide famed F1 they decided to try to follow up in the alphabet with G and then of course the 2 after the 1. G2.

Wait if anyone has seen My Hero Academia, the dude with the rocket legs could lowkey be a cool concept for a new dive duelist like Raze and Jett.

Also if you want to go down the mechanics route I don’t think there’s such a huge gap between Zellsis and Pancada. Obviously Zellsis is extremely under experienced on controller compared to Pancada, but it’s not like he’s playing horribly. I think he actually looks decent. It’s very early for him still, but nonetheless if this is the decision SEN has made I feel like surely it has to be the fact they favor the Chem and are hopeful in Zellsis to become a promising controller player.

As much as I want to side with Pancada because he definitely has been done dirty, I really do think in terms of chem zellsis just fits better. SEN has a lot of soft spoken players and just seeing them hangout lately with Zellsis they all look so much more comfortable and extroverted. Obviously we can’t see impact fully in game, but I just imagine Zellsis being a bigger impact during comms and high stress situations.

Yo during that time akrew weren’t like a random T2. They had just rolled like a bunch of T2 tourneys if I remember correctly and people were saying they were one of the best T2 teams at that time. I think they were just on a heater.

100% this one or the stax clutch from the same game

https://www.vlr.gg/event/1763/afreecatv-valorant-league

the real biggest off season tourney

Like how is SEN, EDG, PRX, and DRX all in one event and no one is talking about it. Also during the SEN invitational Rob Moore was talking about a “suspected” tourney or like a “possible” tourney. It just made it sound like it might fall through for SEN at least.

nobody is talking about it bro, i’m convinced it’s not real

If the AfreecaTV event is real we might get to see this matchup soon.

can someone tell me how to get a flair i literally don’t know

As a SEN fan I must say the it’s a show match excuse is bullshit. You can clearly tell both teams were fully trying. I will say though, why are people acting like MxS is a bad team. I do not wanna hear the T2 argument. Obviously the player majority in T1 is superior, but that doesn’t mean T2 is bad. It’s like everyone forgets that’s the only reason there’s a T1 and T2 is because RITO chose ORGs. Rito did not choose good teams to be T1. All the teams practice against each other. Listen to any analyst or anyone that actually keeps up fully with the Val scene you will hear them talk about Tier 1 and Tier 2 on semi equal levels in skill. Even scrim rumors say that a lot of T1 teams get shit on by T2 teams. This is loss is unfortunate, but I have hopium for SEN. Supposedly scrims are going good, the final puzzle piece for the team seems to be learning to bring that to matches. Idk if it’s a pressure issue or if it’s a confidence issue or what, but I have hope that throughout playing the off-season matches SEN will learn to bring it to matches and have a good season. My expectations are not outrageous for them. I just wanna see my favorite team continue to progress. This is my first time being an actual fan of anything and it sucks. Being a bandwagoner would be much easier.

got changed back so maybe it was troll

they changed it back

how does that math work
(i’m just genuinely curious)

is this that really old copy pasta thing or am i trippin

why do people not like the yo-yo guy

honestly not a horrible idea, but it’s a very niche play. the only map i can see there being good value would be like maybe ascent or split and for both the lurk would have to commit super deep.

this guy was the one screen peaking at every sleepover and ruined the fun of playing the game. “screen is right there so it’s fair play to look at it” type logic

soup

how do i get a flair

i used to love mada when he was on andbox and then right when he switched onto LG. i just got so tired towards the end of LG where it was just hit or miss sometimes it felt like. stopped keeping up on him individually but i would love to see him make a return. when his raze hits he is cookin

idk about harbor being a must, but i think breach we can all agree is needed right

i think you mean viper instead of kj lol, can’t say i’ve ever seen kj on bind
