I agree, but Larry is 16 and has a good amount of buzz surrounding him.

Thought I heard Shotup was trying out as sentinel and dicey plays a lot of Sky. That’s all I really know.

3 duelists and a Sova.

Sounds very faze to me.

Shotup
Babybay
Dicey
Flyuh (from an academy team)
Larry banks

Just about as good as last year.

Solid team battling to be Top 8.

People are allowed to be upset when someone is terrible at their job.

0/8

Jade had 100 ping and 20% packet loss.

Gg go next

If you watched arcane past episode 4 and didn’t like it…

You have shit taste.

Yeah. Jett was banned and that fucked sOm pretty hard. He is basically a Jett one trick now.

I also think NRG is a dark horse that will end the year in the top 8 and might upset a few top 5 teams.

I watch EU and NA.

Occasionally watch BR if a top team is playing.

I am much less impressed with watching a good viper wall or smoke than I am with good aim.

That’s why I watch NA and BR. All aim no brain.

Yeah. That elite Australian gameplay sure does bang.

Oh wait

Fracture games are such shit shows. You can tell the teams that practice the maps and the teams that don’t.

It’s pretty clear that if your team isn’t practicing fracture you are putting yourself at a big disadvantage.

The newest tournament for NA had agent bans.

I believe It worked like this

Both teams picked an agent that Can’t be banned. Then they picked an agent to ban.

Most of the time Jett was safe, but it affected picks like Viper the most.

In my opinion, the less viper the better, so it was a win.

C9 will troll so if they lose they have an excuse.

Cringe

This dude is making y’all look dumb af.

Don’t feed the trolls

8/8 bait

Caught a lot of fish with this one.

TSM fans are school age children from NA and they are all at school right now.

Looks like musashi isn’t going to get signed to a t1 team this year either.

Finest are such an odd team. Sometimes they seem incredible and other days they seem so mediocre.

And the worst team we had representing NA still made the quarterfinals.

Our two other teams choked.

But that’s beside the point. 1 tournament in an entire year that we didn’t either win or make the finals, and still people think the region is somehow bad. 1 head

Have difficulty reading too I see. Wouldn’t expect anything less from 1 heads.

One bad tournament in a year.

Just stating facts.

You’re just flaunting your small brains to go alongside your small dicks.

It’s hilarious cause NA had one bad tournament and suddenly they are worse than all Eu teams.

First lan
NA won
2nd lan
NA in the finals
3rd lan NA choked.

Now small brained EU troglodytes screech nonsense every chance they get.

🤡

Poop on the floor and then use the curtains to wipe your ass.

With only 2 spots at international lans I’m surprised NA have so many teams.

Weird move by riot to limit one of its biggest scenes.

TSM is a solid top 8 NA team but we will probably never see them at an international lan.

Mummay is their best player lol

Alive has 81 fk and 27 FD

Dude is nuts.

Finest 2-1

Gross

I like your list. Very similar to mine.

Nv / Sen
C9
100t /xset

Imagine if EU sent 6 teams and still couldn’t win LOL.

Could very well happen.

Se7en ate nein

Nv / Sen
C9
Xset / 100T

Rest

I think they had 3 because the winners of Iceland are auto qualified. NA has always had 2 slots.

Nv/Sen
C9
100T/Xset
Rise

Rest

Also…. Why does steel hate Jett so much?

Steels biggest weakness is his unwillingness to admit that Jett is a necessity in the current meta.

T1 should win.

The fact that they might lose is pretty damning for their chances of making the top 5 of NA.

He has said he won’t play for anything other than a t1 team.

Unfortunately he is a PR nightmare for t1 teams.

It’s kind of unfortunate for NA Valorant. He was a top 10 talent when all of this happened. He could have been an asset on a top 5 team.

Stars are a good team.

Loud wins 2-0

Lol Keloqz does well against a t3 team and the 1 heads come crawling out of the mud.

I hope it all plays out like a redemption arc.

Ec1s plays well enough to not be a liability.

Baby J solidifies himself as a top 3 sentinel.

Asuna becomes a world class Jett.

Hiko clutches the final 1 v 3 to push them into the finals of an international Lan.

Ethan remains a top 3 flex in NA.

*insert hopium meme here

This team will struggle to be top 5 NA.

UNLESS

Jett gets nerfed.

Asuna is arguably the best rifler in NA. A Jett nerf would cause their stocks to skyrocket.

Not better.

Steel was arguably a top 3 IGL

Nitro was arguably a top 3 Smoker

Ec1s was a bottom fragging EU IGL that no T1 team wanted in EU

Baby Js claim to fame was being good on breeze during qualifiers for a bad Faze team. The last game he played before Valorant he used a controller instead of keyboard and mouse.

With all of that being said, you would be nuts to think that this team is better “on paper”. However, both players have the potential to surprise and without the Nitro and Steel distractions that clouded the teams final push last year…. They might just look better without all that baggage hanging around.

Or that last paragraph could be a serious dose of hopium .

2 ez for pk

This is wild.

I recognize both team names but I don’t recognize a single player on either team.

Maybe I just don’t know EU as much as I think I do.

I would love to see EG become relevant.

I just don’t think it can happen unless they get serious about picking up talent.

They passed on a lot of talent this off season and look like a budget bin team.

Could have been

Boostio
Shotup / Corey
Pho
Dre
Aproto / Baby j

But EG just doesn’t care enough.

Have they even beat a t1 BR team yet?

You said downgrade.

Brawk = HUYNH

Johnqt > > chase

It’s just a weird move because of roles. However, you can’t say the talent of the roster didn’t increase.

Lol…. He had the best stats in the final and his team qualified.

Odd to attack the mvp of the finals
