watch the chinese broadcast. im ngl i dont understand a single word of chinese, but i feel like they're gonna go crazy for chinese teams like japan did for zeta

i started out watching it, but i ended up switching to reading because i read faster. i havent read one piece in a couple of months because i like to let the chapters build instead of waiting each week

he probably got in an accident. he was celebrating their win. i do hope he gets better soon though

wont have to worry when they bomb out

nah ngl, i had to use flickr for a photography class, and i really like it. also there's so many pictures from the vct accounts i never knew existed

also nrg replaced 3 players(2 if marved counts as a core member). jdg only replaced one

Kinda like yay. They were the best in their region and predicted to be the best team this year, and then they fell off hard. People love to watch good things fall

I think we might see the return of plat chat watch parties. I wasn’t around for their old ones so I’m hype to see this cuz I’m a really big fan of the podcast

That’s fair, but iirc jdg were already playing on lans for china. This shouldn’t be any diff. And this isn’t like nrg where there were multiple player changes, it was just their igl. Shouldn’t the synergy still be there between the four players? I’m not saying that confidence or synergy don’t play a role, but I’m just so surprised with how drastic the change is from being able to contest with edg to being the worst in their league

I mean that’s true, but was yoman really the goat igl? It’s not like their igl currently is just being thrown into that role

Bro said 5’10😭😭😭

• bbl bottom b
• loud def lower than Sen. probably bottom of B cuz they’re losing sadhak and less
• koi should be middle c They’ve shown flashes of talent and I feel like they could do goodish
• g2 could probably be put somewhere in B cuz I just don’t think icy is A tier talent.
• if g2 and drx are A tier I feel like edg should be there too(understandable if you disagree. It’s probably just my bias talking)
• I’m not sold on fnc yet. I feel like fut and th are better but I want to believe in fnc

Besides that, great list

I’m surprised people aren’t talking about this team more. They’re the core of rare atom minus their igl and going into the season, I rated them really highly because they looked so good before, but now they’re the worst team in their region. What even happened? I get they lost their igl, but were they really that impactful? Are they the dfm of china?

Downvoted for edg being low

As long as edg have aura im all good😇

Oh for sure. I know it wasn’t like mean laughing, I was just surprised at how laid back and relaxed they were when nothing crazy was happening

They were still laughing about his kd tho 💀

OHHH LMFAO I DIDNT REALIZE

They were talking about dominos like two rounds ago(6-4 I think??? I wasn’t watching the score) and then at the start of the last round(7-4) they were talking about kiles’s kd

Wait that’s great what

This shit is so unserious 😭. Mfs are talking about how kpi are eating pizza and making fun of kiles for having 3 kills😭😭

I could be wrong about the exact translation since I don’t understand Spanish 100%, but I understand it pretty well

Each region

1. China
   • EDG
2. Pacific
   • GEN.G
3. Americas
   • 100 Thieves
4. EMEA
   • Team Heretics

Iirc he was burnt out from csgo and was really depressed and shit and then he made the move to valorant. Maybe he’ll join a dif fps and become the goat? I hope he comes back to Val and regains confidence

Wtf is this

virty, pa1nt, zeldris are streamers/t2 players from na at least

i said maybe

valyn is mixed iirc

valyn, takaS, maybe johnqt

i asked this before. https://www.vlr.gg/208310/is-there-any-black-t1-t2-pros-in-valorant

but chinese

He learned chinese last year and will use that to win over the fans and win everything https://twitter.com/100T_VAL/status/1650994056820936708

I mean he did say he had blurry vision in one of his matches

It means bad bait. 0/8 cuz B8

Meaning they’re predicted to win everything but lose? I deadass don’t follow football(⚽️) so idk what this means

It’s clear they don’t have one

T3xture getting the lan kill record and not winning is brutal

true. I just hope that the talent is able to do decently. I know havoc was supposed to be the greatest t2 Brazilian player ever and he was all set to sign to loud but then something happened and now look at him on furia. No shade to him, but I just hope they don’t make a wrong decision

Isn’t it 6 points tho? I feel like having phoenix ult be 6 is good cuz it kinda compensates with his bad kit. But there’s really nothing wrong with gekkos kit that it should have such a low ult cost

The cost is too low. We see teams farming the ult and getting it online by round 3 or 4

Nah I like gekko. Hes an interesting character and I want him to have a place in the meta, I just don’t want him to become so strong that he gets nerfed to the ground like Skye

Ult has to be nerfed in some way

I’m calling it, he will be the most used agent soon. His kit is just too good

Oh yeah that needs a higher cost

The speed of the flash, the pickup time, and the cooldown time

I’m not saying he needs a massive nerf, but making the wingman take full damage from mollys, making the thrash have only one use would be enough imo. It’s not that hard of a nerf and still makes him viable

Every piece of util is good. His dizzy is able to flash really quickly and it reveals where they are. The wingman is able to plant bomb/defusing so gekko is able to use his gun and shoot instead of being out in the open. Also the wingman can survive sm util when planting/defusing. His moshpit is able to insta kill if the enemy stays in it for too long and the radius of the mosh pit is massive. His thrash is insane. Being able to detain enemies not once, but TWICE in addition to being able to get info and clear space is so powerful. The most insane thing imo tho is the fact you can pickup the util again and the cooldown is so short. 10 seconds for another ult is crazy, and the pickup is really quick too. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if he’s nerfed before Seoul or afterwards cuz imo he’s the best agent in the game right now

Idk how you nerf satchels. Maybe you’re just messing it up?

The question is who do they replace them with? I feel like if I’m loud, I become a scummy fuck and keep them until the end of the season. I feel like it’ll be way too late to do well at champs(if they make it) if they bring in new players. Not to mention that’ll mean there won’t be any original players left of the champs roster so they’ll probably lose a lot of fans

Paper looks so powerful on paper 😭??
