cause people like him ig?
people would lose their shit if someone like s1mple jumped ship as well, or if Tarik went pro officially. Granted none of the 3 are comparable but its probably because he's a popular esports name.

as he shuts down a rolling thunder retake from SEN
NRG hopium 2-1
NTH 2-1 EDG
Would rather watch C9 v NRG than SEN v 100T, clout match with choker teams.
Altho that might be flair bias and the fact that C9 is also kinda washed. But don't go and assume people don't care.
I would hope that they have some sort of structured tier 2 scene to keep the game as a whole alive in the pros. I actually like the idea of having a few extra slots for teams that can promote or relegate through a VRL style league to be in tier 1.
Jamalesh "Hazed" Cobbanath is an Indian professional VALORANT player for NRG who joined in October to step into the IGL role. He is well known for his fragging and flawless calling as well as his beard, which he hasn't shaved since converting to Hinduism
We heckin love NRG
2-1, if Guard keep their form up, they win. But if they get sudden PTSD from offbrand NA PRX then they could get beat by FaZe. Should be a banger regardless
Not a Guard flair but they're my 2nd fav team in NA. Glad they're back in Stage 1 form.
apparently every win is a fluke to idiots and baiters
another day another post arguing about regions
Split was honestly a mid tier map for me, long term idk if I like Pearl more or not yet, im at like 60% outta 5 ranked games (had it 3 more times but dodges from ppl) and thats the same as my Split record.
Haven i agree is more annoying now as retake simulator im at like 30% WR.
Split objectively needed the most work, so it made sense for it to be rotated out.
Good analysis, you needa get hired
13% here. Sucks NRG lost here because fav team, but its just realistic expectations.

Marved is 1 ofc
between Bang, Supamen, SicK, Apoth, and Vanity make up the top 5
Sayaplayer Good
Trent back to good form
TenZ inconsistent this year
Bdog Good
Leaf Good
Babybay Smeag is pretty alright
Dicey inconsistent
Boostio alright
S0m alright
Will inconsistent
Cryo good
Zekken good
Only map that was decisive was Bind, 100T still gonna lose to FaZe bro.
He's relatively new to KAYO in officials, so I think it'll take some time to get better with it.
least close*
Every other LCQ match has gone to 10-13 +
welcome to VLR. Braindead takes everywhere, most people with obvious dogshit takes are baiters. Anyone that tries to argue about regional supremacy 9/10 times is the same dozen or so idiots that fall into that category.
Thats also true, until 100T with Derrek makes an international we can't rlly call that either. But yeah, he's top 5 in NA
Too early to tell, everyones gonna have bias, the only objective answer to that will be after the Finale.
Power ranking wise, I'd say FaZe after being top 3 and then The Guard if they keep their Stage 1 form are the best two
Only real answer to worst 2 is SEN and C9 Because they were garbo in Stage 2 although alot of those hinge off roster changes, and while SEN just had another 2 roster changes and looked immediately better, they still might be the worst in LCQ, same with C9 as theyve had more time with Curry but today will see if they've gotten better when they play SR
SR, EG, NRG, 100T can all be ranked 3-6 in any order.
Again this is just my opinionated take.
if ur from the inner city i feel bad for you bro
In NA, potentially
Him, Eeiu, and Crashies are all really good Fade players.
ITW Shao, Leo, Zest, Enzo, Sacy, Stax easily all also outclass Derrek. Not to mention every other masters initiator may or may not be above him.
Still an insane dude don't get me wrong but def not the best fade.
im from detroit my favorite team is NRG
fr bro, like they may not be the best team in NA but I really fw them (flair)
Other good teams imo in terms of just being likeable in NA are SR, V1, EG
NRG
not huge clown fanbase
very loveable players (s0m is a w streamer)
they may give you heart attacks though when they play
But what Styling said
it is still too early to call ggs but i dont think anyones saying its a 2-0 for NRG yet. Both teams are really competitive which, by trend of LCQ thus far, we get 3 maps and 2 OTs
most ppl on here are dogshit baiters lets be honest
Facts, getting 4OTs, every match was close and competitive
Oh I'm not baiting, its just imo yeah TSM are ass but at the same time, theyre still well above most of NA's Tier 2. Like they fall into that top 15 in NA overall which is why i say theyre like tier 1.5.
Not making playoffs means that by your standard, V1, PKS, Ghost, SEN, and TGRD are all Tier 2 as well for not making LCQ or playoffs Stage 2.
I just can't think of many IGLs that are worse than Shahz
TSM still technically counts as Tier 1 Valo as of Stage 2. Imo theyre Tier 1.5
subroza maybe in Tier 1 NA
in LCQ maybe DazzLe, he's decent but he's not better in any realistic category compared to Valyn, Vanity, Hazed, Stellar, Boostio, and whoevers FaZes IGL, idk who replaced Poach in that role.
Spikegg confirmed Guard won, ggs
TenZ can be really inconsistent but he's still a tier 1 player.
Shahz used to be known as a fragging IGL, he's fallen off in both regards
Shroud as much as I love him isn't tier 1 valo pro, granted he's fresh out of retirement but he's shown some flashes.
But I agree Zellsis and Dapr are easily solid tier 1 players, and the former was insane on V1
