if FNS didn't have parkinsons maybe, but his fragging was never his strong suit as opposed to his calling

posted 3 months ago

def one of the best fragging IGLs we've seen in valo

SEN historically has been good against FNC

Like Galactc said earlier, I don't think roles matter for IGLs as much, as many of them also tend to be pseudo flexes. But playing anything other than Duelist as an IGL is probably the way to go. It also comes down to the strength of roles within the team as rarely is the IGL the fragger

Idiots can't comprehend rooting for multiple teams or even when their team is bad

I was actually pretty happy to see Crashies doing well over on FNC even after his last down year in NRG. Honestly he's been back to his 2022/3 form

Thunderbolts has been criminally slept on, I really enjoyed it and def would recommend to people to go see

Avoiding the avengers movies cus those are easy answers

It's a toss up between Thor Ragnarok, any of the Guardians trilogy, or Doctor Strange.

HM: Deadpool 3, Cap 1-2

I'm pretty indecisive as there's a lot of good ones that I haven't watched in awhile

The year prior, a miracle Last Chance Qualifier run qualified ZETA for Champions 2023, the organization's first and, to this day, only international event.

Should maybe note thats franchising, they made Reykjavik 2022 and Champs 2022

I dont hate this move, hopefully theyre improved off this

Love both teams but G2 take this, they havent lost to PRX since Reykjavik 2022.

Valyn > Boo, Bonecold. while Valyn and Boo both don't have trophies, historically Valyn has been one of the best IGLs in Americas since 2022, Boo only started to really gain note in 23/24 on Heretics as OGLU/GX never did shit.

Bonecold was good in 2021 and part of 2022, very short time period but he is still above most of the others below on that list

Beyond that good list.

Some people got some insane recency bias which goes to show they clearly havent watched VCT very long.

posted 4 months ago

Top 10 maybe, He still won a championship and has managed to stay in tier 1 valo for all 5 seasons of it. Nowhere near above anyone else I listed. Who else would you put on a top 10?

posted 4 months ago

bait used to be believable

posted 4 months ago

Zekken, T3xture, and Jinggg >>> Cryo.

Good list, maybe drop Scream, Demon1 down for some of the aforementioned

posted 4 months ago

probably, the recency bias is absolutely insane

no mention for all time for FNS, Saadhaak, Stax, or ANGE1 is criminal.

Boaster valid
Valyns been pretty good but hasn't won a trophy yet. Once he does he'd 100% be on there
Munchkin probably in the top 10 but can't in good faith say he's above any of the 4 I mentioned all time, but its close with Stax and ANGE1 currently.

IMO the list that way would be

  1. Boaster
  2. Saadhaak
  3. FNS
    4a. Ange1
    4b. Valyn
  4. Stax
  5. Munchkin

Guys like Boostio, D4v4i, and Nats could honestly make top 10.

posted 4 months ago

I partially agree but G2, GENG, FNC are def contenders and better than SEN. Beyond that in the scope of playoffs it's really a competition for 4th place

But I wouldn't be surprised if teams like XLG surprise people, and you can't really ever discount PRX and TL.

posted 4 months ago

I feel like they do considering they are coming off of a win vs BLG coming off a loss, even tho BLG had a day off and time to review, Wolves did beat them in CN playoffs before losing in LBF

posted 4 months ago

APAC toss up between RRQ/T1, depends on who chokes harder but rest is fine

AMER def G2 SEN. Beyond that it's a toss up between the 3 you named and the outside chances of NRG or 100T. The middle like 3-7 of America's are very close
z
EMEA. Same with America's there's the off chance that BBL, KC, FUT, TH be a toss up on who chokes more

China, if EDG don't make it id be shocked

posted 4 months ago

neither

posted 4 months ago

Top 10 sure, Top 5 is debateable.

IGL yeah he's good but he hasnt been doing it long enough to be considered top 5 for IGLs

posted 4 months ago

I hate that i swapped my pickem last minute on the TL/BLG match, i was going back and forth ever since the Nats news, had faith in Penny to make an impact and he did but it wasnt enough.

Not going to toronto but if its listed as a verified resale ticket its legit. Stubhub, AXS, Ticketmaster, and Tickpick are all legit sites. (Idk if the event is available on all of those). If you buy it and it shows up in your events you're pretty good. If you're worried about getting scammed you can just dispute it with your bank or paypal

top teams from challengers go to the ascension tournament, where they play against the other teams T2 winners from their region and if an ascension team currently in the league ends up relegated/fighting in the ascension tournament to keep their spot if they underperformed in tier 1.

For example teams like 2G, Apecks, BOOM, DRG if they do not win enough in T1 either go straight back to T2 or play in the ascension tournament against teams like ENVY to earn the tier 1 spot

Wouldn't hate this but Brawk also has chem with the whole team now, esp the core with Mada and Skuba. Also if Ethan has been able to IGL them to beating 2G, LEV, and playing 100T close in the EWC it might be better than last season in terms of his calling ability
