Don't have an account on there but my personal 2024 AOTY contenders are between
Imminence - The Black
Alpha Wolf - Half Living Things
Darko US - Starfire
Could name a few more but I'd be surprised if anyone on VLR even listens to metal
The Optic/NV/NRG core has been far more consistent from 2021-2024 than SEN has
SEN wins Reyk 2021, NV doesn't qual so
Both teams make Berlin 2021, NV is 2nd place
Both teams make champs 2021 both teams grouped
Reyk 2022 Optic wins
Copenhagen 2022, Optic top 3 finish
Champs 2022 Optic 2nd place
Lock In NRG top 8, SEN out first round (against FNC so i'll cut slack)
NRG make Tokyo top 3, SEN doesnt qual
NRG grouped at Champs 2023, SEN doesn't qual
SEN win Madrid
Neither team quals to Shanghai
SEN make top 8* at champs
International Success we have
SEN 2 Major wins to Optic/NV/NRG 1
Optic/NV/NRG have 5 podium finish at majors/champions to SENs peak non winning major placement would be 5th-8th at Berlin 2021, or 9th-12th at Champs 2021.
Overall appearances at internationals (Excluding Lockin as all 32 teams have made it)
SEN 5 - 7 Optic/NV/NRG
the highest 2 people have atleast 4 pickem matches wrong, so nobody has a 100% perfect from group stage.
Not to diss on the allat cus it's just statistics proving what everyone already knew
Mako has been arguably the best valorant controller of all time solely based on being a consistent top 3. It's why DRX has kept him/"built" around him
not from LATAM/BR but Reta seemingly is the best from LATAM, been hearing praise all year and theyre easily the best in the region right now, I think they're gonna be top 3 at ascension if not winning it outright.
Y'all rlly can't let the guy rest that's crazy
damn bro does not look it
if he's retiring than thats a huge F, hopefully they get a good replacement for him on Zeta
How old is Laz, him retiring sucksss
I can name atleast 5 american cities that statistically are worse to live in
Oh fair, depends on where you go I guess. Theres definitely the stereotypical "detroit" spots that are geniune shitholes, and I wouldn't say the city itself is amazing but its better than half the major american cities of its size these days. Crime rates are down. Granted if the big 3 of automotive didn't continue to leave the area we'd be doing alot better.
I haven't ever really stayed in hotels downtown so I dunno what thats like if thats what you're referring to. But I agree with the sentiment of it not really being a top 10 city, cus even in Michigan its not a top 10 but its this guys list so.
Fellow Detroiter? I mean yeah its been a shithole but atleast downtown is nicer nowadays.
Also its spelled Lansing not Lancing for @CanadaMan
Lamest and most scripted group draws I've seen, always EMEA v China and APAC v AMER. Where's the mix?
See ya Chet, F for Victor cus that likely means Crashies is gone, end of an Era 🫡🫡
NRG 2022 was pretty solid and close to making LANs but never was able to fully secure a top 3
Right now? No, but probably top 10
All time? No, but also probably top 10
Been saying he was good since NRG late 2021
Crashies was always a top initiator in NA until this past year or so, but 2020-2022/early 2023 so saying he snuck in is crazy.
Asuna has always been a decent player, never quite top 10 but he's never been bad in the time during 100T, on both good and bad rosters around him
Jampii similar to Crashies was good in pre franchising, now is kind of a mid player but I wouldn't say he's bad.
TWT became Fluffy Aimers

Thinking Men just kinda stopped playing tourneys after relegating during split 1
Not really an unheard of ideas but I'd be cool with it
no, fun on this game doesn't exist, merely getting by as it slowly drains your sanity more and more
its getting very hard to support this team man
nah fr, i just came back and i already hate it
Its probably NA bias for NA commentators, likely the same with BR casting (I dunno I don't watch BR stream, someone can correct me if i'm wrong)
and to be fair, furia and mibr haven't had much good outside of furia the last 2-3 weeks
yeah he's better than most but he still has been a mad glazer for some teams/players at times
he was always the consistent above average factor on c9, pre franchising he was in the better half of NA initiators, but him and vanity are buddy buddy so
yeah caster glaze is always kind of annoying, like im an nrg fan but sometimes seeing babybay or vansili glaze and im like no its an asinine play dont cap
every caster has been guilty of this just some are worse than others
I think they need a superstar like yay to turn this team around
s0m, saadhaak, chronicle, f0rsaken, rb, zekken, and sayf all have i think?
can't 100T lose out and miss playoffs too in spot of EG?
aka its unlikely for them to make it, but NRG would need the following to happen
If they beat C9 here, the C9/KRU game doesn't matter as they hold H2H over one of those 2 due to all 3 finishing with a 3 way 5-5 tie
100T/EG whoever loses that game has to lose to LOUD/MIBR afterwards and likely have it be cleanly
If they win they have H2H over KRU/C9 if either of those finish at 5-5, 100T and or EG have to lose out as well.
NRG being better than they were vs SEN and G2. KRU and C9 playing like ass are the 2 combos there
