You can blame that one person when they are the IGL for the team. The IGL leads during the game whether that be calls, mid round micros or before the game even starts like strats/anti-strats/executes and retakes. You can't blame the one person entirely but as an IGL for a franchised team this is poor. Yes TenZ played poorly but NRG simply did their homework and FNS showed why he's leagues above as an IGL compared to the ones from lower level teams.

am i having a stroke or is your grammar just that horrid

Not after today. Having Victor play space creation and Ardis on KJ/Sage is the change they needed. Team looks a lot better now.

A player on the team eats beans on toast, scrambled eggs with ketchup no salt and tea.

Seriously tho this guy is just horrendous. No aim, no brain, wastes utility, doesn’t clear corners, baits team for kills to patch KD, can’t jump spot without showing his big belly. As much as I dislike it Shazam could do better…. Only reason he’s on the team is cuz Sykko is his friend.

Ok fine but where would you put them then as of right now based on recent games.

DFM roster - suggest

As of right now they just look decent and that's it. They looked good at times but commit way too hard on bad reads with no fallback plan. Cryo isn't adapting well onto omen and sage, his jett wasn't as impressive compared to a year ago. Average-good teams from EU would just slowplay and fold them tbh.

Only reason I put them above KRU and DFM is at least they showed something against BBL.

Ragdoll is a strong word as 100T almost lost to EDG who've only played 2 LANS and dominating their region. KRU and EG? HHAHAHAHA

Leviatan dismantled them and although their game against Loud looked close Loud looked way better in everyway. If they keep trying to force Ardis to play Raze they won't be able to contend the teams at the top. Victor would do much better on that role and Ardis should stick to Jett, KJ and Sage, his raw aim is wasted on space creation rather then just trading/ holding down post.

Zeta can improve as they have shown they can perform at high level but Laz's impact has dipped by a huge margin post chamber nerf, Sugarzero on Omen instead of Astra and the whole teams just a mess. The way the even have 2 wins in pacific is individual performance like Tenn vs RRQ and Dep vs GE who are both terrible. Need a lot better management

Not putting Aspas in there is criminal

By that logic VIT beating TL 2-1 and TL beating FUT 2-1 would make them the better team, or just because GE took DRX to 13-11 and 17-15 would make them top 10 international? Just because 1 team has an off game or good game doesnt suddenly make one team much better but overall performance. I like FUT (mainly QWI) but the reality is they are abusing Lotus and with time other teams will catch up.

You're probs right but they were really impressive in lock in. After this DRX game I would switch them with TL.

Results don't lie + losing Mazino really impacted the team.

Where would you put them

2 teams from China

I personally like them a lot but not enough results yet to put them higher.

It's a big dip in performance in comparison to 6 months ago from +20 every game to ranging between neutral

I'm saying they're having trouble re-adjusting post chamber meta.

you mean Haven where they lost 13-7 and he was on chamber?

It seems like the "star" chamber players of 2022 are having a rough time re-adjusting. Yay with his brief time on C9 didn't play as well as expected while Cryo is playing Omen XD and under performing on Jett. Ardis has lost his consistency with on and very off games. The players shining in 2023 are the ones who found it hard adapting to the chamber meta mainly Derke. Orgs overpaid heaps for this kind of performance. Might need a bit more time then regionals for them to make a comeback if at all.

Did Teremi offer him a spot as core member if he drops 30. Bro injected

I cashed out cuz suggest was lookin too nice with it

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA

There's probably only 2 castors I can think of that aren't completely clueless. This guy casting Prx vs TS just said he hasn't seen anything impressive from TS Fracture when they crunched TL 13-7 and Talon 13-3 in their most recent matches. Then you have Sideshow who thinks the entire pacific region are cinderella runners. Full of waffling and no real in-time analysis/description.

Do you think TL looks better now or 6 months ago?

This team is just a straight up mess from what it was 6 months ago. Dropping Scream and Nivera for 2 players that have taken a year break from competitive would've been fine if they had an experienced IGL to readjust the team, instead it's a 21 year-old with very low confidence in leading who was one of the more talented awpers who's now on fill. No anti-strats, poor reads (inexperienced IGL) and too reliant on Nats/Sayf for delays and first picks. They look comfortable on their own maps but completely lost on other teams' and tiebreakers.

Fix - Change IGL role to Soulcas or Redgar

Personally I find EU the most boring region to watch. Fnatic, Navi, Koi and KC (only for scream) are the teams I'd want to watch but the rest are so boring to me. Not much personality in the region. Pacific is a region where every team is watchable for me as they are very innovative and executes/retakes are done more explosively. NA is the personality region where most players are very expressive + more individual plays. Just wish EU was more entertaining.

who cares its not zeta

Even their family and friends are saying go next lol.

I'd like to take this chance to apologise to Global Esports. They are the best team in the world and will win every LAN for the next 3 years as the SKT of Valorant.

Adblock?

Because it's a tier 3 team taking a franchised spot. Real talent playing stuck in tier 2 while Global Esports is "fighting" for a spot in Tokyo.

How is this team franchised. Losing to overwatch players

Iceland is only known for being next to Greenland c:

1 - Sentinels

Best team in the world just got unlucky.

2 - Global Esports

This team has infinite potential with insane players like Ayrin.

3 - Kru

Dropping Mazino saved this roster and will achieve great things in the foreseeable future.

Every other team - zzz who cares

(On a real note) Brazilian fans at lock in were just straight up disgraceful. Despite Riots poor setup and management of the event, the ways you acted was humiliating for the country.
