He turned 20 today, let him celebrate, he'll be back

Indeed he was drunk

Sounds about right

My man no hitting a bullet today to celebrate

Happy Birthday to the Goat of Valorant and thanks for letting Loud win some rounds

(It is actually his birthday)

My preference is
Fut > FNC > PRX > EDG > Bilibili > DRX > LOUD > EDG

Hey, I'm great as long as FNC wins

Tbh all these teams need really extense tryouts and actually test those players for months. It's hard to tell from the outside but there is plenty of talent to look into. Yk all the comm stuff/synergy etc

I think DaviH is good but not specially better than any of those or other tier 2 players

Tomaszy is completely cracked and I think he will explode now that he is full time, but he is definitely a bet, and so is Benjy and the other guys and you just can't have 5 bets, because the likelihood of some going wrong and you not being able to make changes is too big

Wolfen was also full time for the first time last year and supposed to be insane and it has taken him long

Can't go with 5 rookies, wait for the market to shake and pick up some pieces

Actually correct

MIBR vs Vitality

Me too

Boaster can't be jinxed

Let's face it, FNC will win Champs, which means the only VCT Trophy FNC hasn't won this year is the EMEA VCT League. Does that make the EMEA VCT League harder than the international events? Think about it

Jk but FNC is winning champs

Idk what Fisker you remember but trust me I've watched all of the Japan league and he is absolute garbage and so were the other 2 Japanese on the roster. Yes 100% worse than Genghsta, nerve and exalt

And yes, exactly, yay was way better in international than something ever has (even tho he is kinda new), yet look how much he has struggled. I'm sorry it's just not justifiable, yes many tier 1 in yay's position would have done way better (Fucking Narrate averages 250 ACS)

Last years "Ascension" winner is currently our second best team

I think the world is where NRG does not want yay back not the other way around

I just don't think it's a fair comparison, that's it. But it's alright

Why would you want Acend to win if you can have TL win. It's just better for the scene, and yes also for the viewers very few people rooted for Acend

There is gonna be 4 non partnered in a 14 team league which is not that far away from those 6

There is no viewer perspective without an org perspective. if there's no orgs there's no scene

1st I would like to see Scarz play MAD Lions and see how big that difference actually is
2nd Dropping 138 is also harder than 27

I think franchising is perfectly fine, the only real problem is the long off season, but wtf does franchising have to do with that, that’s just poor planning. Same with tier 2, franchising is not the issue, it’s the circuit

People just uses franchising to as an excuse to blame on all of Valorant problems, when in reality franchising is the only thing giving some stability to this game which as you guys know are going through a a crisis due to the esports bubble exploding. The amount of huge orgs financially unstable is insane, franchising is a great way to give those orgs a guarantee when they invest

Something had way worse teamates

2021 is gotta be a GMB player for sure imo, 2 finals. Probably Chronicle

Yeah, 19 next month
Dryad's 23

I just can't support LOUD because NA is gonna claim the victory

If It’s not an EU team I hope it is EDG or PRX

He desperately needs to be put back into Initiator

Mazino Initiator instead of Klaus, that's his prime and he is a much better player

Yeah, several Lev players date some of the LATAM casting team

Shy is her boyfriend I believe, just as a random fact xD

He is not leaving Giants in a long long time

But actually fun fact judging by where he is from he probably also speaks a very decent Portuguese, might not be completely fluent but he has had to study Galician in school his whole life

Just trying to make fun cause those mf ranked them 15th and 14th on their power rankings

Nah why do you think they had him on raze on Split for a while and then switched again. Because Fiti has a better Raze? Definitely not Nukkye's Raze is far superior, it's because even with kayo, Fiti had to be the one entering the site

Org expectations by the start of the season were "making playoffs". Even qualifying to champs was seen as a major victory and extra achievement, but not the main one.

Ty man

Strongly disagree, Jingg is a pure entry, enters and kills everybody. Nukkye baits his teammates into entering and then kills everybody. Different

Sentinel is the perfect role for Nukkye, literally it could not fit him more. Selfish player that loves to play for himself, alone, focus on his crosshair and play the maximum amount of clutches possible

Hoody specifically wanted to be the sentinel and that's what he asked for when he was signed but with the time the team realized Nukkye is much more fit for it

The problem of those teams is not role clash. At least not in Giants case

Some people still say aspas is better than Less

Not too sure about the "cheaper"
Whole FPX core (4 players and coach) costed NAVI about the same as C9 paid for yay's leg

Well if FUT groups doesn't count then EG's group doesn't either sod that means NA doesn't have teams in playoffs?

Worse Champions NRG
Worse Year probably NAVI, if we count both events the same. If we consider Champions more important then also NRG

Me and my friends have never lost to FNC twice in a row either

Guess it varies but for sure 31 is not a retirement age

You're right Lw need to be younger, but I'd say 26 to 30 should be the prime of most field players career

Nowadays good players can very well retire at 34/35

Neymar is 31, Ronaldo is 38
Not the same at all, 31 should be the prime of your career
