I dont know what people expect asuna neon to be like.
100t actively made a choice not to use neon.
They were so late to the party, and have no reps as a team with neon.

His neon was good in the past(before the buff) and it will be better the more he has reps on it.

Thankyou for this.
Also, I donot want to come across as coaching staff not doing their job well. There are some decisions which players themselves should take. Cryo has to take an initiative(if he feels like it) to play raze and neon/yoru and be the main duelist on all maps. And I am sure coaching staff would be thrilled to hear this. I want him to be like KangKang, who despite having a super duper jett, but not as equally good raze, decided to stick with it and gave it his all to learn neon/raze to a level which made his team use the meta properly.
I feel there are some calls players should make(like how bang made a decision to become a controller player to replace jcstani(who was one of the best controllers 100t had to this date).
I already gave a small TLDR at the start of my post, but this is great too. I just dont want to come across a dude who is just here to spread hate.

No, i love cryo and asuna both. He is mechanically so gifted. He just needs to make a personal call to be a more diverse duelist.

KangKang at the start was a crazy jett player but okay raze and okay gekko. He was bold enough to ditch his best agent and grind on neon. We can see how much it paid off. I want cryo to do something similar.

yeah. Asuna like a 2nd duelist when cryo is playing chamber or iso is great for the team.
Last year when they played iso yoru comp on haven, it looked great.
But if they only have one duelist on a comp, I prefer cryo to play that role moving forward to give team a role stability.

yeah lets kick asuna out and get another flex who can play skye/kay0/yoru/raze/neon and let the goat cryo play on jett forever and fill whatever team needs. I am just joking. No need to kick out anyone. They did good last year and I feel they will perform good this year too. I believe in them.

He is one of the best jetts.
Even if he is not on jett, he performs well/great on the agents he fills in like brimstone and omen.

Personal Opinion : But, at some point he has to go out of his personal comfort and start playing all the other duelists.

I love everyone on 100t roster either way

yes I agree. I am not a coach, and I don't feel they need to consider my opinions.
I am not posting the above to spread hate or a feeling that i know more than coaching staff and they are not doing their job correctly.
There are some initiatives players need to take, and I feel cryo stepping up personally to challenge himself playing all the duelist roles should be a personal call. No coach can force a player to play an agent they dont feel playing

TLDR : I want the main duelist Cryo to diversify his duelist pool and would like Asuna to be a 2nd duelist and flash initiator. There is no other top tier team in the VCT americas last season, whose main duelist cannot play both jett and raze/neon on a top level( Each had their own strong comfort picks but they can atleast play all of them)

<3

I know he is always a point of discussion when 100t lose. But hear my take.
I dont want to hate or spread hate on any player on 100t with this post. I just want to state my inner frustations.
TLDR : I want the main duelist Cryo to diversify his duelist pool and would like Asuna to be a 2nd duelist and flash initiator. If possible please adopt the meta earlier this time(no more we didnot abuse the agent when it was broken). Happy Thanksgiving for those who celebrate

I feel like his hate is kinda underserved. I know he was always not the most consistent duelist(will have crazy high peaks and crazy low lows) but he was very good when he was on a stable role throughout the season and had to fill in flash initiator/ non jett duelist roles in earlier years.
We have cryo on the team, who was supposed to be the main duelist. He replaced will who was a full duelist player and cryo was an update when he joined. Team was looking great with will on team and roles seem to have solidifed.
Post cryo joining 100t, he most of time consistently underdeliverd. He is the like one of the best jett players in the world when he has an OP on his hand, but man does he not have diverse duelist pool. His raze is not great and neon is not great. Asuna is the better neon and raze than cryo.
There is no other top tier team in the VCT americas last season, whose main duelist cannot play both jett and raze/neon on a top level( Each had their own strong comfort picks but they can atleast play all of them). He was great on brimstone/omen whenever he had to flex and give asuna the raze. But, the team felt so inconsitent. Asuna is a great second duelist when his team needs him, but is not as consistent as other top duelists(the reason why 100t transitioned him to flex).
I personally feel that this team needs a good duelist who can play all agents and I would like to see asuna as a 2nd duelist when the meta really demands it. I know cryo is mechanically very gifted and a consitent performer, but if all he can do is play only jett maps(iso and chamber are also in his pool but they dont play him much on either) for the next season, I would like people to be kind to asuna. I know cryo can play raze and neon if he puts time into it(eventhough not as good as the competition in vct), if it means the team will be consistent and roles are stabilized.

I want people to know that this is not a over reaction post from the loss to TIP. I have been a fan of 100t since the inception of the team. The only few times they were a real threat, was when asuna was either the full time duelist or when they had a duelist who can play both jett and raze. 100t irrespective of the iteration were always not embracing the most powerful agents when the meta is active. They adopted astra meta too late that they were one of the only few teams to not fully abuse it. They were very late to the chamber meta, they actively chose against the neon meta. No matter the choice, I still supported them. I dont want to come out as a salty fan from this post.

We can see in the bang retirement post that asuna is one of his best mates who both mutually inspired each other to grow stronger. The reason he is still in the team proves that he is a very good teammate(f*ck FNS for all the hate he generated for my boi). He filled any role the team wanted since he joined the team. He will always be my 2nd favourite player(after my #1 fav goat Rb) and will always support 100t and every ex-team member too.

Letsgoo 100t
Let us start winning again
Either way, I am satisfied this season with the performance(especially after the last year we had)

i get team has some role issues. But I am talking about his performance.
He is blazing guns at pistol round and ecos. But completely dissapers and comes back 1 or 2 rounds in the entire map gain.
Sad to see him playing like this again.
Hope Americas league, we can see him provide good impact on almost every round

🥸😬
Dissapointment every time 😢

Keep Asuna(make him 2nd duelist again) and Bang (Controller)for sure from the current roster.
Hope they keep the coaching staff unchanged.

1. IGL
2. Operator Player
3. Solid Sentinel player who can flex
   Lets see how much 100t invests into valorant given they have made it into franchising.
   Their investment into valorant content side should also increase considerably. Kydae and Hiko are only valorant content creators they have.
   **
   Looking forward to the future of 100t valorant.
   Sad for teams who didnt get in. Hope the background staff of those teams gets a place to settle into. Good Players have mostly no issues given the teams will look into them, but background staff are the one most affected by this.

#100

kennyS magic is what I need

NV is the most luckiest if it happens. Got easiest bracket, if 100t eliminates before NV, they wil go to Champions. Lets hope they face vs VS KEKW

Anything other than SEN vs 100T in quarters. God hell, they went through Gambit only to face SEN again. Riot, if you dare to do such thing. Anyway GG

Laz is the Hinata in middle school, soon he will find Kageyama and he will find his true home in karasuno. Great effort by him.

Was tenz playing in a team befor SEN approached him? Did anyone force tenz to continue playing for SEN?? NO. C9 also benifited the same from the deal tbf. Unlike the destruction Heretics saw after poaching, c9 always remained the same team with something missing to work. Also SEN didnot poach players to make their already existing team to perform better, they brought in a sub for a suspended player. TSM move can be said poaching, not SEN.
G2 is a good team, but saying they are not a team formed out of poaching is ridiculous. Getting to represent in Berlin is always a good sign, but a good combinatio of players from two of the best teams in EU once and a young star fragger wil still get you only 4th place? G2 can do better with the tac fps exp the org has and support they have.
Well atleast carlos poaches to get results. Reason he is the head of the best org(all games) rn.
But I feel bad for Heretics players who were left in the team and are in the shambles, just unfair for players of such good team Sadge

yaya, a single team flash, a single misplay, blame it one playss...... But in the end SEN manages to win maps,they take victories, also SEN doesnt Poach teams and players just to get 4th(Waiting for carlos to poach Cned just to get a good ranking after they exit berlin) and good thing is SEN make less of those misplays. They are more strong now than ever. Say about Gambit giving a tough fight acceptable since gambit is like all person equal impact team, but G2 has no chance.

Kappa yayaya for sure

didnt 100t ban a map because they had higher seed, thus split was 5th map??

Good to see hiko adjusting to viper kit now. He is holding the sites very good with the viper kit. God of baiting has found his kit KEKW. Also, it always felt he is a good sentinel player for his style. But the effort he put in sova cant be changed now.

let us see how much longer yay can maintain that standard. It was easy for asuna at the start as superstar, he got more problem maintaining it.

Should do something to pass time, if they are losing that fast. :)

100t were some of the few teams who dont get caught by timing as often in past. This new comp need more refinement in the timing and need to use only sova or skye. The only thing we can clearly see is fast execs in attack and defence. This is not the comp depth we know of 100t. GL in berling, hope you refine the comp and workout timings

Since it is B05, I give 100t an edge. No matter how bad they look against SEN, they play better against other teams. Well I dont know when they start getting comfortable playing SEN. It is not SEN completely outplays 100t, more like outguns extremely well. Ascent, Icebox and Heaven are there best maps, lets see if they win these 2 maps

it is okay to hate on one, but not their existence. Grow up big man, learn some manners.

Asuna is consistent most of his time on 100t since joining, if you say one match and tell he is inconsistent, then tenz is more inconsistent according your logic. Tenz and asuna are super entry roles, they worked way more than any other entries across all regions.
Well SEN fans can say anything now since they are champs, anything you feel wrong, is absolutely wrong.
Also, choke on LAN is not a worry to be frank, it is okay even if does half he does now. Remaining team is there to help him.
Steel was always helping his team, yes they were hesitant to adapt to new meta, they realised this is not a csgo, and now are changing regularly.
GG let NA dominate in Berlin

they are a very traditional team, they need an entry fragger. Once entry is done, they can manage very good. We can see each have their roles, like Hiko and nitro mostly control and thus we see them very less in action unlike ethan and asuna. It can backstab them like first half in heaven against xset where hiko suffered due to inactivity of his role acc to playstyle of xset.
But you can see that they dont care about stats, they care about win. They are verterans and know stats are not all. That is the reason they stuck with same roster for a long time now irrespective of critisicm. Also they are scariest LAN team now. Hiko and nitr0 gets a huge buff with LAN .
Asuna>>100t
yay>>nv
tenz>>sen
zekken>>xset
wardell>>tsm
Each team have their own demon, but the most consistent demons are Tenz and asuna, you know the team have something to do with it.
You have your opinion, lets see how they fare in berlin.

ya I thought the same, they were banning away maps which they think opponents could counter strat heavily against them or map as a surprise component. VS also did a similar thing in Korea, to avoid last moment dissapointment, they changed their map pool suddenly and qualified for berlin. Good for 100T, now we know they can play more maps comforatbly, excited to see split comp of 100T

HS percent is incredible in Korean Val. The overwatch aimer genes are still with in them. I personally prefer csgo aim but overwatch aim on some agents like jett are incredible to watch.
I specifally mean vertical aim special to ow. CSgo players have amazing aim but their vertical aim is kindaa mehh.

arent there two spots for korea in Champions. I mean there are two for masters 2, so both nu and vs can go to champions?? or am I missing something.
ps : Nice profile name, awful memories back again with the name. Sadge
