who?

Nah their whole ass team is in the mud atm

What do y'all think is NRG's main issues? It's not like this core is unfamiliar and they have aimers but it just doesn't seem like they can get wins at the moment. Lack of firepower maybe? calling not clicking?

I did. he counts but he hasn't shown enough compared to other rookies like free1ng similar amount of gametime to a player like lukxo both are right on track to be consistent rookies to their respective teams

lukxo looking like the next best sentinel

xeus has sky high potential for sure. Has potential to be in conversations for best duelist.

good shout. although still early fs

Who is your rookie of the year (new players in tier one valorant) so far this split. I feel a sleeper pick is dos9

Would you take Chet in exchange for Itopata?

who?

Sayaplayer/Spyder

ur acting like he's the worst player on the planet. u have a personal vendetta against him or something lol

what's wrong with zap?

No imo yoru being meta is healthy for the competitive scene. Duelist players are forced to adapt and not stagnate - take people who one-tricked chamber for a whole season, for example. The duelist scene has long been dominated by Jett and Raze so it's good for other agents to come into the limelight for once.

Any up incoming T2 talents in any region that y'all think can make a big splash in the next VCT Season?

Nah SEN got it: 26-0 clean sweeps

Sign younger talents with high upside: MonSi, Paincakes, etc.

Possibly could have improved, I would not count them out

Riding off the coattails of the hype behind the OpTic Core but is now a shell of their former selves. Mismanagement, a team where multiple careers have been negatively impacted look no further than Marved, Demon1, Victor, crashies, recently Verno and bonkar. It's time to blow it up and say goodbye and admit that the Optic core is no longer sustainable. They should drop all of their older players and sign young American talents with high potential.

Stop acting like Ethan isn't also part of the problem

Yeah fs, young core with high upside

NRG really felt the need to drop him after only playing barely any competitive matches together just because he didn't gel with the team, and the team still looks mid af. Maybe it's time for FNS and co to take a good look at themselves and reevaluate the core that they so desperately try to maintain.

what are the allegations

Worst penalty shootout I've ever seen. Athletico robbed

you on the wrong site my boy

I think verno could def work although I still think nzr is a better fit and dropping him was a weird decision by mibr

I only name dropped Benkai because he's played with the team before. Although they should def pursue other APAC igls if possible depending on availability if you think there are better options

yea the coach feeds into the aggro inconsistent playstyle that keeps them from getting tangible wins

Pacific Teams are being overrated because of T1's masters win fs

Paper Rex need to change the team culture to not just take aggro but also play disciplined in certain rounds and they will certainly improve. If Jinggg does not fit his agent pool to be more flexible for the players around him he should be benched definitely not the only issue in the team, especially with the lack of a set igl but it definitely keeps the team from fulfilling their best potential. Paper Rex should get Benkai back if issues persist as he already has chemistry with the rest of the team and has a flexible agent pool.

If Jinggg does not fix his agent pool and the igl issues persist
-Jinggg
+Benkai seems like a reasonable fix to me. Lmk what y'all think

Broke the DRX curse, congrats on the well deserved win.

DRX have a higher ceiling than T1, they just lack experience. I predict that DRX will do better domestically and internationally later on in the year compared to T1 who will find early success.

The skins getting worse and the prices getting higher. Well done riot. You played yourself

Cryo switches to full-time duelist. Not the craziest idea tbh

Put some respect on FNS and Ethan my brotha

bros has unc status for a reason

Schaff. Nothing more needs to be said

Would improve the team ngl. At least making them competitive

most underrated player in Valorant

yea his kit screams second initiator to me. I feel like if you pair him with another flash/info initiator you will get the best value out of his kit

On a scale from 1-10 on the how overpowered is Tejo on the scale (1 being weak and 10 being needs an emergency nerf) ? Is Tejo going to be a must pick? Seems like we might be seeing a tejo meta especially his capability of countering sentinels and sentinel util.

emea: kc

Where is cNed?

Is Phoenix back in the meta gang?

Rossy almost won them a trophy so they kicked him off the team like Mourinho. Allergic to winning

Thanks to you my day is ruined. I hope you have a terrible Christmas

The fact that the SEN City Classic is a better offseason event is wild to me considering how much budget the Gwangju event probably was
