You are named Dark Lord 69?!?!?!😭😭😭😭😭

Half of these results don’t mean anything.

• NRG lost to Rapid fricking Lofi and they 3-0ed Gen G in the end

• Lev had to play 2 Bo1s back to back with Demon1 having food poisoning
  “BuT ThEy LoSt to DFM aNd ZeTa bro” ya and after that they won against Fnatic playing fricken clove and Fnatic ended up beating both DFM and Zeta. (Which btw they lost double pistols against Both the teams which as you can imagine usually is not good especially for Bo1s)

• 100t were literally playing their first match with 3 players on different roles ( Asuna on Neon , Cryo on Cypher and Zander trying to fit into into the team
  The Neon meta will likely be cooked with the nerfs so 100t can just go back to Asuna on raze maps and Cryo on Jett maps which would make them decent again.

• Sentinels honestly just kinda choked and Let’s not pretend like Sentinel's wouldn’t beat mith convincingly in a rematch after doing one vod review on their play style (Just look at what happened to Rapid Lofi after NRG figured their stuff out)

Both Lev and 100t are still good roster son paper and we have seen like 3 maps from both of them which gives us no info at all.

Sen just need to work on minor stuff their still gonna diff most teams on firepower alone.

I mean if this was the case every team that ascended would dominate T1.

Most of the teams have Star players that would dominate in T1 but the teams itself play goofy shit that works once and gets countered instantly in one vod review.

Mibr (I think G2 is the only team clearly above them rn and it depends on sentinels and NRG form)

Furia looks good in terms of firepower but there are still many macro mistakes that would likely get punished against better teams.

2g looks good as well considering the situation with zap. ( I think they will be competitive enough in the league but without spike for the first half of the year I dont expect anything)

Loud looks poor (Pancada, Dgzin and Cauanzin are fine) but tuyz looks bad on senti and V1nny is just mid.

For Loud, I would wait till Kickoff to see how well they do (and for lukxo to turn 18) and after that replce Tuyz with Lukxo and its a decent team again.

G2
NRG
Mibr
Sen
Furia/100t/Lev/ C9
KRU
Loud
2g (without spike)
EG

They need to give Lukxo some fast aging drugs or something cause they NEED him to replace Tuyz

If Mada is shooting well on the day I think NRG takes it or it’s a 3-2 for Gen G.

Again Sentinels already has beat Gen G and still played them very close in the second match (could just be a 50/50 match thing) NRG has already beaten sentinels convincingly but that was Mada on crazy form.

Verno diffs Yoman on initiater by a mile

S0m and Ethan can match Karon and Foxy9

Munchkin is diffing FNS by a mile no way around that

They would win the rematch against Mith with a vod review so but it was unlucky they had to face Gen G on the same day after a horrendous choke.

They lost double pistols in a B01 so can’t really judge them.

Its been one map it could be a furia situation where the first map is really bad

Brother its been one map

I think as long as at least one of Cortezia or Xenom live up to their hype would make this a good team. It could be an Aspas + less situation again (with either Cortezia or Xenom being the less in this situation)

I don’t know if BOTH of them will be good but in All likelihood at least one of them should transition well into T1.

If moose needed to be removed it should have happened Months ago, they have played several offseason events with him and any synergy the roster has had so far is cooked now. They will probably bring someone with more firepower but they will have to rework on so many strats and rebuilding team chemistry in the span of a month with no offseason events left and just scrims. They changed their IGL a month before the season starts and now getting in another player that will have no time to mesh with the team.

The removal of Moose is not the issue, it’s the timing that is so bad both for the player and the org. They had like 3-4 events to figure out if they wanted moose or not and they do it now.

It’s not that big of a deal. A couple of vod reviews will counter most of these T2 teams on the rematch but it still isn’t a good look.

Am I crazy to say most of the first matches look mid asf (We haven’t seen most of the teams play yet but based on past history of those teams it gives of that vibe)

I still don’t think Sen is bad tho I just think Mith looked good enough but if there was a rematch with Sen having vod reviews it wouldn’t be as close. I think Gen G game was kinda whatever cause I don’t even think Sen expected to lose and end up playing another match on the same day. All good tho the team will be fine.

N4rrate is good like it’s some weird agenda y’all got going on about him.

To say that N4rrate is a questionable signing speaks of no knowledge of the player quality.

It was one of those days where everything just goes wrong, they will be fine just the tilting needs be worked on.

Bind is so momentum heavy especially if teams win bonus it’s cooked.

That would explain the APAC champs performance

We can’t be dropping players a month before the season like does C9 have any standards

Fire power is there for sure but the macro still needs to be worked on. Another thing is the overheating from the players. Khalil is swinging into 4 people after getting an opening pick like what am I watching.

I mean 2-3 top level teams in globals is still good

Their not bad at all. The roles swaps all look good and they have reliable shooters.
Havoc, MW and Heat are playing their new roles extremely well.
Raafa is calling well and also is fragging decently
Khalil is the only inconsistent factor rn

Even at the very end of the season, they looked much better so we know the potential

I agree ( I did not understand anyhing you just said )

He had like one bad year I feel like another shot is deserved considering his past. That being said though losing Leo will likely mean FNC might not be as dominant in EMEA compared too Vitality and TH

What is this timeline we are living in 😭

YK what HenbabyH, you can have this one…

HUH

Bro like 80% of VLR is cooking NRG tf u talking about 😭😭😭

I think MIBR is better than NRG and 100t rn but who knows maybe their hard trolling against these T2 teams.

If they lose in a rematch (if we even get to that at this rate) than it’s much more concerning.

Honestly the NRG baiters deserve to be humbled 😭 we don’t need to get their ego so soon into the season so this will bring them back to reality a bit.

This is Valorant brother there is no correlation like that

“I beat you and you beat them so therefore I must also be better than them” it’s literally matchup specific.

It’s terrible bro I just played. Everything feels so much slower and the ultimate lasts for a much shorter duration.

All the duelist in Americas (Besides Aspas cause he is the most consistent and can play all 3 main duelists at an insane level) are more dependent on their teams util.

Zekken, Mada, Jawgemo, Keznit this year will realistically have better support systems compared to the likes of Oxy (Eveyone else around him is mid) , Havoc (Still need to see furia against a T1 team) , Silentz (2G have to play with a sub)

Icy and Tex imo currently haven't showcased that they have better individual mechanical skills compared to everyone else above.

100t is weird bc Asuna's raze and Neon is not on the same level as everyone above but Cryo on jett is very good.

I think ranking KRU anything below 6th place is trolling

They have many options:

• N4rrate can play Jett if zekken stuggles in regular reason and zekken just moves to Sova.
• He can switch back with Johnqt and become perma info initiater if it fits better for the team.
• Redux can be brought on the roster if things go really badly and they feel they need to sub someone out.

Bro has NOT seen Zekken on Raze.

Even if EG plays at their peak I just dont see a world where they get above 5th-6th

These were my thoughts:

Considering they lost double pistol on Pearl, the match wasn’t that close in actual gun rounds.

Abyse looks playable now (before it looked absolutely horrendous) considering it was by far their worst map in the current pool now it looks much better.

Johnqt and N4rrate both played well on their New roles. Zekken was comfortable on Jett as well.

Btw you can watch their highlights video on Sentinels yt if you want to see yourself how they did.

Thats why its a big "IF" Xenom and cortezia transition well into T1 because otherwise Cryo, Zander and Eeiu have proven to be more reliable players (Asuna sometimes on Raze maps and occationally Boostio)

Heat looks insane
MW seems solid enough on initiater
Havoc besides fist map was very very good (aim is there but some bad habits need to be fixed)

Their a Dangerous trio if the last 2 maps form can be consistently replicated.

Bro needed a warmup map fr

C9, EG, and Furia should all be replaced imo considering C9 and EG weren't supposed to even be in the league in the first place (Thx to Optic and G2 messups)

At least on the Bright side Sato and Lukxo are prodigies and will be insane next year.

Lukxo is literally 1vs4ing bro it might be over ngl

It would be funny if they get stomped in the 2nd map as well.

Loud beating KRU is where the real explanation is needed… Roster wise Loud is better than EG on paper (and Pancada, Cauanzin and Dgzin have much higher peaks than most of the EG players besides Yay)
