theres gonna be a new map so remove one of them from your list

a little late to the party

i don't know what goes in someone's mind when they say they hate prx

W delusion

Regional International DRX

Check the vod of FNS around a few minutes before the 5-7 scoreline on Sunset. Nadeshot would be talking about Boostio getting a tattoo and something then going 2-10 and then FNS said to chill on Boostio and asks him a question. You can check from there.

Braindead G ?

Fuck is wrong with Nadeshot, bro actually got really mad over a simple question and joking attitude. He can try and pushes other people's button its all fine and dandy but the second someone does it to him gets all pissy baby. Pathetic actually. Boomers like this always ruin the mood for everyone.

fosho we aint losing to bilibili though

Honestly it should've been 3 win minimum instead of 2, it would probably fix all the "bad teams going" "good teams not going" issue we have right now.

It's a 2 win minimum rule to playoffs so it doesn't matter anymore I think.

1. SEN - Schedule problems, they practiced without IGL the first week before Stage 1 so had no time to readjust their strats so they're just getting read more and more since vods are out. Plus they are not in form.
2. LOUD - Same issue as SEN but more severe as they did not practice at all before Stage 1 and they were scrambling to fix things up by removing Phoenix from their comps and just doing standard-ish valorant.
3. Furia - They're not even trying
4. Liquid - Just dogshit Valorant overall, 0 excuses.
5. Bleed - Korean guy into full English team, there's gonna be comm issues especially with a rookie IGL.
6. T1 - Unlucky schedule and circumstances. They had to play twice for the first two weeks and with an injured player and iZu not in form.

I think the most underwhelming team are the teams with no known big issues like comm issues etc, had a lot of time, not crazy unlucky schedule which I think points to Liquid, ZETA, GE, FNC. I don't know about other teams.

almost got me there but yes this roster would go to a grandfinals and ruin it all after behavioral issue so one of them gets suspended and can't play the grandfinals and boom substitute comes in, they had to call in lenne and they go 3-0

Surf is good but come on, f0rsakeN is more known for his flex role than his sentinel role this is not a 1 to 1 comparison. How about you compare him to NDG, Foxy9 or Meteor?

They look unstoppable against bad teams and look stoppable against good teams that can match/surpass their aim.

FNS only weakness is he can't predict different playstyle and can't adapt fast enough to counter it. f0rsakeN can do it but he sucks at playing normal disciplined Valorant. Combine the two together they can dominate the world imo + aspas aim is insane combined with f0rsaken.

Tbh right now CS tournaments feels like too much. Maybe a little tone it down and we can find a middle ground where it works nicely for both players & viewers because imagine the fatigue of the players, they have to play one event, Riot puts out update, they have to change their comps, not enough time then come next event and everything breaks down for them and we get lower quality matches. Right now we just have too little matches that are too close together instead of being more spread out. I feel like if Valorant had 70% of amount of CS matches while being spread nicely across the whole calendar to make for a reasonable off season and good spacing between matches it would be good.

Right now its just so bad, you get multiple off seasons a year if you lose 3-4 games. That's definitely not good for the sport when you want to watch the team not the winning team. LCK is nice, a good 18 matches for each team per split. Val 5/6 games per split is so ass.

Experimenting against a really good team kind of feels like.. you're shooting yourself in the foot if you do that especially now when every game probably matters for the Championship points. They had a working blueprint on how to use Demon1 but insisted on doing some weird shit with putting him on Raze, and when he was doing good he was mostly aim diffing the enemy team instead of being a good Raze.

Imo its a troll move to get him on Raze, but its NRG who knows. They might just pull it back, go to Shanghai, meet a Chinese team, Demon1 might say some shit like "I don't even know their names" "We fosho ain't gonna lose to Dragon Ranger Gamimg" and then get upset twice, exit Masters Shanghai in just the group stage.

I'm not a coach but man its insane how I feel like any other coaches would be like "Yeah Demon1, permanent rifle duty on some Jett/sentinel/controller role"

But Chet is like "Get OP as much as possible" "Yeah play Raze buddy on your low ass sens"

I don't understand why he would put the headshot machine on a weapon that can hardly do multi kills. This guy like shot 3 people in the head in a span of a few seconds, there's no way anyone is putting him on OP besides just a few rounds.

His dumbass thinks its funny, edgy and cool maybe. Anyways fuck Westjett & maybe Shahzam idk what he did besides copyright striking people making videos on him.

I'm not saying anything about better its just that his agent count is higher than any other flex, its literally 12 vs 8 in Victor & Smoggy

Also like I get ya theres some competitors in those two but imo its not close to his level. (insane glaze i know)

Thank god I never doubted Asuna

f0rsakeN plays Raze, Jett, Neon, Yoru, KJ, Cypher, Kayo, Breach, Astra, Harbor, Fade, Skye all at a top level. I can't think of any other player who is this versatile.

insane bait brother A+ for the lip reading tech

they literally have good ideas, at least i think better than GE's sunset & solo viper bind. the times they lost were massive aim diffs, they might have a chance against GE bcus they're not that great firepower wise.

i can see the vision, kinda meh tho. they wanna play post plant & plant denial but thats impossible to do bcus the enemy would just take map control from them and aim diff them as well.

"Who tf thought C9 were favorites" was your reply, community expectations was that they were favorites,why are you talking about "after C9 v PRX" it doesn't matter the results if we're talking about what the community felt at the time. use your fucking brain, why are you questioning me not being able to read if you can't even read what you typed

BEFORE/AT THE TIME. You people never read it seems. A team with Yay was considered favorites. Yay, Leaf, Xeppa & Zellsis in one team was considered very good for NA. If you people actually paid attention to the community back then, people thought it was a superteam cause it was a collection of some of the best NA players in Xeppa, Zellsis, Yay & Leaf with a known quantity IGL Vanity. Sure it didn't work out after that DRX match but they were once considered favorites.

DFM 3-2 GENG

Never trust Team Liquid. They will always disappoint you no matter what.

Old clip dog lmaoo

the manager is someone related to jessievash?

I love Monyet but Jinggg is just better. Went positive first game & top fragged overall with high KAST%

Because they have a population of 1 billion and their playerbase is estimated to be huge and can bring in massive viewership. It don't matter if they're ass as long as they have EDG going 5-6th every Internationals. They also have potential to improve, cause as we've seen they have the teamwork and the ideas, just lack experience and mental for it.

bro puts demon1 at S+ after he under performed against SEN but puts Alfajer in A make it make sense

Kickoff barely started and people want him out, thats a fake fan I don't care what anyone says. The bad times barely started and we already whining like babies, I don't like it. If it was a Sen situation where its 2 years of dogshit then I'd get it but PRX were runner ups, they've been good and just started being weak now AFTER 1 TROLL EVENT AND 1 SERIOUS EVENT.

https://www.vlr.gg/pickem/e0269c8b as predicted.

No more whiffs. TS please win, I don't want more SK teams.

Honestly, agree. But I think RRQ will be better the more they play. They just need the whole team to be locked in. Last year I saw everyone hit their shots throughout the split. But these past two matches, it seems like they lost their aim and probably only Jemkin woke up fully.

all am sayin is i've seen better

It's a bit sad that PRX did more 6 man shenanigans in this match but the loss is very deserved.

Team Liquid, more like Team Gas cause they're gonna get cooked #SENWIN (pls work pls work pls work)

?

Damn Bleed threw lol

Hope its a close match. I want a banger fr. Need to see Monyet popping off. Hopefully on Raze. Idk if he's gonna go on other agents, the scrim leaks were weird lol.
