You know another reason being this
I really like M80 players but we need some trash talk which Zap can bring on tier 1
2G ftw

Damn
We got JingggsFamilyLawyer switching sides before GTA 6

He is a troll as well so I wouldn't take it seriously atleast for now

If you mail them within few hours and you did not upgrade it then you can get the refund

South NA ☠️☠️☠️

Exactly, there should be mutual respect for everyone

Currently he's tryna reinvent himself but he is the first ever Valorant Champions MVP so that should speak for itself, his peak is pretty high but recently he hasn't been able to achieve the same levels I'd say but he has it in him

Yeah I honestly think it'll be either a Turkish or someone from around the Russian region

Nah I really liked them but this was the best outcome.
Only 2/5 would be allowed to play the rest 3 would simply not be eligible meaning a new roster would compete.

And with 4 ex tier 1 pros fighting their way back also does give hope to others as well, this is a route you can commit to!

Apeks winning really was the best case scenario.
Now only if PCF players were all 18 or above, I'd have a bit different opinion

Bro found a loophole lmaooo I wanna see how Babysasuke will actually react if this happens

Sliggy and Ardiis

Most probably. I mean crowd strike itself was so deadly for them so they might leverage other alternatives.
Or might make it similar to how Google does it whenever you deploy an application on GCP, have a thorough validation process and only after that approval you're allowed to go through with it

Still the highest hs percentage so a true GOAT 🐐

Well, to be fair, the last time he played tier 1 was like back in early 2021 when initiators only consisted of Breach, Sova and Skye.
He played a good amount of Sova, raze, phoenix and a bit of Skye.
I'm pretty sure, someone of his calibre can definitely own on Fade / Gekko / KayO as well

Chichoo was ridiculous the entire tournament.
It's just KangKang popped off the one game where it mattered the most and more than anyone and hence bagged the MVP

Dawgemo dismantling NRG is easily the best clip for me.
It had everything and the crowd reaction made it even better

Yep
Apeks ran it yesterday and destroyed with Deadlock utility actually winning them 3 rounds just by itself and having great value throughout
Raze + deadlock go well rather than neon + deadlock

Insane.
So many good tier 2 prospects but him especially

Absolute Cinema, peak entertainment

So does that mean your skill is still higher than bronze?
If yes then you should rank up pretty fast

For me, die for you will forever be THE Valorant song / theme
Grabbitz is insane

It was him right? With the highest hs% before he decided to step out of kc?
I know it's between him and XMS but I think it's Newzera

Closest game of all time for the number of rounds played, no?
18-16
11-13
18-18 (still going on)
Whoever wins, wins all 3 maps with just 2 round differential on each map which is the lowest possible difference

Texture
Meiy
Laz (not sure as of now)
RieNs? (Likeable dude, haven't seen anyone hate him and for his skill, like a top 3 player this entire year, I think he hardly has any haters)

PaTiTek and RieNs

GenG --> Insane longevity, 5 grand finals in a row and winning an international in that
Heretics --> May not have won anything but their consistency was amazing. Crazy to think they've made all International LANs and their complete roster has 2nd position as the worst placement this year internationally. And for that level of consistency, always being the 'second best' team, it's fitting to put them second here again
Sen --> One Masters win + top 4 champs --> good placements and result across the year.
EDG --> Love them, Amazing run at Champs with the win but they were getting absolutely bodied in the previous 2 events so I don't think for the entire year they'd be the one as they hard bombed out (losing like 26-9 or so, not touching double digits for quite a good amount of games)

Shout-out to RieNs man
All year wise, his impact was insane. He, for me was 2024's best player
S1mon just changed things and is now a world champion
But the real rookie has been Karon with accomplishments backing him up.

My heart breaks for heretics man
Especially Riens
He played his minds our the entire year.

Their main roster worst placement is still 2nd.
That's still an insane run for a roster with all 5 rookies.
So much more I'd want to see from them

Sure let's make top 3 champs which is a very good achievement but because we could not go farther than that, we'll totally implode our roster and drop Aspas and especially Tex (who has been their hardest hitter and entry fragging sentinel)

But the point would still stand
That means a relatively 'worse' team is beating the 'best' Americas team

That'd be great for the scene but how ironic man
Just back few months in Shanghai and Madrid they were mostly losing like 26-9 not even touching double digits across 2 maps
And now they're the finalists

LET HIM COOK 🗣️

Nah this is too real now

So then TSM is winning champions

What happened to Sen after they won Madrid happened to GenG now
It was late but it happened and they underperformed.
Still one of the best runs in a year in VCT history.

@TMV

Sen isn't even my favourite org but this is true.
Everything is a fluke apparently

Lmfao tell me you didn't watch the series without telling me you didn't watch the series

I'mma be unhinged it's everyone on VLR.
Everything is a fluke to someone.
No one will truly be a 'deserving' winner, someone will always be a <Insert quality> Merchant

-∞/8

That Trace out of all the 3 teams would be the first to make playoffs and that too, through winners bracket.
I knew FengF and Kai were good but this was insane.
That's good to see though that the Chinese Valorant scene is rising too

China deserves 1 slot

I honestly think it's pretty good.
May not have as much 'aura' due to certain legacy teams not making it but the level of play is pretty good.
Like who would believe that Trace would be making of groups from the winner's bracket back in jan?
Also teams have started experimenting a lot of stuff with variety of comps.
So far, W
