100t has had so much time to create new strats and things because they qualled through challengers 1. they win this match almost guaranteed just because of that(I heard something about Steel on viper on icebox).

the issue with putting both SEN and 100t is that they'd play in the upper semis. so one of them(probably SEN imo) has to make a lower bracket run. it probably comes down to envy vs SEN(or maybe 100t) in the lower bracket final and that match could go either way.

almost losing twice is not close to flawless XD. They didn't purposely throw, they just made all the wrong moves and decisions.

close to flawless? they should've lost to T1 but T1 threw 2 maps, and IMT also threw haven. It wasn't flawless, the other teams just threw harder.

futbolist played awful the in challengers finals it was the worst they've played in forever

they did not deserve to win challengers 2. T1 threw 2 maps and IMT threw one map. SEN has no right to be in challengers finals as the 5th seed. 7th seed maybe, not 5th.

Of pros it’s like 70 of players it’s like 30-50

because in online play that just doesn't work, how is japan supposed to play with kazakstan, how is panama supposed to play with USA and Canada, its divided by regions you can be in valorant. the last chance qualifiers I think are continent based(1 from eu, 1 NA, 1 latin America, 1 asia) but by that time I think it will be an so it will be fine

this aged well

C9 is so much fucking better than IMT rn so ur wrong.

well it was accurate until SEN vs ABX but

3rd might be an overestimate but I think they can beat fnatic, guild, gambit, TL and oxygen, if jampii fixes his mistakes this week before challengers finals, TL have a good chance to beat BBL, but I don't see that happening, scream could also just pop off, but with what Nukkye and other pros are saying about the Turkish scene is what swayed me to put BBL 3rd.

thats not true, people will watch the grand final of the latam challengers finals no matter what. because the grand final will be a plan event between those 2 teams in Mexico city(at least if things go well).

not until relatively recently, and the CSGO team hasn't done that well.

I guess so, but you can't use players playing in Brazil as reason why the Latam scene itself can compete. I haven't heard things about the Latam scene from the Brazilians as I have about the CIS teams from EU players like Nukkye about Turkey and CIS.

no its obviously steel dur dur dur. XDDD. but in seriousness the best opper is probably still wardell it might be penny but jetts don't op as much anymore(or it isn't as significant at least).

the lack of futbolist being in the finals by everyone except the Turkish commenters(who have the right to think futbolist will make it, they are such a good team) is surprising. I believe futbolist beat FPX 3-1 or 3-2. although I would not be surprised if FPX lose to Fnatic or Guild in the Semis.

hes voicing his own opinion, him calling you biased is to be expected. I was called biased for putting NA and BR so high and VS at 15th.

the top 30 are somewhat similiar, I rate Na slightly higher than you, but some teams you have in top 30(KRU and infinity) I'd consider to be around 45-50. The only team in Latam that I was impressed by was LDM, and well their owner scammed them so they don't have money

them struggling is not beyond suprising tbh, them being "tier 1 NA CSGO" orgs doesn't translate to valorant on a 1:1 scale. there are certain orgs that have flourished that never really got into CS, like 100t (maybe SEN tooo idk if SEN has CSGO)

its good I missed guild on mine in the one I posted on spike a few days ago. surprisingly they have the same titles, you got inspiration from it?

in the trailer there were cannons, so maybe it has something to do with them(unlikely though) there were also ladders(although that is very unlikely we have ropes already) and I heard something about turrets too.

Split has the ziplines/ropes. that is split's qwerk. Icebox's is also the ropes I guess, but they have a horizontal rope. I also think tube itself is Icebox's qwerk.

People think it can pass 200k easily, I agree with you purely because of turkey. after the FPX vs Gambit Match I think some people from Europe and NA will find the TL vs BBL boring(it'll still be a good match, just not FPX vs Gambit)

if you mean this because they are becoming stale and not because astra is a necessity I agree, but teams don't need to run astra to be good.

vorax is a good team, faze is a decent team, he shouldn't include SEA teams if he hasn't watched them. F4Q is not that good, neither is Vision strikers. The KR region is very weak compared to others

wah

a

I think you missed Sentinels bud XD

they have been the 2nd best team imo in turkey for a while(over oxygen). You judging them off of a 2-0 loss is going to make them look bad. Its like judging VS off of their one loss or SEN because of the SEN vs BBG match. Using your logic against you makes SEN and VS awful teams. although I might have over estimated them compared to guild who I have definitely under-estimated

if we are talking specifically about NA its TSM(stay mad TSM fans), although with the recent performances of Geng, IMT, LG, and faze being bad the requirements for being tier 1 is kind of low in NA rn, only teams I'd consider tier 1 being Envy, C9B, Xset, SEN, 100t and Geng and Maybe NRG. if its also other regions it might be CE calling in EU.

with the abilities you have it's just a mix of astra and viper. Maybe instead an ability could have water rise up in an area and slow people in it down, the third ability could be like a mini breach ult that is a tsunami wall that bounces people up into the air when it hits them, it would be like 2.5-3 sage wall pieces long and would be relatively easy to avoid in open ground, goes through walls & stuns people. the ult could be a viper ult esc thing that you can see into and inside of better except at the center, if you are inside it near the edge of it you can see people outside of it and vice versa, and it heals teammates slowly and the water agent himself faster. you could also be able to float in it and shoot semi accurately while standing stilll(like if you were shift moving zipline, if you are moving you get running accuracy on zipline) and the water agent more accurately(as if you were standing still on the zipline, if you are moving around it'll be as if you were shift moving on a zipline)

1st round

Decider
BBL vs GMB 2-1
GLD vs FNC 2-1
Semis
FPX vs GLD 2-1
FUT vs BBL 2-0
Final:
Fut vs FPX 3-1

putting futbolist below the other 2 teams is like putting SEN below LG and GENG, futbolist is just a level above them and imo the best team of the 8.

1. Futbolist
2. FPX
3. BBL
4. Guild
5. Gambit
6. Fnatic
7. Oxygen
8. Liquid.
   Futbolist is way better than FPX, you could rank the other 6 teams in any order, just putting guild and fnatic above liquid being the only defined thing.

He igls...

hs% means nothing you can have a 30% hs and still go 6 and 18 or have a 6% and go 20 and 10

out of this qualifier yes, there's still 2 more after this.
