No team will ever have the best in all roles

My take

Duelist : The Best
Initiator : The Best
Controller : Good enough
Flex : Great
Sentinel : Good enough
IGL : Great

Thoughts on level of each role?

For example,

(Has to be..)
Duelist : The Best or Great or Good Enough?
Initiator : The Best or Great or Good Enough?
Controller : The Best or Great or Good Enough?
Flex : The Best or Great or Good Enough?
Sentinel : The Best or Great or Good Enough?
IGL : The Best or Great or Good Enough?

stacked team

More fun without sentinel in VCT, pros be lurking and flanking more which is good to see. Or at least I enjoy doing so.

XI LAI

The one and only smart C9 fan on VLR

The team that abuses Tejo the best will win Masters. SEN got this, but not sure about Zekken on Yoru for Split.

Liar

Imma laugh if he goes Yoru again on Split. SEN won't get lucky nextime in the series.

Kess and Fireball are okay, the rest are mid at best.

They won't. But if they miraculously do, and you randomly choose me, give the reward to jawn.

Just general

This is going to be a good match. Both Neon players and Famouz is really good with the op.

SEN > VIT ???????

Still want to see Demon1's Jett on other maps. Maybe Iso as well. His Raze obviously isn't at that level yet.

Just shitting on the C9 fan for fun lol. As a Frenchie, NatanK looking good though :)

You're right, no idea what this guy is doing

Matter in fact, the whole team.

Do people still glaze Oxy? He's actually so bad against higher tier gameplay.

Aspas will destroy C9

Agreed.

Did I ever say he was not a good Jett player? I'm making a point that Asuna on Neon and Raze might be the better option and working around that comp, instead of Asuna on Kayo and Cryo solo duelist on Jett. Its 2025, you dont want the same repeated patterns of being unsuccessful.

NA FURIA

Dambi's Neon is easy to counter from a good team though.

Speaking for 2024. Point is Asuna on Neon and Raze may have more success rate this year.

100T seems to lose a lot of games now if Cryo is on Jett. Stick Neon on Asuna and maybe Clove on Cryo then I can see it happening. I'll laugh if FNS still plays KJ against a Tejo lol.

Their success, only at their primes. Its just for fun btw, everyone can interpret in their own way.

Then all regions should have that same approach and schedule no?

the teams that won the second round of upper (Loud, Sentinels, Lev and G2) go up to 13 days whithout playing.
You're right. This to me is so bogus.

It could be because of this shit https://www.vlr.gg/event/2301/challengers-league-2025-north-america-ace-stage-1/swiss-stage

Both, at his prime only though.

Nice jinx.

Who is worthy of being called Messi or Pele at this stage in Valorant? No one.

Do this for every game in VCT please. Really good read. Thank you.

Still think EDG and TRACE are going to go through.

Trace easy 2-0

EDG won Champs so TRACE has potential to maybe win an International, is all I'm saying.

Everyone love TenZ lol

Yes, when the game first started and competitive began. Before VCT officially.

Hope to see how they do at Masters Bangkok. They improved a lot.

Still need to see FUT and TH play. As of now, Americas and APAC have high potential.

Aspas = Ronaldo9
Demon1 = CR7
KangKang = Mbappe
MaKo = Zidane
Sacy = Pirlo
Less = Ronaldinho
Alfajer = Thierry Henry
cNed = Rooney
Forsaken = Gerrard
Yay = Benzema
T3xture = Drogba
Wardell = Suarez
Tenz = Heung Min Son
Chronicle = Totti
Leo = Maradona
nAts = Robben
Meteor = Lampard

:D

VIT G2 but hopefully NRG makes it out of lowers and KC as well. KC is the most fun to watch so far, and NRG has potential.

I could be wrong but earlier prior to the weekend I thought the lower brackets were set up incorrectly.

I doubt his Viper impacts more/as good as his Sova but I guess we'll see more later.

I actually noticed this when I was looking through PickEm's. Glad they fixed it.

Yeah but for how long? Lol. He's only good on Sova, realistically.

Valyn Leaf JoshRTZ definitely going to try and force map pick so Demon1 plays Raze so Jawgemo can diff.

They looking good. If C0m Tex Demon1 plays decently, you guys think LEV can win G2?

Legendary.

I thought eSports started in Korea.
