I'd say it's the most important sport in terms of coordinated team play and importance of a good division of labor. You need big tough guys on offense and defense (moreso than you do in hockey), players who can run, dodge people trying to tackle them, and understand where they need to be on the field for a given play. Your QB has to have an amazing arm and on the fly thinking, as well as being a good communicator between the coach and your teammates.

TDs / field goals are scored different than you probably think. Saying a TD is easy in the NFL is like saying it's easy to score a goal in football/soccer in champion's league.

I'm saying all this and I hardly even watch American football.

KRU gonna beat at least 2/3 of the NA teams on this list imo

Well, let's consider that they bought the gambit cs roster, made their trades, then bought a VCT spot, and then signed the most high-profile player in NA (at the time) for what would presumably be a high-paying salary. Even if they had a lot of money before all of that, they can't just spontaneously generate the revenue they would need to try to break-even for the year. It doesn't help that through all of those investments, they had 1 tournament win with their CS roster before getting Perfecto and electronic, and no results for their valorant squad, outside of a pretty successful regular season in vct.

All in all, the org took on a high amount of risk over a pretty short period of time, with barely any results to help attract more sponsors and/or merch sales.

idgaf about what mCe said about the org or about yay, I also don't care what some russian on vlr says while unironically using xD in 2024.

No point in even having groups tbh, they play each other anyways

LMFAO, fax.

in what world would you sign shahzam as a secondary duelist when you have tenz on the team

Hmmm, could be verno/alfajer good. He has nuts aim, I've never seen him in matches tho ngl. Could only see him improving TH tho, better than half the roster

I think it's just played out, world-building and character development are top-notch. The pacing could have been way better, but Naruto set a standard.

Meanwhile anime like JJK and Solo Leveling (the latter being very new still) have pretty great pacing. Also not unwilling to do flashback arcs which I sort of wish we had more of with anime like naruto.

Tough.

Naruto (if we're just talking main story arc)

Hunter x hunter

Bleach

One piece and/or Jojo

HM to JJK because it'll probably be my favorite by the time it's done, or I stop watching anime. There's a bunch of others that I love but are too short, sadly.

I think it's the best out of the three. I hate sunset, and breeze I hate even more just because of how monotonous the comps get. If I play 10 games of breeze, it will be virtually the same composition in 8 or 9 of those games. They should take breeze out and bring back haven or fracture. I'd even take pearl back if it played differently

getting downvoted by BRs. Trent is a monster. It's probably more of a modest and accurate prediction to say Trent could be just as good in VCT. High bar though.

TIL you get jacked on treadmills

I don't think they 'made' TenZ play controller, I think he genuinely likes the role. Hopefully they don't keep pancada in contract jail, would like to see him replace Tuyz on LOUD, or see him go to FURIA.

But as much as Zellsis is a bit of a meme-streamer, I also think he brings a ton of experience from other teams and is someone who can be a real solid emotional leader. Zekken and tenz are pretty quiet, so is Johnqt, and English isn't a first language for pancada and sacy. I see john also getting a lot more help for mid round calling w/ zellsis.

I think flyuh performs better with a team with lots of structure. Not that I don't think sentinels has that, but they aren't org trying to sign a team long term. They seem to sign talent and think it will amount to success. I think a lot of NA ascension teams have shown better strategy and team play, I'd like to see MXM stick together, same for M80.

It was pretty nice of that guy to do OP's whole presentation on AI though

probably related to roster buyouts. I wouldn't be surprised if players from teams like M80 stay pursuing the extra franchising slot, but I could see an org like the guard trying to increase capital with their recent layoffs.
