BallSax and Trembolona are the 2 most influential people here.
This site wouldn't be the same without these 2

Stax's impact combined with his calling ability makes him the top pick ngl.
The amount of times he outfrags while mid round calling is insane
Not to take away from any other IGL, but Stax just is a whole different Chad!

Common Styx W
W Zeta

Indeed words of wisdom

Witcher 3

America : 100T
Asia : DRX / PRX / Zeta / GE
EMEA : Liquid

Seems about balanced

Accurate

I think he likes Frozen strawberries

Goated game

Absolutely.
Personally, SOL and Gaia's the two best Vandals for me

Prelude good af for a week.
Then you'll be bored

Naaah lmao this thread is gold

Can't reach top 4 in world carrying 4 bots in a world where Hooxi, Zywoo, m0nesy, entirety of Navi, Heroic and so many other teams exist, no?

To be precise, not exactly resign, he was on trial, now they've officially got him on contract.

I know I'm pretty late and not the right place but Yekindar on Liquid is such a W.
Now gimme Nats, Redgar and Sayf and I'm liquid fit both cs and Valorant

The humble trio, the king Sayf, the best sentinel / viper and the most underrated IGL, Redgar!
Liquid all the way!!

He's the best one on this site, no cap. No one's close

100T!

He's a cracked Oper and an aimer from India who, himself is a great guy, but has a rather dominating audience that like to spam him / his name everywhere

He's definitely a better Oper than a rifler for me

Telling the pros about the contracts and their benching not some weeks back but rather notifying when in action.
Even zombs defended Shahz on this telling he got to know he's benched just a day before. Same with Shahzam and now Dapr.

For the brief period when Subroza took over smokes, he popped off too. Not playing a duelist gives you the advantage of not entering aggressively and that too specifically on smokes you can play very passive and sometimes aggressive.

What 100T lacked was a good Oper.
I can't disagree with the point that there's not much difference between Will and Cryo as a whole, but it is an upgrade. Cryo is a rifler who can also Op very well, something that almost every team had.

Fr, Leo and Sayf have been my favourite duo since idk how long. Leo's insane clutches often overshadow Sayf. Sayf has been mad consistent no matter the role, right from the Yacine Bonkar days to now with Trexx and Koldamenta

Not sure as of now but mostly yes.
I think they're definitely keeping Jamppi. They're building around only Jamppi or (Jamppi + SoulCas) as Scream and Nivera are out for Karmine Corp.
So far the iteration looks like :
Sayf - Jamppi - nAts - Redgar - SoulCas - Dimasick

Yessss
Coming to what I said in #4, Optic's breeze was pretty bad until they started running double Op and Victor on Jett and Yay on Chamber

I mean I haven't really seen people so it on a large scale. Jett + chamber can be deadly too imo on certain maps, so many fakes, 2 players with the ability to get away, one execute heavy, one flank heavy, opens up many possibilities.
Something like Ascent is perfect for this

We might see Jett + Chamber both being run on the same map with Sayf going over Jett and Jamppi on the chamber.
Man regardless, Sayf to liquid is a massive W.

It's funny how much people are sleeping on Sayf. Like he's arguably one of the absolute bests in the world and people aren't talking about him at all.

Sayf has been my favourite duelist.
nAts and Redgar, these two you can't hate.
Jamppi has shown an insane improvement.
SoulCas stays underrated.
W, this team would mean no change for my flair even though scream and Nivera are gone

Not even gonna lie, this is how it should be done, watch till end

W.
Start talking about Sayf. It's been way too long now, appreciate the guh

Not denying that. But I mean, can you really keep doing the same thing for over a year?
Just seems absurd Optic was this consistent and the only reason would be Marved and Yay.

Definitely. Part of which is why I believe they had a specific playstyle. Crashies has the most clutches from OpTic because of him being the last man.
FNS was sort of in the middle where he wasn't in many places in need to clutch.
One exception being Bind where he plays Viper.

I think it was because they played around Yay and Marved a lot too.
On fracture if Victor could not give them the entrance to sight then they'd lose more rounds.
I've seen them set up victor or Yay for the executes and play around them, the same way FaZe did around Dicey and Babybay.

You gotta do better than that to own Babysasuke

Yess one of my first Content Creators that I watched, alongside LMNTRIX who's just disappeared.

"He's a bot"
"Platinum players have better aim than him"
Throw whatever words you want at him, at the end of the day he's one of the best IGL in this game, that to, of the most consistent Valorant pro team in the game's history.
Man has a Master's victory under his name.
If Optic's consistency has shown something, a good part of it also is to FNS and his mid round calls and over all IGLing and reading the opponents.
Sure he may not be the best aimer but he unironically is the best IGL despite being a rather weak aimer.

Eggwick.
Yeah ik many won't like him and stuff, but I genuinely find him the most chill Valorant content creator out there with a very responsive community.
Given the nature of Valorant communities, his and MrLowLander (Another underrated Valorant content creator) are the 2 most chill CC's I've seen

It was saddening to see NA's finest Smoker go and he was also an S tier Jett (People tend to forget their comeback against Acend began because Nitr0 hit that insane shot. He had one Jett knife left and he strafed headshot cNed's Op.)
But it's good to see how well Liquid are doing on the CS side. His IGLing is insane and with Yekindar, they look legit, a top 3 team in the world contender!

Ikr :/

I'm a liquid fan in general, but I'll be honest, Nukkye was a better IGL than Scream.
Both were bad but comparatively Nukkye did better.
My point being people aren't really talking about these pros enough

Same here. Nukkye, it's absurd how much he frags with IGL-ing that well, and Sayf is well, Sayf.

All these EMEA franchising news and no one mentioning the most underrated Fragger, Sayf.

W team. Only issue is Chronicle and Leo both are almost certainly both picked up by Fnatic

An actual post about an opinion and not a bait?
Can't relate?
If you don't wanna respect it, that's fine
Just know that Indians exist beyond Global eSports

Given the recent news about both Scream and Nivera potentially going over to Karmine Corp, this iteration would be something I'd go all in for, from all the remaining pros -
Sayf : Main duelist
Jamppi : Chamber + Awp / secondary duel
nAts : sentinel / Viper
Redgar : W IGL on Initiator
L1NK was a great smoker but he told he wouldn't want to play that role, so Ig Avova or Koldamenta

Ahh mb my autotype messed it up
