Really hope you read this, im just going to speak from browsing your page.

For starters, your headshot % is way toooooooo low to be using a vandal, switch to a phantom. I played cs for 15 years, and not I'm not radiant I'm your average decent diamond player, but if your hs % is 7% you should not be using an ak, use the phantom. I'm average 20%, and with precision weapons my hs% shoots up to around 28-30% and i use a phantom.

Secondly, your agent selection is all over the place for a bronze player in competitive. Find someone you are comfortable with, that you can use instinctively, and stick to them. Don't go from omen, to raze, to kj roles. Valorant isn't CS, you really do have to play your role, and all these characters have different mentalities when playing. I play controller and only controller. If i need to flex i play someone i can combo with my duo, so like a breach with my duo raze, or someone i can abuse on a map, like sage on split.

Lastly, why are you dying SO much? Value your life more man. You die way to damn much, and you cant make an impact for your team if you are dead. I rather have a sova that is 8-10 with perfect util than a top fragging sova thats 25-20 thats literally getting traded right after taking first contact.

Again my page isn't some insanely charted pahe with crazy stats, but with good coms, and some game sense to go with good util, you should improve.

What if you gave Omen the ability to right-click a tp(shrowded step), and it worked with some sort of timer, let's say 5 seconds, and at the end of the 5 seconds he TP's to the spot he chose? It would allow another agent class to use the AWP, take fights with it, and provide flexibility with lineups. They could add a glow to omen or some sort of identifier like they did to Jett or chamber's glow. Instead of nerfing Jett even more since she's the main AWP agent, or forcing a chamber for the AWP, or running double duelist, you provide flexibility with lineups.

The TP can be tweaked to work like Yoru's where for that .5 seconds when the TP initiates, if you are shot at you still get hit, or they add a vulnerability debuff so that it's like a high-risk high-reward type of thing?

Just throwing ideas out there. Tough to think how you get an OP in the initiator role hands but thought this was an interesting idea.

main viper, dont know lineups for mollies but i can stall like a beast

tarik for being an idiot, sgares for goat shit

hardware?

with sean he was probably the second best NA smoker. and he's like 18. keep him, let him develop. FNS was even shocked at the insane jump he took, mentioned it several times

you do the EG thing, move cryo to sentinel on not jet maps, they would move d1 to smokes. The more similar comparison could be boosty since he would go from senti to chamber awp. Sentinel is kind of unique on how you do anchor and hard hold angles like you would as a jet, you just dont get the dash obviously.

my main concern with this would be the skill gap. I'm not saying shes worse, but i think we can all agree that the talent in tier 1 champions is greater than the talent pool in game changers. Can she keep up? who knows

I do think the girl thing is kinda mehh, like potter lead EG without a hitch, and everyone else might have questioned her outside looking in but the players never seemed to lose faith in her. If Mel were to prove that shes that dude(metaphorically), then the players wont give a shit if shes a dude or a girl

okay, but your also forcing that player to take an over 50% paycut AFTER they literally took you from laughing stocks champions

Look i agree haha but i wanted to post as many options i could think of that at least had some relevance the last 12 months

runi got benched before the lcq for qpert, rumors were he was a bit of a hot head, but then they could skrim long enough for qpert to play a reliable role so they through runi back in

One big criticism of the coaching staff was that given they had already cut vanity and yay

i could see alot of teams saying we have no idea what we are doing and let him take over.

Then bring in some type of strategic coach that works in tandem with fns, sort of like a 1a 1b typa thing

said he wanted to try art or someshit on stream

rawkass for sure, dude got a dumpy

Is that good or bad?

Hes a proven OG in cs, and knows how to build rosters. Build a roster in CLG back in the cs days with tarik on it, and build the envy roster, wanted yay before yay was diablo and then got him, and it was only until he got to NRG where people questions anything roster related.

I see no difference in him and sean gares tbh when it comes to talent eval, leadership, etc

From me? I think i did a pretty decent job of staying as neutral as possible. Besides the old xset duo, i think my post is pretty neutral.

Never heard of him, gonna go check him out on youtube

What NA IGLS are legitimately available?

Boostio (contract jail)
FNS (requires big funds and s0m seems like a must plus 1)
Runi (tier 1 experience, but was benched, could be toxic)
Mel(game changers igl, maybe worth a look at even if talent gap is there from talent pools)
Poised (great story but can he lead in tier 1?)
Zander (kinda did it but rumors he hated igling)
Depth (ewwww)
Ayrin (lackluster results from t1 and was cut)
Stellar (had amazing moments with sgares, can he redeem himself)
Shaz (say what you want but at one point he was at the top, but cant neglect the fall off)
Steel (dudes old)

IGLS who were available but have signed

Jqt (i think was made official sen)
Vanity rumored to c9
Mitch assumed to stay with oxygen
fluyh with MxS (announced himself he's not leaving)

This list went from promising for the tier 1 needy teams to dry really fast....

I think the only true option here with boostop out is fns say what you want but no one questions the guys leadership, or ability to build a roster. O

Maybe they look heavily into tier 2 like mitch(wish flyuh was still an option), or do with some sort of main caller secondary caller like zander ayrin but that doesn't nearly have the firepower you hope for.

Wish vanity was still an option, thats a huge bummer.

So what you saying is zander has won?

as far as igls go, its tough...

Names that come to mind that are free agents are first and foremost FNS, who is prolly the best out of the bunch. Yes he can't frag, yes he wiffs, but he's a top tier leader, can develop talent, knows how to build a roster, and has what feels like a decade of experience. Then there are guys like zander (kind of), depth, ayrin, stellar(who we just dropped), shaz(content creator not on roster), runi, screwface, etc...

Some tier 2 guys that come to mind are hazed, poised, mitch, exalt, etc...

The hope is you can go and get boostio, you can pay fns which probably means cutting bang which really sucks(since he would bring s0m with him), or a flyer on a guy like zander? If sean was with the team i'd have a ton of hope on finding a youngster

ps. i wish vanity was still an option, all you see and hear is good vibes from the guy and he's a proven leader with lan experience. damn

terrible take

jlo
yanet garcia
eva mendez
Jailyne Ojeda
any girl from colombia or michoacan

if boostio is legit signed to 100t i think he brings c0m, as that would be his guy and would fill roles PERFECTLY since they need a sova, also he's util and late round prescense would go perfectly as well as only bang really played that role well when sgares was the coach

hahaha this is actually true, its more like if you latino you get a pass

my guess is he goes back to the assistant coach role for anti strat stuff, and they move zikz to head coach

FNS
Stax
Boaster
Depth
Stellar

Just have everyone fighting over what they are going to do next hahaha

Is it not the players fault for demanding so much money from these orgs? Orgs now are going f you and just saying okay yall tryna get all this cash, we going to go get budget players and go from there.

Also the orgs fault for getting into bidding wars, but i dont see many people holding the players accountable. They drove the prices for themselves so high they basically priced themselves out of a slot

this is the best clutch

king speaks spanish and loud speaks portuguese

So teams were:

stupid enough to scrim against their reserve roster

delusional enough to believe they wouldn't share the strats and comps with their coaching staff/analyst dept.

ignorant enough to do it over and over and over again for literally the whole year(season/playoffs/masters/champions)

and then just befuddled when the above reflected directly to their winning? and we should be mad? Are you nuts? hahaha this is comical

Kobe 1v1nd reggie miller to learn his shot timings the offseason before they faced him in the finals AND won
Michael Jordan had a training camp the year he came back to the NBA from the MLB with all his rivals to condition back and win a championship
MLB players steal signs from catchers when they are on second to throw off pitches to their batter
Do i just go on?

(100t fan here, more like an old CS head who became a fan because of their older roster with steel/hiko/nitr0 etc.)

Team obviously can't make any moves without a Manager, and although they technically still have a coach right now I think we all agree he's one foot out the door.

What options do they have? I am genuinely curious.

Not sure if you can private message on here but I would go with an SSD storage drive instead of a Harddrive storage drive. Few things.

• Performance will be far better, SSD pricing has came down substantially, and they install similarly (both require the same ports to function)
• Look up videos from jayz2centz or linustechtips on how to install an SSd and what it is if you are confused.
• Go to brand that isn't expensive is crucial, we use dozens of them here at work and they are great.

no coach or manager at the moment, no one to make changes

So just doing this for fun, let me start by saying that. We know teams want to get cheaper, salaries will come down, and a lot of tier-1 talent is just going to go to content creation because of it.

That being said, I was thinking, would be it crazy for a team to build around someone like Flyuhh and Zander? Both graded really well in the second half of Ascension, and you could have a sort of Primary Caller/Secondary Caller type of system, kind of like Ayrin/Depth or how 100t previously had with Steel and both hiko/nitr0 giving midround input( i think valyn/net did the same in guard).

Then just have 3 cracked-gifted players around them like narrate/verno/skuba/etc......

Thoughts? I know prx did the "no igl" thing, but i don't know how replicable a system like that is without just a monster of a coaching staff

The guard will somehow get their spot back so we are not getting trent or net. WAAYYYY to much backlash for Leo to not do something to make them whole.

I do thing Derrek and stellar are gone if they are trying to build their team on their own. I think they like cryo and bang, asuna is their home grown talent and they will try to keep some type of core.

IF FNS is given the keys, he's bringing in SOM who can (IMO) be very versatile and be a controller or flex at a high level. Then he can do anything, FNS things highly of bang has said it on stream, he's kinda smacked talked asuna's franticness, which to his credit i think chaos is where asuna thrives. That being said, I've always felt like FNS like players who are disciplined. So again, WHO knows what could happen here. Could also just say SOM you were elite on smokes so bang go bye bye.

Last option is they do a minimum salary rebuild like i think MOST teams are going to go, and get a bunch of tier 2 talent...

Nimso/eeiu/sym/verno/skuba/koala/flyuhh/brawk/nature/zander/narrate....
i could list 15 names that i would be excited for tbh
could field a team of flyuhh and zander to have a primary caller and secondary caller, and just throw 3 really cracked gifted players around that

bbl potential roster...

sofia vergara
selma hayek
j-lo

thats the core 3

i kinda like the idea of nitr0 coming back in some sort of analyst or coach role tbh, not head coach but he's veteran presence plus having played the game before and relationship with the org made sense to me

It has happened before, riot isnt the greatest with their casting talent. Sgares joined 100t to coach because he told riot he couldn't go to an event like the week before the even because he had a family emergency(hospital type stuff) and then after that they wouldn't even reply to his inquiries. He even volunteered to cast an event for free and still got nothing. Glad the community pushed for him and he's back on the table now, i think he's by far and away the most insightful talent they have and its not close. decade plus of IGLing in cs plus coaching the sport can do that

dude... look how he talks about him? And he's saying this in public to thousands if not tens of thousands of people

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRaCHnuBEBM

I think people get in their feelings a little to much, I'm 28 and Mexican so maybe my culture and upbringing was dif but my family parties or childhood hangs with friends revolved around 50% of the conversation involving some type of "smack talk". Most of the time people are just trying to "chop it up" and be silly no malice behind it. IDK nowadays everyone takes everything so personal its kinda weird.

Asuna isnt staying on the roster is FNS is building it, he hates his playstyle, he's clowned him live onstream

Pretty sure Valyn is their IGL, net could be like a secondary caller, sort of like how ayrin depth were on xset, i know there are teams that do that sort of stuff

less jobs less opportunities, big orgs are not not going to want to compete since this is twice now that riot steals a slot. means tier 2 will suffer because talent wont get paid...

why would players not stream and make real money to compete and possible get nothing

I see your point but hes atleast trying to provide a solution, and in his defense he mentioned he would go out of his way(for free) to help the guard guys get on an org if they wanted to field that as an option. Dudes an org owner and doesn't have to do any of that. Sure he's tryna look out for himself too but heck cronky basically bailed on everyone and fired his whole staff, so give me this dude instead.

True but thats more common than you may think... demon 1 was put on astra, jawgemo on omen, heck something played reyna and then breach

read through your post, like everything you mentioned, idk if I agree with the Asuna sacrificial lamb part. He played the same role someone like victor/chichoo/jing etc as like a secondary duelist(raze main) who can flex to initiators like skye/kayo.

IMO their best play is probably keep cryo, get fns and som and i guess joshrt? prolly means asuna is gone and bang with him and for sure derrek and stellar are gone. FNS hates asunas play style, has literally clowned on him live on stream.

We will see what happens...
