Report: TSM buy out Version1, creating a 9 man roster, in order to compete in the LCQ

He is the MVP of the first international valorant Lan and went 19/2 in fk/fd
They're is a good chance someone like Cned is better, but atm, you can't backup that claim

bang? lmao

You gotta realize that just because a good player is receiving a lot of attention doesn't mean that they are overrated
TenZ is most likely the best player in NA atm and is receiving the amount of publicity he deserves

A player is only overrated if they are given too much attention compared to their results

Criminally Underrated: Andersin

Seems like 2022 potentially could be a big year for complexity in valorant
Thoughts?

Whatever they're paying him, double it

Thanks

12 pm and 1pm what time zone? Just wondering so I can convert

Decade age gap 0_0

Haven fs

Why would it be delayed?

For once I envy the people who can't watch the games live and instead watch have to highlights

I mean it's clear that a lot of turkish fans don't speak english and use a translator instead, making it hard for them to grasp the obvious joke
Not acceptable behavior, but the language barrier makes things harder ¯_(ツ)_/¯

SMB 1-0 FPX
"losing"

I'm honestly happy to see either one of these teams go to Berlin
Lets go Seoldam!

I think the team is in a weird position atm where xeppaa is the one who should get dropped but won't for his background with the others
Seems like Vanity will play smokes, Xeta will play sentinel, and Xeppaa will play sova, with mitch getting dropped

I prefer mitch over xeppaa but I doubt he'll stay on the team

Lost the 1v1 to a dc

It happened again in the SMB game

Round should be replayed

LMFAO, entire team disconnected

More realistic one:
Wardell, Subroza, Sinatraa, Thwifo, Andersin

TSM are the largest org in the world
Why wouldn't they think of a superteam?

True

Imagine this team:
-Wardell (Primary Duelist)
-Subroza (Skye)
-Thwifo (Sentinels & IGL)
-Andersin (Smokes)
-Sinatraa (Sova/Secondary Duelist)

Hoping an NA team wins Berlin so that TSM has a final chance

So what have we learned?

Wardell:
-Team depends too much on him getting first kills
-He himself depends too much on the operator even get a kill and ints a lot in pistol rounds
-Lack of flexibility (such as not playing Raze on bind) messes up the team comps

Bang:
-Solid young player that tends to not show up in actual important matches
-Maybe move him to an academy team to help quash his nerves?

Hazed:
-He's a decent sentinel and a good site anchor, but it is clear that he struggles with anchoring a site and IGLing
-Probably the next to go as the team looks for a real IGL

Subroza:
-Honestly one of the bright spots of this team, although his decision making is questionable at times
-A very good skye player that I think the team would benefit from keeping

Leviathan:
-Does TSM even keep him at this point, especially if Sinatraa is potentially on the market
-He's a good player, but I doubt he gets signed after this Rise series (maybe moved to the rumored academy team?)

TLDR; TSM should keep Subroza and Wardell (if he improves his flexibility) and look for new IGL
Bang and Leviathan should get moved to an academy team to help improve consistency

TSM never fails to disappoint :/

Get Subroza and Leviathan off the A site
They are 0/3 on even getting a single kill while holding it

Symbiosis

That's my guess cause there's also no way Rise would pick Haven over Bind

Rise have not lost split in Stage 3 yet, I'm worried for TSM

Also why pick such a contested map when Rise's normal perma ban was Breeze?

Guild vs Gambit will be close too

Are the picks displayed on the stream wrong?
There's no fcking way TSM picked Split against Rise while Breeze was still in the pool

Yep, Turkey and CIS definitely deserve a direct slot to Berlin
Should have taken a slot from Japan and made them:
-3 EU
-1 TR
-1 CIS

LATAM should honestly be put with Brazil
I understand there is a language barrier but LATAM barely bring in any views and have some pretty average teams

Atleast Japan brings in a crazy amount of viewers

They should be safe until the semifinals (hopefully)

Fr, that guy's insane

Asked

Best matchup of the day imo is about to start, hoping for a 3 map game
Who do you guys have winning this one? Personally I have FPX winning

Group A: Sharper, Bren
Group B: Full Sense, Paper Rex
Group C: Boom, X10
Group D: Alter Ego, UwU (maybe not cause they have a sub)

Bren and X10 make it out of playoffs

Fahrenheit and Celsius both work honestly

I have hopes for TSM, though I doubt LG will go further then potentially beating FaZe round 1

How's everyone's pickems looking?
I'm 6/6 on the day, although I'm high on that TSM copium for tomorrow

Can't argue with a room temperature IQ

-Zombs is not a top 10 player
-Players like Corey, dephh, Nature, leaf, GMD, and Yaboidre deserve the slot more then him

Yay's a very good player, but he's gotta stop giving up his life for free
Every time I watch him die, I feel like it was in an untradeable position

I hope the slot goes to whichever region performs best at Berlin, since I doubt China will receive it now (nothings been announced)

IMO:
1) G2
2) Heretics
3) Cloud9
4) Damwon
5) Fire Flux

TSM logo is also really good
