Sen win they have crowd buff

KOI vs NRG
.....................

Nah, PRX have it worse

Im ngl this bracket is a fucking sick joke or smth

Bro y is Fut playing RRQ first round I hope they lose

TF is this

Can't wait to see some top team lose to RRQ first round and be memed on for the rest of eternity.

single elim is bad but there is still a lot of games at least

swap icebox with breeze and its fine

Fair, I guess I was thinking of Mel on sentinel and then Bob can also play smokes. Team is still stacked even without Bob so it doesn't really matter. Having Sarah makes this team too good.

Dephh being a questionable igl is somewhat true, but calling the literal champions winners washed is pretty stupid.

Literally all the best gc players except for Noia, if they had Bob instead they would probably be better than any other gc team.

Lutheran

True

Leaf is super flexible he can probably play anything.

Interesting how people say Yay is going to struggle without Chamber even though his best tourney is all jett

I like this, biggest issue with playing the game casually is that games take too long. Good way to pass time without having to spend an hour.

Too hot

Doing the lord's work

He'd probably be a high tier 2 player, borderline t1 depends on how he improves with prac. He actually had some crazy moments in that tournament in terms of awareness, clearing corners that a lot of pros wouldn't.

When I talk about mechanics I don't really mean aim that much. Realistically in valorant aim isn't that important in pro play. Don't get me wrong it can be a difference maker but whats more important is how good the player is at taking higher percentage gunfights for themselves. Thats why Yay is more consistent than any other player because he takes the best fights and doesn't go for bad peaks as much.

I agree that difference in mechanics is very minimal, but I still think that he would be the best without chamber (even though the nerfs don't actually push him out of the meta, just not broken anymore) because he is definitely the best oper in the game and I don't think anyone can argue that really. I exaggerated with reyna because the agent is so simple that the amount of good reynasplayers would be kind of absurd and wouldn't fit yays playstyle.

He's not bad, maybe still pretty good just not broken. He'll just be balanced and players will have to put more thought between choosing kj, cypher, and chamber.

Being the best player itw in terms of mechanics will always help. What if Chamber sucks? Jett isn't bad and he can still dominate on it. In fact if the agent that was meta got less broken it will only help yay. Imagine if the meta was for everyone to play reyna. You're telling Yay couldn't be the best on Reyna? Best mechanical player will always dominate the mechanics based agents.

Curious about what you think of C9, PRX, and Sen going in this tourney

I would say he was a top 3 jett before chamber. Had a really good performance on jett at masters 3 Berlin on Jett, was the best player of the event along with nats. Also he can play other things and FNS said he wanted to play other things so he'll probably be fine.

its free, but i would still agree that maybe the nerf on the ult is a little too hard

Except that it does, each one of these teams that I listed were some of the best rosters from last year and kept their core or upgraded. C9 is sort of an exception because they weren't one of the best last year but their core is still good and yay is yay. PRX was a top team that unfortunately flopped at champions admittedly but going into next year they're still a top team. Not saying they're going to stay at the top and other teams won't improve, I'm just talking about how good teams are going to be at the start.

New Liquid players were better than DRX and were the best team of 2021 and flopped in 2022 and were together longer than DRX. Doesn't make any sense. Only teams that compete with them are Navi, Fnc, C9, NRG, and PRX.

And yet everyone on vlr still gets baited

Rest of DRX had a really good tournament and overall stax had a dip in performance. However, he did have some really good maps like ascent vs fpx.

Literal god entry

Poland vs indo for the better flag

Hes always been pretty good on support roles like viper and kj right?

Swap NRG and C9 and the list is perfect

Gamelanders only had opposition because they weren't actually that good. VS steamrolled their region and barely lost to a Nuturn that made top 3 and then VS international debut they only lost to Gmb who won the tournament. VS' history is way more impressive in just about every way.

Yeah saying they were better than 2020 vision strikers is a massive cap

Russia: the country of Valorant
Gambit top 1 Masters Berlin; 2nd Champions
Shao Suygetsu top1 Master Copenhagen; 4th Champions

Russia deserves more respect

Different regions always make the games interesting

not true?

It's not the worst team but compared to geng its kinda sad to me. I do agree Suggest and Xnfri are insane

Seoldam could be too but his team sucks

Do you guys know how to make a sentence without a skull emoji?

DNG and Talon are dark horses to do better than people think and maybe upset teams. They wont necessarily win but do better than what expectations are.

APAC: PRX
AM: C9
EMEA: TL/NAVI

Maybe a lot better than rhyme but they don't play the same role anyway. Keloqz is 1 dimensional but so is jugi

Neither of those players are bad and jugi isn't a whole lot better and vitality got twisten. 7ssk7 can sort of speak english but not well enough for these teams

what did he do tho, i have seen this name but i dont know anything about him

Who is noxxy

giga based
