ur cooked buddy

The first 3 all get plenty of flowers and nobody on this site follows China besides EDG/FPX and maybe BLG/other top franchising teams sp China is probably full of underrated players

no clue, no caribbean players owning EMEA that i'm trying to claim

I know all of u will lie so this thread is useless
but if you can name 5 MENA players other than Johnqt off the top of your head and tell me 1 thing about them you can claim Johnqt

The vast majority of people were cautiously optimistic about him lmao, a bunch of pros vouched for him and it didn't seem like a crazy idea at all at the time lol, don't act like NRG crashing and burning was the obvious outcome of a world class veteran player who had already filled secondary caller roles in the past picking up the igl role.

His archetype of player is genuinely so useful, so few selfless duelists nowadays, especially those who are afraid of non duelist roles, and who are willing to do the dirty work. Even now we see him picking up primary duelist on a team that has the best initiator in the world (arguably) on sage, I genuinely feel bad for the man. Forced to play second fiddle for yay for years, only to be put in the spotlight the moment the team turns dysfunctional and forgets how to support its duelists. I don't know if he is actually washed, but even if he is he doesn't deserve whats happening to him and Ethan ngl.
Anyways boot that fraud Tuyz for forcing his igl to play duelist and get Victor some duolingo lessons asap idnc if its a straight downgrade

Is Furia on a second 2 match wonder streak, are LOUD cooked, or are Furia actually good?

Again I agree that Mako is better, but the argument could be made. Not discrediting Mako, if you ask me he is the Goat controller, just not the undisputed Goat.

Pancada has the weakest arguement of the 5, but I feel that someone with his resume and raw talent could absolutely be in the conversation, Mako is the goat controller imo but his lack of international trophies or even podium finishes could be an argument on Pancada's behalf

Aspas 6th man

Aspas... best duelist of all time, dominant since the moment he began competing, 2 time 1st in BR Challengers, 2nd at 2022 Masters Reykjavik, 2022 Valorant Champion, LOCK//IN Finalist, 2023 America's leagues champion, 3rd place at Champions 2023, 3rd in Americas stage 1, All time VCT single map kill record holder with 47 kills, Champions 2022 MVP
Less... best sentinel of all time, arguable goat, 2 time 1st in BR Challengers, 2nd at 2022 Masters Reykjavik, 2022 Valorant Champion, LOCK//IN Finalist, 2023 America's leagues champion, 3rd place at Champions 2023, 2nd at 2024 Americas kickoff
Sacy... Most successful initiator of all time, won it all on 2 different teams speaking 2 different languages 3 time 1st in BR Challengers, Winner of VCT 2021 BR Masters, Represented Brazil at the very first international Valorant event, 2nd at 2022 Masters Reykjavik, 2022 Valorant Champion, Afreeca champion, 2024 Americas Kickoff Champion, 2024 Masters Madrid Champion
Pancada... On the mount rushmore of controllers, arguably the best controller of all time, 3 time 1st in BR Challengers, 2nd at 2022 Masters Reykjavik, 2022 Valorant Champion
Saadhak... Arguably the best igl in the world, led LOUD through thick and thin, 2 time 1st in BR Challengers, 1st strike LATAM Champion, Winner of VCT 2021 BR Masters, Represented Brazil at the very first international Valorant event, 2nd at 2022 Masters Reykjavik, 2022 Valorant Champion, LOCK//IN Finalist, 2023 America's leagues champion, 3rd place at Champions 2023, 2nd at 2024 Americas kickoff

Greatest roster of all time, if they got back together today they would be the strongest roster in the world, every single player on this roster could be argued as the goat of their role, every single player has been relevant for the entirety of their active career.
In other words
LOUD 2022 is greater than every iteration of FNATIC, SEN, DRX, PRX, GENG, and NAVI without a doubt
Edit: Forgot Sacy was the goat all the way back on team vikings, and Saadhak was on Estrals as well updated resume lmao

smartest gambler

Sachee and Cowazee, who will be next??

Brazil really gotta play eachother to give themselves wins smh

3 and 8 vs Aspas, truly a dog

ok but no flash no duelist is still kinda wild

Zero flashes, zero dive, singular recon initiator for attack?????

but if an older one gets more upvotes, ill analyse that

Explain to me how it took a 47 bomb from Aspas to get lev over the hump

calm down buddy

i feel bad for yosemite, bro locked in so he could meet his boyfriend and his kittens only for them to not show up

I know these teams aren't secured yet but i trust them all to make it
Heretics with Wo0t and Miniboo
PRX with assistant coaches
Sen that look revitalized
GenG with the Lakia of Valorant

ngl these are the top 4 teams at champs unless they all get the shitting disease, Aspas goes dumb stupid, Boostio goes to therapy, or Bili Bili turn their monitors on

NRG Keznit when

u right

OXY - Duelist
Karon - Controller
N4rrate - Initiator/Flex
Benjyfishy - Sentinel/Viper
Wo0t - Secondary Initiator/Duelist

fns needs to be able to spray, s0m is a pro, makes sense

Chet got on voice comms and told him to or he was getting kicked

Maybe don't duel leaf 90% of the time if you aim like a plat controller

I've played with gold players who have better aim than FNS
I've got better aim than FNS on my best days
This is actually absurd

mCe
S0m
Ethan
Mada
Victor
dapr

No Clue if this team would work but not much could be worse than current NRG

They should both go become sports therapists for Zeta Division

Atleast put my man on chamber at this point bruh, or fuck it even Jett, if your gameplan is to crawl in his backpack don't make him carry you on sage

Bro went from prime Demon1 and Jawg, One tournament wonder C0m, and pre Furia Boostio to a retirement home org

how about TheSpike? Rolls right off the tongue

If we get a situation we're an underdog team from T2 manages to finally dislodge a ascension team that had defended their spot for like 5 years in a crazy bo5
These changes are sick

That's a w pull, V1 cooked and he performed well

H1ber as well when they bombed out, p sure he was replacing their Russian sova who had been cooking domestically

Considering he was a content creator replacing a demon duelist player and the team still made the podium id say he was alright

Fnatic had some iirc

Patitek is easily 1st by multiple tiers, who are the distant 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc
Ok here's a work in progress list
H1ber
Ceider
Jammyz
Cgrs
Not complete or in order

In terms of performance

1. G2
2. Drg
3. M8
4. Bleed

In terms of quality

1. G2
2. M8(?)
3. Drg(?)
4. Bleed

Best - Volleyball
Worst - Golf

why u worrying about trent when u have leaf on screen in all his glory

also no

Is Estrella any good?
Edit: NM lmao

Reading this I assumed it would be some controversial question about how Pancada felt about his treatment at different teams, or something like that, and the might as well eat cake joke was just a metaphor.
Nope, Pancada is just a logical man

why chamber on split?

What are your guys theories on the wildest team comps we will see this split? Do you think anyone will run triple duelist like PRX did? Triple initiator? Reyna ISO? Deadlock outside icebox?

At Madrid nobody from China looked even remotely decent, at Shanghai FPX looked excellent. EDG have gone deep before, the region has the talent and is starting to develop more and more players and bring in experienced players and personnel from other leagues like RB, Autumn, Anaks, etc. They will most definately get over the hump eventually, even if takes them as long or longer than it did for APAC.
