I am 24 and stuck in the past hoping one day I will wake up from that terrible dream where OpTic didn't make Franchising.

Deadlock probably Saadhak...he played super smart on that agent.

When it comes to Cypher I think Less is Top 3 too despite his lack of playtime.

aspas is easily the best Jett right now

hey

Real yay fans wouldn't name themselves "number1yayfan" and then shit talk others. You are probably just a hater trying to drag his name through the mud even more. Because as a fan you would know that he is going through a lot of shit right now and therefore have enough empathy not to talk shit about others who are having a hard time, too.

aspas, jawgemo, Victor, Jingg are probably the best Raze players

honorable mentions would be zekken, Zyppan, t3xture, Life, keznit, OXY

Demon1 I think, even though he has had a rough performance on NRG so far

other than him I think the Turkish players in franchising are pretty sharp, especially Alfajer, Wo0t, RieNs and yetujey from what I have seen so far

also I love that aimstyle Less has, really calm and consistent, rarely whiffs

in terms of raze movement him and jingg are untouchable

will probably be played in apac or china for a couple times

184 (800 x 0.23)

this will be a great game, demon1 vs less masterclass incoming

well this was a showmatch with nothing on the line

also woot is still very young and inexperienced so i wouldn't be surprised if his performance wasn't outstanding

but there is no denying his mechanical ability, this guy is a monster and has so much potential to become one of the best

Artisan Hayate Otsu XSoft

It has a medium-fast glide but also really good stopping power

shot_up still has it in him, what a great player

damn that's sad news

Dasnerth is humble compared to this guy, imagine

Ofc aspas is a big loss for LOUD but they still have an excellent core, especially Less who has been - in my opinion - LOUD's best player for a long time. I think they'll do better than people expect them to do because of aspas leaving.

not american, but i believe he was IGLing for TSM

1

oh okay, that makes sense. i was only thinking about the language. then this roster might be the best, but it's hard to say since Russia has a lot of talented players.

no specific order

dan croll - from nowhere
coldplay - clocks
kid cudi - sept. 16
m83 - midnight city
china tiger - with you it's a saturday night
lorde - team
the neighbourhood - sweater weather
steve conte - call me call me (from cowboy bebop)
mac miller - ladders
apashe - rain

friends often tell me i have a weird music taste, feel free to roast me :D

Would be a really good roster, but I believe ANGE1 is a better IGL than Redgar

Honestly the forum is mostly about Valorant as an Esport and we currently go through a break that is (in my opinion) way too long. As a result people started talking about roster rumors but now that most teams are slowly bringing their new teams together people don't have interesting topics to talk about, that's my assumption.

I used to play 10-12 matches average back in the CS:GO times but when Valorant has become my main game about 3 and a half years ago I played less and less by time. I probably average like 50 games per act, 12 so far in this one. Don't get me wrong, I love Valorant just as much as if not even more than I liked CS but I can't really grind it. It's hard to explain but it's a whole lot of small details that add up that makes me not wanna play that much I assume.

W take

Less exists

leaf, Ethan, chronicle, Cloud, Shao, Sayf, Less, Sacy, crashies, Nukkye I think

Both really good mechanically, both really consistent, both really good agent pool

would say leaf has a higher peak and leaf would also be the kind of player who i'd expect to be good at calling in high pressure situations

both are great players and currently top 5 NA players imo

I still can't get over it...it's just so heartbreaking. My condolences to his family and friends. Rest in peace, DaveeyS. 🕊️

Just wait for The Rumbling

as of now yay

but i am telling you demon1 is not even in his prime yet

yeah tbh i could've left him out, for some reason his name came to my mind

I don't think KJ needs to get nerfed, I just believe the pickrate is super high because of the current state of the Sentinel role. The other Sentinels are just not good enough.

Demon1, yay, Alfajer, suygetsu, Less, ScreaM, Shao, DaveeyS

these are the names I think about when it comes to best aimers, no particular order

I mean if a team has the balls to do it it would be prx, no doubt. f0rsaken would probably be the guy to play her and somehow i could see him succeeding with it.

I think both players are the best players in their own team and top 3 in the world right now, both are mechanically gifted and super clutch. I think Less is a little better though. Whenever I see the other team in a 5v2, 4v2, 3v1 and Less is still alive I always feel like he is that guy who could turn it around. Super scary.

Jett/Controller I guess

Maybe we will see him on even more different roles in the future, he doesn't really like OPing as much as Boostio so there is no reason to always keep him on an OP focused agent. Furthermore his mechanical skill allows him to shine on any agent. He is just too good at the game.

no chance

Jemkin on Bind lookin' like my instalock Reyna's in ranked

I am really excited for how far this team can get, not only at Masters Tokyo but also at Champions as well as next year. When EG made it into the Americas playoffs many people - me included - believed this to be a fluke but as of right now they have been proven everyone wrong. Compared to the beginning of Americas League this team looks totally different now, everyone is super confident in their teamplay and their own abilities. It's really fun to watch them play.

I really want them both to succeed. ZETA has improved a lot and did the unexpected and all their emotions shown makes it really hard not to cheer for them...but at the same time...DRX is probably the best team in the tournament right now. At least in terms of strategies. So let's see who is gonna advance.

Yeah, I also think PRX is gonna win this match based on both teams' performances in the tournament so far. I expect them to win 2-1.

He has Bloom on like many professional players do. It helps you with opponents utility (for example Sova dart) and makes it glow so it is easier to recognize.

in this tournament probably nobody. outside of that chronicle is arguably better but it is hard to compare both these players as they usually play different roles (apart from chamber).

yay is a different beast. he is a top 2 player in the world right now in my opinion. his consistency is unmatched. hope he can keep it up!

Came here and expected a serious opinion xD and then that haha. I feel bad for this guy.

On the one side I feel really bad for him, he had a really rough time and all these shots were so close. On the other side his performance on Jett is just unacceptable. Not like he's been underperforming only that one map...his performance throughout the entire tournament has been a letdown.

Mechanically he is the best out of all Controller players. In terms of utility usage I don't think there is a real gap between him, zombs, Vanity or others, because it always depends on how the team plays together. You cannot really say his utility usage is rather good or bad than "..."

That's a real hard question for a game like Valorant where meta always changes. I say it's gonna be the team that can adapt the fastest and I think it is gonna be Envy and Liquid (Liquid because they have a really big agent pool).

PROD, harmful, RESHURA

There's a lot more, but these 3 were the first I thought about.

In terms of individual skill yay is probably the player to look for. I think he is slightly ahead of cNed. cNed is a great player, don't get me wrong. But so far he is not being the cNed we know from online matches.
