Somebody said it already but posting this on Valorant competitive subreddit would do you wonders as it is very well thought out post!

Most of us don't even know what to do to get a gf... good luck man

Hiko's probably the 3rd best sova in NA. IN TERMS OF USING SOVA UTIL. I understand that his fragging can be a bit frustrating at times but as a pure sova, good shock dart lineups for things like KJ ult, strong ult usage of hunters fury good recons, he is insane. You could argue he is the best sova at using sova's kit but his fragging capability puts him 3rd behind crashies and BcJ. (Not forgetting Shaz but shaz is essentially a fill sova which is why I don't really count him)

agree about aproto. Feels like he is a one trick cypher in a cypherless meta. Tough ig

4/8 obvious bait but it worked still. Good for you

Surely this is bait. Yay diffed Asuna? This is again statistically not true. But even disregarding stats if you watched the game you could definitely tell there was no diff in either direction. Also, you citing the 1 duelist comp showcases the difference between Tenz and Asuna. Asuna is the sole entry for the team, if he doesn't get entries or create space for 100T the rounds are more likely than not finished. In fact, they were so reliant on him (around stage 1 stage 2) that they didn't even run execs or setups to be able to trade him. Steel mentioned this on his streams back during this time. Conversely, SEN running 2 duelists allows for double entry setups where you can play off of your other entry fragger. Tenz does not have nearly the same importance level as Asuna to 100T because SEN constantly has support around Tenz via Sick, or Shaz to create openings. Just because they don't run skye does not mean there is no support lol.

Lastly, people who claim 100T is simply just the "Asuna show" either don't watch the games or do not fully grasp the way 100T plays. 100T play in a way that enables Asuna's rifling in a way that TSM enables Wardell's op. The difference being Asuna on a rifle is much less of a crutch for 100T than Wardell on the op. The goal is to set Asuna up for picks as he is one of the best riflers in the world but it is not simply him just running around wide swinging and repeeking everything. There is way more structure than that and if you can't see that then I'm sorry but idk what else to tell you

This is simply not true, and I know my flair makes me less credible. But prior to yesterday, the last two times 100T played SEN Asuna had the highest ACS for 100T, and in one of the matches, he had a higher ACS than Tenz, with the other being like 30-40 difference. To say Asuna gets diffed by Tenz and SEN as a whole is just not true. In fact, he is one of the few NA duelists that doesn't get diffed by SEN/Tenz. Am I saying he is better? No. But he is not getting diffed lmao.

Also, I agree that Ethan is very very underrated, he was a top 20 CS player on HLTV before switching. Idk if he is an entry tho. Just my opinion on that.

explain your reasoning? Because the B05 made it pretty clear 100T has a deeper map pool

LOL I am trolling, forgot Vic played skye. Most definitely their real comp. NV are commited to Victor transition to skye, which somewhat forces crashies into a weird fill on this map

100t ban Bind. My theory is that this is NV's real comp. The reyna pick is to have flashes to entry with as they have no skye. The only thing I don't understand is not playing skye/picking cypher over her. Could be FNS choice, could be Crashies not being comfortable, could be the coach wanting to utilize cypher on arguably his best map.

They are not a good split team anymore. Split is Envy's perma ban now from what used to be icebox. Also my guess is this is their comp. The only thing I don't understand is cypher over skye. Cypher over skye is why they have to go Reyna over jett as reyna has flashes to make up for cypher not having any. That being said split is cyphers best map, maybe FNS just prefers a strong defense to make up for the lack luster attack?

Crashies was a cypher 1 trick back on T1. Obviously this is well over 8 months ago but not his first time.

I mean having an org and not having an org is a big difference even if it is still the same 5

100% agree

This makes zero sense, to send death threats to people after a loss is just sickening. Especially over something as trivial as esports. Like you literally know that there will be multiple other chances, and ultimately it is just a game, these players have lives outside of it. Like really? This is the level that you stoop to? It just doesn't make any sense to me :(

Props to you. I thought maybe they make the change for LCQ if they didn't qual with the roster for berlin in finals but they felt ready now.

Tangent to the tangent but I'm so glad someone said it 100T not playing sage on icebox will hurt them the further they go imo. Granted their icebox is already really really good as is so good that SEN bans it against them but it could be even better with sage over kj imo.

wrong flair :)

Wardell is still a bit too high for me and I think Vic could go ahead of both corey and leaf. Ultimately I think what every list has lacked, yours included is the importance of team success as good as a lot of these guys are the team success should be something to discern the good from the great. In sports like basketball, the top 10 are usually all comparable in skill but one thing that sets them apart is how they impact their teams in terms of winning. I think it should be the same in Val. Outside of Tenz and somewhat Asuna to a certain extent, the top 10 are very comparable. I mean are we really gonna objectively decided who is better between people like yay and corey or Victor and Sick? But what we can do is see that a team like Faze has seen a bit more success during VCTs in comparison to ABX and we can adjust the rankings accordingly. IMO at least
