I usually just hover Jett until someone instalocks her and then I go to one of my other picks. Tbh for most agents you really only need some decent understanding of game sense to properly use their util, like when I picked up fade I never looked up a single lineup video, I just read about her abilities and threw them whenever it felt necessary. Same with raze, I never practice my double satchel stuff or my raze boombot lineups but I just wing it and do my job

there should never be playoff byes imo

nah I'm G1 lol I'm inconsistent ash

it's actually criminal that G2 hasn't won a major with how much talent they have on that roster

G1
NA

not 100T vs FaZe?

G2 drops JackZ and picks up Yekindar and keeps AleksiB

NA
Jett, Raze, Omen, Killjoy, Skye, Fade
Phantom

they are absolutely going to be franchised, 0/8 bait

Big Booty Latinas fs making a deep run

except for 100T going out last this lowkey looks feasible

C9W had to FF a game because they were late by a couple of minutes because of issues with the tournament client

The NA GC scene right now is an absolute joke, for what’s supposed to be an official riot tournament circuit, the people running it have no idea what the fuck they’re doing. I’ve seen Tier 3 csgo TOS run a tournament better than galorants can run GC. They make so many dumb decisions like the C9W disqualifications stuff, and there’s so much drama and bullshit in the tournaments that it’s just sad to see. Get them a better TO already

I have no idea so I was just counting all possibilities, if I didn’t think there would be a difference between LAN and online performance I wouldn’t have bothered to make the difference

can you link clip I want to see

whoever runs the NA GC scene clearly has no idea what the fuck they're doing

imo winning 3-0 is still pretty dominant, especially considering they stole FNATIC's map pick

putting my college savings on SR winning now don't blow this for me

NA always has banger matches regionally

SR didn't impress me in chall 2 playoffs and I don't expect a major change in that right now

congrats you made it all the way to the end of the post

Just some thoughts about NA lcq

If this is a LAN with crowd, I think that SEN actually have a pretty decent shot to go deep, they have the most LAN experience among all the teams in LCQ and their side of the bracket is a cupcake compared to the other side

I have no trust in C9 right now to do anything in LCQ, I mean they're losing to Soniqs and playing it close with T2 teams like NYFU and TSMA, it might just be because they're experimenting with comps and maps but god damn you're C9, you should be better than this

Whoever comes out of the side of the bracket with FaZe, EG, NRG and 100T is 100% making it out of LCQ

I expect 100Thieves to come into this tourney hot as fuck, Bang is finally bootcamping and they should incredibly rapid improvements mid tournament during challengers 2, so much that they had people legitimately thinking they could make it to Copenhagen

FaZe may take a step back, I don't know if Dicey's insane challengers 2 performance can be replicated, but if they can keep the same form then they are an absolute favorite to make it to champs

LAN w/ crowd:
SR and TGRD 7-8th
C9 and EG 5-6th
SEN 4th
NRG 3rd
Toss up between FaZe and 100T for 1st

online:
SEN and SR: 7-8th
C9 and EG: 5th-6th
TGRD 4th
NRG 3rd
Toss up between FaZe and 100T for 1st

go ahead and roast me if you disagree idgaf I'm just dumping my thoughts

We do not need Stewie in valorant, we already have enough problems with drama and competitive drive in NA

still they were ahead of the best that the other regions could offer, that's literally the definition of dominance isn't it? The 2017-2018 Golden State Warriors were literally just more talented than every other team, that doesn't discount their dominance so why should we do the same for M2 Sentinels?

that's why you should watch a real esport like Overwatch.

downvoted because of SEN hate lol, Sentinels in Iceland were so far ahead of the competition that it's ridiculous. I doubt we'll see such a dominant performance ever again bc the regions are all coming to the same level instead of just a couple dominating.

Speed is just so stupid it's funny, this is not funny it's just stupid. If anything tho, I feel like little suburban white kids are the most common people who watch speed and copy him

OW would never be boring

I agree mister Delusional_potter_fan

valorant esports is a dying esport, we should all go watch a real game like Overwatch

I HECKING LOVE 100 THIEVES

vlr users say that about literally every masters and champions slot lol

C9 easily comes out of the top bracket and gets rocked by whoever tf gets out of the bottom bracket in upper finals

well that evens out the bracket more

clownery on every front here, whoever Dawn was talking to was being stupid with the whole "teabagging is SA" shit, but Dawn was also clearly using language meant to get a reaction out of them, just call them stupid and let it go you don't have to say shit like that

100T are comfortable playing into split

the bottom side of the NA bracket is way harder than the top side lol, C9 with time, a rising 100T team, FaZe with 2 of the best fraggers in NA and a pretty solid EG team

this is the stupidest thing I've read today

some type of combination of SEN, 100T, ZETA, G2, TL, BBL, and maybe EDG depending on how good Chinese viewership is

TenZ to Paper Rex??? 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱

riot could use the OWL as a lesson for what not to do for franchising

2^-1 - APAC WILL FINISH 1/2 AT MASTERS 1 2023??

Now THIS is real valorant

duelist- Flights
initiator- AverageJonas
sentinel- grim
controller- flexinja
Chamber- Jollz

this sounds like if jazz musicians came together to make a rock band

the matchup everyone is waiting to see

Well FNC and FPX have some of the best players from the region, but EMEA is such a large region that of course there's gonna be a huge talent pool. I bet there could be at least 5-6 EMEA superteams that could compete for champions if we consolidated every good player on the same teams. NA just has way more orgs that want to get in, and the player pool just can't sustain all of them. I bet with franchising that problem will be alleviated tho

the first time that trembolonaRage mentioned mwzera by name, everyone in this thread scrolled past history

100T were a young team that overperformed

but the whole of LEV and KRU minus Klaus (which tbh isn't exactly the best player on the team) are Chilean so I think that puts them at the best val nation in LATAM
