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

can someone just make a tier list of the 195 nations in the world based on their valorant players

none of them are vietnamese citizens, or at least on vlr they are NA based

but mwzera is the best player in the world

NA = 100T
EMEA = M3C
APAC = TS
SA = KRU or NIP
EA = DWG

No cap BenjyFishy looks pretty cracked

they should break up EMEA into EU, CIS, Turkey and MENA

It would be better for the scene as EU and CIS rightfully deserve their own spots with the insane teams they produce (FNC, ACE, TL, G3, GLD, M3C and FPX), Turkey has the biggest playerbase and MENA could grow as a region the same way that JP did

imo it just doesn't make sense to keep them together

Aren't basically all of the best LATAM players from Chile?

I HECKING LOVE MWZERA

TenZ - Duelist
ShahZaM- igl/initiator
SicK- flex
dapr- sentinel
zombs- controller

tell me this team won't win everything

flexinja doesn't join a team because he knows that if he were to play in vct it would be a 26-0 every time and viewership would die

I just don't get why you would play a viperless comp on breeze, the only reason I could think of is that they could use the neon wall as a psuedo substitute, but that doesn't last nearly long enough to have the same impact and it forces you to play off site as now you don't have the viper wall to help hold site on post plant. Also idk why you wouldn't want to abuse the Operator with how open Breeze is, we've seen F0rsakeN play pretty well on chamber.

Charles Neddington on his way to the back to back champions wins

You could put xeta in over FNS, they play some similar roles, but the problem is now there's no igl

when he was with the old boomers 100T he always looked his best when he was on raze and reyna and never on jett, he just struggles as the primary entry and thrives much more as the secondary entry, and right now in a single/zero duelist meta there's no space for duelist Asuna, so he has to play initiator. Give him time and I bet he'll adapt

could happen if Optic buy out C9 lol

TenZ is a jett one trick we need more flexibility than that

what are your champs predictions bro

holy shit I forgot vanity existed lmaooo

If PRX didn't play a ranked solo queue comp on Breeze I think they could have won it

who's a better igl than FNS, we definitely have enough firepower on this team to compensate for FNS's shitty ACS

I put him at flex, FNS I would put at primary initiator bc he plays breach and KAY/0 and on maps FNS plays viper then Asuna would play KAY/0 or fade. IMO he's not suited to be the entry but we saw how good he was at Reyna, and Kay/0 is basically like Reyna but better. Putting him on a more self-sufficient initiator could work well

it's the TenZ effect lol orgs saw SEN buy him for millions and now they think their players are worth the same

IMO this is the best possible roster that we would be able to put up

Entry duelist- Zekken
flex- Asuna
Chamber/AWP-yay
controller- Marved
igl- FNS

NA talent is too spread out among the teams, that's why regionally they all look so competitive but once they get out internationally, teams like FNATIC, PRX, and FPX who are filled to the brim with their regions best just roll them, if we made NA superteams then I bet there would be multiple NA reps in top 4

PRX also lost Breeze so idk what your point is

I would rather have had TGRD than XSET guaranteed for champs, morel likeable and the problems for TGRD are just more fixable than XSET's

Bad bait Jimmy cmon you’re better than this

The IEM Cologne viewership includes the Play-Ins which had some residentsleeper matchups in it, this is just disingenuous

WOO

Shao cock is just huge imagine peeking into a showstopper and viper ult

SHAO IS FUCKING INSANEEEEEEEEEE

WOW FNATIC FINALLY WON A ROUND

rito sucks at making groups

(impossible)

What the fuck is group A
