CT side on split is the easiest to make a comeback on bruh

I think this map makes it clear that Bang and Marved are the only competition for the best controller player in NA

XSET will be forever cursed with 4th place

Liquid and GE absolutely not

anybody in playoffs right now I would give a chance to make it to Copenhagen, there's no real favorite for me other than Optic

Derrek Overwatch

wooptity scoop

I remember seeing a clip of Acend's comms and that shit sounded so chaotic, I have no idea how a non-native speaker was able to understand that

yeah but thats bc Sentinels sucks and fell off way before Kanpeki came

too busy scrimming unlike Shahzam

yes DM and ranked stats are clearly the best way to quantify how good a player is

SEN obviously winning Tenz will become Jesus Incarnate and drop 60 on map 1 and stuff his nuts down Asuna's throat

JAMMPI LMAOOOOOO

The plan right now is 3rd party tournaments and an international game changers event

Shonen: One Piece
Seinen: Monogatari (idk if mono actually is a seinen but idgaf)
Romance: Bunny Girl Senpai
Sports: Diamond no Ace

I'm guessing its that TGRD came into groups with a target on their back while at the same time having a crushed mental from underperforming at Masters

no way riot are making the franchise league without 100T in it, they're just too clouted to be left out, plus they have an LCS team

ur wasting the potential of chamber if you aren't a cracked oper

yeah bc nobody talks about Liquid Brazil in the first place

tbh I don't think we should use the masters win to factor into this round of qualifiers, we are already seeing the meta evolve with the jett and chamber nerfs and how new jettless comps are succeeding, it just doesn't make sense to factor in results from a meta that's passed. We did that same shit with SEN after masters 2 last year and we see how that happened.

speaking of rara, that RAMB team had some cracked players, Koalanoob, BabyJ and depph were all on it lol

literally every single other esport has crowds at their LANs, and traditional sports have been having it for the past like year

well however SEN is working rn they need to change it bc it's clearly not working

some of y'all vlr smoothbrains don't get the definition of a power ranking, LG has been hot asf and are justifiably at 1st rn, but if they can stay there will be seen later

2nd team

this is like Ja Morant's dad except he actually hates him instead of just tryring to motivate him

I think he means that his game skill like aim is pretty clearly bad, he still has good game sense and calling

SEN, at least I can see decent potential with EG and TSM, Sentinels needs a whole 180 to even try and compete again

Yay is clearly on the better team and the better player in terms of fundamentals, TenZ has to basically hard carry Sentinels to even have a chance to win and needs to take way more risks and still succeeds, plus he has a hot gf so I think TenZ wins this here

who gives a fuck about vlr stars

I'd argue that yay and leaf are better than him just in NA, and Cned as a jett one trick is far better

Are you seriously using vlr flairs to judge a team’s popularity

TenZ is not a top 3 duelist anymore, he’s a Jett one trick that is at a similar skill level to much more flexible players

He’s going to make an irl op academy

my mistake, 100T are going to make it past top 8 at Masters 2 so it'll be different from the guard

I doubt that's going to happen unless there's a team that only ever uses meta comps and never tries their own comps

Wardell's problem was that he was never able to get the value he should have without the OP, it really fucked over TSM's economy whenever they had to save the OP or had to buy around Wardell's OP because his rifling just isn't as good

I think 100T will improve so much over this week, they've already improved so much from the Knights tourney to this VCT qualifier, and now they have reps against solid teams up

Shahzam's strategy for making a comp is to make one with whatever feels right to him and then make sure to never play it

100T are going to be the next guard confirmed

They were already really good and popular along with TSM in the pre-first strike era, and then when they got Tenz all the dickriders made them even more popular, and winning Reykjavik 2021 made them one of the most popular teams in the world, they've just consistently been one of the best teams in NA since the beginning of the game, and when you're good people like you. People also were huge on TSM when they were popping off in the ignition series

Why is there a TL Brazil, I thought orgs were only allowed 1 team and that's why NIP dropped their EMEA roster and T1 dropped their Korea roster

Some cracked rifler from CS like twistzz or EligE

to be fair, recently he has not done well at all against actually good opponents, his stats in this tournament are being carried by the knights and NRG game, against Rise and Optic he played poorly, and in champions was great against Furia and that's kinda it

the CSGO scene had been going for at least 8 years before the COVID pandemic, I was talking about esports that were just starting

Imagine in a couple of years looking back at the start of the valorant esports scene with Covid in 2020 and the Russia Ukraine situation in 2022 affecting the game so heavily, that will be crazy. Are there any other games that have been affected by something even close to this at the beginning of their pro scene?

fr when have SEN ever shown the ability to adapt well

2-1 XSET, I have 0 trust in 100T rn

bro just accused him of pedophilia lmaoooo

Just put Asuna on flex they have got to stop making him play jett
