true, round 10 where they had man advantage and had weakened Ivy, and then threw it away i think shows that they may have gotten used to map 1 where they were consistently out-aiming Nongshim and had these insane hero plays.

ofc, and i think Nongshim are a naturally attack-sided team as well

Though the plays can get questionable sometimes, I will say that his teammates are great at playing around him

the first big difference I'm noticing between pearl and lotus so far is that Nongshim are winning a lot more individual duels.

can't fucking believe they forced a 4v2 lockdown from DRX while NS were saving. Crazy shit

true but you are forced to make very quick and impulsive decisions when playing a super aggro neon it comes with the territory. I'm sure he'll get better with this given time, and even if they don't win, this is a super important match for them because it's the first time they're punching above their weight class.

who cares they're fun to watch

no disrespect at all, he is one of my favorite players ever and 100% deserves a major win

best valorant player of all time without a major trophy

He doesn't have to get kills to have value. Nongshim use him to fake site hits and distract as many people as possible and it's worked very well so far

You don't understand his role in the team clearly

So like masters Berlin just didn’t happen in your timeline?

Any team that wants to commit to picking up a player like aspas should build their roster around him, and yes that absolutely means his mental. They need to keep nzr whether he performs or not.

I know, and I’m not saying that there isn’t a bit of choking involved, more so that 100T was never really getting stomped hard on defense and the comeback they’re making was very much possible

I guess he finally learned why you should just stfu and do content for your org

Not really, 100T just an attack sided team and they rallied. Also, the score made it look much more heavily tipped in mibr’s favor at the end of the first half when in actuality the kills were similar even between both teams when it was 8-2

☹️

You can make a serious argument for yay being a top 3 player at 3 tournaments across 2021 and 2022.

Lore drop?

what?

To be fair, it wasn’t just a bad map. It was a HORRENDOUS map. 2 first kills across all 5 players is ghastly. Even though I don’t think mibr are that bad, you have to understand just how terribly that map went

I think it was a mix of a slight degradation of skill and ideas, and other teams like Sentinels, Furia, KRU, and G2 improving between stages

cortezia is good
nzr has been good
idk

From what I heard, production wanted the to play it out, but that is still up in the air. They sure did seem pretty reluctant to do anything at the start of the round.

A game breaking bug simply can’t fly whether the afflicted team decides to try their luck or not. 100T deserved a fair shot at winning pistol round

Tragic that one bad tournament in the off-season cost him his spot. Understandable move for EG to make, but tragic nonetheless

Xeppaa off the top of my head

It’d matter if the game ended at like 11-13 not 4-13

yikes.😬

I think anybody who has won a major makes it (plus a few others who haven't won yet but have been exceptional like MaKo or f0rsaken)
