Duelist to sentinel is perfect sense imo

They knew which setup best to counter enemy duelist since they knew duelist habit. However, there's some problem they need to handle as sentinel such as fighting enemy on their own (they used to entry/fight enemy with util support)

i think it came to perspective, go to boom esport replay live chat, when the match over many people types "Thats it? wowwww". Even in crazy moment not a single chat says anything

The international LAN showmatch with an unknown VAL influencer felt more serious than this BOOM vs TS game. At least make it entertaining for audience?! no? just4fun for players? ok :(

Different metas and teams are getting stronger over time, so prx w gaming playstyle isn't really that special anymore

RRQ has higher chance upset top team than boom, boom had slow start/slow to figure out how their opponent play (look recent match,many 0-4 / 2-4 start)

but peak boom vs peak rrq, boom win

Based on my experiences

Iron : Bunch of newbies/unserious competitive, mostly chill vibe. When u hear someone toxic or blaming, it must be because he thinks he knew better at the game just because seen some pros/streamer play.
Bronze : Same as above
Silver : The majority of player base, so it can range from people having fun or deranked gold player thinks they're the best or smurf. Literally what you would expect from average of valorant players.
Gold : big ego few skill, just because they're better than average player, not much a toxic tho, just mute them it's not like they giving coms or something.
Plat : same as gold, just bigger ego, at least from my experienced unless we getting destroyed 0-7 or something, we won't even initiate surrender in the first place. Beware of plat reyna demon tho.
Diamond : oh boy, so one of indo val influencer once made a podcast with rank booster as them guest for the topic, and he said diamond is the most asked rank to achieved by boosting. So the skill range can vary, not to mention sometimes the e-boy dating e-girl smurf here to accompany his gf, but for the most part it's chill tho everyone knew what they're doin and if they blamin or toxic it for valid reason (not justifying it).
Ascendant : .................., bunch of people think they deserves immortal and would yell out of their lung for every clutch mistake.
Immortal : So my peak was 70 rr immo 1, and from my experience it's somehow chill, like if someone botfragging hard (<5 kill) they just told them to uninstall, or stop using boosting service, and still typing gg.

So my answer is ascendant, they played like their life on the line, if they dont make it to immortal their career would be over.

yup yup, wasnt the worst. Just very questionable

Agree, isnt foxy9 fault tho. Poor foxy9 has to fill that gigantic shoe

BME -meow. Dude was asked to coach tier 1 teams on 2024, but he chooses to stay (i forgot, either the higher up ask him to stay or it's his own decision, it was on podcast with GLHFSON if u want to look it up, it's on english).

I dont even care lol if rrq succeed or not, i was boom diehard fans and they dissapointed me, so i changed to other indo orgs. If im being honest my favorite org rn probably sentinels

Dambi and the rest of the team are a perfect pair. Like I said (and as some Indonesian pros mentioned during Ascension watch parties), SPG was the best at playing a fast, flashy Neon game. Their teammates could keep up with the pace while still doing their jobs effectively. Without either Dambi or the rest of the team, SPG likely wouldn’t make it far back then.

I've noticed a pattern: many people rank SPG (NRF) highly on tier list when:

1. They haven't played in any offseason tournament (ya they probably wasnt invited by any TO, or they declined it).
2. Neon is their main weapon. Yes, they're a great team that can follow Dambi's pace, but it's not like Dambi is just running around using movement to get one kill while his team far behind. And as we know, Neon is getting nerfed in the next patch.
3. I would say every good team has adapted to the Neon meta. IF SPG somehow still makes it work post-nerf, then that's impressive.
4. As far as I know, we still have no clear information about the current team's performance during the offseason (scrims included). And being a "scrim demon" doesn't mean much right now—look at GE. They destroyed everyone in scrims (I've never seen them lose, at least leading in-game).

Well once dambi mastered traditional duelist or atleast jett (his wasnt bad, it just nothing crazy), it would be the refined PRX (coordinated chaos)

Pacific > Americas > Emea > China

2025 would be most competitive year for pacific, u literally could put DFM vs GENG and bet on DFM winning and i won't even doubt u

Persia
Trent
Sliggy (bias, no clue about doombros vision but sliggy shares every thought he has which i agree with)
Flor
Life
Boo
Patitek
Bang
Nobody
Valyn
Meiy

say again

The hype around RRQ fandom itself from indo fans, they have the biggest number of fans and DIE-HARD EXTREME FANS (to certain unhealthy level, i won't explain it any further). Not to mention, almost all of indonesian valo influencer endorsed by RRQ to support and host a watchparty every game RRQ Played. Ok thats why , because they're the team that many fans believe on their peak could beat top pacific team, but their normal game is decent and below talon normal game (which i call middle pack team).

VIVARRQ

I would change my flair back to BME if they decide to play neon OR atleast adapt to it and destroy enemy neon comp(if TS played it)

In his prime, he was almost at Chronicle regular level (yeah, call me crazy). But current Shao is inconsistent as hell. I wouldn’t mind if he gets replaced by some wonderkid initiator from Europe, nor would I mind if they decide to keep him

6.6/10

Since NA Challenger started, there have been no leaked scrimbux anymore (as far as I know), so we have no idea about the current roster of certain teams that haven't been finalized.

I take fluke champs winner any day of the week rather than trophyless, at least got something to flex

From my understanding, this isnt champs 2024 edg play. Either they're so lost and made a lot of mistakes, or they weren't expecting DFM to be so aggressive (many rounds EDG just play contact with no util, and they surprised by how much DFM had taken spaces, so EDG lost). Props to DFM, they're the underdogs but that might be the reason they took the initiative to play aggressive because they got nothing to lose anyway.

reputation

Yeah, I know. I was just quoting the local community, which I’m part of. Personally, I’d love to see Dos9 succeed and prove the doubters wrong. But for now, I only see him as a decent player that has same vision with the team.

Okay-decent, nothing crazy, might need some time to adapt. However, I understand the disappointment from Indonesian fans—sacrificing Indonesian comms they’re comfortable with and an import slot for a mid/decent player (at the moment). But yeah, in my opinion, the bigger issue with Boom is how they still don’t seem prepared for the Neon meta (u could say they saving strats, but from my POV they still act surprised by opponent neon outplay).

+40 and losing holy, wtf his teammate doin , must be lost a lot of number advantage

you goddamn right

308 Negra Arroyo Lane, Albuquerque, New Mexico. 87104. Thanks!!

rare baiter truth

I'll quit supporting BOOM until they actually try to follow the meta or at least cook meta of their own. Wtf was that split map, they still haven’t figured out how to counter Neon for two months ever since their loss to SPG???? It's not a bait, i actually disappointed.

flair + losing to naos (without papichulo who carried them through ascension) and boom destroyed them

There was no beef, we sided with indian bros in fl1pz tenten incident.

BOOM 2-0 GE (if they play with famouz)
Boom 2-1 GE close match 13-11, 1 map choked from boom (if they play with standin olil)

then why we don't see more pinoy get picked by tier1 team for their individual?

w

My man spg skipped all of offseason only to play nerfed neon patch, would they beat 1 agent trick allegation

allat

SPG???? Are you ready?

flag? friendly fire?

u could give better excuse bro

sayin bad day/their enemy on fire make a lot more sense

2024 season: easily bottom 2
2025 season (based on offseason): 9-12(along with BME, Zeta, and either TS/GE)

Xipto players + suzu + mel, fw enerii and shirazi heavily

Astra is a must, other than that it depends on team playstyle.

they could've even pulled aspas, boom ceo confirms. "We can afford the buyout, but his salaries are not in our budget (unless we drop other game division such as dota, because current dota roster cost a lottttt".

"We trialed 5 people, dos9 was our first player to trial there's also pacific player that we trial (not giving a name), but after some discussion we decide dos9 would fix our missing puzzle"

also, dos9 said "I've trialed for tier1 pacific org but they pick another import over me so yeah" which pretty much confirm GE.

lilo is an emergency stand in, they only practiced with him since monday.

0/8 rage bait

unofficial turnamen + masih pagi + mulai aja blm + ascension kmrn tiket full sold out

queen enerii mentioned!!!!! ngl she freakin farm on SEA server in high immo-radiant lobby

Dambi please take note from king lilo

it does, "100%" title exist and rewarded to person that guessed entire vct champions 2024 right, which no one did
