UUUUUMMAAAAAAA MÁAAAAAQUINAAAAAAA

I think that it's the other way around, since Loud didn't played double controllers before, and they needed Cauanzin more agressive, they changed their composition.
I mean, they tried double controllers on Ascent with Cauanzin on Skye, and Loud's Ascent with Sacy and Pancada was one of the best in the world.

But Idk, maybe you're right

True, she's 94% on Pearl now

Valorant Esports BR posted this tweet about Skye pickrate increasing overtime, leading to 100% pickrate on Pearl, Split and Lotus in VCT Americas: https://twitter.com/valesports_br/status/1648035560253014017?t=TSF_7ysue8CwuTOcj3yaWQ&s=19

They describe it as "Loud Effect".
Just for context, Frod (Loud Head Coach) said in a Podcast that it was a waste of potential for Cauanzin to play Sova. So they switched their play style to be more aggressive , and for Cauanzin to play Skye (Sacy played Sova, Fade and sometimes Breach).

It's a very expressive pickrate change since Lock//In, which ended last month.

Thoughts?

Double it and give it to the next person

Why everyone is trying to tell me that a team with the 2 best controller players of 2022 will play better if NONE OF THEM play smokes?

Understandable.

But that doesn't explaing Sacy on Controller whle Pancada on Sentinel.
On top of that, isn't sentinel the easiest role to call? Why is he playing Initiator (Skye, Kayo, Breach) with Sacy on his team, or controller (Harbor Astra) with pancada on his team?
And the preparation and their map pools wouldn't be better if they not change half of the team roles?

But I guess I can't question it cause vlr brain

It's not just obviously that, since TenZ is underperforming, so there is player issues.

But is nice to see that you can talk respectfully, well done

What rank Sykko must be to have 2 Champion winners and 2 Masters winners in his roasters and still be 1-2?

No, it's vlr General Discussion, made for discuss general things, such as Sentinels bad performances, their Coach being kicked, and what the new coach can do in their next matches.

Since you came here, any suggestions?

i dOn'T KnOw BRo NeVEr Did thIs bEfoRE

One time I got 100% HS in a ranked game.

I killed 3.

When we watched Loud formation, it was clear that Saadhak was training Less, Sacy was training Aspas, and pANcada was being like an anchor for the team. I don't think it's true that they were a fraud, but their sinergy is no longer the same.

Now the veteran players are training Tuyz and Cauanzin, and Saadhak is teaching Less how to be an IGL (confirmed in one of his streams). They're all young players with a top IGL to guide them, so imo the sinergy is way better than in previous roaster.

I understand, but I have some points on this composition:

1. Zekken is fragging like a Duelist as a Initiator. His potential is bigger than TenZ right now. And if you move him to Duelist, Sacy can be the Initiator.
2. pANcada can be good as a sentinel, but he's not the best sentinel. But he's one of the best controllers, and neglect him this role is just dumb.
3. I don't think that they will change the IGL at this point. Probably they will just change the roles and hope that the team plays better. So at this moment, Deph probably will stay on the team.
4. Tenz personal life has being brutal last weeks, so I think it's fair to bench him. He's a good player but is underperforming so bad recently

Not Topic Related, But It Just Hurt My Mind Reading With Every First Letter Being Capitalized.

That one C9 that lost to Loud?

I think they will get the most out of their roaster using these comps

If they use the double controller comp, pANcada can anchor one site with Viper like a sentinel, and Marved can be the Astra/Brim/Harbor/Omen.
I know that is not that simple, but they're not in a good spot to let their best players play in different roles

And I saw some people saying that Marved just got his Visa but idk if it's true

1. Phantom Player
2. Raze Player
3. Duar Bala

So, now that Sykko is out, what do you think that they will change for the upcoming matches?
Personally, I think that Sentinels should stick to the double-controllers compositions so they can put Marved and pANcada to play at their bests, and bench TenZ for his personal problems.

Sacy - Initiator (as it should be)
Zekken - Duelist (the kid is on fire)
Marved & pANcada - Controllers (the 2 best controllers in 2022)
Deph - Sentinel (A safe pick to IGL)

A lot of maps (if not all) they can use this formation, and if there is a map that they don't, just ban it. IMO this is the logical solution to put all their players in the most confortable situation. Obviously it could be less sinergy, but they will need to change something.

+21 against Leviathan, but yeah, a fraud

It seems that they're scrimming with this comp ngl. As long as they're winning why bother?

I just saw a discussion about the Americas dreamteam and Khalil was not there I DON'T KNOW WHY.
Hope he continues to play at this level

I'm watching almost every match in VCT Americas, and by far Khalil had one of the best performances that I watched.
FURIA can beat LOUD next week if Khalil stay consistent and other player like DGzin and Mwzera perform as well.

Time: 41:55 (No english subtitles)

From what they said:

1. It was in Masters in Iceland;
2. In play-offs;
3. The team is from EMEA;
4. Less said it was a stomp.

Options: Team Liquid and G2.
So, there's only G2 right?

Now he has time to COME TO BRAZIL.

But what I really want is that some franchise team picks him, and them he can COME TO BRAZIL in 2023

Na verdade a Loud era Sacy - Saad - NZR - Aspas.
O Pancas era o melhor controlador FA do mercado e é baludo então ele veio pro bolo.
Depois viram que o NZR não ia poder fazer parte do time e o Onur recomendou o Less.

Loud x Optic
Matches: 3-3
Maps: 9-9
Rounds: 197-200
Titles: 1-1

Iceland: 2x1
Iceland: 0-3
Denmark: 1x2
Turkey: 1x2
Turkey: 2x0
Turkey: 3x1

I wanted to do all maps results but it would take so much time. But only seeing this we can tell that this rivalry is extremely tied.

Can someone explain me what exactly happen to Optic?

What I understood is: Viktor and Crashies contract with Optic expired so they decided to FA, while FNS, Marved, Yay and Chet contract still have some time, so they stayed.
Is that right? So if Viktor and Crashies renew the contract, Optic will still have the same line even if it's competing out of franchises?

I feel bad for them, that was a good rivalry. I hope that they can reunite again in another org, if not gl to all of them in their future orgs.

Não vou dize quais times vão ser, mas quem eu espero que não fique de fora em cada função kkkkkkk

Duelist:
Mwzera
DGzin

Flex:
NZR
QCK

Initiator:
Cauazin
Shion

Smoke:
Khalil
v1xen

Sentinels:
Bezn1
Xand

Why are this guys triyng to argument who was better in a competition that was tied or close in every single aspect?

I don't mind saying that those were the best teams in 2022. And even being a Loud fan I'm extremely sad that Optic Disband. I wanted that this rivalry (the biggest rivalry between 2 teams from diferent regions) to continue.

F to Optic line.

From this list, my Top 5 would be:

1. Saadhak (The mastermind, O Popadas)
2. Xand (playing KJ)
3. NZR
4. Xand (playing duelists)
5. Murizzz
6. Nyang

I'm probably cheating putting Nyang that high, bc I didn't really saw his IGLing beeing effective. But when he show up as an analyst in Brazilian broadcast we could understand how he communicates and how he thinks. The clean communication and game analysis made me believe he is one of the Top 5 IGL.

I don't even remember what the meta was in that time lol

I think they should rollback that round. Clearly it was a bug

This was discussed in the Brazilian broadcast. Spacca (former CS player for Furia, now Valorant analyst) said that this type of player is very common in CS, but Valorant is already quite "noob-friendly" and that makes the work of an IGL much easier.

The questions raised were: does Optic only work with FNS? In such a dynamic game, does his negative frag compensate for the ingenious tactics he creates? Is there no fragger IGL in NA that matches Optic?

Optic sixth player.
Only appears in the moments they need the most.

Dude, if they decide to split this team it will be the dumbest decision in Competitive Valorant

This is literally the year of their roaster, and they will sell it. Stonks

Wait, what?

They can ban 2 maps and start picking.

So I think they will ban Pearl and Fracture and start picking icebox or ascent.

It will be the fifth time, I just counted it wrong.

So, are there two teams from different regions that played as much against each other in Master/Champions as Loud and Optic?
Is there a way that we can see these stats?

O cara postou isso tem UMA SEMANA. A Optic realmente perdeu pra Loud (ontem).

Pode ser soberbo, mas pelo menos ele acertou

But significant skill bugs will get round rollback on the rules. For me, the replay is fair.

If you want to blame someone, it's all Riot fault that they are doing SHIT about these bugs in the game.

I know a lot of you don't know but XRM and Spacca is GOD TIER

UUUUUUUMMAAAAAAA MÁQUINAAAAAAA

I'm sure he will send me the Ultimate Death Threath.
But I have no worries, I'm already in other region, and they will defend me when the time comes.

Too late Brazilians! I already muted the notifications and close the DMs.
But before that I twiteed that I was receiving Death threaths, so everyone will be on my side!

Ok guys, I have to admit we were lying to you all this time. I wasn't supposed to expose this to the world, but here I go.

We (Every person on the Valorant Brazilian community) reunite in our small village called Brazil everytime someone talks shit about brazilians, and then, with the communitary phone that all of us share, take turns of 10 minutes to log on our twitter fake accounts to send a death threath. It's part of the ritual of our uncivilized tribe.

It's mandatory that all of us send at least one death threath per day, so this is way people say "brazilian community" "you brazilians" "brazilian fans". It's because everyone sended that person one Death threath, there is no thing as "generalizing" we all are rotten human beings. we invented some words to vitimize ourselfs, those are: Racism and Xenophobia. Like, everyone knows that those things are invented right? And not even one of you, superior people from other regions, done such thing as discriminate someone, this is so old. It's common knowledge that Martin Luther King invented racism, this don't happen in real live. And the mexicans invented Xenophobia, this is just a pretty word.

I am sorry for all the death threaths that we all send to you! You are right to be mad at every brazilian that you see for those threaths. If possible insult us on twitter.

"i'm kind of disappointed on brazilian fans :("

You said as if everyone of us instantly close the stream when loud won, and then like a unga-bunga primal ritual started to send death threats to every person that Satan chose.

Bruh, do you know that this is not even close to the majority of us, right?

When you want to say something bad about the BR community: You can say it, offending who you want to offend, and then use your "Death threaths" trump card. Then don't prove it and generalize as if all 210 million brazilians sended you a DM threatening you. It's 100% success.

Dude, this is happening so many times, aren't you tired? Bc I am. Dealing with all the "death threaths" before you did it this same way, and all you do is segregate the community and build a preconception about all of us.

When we say something like this your usual reply: 'Why don't you tell to 'your people' to stop sendind those types of DMs?". Like, really?
How would you respond to me if I say "How about you tell 'your people' to stop beeing racist and xenophobic?"

This is so annoying and dumb. Just send those fucking stupid threaths to the police, how about that? Or exposing them on the internet? Report these accounts?
