Abyss - Sova Kayo Cypher Jett Omen

Team: DRX

Bind - Fade Gekko Viper Brim Raze

Team: TH

Sunset - Sova Kayo Cypher Omen Neon

Team : EDG

i'm inspired

I hope Riot identifies the specific game designer(s) who designed neon

I wanna write some emails and make sure their current/future employers understand what they accomplished in that project

he won champs before the neon meta and got 3rd during it

counterpoint, if they lost to them then they weren't a more deserving team

They definitely can qual, they have 4 players who hit rank 1 consistently, but if it happens imo its gonna be through lowers because winthrop should take them out

keep this going yall i know there is more out there

Something sova debut?

WillFPS

OG LOUD is still the greatest team ever assembled

Overall good list but imo:

Skye should be higher, especially post-nerf

Phoenix should be lower, its just flash swing and maybe if you care learn a molly lineup or two

Cypher needs to be a little higher, and forsure above viper. There's a lot of depth and nerdiness that goes into him, especially considering adaptations.

Gekko needs to be WAY lower, like cmon, he is so easy. The sage of initators.

Sova is up there but im not sure about #1. I think you're really overrating lineups. The best sovas in the world are not mega-lineup nerds. Besides Ascent (lineup nerd heaven) you can learn everything you need for each map in 25 mins or less.

And I have won money on Sova and been deep down the Heymrmiumiu, Johnnypkay, Tseeky, Snapiex, Draobrevoh, Valorant Lab, vladkor, etc lineup rabbit-hole, I know my lineups.

amen

Pujan 'FNS' Mehta the pride of India for now and forever

of course it wasn't 'common' because it was a nickname. It's not common to hear people call Aspas 'The Final Boss' either, but that's what his nickname is/was

plenty did, he even referenced it when he got signed

wish i could change the title to '2nd coolest player lore' because nothings ever beating this:

FAM 😳 WHEN ARE YOU GONNA BE HOME 🏠 HES LIKE 😫 30 MINUTES 30 MINUTES 3️⃣ 0️⃣ IM CHILLIN RN 😎 IM LIKE 💅 COME HOME RIGHT NOW 😈 HES LIKE WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY 😕 IM LIKE 😳 YOU WANNA PLAY A MATCH 🔥 RING 📞 FOR IMT 👑 PLAY AGAINST T 1️⃣ IM COMING HOME RIGHT NOW. HE ZOOMED HOME, ZOOMED HOME, HOPS ON, TOP FRAGS. THAT BOY DIFFERENT.

fill me in on the zeek lore

coolest

lore

if we're being honest it's a pretty goofy name

Who has the coolest player lore/in-game backstory?

ex:

Demon1: Some guy named demon1 that nobody's heard of starts frying t2 and quickly gets the nickname "Cheater1"

Primmie: Mysterious thai kid hitting rank one every act in his region and every pro swears he's the best aimer they've ever faced

---------------
Edit: I'm not talking about what they did before val, but like obscure stories from their in-game rise through the ranks.

Like n1cf's alfajer story (below) or the infamous Zekken Perc30fishfillet arc

Whats the big deal?

There was a recent thread about failed superteams so I went back to see what people were saying

It's like reading the diary entries of Titanic passengers

Liquid 2023 gotta be higher

not only that, its one game from an offseason event lol

SEN could literally still win it all tmmr

Australia vs being relevant in Valorant

yeah but how are you supposed to know something doesn't work until you actually try it in a match. Your only indication beforehand is the scrims
----------------------------
Random t2 player named demon1 is frying in scrims

"WTF EG BENCHED THEIR BEST PLAYER FOR SOME T2 PLAYER"

GEN.G vs DRX

N4rrate vs Verno

Riens vs Leo

Vitality players egos vs other Vitality players egos

Benjy vs Alfajer

Derke vs Kaajak

Karon vs Mako

Bang vs Zander

Meteor vs Foxy9

GE vs TS

John actually looked pretty good on skye so at least you have that lol

That's a pretty comfy win condition ngl

exactly why I see a rivalry developing

Magic Johnson vs Larry Bird type shit

oh i've imagined

https://www.vlr.gg/416918/dynasty-roster

^^^^^^

#2 and #3 proving my point

I think we're seeing the start of a rivalry...

AND IM ALL FOR IT

Neon obv broken but ur bigger problem is Zekken is gonna do the same thing on raze next map lmao

Something looking like he's gonna be Jett/Fade/Sova next year

https://tracker.gg/valorant/profile/riot/PRX%20something%23112/overview

its not real lol

But somehow this is : https://www.vlr.gg/340949/tsm-vs-yfp-gaming-challengers-league-2024-north-america-stage-1-ro12

real asf

No matter what criteria you use, there are plenty of games harder than league

Reviving this so yall find more stuff

The consequence of long term phantom use

Its so good it makes you lazy

GOAT

On top of that he's playing the worst agent in the game in an experimental comp against what might be the best team in americas

can you clip it? this is an open source project 😂

https://x.com/JuniorXL4/status/1851713153706660007

I might have found the Sacy one, but I don't speak portuguese. Can you translate/confirm?

Can someone compile a master-list of every pro/coach that complained about neon, asked for nerf, etc. Tweets, Twitch Clips, Comments on a podcast, whatever.

Oxy gotta be in this discussion

people out here naming benjyfishy the goat cypher, someone has to set them straight

After they learned rollies were on the line and Boaster locked Yoru

at the end of the day it can't be proven, you're right

But we have multiple lines of evidence that heavily suggest it. 1 2

a fair and square win is a win

Did they really prove they were the best without any doubt? The Answer is a clear no.

the analogy of the injury is that the players could not participate

Obviously they can't participate, but that's where the similarities end. I don't like this injury analogy altogether because the potential for injury in physical sports is an inherent fact of life. Being denied a visa because of xyz is not. Saying 'oh well they're both just things out of your control' is grossly oversimplifying it.
