the french government brainwashed n0rrate into becoming a bot during his time on KC

sumn fc: tsack and moe40 🔥🔥

1 year in berlin is so dreadful it drove a young T2 prospect to retirement

tarik should get the spot on SENs roster he won it in a fair 1v1

bro went -1 against tarik blow the roster up (and nuke france)

its rigged to make the new roster look good if team tarik was trying itd be 13-0

you have a very worrying parasocial relationship with a corporation

2, we got koalanub to navi

thank you for leaving keke

I think kingg is a smart player and a good shooter and I dont doubt him to be all around really good. But I also think that strategically, LEV have looked poor at some of the most crucial moments this year and there was a lot of times where the team looked genuinely disjointed.

They are rumoured to sign a grand total of 5 + whatever the fuck EG is gonna do

Maybe im crazy but I think lev need a better caller

I mean yeah their coaching was questinable, but this is clearly not their only issue. They are probably the richest EMEA org and consistently field mid rosters (the only time it felt like they really tried was the 2023 roster, but that was a disaster). I dont believe liquid are trying to have a top tier valrant roster anymore. They are just trying to be just good enough to retain the franchise spot.

I dont disagree. I think BR and SA has some good talent, but it has been proven by now that they can only field one or two solid rosters. Furia/mibr should probably be considered for removal at some point. If not, they will probably just turn into NA teams anyways at some point.

The problem with liquid is that good is all they are. They are such an okay, safe roster (similar to last year). They probably wont lose to the bad teams, but they wont really challange EMEAs top teams. Theyre most likely not getting any quals for internationals, and at that point it doesnt really matter anymore if youre in the middle or at the bottom of EU.

From a neutral standpoint, its hard to deny america, and especially NA have all in all been the strongest region in Val. I am slightly worried though that they are very hesitant to bring up some of the really god T2 players recently. I feel like NA should probably have the highest possible player age and loads of players are just recycled between the teams.

I think EMEA is doing much better at developing fresh and exciting prospects than NA and we are seeing loads of new faces in T1. In NA the only ones that are actually investing into strong T2 players seem to be NRG. I understand that this is also a result of NA having less teams than EU, and lets face it, most of EMEAS "established" pros are not all that, but, do you think a lack of new talent could be detrimental to NA as a region going forward?

bro would probably worship kamo

The rule is just to field minimum 2 GC players, no minimum for non gc players

Yeah I doubt many teams care that much, I was just surprised that G2 pulls up with that typa roster, theyre taking this a bit too serious lol. Shouldve at least put 3 GC players.

Oh damn. I guess its kinda whatever because this tournament is just gonna be G2 playground icl

Yeah they will most likely slot in ine of the emea players, and theyll probably either announce just that player for now or just everyone at once.

For KC fans- there is a high likelyhood we will see at least 1 transfer oficially announced by tomorrow. The vct spotlight series (mixed female/male teams) starts tomorrow, and most teams bring a mixture of their vct and gc squads. KC seems to have a spot open, theyre bringing marteen and 3 GC players. Likely they will anounce á player that will then fill this slot.

The utility was good... amongst a bunch of bums. And even then Id argue boaster had better util usage.
Boaster was better rated then zombs at every tournament they both played in and he was better rated at tokyo and sao paolo than zombs was at reykjavik, while IGLing too. There is quite literally 0 chance zombs is a better smokes player than him.
Shao at copenhagen was also leagues above anything zombs ever did.

zombs won a masters at the point where the strategic level of valorant was at its lowest, ranking below boaster in said tournament and then vanished from the face of the earth

9/10 but disagrees with tenz, then claims he has no issues with tenz on the list and hasnt watched some of the other players top 10 smartest vlr user

you have an issue with tenz but think zombs is just right on this list

i swear anime has gotten so lame and copy paste nowadays its crazy

n0t

if NA gets zekken at least let us have sayf or derke brah

true

let it go rob youre too old for this

Vitality is maybe like 40% great 60% collapse for me
TL is cooking nothing but mid, this is not a winning team but we should be used to the fact that TL aren’t actually trying to be a contender in Val by now
KC Avez isnt a sentinel only player he is a good flex, I doubt someone with suygetsus experience would have a hard time switching to smokes either, elite stays sentinel. I wouldn’t be too worried about this one at all tbh.
FNC will be good because they have a strong core and kaajak will probably do fine, but if there was no major internal issues replacing derke with him was a poor decision to satisfy management. Kaajak is not as young as some of the other T2 talent and just a solid all rounder duelist, but w dont know how he will do in T1 and how he will mesh with the rest. They basically traded a duelist that they know is great and works with their team for a gamble that could turn sour just to have a player thats like a year younger than derke and as far as we know isnt much more skilled then him either.
NAVI Keeping angel is… a choice i guess. I like hiro and ruxic and im sure shao will be fine. Dont know if they needed to get koalanoob when there is plenty of talented duelists in emea to go around. (homestly couldve used the import slot for a better IGL or something). They need to pray vitality collapse though or else I dont see them making an international over TH, FNC, KC and VIT

Leaving out navis worst roster move because hes your countryman I see

my guy put bbl in B as if theyre not rocking with one singular player so far

s0m is the face of unemployment

they have a bunch of okay subs from other teams with an okay core, this team is just a boring safe play that will not achieve a single thing this season, as always

i made it all up

welllll magnum might be worse

lulquid

and 2025 loud is a homeless shelter

1. gozen flair 2. dawgemo owns you

unfortunately none of that talent made it onto 100t

fnc arent announcing shit the days pretty much over in eu

the real question is why everyone believed that any org would rush to announce rosters on the first day possible

they cant pay their own players salaries their asses will not buy xeus

sayfs aura after contemplating retirement halfway through the season

Id argue their new roster is much much better than they were back then

You think its more likely that a team scrimmed and decided to make a cotnract with him in a 9 hour timeframe than him agreeing with geng who have probably been negotiating with him for a while now?

sen could field a 3 man roster and they wouldn’t be as terrible as nrg

they dont want to risk being a fluke so they will risk nuking the roster that makes a lot of sense
