garnetS, Patiphan (though he quit so does it really count?)
Too early to say anything but I think they need to play with more structure and set-plays. Frost is letting them play too free and they just peek unfavourable fights.
Thyy is still a rookie, he has time to grow but if I have a choice, I would let him play as a 6th man.
Primmie (Sentinel)
Jitboys (Smoke)
Crws (IGL/Flex)
GarnetS (Duelist)
Killua (Flex)
Honestly I've been backing garnetS since day one but I don't think anyone is this TALON team is worth dropping. They changed 2 players, changed comm language and changed roles ~ this team still has a lot of room to grow and Primmie needs to develop as a duelist not just a guy with insane mechanics.
Bad day for TALON as a whole, blaming the rookie is unfair. This is a learning lesson for them, they got away with beating TS last week but it wasn't convincing at all and now they face their first loss. Primmie needs to be humbled, and the team needs to stop thinking they can win every aim duel even in unfavourable positions.
We look ass. Roster is insane but today was genuinely some of the worst VALORANT I've watched. I think there is now too much Freedom on this team and we need some structure, constant overheats, dumb pushes like WTAF. I don't usually get pissed at games but this one genuinely made me mad.
Idk, I'm like the most casual anime enjoyer ever but:
I also really liked Spy x Family just as a chill watch.
Stems from jealousy I guess. I don't see an issue with it, he has loyal fans, let them support him regardless of win or loss. I do disagree with them hopping on hate trains and threads as soon as there is the slightest criticism of Jinggg though and you can never really isolate both situations.
Someone reuploaded the episode from the Valorant Indonesia channel whereby the original video was posted (which included Juvenile speaking a lot). Likely due to the recent drama/controversy regarding him, they are trying to distance themselves and cut any part which includes him talking out. They've never explicitly stated anything or punishment but I guess they just did this to for PR sake.
Honestly, how are NA casters this bad.
Hope everyone is safe from the earthquake, I'm not currently in Thailand but my family and friends are.
Just give me all the noodles regardless of the country but honestly, my comfort food is Thai Pad Kra Pao and when I feel lazy I just make Kimchi Jiggae.
ZETA Syouta sleeper pick.
NKT choking and making questionable calls. Name a better duo.
Yes, but I also think that many of his overheats were due to him making on the fly calls/pushes while asking for stuns/flashes but due to the language barrier, this information may have been processed slower. Besides, Governor CAN aim, it's just that I think this playstyle fucks with his aim and crosshair placement that just ruins him for the rest of the game. I think he looks solid on the initiator role and I think if Flor is playing main duelist, then Governor could do well as an initiator or secondary duelist.
He is a decent player and will work on a team that utilises him well, he's willing to adapt and fill for the team and a selfless teammate is vital. I think the comm issues in TALON really impacted Governor's performance and I think he will shine much better on a different team.
Does no one want to coach for them or just the fact that all of them are playing for fun and won't be willing to commit hours into the game?
Meanies.
This new TALON roster will do wonders since they're all (aside from Crws sorry) mechanically insane youngsters. If Crws and Frost/Jovi can rally these players into a solid and cohesive team with solid macro and strats I think this team will at minimum be fighting for top of PACIFIC (I'm biased but I'm also realistic when I say TALON now has 4 mechanical demons).Though I think without Crws this team would struggle without a leader and IGL with a strong game understanding. It could also all fall flat since mechanics aren't everything but Frost and co have such a good job at turning Jitboys into an insane anchor with great game understanding, Crws has evolved so much as an IGL and Primmie is just getting started.
Z11 and TALON Academy also looked stacked for talents that could potentially be brought up. Really hoping for FULL SENSE to win Ascension this year if they make it and finally get 2 Thai orgs in PACIFIC since there is too much talent that deserves a chance on Tier 1.
Manifesting a TALON come up story just like T1. Moving from International to Full Thai and then winning it all
The fuck is the point of a home crowd if people are cheering for everyone. This whole event all teams were getting cheered on for both sides. This was the finals and the PACIFIC representative has the chance to take home a GLOBAL win for PACIFIC. Why the fuck wouldn't the home crowd cheer for their region. They remain respectful, no boos and there was still cheers from the crowd. If anything the crowd reveals work in favour of both sides, when G2 spammed smokes, the crowd noises might've given cues that they tagged someone. This is a LAN event and this happens in every crowd.
Loud minority, as a Thai person (with relatively fair skin) we are really diverse and no one (except the dumb yet vocal minority) really cares what the Thai character looks like unless she is of course a completely different ethnicity. If she speaks Thai and has Thai voice lines and presents Thai characteristics then I am happy with the inclusion regardless of whether I look like her or not. From the showmatch I think I only heard one Thai voice line so I really hope there is more.
She could be Southern Thai or Eastern Thai near the Cambodian border where people generally are associated with a darker skin tone and the South having more 'Malay' genetics. It really doesn't matter though I just wanted a character that didn't really play into typical Thai stereotypes of either a Muay Thai hero or Transgender (nothing wrong with being trans of course) or something that was so outwardly and overwhelmingly Thai that they overdid it, so it's nice to see a hero that is simply Thai by nationality and not confined to a box where they have to be a Muay Thai fighter or monk or float on lotuses or ride elephants lol.
I think TALON will have to iron out a lot of things in the early stages but the peak of this team is very, very high. From an unbiased perspective, I think RRQ and NS will overtake TALON initially as they begin to adapt and I believe the new players will fly to Korea this week? However, I'm really hoping they come out all cylinders firing and shock tier 1.
However, if all 5 are firing to their maximum capabilities this team can totally be top 3 pacific at least. I trust in Frost's antis and strats and I believe that Crws will have an easier time calling with all 5 speaking the same language. Plus there is pre-existing chemistry with the young talents through various ex teams and ranked buddies. If Frost can coach these young talents who already have a strong individual understanding of the game into team-orientated and smart players, I think this is literally the Thai superteam.
Crazy that the guy who actually watches all the regions and puts in the time recognises the competitive region.
As a Chemical Engineering graduate, what the fuck is baby rudin?
Surf is on TALON academy, idk why VLR still thinks Surf is on the main roster.
This is just a common theme with RIOT game franchises no? League is very much the same and VALORANT is basically the FPS equivalent or supposedly tries to be. It has always been this way as well in Asia especially hence why VALORANT is big on casual gamers and playerbase. Better to target an opening in the market than try to get CS fans to shift over which they know they won't since the remaining playerbase is either die hard fans or gamblers and skin merchants.
TALON with its full Thai roster decides to overthrow the Korean overlords and clench a spot in the top 2.
Do you have a timestamp, since they're in Thailand my guess would be a Thai inhaler. It's like a natural herby, peppermint inhaler that really clears your airways and is addictive. Every Thai person will carry one around and it helps with nausea and dizziness + on stage might help with concentration/taking your mind off a lost round etc.
But APAC is a lot less top heavy. EDG looks amazing but Trace looked mediocre. DRX dominated SEN and honestly should've won their next 2 games had they not been serial chokers owing to inexperience of the rookie players. TALON (When players actually shoot back) and RRQ look like they can square up to the Korean teams on their given days. I REALLY hope that with TALON's new roster we become serious contenders for the Top 2 since the talent is there, it just depends how long it will take to implement the new system of full Thai with Thai comms all while still having international coaches.
DRX or EDG. EDG for the storyline but DRX cuz I'm rooting for them and I want 'rookies' to shine.
fyi, blud has the most google-translated phrasing I've ever seen.
Thai food, but REAL Thai food and not the stuff sold in normal Thai restaurants around the world.

He has pop off games but when you watch him consistently his whiffs and FDs on the lurk just become too apparent, he is far too inconsistent and a burden with the already inconsistent Crws.
Lots of talented Thais can co-IGL, if they manage to poach Laz from FS they have a solid IGL with decent macro and game understanding and shooter on their hands. Don't feed on the Frost ban copium, I'm sure ban is a good co-igl and calm in the team but his other aspects make him lack too much. They might be worse in the beginning, but they have some time to practice and there will undoubtedly be a higher ceiling with better mechanical players.
You remove Jitboys and we have problems. Arguably the best and most consistent TALON player for these past 2 seasons and only shown improvements.
Z11 looked lost on map 1 and map 2 was just a series of the worst chokes imaginable despite being the better team. Such an off day for Z11 that ended up costing them. Still though, this team has a bright future and eyes will be on them.
Kudos to JA tho, what a 2nd map for him to basically win the game for his team. His lurk timings were impeccable.
Something something, I only watch NA VALORANT and apparently I'm blind when watching as well so I'm literally making this list off audio cues I heard from the casters.
TALON serial chokers regardless of the main or academy team xD.
Keiko ~ my Thai-British brother, I will support you and the pacific teams, make me proud!
Sad for Thai fans but hopefully Frost realises now that some changes need to be made. Especially with how disastrous the GENG game was simply because his team wasn't good enough. There was no unlucky, there was no major issues with the gameplay, just pure difference.
If you're a Pacific fan, then cheer for Pacific man! Let's get another Trophy in Asia for Asia!
They don't need to be Primmie's level ~ they just need to be better than ban and governor of which Thailand has in abundance but we lack good coaches and if the team were to go full Thai, would Frost actually stay and workaround the language barrier?
