this is a reasonable take however drg are winning

nrg
vitality
geng (and t1, i gotta support my overwatch boys munchkin saya and carpe)
drg

yes igl is incredibly important
teams w/o a great igl share the role tho it isn't just one person always

yes

trent 3k spray transfer on fracture (crashies and saadhak plays were better but that clip went viral when it happened)
ardiis ascent a clutch
suygetsu breeze 4k

they'll slow down map releases

zekken has insane ceiling but not as a pure duelist. from my exp in overwatch the future is always increasing flexibility not specializing more.

ericdoa made lightskin anthem does that count

riot esports in russia is gone because of the war

the LCL (russian league in lol) was disbanded as well

african americans play fps games just not valorant rlly
they are rlly good at console games tho especially fighting games (ninjakilla in mk, sonicfox in every game, light/kola in ssbu)

curry is pakistani/indian (imma be fr i dont remember)

dre
takaS
bramz (idk if hes of african heritage but ik he was born in tunisia)
gtn
dgzin
zeldris
valyn
pa1nt
virtyy

2-0 eg nature masterclass lock it in

what a fucking cursed team

py0shit

i think itll be tuyz on maps where they dont wanna play harbor

kc duelist is marteen

tuyz is confirmed to not be fulltime duelist no?

why did this reply twice???

kc duelist is marteen

tuyz is confirmed to not be fulltime duelist no?

car showed up too late and reduxx is too young

i think the talent on display warrants a mention

jawgemo on fulltime duelist
runner
jemkin
tvirusluke or fengf

kr1stal
v1c
MOLSI
yoman (as a player)
yesican
deathmaker (as a token indian on ge)
sociablee
jlerst
verno
koalanoob

nismo not included bc i think he choses to stay in t2 for family and restaurant reasons

been inactive for years but one other incredibly snubbed player was art1st

buzz is very good but forsaken is a 1-of-1 player in terms of his ability to perform in pretty much any possible scenario within a game

NRG 2-0 but furia r competitive on both maps

i think when i watch both zekken is just more impressive idk, keznit is close tho

zekken eye test clears but keznit is also up there fs americas r just different

might have a new team to support

i would not agree with the shahz call and steel and vanity are close but i def see ur angle depending on how you evaluate igling (which with just the vods is incredibly difficult)

in north america

if you watch the games the actual calling was significantly better than that of senitnels/100t, who (the other relevant north american teams in 2021) the best igl of 2021 overall is a very complex question i am genuinely not sure i can answer. the other argument would be for vanity among the na igls in 2021

aspas
mako
less
crashies
forsaken (actually flexible player)
igl fns (was the best igl in na by far in 2021, even on the older envy lineups with ppl like akis c4lypso mummay kaboose)

ik just dont care

yfp r goated

they signed a coach to play its AGover

i wouldn't say hes like demon1. demon1 had years of exp in UT4 before moving to valorant

the player he reminds me of in terms of valorant would be jingg

no i graduate in june i have a 1300 sat but it doesnt matter in 2024 i fear

agree

yes but i think having more time esp with a set 5 since they cant swap zeno in randomly anymore will make them more stable

also same can be said abt most chinese teams

tec if rb or abo play bad are piss (probably), same with jdg and stew although hes super consistent atp

they shouldnt be above jd just in the same tier

i have like 70% attendance no one better will take me

chronicle has a lot more ??? moments but i agree his mechanics are better than ethan's although not by much

leo is insane but ppl underrate crashies bc he was throwing util for ardiis instead of for a good player, i think he's closer to leo than ppl think

drg 4 spots below jdg when they beat a better version of the jdg roster

can i room with u if i get into temple i dont want to pay for an apartment

dfm have the chance to do the funniest thing ever

chronicle = ethan
leo only > crashies
alfa >>> vic
demon1 > derke
marved >>> boaster

boaster calling > ethan calling (with crashies+victor secondary calling)

chet > elmapuddy

fnc=nrg

fnatic cant beat nrg as long as they have derke chronicle boaster igl and elmapuddy

he has some of the best aim and entry pathing of any player i have seen in tac fps history

its incredible

nvm ge owns that fraud

i love the snake meme but chet is genuinely a goat coach contender and will be instrumental in nrg's dominance (and subsequent champions final loss to dragon ranger gaming)

esp knowing the rest of the liquid roster

id assume that if liquid got vanity they wouldn't have the other apeks players tho

true
