He is now deal with it. and chichoo and smoggy are amazing too, but not talking about them rn. You can't be the best player in the world getting diffed in the biggest games, simple as that

Tired of hearing this aspas talk, bro entries when he feels like it and buys OP on attack when he feels like it, whereas my goat Kangkang entries every round and gets first kills at a rate unseen before. 20 first bloods in a champs upper final, he diffed y'all's "goat" to hell, and is the real best duelist in the world.
Free the kid, he deserves better
I would probably say either ascent and bind or ascent and sunset. Depends really cause imo Sunset is both team's best maps, and I think Heretics is better on it. That's why I said it'd be worse to play against Heretics cause all their good maps are good maps for EDG too, just makes it kind of a tossup.
Yeah it has been their Perma ban the whole tournament pretty much. Also, SEN wouldn't have any bans if they end up in GF, as EDG would have both map bans since they came from upper bracket.
Rather play SEN, ban haven ban ascent, can't do that against heretics because they share all their best maps with EDG.

The script was already written, Heretics must move on...
China is here, Chichoo is the best player in the world idc, KK clears aspas, give us SEN, give us Heretics, doesn’t matter TROPHY SOON!!!
It’s all unfolding, goats are ready to takeover, Chichoo is 2021 Nats reincarnated, KK > aspas, TROPHY IS COMING TO CHINA
If the leak is accurate and the rest of her kit is not complete dogshit, we're going to see kayo vyze comps in every single game. No abilities no guns just knife fights, can't wait.
Very close second, I just lean towards having impact on smokes v. other roles. Chichoo plays his role exceptionally, but what Smoggy provides for his team is pretty invaluable, like every top team needs a player not on a star role to have impact outside of utility (2022 Marved, Leo, Karon, etc). Chichoo has for sure proved he is a top sentinel in the world though.
No surprise honestly, he's been EDG's best player all tournament.
I never understood why all the pros complain about ranked but I do now. I really believe any fairly mechanically sound Asc+ player could hang in a professional environment, assuming they are brought up to speed on gameplans/setups and what not. If you try to play ranked with a logical mindset, you will lose more than you win, and imo is reflective on the game's current state. Making the statistically dumb play actually becomes a smart play when you're in a comp lobby. Going to test this theory by instalocking Reyna for 25 games in a row and playing as idiotic as possible.
Whoever wins champs this year will be #1 anyways
It makes games towards the end of the stage meaningless. Like if two bottom of the standings teams play, it's quite literally a filler game with 0 implications, where as even those games had meaning this year as that 1 point might be the difference between you qualifying to champs or not.
Yeah it's just gonna be top 4 of stage 2 that make champs.
Not a fan that they're changing the format to where Stage 1 doesn't carry over to Stage 2. Ruins teams like SEN this year, who are top 4 at champs, from being able to make runs just because they have a shaky second stage. I feel the championship points thing was great cause it makes every game matter.
Personally I think people underestimate how good new agents are when they're not clearly broken (Fade). Deadlock was viewed as unplayable, but eventually became a solid pick on some maps. Hell, even Chamber on release wasn't played that much, it took a little time before people realized he was just a better Jett. That's just the nature of things though, people are quick to pass judgement.
EDward, you have to game this one time
Accounting for relative skill of the competition on the year, Yay was better. Not accounting for that, 2021 Tenz was the best player ever and most likely won't be surpassed.
You're probably right actually, I just think playing a map you haven't played before in this stage of the tournament is super risky. Last time they played bind Sen won as well in Madrid, but lot has changed since then. It'll be interesting to see, I just believe Heretics has the advantage when it comes to map pool.
This is a pretty likely playout of the bans i'd say, don't think sen will ban bind over abyss though. I think they'd rather play bind.
If the textbooks don't have to be hard copy, you can find them online for free. libgen or z library check there.
I think the esport is in a really good place currently, as all the regions have real contenders. I think we're a few years away from China/Asia being the top dogs though, cause what these teams have gotten to after this short of a timespan is pretty crazy. Not to mention like the whole edg team having no prior pro exp in other games, feel like we're starting to see the shift from former CS guys to homegrown Val players, it will be super interesting to watch.
KangKang, aspas, riens, alfajer, cryo, smoggy, benjyfishy
China is inevitable… #CCPsupremacy

They called me a madman… It’s coming together though.
I don't think they can win if they don't pick up an X factor. They just got a bunch of good players; it's proven you need at least that one guy to win a trophy.
Pretty simple lol, you want your most mechanically gifted player taking the best fights a.k.a trading out teammates.
And I don't mean just initiator, this kid is ridiculously good.
Edit: This guy is not a real human, he has SEN in a headlock rn
Not undermining anything, all their improvements were from a team that demon1 was already apart of lol, ppl forget the first 3 series he was in were not that great, but they got better AS A TEAM. Not like he just subbed in late and took them to the promised land, he was on the team from week 2 lol. And my original point was that without their international performances, none of the EG guys would be as coveted as they were heading into this season, which is what makes the MIBR win the biggest what if. No EG at Tokyo, No EG at champs, that's literally 5 teams right now that would look different just based on that.
Improved massively how lol? He played every game outside of lock in and first week of Americas + They got 13-0'd with him playing. There's not even a real basis to show his addition boosted the team if you don't factor in the international events + LCQ is as random as can be, KRU literally had no wins prior and won the whole thing.
It's a conundrum really, cause on one hand Americas should be split between North and South for talent/regional cultivation purposes, but the south American region is not on par with the talent level of North America currently, so idk who'd really be watching/invested in that league + there just isn't as many big organizations in the region. Sucks for the LATAM players cause they're either one of the lucky 10-15 to make franchising, or they're stuck in challengers' limbo with no type of security/investment within their team.
MIBR not beating 100t genuinely would have repercussions to this day lol. Minimum 3/5 of that EG squad would be teamless right now, we'd never really see what Demon1 was capable of, Paper Rex might have had Pacific's first trophy, list goes on.
Playing other agents in radiant ranked is not the same as playing them in pro matches. Way more knowledge and util timing/placement things that are very important to be good on other agents, which takes time.
Is Aspas just Valorant's coldzera? I don't know much about CS, but I feel like from what I do the similarities are there.
Better than ever really. Only thing that is scary is their lack of ability in closing out games, like they let trace come back from 10-2 to 11-10. If they can figure that out though, I think they can beat anybody.
Might be legit, if you see his tracker, he's been only playing KJ and Cypher for like the past 40 games.
Yes, would have made all 3 lans, two GF appearances, won the biggest trophy of the year. Don't see the argument against them.
Probably would say 2 and 3, they're both top 3 in their roles and have made deep runs/won trophies already. Demon1 still had the best rookie year though, went from a complete unknown to champs winner as the best player in the world.
X men character named Gambit had a cameo lol
Of all the what ifs, this is genuinely the worst lol
Group A is harder fs, 3rd place would probably make it out Group B ngl, tough break for whoever that is.
Who's going to be the next victim? Or is this the year the curse is broken?
FPX beating sen is very viable lol, they won't get past geng though
