He is the 2nd with the most ACS in the championship, and among the top 5, 4 are duelists. I've never seen a sentinel with so many ACS.

Good question. It's strange how Keznit is constantly underrated in the list of best duelists. Mada, Jawgemo and Oxy are nowhere near Keznit's level (if we compare last year), but they are constantly placed above it in tierlists.
I don't know, Heat looks really good on sentinel to me.
If we disregard the first map, Havoc was 21/3 in FK/FD. This is insane.
Do you really think C9 is better than MIBR and KRU? lol
C0m wasn't good in the second half of the season, he was just less horrible than the first half.
Aim: Demon1 (Champions 2023)
Movement: Aspas
Brain: Sacy
Utility: Ethan (Champions 2023)
Agent pool: F0rsakeN
Leadership: Sacy
"-Aspas slight downgrade"
Aspas: Average 1.38 rating
Demon1: Less than 1.00 rating
It's not a slight downgrade, it's a BIG downgrade. Furthermore, Natank has a completely different playing style than Mazino, meaning Lev will have to completely change his playing style. I can't say if they will do well or badly next year, but comparing the old players with the replacements, we see a clear relegation.
The IGL is a fundamental part of every team, but to say that NRG failed solely due to the lack of a good IGL is an understatement.
There is no comparison between these two teams. Vitality is MUCH superior.
Less >>> abyss >>> Victor
Derke >>> abyss >>> Demon1
Trexx >>> Crashies
Sayf > Marved
Kicks <<< Ethan
The first three are indisputable. Less is a much better sentinel than Victor, Derke is a much better duelist than Demon1, and Trexx is currently much better than Crashies 24. The last one is also indisputable. The only statement that can be debated is that Sayf is better, after all, we haven't seen it on the controller yet. However, Marved 23/24 was so bad, so bad, that it's difficult for Sayf to be worse.
We also haven't seen Leviatan play off-season tournaments, they are tier A.
In 2024 he was mechanically better (in my opinion), but Lev's playing style was a bit "Broxante". Hopefully now playing with Nzr, an initiator who really plays with the duelist, he will return to that Aspas 2023 style of play.
Stats don't tell the whole story, but they tell a good part.
If Tex didn't do a terrible Kick Off, maybe Lev would qualify for Masters Madrid. If Tex didn't have a terrible Stage 1, maybe Lev would win Stage 1. If Tex didn't have a terrible Champions, maybe Lev would win Champions. Literally the only good championship Tex had this year was the Shanghai Masters, and his Stage 2 was average.
Where did I go wrong? Tex and C0m had a year with the worst average stats in all of VCT, on tier S teams. Maybe only Boaster had a worse average stats.
I was thinking about that. Aspas is Aspas, Cortezia has one of the best aiming I've ever seen, Xenom has immense potential, Nzr is an IGL with a lot of aiming.
If I put it in pure potential, it would look like this:
Aspas = Aspas
Xenom < Kingg
Cortezia > Tex
Nzr > C0m
Artzin < Mazino
In this case, the only weak link would be Artzin, and in my opinion, Artzin is a great player.
Don't Mada and Verno also need to prove themselves? What did they do in Tier 1?
Eu sei que os outros 4 jogadores são bons, mas e o Prozin? Não conheço ele, ele é bom também? Posso ter esperança da Galorys ganhar o Ascension?
unfortunately the chronicle exists
I was trying to put together the best team in Valorant, and I came up with 2 possible teams
Aspas
Less
Munchkin
Chronicle
Mako
and
Aspas
Less
Valyn
Chronicle
Leo
I was in doubt between Leo and Mako. Who among them would you prefer on the team?
Aspas
Less
Munchkin
Chronicle
Mako
Less's 2024 was better than Alfajer's. At the beginning of the year, when the LOUD stage was good, he posted incredible statistics, in stage 1 he was very good, and in stage 2 he was average. Overall, his year was better than Alfajer's, even though it was impacted by LOUD's terrible phase.
i would say
Duelist - Aspas
Initiator- Leo/Sacy
Controller - Mako
Sentinel - Alfajer/Less
Flex - Chronicle
IGL - Boaster/Saadhak
In 2023, EMEA was a one-team league. Literally only FNC had relevant results in internationals, and maybe Navi who got a top 4 in Lock In, but was horrible the rest of the year. In my opinion, EMEA 2024 is stronger overall than EMEA 2023.
I get downvoted every time I talk about EMEA being a weaker league than the Americas. Like, isn't that a fact? In the last 2 years, despite the international comparison between the two regions, Americas has constantly been in better positions, winning more titles, etc.
To summarize: EMEA > NA, However, NA + SA > EMEA
Haven at FNC 2024 was good, but 5 of FNC's 7 wins were in EMEA, which is a weaker league than the Americas.
Hey everyone, now that the GC is over, I feel more free to ask this. Is there any actual scientific basis behind being transgender?
From what I’ve read, some studies suggest that gender identity might have biological and neurological foundations. For example, research indicates that certain brain structures in trans people may resemble those of their identified gender more than their assigned gender at birth. But I’m not sure how solid or widely accepted this science is.
I’ve also heard arguments about hormones, chromosomes, and social factors playing a role. Can someone explain this in simpler terms?
I’m not here to argue—I just want to learn more about the topic. If anyone has reliable info, feel free to share. Thanks!

Bzk ou Peu. Não sei quem eu colocaria.
Brasil:
Duelist: Aspas
Sentinel: Less
Controller: Pancada
Initiator: Cauanzin
Flex IGL: Zap
Coach: Peu
Why Yay instead of Pancada? I understand that there is a certain difference in stats, but we have to take into account that Pancada had 5 different agents, while Yay abused Chamber. Furthermore, Pancada was the champion of the Champions, it doesn't make sense not to give him the MVP.
Alfajer is not better than Less, never was.

It was just one of the factors, perhaps not even the main one.
Maybe it's not a problem.
His choice to leave LOUD proved to be correct, with Leviatan having a much better year than LOUD, and Aspas being considered the best player. If this repeats itself in 2025, then perhaps he really is right to be so picky.
"Aspas Jett is not much superior to Demon1 Jett"
Average stats Jett Demon1 Americas 2024: 1.05
Average stats Jett Aspas Americas 2024: 1.38
Your mistake is to think of Demon1 2025 using Demon1 2023 as a base, whereas we should always use the most recent performance as a base.
In my opinion, it is KRU.
They have a world class duelist, a world class controller/flex, an excellent sentry, an IGL who did a fantastic ascension and a good/average player.
This is a team with a lot of potential, much more potential than teams like EG/C9, who are constantly placed above KRU in tierlists.
Leviatan is not in the top 3
Your list is heavily biased in favor of NA
Lucid as always. One of the most sensible users on this site.
Com todo respeito, a EG não tá forte não. Sym é o pior duelista que eu vi no Tier 1
