i think this tourney will be a lot more upsets than usual. any opinion in this thread isn't wrong imo. for all we know BBL or XLG could just go on a run.

also liquid isnt in it, its bbl.

ong i hope he does.

cant argue with you since its all about opinions. to me they would be a very very close 4 and 5.

too much recency for him imo, another year of good results would put him there in my eyes.

nah bro hes for sure got at least 2 more years in him. after that hes either gonna coach, analyst, or full time stream.

bro is basically at the champs 2022 fns stage of valorant dementia.

in terms of achievements and stats

1. Chronicle
2. Aspas
3. Derke

HMs: Sacy, Alfa, Boaster

obv everyones opinion will vary but i see EWC as another offseason event. probably the biggest one we have seen so itll definitely carry some weight but not as much as any of the actual VCT events.

toronto and austin major just ended so i feel u. on the bright side both the bear s4 and squid game s3 are coming out this week so it gives me something else to look forward to. there are always other things that i find to make myself feel something in between esports and until stage two itll be finishing bg3, the bear, and squid game!

EMEA: 1. FNC, 2. TL, Points: BBL, TH
AMERICAS: 1. SEN, 2. NRG, Points: G2, 100T (mb MIBR)
CHINA: 1. XLG, 2. WOLVES, Points: EDG, BLG
PACIFIC: 1. GENG, 2. DRX, Points: PRX, T1

hot takes:

geng will win entire event

nrg will place top 6 minimum

dunno if its even a hot take anymore but g2 will choke

prx will pull an edg and they will struggle next stage and wont make it out of groups in champs

xlg or wolves gets top 4 at champs

sen goes undefeated in stage 2, runner up or 3rd at champs

being american ≠ fan of NA

0/8

bro its gonna be an okc sweep, lets be real here.

if thibs doesnt get fired after this year idek know what to say. other than that i think as long as they improve their bench they can easily run it back next year.

this is just false but ok bro

the zellsis hate is crazy these days. hes definitely sentinels weakest link but he fills the roles they need and he most likely brings a lot to the team outside to what we as viewers see.

even if he was replaced who would you get in replace of him atm, if not atm then this offseason?

hes like a mix of sliggy and if tarik was funny

yes, whatever makes u happy

dont even play much anymore but if they did , riot can have my $80

fnatic having 2 in a row is already an insane feat. they pulled back arguably the biggest and most important comeback in history vs loud at lock in. their win at tokyo was very convincing though but it was hard for even them to keep form for more than 6 months straight.

yea fr like cmon vlr. just give us something juicy each week like hltv does yk

#4 and #5 im talking more about splitting up vct and vcl leagues. like brazil/latam/na or kr/jp/asia

something or jingg gotta go. atm id say jingg but its tough. they lowkey might just need a proper duelist and move one of them to another role

ever gonna give us proper rankings for vct leagues?

both masters should be 16 teams tbh. champs should be 24.

or cryo learns more duelists, cut asuna, boostio flex, and pick up an actual sentinel player

id say it was more sykko then dephh tbh

fns

kru will comeback fs

rage bait: FAILED

its just fun straight up. fast games, not too toxic of a community (yet), fun characters, and the list goes on. if u played OW back in the day and liked it, i guarantee u will love rivals.

depends on who u play really. ive been maining loki a lot recently and got the skin from the show bc its 10/10.

i feel like forsaken and davai are irreplaceable as players. mindfreak is hit or miss but an important piece on the roster as hes like the only one who actually plays normal most of the time. jingg and something have the most ridiculous agent pools that these two should just be replaced with a dedicated initiator and duelist next year if prx perform poorly.

aspas has had consistency and longevity, makes him the goat

demon1 had the best rookie year in valorant and maybe even in all of esports. his run that year is probably the best form a player has ever been from tokyo->champs

throw in 100T too. i would be suprised if next year any team thats not NA besides maybe KRU qualifies for an event

i would prob swap 100t and sen, furia and nrg, and lev with 2g. otherwise pretty solid.

yea i heard ab xxif and mibr possibly going with players from the entire region other than just brazil just nothing set in stone i dont think yet

i think rossy a better player than mitch but mitch imo has more calling exp. i know rossy pretty much confirmed but was under the impression they would lose moose instead. on paper think its a bit better but c9 disaster class prob again

valid, id probably throw 100t or NRG in top 3 convo too. 100t now has a lot of experience together and chem and imo an upgrade with zander.

nrg with mada and verno they have young shooters with expierence in fns, som, ethan

my timing is HORRIBLE with this shit LMAO

ofc mada just got signed i was wrong

assuming roster leaks

G2-valyn, jonah, trent, leaf, jawg
SEN-john, zekken, zellsis, narrate, bang
100T-boostio, eeiu, asuna, cryo, zander
NRG-fns, som, ethan, verno, mada
C9-oxy, xeppa, mitch, rossy, vic/moose
EG-no idea what they cookin
LEV-king, c0m, demon1, tex, ?
2G-zap, lz, silent, pryze, spike
LOUD-pancada, tuyz, cauanzin, vinny, sato/dgzin
KRU-keznit, adverso, mazino, shy, mta/melser/nzr
mibr-dunno havent heard much
furia-mwzera, havoc, khalil, heat, ?

correct me if im wrong (probably wrong)

goated. have u tried emerald rogue 2? very similar just actually in game.

any drayano mods are good if you like base games with just a bit of change and more challenge

my favorites from drayano in order:

blaze black 2 redux/volt white 2 redux
renegade platinum
blaze black/volt white
sacred gold/storm silver
fire red omega
rising ruby/sinking sapphire

if you are looking for more i would recommend emerald rogue 2, light platinum, theta emerald
