its not that they went back to being bad, its that these 5 haven't had a lot of time to prep together, and certain maps are much worse for them than others because they haven't practiced them. If Furia don't dominate on Icebox I'll take what I said here back.

I don't think he is, hes just saying Kingg and Aspas can solo carry matches together

idk how to get this through your head. But Aspas broke the International kill record in a single map in t1 LAN. This means. He got the most kills in a map in all the regional leagues, masters, and champs. It is an international accomplishment

Yes, but if thats what you meant, then you are making your points extremely specific, pointing out Aspas' only "flaws" ofc you can't consider him the goat if you only see his flaws. Same with any other player. Tenz was irrelevant for 2 years, Demon1 is currently benched and performed pretty badly during 2024, the PRX players never won a masters or champs, and Yay has been getting terrible results ever since leaving t1 NA.

my guy.... Im not talking about an individual match. Im talking about him being the OVERALL mvp of the Americas INTERNATIONAL League, he even received a trophy at champs 2023 for it if you were watching the stream for the Grand Finals. Also, international simply means between multiple nations, so maybe specify Masters+Champs or International Tournaments. Also, breaking the international kill record. IS an international accomplishment. so maybe check your literacy???

Ur first point and third point are wrong, Aspas won the Americas International League MVP, and his best and most memorable accomplishment, is dropping 47 kills and breaking the international kill record in T1 LAN, against Sentinels, the team that won the previous Masters.

Yes but wheres the fun in that :(

2022, Aspas was considered the best duelist
2023, Aspas was considered one of the best duelists
2024, Aspas was considered one of the best players

no viper is fine lol, the comp is literally played by FNC(raze in place of neon), who have won pretty much all the games they played it on. The issue is that the comp requires a lot of teamplay and discipline to play, something NRG lacks severely, and they combo their util poorly.

Easily is a stretch. But you can make a case for it.

This bait is truly revelational. One of the most enlightening messages I have ever seen typed. It has brought me to a new level of self-realization. Thank you Sage-Breach, for opening my eyes to such an indelible message.

I think a lot of people may flame you for saying Americas>EMEA after EMEA got 3 teams into playoffs while Americas has 2

brother the coaching staff is pretty good or decent, their anti is really good, and the setplays they have are great, LEV tends to crumble closing out rounds when in advantaged situations, thats less to do with the coaching staff and more to do with the players

idk what you mean by overhype, he is the greatest duelist of all time so far in valorant history because of his consistency and his high ceiling
