I literally said I wasn't comparing IGLs because they are absolutely the most important part of a team because of their calling, and that's an entirely different skillset
But conparing value that someone brings to a team can be done with an Aspas vs Alfa and IMO i would rather have Aspas than alfa
evil geniuses is guaranteed out of playoffs after they lost to 100T last week
what happened is potter got given a bunch of T2 talent + Jawg and Derrek and got told to work another miracle
Ok and Aspas is the best out of all of those players
I won't compare IGLs because that's very subjective but I would rather have Aspas on my team than anyone else on that list.
Read jujutsu kaisen if you want to get bored of every new chapter being the same thing over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again
Listen I get that Chronicle has 3 trophies n all, and that he is a very good player, but Aspas is on a different level than him, and everyone else in the world
Aspas has the trophy (2022 champs), and has literally been between arguably the best player in the world to clearly the best player in the world for the past 3 YEARS IN A ROW. DO WE REALIZE HOW INSANE THAT IS??
yay and demon1's peaks were literally on PAR with this guy, and they lasted a THIRD of what he's done, and he has an entire career ahead of him? And now LEV looks like (arguably) a Top 3/4 team in the world (GenG, Heretics, Sen if you're feeling it) with him literally carrying every. single. game.
I can appreciate that Chronicle was a part of 2 very good teams in Gambit and Fnatic but man... Aspas is on another level entirely imo
anyone calling Chronicle/Tenz the GOAT of valorant is just trophy washing and ignoring the king
(I am NA fanboy, this thread is supposed to be entirely unbiased)
So Sacy > Chronicle All time?
Chronicle won 2021 masters and 2023 masters which = Sacy's 2022 champs, and single elim lock in << Masters 2024
So Sacy > chronicle?
isnt tier 3 just premier now
bro is going to join a gang of friends and frolick into t2 NA
who is saying potter is getting carried
0/8
if t1 REALLY wanted to throw money at the wall they buy out old DRX no?
like saya and co just didnt work what if they just get drx back
i like platchat because sliggy and sean gares make me happy inside
everyone else is for comedic benefit and the sooner people realize this the better
I just made the connection with the 6 teams that the format is literally just the NFL format (from when it was good and not goodell moneygrubbing for more games)
2 byes for top 2 in the region vs 2 byes for top 2 in AFC/NFC
6 teams in playoffs for both
3 v 6, 4 v 5 for both
the only difference is the double elim part of the bracket, which comes out of necessity to determine a 3rd seed
notice how there was no double elim for Madrid, when all we needed was 2 teams. For comparison: Sen vs NRG and EG vs Loud were in the Divisional Round part of the bracket, and Sen vs Loud was the Conference Finals part of the bracket
If Riot is trying to emulate the NFL in their formatting, they're being extremely braindead imo
the NFL is scheduled as single elim because of the fact that it is so ridiculously deep strategically and the sport as a whole is incredibly taxing on both player's bodies and minds, and they literally could not play more than 1 game a week without risk of serious injuries...
There's a reason that sports that are much less taxing: Basketball, for example, have systems in their playoffs to ensure that the BEST team goes through.
I think this explains a lot about the mentality of Riot and why their schedules are so shit if they're taking the NFL as a format to base theirs off of, as TBH the NFL's formats are not good, but it works for the NFL because everyone understands that there's no WAY teams could play more than once a week. People can and do absolutely play valorant as constantly as, basketball for example.
I don't think there's a solid reason for keeping the format in the single elim BS right now that swaps over to double elim, so hopefully this format is a growing pain of getting the league to 12 total teams, and we are going to see a 8 team double elim bracket next year, which fits in standard with all international events, and has been proven to be loved by everyone involved
were over using this word for 100T, they trult just arent that good and even in stage 1 they had a linsanity run. Im not gonna say Sen was " Burntout " but I think americas just had the read on them and they just didnt have enough time to come up with new comps and etc.
The reason why GenG didnt expereince anything like Sen is because look who theyre playing post shanghai.... They played T1, Bleed and GE..... and you wonder why they didnt expereince anything remotely close.... and everyone with a brain knows as a whole 1-11 that americas are better then 1-11 in Pacific.

https://www.vlr.gg/pickem/f1fe2055 HELP THE COPE IS TAKING ME OVER
I used to watch him then his content just became very annoying to watch, idk why but personally I don't like his videos anymore
not a diss to him though his content looks quite nice just not for me
I think India is confirmed hosting one in the next 2 years right? (Heard rumors somewhere)
Probably won't be 2025 though cuz of Champs Seoul + Shanghai
sooo
Masters 1: LATAM somewhere, only not Mexico because of Ascension happening there
Masters 2: reykjavik (AWWW yeah we are back baby) or London/EU city
Champs: NYC/Boston (PLEASE I NEED EAST COAST REP I JUST WANT TO GO TO A GAME) stadiums for Boston could be TD Garden for Top 4 (cuz hard to book), and the arena that they did the Boston Major in CS in when C9 beat Faze? Idk NYC places but there's gotta be a ton
Listen Navi is going to be so back bro i swear just wait theyre going to fry i swear just wait theyre so back
Rest of list yeah cook
Maybe G2 for KRU because keznit my king and i have a hating G2 fetish but thats entirely bias
GenG is absolutely NOT peaking right now
Secret yeah, but primmie diff
Single elim backet with horrible schedule for teams vs 1 team can't attend and another team has subs
2022 first masters >>>> 2021 champs
2023 lock//in is worse than champs because franchised made many good team reset their whole rosters
2024 madrid is worse than champs 23 because of the top 4 teams at champs all 4 of them were completely different teams, or were not at the event because they weren't good enough
True primmie the goat primmie going to win champs 24 governor going to go from T2 na to best team itw just watch
Teams being miles above their competition is not their fault and I don't rank events lower bc of that
If a region sent their best teams then FNC and EG being cracked should not diminish their trophies
I think I'll probably rate it higher than both Masters this year, because it's now (supposed to be) the 4 BEST teams from the region, rather than the 3 Best teams + a team that was in form for 2 weeks
When I rank trophy wins I rate them by difficulty, which is why I rated champs as = to masters
If you want to rate players by who made the most then 100% champs > masters
Gambit was forced to play finals on like 2 hrs of sleep or something, schedule was completely messed up and favored teams on one side of the bracket heavily iirc
Why? LCQ teams almost NEVER make it out of group stages, which is the only thing Champs have that Masters doesn't, and after group stages it is the exact same for both tournaments
Because everyone has some BS criteria they want to follow when rating trophies n players that suits their own agenda
Ex: Tenzlover69 will say that LOCK//IN is a fraud trophy because single elim, but will claim Tenz's 2021 trophy is worth the same as GenG's Shanghai trophy
Cneddickrider99 will say Champions is worth more than stupid Masters trophy so Cned > Ardiis, even though 2021 plumber era + single elim/Gambit no sleep champs drama
IMO the only objective way to weight trophies rn is:
Masters (22/23/24) = Champions (22/23/24) > Lock//in (single elim so worth less) > 2021 Berlin > 2021 Champs + the other Masters
Sacy n Chronicle are the goats, but Aspas easily best player OAT
Most dominant player ever is absolutely 2022 Yay, and 2021 Tenz doesn't count bc plumber era
Ok now whine about why Tenz is the "goat" in comments
prx aint winning but it would be so good
Counterpoint:
Please let KC through because then tjey can be easy farmed by Americas and Pacific teams
my favorite casting moment was when that guy did that thing on that map and the casters were like wow look at that guy do that thing that was the coolest thing ever
read the post brodie
they literally don't have to learn anything ???
vlr brainrot
Title, couldn't seem to find the answer anywhere online that I could see
He said in the interview he might play smokes or sentinel, but who does he replace? Confirmed not duelist though by himself in that video
On a map with double smokes and jett map:
Demon1 - jett
Jawg - omen
s0m - viper/2nd smokes
Ethan - flash initator
Fns - sentinel/scan initator
On maps with double smokes and raze/not jett map
Jawg - duelist
Demon1 - astra/brim/learn another smokes agent in offseason
S0m - viper/2nd smokes
Ethan - flash initiator
Fns - sentinel/scan initator
On jett maps with single smokes and double iniator
Demon1 - jett
s0m - omen/single smokes
Ethan - flash initiator
Fns - scan initiator (he played fade in 2022)
Jawg - sentinel if you have to
and flip jawg + demon1 for other duelists on ^^ maps
Role issues make no sense for this team, cuz likely everyone will continue to play double smokes, and if they don't then they'll just play double init double smokes, which also works
This roster with potter could cook so hard
Laufey is a good pop artist who took styles of jazz and implemented it into her music
I cant stand listening to it anymore because everything she releases is just the same old rehashed sound done in a slightly different way, and there's no innovation in her sound which just makes it boring
And also the lyrics are so damn cringe holy just find a gf bro trust me its not that hard
