If you are a fan of valorant it is very fun.
If you are only a fan of one team it can be terrible, very punishing format with a low amount of games for the weaker teams.
What are we doing in some of these rounds...
burning ults in unwinnable situations.
failing at the fps fundamentals in other rounds.
this roster needs a break, go reset mentally and come back in 2 weeks.
Only 1 of the 3 have played raze this split #noticing
Maybe it's time to consider that their skillsets can be suited to other roles outside of being a sole duelist player.
Cryo has looked very sharp being utilised as an anchor on controller.
Simply put, raze is a hard agent with a very high mechanical ceiling.
zikz just copy pasted the demon1 formula into this guy, jett + controller duty.
Cryo is looking ridiculous this split.
Pretty difficult.
I got the NA imports atleast.
Also for reykjavik 2021, vanity and munchkin were also there. (which i got stuck on)
Okay i added an easier one.
What didn't make sense on the hard one?

Almost everything has gone Liquid's way this week, can't believe they have creeped into playoffs.
I think these are the only conditions TL can make it?
If TL wins 2-0 and BBL loses 2-0, TL can qualify.
If TL wins 2-0 and BBL loses 2-1, TL can qualify if TL have a better round differential than BBL.
If TL wins 2-1 and BBL loses 2-0, TL can qualify if TL have a better round differential than BBL.
To be fair this thread was made before lock//in and for the sake of trying to make a discussion because i wanted more insight about the korean valorant landscape.
Mainly because t1/geng did not perform during off/season events, which we know now doesn't matter.
Every team in korea has made numerous changes from that point, with gen.g having a complete rebuild, T1 switching to english and even drx giving the youth players opportunities.
but yeah the thread has aged like milk, although a lot of what the comments said has aged well.
To be fair they actually could have won that, a few rounds that they fumbled massively which prx will always capitalise on.
The tempo that prx is playing at is ridiculous.
And their fundamentals are still functioning at this pace.
Something is so aware of every possibility right now.
Every player you have listed has gone on to sign for another team since being on Gen.G, a few of them even being VCT teams.
Yeah that round completely changed the game.
Don't even think that fnc will get 4 this half anymore.
He has been playing so well recently.
Nice to see especially after the underperformance at the start of the year.
(highest rated player in emea, when filtering out the first two weeks)

Well fnatic bailed out navi so much last year so its about time they returned the favour.
I had so much hope for this roster.
Sayf + trexx are two of the best players in emea.
Runner + kicks were really interesting prospects in tier 2 but they've struggled to find consistency.
They have some beautiful execs with well thought out util and other times they just look lost and without purpose.
The team is just so inconsistent.
Breaking news: players do better in tier 2 rather than tier 1.
Well no, because 3 teams can get a better win record than them.
As long as one of fnc/vit/bbl lose then KC make playoffs.
Well they were the team that pushed the sova fracture comp into the mainstream.
It does feel like in this split good aim and good trading is the most important.
A lot of teams doing well right now just because they are doing the simpler stuff very well.
Going 1-4 still makes it very hard to make champs.
Making split 2 playoffs is based on your overall record and giantx still have to play fut/navi/th.
GiantX got the first kill on all of their defense rounds. (purp0 with 5, redgar and hoody with 1).
I could see more breach being ran
On split: Omen/Cypher/Raze/Fade/Breach , some teams were already running this.
A few teams are running viper-less comps for Lotus but their hasnt any consistent success yet.
Icebox is tough because viper was almost perfect for that map.
The issue with viper is that she possess such a valuable niche in pro play.
However the value of viper does not translate that well in ranked, mainly because macro is not as important.
I understand the nerfs , although I think they lower the skill ceiling in her kit and make viper way less interesting.
The concept of being able to use the orb to slowly take space over time was cool.
Americas: KRU
EMEA: TH
PACIFIC:PRX
CHINA: EDG
He is probably one of the best mid season pickups, kinda crazy considering he is a coach.
KRU had won 2/78 of their last scrims before he and keznit joined. - according to aguero (although some of the kru players have denied the claim)
The 0-9 regular season did not accurately reflect on the improvements and performance KRU had throughout the season.
So many games could've gone differently if one or two rounds went kru's way.
I was really happy to see them succeed in the lcq.
They had a rough kick//off but the way the fixtures were for split 1 really allowed kru to build momentum.
Are you stupid?
This has probably been his best year since 2021, arguably his best ever year.
potter is really head and shoulders above the competition
If you want to use all the vct 2024 games:
This is just split 1 stats?
Doesn't include madrid or kick//off.
(not a sen fan but) Honestly, they havent been terrible just not as great as they were in madrid.
Split ban. Finally teams are respecting sentinels' split which really helped them at the start of the season. Having an "almost" guaranteed map win is super strong. Almost every team that has won an international event had a map like this in their arsenal.
Lotus defense side. With split being banned this required sentinels to find a new map pick, which was Lotus. Yes it is attack sided but the manner in which they are required to comeback to salvage their map pick is simply unsustainable. The flaws were shown versus Leviatan but individual brilliance helped to distract from the issues.
Unlucky?: I feel like Loud played their best valorant versus sentinels, the issues with the format is that dips in form can really influence the playoff picture. Loud had a tough start to the season with visa issues hurting their preparations and compositional question marks which they were struggling to resolve.
Bind choke vs EG: This is the game that will have probably cost them playoffs. Absolute mental breaker. This loss is why sentinels can only blame themselves.
Reminds me of a certain Belgian and his opinions on duelists.
I can understand thinking a role is overrated but flat out not using the agents is shooting yourself in the foot.
He's been overhated imo, as a rookie coming in midseason his performances has been about as expected.
I like his raze movement though.
His gekko util is great.
Will be interesting to see his jett.
Can definitely see him growing as the season progresses.
Competitive environments bring the worst out of people, especially when things are seemingly out of your control.
Besides, with the way a lot of other pros are reacting, this behaviour seems commonplace in T1/t2.
there was also a reddit account that posted a while back about the supposed "bribing to get a player kicked" from dsg.
So someone in the team/close to the team/players went out of their way to make burners talking about this stuff.
I believe this is correct:
What GE Needs:
What Bleed Needs:
What T1 needs:
GE round differential is so bad that T1 have to lose now.
Even if T1 wins 2-1, the gap in round differential is too large.
