gx coach played killjoy on split, W coach 🗿

vit scrim demons as well

maybe but they are going to have a better showing than 24 NRG

ok i can agree with that, they won’t be nearly as dominant in china which is a good thing because more competition but they’ll still be a good team and good enough to make bangkok

also if they had haodong as a player and after coaching instead i would be inclined to agree with you because they had role issues with their previous iteration

acend was really good in berlin though, 100t just knew how to counter them. even gambit lost to them in the same way acend did

smoggy wasn’t all that in champs playoffs, only in the group stages although he’s still insane. if you watched the champs games you’d see that they had better midrounding and decision making than previous iteration. sure their individuals got them the win vs LEV but saying that they won through pure individuals is ignorance. they also don’t have after coaching for them anymore. edg will be fine as long as s1mon can be a great support player because he’s the reason why they won champs to begin with

off season is an indicator sure but it’s not like TH had a good offseason either and DFM is literally being overhyped

i don’t think they’ll win an international lan but they’ll have a good showing making deep runs

what’s the comparison between acend and edg?

and what’s happening to edg rn exactly?

they were still the best chinese team out of all the representatives and you fail to point out that they made risky changes to even function as a team

how dare he put edg at number 1 when they’ve looked better than ever and won the recent champions

edg at 1 is a reasonable take lol they are not the same edg from madrid or shanghai. they have consistently been the best chinese team and recently won champions while keeping their roster

leaf and heat > yay

derke, other than him it’s chronicle because i play exactly like him according to my valorant flashback

what happened to cboomer

you dont fuck with nzr?

G2
EDG
TH
GENG

when he was on duelist yes but his performances hasn’t been as good when compared to chronicle on flex who was a top 2 player at champions

stellar

after??? 😂

he got replaced by a better coach and edg instantly started to do better

itopata made lev look a lot better after their disaster in shanghai on the other hand. after can only dream of getting top 3

lev played g2 so many times and he knows they’re always a tough opponent

it was the same comp lev ran under goked i think you meant abyss which is double controller with harbor, they just played fundamentally so much better under itopata and their postplants looked sharper than before

saved lev from further embarrassment and took them to top 3 champs, i think he’s pretty good

no it’s 2G and KRU that’ll be going to bangkok

are we really surprised? this team had the audacity to beat geng and proceed to lose to primmie first time IGL in the next match

i agree, i just had to mention him because the last time both were at an international was champs 2021

2G are going to bangkok and winning it all? nice to know

c9 >>>>> TS

TS will somehow find a way to win this map

team secret not going anywhere with the xeppaa of pacific

disagree with wo0t being better than chronicle on flex

purp0 > flor

kadavra and grubinho have better firepower than boo on average but he’s still good

also leo isn’t even playing, might as well not include him

cauanzin > trent eeiu verno c0m

valyn > zander

oxy > jawgemo > mada

geng best team of the year in 2024 was also 2 rounds away from losing to FPX, top 3 china can easily take on teams from other regions. the regional finals of china is weighted less which is fine because you are right about it being the weakest region now but the top half of china and top half of other regions are not as big of a difference as you make it out to be

i think those posts are trying to say that the difference between champions and masters isn’t as big as riot wants to make it out to be

was anyone actually debating over that? champs is usually the most competitive event every year

donk

jawgemo is more overrated than kangkang

primmie debut against team secret in a regional match for champs qual has more aura than wo0ts debut at masters shanghai where he was dropping insane performances and took his team to the grand finals shanghai or kangkang dropping a nuke to win his team the champions trophy. we might be cooked

mwzera isn’t even furia’s duelist player

he carried them to shanghai too

hate to say it because i really like him but c0m was horrendous in the FUT game and aspas didn’t perform that bad

you basically said everything i had in mind, he’s obviously a great duelist but he will have to prove it again this year especially after coming off of a bad year

like i said he’s super explosive and also his movement is great, watch his games on neon and raze (and iso) last year.

i think he’s a teensy bit overrated coming off of a bad year, it’s true that keznit and zekken had a better year than him however he is so much better than what he showed in 2024, it’s kind of the same situation with yay except he isn’t being overrated

i mean you have people who thinks aspas is a baiter or stats player 🗿

you’re not even gonna point out champs 2022?

he takes space more efficiently than most other duelists do, he’s also very explosive and gets value more often than not out of it

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK OMG… please don’t tell me hiko will retire from being a pro

alfa stole the show in tokyo but leo lock in 100%

potter too

no she isn’t

she’s a great coach but she did nothing in 2024 so she can’t really be THE best

because emea won more trophies than NA did? sentinels literally won the first masters without a coach

what do you have against kc?
