taking a break

c0m, even despite the fact that 70% of people on this site hate him and that he likes to lurk/flank a lot much like nAts, i can’t bring myself to hate the guy, extremely wholesome imo, him and jawgemo only humble players from EG 2023

asides from that, t3xture is also a pro i can’t bring myself to hate no matter what. extremely funny and a goofball

nah EG was better in americas therefore they were better than GENG for all of 2024 u moron

eg is prx kryptonite

less if he was korean :D

he should use phantom more atleast, he’s lucky that lotus is back and there is no breeze or icebox

duality of man

for all we know they could go back to mako igl 😭

drx will reach new heights if they do this

😭 mistakes happen, let’s hope they turn up in the other event

i believe you but where did they say that?

you right lowkey, sen won madrid and didn’t make shanghai, geng won shanghai and got grouped at champs, loud won champs in 2022 but was stopped from the two-peat (still made a deep run in champs 23)

no, but you surely are with how much you hate benjy

i don’t think you should be mad if mibr dropped a map to loud, there will obviously still be issues and chemistry as a new team

I would rather lose to a brand new DFM team while my team hasn’t practiced much since 2 players on vacation than to tirelessly scrim for the offseason events and have a lot of burnout only to get diffed and destroyed by qck

they have the home crowd nerf

trace is so back on ascent

chill out bro they won a map

indonesia lot of valorant fans that’s why

can’t blame edg tbh, must’ve sucked for them to put so many hours into off season events and practice together just to get destroyed by loud in the worst fashion possible

every international team got their eyes on TH and EDG so i think they won’t succeed as much

EDG nerfed in china

fnatic tokyo number one, extremely dominant vs nrg and prx and only lost one map to EG. Alfajer was also playing like prime tenz in franchise era

controller - mako, karon, smoggy, s0m, kingg, valyn, mindfreak, boo, boaster, ruxic, keiko, grubinho, suygetsu, xenom
initiator - leo, riens, nobody, trent, c0m, cauanzin, eeiu, nzr, verno, brawk, sheydos, cloud, qraxs, ethan, lakia of valorant, zest, art my odin goat, shao, adverso, bcj, kush, sacy, crashies, chronicle, stax, s1mon
sentinel - moose, alfajer, less, nats, elite, chichoo, net, meteor, benjyfish, fns, boostio, johnqt, leaf, cortezia, heat, westside, flashback, shyy, yosemite, yay, tex, foxy9, munchkin (let’s be fr here he plays more like a senti but ill put him in flex anyways), kai and fengf
duelist - aspas, t3xture, hyunmin, meiy, zmjjkk, zekken, jawgemo, jinggg, purp0, kamo, jemkin, dep, havoc, life, whzy, marteen, lewn, demon1, kai and fengf, stew, buzz
flex - s1mon, munchkin, zellsis, saadhak, f0rsaken, chronicle (#1), zeek, d4v4i, shao, victor, tenz, mazino, artzin, s1mon, izu, jonahp, wo0t

by the way none of these are in order i just named players that are mostly in tier 1

i feel for AE

DFM 2-0 LULQUID

this is some sen vs eg type shit except edg barely practiced this time around

I know this is just off season, but it is genuinely not a bad idea to try this out, mako has weight of his shoulder and can focus on fragging and second calling

sugarz3ro will be back to conquer the world with his astra

taking a break, he’s exempt from doing military service due to being on the waiting list for too long + being too short

doesn’t change the fact that fNaTiC wAs nEver GrEaT 🤪

fair, i just hope they don’t do another life on viper situation

kinggg in 2023

based from the games we saw, is the double controller comp (jett kayo omen sova astra) the go to meta comp? the map is still new ofc but i think this’ll be the meta assuming omen isn’t affected on abyss, thoughts ?

TEs ascent concerns me, kangkang and smoggy want to go back to vacation, wolves looks really good imo, although BLG got eliminated in the asia off season event, they are showing some promises
FPX has a LOT of question marks

unless you’re kinggg

brawk

i watched c0m lose two close upper finals games (11-6 vs PRX and 11-8 vs EDG) 😭

also on a side note, i’ve noticed that all the americas teams got the contracts updated in the database yet the emea teams who currently announced their roster doesn’t

this team is quite literally the definition of aspas and friends since he actually built the team and hand picked the players with frod

definitely a warm take but definitely has to be uppers, you’re like two rounds away from making the it to the finals and then the enemy team starts to slowly crawl up down like 8-11 or something and takes the series away from you and eventually being eliminated in the lower final

tbh the stage 2 final was so winnable if we didn’t choke two OTs, stage 1 we had no chance because of the long lower final bo5 that took like 6 hours to finish

which 2 players did lev change? i know one was c0m

they didn’t drop mazino, his contract was about to expire with lev and they wanted to retain him

both are controllers though… interesting to see who switches roles

in 820 rounds btw

they are all jinggg fans

TH
GenG
LOUD but barely
FNC (play style diff)

this is about groups not semis

drx always finishes first in groups
