Why not talk about last split? They came in with jet lag so they were already a game down, had to relearn the meta in like two weeks because their interpretation of it was wrong, made it to playoffs after beating Sentinels and obliterating G2, and might've even made Shanghai if Cryo didn't unlock the fourth dimension and have an op montage. Even though they only won two games, they still did really well that split
Saadhak is the goat

This is 100% a Harbor map. The wall is insane for either site and the cascades are likely the best way to fight for mid in the entire game

No actually LOUD is based in Guatemala /j

100 Thieves also has 9 points. G2, Leviatán, and KRÜ all have 6 points, and Cloud9 are right behind them with 5. There's a sizeable chance they're overtaken by several teams.

Now that I think about it, basically no chance. They have double the champs points of the 3rd place teams. They're so far ahead they could literally not show up to any of their games in Stage 2 and still qualify

Jett doesn't seem like she'd be the best on this map
Raze is definitely good here, feel like you'd be able to do some insane satchels
Neon seems great as well, seems like the kind of map where it'd be easy to break people's ankles
Phoenix honestly wouldn't be too bad on this map with how many flash zones it looks like it has
Yoru's tp would probably be kinda underpowered with how much variance there seems to be with the elevation
Reyna is Reyna
Iso is Iso

What's your rank 7whanzussjwbsysbbejskaoao

Wake up. It's 2024. TenZ isn't Sentinels' duelist player anymore.

I have a feeling it's Abyss' niche, like the doors on Lotus, the Bind teleporters, and the zipline on Fracture.

Heretics
MiniBoo deserves happiness, man

Clove is literally hacking at 1:52 in the latest cinematic

Bro yours is black bean stew

Brother has not watched since Madrid ended

This exact thing happened with qck. And he showed up pretty big near the end of Stage 1. I just wish he didn't get dropped anyway 😔

He's so good any rating would be too low

There you go

Not sane enough to remember the footer

Psion's hella cool but I think he's a bit insane as well

geospliced, easily

Oh, congratulations to him then

I didn't know heat was NA

Oh congratulations!

No problem, numero uno cNed entusiasta! How's your day been :)

Poor number1_cNed_fan. Let's make this the most active discussion on VLR until it stops going down

icy is a great duelist, he literally aced today, stop trying to replace him

Edit: was thinking of yesterday. He aced yesterday, not today

All that when Sentinels haven't played in a whole month (their last match was FURIA)

What's crazier is people are acting like G2 is the worst team in the world after getting run over by Heretics when they've already beaten them twice this tournament

You put FNC in 2nd, GEN in 4th, and and G2 in 11th. I don't wanna hear it, trombone.

We already have people playing VALORANT on drawing tablet, for heaven's sake. So yeah, this better be good

This isn't a legit channel. He's just streaming a TenZ VOD and viewbotting. If it was a legit TenZ stream the chat would be overflowing, even if subscriber mode is on, which TenZ doesn't do afaia.

qck is out, rumours heavily lean toward pANcada filling his place. People are speculating tuyz will play duelist, but I personally disagree with that theory. Also the rumours on Less leaving have died down. We've gotten no new info in the past two weeks, so they're either intentionally delaying or Less is still on the team, potentially with pay cuts.

I've said it before, I'll say it again... Italy is PERFECT for a Masters. Untapped VALORANT audience, unbiased crowds, super passionate fan culture all around. If they hold it in Venice, it even has lore connections, as that's where Ascent is + where the Duelists cinematic took place.

I'm basic. I'll take a 2008 Honda Accord

keznit is their duelist player and as such he plays duelists exclusively. But that's not really a bad thing, considering he's their best duelist player and the other four players can run pretty much every other agent among themselves. Besides, it's the same story with aspas—what does he play at a professional level besides duelists? (Again, not a bad thing)

Dropping keznit would be an absolutely criminal thing for KRÜ to do. Literally the worst decision they could possibly make at this point in the season

He dropped 101 against G2 and still lost (valyn out 101'd him)

If you told me at this point last year that aspas would leave LOUD to play for BOTH LATAM teams in 2024, I would've called you mental

a) ...did NOT know that was a thing
b) Shouldn't it be VLRCC? Or is that stupid

"Yes, he can play smokes but what else?"

I do love Vancouver Community College

You're so old-timey for that

So what happened is Heretics picked Sunset, and the rest is history

KRÜ was at two different Champs bro, what are you talking about

Jett Raze Neon Harbor +1 could totally be a Paper Rex comp

Any ideas for the Haven comp?

(Also mindfreak being shortened to mf is so funny)

Because he's that good at the game. Simply put

Not trying to be

I love it
