It's KRÜ VISA the tier 1 team?

This is the first time I've ever seen a Canadian team vs. a Saudi Arabian team in VALORANT

A silly little .png is all rank really is

XLG probably beats TL too lmao

I'm still upset about this and I'm not even a TL fan

Yeah. It really depends, tbh. I've seen documentaries that are almost 3 hours, and I've seen documentaries that are around 20 minutes (e.g. Werner Herzog Eats His Shoe)

Bro WANTS Harbor to have a 0% pickrate

"I main China" is a crazy sentence

Here are my takes:

Abyss - Iso Sova Harbor Astra Cypher/Vyse
I personally don't think the optimal Abyss comp has been found yet. The hottest take in this comp is right at the start... I really do believe Iso has a ton of potential on this map—the shield is amazing for long-ranged fights like the ones in mid, the vulnerables cover a lot of lanes and combo very nicely with Sova's utility as well, and the wall finds more value on Abyss on average than it does on other maps imo (e.g. when entrying B through Danger, when scaling mid). Plus Abyss is a pretty open map with very wide chokes so I don't believe you necessarily need a dive duelist. Sova seems like a must pick on this map for me, Astra is the optimal controller here because of her global utility and postplant potential, Harbor is an agent I've always thought would be a great pick on Abyss and LEV went almost flawless on this map running him, and Cypher seems like the default sentinel to run on such a big map but I've seen Vyse played by both EG and SEN and I have to say she has a ton of merit.

Ascent - Jett Sova KAY/O Omen Killjoy
No comment. Riot, please make changes to this map ASAP.

Bind - Raze Fade Gekko Astra/Harbor Viper
I disagree with the people trying Neon or Yoru as the solo duelist on this map... Raze has always looked like the optimal pick on this map to me (and to a lot of people as well). Fade and Gekko are both extremely good on this map, and find infinitely more value than most other initiators imo—especially when you play both of them, because I don't believe this map can be played without at least two initiators anymore. Viper is way too powerful on this map, and with the amount of respect her util demands, I believe she should be played on this map. As for Brimstone, I don't really think he's as good as people think he is on Bind—yes, he's great, but other controllers allow for more proactive midrounding because they have refreshable smokes. On Bind, I think you should pair Viper with Harbor if you want enough smokes to pull off heavily proactive midround plays, and Astra if you want to keep a balance between midround smokes and postplant utility. And to round out my thoughts, I'd just like to say I don't believe Bind is a map where you really need to run a sentinel.

I got bored so that's all you get for now :P

You're probably right, but me personally I wouldn't put it past NAVI to do something like that

Dunno about you but I feel like the fact that NAVI went from a top 2 team in EMEA to a bottom 2 team instantly once he left is a pretty telling sign

Seems legit

Neither team deserves to go out this early imho

It's a documentary. Those are often over an hour

You do realize pANcada, cauanzin, and tuyz are all on the same team, right?

Not from Paris but a viable option is the Paris La Défense Arena, which is also where KCX3 and KCX4 were/are being hosted

So every Champions bundle plus the Ignite fan?

Ironic

Right now:

Up to you, man

How do you manage to misspell o0o0o

I'd rather we focus on the future than the past. Go with EG

zekken's a VLR user?

Wait, wasn't it when VCT 2025 started? I might be misremembering

In any case, go ahead. I don't think anyone here's gonna hold you to it tbh

Make it entertaining to watch
Bring in good casters
Add more variety

The angle's good because a) you can tp out because you're Chamber and b) you have people holding Hookah. If either of these aren't available then it's a high risk not-so-high reward angle, especially if you don't have someone watching Hookah and can get shot from the side. If you're playing alone, then you could probably hold the angle pretty safely if you have a tp set up and you put your trip in Hookah

Oh yeah, forgot about that

That explains the flag and flair, actually

Wait didn't jakee retire?

Wait there's no way babysasuke made his alt before his main, that's crazy

babysasuke alt?

him

W for both. icy's a great player and deserves to be in T1, and I feel like sym will only be comfortable in tier 1 if it's with a core he's comfortable playing around so maybe he'll ascend

No please buff Harbor :(

23/9 is CRAZY. Bro was +6 on Taco as well

No it ain't
Send proof (e.g. birth certificate)

He was one of the best duelists in tier 2 last year (regionally) but ok yeah you're comparing him to hecking aspas

KC with ENGH and Saadhak :)

Wait that's my thing—

???
You need psychiatry

No

Hm

Hot take: Yoru Harbor

I understand ty

Better how?

He's played 9 agents across 28 games this act

TRS is 735/1000
Therefore ~7.4/10

Yup he's really good, was Gentle Mates' best player last year and can play a ton of agents to a high level
