C9, MIBR, and 100T all have map records of 5-3. Sentinels has a map record of 4-3. That's the reasoning, for those curious

Oh no, I meant having one flair at a time is a good thing
There's a difference between "can't figure out" and "can't be bothered to". Tier 1 teams have the analysts to figure him out; that's not a question. Top tier analysts are how the pros learn optimal ways to play their agents. There's just no reason for pro teams to look into Harbor yet. If there's a meta idea that works better than anything else out there, what's the point in trying to switch things up? This has long been the mentality of top teams in VALORANT—stick to what's safe, stick to what works. The few teams that played Harbor last year are teams like Karmine Corp, FunPlus Phoenix, and Nova Esports... teams that generally care less about what's meta and try to go for something unique. Teams would never borrow comp ideas from teams like that unless they just happen to align with future meta ideas (such as KC's Split comp last year).
In any case, Harbor wouldn't in this current meta anyway. Not because he's a good or bad agent, but because the meta relies so heavily on certain agents meshing together. Harbor works well with Yoru, but there's practically no synergy with Breach or Tejo—hence why you would practically never see them in the same comp.
KC's comps aren't bad. The clear primary reason why they're losing games is because there's massive flaws in their teamplay and mental, flaws that have shown themselves in every loss this year (other than Vitality) and that have nothing to do with the agents they're playing
Riot did say Harbor was in a rough spot right now but they're looking at almost exclusively ranked data and content creator feedback, and Harbor is statistically the worst agent in ranked in almost every single aspect. However, I already gave reasoning as to why this is the case, both for lower ranks and higher ones. They don't really look at pro play unless an agent is dominating like Viper was last year... the fact that they just buffed KAY/O is enough proof of that
I'm not arguing that he's a perfect 1-to-1 replacement for currently meta controllers (e.g. Omen, Astra). Every agent has its strengths and weaknesses and every comp with said agent has its pros and cons. Subbing out a traditional dome smoker for Harbor isn't very different than subbing out a recon initiator for a Tejo or Breach... you lose some things, you gain others
I've been playing Harbor way longer than I've been a fan of Karmine Corp, don't drag a team I like watching into a completely unrelated conversation
My goat Saadhak can't even play Harbor that well 😢 he made several mistakes in Kickoff that contributed to losing them rounds (there was one Abyss round where there was a small gap between his cascade and the corner of a wall and he got shot through it, giving the attackers the site almost for free and forcing KC to save)
Harbor is objectively good on almost every map in VALORANT and the reason he's so unbelievably bad in practice is a combination of people not learning how to play him effectively in the pro levels (high skill floor + small mistakes are easily exploitable) and people not willing to play him in ranked because of his lack of selfish utility (kind of like KAY/O and Astra), which results in him seeing almost no play (and whatever play he does see is very unpolished)
To be fair, a classic is a full blown judge if you use it correctly on an eco round
Ok but have you considered mini stinger on pistol round
gamergirl isn't even French he's fake flagging
He already does that on his main account (gamergirl)
Sayf and Jamppi have been igling for the same amount of time, my guy
If you're gonna downplay somebody then at least take the liberty of learning their name
I'm trying to go for a retirement home + young blood balance (talent vs. experience kinda team)
Roles:
Note: roles aren't set in stone as there's an issue with who plays recon initiator in double controller comps. I'd try to avoid solo initiator double controller, opting for either double-double with no sentinel or cNed/Scream on smokes with aNguiSt on sentinel and ardiis on recon
prior to funhavers. non-verbal was the name of a t3 free agent team. that team made stage 3 of challengers 2024 and were signed by funhavers where they rebranded.
since they didnt make it in CQ to 2025 split 1, they've had to go back to premier where they have been using the name of their original team, non-verbal. this is because it is not possible to change the name of a premier team and making a new team would mean the team couldn't play in invite right away.
vlr is using the name of their premier team since that is their official name but should they win this match and make split 2 they will go back to funhavers.
tl;dr: this is still funhavers and there hasnt been a rebrand
I'd put JonahP as purple Araxys Vandal + Diamond buddy
Jemkin, easily. He's somehow never been to an international tournament despite being in the scene since 2022
There's probably a lower number out there somewhere but sheydos only died 9 times in this series https://www.vlr.gg/34951/gambit-esports-vs-crazy-raccoon-valorant-champions-tour-stage-3-masters-berlin-opening-c/
We'd get the first draw in franchising history
Of all the teams to make worse, why would you pick KOI? Even if he's the best double agent to ever exist, he's just making them go from 12th to 12th
Yes. It's a matter of workplace integrity
They tried to do what G2 did 😔 respect to all of them for it
Oversimplification: if he shows evidence he loses his job
If the only thig that matters for goat status is international events then it'd be Chronicle, and frankly it's not even close

"Quid" 😭😭😭
Lotus is G2
They're 8-0 on Lotus this year and they only conceded double digit rounds once https://www.vlr.gg/team/stats/11058/g2-esports/?event_id=all&core_id=all&date_start=2025-01-01
penny best player in Kickoff btw https://www.vlr.gg/event/stats/2274/champions-tour-2025-americas-kickoff
Victor's played Brimstone before though
Paper Rex losing 102 rounds in 3 matches broke the UI
Forgot to add but it's crazy that he went from silver 3 to Champions İstanbul in only 14 months
DVM fans 5 man rushed the JL fans' site with Breach ult + Odins
I don't get the idea of betting a house. If you win, what do you get? Two houses? What for?
"I only smurf now nt"
Yeah bro's not radiant LMAO
Nice edit btw
Link your tracker right now, let's see if you're actually radiant
Glad to have you on the team 🫡
