Nope, I've been a Trace believer since 2023

They're all great players but their years haven't been very good

Redgar is a proven igl sitting in Russian tier 3 for some reason
d3ffo performed decently well but his team crashed out of playoffs in both splits
sheydos was pretty inconsistent this year, and although he's in tier 1 MKOI is surely one of the worst teams to be able to perform on

Nah I don't see nAts leaving Liquid anytime soon

Literally if you swapped the top 4 and bottom 4 I would've had near perfect pick'ems

Best of luck to FOKUS! Definitely not the favourites going into it but they've got a shot for sure 🫡

Cracked team, I hope they have a strong start

I don't have enough context to explain either of those, but I can tell you that he shot at the same time as the dart would've scanned that corner

That wall is penetrable with heavy pen (which includes his sheriff). I can see that the bullet didn't go through but that's either because his angle was too shallow or because it hit a thicker part of the wall

posted 7 months ago

Same as #9. He's played long enough to know where the enemy is if they're planting in that corner (either using the minimap or the top left corner of the structure as reference)

posted 7 months ago

He's not cheating. The timing makes it look very suspicious but he's just shooting at this corner in Tiles https://i.imgur.com/D1xoqXQ.png

To be fair, there are way more talented Brazilian duelists than there are spots for them in tier 1, so there are a lot that are gonna deserve it that aren't gonna be able to get it unfortunately

posted 7 months ago

Aim's maybe a tad better, but overall ComeBack's clearly the better duelist. No discredit to s0pp, ComeBack is just insane

The idea of a scrim is to trial run pre-determined ideas against a real life opponent. It's not a friendly match where it's a first-to-13 trial-by-fire, but rather both teams saying "this is what we want to practice" and then going through with what they're setting out to achieve.

Adapting to your opponent in a scrim can actually be pretty unhelpful, and I'll give you an simplified example to illustrate this.

If, for instance, team #1 wanted to practice their A hits, they would hit A 12 times in a row. They would have also communicated to team #2 that their plan was to hit A 12 times in a row. With this information, team #2 could theoretically stack A, or brawl for A Main, or push out Mid and B and retake from multiple lanes. But that wouldn't benefit either team; it would be a waste of team #1's time, and team #2 would lose a scrim partner. Instead, team #2 would play as if it's a normal match. The point is to simulate a realistic situation so that the teams can figure out what's working and what's not, and move forward with a better understanding of what they need to accomplish before their next match.

You ain't ever seeing any VCT comps in plat bro nice try

posted 7 months ago

I'm hoping NRG go back to their Abyss comp from the offseason, the things they were cooking up with Yoru Harbor Vyse were golden

posted 7 months ago

I hope so, they could definitely run something similar to LEVIATÁN last year with rushia on Harbor and nephh on Omen

posted 7 months ago

They nerfed my boy when they took Icebox out 😢 he doesn't play Harbor no more

By that logic you could say that Sentinels didn't fall off after winning Reykjavík, which is completely wrong

Because pineapple is a pretty unpredictable fruit that can be both sweet and/or sour so pairing it with a savoury meal can be tricky. Pineapple can also be more or less intense depending on the juice content so it's very hard to get the ratio right. Too much and it overpowers the pizza, too little and it just isn't enjoyable. You need to get everything right for it to taste good. I've had a well done pineapple pizza and it was honestly really good, it had little chunks of pineapple (around the size of sugar cubes) scattered around and I thought that was nice

Nothing’s gonna change my mind, haters can say whatever they want

What's the point in making a thread if you don't want to hear what people have to say?

posted 7 months ago

I very badly want them to go for Sand, but that's IF and only if they're going for a sentinel

Near the end of the year they showed that they wanted Saadhak on sentinel. Clearly he didn't look super comfortable on recon, and historically his agent pool has mainly been KAY/O Viper Killjoy so it makes the most sense to have him play a sentinel role, all things considered. And that's what they did, taking out Elite, moving Saadhak to senti, and having pyrolll take up the initiator role. (This is my theory as to why they benched Elite, by the way... I don't think they wanted to remove him, but in the end of course you're going to value shotcalling over who plays sentinel, you know?)

Long story short, I think they'll either go for another initiator instead, or if they really want Sand they'll drop Saadhak and find another igl

posted 7 months ago

The thing about Elite is that his best sentinel by FAR was Killjoy and she's slowly slipping out of the meta

It was pretty evident if you happened to watch his games last year that this is the case, he was consistently dropping high KDs on KJ (he was 20/2/2 on an Icebox in Stage 1) but would often underperform on Vyse, etc.

posted 7 months ago

He didn't, he's still on the bench

pyrolll got dropped though so he's technically back on the active roster for now

KC will 100% make changes unfortunately but we'll see if Elite is one of them

posted 7 months ago

Not a Masters but should still count... Champions 2023 was the most storied event of all time

  • Paper Rex trying to win an international in what seemed like their last dance at the time
  • Evil Geniuses going from a lower level Americas team to the villains of the world
  • FNATIC going for the treble after two years of constant choking at internationals
  • LOUD trying to win back to back Champions with two rookies
  • EDG going on a dark horse run and giving the world essentially its first taste of Chinese VALORANT

There were definitely more but you get the idea

ELITE MENTIONED 🗣🔥

posted 7 months ago

I fully agree with you, but in the context of the league and it's partnerships they are an Ascension team, and I say so to add to the argument that it's impossible for them to be in a MKOI-esque situation due to not having a partnership agreement to breach

posted 7 months ago

G2 won the treble, has the most content out of any organization in Americas, and I've somehow seen their classic almost as much as SEN's. I think they're good.

Also reminder that they're an Ascension team

posted 7 months ago

My two favourite contenders were Los Grandes and E-Xolos LAZER. Neither of them made it and now I just don't feel any hype toward Ascension unfortunately :(
