The people themselves aren't the problem, I don't think. They're all great players and have proven they can win before. Something needs to happen internally is what I'm thinking, because on paper they should be getting results

RieNs has played Yoru multiple times this year. Idk why you're more shocked by that than Boo on Iso

Edit: nvm I just checked the stream, why are all the player names mixed up on VLR

How do you know it's not great for those who live there, if you don't live there?

I can see them doing the Yoru Deadlock comp with Cryo on Deadlock

This is a crazy comment and I hope you realize that

Bro became worse than FNS

I'll watch later but I want y'all's opinion... was his util any good? Or did he just throw the most standard walls and shoot their heads

Wdym by current meta? Nothing is meta right now except Omen

Meanwhile, the World Cup itself is a BO1 (with single elimination playoffs, mind you) and no one seems to mind

VKS lasted one year... even without VKS LOUD is better than SEN

You're telling me that the production quality of an tournament dictates whether or not its results matter, regardless of what those results are?

LOUD (or VKS before them) qualified for every single international event up until Masters Madrid. They missed out on Shanghai and then the team management decided to jump off a cliff. That's 10 straight international tournaments, mind you. Regardless of what you think of the difficulty of qualification now vs. then, the post clearly states "achievements over the [past] 5 years," in which LOUD have inarguably attained more

That's not abnormal. Many sporting and esporting events have matches at the same time, it's just not something we're used to in the VALORANT scene

FNATIC was 4th at Champions Los Angeles

loud isnt like every year they have 2 top 4 finishes

Neither do SEN. See 2022 and 2023

Sato, luxko, Urango, and gobera are tier 1
rich is ex-tier 1, currently tier 2
rood and Evilkyk have played in Ascension
skz and swag are on an academy team
DRAKONZ is in tier 2

Where is the tier 3 throwing?

(I know this is two years ago but still, point is that it's not like they're bad players by any means)

No China stats in 2025, opinion disregraded

I didn't even see that ngl I just chose a random tier 2 team I like

You win this time, camera man

Can we get an F in the chat for Kiko's long and remarkable career

No way? A Hynix post with actual emotion??

So you're saying it's all downhill from here

FENNEL

You, right now

"Not bad except it's not exactly what I have"

I'm on vacation, it's 23:25 where I am right now (I'm not actually in Jordan, but don't tell the Chicago TSA that)

Wait, have you not noticed the date and time under any post before?

Bro just exposed himself as a fake flagger

Okay but what did grisx23 do? Huh? What makes him so special?

Neon where

Liquid 13-1 yada yada you know the drill

Idk if LOUD counts since they're still using their 2024 jersey, but this slaps https://loud.gg/cdn/shop/files/1.LOUD-153_1.jpg?v=1717782613&width=3840

2nd at Reykjavík '22
1st at Champions İstanbul
2nd at LOCK//IN São Paulo
3rd at Champions Los Angeles
4th at Masters Madrid

Yeah, the prize pools are increasing dramatically year over year. Depending on who wins Champs this year, C0M probably isn't #1 anymore

Shouldn't be that surprising, tbh. Biggest two events so far when it comes to prize pool are Champs '24 and '23... he won one, got 3rd in the other, and also was 2nd in a Masters on top of it

He's Taiwanese bro you're good

Bermuda? I'd be surprised if you can point to Bermuda on a map lmao

In that case just nostalgia bait idk

I can see ghoul33 being a SpYzera type player (flash initiator + secondary duelist e.g. Iso on some maps)

Ok be fr, if you're posting made up "(team) (player) who says no" threads then is the objective to post or to get replies?

Wdym ran out of ideas? Just make stuff up

tuyz is on Harbor again... the world is healing 😌

I like how you specify a year for Marved but not FiNESSE

Not me, that's for sure

Congrats you missed it

Nope

haduya hd chart

Southern parts of Canada casually hitting 38°C with humidity last week:

He's a very solid player, but he's one of those players that needs to be in the right system for him to find maximum value

Minima

This is a ridiculously good way to open
2-1 either way
