we dont know what was happening behind the scenes, could be a bigger issue we arent aware of and thats why they drop their players quickly

at the end of the day, esports is a business and not for people who want free hands outs, if you want to stay at the top level you have to consistently prove you deserve that spot, sayf pointed that out recently as well

didnt screwface join thinking men in tier 2? no way he hops around this much

having to work as a computer scientist

definitely should be the person they aim for imo

i wanna see aproto take that spot

TH have an insanely deep strat book tho, every game theyre pulling out something new imo theyre kinda bad at closing rounds, lots of rounds they get the first kill and have trouble converting that

i personally dont like him on kay/o, only has 2 modes which are run it down or play too passive though i think his flashes for teammates are great, personally would actually like him to play omen as much as possible as he gets insane value out of that omen flash every time he uses it

farteen

swiss stage is great to see

how dare he have favourites and least favourites, every content creator should be unbias 😡 😡 😡 😡 😡 😡

nearly every NA team wouldve had an a direct upgrade if they took him (C9, G2, EG, 100T, even LEV and NRG is debatable)

why did nobody go for him i dont get it

yeah next generation grew up with these games now so its dangerous how good they are

bettervlr works fine with them for me

at the same time tho DRX, FUT, FNC all didnt look up to form only NaVi did imo

yeah saadhak for some reason fucks up emea teams so easily

genuinely potter has done insane for the budget she had

honestly think mistic is one of the best smokes in emea, may be a delusional fnatic fan but he looked incredible for apeks last year

mini was great as well, brought a lot of innovation before stepping down

bait is immaculate

theres 0 chance they run that comp again surelyyyyy

This year is showing the power of a good coach KC and EG both teams that prepare insanely well for their matches (not discrediting anyone on either roster, both have insane players especially n4rrate, marteen and jawgemo)

but it legally is grooming, check before making stupid remarks

they dont have enough star power, they have a solid igl, solid flex, ok smokes, ok sentinel and a super inconsistent star player

they need another player than can step up, 1 player isnt enough nowadays, look at KC/SEN/FNC/NRG/GEN.G/PRX, all have multiple players that can step up and fuck up the other team

first, age of consent in poland is 15, legally it is grooming

second, tf is wrong with you?

personally reminds me of EG last year, incredibly drilled with fresh ideas and tight strats + ungodly duelist

neil said yesterday on sliggys stream that they only showed 20% of their strats and theyre confident theyre the most prepared team in EMEA and he was not lying god damn

Any low tier region is unwatchable due to how blatantly they matchfix. Its at the point where games are just completely scripted out. Valorant as an esport gave a huge opportunity for poor countries to enter into the matchfixing scene due to Riot Games officially having these tournaments where a plat player could qualify in some regions. You think these countries give a fuck about winning? They just want money, all that shit is fake. Please start auditing, arresting, and banning these fixers.

fair play, full on the better team today

if KC win, do I go for TH or KC at madrid 😢

yeah he is fucking insane wtf

fnatic are just getting diffed now :(

been a fan since 2021 and im getting flashbacks to the dark times

im going to die by 30 fucking constant stress

playing slow was always their style on lotus but they cant retake A like they used to because of the odin, thats why it full counters them.

just have to play slow and try and hit C or B late which they have incredible retakes for

their lotus has been figured out by engh and ze1sh, playing the same way since the map came out and odin fucks them

yeah, big benefit from being ex-teammate

straight up outcalling boaster rn, he's all over them

name checks out

GRRR BOASTER IS ENJOYING HIMSELF

i mean a large part of the payoffs were from the live events, shouldnt be that surprised that there are more tech pauses than last year

I thought Wo0t was gonna be wasted on this roster I was so fucking wrong

yeah he is pretty much steel but worse but also I like seeing him on the desk just because it annoys everyone

y0y

someone hasnt checked the dogshit format :(

nieSoW

team would be unbeaten

LOUD 2023, everyone got so so so much better in that year

just to ruin your mood they player each team a total of one times across all of split 1 and split 2, teams that dont qualify for champs have a 6 month off season, format is deadass shit

polaris has been going on for a while and they got some decent talent, Apeks look good as usual and soulcas is getting his confidence back, SweetNSour look good and they have Irish players that are actually good so kinda cool

only thing about polaris is that its super divided, the bottom teams look 💀 (sorry BoDork)

yeah ardiis looked like shit (secret agent tho) but I didnt even see a single person saying it while everyone from NA says KC is NA now

funny as shit that everyone acts like KC is an NA team bcz they have an NA player but no one acted like NRG last year was an EU team when they got ardiis.

also if KC show up and fnatic plays like they did on lotus vs VIT then I can see them beating them but if fnatic go back to their old ways then its gg no matter how good marteen and n4rrate play
