if SEN were every behind with pancada, they never really recover because everyone is so low energy but with a play like zellsis the team can recover much easier because he never shuts tf up which is really good in the team environment imo (at least from the outside)

the campaign was just lazy, mostly DMZ missions + the story was mega cheeks. Visuals were really good tho

might do the same as last year and have a big meta changing patch at the end of november/start of december

curry was an upgrade to c9

I would've also fought for qw1 over cNed, he had a bad end to the season but had a pretty good start

I really wish FUT fought for a young Turkish talent like wo0t instead of cNed, I haven't really liked his style of play since acend and now without Jett being viable on every map I am kind of worried but this is all pre-season so I am just waffling

always love watching pacific because of his casting

its a summit style event, the casters are whoever is on the couch

... is the best idea Sen have had in the last 2 years, he can't entry but he can shoot heads

I wish Apeks got picked up as a team for T1 rather than getting split through 4/5 different teams

I dont know anything about league but I can see how tense every moment is, literally at any time the game can flip and end so yeah I can see valorant not being as tense/hype

Valorant needs someone as hype as him for watch parties

hard agree, sayf had some insane games stat wise but he could get over confident and throw some rounds by over committing (not calling him bad as him and nAts were the only reason TL could do anything last year), nAts was so important to TL because of how solid he was every single game

based duck meat choice

15 minute break and 45 minute break [8:50 ~ 3:30 full day]

calling polvi a downgrade is one of the statements of all time

a silent voice or interstellar

the site exec ideas dont look bad but the execution keeps letting them down, especially on haven when they just couldnt take B because they couldnt co-ordinate their util to block off a link and kept getting zekken killed bcz of it

specifically excited for polvi, shouldve got a chance last year in EMEA over Wolfen + he had offers in EMEA this year but chose GE maybe bcz GE looked good from what he seen

GE isnt superstar names so people think they're gonna suck when in reality they will probably be a solid mid table team with upset potential

their strats were not the problem, hard to analyse the coach from the outside but when there are so many issues that you can see with individual players I find it hard to blame the coach

probably taking a break for school or something, mentioned something about exams a while ago

have koi even confirmed their roster?

KOI looked good first games then just fell off

yeah thats why people wanted to see him on PRX even though they had an import player already

respect for GE not just chasing the bag and letting Monyet go to the best team in APAC even though they didn't offer the most money

Araxys or Oni 2.0

FNC vs GMB (21-23 Split game was insane)
FNC vs LOUD (Lock-in finals)
GMB vs Acend (Champs 2021 Finals) or DRX vs FPX (Champs 2022 Quarter Finals)

Is there still no information on what's happening their rosters yet?

has a chance of being good if it has a combo like raze nade to instakill but the range isn't that good + its pretty thin, you have to be really accurate

I don't think you realise how shit it is to have an ult that gives you a barely favoured fight. Think about Raze ult, scares most people out of the site + if you do see someone and they stay to fight you, you're pretty likely getting 1 and the whole site even if you die. Jett ult gives you a gun on eco rounds that is 100% accurate when moving, self-explanatory why that is good. What does Iso ult give you? A 1v1 with maybe 60/40 odds at best? Plus the rest of his kit isn't that good in the first place? It is a gimmicky ult that is in no way reliable which is incredibly important have a good ult in Valorant

or they hit the shot with the Op and you lose

that wall can also be countered with a molly on reaction because its slow af to fully activate and it is very thin

Jett ult is used on eco rounds and you can get more than 1 kill, no matter what the max amount of kills Iso can get with an ult usage is 1 and he needs to be on a buy and he can die and completely waste the ult and possibly throw the round that way

Jett dash isn't an ult + your team can trade you

you have an advantage yes, I wouldn't say it's 70/30 at all

point still stands, you can lose the 1v1 and it's gg

at least Reyna's ult doesn't have a chance of getting you killed

or you lose the 1v1 and its gg

Easily one of the worst ults in the game at a pro level, literally just gives a 55/45 fight in favour of Iso, which is dogshit for an ult

Really dumb from Riot to not give him any space creation other than his wall which only has 1 charge so you can molly him off and then he can't enter. Pretty disappointed, was hoping for a meta shifting agent that could actually entry but looks like another cheese pick like Reyna

At least teams get paid in Brazil, over half of Polaris was not signed by an ORG

If they're trying to "erase Brazil" from Valorant then what are they doing to the countries in Polaris?

Physics and Math because I had great teachers for both

yeah I originally wrote that it doesn't have to be activated and can be teleported back to at any time but that makes it really fkn strong I need to change that

he can fucking TELEPORT?

I've always wanted a character like Ekko in Valorant and I feel like it could work BUT it would need a lot of playtesting so it isn't annoying and gimmicky to play against (maybe this is too gimmicky and I have overcooked)

C - Flat damage impact grenade with a max damage of 65 and minimum of 20-30ish (either 1 or 2 charge, based on playtesting to see how strong it is in game + damage number could be adjusted) // Kind of a shit idea but can't think of anything better rn
Q - Set a lineup to throw a slow burn molly then press the button again the throw the molly via an after-image
E - Set up an after-image that can be teleported back to but has a specified time that you have to wind back to or else the ability is wasted (refreshed after 2 kills)
Ult - Can set a point on the map ONLY in prep phase that can be teleported to at any point in the round (1 second of windup and 1 second of being unable to use your gun/see/move and unable to be cancelled, kind of like a hyper risky Omen ult) // OR // An install Ult that would last 30 seconds but would change the cooldown of the E to 5 seconds and would refresh the Ult timer on each kill

After-image cannot be seen by anyone other than the user as it would be too much clutter to the game, no passive as I already think the kit is pretty strong

tier 2 NA was better than tier 1 NA last year

I wish he played other agents sometimes but he is the best KAY/O in the world imo + KAY/O is a little underrated rn at pro level because he can counter viper so I dont hate him always being him

cutting sonicfox is wilddd, would imagine he should have been a top priotity to keep especially with fighting games growing so much recently

I would define skill floor as the level needed to play the game and understand what's happening but I see where you're coming from
