I can agree with a narrate pick up for sure

1.) he's not doing "all the job by himself".
2.) Demon1's performance is not SOLELY based on the IGL. He's been pretty inconsistent and whiffing more.
3.) He's not bad, he's just not the rookie year Demon1 that we were introduced to. He still has those rounds every now and then where he'll take over, but it's just poor consistency now. He went from being the best duelist in the world to being a middle of the pack duelist in the Americas.

if TH win the event, i'll agree with you on him being the better sub.

boostio definitely isn't up there with the rest of those IGL's

unfortunately, he's been pooping the bed, but he probably could play better under FNS's system

we gotta care about other people around the world sometimes brother

zekken had a performance that was best in the world at the time, but I knew for sure he wouldn't be able to keep that up for long. He's still an amazing player, just not as good as before with Madrid and it's fine.

this def isnt the 2023 something

monyet is so underwhelming

This match is not THAT important. Both teams already qualified and I doubt they want to show anything new. Let them have fun.

I can't lie, this is my favorite kind of valorant to watch. it almost feels like it was meant to be this chaotic

25K a month is insane for EG players. 15K per month should have been the max. GC should be getting 4 or 5K unless they're G2 female squad.

lmao I forgot about the EG CSGO rosters. really makes no sense at all.

couldn't have said it better. it's a team game and players need to be developed to bring out their very best. if you aren't competing at the highest level, you'll never reach your full potential. I'm not saying flor does or doesn't deserve a chance. I'm sure there are many T2/T3 players that are being held back by their team and actually deserve a chance in T1. It's almost always a gamble bringing in those players to a T1 team, no matter who they are. I don't think a certain player should ever get this kind of ridicule.

u really feel the need to make a thread about this?

idk why this has to be explained, but winning one tournament doesn't make you the best team of the year. sure, it may be the most important and prestigious tournament of the year, but that doesn't take away from the fact that a different team had a dominant year and only fell short at one tournament. I don't even like Fnatic, but they are without a doubt the best team of 2023. Even if EG won this last tournament, they are still nowhere near as dominant as Fnatic was this year.

why do ppl keep saying this? what is this delusion about NAVI?

dont ever post again

of course you BELIEVE that, I just wouldn't be too sure about it lol. that's all. we never know what can happen in the loser's bracket. if another team is playing hot and Fnatic aren't, then it can be curtains for Fnatic

i wouldnt be too sure about Fnatic's loser bracket run. all it takes is for Fnatic to have an off day and they're done.

some invisalign and a professional teeth whitening and he's good

ahh i see, well, im all for it then

yeah, but why are ppl saying it's scripted??

whats so bad about the bracket anyway though? Loud vs Fnatic will be hyped as hell

yeah im a little bit confused by the labels. dude put BR instead of SA for Loud, and TR instead of ME for FUT

hold on! PRX are great, but don't sleep on EG

lmao downvoted to Hell

Oh that's wild to tweet, especially when you're dating a pro player.

Someone fill me in, what did she say?

are you aware of what OP is saying? I'm USING HIS LOGIC - his logic: because PRX got more rounds than EG against Fnatic, they are better. DRX got more rounds than PRX, so with his own logic, that would mean DRX is better than PRX. It's not my opinion, BUT if you want my honest opinion - DRX plays better against top EU teams than PRX does.

Navi has the firepower to match them, but Fnatic is way more solid as a team.

by that logic, DRX > PRX

This has always been my problem with PRX and why I favor DRX more. PRX usually always smokes other APAC teams, but they always get exposed by top EU/NA teams later in the tournament. PRX's playstyle just doesn't cut it when they play against international teams. DRX (although they performed terribly at this event) usually fares better against the top EU/NA teams. DRX > PRX for international events.

NRG kinda looks like they could contend with the best. I don't see them beating NAVI or Fnatic, but they certainly look like the best NA team. C9, 100T, and SEN are just massive disappointments and I actually never expected SEN to do good with this current roster. There needs to be some comp changes and roster changes. NA is a huge failure after franchising.

Please accept reality brother

even with the bag, still sucks to see him potentially go to EG, but hey, maybe EG will surprise us

is every esport irrelevant besides LoL, Dota, and CSGO?

That makes no sense. You're calling out people for "deciding hes innocent by fact that an investigation was cancelled at the request of his ex", but mate, the principal is "INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY". If it can't be proven that he did it, then by that principal, he is ASSUMED to be innocent. Of course you're allowed to believe whatever you want, but the Sinatraa fans ARE the one's who already moved on. MOST of the people still talking about the situation/allegations are the people who flat out don't like Sinatraa and want to use the allegations as the current hot topic now that he's announced that he's ready to compete again. Any person with common sense would know that his community just wants to put that stuff behind him and move on. The only ppl harassing his ex are a small minority that you should never even bother speaking to. Just know that just as you don't have to like Sinatraa, people also don't have to like his ex.

My man, you sound pathetic. I never said he didn't do it, I said we don't know what happened. I could care less if he did or didn't. It's not my issue. The real problem is people like you who ignore the principal of "innocent until proven guilty". Can you confidently sit here and say 100% YOU KNOW for sure he's guilty of the allegations? Were you there filming them have sex? No? Then shut up and stop acting like a weirdo about the situation. Here I am, withholding my judgment until we get a final verdict (which we won't now since she dropped the case) and you're telling me to grow up? That's hilarious.

If it was that cut and dry and the evidence was that solid, he would've faced some legal punishment. All he got was a 6 month ban. I ain't saying Sinatra is a saint. His old toxic behavior shows he was immature, but he has shown that he has improved himself a lot. As for the sexual allegations, none of us will ever truly know what happened.

my man, Sen doesn't even DESERVE to go to Iceland in their current form. As a fan of Sen, I rather see them stay home and not get embarrassed in Iceland. Optic and The Guard are NA's best right now.

Sen def underperformed at Berlin, but they got eliminated by the 2nd best team at the event when yay was on a hot game. Disappointing event? yeah, but one of the most disappointing teams of the YEAR? naw bruh, that's just cap. Even if Sen doesn't win this event, they're still definitely top 3 most impressive teams of the year.

lol shanks do be annoying, but i respect his confidence. he talks a lot of shit, but Rise is winning their matches. With how things are going, my original prediction of XSET and C9 running through these teams is completely wrong.

why are people comparing Sick to Shahz when Shahz IGL's? (and is one of the best at it) You can't really compare them because they both bring different value to the team. Imagine if Sick was IGL'ing and Shahz only had to worry about fragging. Yall really don't think about these things.

no lol, she's from america but lives in EU.
