I'd swap G2 and MIBR, but overall solid list

(I think MIBR is actually a very solid team, just not good enough to win anything)

then why complain?

[tournament name] is a mickey mouse tournament because [insert excuse] but my favorite team [insert team] won so it's not a mickey mouse tournament

same lmao, outside of Furia losing to MIBR and now G2 losing to EG I had a perfect pickem :(

well this aged well

damn, lets see what potter has been cooking

please dont kys, valorant is a game and should not be taken that seriously

(can't tell if this is a joke)

TW: allat(at least by VLR standards)

I didn't like G2's defensive gameplan. It was basically take A/B main control, and play retake the other site. I get the idea, but you could see EG learn this, and adjusted by using less util to take site. Don't think G2 made any major adjustments, unless you count the OP by leaf. Apoth also got WAY too much value in mid, in the second to last round, he was able to preaim the mid trip and cam, and was able to cause a commotion. I understand it goes against their game plan, but they need to have some control of mid, or stop Apoth's lurks. He singlehandedly won a bunch of rounds for EG.

I'm really starting to think Sunset is actually heavily attack sided. Mid is a nightmare to contest, and retaking is kind of hard on both sites. There are just so many opening and holes if you can take control of mid, and Cypher's kit can get broken easily, as Apoth showed. IDK what the adjustment should be based on that info, but yeah.

Though Supamen and Apoth looked good. Jawg was good as always(that preaim onto leaf's OP is crazy). Derrek and NaturE looked okay but not amazing.

WTF r you talking about? For some reason, despite something playing in APAC challengers, he is consdierd as their import, meaning they can't get jawgemwo.

are you even watching?

rip

pacific el classico(PRX vs DRX) is up there, but idk how many people in other reigons care about it.

I'd bet money that they avoid doing this, I think they want the "top" teams to make madrid because that brings in more viewers.

No one saves strats for the Super Bowl/World Cup(whatever you're into) either.

raze + breach + fade combo

IDK why they changed it either. It's that he said "unfair how prx are given the best seed but at the end of it when it really matters they dont play the play in team", and I'm explaning the reason is because they were in the same group

GEN.G and PRX were both in group C, so they can't play each other again.

How is LEV 1? How is NRG 7? WTH is this list?

yes because of something that happened when I was two means I should quit high school and start a multimillion dollar buisness. Makes perfect sense.

But it's okay, I don't remember her.

koi isn't in all three reigons

wait....

mb typed it twice

kinda hard to breed someone if they're dead

... I think that counts as gay

also are you a psychopath or something? Who the fuck calls someone "breedable"

probably people thinking it was a fluke

Lev, PRX, T1, G2, C9 imo

I think so, yeah. PRX looked very shaky, and if they played that way against a solid but not top team like LEV, I think they get crushed.

Okay, good luck!

(what if not posting IS the jinx?)

The sonic sensor just needs a complete rework. It's absolute shit and does nothing. Right now, for Deadlock to be viable, you need to say that the three other abilities are good enough to counteract the uselessness of the Sonic Sensor.

I'd suggest making it not noise, but simply time in range. If the person within range of the sensor for [insert time here], then it activate. You can shift past it, but a slight messup in shifting makes it pop. (so if it takes one second to shift out of range, 1.25 second delay). IDK if this is even enough though.

KOI is an ....interesting pick

But yeah, I agree. I think DRX has a chance to get past T1 if Flashback and Foxy9 can learn quickly though.

Yeah, Loud and NRG. Lev didn't look great, and while I think SEN is good, I think NRG is just a lot better on paper.

He was actually a really good color caster, and that's what matters

You can't deny he was on their level before, he was extremly inconsistent

But yeah, he really has been an extremly effective flex.

hate to break it to you, but it's 2024 and SEN actually looks pretty good

bad

step 1: be good at valorant

thats not how it works....

what are you talking about, I've used it like twice?

Edit:

To quote myself:

1: I said "most people"

everybody thats not a degenerate isn't on vlr, which is suprisingly a lot of people

2: good job on becoming a degenerate in only 280 posts, bro truly mastered it quickly

dw bro, same :(

good job on becoming a degenerate in only 280 posts, bro truly mastered it quickly

no guys what about my pickems :(

but yeah this is terrible

nooo mibr pls dont ruin my pickems im 25/25

"actual skill good strats"

what?

also valorant is a game, the point is to have fun, watching PRX run it down is 100% more exciting than FNC wait an entire minute for them to go, "AHA, that was 2% incorrect! Lets go b"

why are we suddendly releasing lyrics that go hard as fuck, someone needs to make a song

im making sure Navi fans dont talk about him :)

Alfajer, Derke and Chronicle probably, but idk who else

No Runner has done literally nothing, stop overhyping him before he has played a single fucking tier one match

I said "most people"

everybody thats not a degenerate isn't on vlr, which is suprisingly a lot of people

"makes every match up against a different region more interesting."

proof? the only matchup most people watch would be FNC

It's okay, chunkio will still give a reaction :)

I play skye on Breeze and Bind(I hate KJ on those maps). Yes, looking at the minimap is what a lot of pro players do and worked better for me. It is however all personal preference.

neo frontier/arcane is goated, singularity is right behind. Ion + Reaver are good, but overrated as fuck
