zekken was a top 3 entry all of 2022

think context is key, better entry doesnt mean better player

??

so did c0m lose to sen...? and loud...? are u okay? whats the point here?

how is sentinels any relevant to leo>com? delulu

nah getting this mad over a vlr bait post gotta be studied

who's emea's best team then?

johnqt single handedly carrying emea

emea>loud

noboy cares abt tier 5

just bc furia has been in tier 1 for years now, doesn't mean that brazilian cs is back or is good. otherwise we'd have to say that german cs is back bc big has been in tier 1 for ages, including a top1 hltv placement at some point

huh? no one said anything about n4rrate, all knew he was insane thats why he was trialed by C9 and was abt to join NRG before EG collapsed

net was surrounded by a way better supporting cast on tgrd than icy on or, also can't compare the stats between the two of them because they played different roles. there's a reason why they're deciding to pick up icy and drop net

nah you don't but how do you know if icy is a downgrade if you haven't seen him play in scrims/officials? you're saying hes a downgrade based on what exactly?

didn't you go 1-13 as viper in gold1 elo

apparently, a lot of na players say that icy has been a demon in scrims, you've played him in scrims to say he's a downgrade to net?

they cant compete against nismo, he got that bald aura in him

if you literally watched his streams a year ago, you saw how he spoke barely to no english?

how is gen.g's transition better than kc's?

mce only coached tgrd and c9 and hasn't done shit w either of them apart from the qualification to masters?

frod exceeded what expectations exactly? beating a fraudulent c9 team?

you cant be serious

there's a lot more to it than just being a known talent, marteen destroyed italy's challenger league, yes but so did other people like wackie, whos still stuck in tier2. n4rrate was known yes, ill give you that. tomaszy being the greatest portuguese player is kinda yap, everyone on saw was great, including fizzy. but even then, making a duelist player completely take on another role as tomaszy did, engh and magnum did a great job, no?

where did mce, solo, frod with mibr, place consistently? not even counting zikz placements as an AC

zikz had achievements bc of potter, frod got carried by saadhak and aspas, alecks didnt win shit except being 2nd or 3rd, chet hasnt won shit after 2022 so i assume hes shit too?, what success did mce have? solo coached one event?

engh scouted a whole tier2 team and made them competitive? if you think being competitive with prx and sen w a literal tier2 team, that ppl expected to be bottom of emea is exposed, idek what to tell you

bc he literally didnt speak the language yet they still hired him, tells a lot abt him, no?

alecks - hasn't done shit w prx in how many years?
solo - you're basing it off one event?
frod - what has frod done w loud exactly? got carried by aspas and saadhak
chet - had a superteam roster last year and done shit w them, outplayed by blibli?
zikz - not even gonna comment on this one
mce - he's such a great coach, thats why hes on a literal uni team rn

idk if you actually believe what u said but damn youre delulu

youre actually delusional 😭😭

oxg is literally losing to mxs rn wym

bait used to be believable tbh, engh had a shithouse in tsm to work w, hazed,corey etc? yikes

also been a language barrier issue, if you watched engh's streams a year ago, you realized he spoke lil to non english at all

pep

name better coaches than engh?

how are u not happy abt it if you dont know how good he is?

even tho the current meta on ascent in comp games is pretty boring, i like it in ranked tho, would rather remove split again

true, mwzera could easily play raze again, he just doesn't do it because he wants to leave the roster spots for others

i mean there has to be smth abt seven, the amount of roster shuffles he survived

even if loud wins, they communicate in Portuguese, technically its emea's win

😭😭😭

agreed, bring back moe40

nah that is crazy 😭😭

oh yeah my bad then, only saw the net rumors tho

theres no way u believe that net is their best player

what does that have to do with anything? OG is top 2 and they run their CS team horribly, and so did their valorant team at the beginning, should they be in franchising too?

spirit and vp are just as useless wdym

so you really think experiencing something you never have isn't useful? u sound stupid

i guess lebron isnt a competitor, mike tyson isn't either etc etc. obvs heretics isnt gonna come back and win champs, but crumbling under pressure due to high expectations isn't new and never will be and a lot of superstarts in different sports experienced that

literally everyone of geng except karon has been to an international lan, even if its been just one game.

the only one who doesnt have any international lan experience is karon, wdym

did u play sports or any competition? did you always perform under pressure?

how are you comnparing a single player to a whole team? miniboo performed good, so did benjy

ngl i can't imagine tex suddenly finding his confidence, especially when hes getting hated by the entire brazilian community. so i imagine lev gonna do a roster move too before they become a contender

obviously they're gonna get better, i just dont see lev and 100t being a contender anytime soon w the roster they currently have. theres a reason why 100t has never been competitive w their current core

early stage of valorant has been just aim, there hasn't been any crazy gameplay like there is now. strats been limited, ppl used reyna to solely rely on mechanics etc etc

even fns said that fnatic wasn't used to being down in emea, which most likely messed w their heads as they were constantly trying to close the gap. just bc you're experienced doesn't mean you can adapt to a situation you most likely never been in

never said scream was better than tenz? i said i'd put him up there w terms of raw skill, which he proved stat wise
