Personality clashes most likely. Verno seems like a guy who just tells you how it is without hesitation and that often doesn't bode well

And thats why there is 5 people on a roster and not just 1. You get players that compliment his, he doesn't comm alot - get someone who does. Not a hype get - get a "zellsis". Proof is that he's played with mitch, skuba, reduxx, rustun on oxg for a long time, so clearly with the right people it works. It just didn't work with NRG but that doesn't mean hes a bad kid/teammate

G2 vs Trace: Mid Chance (Trace have alot of cool ideas but wont be enough)
DRX vs SEN: High Chance (SEN have always leveled up at internationals and this is alot of first for DRX)
VIT vs T1: Low Chance (Individuals are too good)
EDG vs TL: High Chance (Most likely recency bias and just alittle down on EDG, but also high chance of just being a wash for EDG)

For bang to win at bang kok, banging kok

monesy is moving to valo.....? sheeshhh g2 really cooking LUL

i got bored

TL are such a hard team to rank, sometimes they look amazing, next second is bronze gameplay

Did ChatGPT cook or nah?

1. G2
2. VIT
3. EDG
4. SEN
5. DRX
6. TL
7. TE
8. T1

I hope there is an official statement soon bc its hard to believe, when the entire core of OXG spoke so highly of each other

you could grab skuba, who has played with verno and bonkar. Not saying he's better but not THAT much worse

verno punched someone??? is the source reliable?

yes not the best players but they don't have a bad track record and can shoot straight

When you only have 1 year of s0m/FNS and the team is bad, its tempting to jump ship no? This isn't a tenz/sacy situation where they had a real opportunity to win. Try to get stellar/skuba and keep verno/bonkar

Not trying to discredit FNS's ability to read the game bc its definitely one of the best. However, when a player comes out and says its his last ride and the team is internally bad. I would bail if I was the org and keep bonkar (who is highly regarded as a coach by sayf, dapr, etc.) and verno who has alot of room to grow.

And if s0m goes with FNS, you can bring in skuba, who rob said he would sell for cheap off cubert.

I understand he's an IGL but he's older and his mechanics are dropping lower. Why not invest into the younger players and keep verno and bonkar???

Is there really no younger IGL's? Stellar, Runi, poised, gmd, or someone even younger and mold them

SEN vs G2 - 30/70 G2 - Correct
MIBR vs KRU - 50/50
T1 vs DRX - 40/60 DRX - Correct
TALON vs GenG - 25/75 GenG - Correct
TH vs VIT - 50/50
FUT vs TL - 85/15 FUT - Way wrong

Thought LEV would be ass at the start of 2024, top 3 champs
After MIBR loss to 100t, I thought they wouldn't beat c9
After MIBR beat c9, I still thought they wouldn't EG or LEV

You really can't count any Aspas team out

:(

:(

Mainly the breach and omen, he was a duelist main prior to going to KC and even then he really only played gekko and fade for them

I SECOND

It's all the role swaps, n4rrate is clearly not comfortable and it's fucking with his gameplay.

I see the sen flairs celebrating then when we lose, all the flairs come out

that makes sense, they struggle to be objective when it comes to their team. Aren't alot of fans like that? I guess the sen flairs tend to be the loudest in NA

but our team has been shit outside of last year, let us cope a tiny bit LUL

chaotic neutral

but you know, I'm cool right? I'm just a chill guy

Whenever I "lose" faith, the team more than likely wins. When it comes to normal sports or esports, whenever I'm happy we lose, idk why.

So I try to reduce voodoo that shiii LOL

Genuinely asking, the amount of engagement when sen lose vs win on this site is crazy

Are we the lakers of valorant? Only fans to root for sen are sen fans

EDIT: In conclusion, all the sen flairs are fucking it up. We gotta tighten up and be "little brother" annoying at most LUL

its all good, lower bracket we go. G2 better team today

respect to g2, y'all are insane

time for lower bracket

I just don't believe this is a year of "meta" comps, you can genuinely surprise teams as I think so many things feel viable. Try to make valyn make adjustments on the fly

I love how they are basically perma-deadlock

It worked for a moment, like their reyna on both bind and ascent, but the issue is that its very gimmicking. When a team figures you out, you change it but they didn't. I genuinely believe that every team should have different comps on maps that play differently

Why don't teams run a gimmick one and done comp more often? If a team has a weird comp, in this case yoru and chamber on abyss, and are extremely good at it. Why would you run the "meta" comp against them, especially when you had a week to prep?

G2 had no demos on sen for abyss, this your chance to surprise them and you bring a comp that G2 has guaranteed scrimmed 100 times over. I just don't get it, is it THAT hard to create a comp that works?

:(((((

why are we so bad at them???? breeze, ascent, abyss, haven (until we switched to neon)

he's too good to be on any team, he's laughing while shitting on everyone.

put him back on c9, where he tries to solo carry again

lower bracket we go

The only argument you can MAYBE really make is they haven't played that strong of teams in c9 and lev, but even then their form is too good rn to not pick them. However, I do think it'll be closer than what people think just bc sen have better mechanics compared to c9/lev

TL have a shot but they giga troll sometimes so its hard to really back them, FUT seems more stable

SEN vs G2 - 30/70 G2
MIBR vs KRU - 50/50
T1 vs DRX - 40/60 DRX
TALON vs GenG - 25/75 GenG
TH vs VIT - 50/50
FUT vs TL - 85/15 FUT

Remaining Games
SEN vs G2 - 20/80 G2
TH vs TL - 60/40 TH
T1 vs DRX - 25/75 DRX
VIT vs Winner - 95/5 VIT

thats actually insane

The past is the past and none of this matters anymore, although yes, he was given opportunities I felt like they weren't fair opportunities. During 23' League play, foxy was playing well on the duelist but dumped off after the PRX playoff loss, then dumped off again after the EG loss, resulting him not playing for the rest of the year. In 24' they took him off full time senti and given it to flashback (which is understandable) then dumping stax and making foxy play those roles (historically he hasn't been great at), and yet people still expected great performances out of him. How is it fair to have high expectations for someone when you keep changing their role? Not everyone is flexible or a flex player

I'm just saying this bc I'm a believer in foxy9 and his mechanical ceiling. I think he can be a great player with correct coaching. I just believe termi didn't manage him properly

I'm talking specifically about the 2023 roster, they would scrim with foxy9 but they would drag him out whenever the going got tough, how are you supposed to build confidence as a player that way? Then in 2024, when he was on full time senti, he was playing at his personal high, then was converted into a flex player with alot of initiator work, which resulted in his level dropping. I'm not saying he's like this all time player and should've stayed on the team but they haven't managed him well at all especially when trying to develop him.

Zest got no scrim time the entire year but was chucked into the most important matches and was still expected to produce results.

Then benched both rb and zest after AVL in December when champs ended in August giving them no chance to find/trial for another roster.

the 11-3 was too good

2022 FPX vs DRX Champions
2021 SEN vs FNC (First masters bias ofc)
2024 EDG vs TH Champions
2022 PRX vs G2 Reykjavík

Some of my favorites off the top of my head

The number of small mistakes that they were making was large which is not something that is normal for an FNS ran team.
