Half of these teams can’t even make top 32 in a full opens. Literally t4 how can u watch these games and think they’re good.

0.85 1600

Yeah fr like blahst on virtuoso too or any of the ex p1 players

I stg if chakaron and stallion duo they’re gonna become the next big Valorant ranked “duo”

would u guys rather have leaf and zekken or sayaplayer and trent

Yeah literally terrible. My sens too high for this 20 mile fucking radius map. 1 person not picking viper, sova/wtv or jett just loses you the game cuz that's how it is.
Normal competitive is fine if u have a chill team but for dm, it's just kinda annoying.

Everyone in NA that isn't c9 or optic is overrated. Teams like eg and ghost are underrated. Literally everyone else in the group stage is basically in the same tier. The only thing that is distinguishable between them is clout and playstyle(NA playstyles tho). Even optic is a tad bit overrated cuz of a fluke tourney like literally ridden by extraneous variables.

who even are like 60 percent of these people

Yeah that should be the main goal for them but hope they make reasonable goals. If they make top 8 or 6 it’s a good start to a new team as long as they just take it as a learning opportunity and come back stronger. There is still lcq and as said multiple times this 100t project with the new management is a longterm project where they are basically just creating the foundation for it at the moment.

He’ll get his weekly 10 kills and head out. Kinda hard to get kills tho if everyone’s already dead to be fair

C9
Optic
Faze
Lg
Eg
Sen

Sen and faze are swappable

Xset gets first in groups by literally getting the most lucky timings ever. The rng gods will bless ayrins spectre spray and cryo will get a minimum of 15 4ks. All that just to lose in play off semis and get 4th after only beating lg in lowers.

Nrg 2-0

2-1 lg

Yeah and I just basically copied the order of what it is on vlr rn but just switched 100t and tsm.

group a in order: xset, guard, nrg, 100t, ghost and tsm
group b in order: c9, optic, faze, lg, eg and sen

edit: nvm too generous to tsm switched ghost and tsm

Dk if it’s good for 100t to match up against guard early or not. Because they’ll definitely improve and learn a lot from playing a good team early but there’s also a chance that an improved 100t later in the season could upset guard. There’s also the perspective of how 100t could learn way more from the mistakes of an actually developed stratbook etc when maybe there might be literally close to nothing to learn playing a match with days of practice in a new patch.

Bo1s are literally the worst and dumbest thing u could ever make teams do in valorant

I agree

I miss old classic and old run n gun. Only reason I got kills and now I have to actually aim. Crazy

Everyone that isn’t top 2 in each region overrated + loud

I guess a couple good keshi songs will keep you entertained for a couple weeks but
my fav song rn is this for some reason https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6R-wBSj7PU&ab_channel=ChillOnly

think they're going like zekken jett on maps chamber is good so cryo can just play chamber and bcj is starting to play more flex agents? I think?

At least were consistent COPIUM. Actually happy to be there since everyone else can barely even qualify ig.
It's actually crazy tho if the league franchises xset become the only team in the history vct in NA/EMEA to qualify and be apart of every regional event first. Literally always there atleast

Feel like he’s way more more important to xset than we think.
He’s not toxic bro he’s literally the definition of an average joe and he’s pretty chill. Cuz he’s not some braindead gamer and reacts like how a normal person would react doesn’t mean he’s toxic. Man was literally the face of how xset played for a year before cryo with that run n gun spectre. He’s literally the core and original member of xset. If xset has been consistent for so long and him and bcj have been in that team for that whole timeframe of consistency we kinda have to think about maybe what they bring to their team other than stats.
And bro what he’s such a nice guy. Actually have to be a consistent Sinatraa/prod enjoyer to think he’s not

Boring cuz nothing changes. Hope they can make themselves a little bit more différentiable other than just zekken and cryo go kill.

Yeah but from what I’m getting tho from a pros POV and maybe past couple tweets maybe teams like eg and faze are actually fucking scrim demons and that’s why people are scared.
Been seeing eg associated with being good in scrims past couple weeks so

EU is better and Na is just delusional ngl. Iceland literally doesn’t matter just bragging rights. Win 2 champs fairly and NA is better
Edit: you would think emea is better if literally every NA player who has attended an international tourney somehow finds a way to say emea is better than Na in every interview

Is it just me or does group A seem more like group of death cuz it’s harder to guess who will be where like for every placement basically while group b is more harder to guess which teams will get grouped or nah cuz feel like it’s more top heavy

Group a: optic, xset, nrg, tsm, eg, ghost
Group b: guard, c9, faze, lg, 100t, sen

yeah but atleast 2 of them are gonna end up in the same group and 1 of them is gonna get pushed if not both. 100t make it through groups with how fast they're developing but feel like it's up to tsm and sen if they make it through or not. Just need to be consistent and improving.

... bro? Feel attacked ngl

one of tsm, 100t or sen is getting grouped and that's not even a hot take.

Like tenz not having an instant get out of jail card is gonna lose them half of the rounds tenz wins for them.
I am not sure if shahz/kanpeki is gonna play fade either whereas in other teams there are players that will probably like playing her. Removing sova from their comps when the roles and maybe agents they play are already fucked is just going to make roles even weirder.

Is it just me or does it feel like the new patch is gonna fuck up sentinels.

please stop the choke.

Would u rather watch a grand final of a riot sponsored event or 2 t2 teams playing to get another chance to qualify for a qualifier

nah yall just dumb only looking at the scoreboard. Kanpeki getting picked up doesn't change that sen has been constantly going down in trajectory. Zombs bottom fragging was never a problem for sen at their prime yall just used him as the scapegoat for why sentinels started losing. Literally, 2 support players who just do their job well and play for the team. They get out of so much from pure firepower but the problem is there are teams that just frag as decently if not more but also just have a better understanding of the game than sen. I get that people say just let Tenz do what Tenz does and just run it down but there's a reason why they lose with every little thing they do. People call the game random cuz teams like sen get upset but just literally stop peeking. Players constantly making t2/t3 mistakes in t1 Val and losing the game and people still complaining that the game is random. Dapr and Bdog have good decision making for example.
Nothing can ever be perfect but your goals should always be perfection and to keep it that way.
Kanpeki is a great player for his role.
Zombs is still an s-tier controller for NA. He was always bottom fragging anyway nothing changes that he's great with his role

Bro literally no one cares. They'll be back to moaning each others name's in pre scrim lobbies 3 weeks later. Just creating drama for something as common as a daily coffee in NA valorant.

TENZ BatChest

Nah but people don't understand like watch this guy's best players like holy. He is that level above "another t2 jett/chamber player'" mechanically like actually. People don't understand there are duelists in t1 that can be differentiated from the rest with their decision-making or/and literally mechanics just being better. The only problem right now is there isn't too much of a balance in the top players where someone is literally prime simple with 10 years of t1 experience in decision-making yet. Bdog seems to be the best one yet with actual good decision-making and being able to pop-off. Literally every other jett except maybe less than a handful of jetts just run it down, peek everything and just rush/forget too many situations. Maybe sometimes u won't see how talented a player like Bdog is because he decides to be a little more conserved compared to the other jetts but still.

huh eg just zoomed the next 2 maps? thought it was gonna take awhile

I'm starting to like you more every single day.

T1 will only qualify if they qualify

Holy fuck most boring pick-ems i've ever seen in my life

I have sacrificed my 4 stars for this.

UB:
100T
Knights
LB:
V1
BBG Academy

https://www.vlr.gg/pickem/5c83fe74

yeah but like better than losing round 1 or not even making it into the open at all ig
edit: nvm they got first rounded

v1, knights, 100t and sen are favourites just cuz placements but fr geng, eg etc have potential to beat those teams once and that's basically all you need if you make it that far.
