hate to break it to you, he'll always be ONE of the greatest. not THE greatest. Years after he retires, they'll still be talking about him. If you can't see that... you're braindead

youre totally right, your sideline opinion is obviously better than practically all of the global Tier 1 scene who all tout FNS as one of the greatest IGL's ever in Valorant

LOL

true that its a battle pass phantom... but its also the only RDVR skin in the game. and the only non-sidearm skin thats based on an Agent. Plus it doesn't miss ;)

RDVR phantom / Prelude to Chaos Vandal

oh yeah, I forgot about Tokyo. Lets add the 0 wins they had over NA teams at Tokyo to it... smh

EG didn't shit all over NA... their record in Americas that season was 6-7. They had a miracle run at Champs.

johnQT was also on m80 before joining Sen.

but 100T have Zander AND eeiu

no one wants to watch a show match after the Grand Finals are over and the champion is crowned

https://x.com/qckvlr/photo this guy? you serious?

• definitely Zander
• Scream (especially back in the CS days)
• ethan maybe sometimes

morals? wtf are you on about? and he was consistently the best player in Americas for a full season

lol hate all you want, he's insane

bro doesn't even list s0m

correct

region.

Americas. (North and South America)
Europe Middle East Africa (EMEA)
Asia Pacific (APAC)
China

They are only considered an import if they come from a different region. Any player from anywhere in North or South America can join any team in the Americas region without being considered an import.

its not 9am yet in LA

Go look at the past 90 days. the stats the actually matter.... Zander beats him in:

rating, acs, K/D, adr, kpr, fkpr, almost double First Kills, and only a few more first deaths.

What are you on about?

in a world where the Wooting exists... not getting the Wooting is crazy

L O L

I'm not 100% sure, but they can absolutely just decline to sell him to a team if they want.

fnatic isn't going to sell Derke to another EMEA team without an ASTRONOMICAL buyout. Derke can't just go wherever he wants... he's under a contract still.

100T? All the leaks are saying Bang is leaving.

Controller. Or duelist if he's not expected to solo entry every round.

yeah, your brazil rosters performed great last season...

didn't Brazil just finish VCT Americas with the worst team in the standings? and also the 2nd worst team? and then also the 4th worst team? can't wait for 2G to round it out so you have all 4 of the worst teams in the league. LOL

Gimme Jawg at NRG instead of Demon1

If this is like every other tournament then first tie breaker is map difference, then round difference

none of you understand that no one was saying he was the best Valorant player since 2021. Thats not what the Face of Valorant is.

you're just wrong

I'm sorry... are you calling Zander a guaranteed upgrade over s0m? Are you insane? I love m80 and Zander definitely belongs in tier 1 (the whole squad did since last year), but s0m clears

he's literally calling this season

M80 should've been in franchising already :(

That being said, the whole of 2024 tier 1 in NA would have been DRASTICALLY different if they had. No JohnQT at Sen... no EEIU at 100T

LOL, they're barely going to make it out of groups if they even do

the NA LAN Ascension isn't some shining beacon... it has longer tech delays than game play stints

they have to pay Bleed, the amount is not a set amount. Its whatever Bleed is willing to sell him for

c0m... LOL. Dude barely cobbled together a single handful of positive series and his only move is to flank. every. round.

Ethan is incredible but he's more a flex player.

Crashies is my guy, his performance hasn't been as good the past year.

But Leo clears them all.

or you know... he's been on vacation in Japan...

BECOMING a good caller? johnqt fries in the lobby and calling already what are you on about?

EG as NA's greatest accomplishment. actually dying. LOL

the phrasing was a little weird. they didn't mean that they won both masters tournaments and then also champs. They meant they would be the first team to win both a masters tournament and also champs in a single season.

pick 1 agent and play them every game. focus on gun fights over utilty.

this is almost exactly where they all placed... what are you on about

bro imagine Net qualifies through Tier 2 to franchising for a 2nd time to get dropped

thats 37.....

lol thanks for posting the placements of the teams at champs, and calling it your ranking and asking for thoughts.

g2 are known international LAN choke artists

if by "beginning of the year" you mean almost every match until today

I'm actually down with it though, if m80 make franchising and swap in Ethan for nismo

The absence of Ethan (2023's best initiator in Americas, and NRG's most consistent player in 2024 despite a failing roster) is astounding

he went positive in 6 series in all of 2024 my dude
