MxS still cant convert low number situations outside of brawk clutches... new players same problem
should never allow that 1v2 clutch from net

c0m and cauanzin lowkey close as fuck

demon1 at 4th while aspas at 1st.... walk me through it
better ESR on astra than aspas on raze btw

also derke at 2nd 2 slots above demon1... lets see what happens when they go head to head

https://www.vlr.gg/220447/fnatic-vs-evil-geniuses-champions-tour-2023-masters-tokyo-ubf/?game=all&tab=performance -5 in demon1's favour btw

nostalgia bias goes CRAZY to put yay above him in the chamber crutch meta 💀💀💀 be serious

no zeldris + no cheatcode = disasterclass

flyuh is irreplaceable

why sen tent not on jett? zekken 13 year old no duelist experence. are sentinel coaches want lose?

who cares, can we talk about how kane scored >30 on last years spurs and finished 19th somehow
bono, lewa, kvara, and benzema all above him LMFAOOOO these rankings are actually finished

what are you waffling about bro the comment was not a criticism it was literally just if they had made the grand finals they would have played pearl
chill out bruh

in a haven comp w sova breach(or any comp w double init + senti) who plays what lmfao
aspas has no range outside of duelist and demon1 can only double on smokes which you already have boaster for

Duelist - Jawgemo
Initiator - Leo
Flex - Forsaken
Smokes/IGL - Boostio
Sentinel+Viper - Less

demon1 misses because jawg and forsaken are capable enough to pick up the jett while imo demon1's raze is not as strong in comparison(though admittedly i dont have a good reason to think that lmao)
in a lotus comp(or comps that necessitate double controller + senti) forsaken plays astra(or applicable primary smoke), less on viper, boosti on kj

potter coach btw no debate

edit: looking at this team this might be one of the most flexible lineups you can create off these players LMAO only way it gets more flexible is if you swap leo for ethan

how are your comments not toxic
and also kind of racist no cap

kj on breeze
no awp on the most awp reliant map in valorants history
neon in general
and who would chamber replace? cypher? this has to be bait theres no way youre serious

better at chugging 2L sodas maybe

and mxm went 2/2 on it last year lmao
like i said it's a strong map for them but their lotus is objectively better especially with flyuh's calling
teams would let them have lotus and they'd fuck peoples shit on it

their best map is probably lotus but ascent and haven are strong for them too, and they have very little experience with bind so the blowout there was unsurprising

brawk gets a significant amount of value in clutches and generally low number situations but i think he sometimes struggled to get the same value that a lot of at least the old mxm roster would provide
his own personal map pool feels kind of awkward too, his lotus is not all that great despite it being a comfort map for the team(given how much they pick it) and flyuh especially imo, similar story with haven(i think his haven is a bit better than his lotus, but it's not remarkable) and the team overall seem to be quite strong on it, his ascent is good and definitely plays to his strengths, and the other maps are hard to speak to - the whole team sucked at split, bind was almost never played, and the other maps arent in the pool anymore(fwiw his pearl was solid, and his fracture was weak, but the whole team's fracture was not good)

anyway to sum up the essay his map pool feels inconsistent with the team's as a whole(though that may change somewhat with a new team) and his main value in general comes from being extremely strong in clutch situations which is not great for a t2 coordinated team's support player imo
but new team new map pool and i havent watched them play in a little while so my allegations were outdated ultimately

brawk successfully defeated the mid allegations today permanently

famously, series are decided by only the very last round, no other round matters

fair enough but still seems like an odd decision
might as well get the reps in considering it seems more natural for everyone involved

mxs just had more prep lol
plus the choice of the harbor viper comp over the more classical double initiator is... questionable given the team structure

someone please explain why they played the harbor viper comp on haven instead of the more traditional sova breach omen
if tenz is trying to develop as a flash initiator does he not belong on the breach? + sacy on sova too... i must be missing something here

sen let us have ascent the brawk prediction died instantly it is the one map he is not fraudulent
mxs lost 8(?) anti-ecos by my count out of about 18 instances with economic advantage? feel free to correct me
anyway that's about 40% so if you reverse my prediction it's fairly accurate(the point is mxs suck at converting anti-ecos, and 60% is pretty bad imo)
mada still went negative on first duels so im chalking that one down as a W
and no lotus
i didnt exactly cook a full meal but i made a mid asf sandwich?

honestly wp from v1, this turtle troop team looks pretty good
probably one of the better NA t2 teams rn

gretzky is objectively better

4 goats and brawk

leaking the match results in advance:
brawk will botfrag
mxs are going to convert 40% of their anti-eco rounds
mada will double digit FDs and <6 first bloods
they will still take lotus from a flyuh masterclass

aged like milk

brawk is not that guy lol

from what ive seen of him he seems pretty normal and mature but if i hear him say "heckin" one more time i will break something
also i wonder how much of it is to avoid risk of yt demonitization

if i took a shot every time westjett said something funny or interesting or remotely intelligent id be dead sober

flyuh shits on these kids
wippie is worse than every single player MxM or SR had much less this new roster

loserpool are FINISHED

im inclined to give spurs some credit rn, ange posteclogthetoilet has them playing a style of football that we havent seen from them since poch and in that time, they've lost vertonghen and alderweireld in defense and they never really replaced them(hell, eric friggin dier was a starter)
theyve obviously fallen off a cliff since the season before poch was sacked but theyve had a very consistent string of defensive managers which has evidently not worked(though that should have been obvious to spurs' board long before even conte was hired)
things certainly seem different with tottenham, and they've adapted to kane leaving mindblowingly well - time will tell obviously if they stick the landing but i think spurs will finish above their 8th place finish last year which i dont think almost anyone really predicted theyd do lol
the midfield feels brand new even though bissouma and sarr have been at the club for a little while, and when bentancur comes back he's going to feel like a new addition too
spurs are finally changing their identity post-pochettino and i think we're all deluding ourselves if we think that's not an exciting sign

C9 more like C9th
no way they put wippie on this roster LMAOOO dude belongs in tier 2

casual take

fenis aim clears angels

ngl i think it's a matter of time before a team gives fns the keys

no disrespect to shahzam but if that's all we got right now that is... rough

EG Boostio(successfully keeps him in contract jail because the org is full of scumbags)
100T get fucked unfortunately
NRG Marved(was demonstrably not that good at it lol but the man can always improve)

just so few viable available igls at this point, getting FNS is almost impossible given his demands, and a lot of the others have been picked up(johnqt, flyuh, vanity)
seriously who tf is even on the market right now for NA? runi?

oh i dont doubt he'd build a better team than what teams are attempting to cook right now but at what point do orgs give up on their current project? seems too late for this year but maybe next year if like 100t or c9 perform badly

faze is so fitting for a guy like him LMAO

at what point does a team give up and let fns have the reins... gotta be next season right? some team out theres gonna get desperate

if you unironically think leaf is better than jawgemo on raze you have to be SEVERELY delusional

dropping aproto but keeping brawk is insane

def cleaner but i liked the ludwig vibe the old one had

flyuh boutta prove he made the right choice sticking with ludwig over moving to c9, kid clears their whole team

we gotta change our flairs now, rip

c0m solos

flair

based retiredradiant take?
