1. Guard wins Ascension
2. agree
3. agree if Marved even comes off his break
4. if they get rid of zellsis and get a dedicated initiator then yes
5. I can see that happening

buy it if u want it. thats the answer to anything related to in game cosmetics.

i have 1 vandal (elderflame, complete dogshit), 2 phantoms (ion, champions), 2 knives (champions butterfly, yoru comb). rest are battlepass skins

at which LAN did Derrek prove himself? surely not Champions 2022 where he posted an amazing 168 ACS avg, 0.83 K/D, and a 0.80 VLR rating? (similar to trent's stats on LAN)

or are you referring to BcJ who had a 0.90 K/D, 177 ACS, and 0.95 VLR rating at his first LAN?

please clarify who exactly you are referring to.

because Derrek was already on a franchised org and trent wasn't. we don't know exactly why lol, George Geddes already said that trent received offers from franchised teams. you're overthinking it cuz ur a trent hater. there are dogshit players like s0m and c0m on franchised NA teams, if you think actually being skilled meant everything then you're braindead

1. doesn't matter if LCQ was online. I'm trying to disprove that constantly regurgitated bullshit about listening to music
2. Asuna was better but he's not an initiator, he's a flex player. Derrek was good at clutching, that's about it. I'd love to see him pull that off again (he never will, he's not Shao). Trent was a better fragger and multikiller at LCQ than Derrek, and he always will be. Derrek is MID.

its 2023 and we are still on VLR. its over for us vlrbros

90% The Guard wins Ascension
50% Leo will be the highest rated initiator of 2023
10% s0m will actually fill Marved’s shoes

the fact that he wasn't listening to music at LCQ and still was the highest ACS initiator at the event

recharge time on astra is too long, omen is better

are u talking about during the season or during the offseason? cuz during the actual season, you can really tell which players work hard and which don't by how often they stream (obviously theres exceptions)

no it was with xeta also dumbass. also zellsis is literally the worst flex player out of all teams favorited to win anything in franchising

TGRD has beaten c9 more times than the other way around, and truthfully, ascension tgrd > franchised c9

trent is better than everyone on ur team, including chamber abuser yay

fr just like BcJ lmao shit player

lmao ok lil bro! its sad that you know nothing about trent and that's why u shit talk him

1. c9 flops
2. The Guard win Challengers quite easily
3. DRX wins Sao Paulo
4. LOUD will be a very mid team without Sacy and pancada

shit on trent all you want but he's statistically a better Sova than Shao (not to say that Shao isn't a better player because obviously Shao is better)

SkRossi on Sova LMAO

indians fans in shambles unless he can look like Shao/sacy/Leo/trent

probably the coach

why is this mf even queueing faceit premium in the first place, he's in fucking FPL

already saw this + it literally doesnt matter. if scrims meant shit then c9 would've won red bull homeground

ban anyone under plat
g2shahzam

glad im not here anymore. i still want you banned tho

aint gonna read allat ☠️😹😭🤓🍆

???? are u referring to the HLTV top 20? or the award show? the award show is just an extension of the HLTV top 20, which has existed for 10 years now. the difference is that this year, they're trying to show more recognition to role players rather than just star players. we always wanted to know who was the best at their role despite shit stats, like the anchor of the year, and HLTV is addressing that. it has nothing to do with shit like viewership stats or anything

I scraped through the Challengers signup team list for NA, and I confirmed a couple of things.

• Will is playing with Dark Ratio, and they've signed up as Dark Ratio which means they aren't signed by Mad Lions just yet.
• Oxygen Esports and The Nation are on the list so probably not directly invited
• The Guard, FaZe, M80, TSM, SR, and G2 haven't signed up so they are likely the six teams who received direct invites.

It doesn’t matter which server you play on, you’re shit on every server

yeah thats the minimum you have to do to have a fighting chance in ur gold games

common Liquid W

unknown only by people who don't follow NA Valorant, he's practically the second best player in t2 NA after LFT OXY

hes french, thats reason enough lol

will VALORANT even take over in China? CSGO is extremely popular there already. i don't deny the possibility, I just don't think it will be extremely popular there like League is

i was being sarcastic lmao sry if it wasn't clear. i have a deep hatred for happy

from cringe IGL who only got a major MVP cuz he called around himself to coaching the second place team for NA ascension, good for him

nats is good for viper/cypher but he doesn't really play KJ. you could watch suygetsu or FNS for KJ

Kubo is very good. if you watched Takagi-san, its similar to that in a way

i read the Kubo wa Yurusanai manga, definitely gonna be watching it. if i had to compare it to something, it would be like Takagi-san if you watched that. its super sugary teasing.

Don’t let Greta Thunberg cook

bro ur so obsessed with Bocchi the Rock, u need help

tigg was by far SR's worst link, u can already see how much better they are with v1c. as for rossy, he was mid on a mid TSM roster. ofc stewie didnt play tier 1 tourneys this year, he was playing csgo this year. brax idk what happened with him, he just fell off the face of the earth but he's defo the best player on the roster

tigg and rossy 😭 they're doomed for failure

next Cryo is LFT OXY but unfortunately he has to play with ratzham

"Losing Saya will be a huge blow to tgrd" says The Guard after 2nd in LCQ with 1.01 avg rating Saya

i was gonna read the thread until I saw them speaking fr*nch

theres a reason OP named The Guard first and G2 last

nice edit and nice name ratzham fan

G2 is immediately a fraud team with someone like ratzham, nt. Meanwhile The Guard has 4 franchise-worthy players

the idea of an "L" is something only a player like Ratzham would experience

L

then ur motivation with ranked is not the problem, its ur motivation to play valorant
