Liquid are favs going into this

unlike other esports where u have a big prize pool and thats it in cs majors u get stickers which will continue to give u money for as long as the game is alive

no monopoly over tournament organization and then capitalism doing its magic fueled by gambling money and cs in general being an infinite money glitch for orgs who make the major thanks to stickers so they amounts of cash that the esport moves is crazy

nats on fade so he is in the pack since he is the igl, thats the logic behind it most likely

thanks for the analysis but I dont think they are keeping this shit for bangkok, classic gimmicky comp u bring to surprise heretics

zywoo real goat

if he doesnt want to do it he has a mentality problem, if your mentality isnt to take every advantage possible to win you are not a real competitor, I dont understand it either since if I am really good at something I would play it even if I dont love it but wo0t plays duelist a lot in ranked so I dont think its him disliking the role but rather him not wanting to take that responsability, same kid who said he was gonna have a heartattack if he kept playing duelist in shanghai

s1mple and zywoo dont like AWPing but they still do it

KC underrated, Giantx one of the worst in EMEA not better than gentlemates etc

your argument doesnt make sense since leo/karon/mako dont have aim styles/playstyles that suit duelist roles, wo0t has the perfect style of a duelist, shat his pants in the finals but if he focused on playing duelist he would be OP, even with these supposed garbage entry pathings according to you he was moving like donk opening sites by himself so I cant even imagine what he would be like once he fixes little details like that

u are fucking narrated

mental retardation

they should swap mini and wo0t already ffs, it just makes too much sense for both, maybe mini can play yoru or neon

these arent the best flex players lol, just the ones who happen to play for the best teams rn, someone like chronicle clears all 3, n4rrate too

delulu

that team would go crazy ngl

not even close

Riot needs to separate Americas into two regions to save South America imo, SEA will be fine in the long run they just need more serious orgs that know how to build teams

I think they still got this

Heretics might have gotten stomped but they will be at that level at Bangkok, GenG looking really good too imo

was nothing before derke and will be nothing without him

regardless of results internationally its a great year, the players that came from t2 look insane, its a positive year regardless of results internationally

I dont disagree but its not because of access to anything, they literally just get the best EMEA coaches, EMEA has always relied on set strats/other shit but they werent agressive or player focused, NA better at giving players freedom to find solutions on the fly while european teams usually are just more disciplined that they should at times, Gambit/FPX had some of the best macro ever tho. I dont think EMEA playing like this for so long is lack of skill but just the best brains in the region not wanting to IGL and having some paycheck stealers in players/coaches gatekeeping better t2 talent, now we are seeing Vitality/KC/Heretics/BBL having top tier macro and not just relying on set strats except for KC who still do to some extent. Going back to the original point I dont think Vitality is particularly agressive or EMEA teams are historically, they play scriped valorant and run set stuff without any adaptation on the fly/player freedom which is the opposite of being agressive most of the times since its so scripted that players arent allowed to have any freedom like in NA (hopefully Boaster is kicked, I have had enough of him wasting the career of literal goats with his terrible calling)

yeah prime fnatic was buttcheeks but I wouldnt say they were agressive, just classic Boaster spamming his shitty slow defaults waiting for his players to get kills and gimmicks/set strats, vitality I dont think they are agressive in attack at all but obviously depends on the map/comp

respect GenG

"EMEA val is rather aggressive with more focus on individual players" only Heretics lmfao

lmaooo

put your mouse hand in your balls and u will get more grip (unironically) or just wash ur hands if they feel dry and u cant grip it too well, if its not grip and u just feel like a bot play more, it happens to me a bit if I havent played for some time but once u get 3-4 straight games u get more comfortable

just look at what happened last time they played against eachother in grandfinals lil bro, Less was talking to Derke in DMs about playing together last year even Aspas friends know who the goat is

hopefully Mongolz or my goat the WOO

dont agree with ur delusions = bait? nice bait

they played fine for what their level is, if u watch both regions u can tell the difference in individual level between kru/mibr and their counterparts in emea, sen/g2 look good tho

brazilian brain cant comprehend they arent good

vit and liquid win

dont worry reality will hit u if u brazilian bums qualify for even one tournament this szn, if not u will see with NA teams, other than G2 and SEN the rest are bums

they dropped a close map but otherwise pretty comfortable lmfao, they have changed some comps after that game and are gaining momentum, would destroy your bum teams who shoot at the feet, if not BBL, FUT, KC or Fnatic would, maybe M8 too

only thing stopping this team is the sacred rule of european valorant which is NO MORE THAN 2 POLES PER TEAM

Poland dark horse run. Kamo+kaajak double duelist combo, patitek igl, profek, westside

better than the SEA/Japan bots but still very dissapointed in how they looked collectively, GenG look fucking fire but T1 looked shit, DRX not bad and a good core but Bein looks sus and they didnt look that clean as a team

if u knew me u would know I hate FUT for not kicking qraxs but they still have xeus/yetujey, Liquid would 2-0 your dogshit MIBR/KRU, every player in the server yesterday except keznit/aspas looked fucking handicapped, cortezia is meh and xenom is literally dogshit, ur region is dead and your two best talents got poached by LEV academy

they didnt look good but they have good players and most importantly, THEY GOT AURA like FaZe in CS

Less and Saadhak were smart joining the superior region, its the most competitive region atm and u will only stagnate if u keep playing in a dead americas region where they keep recycling players instead of europe which is the best talent factory itw together with Korea

1 elite team in G2 and a good team like SEN, rest of the region is in shambles, maybe 100T can step up later in the year but LEV wont work with demon1, NRG has only 4 players and MIBR wont do shit with aspas being a one man army in 2025

close games sure but I am talking about level, its very noticeable when watching MIBR and KRU making top4, the calling from both teams didnt look good and the individual level was on the floor, some of those players shouldnt even be on vct

they are a top4 team itw but they look better than they are because they dont have to play against heretics, geng, edg or vitality in americas

use your eyes, u got MIBR and KRU making top4, 3/4 looks dead reclying bots and not achieving shit while EMEA looks strong af, specially in terms of firepower there is a very clear difference between EMEA and Americas, watched KRU vs MIBR and if players shooting like that can make top4 its so over for you guys

how can delusional americas fans say its the most competitive region? no eyes or just american/brazilian brain?

Americas are shit

lmfao

frost true paycheck stealer, one of the best at it
