are you 12

would be ironical to see nats complain about mistakes, just nuke that team, pure garbage

doesnt look like arguing which is concerning, they need to wake the fuck up and show some balls

its structure and playstyle problem too, coaching staff needs to go and let new ones decide, I dont think Enzo is a bad caller but the structure on this team is terrible and it seems like they are just wasting their time praccing, 0 improvement, they should genuily just run it down until the end of the season, if they try to play slow and structured valorant like this they will suck, their players arent smart enough and dont have the discipline + not right structure and apparently pracc is useless for them cuz they just keep making the same stupid individual/team mistakes

Agree but KC has talent on par with all of them, 100% better than Liquid, similar to NaVi and worse than Fnatic

everyone so ass ffs

no

NaVi higher imo but you never know with them, maybe they drop the biggest stinker today or forget how to play in playoffs when they play against the likes of Heretics, KC or Fnatic if in good form

yes

iron 2? how is that possible? bad pc or what?

true but I actually mean it, I rate my game knowledge pretty highly too, its just ranked too, even in radiant u will find a shit ton of npcs who dont know how to play the game and can just shoot well

I dont understand those who think its boring, its shit valorant that will probably get exposed in international tournaments except Heretics and maybe NaVi but if this is boring then tiktok has ruined these kids brains

dont play the game since more than a year, used to be high inmortal 3

I think its the opposite, great firepower in EMEA but tactically/stylistically a bit mid, its not that the they are bad tactically but its more on the playstyle/general approach, they just seem to want to play too perfect instead of keeping it a bit more simple and playing together which is what other regions do

its not even that its boring, I dont mind if its boring as long as it makes sense and its good, this is pure garbage valorant and they are making the game harder than it actually is

sadly only one I see with chances at international events is Heretics, maybe NaVi if they keep it up, its disgusting to watch the rest of the teams on this list just play so slowly only to end up not fighting together and giving 1v1s

play game like snail, end up running into a 3 man stack with other 2 fast rotating because u are easy to read only to give 5 1v1s without any chance to trade, Herecocks only based team in Europe. bunch of pussies trying to outplay the other team, just click head faster blyat

GIGACHAD Heretics running into a site no fucks given at 1:20 and just winning fights vs BETA rest of EMEA playing csgo only to end up running into stacks and giving 5 1v1s without any chance to trade

for sure, one of the best teams in trading, teamfighting and firepower, most EMEA teams are busy playing the game at a snail pace and trying to outplay the other team just to end up running into a stack because they are so predictable

this just proves his point, british is not an ethnicity because of historical reasons and origins of each of the nations that are part of the UK, the UK officially considers itself a country within a country and the cultural/genetic differences are big enough to not be able to consider british as an ethnicity even if they have a common language and shared traits, obviously what we call an ethnicity or not is very arbritrary

I trust the players except Mistic but the coaching staff needs to go imo, its simply unacceptable to look like this with so much time to pracc, its fine if u lose but at least u need to show some promise and that there is room to grow, the team just looked lifeless and without any structure yesterday, I also dont like how the approach the game in a general level, also very concerning to see Jamppi and Nats just overpeeking and taking fights in advantageous situations, coaches cant instill any discipline on them or they just feel there is no plan so they just try to take fights, if Liquid wants any chance to reach Champs I would just bet on a new coaching staff and hope it works, otherwise no chance imo

offseason cant be taken seriously tbf, they probably still had that apeks sinergy since they kept their core but if ur coaching staff is so bad and your practices are so bad it can only hurt and u will get worse in the long run, their approach to the game and practice methods clearly dont work if they literally look like a team that was formed 2 days ago while they had months and months of practice...

if u watched them yesterday u would know, they didnt look like complete shit vs KOI but yesterday man, KC vibes

Fire Emil and Bacon, pray new coaching staff does some miracles mid season or season over after 1 week of VCT, unbelievable that they are this dogshit after so many months of pracc hahahaha

depends on the team, KC is a new team with young players who still need to learn so its not a bad idea to play so much, they will probably cut down the number of scrims in the future, Sentinels dont need to scrim that much since they are older players who arent 19yo anymore and have shit tons of experience so they dont need to learn how to play the game at that level and individual decision making that u usually get with exp

a bit different imo, there should be a good amount of fans from americas or other parts of europe in Madrid, not many people in europe or other first world regions are insane enough to go travel to a shithole like Brazil for a valorant preseason tournament, its also important to note that its early thursday so its completely normal that the crowd isnt packed and there is no school break until next week in Spain/at time of Lock In 2023 it was summer vacation in Brazil so they should have had time if they wanted to show up at the event

its still early m8, thursday 4PM most kids are at home eating/chilling after school and adults working/just leaving work, also not much interest in these two teams outside of asia

school days do not last until that late unless ur school has classes also in the afternoon which is not that common, the main reason no1 is in the crowd is because its thursday and nobody cares about a geng-prx match in spain

ofc Patitek is a player that makes things work but you cant pretend he is even comparable to wo0t purely from an individual POV and say stuff like he is a ranked player

I mean wo0t is probably up there with miniboo as their best player so it makes sense, patitek hasnt been exceptional individually but has shone in other ways but it makes sense to want to bring someone like wo0t in, he might be the difference maker that makes them level up even more, if you can do better then u should always do it otherwise you will end up falling off if u are ok with doing fine instead of always trying to become better, just my opinion tho since I think thats what made EMEA so shit last 2 years

Patitek is their 6th and Heretics already announced that they will play split 1 with wo0t

"Obviously he might get to tier 1 and not be that good" nah, 0 chance that he doesnt perform, only challenge for him will be doing the supporting role that patitek does but individually he will 100% put up numbers

because we humans have eyes and a brain good enough to make judgements? you are delusional if you think patitek is better than wo0t in anything that isnt supporting utility and bringing vibes and exp, individually wo0t is way better, was probably the best heretics player in off season and has an insane track record in officials so he is not a ranked player as you seem to be suggesting

marteen always starts a bit slow tbf

delusional, it shows NA scouts have no clue what they are doing

no way let you let us steal your best player that easily right?!

not even aim, they just do these stupid plays that caught teams off guard

great analysis, thank u

I think Polaris might be even worse than last year ngl, Acend are fine imo since its just the league phase and there is a lot of competition in their league, if they played in polaris then acend would smash everyone too, in the end Acend might not win ascension but in terms of players they are one of the teams with the highest ceiling together with KPI and maybe a few others, Apeks is just a bunch of t1 rejects who will never make it back to t1 unless they become igls or win ascension, kaajak is talented but has never proved anything at a decent level and Apeks couldnt even beat MENA teams in Superdome...

Polaris is a farmers league, the got a good team but I dont think its better than last year, you forgot about Acend btw

not good enough for t1

has no knowledge about the game, he is clueless

Lothar is unwatchable ngl, not only is he mentally challenged but his accent/voice is annoying

bro is a baguette now

soon 2 year anniversary sweetie

Fnatic can do better than they are showing but the level is a lot higher in EMEA this year, dont expect them to just stomp everyone like last year

so much better than last year and all the projects seem to be heading in a good direction unlike last year, only ones that are dissapointing are Giants who got Redgar and have been slumping for a long time so a rebuild is needed if they wanna compete, also BBL looks shite but Elite is a top signing so at least you have some firepower to build around together with Quti, its harder for BBL since there arent many good turkish IGLs/coaches out there but Giants needs a rebuild, probably taking fit1 off the duelist role, signing a top t2 duelist, an IGL and then evaluate wether to stay with nukkye or hoody or kick are the next steps for them

I still think Enzo was a good signing as an IGL, the direction of the project is right for Liquid imo, next steps are probably getting an upgrade over Mistic and changing coaching staff, the level is really high in EMEA this year so they will struggle to be at the top but I think the team at least makes sense role wise and have a promising IGL with decent structure, this can be said for most teams in EMEA since I felt like last year all teams besides Fnatic and FUT were completly disfunctional

we made it out the hood, last year was our 9/11, never forget the shitshow we witnessed all year, about fucking time teams gave chances to t2 talent and took out the trash instead of recycling it

finally, EMEA needed to do this 2 years ago already instead of recycling trash players with no future
