overrated igl, has always been, give any good igl derke, leo, chronicle and alfajer and they would win too

he is ass loool

no derke no party, time to retire m8

shhhhhh, the homos and women will come for you if u say the truth about their cutie patootie

yes, worse players, its a shame that GenG lost Meteor that was the best lineup I have ever seen from pacific, PRX aint bad in terms of ceiling either but you know what their style is

btw click should be above flor, impressive performances by flor playing with plumbers but I doubt that flor can keep those numbers for a season at apeks, click also looks better on the eye test imo

some of the roles are wrong but put qraxs last, cant stand that guy, literally a fucking bot

just a bot

EG 8th lul

used to farming plumbers like aspas in finals

he was farming t1 players in 10mans in the offseason

how can someone so clueless about the dynamics of the game speak with such confidence? do u understand that not all igls need to be aleksib to be callers? there are different styles of calling and u dont need to micromanager every detail to be a "caller", caller just means anyone making calls in the game, the igl is the main caller/voice but its common to have a 2nd igl who can improve your calls like pati did with boo or a player making a call if they have a good read in a specific round/midround situation, players at this level all can think for themselves and know what the right play is in most midround scenarios

maybe, they look like the 3rd-4th best team in the league with a sub so could happen since chiwa is really really good

Boo is a caller, u cant be an igl without being a caller, u can be a good caller but not be the igl

I have barely played ranked these last 2 years, used to be high immortal now I just get 0.9kd bots in my games or have to play against players higher than my current rank because I have high MMR, just gotta play I think until you get good rank and MMR in order to have teammates above 80IQ and that dont have 3 fingers in each hand

its hard imo, riens is basically the perfect initiator but the ability of wo0t to just run into sites and headshot 3 people is generational, its a shame that we dont see him on duelist more often because he is the donk of valorant in the sense that he can win games on his own as an entry fragger

a TH VIT upper final would be insane ngl

kinda crazy that u dont remember that generational wo0t performance, I personally dont remember anything about the mickey mouse Madrid tournament after groups

delusional lmfao

u only watch apac or what? 0 talent in APAC outside of Korea, China and PRX, u guys are so shit u need to list players that broke through 4 years ago and "Monyet"

all either korean, mid or players that have been around for years like forsaken/buzz, should have worded it differently, not APAC but rather SEA, just look at the number of talents around or better than primmie that emea has produced last two years for example while SEA can only produce one special player, thats why he gets overhyped

u could ask any non biased pro and they would prob say the same, most wont say it in public but I think the only way one can expect him to be the best itw (specially as a duelist) is if u have a drinking problem

I could explain but I dont have the energy for it rn but its also pretty obvious if u have deep understanding of the game mechanics (he is still really really really good tho)

denying what? I said he is really talented but its delusional to think he will ever be the best itw

not a good duelist, doesnt have the potential to be the best itw but he is still really talented, he just gets overhyped because apac doesnt produce talents like this very often

its a bit of a shame that wo0t doesnt play duelist on his team otherwise he would be first for me or really close 2nd (same for sayf) but:

1. derke
   Lewn, kaajak, Xeus, Miniboo (no particular order)
   special mention to Click who has the potential to be one of the very best itw, just didnt put him in my top5 because I feel like he hasnt shown his full potential yet

gsr e rexxtoned sono forti forti

mi spiace per lui, liquid ha dei bei talenti nella academy però

lets be honest NaVi wasnt even close to challenging for an international title that season regardless of placement, there was no worlds they would have won tokyo or any other event, also EMEA was a disgrace back then, making top3-4 in 2023 EMEA is the bare minimun for any half decent team at an international level like that NaVi, just look at the rosters and how teams other than Fnatic performed internationally, the level was just really poor

not a valid argument since were shit even with him 2023 and 2024 + team collapsed after he got kicked, ardiis talked about how they all left in bad terms with ange1

sono una squadra di handicappati, i singoli sono abbastanza forti ma sono ritardati tranne patitek

batman is just there because turkish, straight back to tier2 after this szn

common knowledge, orgs need to stop putting trust in coaches and just trust IGLs/empower players when it comes to power dynamics in teams/building teams, hopefully coaches become less important once we have more established IGLs in EMEA

d00mbros is on fraudwatch ngl, engh needs to be first on this list, made a team with magnum as igl and a bunch of bots win kickoff

what has potter even done to be regarded as some genius? had a team with 5 top players in EG and has done fuckall since or before that good 6 month period with EG

a football coach is basically a manager of 20-30 players, maybe even close to 50 if u count the B team, has a staff of 10+ people and football just has different dynamics, the most important piece in most esports and specially FPS will remain the IGL, there are are excepcional coaches like b1ad3 in CS but u cant perform miracles without an IGL u can trust in game, every b1ad3 needs his aleksib or boombl4 and players like s1mple/elec/perfecto calling too

for me its clearly derke, he also diffed aspas in the only grandfinal they played against eachother, kang kang is good but he wasnt doing well before champs grandfinal, he would need to keep it up and perform like that for longer to be in such conversation, like aspas he had a huge playstyle problem that hindered him and his team which was him buying OP a lot and his rifle skills suffering cuz of it, I feel like it has gotten better recently but not as good of a rifler as Derke

imagine if KOI, Giantx and NaVi were serious orgs, the league would be stacked af

not as much as demon1 but yes, a duelist like derke (true goat of valorant) will always be valuable for his team than someone with a star complex who thinks he is an anime protagonist, I think his days are numbered as a duelist but he could be really good on different roles

so what? every team has talents, purp0 is still not good on duelist, giants were ran like shit dwelling in mediocrity without any intention of taking the next step for 2 years and now took some terrible decisions by renewing pipson and getting two shit players + no duelist so purp0 can play something else, a lucky win in a bo3 against KC who looked like a worldclass team against vitality wont change my mind, giantx will go out either against liquid or one after that and wont do shit all season, their ceiling is just not very high compared to others except KOI/Apeks who are VCL level teams

renewed pipson for 2 years, got tomaszy (lol) and runner, purp0 on duelist instead of signing another duelist and ruined that core of 3 very talented players for this szn, also had an average roster that they didnt care to upgrade to take the next step for 2 years before that

emea giantx/KOI

GSR

pretty trash but they just need time, Trace, FPX and EDG are all very dangerous on a good day and the game is popular there and combined with the chinese population being more than a billion it wont take long until they are a serious threat

his calling yesterday was almost flawless, u can tell he has an exceptional mind for the game even from his streams

sayf is a generational igl, insane macro and midrounding from vit

they fell off hard ngl, at least the chinese run it down like psychos

worse than China?

BBL actually have a good IGL unlike 2024 KC and good players who can shoot hard. Sh1n, tomaszy, farteen and magnum were embarassing 90% of their games

just like all the other BBL players if they stop making some t2 mistakes in decision making they will cook, they were playing insane valorant first map and during that comeback until the last two rounds but their lows are really low and they just look braindead with decision making from individuals
