also I think it's easier to learn how to lurk then to learn teamplay. and even if there is someone waiting for the lurk, it's essentially a 1v1 which someone with good aim would thrive in

I feel like it depends on system tho. in a team that is more communicative doesn't necessarily need that compared to a team that follows a strict hierarchy of comms.

would it not be better? it would be easier to call shots and rotates given what he hears ie if players are rotating, positions of the enemy killjoy etc.

horrible take. that's like saying cned is shit and no longer that guy anymore because he had been playing on that acend roster for a year

did u not read, munchkin can easily take up that lurking role if he plays controller. some of the best lurkers in mako marved mf are all controllers. and if you have 1 designated lurker, your entire game plan is flawed

I feel like the fragging role of kayo and Skye is less prevalent now, and so it requires a lot of teamplay and learning timings to set the team up better

honestly I don't mind if xeta stays on flashes. his flashes and nades were timed extremely well, but yeah I hope to see him back on sova

lurk isn't just the sentinels job, controllers can do that role just as well

nah playing astra would be aids. I want him on sentinels so he doesn't have to do too much with his util and just simply think about his positioning and aim

funny enough I think every overeatch player has found decent success in valorant despite being owl rejects

a bit confused by these roles, what I expected was
duelist: saya
initiator- xeta
controller- munchkin
sentinel- carpe
flashes/flex- ban

main consideration is to ease carpes workload. initiators require chemistry and good timings and constant use of utility in response to the other team. a sentinel would allow carpe to really just focus on his aim and positioning. not sure why he was on probabaly the most difficult role

I think the opposite, I feel like on paper they aren't as good as I hoped them to be. and in gwangju they surprised me by taking a map off drx despite losing to zeta

what form? t1 isn't close to their potential yet, which is def top 3

carpe will return when chamber gets buffed 😈

i feel like they didn't anticipate chamber nerf to be this big when they signed him

can't say I didn't expect this

hopefully ons picks up oq

can you believe this team almost made it to franchising 💀
but I guess I wouldn't mind it cuz then we would have geng suggest

where did ash even go did he get poached by an invited team

rio got that veteran team

bazzi is used to comming in eng from overwatch

did rrq actually?

lowkey better than expected considering gen beats edg in scrims

#40

I mean in the sense of starting of starting off a new season and new maps. icebox debut they lost to c9kr, fracture debut they lost to fnc. and they got dumpstered by ons and nearly lost 2-0 to wgs in stage 1 2022.

drx vs emea at champs: 4-0
edit: 6-1 forgot about fnc because of how non-existent they've been internationally 😴😴

t1 lower bracket run

4 hours? don't we have another day to go since it's the 13th pst and not 14th

drx starts off slow so who knows

wait ssun was on a jp team all this time? 💀💀

ahhh yes the classic 'hey let's shittalk a former employee and further ruin his reputation and disguise it as banter so our 12 year old fans don't realise ^^ '. banter isn't personal, this was personal

you're right but it still shows how scummy sentinels is. breaking promises and backstabbing a loyal employee was not the way to go

this isn't about the contract blah blah blah, sentinels is such a cringe org to going out of their way to make a video to make fun of a former player.

you misunderstand, OP is essentially trying to say that whether shazam is in the right/wrong is whether or not he told the truth. regardless of whether it's true or not, it's still scummy for an org to make such a vid

this isn't about that tho. this is about an org actively trying to humiliate a former player

and to the people saying shittalking your former org isn't good, unless I'm forgetting something he did, responding to soemthing like this was needed. a video like this essentially ruins his brand image as a player and igl

I support shaz in this instance besides his stray on shroud. I think it's crjnge af for an org to take shots at a former player let alone someone who did the majority of the intellectual work. they really out here saying shazam didnt want to be there when the best they could give was rawkus as a coach despite their org reach and money, I would be pissed at them too

solo has been a coach for a while now. I'd say he isn't forgotten at least among the korean fans

*10 man

nahh the pastel green was so good. now it's just a generic jersey u can find on an amatuer team

I guess that's preference but it's a fact that the old jersey is so much better 😭

wtf is this shit, they ruined such a good name and jersey

it's such a shame, they could have so many options but they never choose the right ones. I hope wgs and spear make some moves

yeah I saw the OQ team lists. I'm afraid I'm a little disappointed

OH HELL NAW RIO IS ASSS

I went through their following and surprisingly there weren't as many as I thoguht there would be. they are like the only good FAs that are signed to rio

dongho is not good lol. and while there is some truth and NS/ONS could sign a roster that rivals damwon on paper, these rosters might surprise us. these shit rosters were tearing up teams in esl

ssun harry intro are all part of rio company as well. I hope they build a team off this core with maybe like goddead and bangnan

bleed ominous (bleed analyst and person who wrote this article) said rio is coming back and ssun is signed to rio company so maybe?

decent roster imo, but surprised they haven't signed a big FA considering their reputation
