Yeah that's true. cNed is maybe an A-tier rifler, while everyone else in the server except for boaster is A+/S

posted about a year ago

I think he's just overshadowed by his teammates in rifling. Suygetsu, Shao, and sometimes even Zyppan are world class riflers. Ange1 when he's on is a great rifler lol

I agree. The dude was OPing as Breach at one point so I'm pretty sure he can adjust.

Either that or Sayf goes duelist which isn't that unlikely

Oh yeah Vitality is solid for sure but I don't think they're at the level of Fnatic with Chronicle and Leo; or Liquid with nAts and Redgar

posted about 2 years ago

cNed in Vitality is literally the same as ZywOo and friends.

I really want cNed to be in a top team but as it stands right now, none of the top EMEA teams need an OPer

posted about 2 years ago

Sheydos would honestly be a better fit for Liquid since he's pretty much a better soulcas. I won't complain if they get nAts though.

Also, have people forgotten about nukkye?

A common complaint from last year's Top 10 is that only one player (keznit) is from outside NA/EMEA.

Now the top 10 has 1 NA, 3 EMEA, 2 BR, 2 SEA, 2 KR.

Rank these matches based off entertainment

2021 Reykjavik - SEN vs FNC
2021 Berlin - GMB vs NV
2021 Champions - ACE vs GMB
2022 Reykjavik - OPTC vs LOUD
2022 Copenhagen - FPX vs PRX
2022 Champions - LOUD vs OPTC

My personal ranking would be:
2021 Champions
2022 Champions
2022 Copenhagen
2022 2021 Berlin
2022 Reykjavik
2021 Reykjavik

All of them were pretty good though.

No way Liquid is cutting Nivera while ScreaM is on the team. The only possible move here is -dimasick +Redgar. Dimasick has been great but it's obvious that an IGL is more important now.

If ScreaM leaves (which I really don't see happening), Nivera would probably also leave. You then replace Nivera with nAts and Scream with nukkye or Chronicle

This leaves you with:
Jamppi
Chronicle/nukkye
nAts
soulcas
Redgar

I guess this team is about the same strength as 2021 Gambit since Jamppi > d3ffo, soulcas < Sheydos

After around 20,000 votes, the top 10 are:

  1. OPTC yay
  2. LOUD Less
  3. LOUD aspas
  4. PRX f0rsakeN
  5. FNC Derke
  6. DRX BuZz
  7. FPX SUYGETSU
  8. FPX ardiis
  9. DRX stax
  10. FPX Shao

I have also removed some less-known players from the overall list. This makes the choices a bit "easier" as more well-known players will appear.

Maybe after some time, I'll try to remove the players which barely have any votes from the choices. I'll wait for the list to settle a bit first though.

posted about 2 years ago

I doubt players from EXL, AE, OGLU would even crack the Top 60 anyway so it's fine to keep them there. I just added every LCQ team for uniformity's sake. I can't just add Chronicle, Nats, etc. and leave out the rest because people would then ask why I'm choosing specific players. If the player shown barely even sniffed LAN then just don't vote for him unless you really think he's worthy of the vote.

Since Champions just finished, here's the player ranking survey for this year.

Survey link: https://www.allourideas.org/2022ValorantProRankings

The site will present you 2 players from any region. All you have to do is choose the "better" player between the two. There is no criteria on what "better" means so it's up to your opinion on which criteria you would use to pick out the better player. You can stop the survey anytime by just leaving the website.

The players in the survey include everyone who participated in Champions + the regional LCQ teams.

If you don't know any of the players, you can click on "I can't decide" to skip. You can keep answering as much pairs as you want but you can also stop at any time.

For reference, the player ranking after 2021 Champions was:

  1. GMB nAts
  2. ACE cNed
  3. SEN TenZ
  4. TL ScreaM
  5. NV yay
  6. GMB Chronicle
  7. FNC Derke
  8. KRU keznit
  9. C9 leaf
  10. 100T Asuna
  11. ACE zeek
  12. SEN ShahZaM
  13. TL Jamppi
  14. ACE starxo
  15. TL Nivera
  16. TL L1NK
  17. GMB d3ffo
  18. NV crashies
  19. SEN SicK
  20. 100T Ethan

Thank you for reading my post and participating!

EMEA has so many good players that you could probably make 2 to 3 different superteams and just arrange them on how you see them fit in with the other players.

You can probably start off with a pool that goes

OPer: cNed, Jamppi, Derke, ardiis
Flex/Duelist: nukkye, ScreaM, alfajer, Chronicle
Initiator: Leo, Shao, soulcas, Sheydos
Viper/Sentinel: SUYGETSU, nAts, Meddo, Nivera
IGL: ANGE1, Boaster, Redgar, BONECOLD(?)

Then tbh just mix and match.

It's because of the minerals that come from the rocks on the land. Water, whether from the rain or the waves, corrodes these rocks. The minerals from these rocks eventually gets washed up and reach the sea or ocean thus making it salty.

I haven't watched KRU a lot outside of LANs but I've always noticed that NagZ, despite being an OPer, doesn't have eye-popping stats or an outstanding K/D. Do I only catch him at his bad games? His stats rn remind me of d3ffo back in GMB/M3C where he wouldn't frag out despite being on Jett. In d3ffo's defense though, all of his teammates are cracked so he doesn't need to frag out too much. Is it the same case with NagZ?

I don't mean to shit on NagZ or anything I was just really curious.

The Philippines has a lot of young promising talents. We can probs build another PH superteam once everyone in TS retires. The question is will that superteam be enough to make it to LANs

If the entire Sentinels team disbanded and all of them became free agents, I think Sick would still be the one most sought after.

My personal list would probs be:

  1. SicK - Excellent flex player, would probably fit in any team, great aim and game sense to top it all off.
  2. TenZ - Still a premier aimer, might be useful to a team that needs a Chamber main/OPer.
  3. dapr - Became an initiator player when SicK left but I still believe he could be a decent sentinel. Nothing special but pretty solid still.
  4. ShahZaM - Hasn't been fragging like he used to but still a pretty decent IGL.
  5. shroud - Past his prime but is obviously the most experienced player in the team (tournament-wise). Can be in the "Hiko role" back when he was in 100T in Masters Berlin.

ShahZ and shroud are interchangeable too tbh

Real leaked script:

Iceland 2021 - Sentinels (NA team that people thought to be the best in the world)
Iceland 2022 - Optic (NA team that people thought to be the best in the world)

Berlin 2021 - Gambit (EMEA/CIS team that beat Optic/ENVY)
Copenhagen 2022 - FPX (EMEA/CIS team that beat Optic/ENVY)

Champions 2021 - Acend (EU team that underperformed in Berlin)
Champions 2022 - Fnatic (EU team that underperformed in Copenhagen)

While I agree that they are young and will probably just get better over time, it's insane to think about how Gambit/M3C (except Redgar) are all younger than the DRX players and have already accomplished so much.

Hopefully that changes this year though when I try to make another survey after Champions.

f0rsakeN, Jinggg, Mako, stax are top 20 for sure.

mindfreak, SugarZ3r0, Meteor have top 20 potential

Zmjjkk might also even crack the top 20 depending on how he plays in Champions

posted about 2 years ago

I agree. He wasn't a bad player, but as a Jett player, a lot more was expected from him.

posted about 2 years ago

I would personally rank Chronicle in the Top 5.
Sheydos and Redgar were ranked 22 and 23 respectively in the polls. Last Champions though, d3ffo did have a higher K/D than Sheydos and Redgar but I personally would still rank Sheydos higher.

I've closed off the poll before 2022 started so the results won't change. I still have the complete results though which includes 180 players.
