khalil is very good and always has been, but he was not on his best phase on LCQ and champions. he can be inconsistent sometimes. i think this is the reason why he is not as hyped as dgzin and mw. they can be inconsistent too, but they are starplayers.
but i agree, he is underrated af

tenz said he is having a hard time focusing, so its more than covid and his hand injury
(here is a clip, if someone wants to watch it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZ2eCvy2D3Y)

i think he needs a mental break to get back on his feet and be back stronger.
it must be really hard to focus on competitive matches while your partner is fighting against cancer.

i think tenz being benched for a while is the best decision for everyone: tenz, sentinels (org) and the team

edit: tenz is a good player and a nice person, i am rooting for him and kyedae. i hope they can overcome all this shitty situation
edit 2: it also gives time to think about a long term plan. be it rotating the 6 players according to maps/games/tatics, be it someone else IGLing and benching dephh, or whatever else they wanna cook

its so different, L take.

sykko had 2 players who are world champions and 2 players who have won masters (one of them benched, but still) and yet his team looked shitty. kaplan is showing a strong team with role changes (and i am sure he would be doing ok even if tenz wasnt needing a break).

potter is working with a bunch of players who never accomplished anything relevant on valorant. they have not proven themselves, and yet the team is improving.

we always knew EG's plan is to form their players. they didnt bring in big names, they kept their base. obviously they are cooking to deliver on long term, not short term, while sentinels is burning money and expects results right now

agree. EG's comp on pearl was a huge L, but their read and tatics for split and haven were on point.
they are improving and, honestly, potter is doing a good job considering their roster lacks proved talents

rare gutssz W

i am sad about 0-13, EG played well split and haven, but now everybody will only remember pearl and only talk about loud 13-0ing eg

tbh i am torn between untitled 6 and u

usually it varies according to my vibe, but those two are my all time favorites (which is different from what I see as his best. i am very emotion driven and they speak to me differently)

you claiming sentinels after calling vikings - former sacy team - is funny af

EG but who cares. being mad for shooting bodies is just stupid

he always does that... he is still better than lock//in translator

tuyz jogou muito bem os dois últimos mapas. ele é um dos melhores harbors do mundo, mas a astra na split não foi boa mesmo, mas o time todo não jogou bem o mapa, não só ele.

eu gostei que o Saad disse na entrevista que eles têm muitas coisas para trabalhar, então assim, a hora de sangrar é agora mesmo. fico feliz que o manito esteja ciente de que eles precisam trabalhar em muita coisa

yeah. even in masters, g2 x gambit

i hope no... 13-0's make me sad

ele é fake flagger, nao é manito. e latam tbm não é horrível

must have hopium

you everyday NRG plays: wah wah wah

I've been thinking about you, my friend. i don't really care about loud winning this game, they are probably going to playoffs anyway and would be more important to eg a win. besides, loud is looking flawed. they could benefit greatly from losing right now

best is a stretch, but i actually think they are underrated and have potential to be great. i love their nerdy setups, sinergy and creativity using utility. i hope they can go to playoffs

cauazin didn't have as many international chances last year. his team was meh. on Brazil, he did this amazing clutch, i think you are gonna enjoy https://youtu.be/p-uEPM6346o

jzz and c0m didn't think very thoroughfully on their nicks

o pior é que a educação no NA é tão ruim que um bando de gente comprou o bait pq poderia ser real kkkkk

NA education moment

don't be bitter. crowd is gonna cheer and react. its normal to scream. it happened in Brazil, it's happening in NA and it's gonna keep happening everywhere

not the same people actually. NA were among the most vocal ones about it in lock//in and now they are ignoring that they are doing the same

btw i think it's normal and not "crowd cheating", people react to games. players will hear, but from both teams, so everyone will be alert. collectively, it make noise. it will happen everywhere and it's part of lan
its not like it's possible to pass specific calls, usually just "spoils" that there's someone close

i hope too. tbk is struggling without tuyz and konan. matheuzin is so good, i want to see him succeeding

don't do anything stupid pls
i know sometimes it's hard to believe, i myself have been struggling too, but things can get better. i hope you find some help, because it's hard to get out of depression alone. i am rooting for you.

yeah. g2 was on eco, but it was poorly played by TL (without taking Mary's credit because she is insanely good and played very well)

TL went from 5-0 to a 6-6 half after Mary got this eco to g2 and ended up losing the map (and the game 2-0). g2 victory against TL started on this ace by Mary

it defies logic that KC didn't sign him. now, they can't until next window opens, afaik it's only after champions

pancada is super humble. before -tenz +marved, he even said he would be alright if benching him was for the best of the team

your team being on a bad phase is not pancada's fault. find another copium this one is just delusional

bias probably
sacy is the best Brazilian initiator, and one of the bests world wide, but some people hate him because hE iS a TrAiToR

cauazin is very good, but he still plays a little too individually to my taste. i think he needs to be a better team player/support to be a contender for this whole discussion
(edit: I'm not saying he doesn't provide a good support, but imo not as good as Sacy, Leo and Shao)

his aim is super crispy, no doubt. he is great at clutches, sure. but when we talk about who is best in a support role, there are so many factors

common mortadelo w

i love chronicle

agree. i am indecisive and i hate to rate things in order, specially when it's that close. to me, they are all the best we have and doesn't really matter the order

Mary better awper
bstrdd better entry and rifler

florescent is a beast and i love to watch her play but she has yet to be tested on international stage. it's easier to shine and farm stats on regional tournaments

Mary and it's not even close

ETA: I'll never get over this https://youtu.be/27rjadTPFes

Leo
Shao
Sacy
Crashies

idk, i don't think so, i never played/watched competitive FF, but i think FF, LOL and (mainly) content creation are the "origin" of loud, no?
maybe this is the problem, now that FF is dead, they came to val

gf's boyfriend? sick, is that you?

no judgements, tho, i've been in open relationships and they can be cool if people communicate well enough. i had a hard time managing 2 serious relationships at once, tho. no time. i was in dates all the time and felt exhausted and missing having time for myself

i think I'll pass. animations and noises are cool but the skin is kinda ugly.
my duo is buying so I'll ask him to drop for a few days until i decide if it's worth it

they really don't. see #22

i honestly wish they were right lol. although i really like loud as a team, i dislike a lot the fanbase and the community would be way nicer without kids from FF that came because of loud as an org

DRX TL and LOUD

i wish you were right.
not even brazialians can stand how delusional some loud fans are

on this forum it's true, most of us are supporting all brazilian teams, but outside of here things are pretty different. its a war out there.

loud fans are the most loyal in Brazil.

valorant brazilian fans usually support individual players, but loud fanbase is very mixed. some were fans of sacy+saadhak, others are aspas fans, but the biggest part was already loud fans that came from FF and lol, that support the org no matter what

not defending them because i actually disagree with them, but i think you got it wrong. loud fanbase now hate sacy and pancada because they left, not the other way around.
loud fans didn't leave the org because two players left.
"loudetes" are annoying af, not even us Brazilians can really stand them, but they are very loyal, too much loyal actually
(not all loud supporters are loudetes btw)

i read the title like 'aspas out marved in', since aspas means quotes and it made me very confused

w

true. but still. loud for exemple has frod (iirc), as their 6th player. frod is 36
karmine corp is fucked because newzera quitted and they also don't have a good option.

i hope the teams value more having a good 6th player for next year

de ser uma piada você entende né

valurantefanboy but there are great contenders cited above

mathematically, can NRG classify to playoffs? its weird to think they can be out of masters and champions

i was thinking about this too. the teams that didn't take seriously having a good 6th player did a high risk gamble

sem falar que as vezes parece que ele não entende o que tá acontecendo. tipo algumas situações de ninja defuse ou que alguém mata o time todo mas não consegue defusar, volta e meia outra pessoa tem que explicar pra ele o que rolou. é muito vergonhoso. a Belle realmente entende o que tá acontecendo e faz comentários interessantes
