Can you rank the 5 top teams in Pacific with the highest ceiling in terms of potential. Excluding GE. Can be in order or not, doesn’t matter.

we got a vlr expert here

then what trophy are you talking about. Surely you don’t mean the stage 1 trophy last year bc DRX has a regional trophy of their own

They are all inactive and boostio didn’t win it with 100. Don’t take pride in another teams work

https://liquipedia.net/valorant/Portal:Statistics

Also, DRX are among the only 8 teams in val with $1,000,000 earned. 7 if you don’t count EWC

That’s good, you seem to forget that very few teams can actually stay consistent in valorant and DRX is one of them. You can say they are mid all you want but at the end of the day, top 6 itw is not mid. 100T is mid. Making internationals and performing well is a good thing.

DRX were the top placing Pacific team for 3/5 of all champs tournaments btw

Foxy9 was literally only subbed out bc he played like complete shit in important games. Classic termi haters who don’t even understand the context of the foxy9 situation.

yep

Did we not just 3rd place at champs, while fielding one of the youngest and most inexperienced teams in all of VCT.

Francis would be perfect.

he has meteor it doesn’t count

since when is 5th-6th itw not a good placement?????

Also, pacific only fully developed to become on par with the EMEA and AMER regions last year.

Also, the players always attribute their success to termi a lot and they all trust him as a coach but yes vlr user SnorlaxEnjoyer knows better

next year bro trust

Top 3 twice is reasonably close tho

pls stop putting autumn and termi in the same sentence. termi is easily top 2 kr coach, and considering Gen G poor performance this year without meteor, he might be top 1.

don’t think we can even afford him unless he takes a pay cut. I’d rather us use the money to keep this core together for as long as possible

if he does take the pay cut, then 100%

syfm

assuming we stick with the same roster. Or make a big upgrade, like somehow getting meteor or poaching francis from NSR, what are your expectations for this team next year.

okay but have you learned your lesson

is that 67/10 or 6-7/10

i coach system cannot stay in tact when the head coach leaves

none yet for top 5

By top 5 i’m assuming DRX, PRX, GEN, RRQ, TLN

did they even give him an offer?

I think you meant guess not predict

LMFAO, did you only watch the last 2 games and based your opinion on that alone?????

what exactly do people see in him that I don’t

Francis or Munchkin over BeYN so the team can have an IGL

the actual best roster is just -SSees + JoXJo or try to get CLZ from zeta

Then maybe you can argue replacing jinboog or gyen with yatsuka or caedye

lmfao, ur acting as if im not the one that has watched eveyy try DRX game, the only thing you can say maki was bad at was utility usage, other than that, he was easily the 3rd best on DRX individually across the entire tournament. Also he basically won us the game vs G2 to start the lower bracket run. All you can say are claims without any proof to back it up.

mako didn’t have a bad event at champs, its champs, his stats aren’t supposed to be something insane while he’s IGL. It was okay overall

Karon had a worse kickoff, they had very similar stats while MaKo had more team success

Stage 1 MaKo was ahead, while mako still had to igl the first 3/4 matches, after he stopped IGL, he went on a multi game run better than any run Karon had ever produced this year.

Stage 2 they were pretty much the same, you can even argue MaKo did better bc DRX had a better stage 2.

Also in no way can you say MaKo was carried when he’s the IGL. DRX have won kickoff, and 3rd in champs with him as IGL and has done nothing when he’s not IGL, he’s obviously the difference, so a drop in his stats isn’t a big deal

MaKo statistically better than Karon is every category during ever stage this year except kickoff where they were equal. MaKo’s run in stage 1 playoffs clear Karon’s whole year. Mako was also igl

and? you’re trying to twist the argument. You are saying HYUNMIN has a much harder role, when he doesn’t.

I’m happy as long as they keep him on senti, and make Flashback a flex

not really bro, he acts like a bait but with no risk bc of the refract, it’s Flashback that actually have to make most of the entries

we are all crying, have some decency. Save the convo for after champs

he himself did not want to igl

that’s not their game plan bro, just look at how they played it before. They just had bad starts and then everyone got scared to push bc they didn’t want to “throw”

yes i can and i will. He did it for stage 2 and champs last year. Then he was taken off it for the entire offseason, then but back on it right before kickoff.

inexperienced as an IGL. However he did mention wanting to embrace it more. If that’s the case, i think we could see much better performances next year if he uses the offseason time wisely

tbf, estrella took over the IGLing for the team when Flashback was out. And Flashback only came back a few days b4 stage 2. The logical answer at the time was to not change IGL. In hindsight however, it was the wrong decision.

horrible end to the week for me

this year kinda wasn’t his fault

if your’re talking about that tweet where he was apologizing for taking a break mid season.

The part about him retiring was a mistranslation

there is none

they were 5th-6th in the region, trying to reach a high level in limited time. One comp is literally the right move in that situation.

bigger moment, higher pressure. Still despite that, held his top. He was even tied for top frag for the team match despite not playing well.

2nd most kills in lower bracket run. 20+ kills ahead of 3rd. Big reason why we beat MIBR to make top 4. HYUNMIN had a horrible game that day, but ppl don’t hyperfocus on his mistakes like they do with flashback

?

yeah, also sucks that this site is heavy majority english speaking. So most of the fan base that actually support the team isn’t gonna be on here
