100T is my favourite Americas team but ngl I'm a little bit down on them compared to last year, bang kinda clears Zander no?

xeus vs cNed is basically the JAWGEMO vs yay debate of Turkey

One is a slower more defensive style player who heavily favoured the Op and Jett, but struggle with the more mechanically complex movement agents

The other is a fucking psycho who just sends it on people with zero self preservation

I honestly kinda brushed over him as just another cracked teenager but he looks on another level

Reminds me of watching Wo0t at Shanghai

Nah Riot basically told them to go fuck themselves

They have the same social disadvantage as women from living some of their developmental years as women, the added obstacle of transphobia and no environment to play in

It's kinda fucked up

Link to the clip?

Anyone else hate this? Just feels like an addition that only helps the winning team and makes it harder to break their economy as the team that's down

RieNs

There will never be anyone worse than Newzera

Well I'm afraid I'm forced to do this back

Convergence Mumbai runneR bro put everything into that tournament before falling off a cliff in actual season

Not a single player but just TH + Primordium

They're looking decent but not perfect in stage 1, 2-3 record. Their last opponent is a 0-5 Furia to secure playoffs. Should be freelo. mwzera drops a nuke, they get 13-0'd the last map to miss out on playoffs due to the sheer unbridled spite of mwzera

Bro u don't understand how many flashbacks I get to "Zmjjkk forced to step up to the moment-" it's ridiculous

Back when PRX was my favourite team "SUYEGSTU aims the reset! Absolutely ridiculous!" played on loop in my head every time I thought about PRX in Champs GF in 2023

Imo Creep by Radiohead is as good as everyone says it is ion care

Shit is peak

Honestly W post every team should have a list like this

Mememeister >>>> all

Goat of vlr community cup (current lowest rated player in the event)

SR winning? Noooooooooo. Surely not

U say that but realistically if GC had as much effort put into it as T1 then there'd be outrage and loads of people saying Riot is wasting their time/effort and nobody cares and shit like that

Gives based takes and has TH flair

Bump because that round just there was a perfect example. Noia backs off like a normal person. Flor ignores that and sends it alone out of garage into 3 people and just diffs them all. If she did that in T2 or T1 she'd get punished

No one is better than my Mongolian youth

Yeah that's a pretty good analogy. She probably needs at least a few seasons in T2 before her decision making is up to the standard you'd want from a duelist

But her decision making is kinda ass. She pops off in GC cuz literally no one can touch her mechanically. But as soon as she gets put against players who are more than like 3/4 of her mechanical skill and are smart enough to punish her she just gets shut down and can't do anything because she makes tons of mistakes and misplays that go unpunished in GC because everyone is either too scared or not good enough to actually do anything about her playing like a smurf

SEN ain't even the best NA team all time lil bro

GENERATIONAL 1V3 CLUTCH FROM HIM, HE'S THE GOAT

Internet Explorer ass coaching staff

Buddies haven't read the patch notes in a solid year

Yeah just feels like SR has zero competition regionally or internationally it genuinely is a one team league

raderth >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Le0 on Sova undisputable

Some of the brainlets I've seen on this site would see this and probably claim the study was fake because it disagrees with them

Who were the best players at anchoring sites this year?

Imo some of the candidates are probably benjyfishy, Alfajer, yetujey, Meteor, Karon, Cryo (when he's on smokes), leaf, tex, CHICHOO and Smoggy

If you get killed by Jett or Raze in a head to head gunfight it's more often than not because they out aimed you

If you get killed by Neon in a head to head gunfight it feels like you were powerless to do anything because she just has a free advantage over you and your only counterplay is just to play passive and never take a single risk ever which is just boring as fuck

2 times master winner > GC player

Very insightful and well thought out take, must've taken you a while to ponder this one

I am fucking PRAYING that Team Spirit or Virtus.pro enter Valorant and we finally get to foster some Russian talent again because it feels like since 2022 the region hasn't been producing talent at the same rate

There's a third type

Schizo IGL'ing

This is the category ANGE1 falls under

Didn't aspas exclusively play duelist in Champs 2022?

Unfathomably based take

Yee I'll get them on the phone now

I would like to humbly request that when you see a post or thread made by Smartest_Fan, do not reply to it, upvote or downvote it. Ignore this user until they get bored

ARE YOU ASLEEP?

TL are ending 6th in EMEA at best

I'm trynna think of some weird shit on each map and I was wondering what vlr was thinking

cloudberry they're the goat of giving reasonable and measured takes

Boring ass game where they completely gutted the melee mechanics which were by far the most fun and most effective way to play and they made the guns overpowered, so so much of the game is just sitting back and spamming the guns while barely even moving

Devil May Cry 3 is the peak of gaming tho

Devil May Cry 2

He could until stage 1

Then he fell off a clip

If N4RRATE stays on sentinel then I feel like SEN might just become a zekken and friends team

In 2024 their aggressive reclears, execs and team fights were pretty much a 2 man job of zekken on duelist and TenZ on Omen or flash initiator

bang is a WAY more passive Omen player than TenZ and Zellsis doesn't have the firepower to be the aggressive flash initiator player

So if N4RRATE is kept on sentinel and is delegated to lurking and isn't enabled to be aggressive then all of SEN's aggression will hinge on zekken

zekken's good enough for the team to find some regional success with this formula but as soon as they get deep in playoffs or make it to an international it'll look like Abyss vs TH again if they keep N4RRATE on sentinel

Pretty sure they won't but it's the same IGL and coach that kept running Cypher Deadlock despite it never fucking working

Lotus is alright but I hate defending on it

Sunset is decent after the B changes

Abyss is the worst map in any FPS since Tower in R6

Alfajer gotta be mad tilted he finally gets to play something other than sentinel when hiro comes in only to immediately get put back in KJ and Cypher jail when Leo comes back

Look at dev1ce during the peak of Astralis

Man was ice cold

Obelisk ain't live (he is the stinkiest VCC player ong)
