Boo stopped using Primordium Vandal

Smh

His fragging is by far better than everyone on the lists when he's not IGL'ing but his fragging took a bit of a hit after he picked up the IGL role

Ice water, princes gate or smart water

Please VIT win I wanna see KC miss Champions

Which rookies have had the best year so far?

Karon is the obvious answer for best rookie of the year (top 2 in every event he's played and a Masters trophy), but the TH roster (making 2 international events and a grand final), hiro (being subbed in and improving a stagnant FNC), primmie (being subbed in and managing to get his team to Champs), eeiu (winning Americas Stage 1 and a top 4 at Shanghai), johnqt (international event win), and yetujey (top 6 at Shanghai and Champs qualification) have all had really good showings

Who else has had a great debut?

If SEN, LEV and G2 make top 3 then 100T qualify off of points

FUT 2-1, yetujey ends with 70 kills

The Thing, absolutely the best horror movie ever made imo

Alien, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Halloween, Scream, Predator and Silence of the Lambs are all also bangers

Bro CardiB is fucking dogshit I'd rather listen to live leak audio than that fucking fraud that is not a good sign

d0rt alt spotted

It's looking like it could be the best tournament in Valorant history

I don't have friends and I find skin beggers annoying so I don't want to be that guy to randoms

I'd go with zeddy. He's experienced (used to IGL for 2022 NAVI) and is the current IGL for KPI, the team who placed first in VCL Spain Split 1 and 3rd in Split 2, and are in the play ins for EMEA Ascension

We are actually cooked

I'm all in Heretics

Yes I can't wait for Red Bull Homeground Delhi 2024 which will be won by C9 to bait people into thinking they'll be good in 2025 with another budget roster before they end the next season 0 - 4 in maps at Kickoff and 4 - 7 in series in regular season play

I gotta say I prefer Ticking Away

The section that plays with the Vandal finisher fucks so hard

Oh shit I didn't know that. Did they not have a head coach or was it someone else?

Nah he was like this in 2021/2022 when he was playing initiator for KRU, then in 2023 he had to adjust to playing smokes and seemed to really struggle with it. This year he seems to have finally come into his own and returned to his usual form

I doubt it'll be better than Ticking Away tbh

Ong, he really should try coming back to coaching

Actual pain, the only team to make multiple finals and not win one as well

We are cooked

Oh of course, especially after seeing NAVI fall apart. I imagine most EMEA teams are scrambling to get him

KC has more points which means that unless VIT place top 3 KC qualifies off of points

He's actually a banger Plat Chat guest

Hope they get him to keep coming back regularly if he doesn't get any offers

Idk why everyone keeps glazing FNC's scouting they pretty much just look at tier 2 leagues and pick players in the highest half of ratings

L copypasta literally every NA flair alive bands together to dickride each other the picosecond an NA team touches an international match or a match vs a Brazilian or LATAM team and only clown on them after they lose

Truly a shame all of the other EMEA players were diffing him and his team when they played smh

Now KC are gonna make Champs purely because they won Kickoff despite being 4-10 in matches after Madrid unless VIT pull off a quite frankly insane upset against one of 3 teams that look incredibly far ahead of them

If they had OXY or Jawgemo instead of icy they'd be the favourites for Champions imo (I say this as the biggest G2 hater on earth)

The thing that I find annoying about flor is that she won't try and make the jump and sign to a tier 2 team on her own and is content to farm all the bots in GC for free paychecks rather than try and develop as a player

SR have tried various times to qualify for tier 2 through open quals and get slapped around by nobodies so I doubt she's waiting for that to happen anytime soon

You can't tell me she hasn't had offers from some NA tier 2 teams

And saying she's waiting till she's old enough to make franchising is fucking stupid as well because when you have the choice between a player who you've only seen compete in GC or a tier 2 player you'd always pick the tier 2 player, and there's only at most 7 slots for NA duelists, which between existing tier 1 talent and upcoming tier 2 talent are practically instantly filled, meaning flor isn't just gonna get a franchising offer without playing tier 2 first

SEN fans try not to be a cult of insufferable retards challenge (difficulty impossible)

Where did he go? The amount of retarded nonsense being spurted in threads has been practically halved with him gone

Did he banish himself after the G2 loss because his brain couldn't do the mental gymnastics to explain how it proved SEN was better?

I hope so he was an annoying retard

Tier 1 ideally. Bro baited us hard in the off season into thinking he'd be a top level duelist then shit the bed in VCT

VIT - runneR + vo0kashu or nAts would unironically bang so hard

Someone cooked here

Although Leo is kinda an unrealistic pickup so paTiTek would be a better shout imo

KC didn't make Shanghai

I need one of these teams to go on a run in Playoffs so KC don't make champs

0/8

SEN would've got grouped in the form they were in. They needed the break that missing Shanghai gave them. If they still went to Shanghai then they would've had jet lag to deal with on top of that. They would've gotten minced

Honestly I'd kinda agree with him. FNC were more dominant at their peak but I'd say EG's peak was the highest level of Valorant we'd ever seen. It just so happens that the level of play at Champions massively rose from what we saw at Lock//In and Tokyo

They haven't won Bind since Shanghai, wtf happened?

They may have a serious map pool issue if their Bind isn't as unbeatable as it was at the start of the year

A perma ban with Lotus, Haven not seeming great for them, a new map coming in that's basically Breeze 2.0 which they just kinda floated and avoided last split. Then if their Bind has been anti'd as hard as it seems to have been all they really have going for them is a good looking Ascent and a decent Icebox

Nah I'd take pANcada over tuyz

tuyz may have developed on smokes but pANcada is still pANcada

I mean being able to make Cryo, Asuna and bang look world class again under his and Zikz's system despite everyone thinking they were the most washed players on earth is incredibly impressive

FUCK NO REVENGE FOR BOOSTIO

Damn no NRG fans?

2021: GMB
2022: OpTic
2023: FNC
2024: GEN.G (so far)

Me (drunk) rum

How do Xeppaa and vanity still have jobs at a tier 1 level? Xeppaa is straight ass, "flex" player who only plays like 3 agents and one of them is only meta on one map who can't shoot back to save his life. And vanity is a mid ass caller who frags like a training range bot set to medium

They've gotta have some blackmail on C9 management or something

I had 4 hours of sleep so the comments did not enter my brain at all and this shit jumpscared me so hard

Fuck you, I hate master baiters like you

Don't give me hope like that, I know it's never happening

Only international event PRX are winning is AVL 2024
