The rookies got too tired :(

But this would be their first trophy of vct, right ?

Sh1n and magnum

Tbf is Derke wants to retire, this would be an insane team

Alfajin' time
Alfa being alfa
Let's share

Kickoff one was better bruh, emea winner got robbed

China recap :
Random shit happens > upsets> EDG win no matter what at the end of the day

Demon1 loves something and something loves demon1

https://x.com/KarmineCorp/status/1806738078771429412 yeah this tweet

I'm not kidding, KC uploaded a video about extending the contracts of everyone until 2027, I'm gonna look it up

I hope this is satire because the team as a whole (as far as I'm aware) have a 2027 contract or will sign one on the KCX4

Yeah but still they won't buy engh

yeah but I doubt KC will allow him to leave, I doubt he will leave when he has everything he wants to

engh contract with kc expries in 2027, so the buyout is huge

Am I the only one feeling like we are not seeing anything ?

It was ok, there should have been someone to trade him I think

oh yeahhh scrubs, the entire americas region, their only lost was against c9 and the others team are definitely scrubs

the goated team gone too fast :(

Let's ignore their regular season record ig

Truly the lakia of valorant 🔥

Omen is the problem but the others smoker too, they are just too weak and omen is too strong

You don’t want to face Gen.G so getting seed 1 is good

🐀 would know

To be fair they still have to win ascension, but they should not have trouble getting good scrim partner to elevate them

You should not be able to only play 3 controllers, you should be able to play all 6

The controller role seems heavily unbalanced right now to have an idea I'm gonna expose to you the pickrate of each region (taking VLR stage 2 data of 2024) :
For Americas : Omen have 73% pickrate, Viper have 41%, the next smoker after them is brimstone at 12%
In China : Same pickrate (73% and 41%), and the next smoker is astra at 10%
For APAC, Omen pickrate is 77% and viper's 32%, the next smoker is clove at 8%
For EMEA : Omen pickrate is 75% and viper is at 31%, and the next smoker is brimstone at 6%
Across all regions, Omen have a 74.5% (for stage 2), so 3/4 of maps you will see a Omen
(In masters Madrid Omen had a 68% pickrate and over 60% in Shangai)
What can we do with this information ?
We can assume that the "niche" omen and viper fills make all the other controller useless, exemples right there : For Brimstone, why having 3 instant smokes not refreshable when you can have 5 trhoughout a round that allow you to be extremely precise with the placement. For Astra you can only place up to 4 smokes and not place any other utility, and if you place utility, you need to be 5-head to place a good stun, but Omen just look at minimap. For Harbor, you give away your position when smoking while it is not specially bad, when you need to play slow defaults and you only have a single controller harbor, it won't cut it.
I can completely understand for riot to keep Clove to ranked, but the rest (Brimstone, Harbor and Astra) should not have a pickrate that low, I really hope after champions we can see the huge patch that make controller relevant like they did with iso(but not as broken) and neon
Thoguhts ?

Brother, our team is not playing, let them enjoy

Yeah no, sen gave hopium to lev

"this is why korea suck", search what was the nationality of the masters Shangai winners ? you are gonna get surprised

Paternity leave, but for real pretty sure it's just food poisonning

Their regular seasons just ended

We might see a communication a couple hours before the game about the stuation, we can only be patient

Yeah...

Sacy is not feeling good, if he wants to enjoy himself he have the right to do so

She mentionned that 100T could hate each other and radiates bad vibes (kinda)

While he is not super team quality he is a good support player

Their main problem (currently) is keeping consistency trhoughout the year no ? They both look so burnt out, if they don't have that problem they could easily win a trophy but i's hard to get rid of it...

I'm sorry cheT, I was not familiar with your plans, hope you find a new home

Gooning mates

This will cause role issues

Engh just signed a 2027 contract
One of the higher -ups of KC also mentionned their goals is to sign long term contracts to aim for a trophy in the next couple of years so high probability all the players sign 2027 contracts too
4/5 of these players comes from T2, 2 of them experienced a lan, the team in itself is like an ascension team, and they managed to put up good fights trhoughout the year, let's just appreciate how good they did in 1 year of being together :D

Their play-offs clinch was litteraly from a team choking 2 leads...

You don't have to watch, but if you do maybe play some subway surfer on the side :)

What's crazy is that the lost their chances to go to every 2024 international events due to KO rounds

1% chance, but I believe in that 1% chance

He is actually throwing his kda

What's you guys favourite boostio cut ?
Among the white somewhat bald one
Gekko
Whatever he had around split 2
His current fade

SEN GenG and TH, no other one (except SEN vs FNC)

If I'm talon I'm just cooking strats until champs, because it's pretty hard to win against the apac top 2
