Russian duelist are crazy

imagine paying yay a million just to not play him on his best agent

o7

this is so basic but Sentinels is the team that I wanna see win
not only because they have entertaining personalities but each player in that team has interesting storylines

Johnqt - proving that he is a world class igl in his first year of VCT
Zellsis - beat the vibe merchant allegations.. this guy has done so much for SEN providing content, marketing, team chemistry, emotional leader, top level gameplay
TenZ - reminding us why he is the face of this game
Zekken - cementing his name as one of Valorant's best duelists
Sacy - reminding us why he is a Champion and also just like TenZ will be getting his second trophy

W script

NRG had really good midround calling this series though (they have like 3-4 midround callers in their team)

but other than that they didnt match up to SEN's prep and individual performance
aside from Ethan no one really stood out

bros fighting for his life in comms while kermit is trying to midround call 😭😭

they started late so maybe they forgot??

Im hoping for a SEN win.
if its another 3-1 then the script is actually real

GenG and KC have gone through the same brackets as Sentinels

• in the same group stage as the other grand finalist
• went thru to win in playins
• played the most games in their own respective region

(China is an exception)

bro theres is no way Billy billy is back bro... bro if they beat Trace bro its over for everyone bro
bro whzy is going to cook their enemy in playoffs bro

this take is so dumb.
every region gets 4 slots because its FAIR

if you favor a region over the others by giving them more slots, you kill the chance for the region with less slots to compete in a more competitive environment

China may not be the best in the whole of Valorant but you'd be surprised how quickly they will catch up and maybe even dominate in a few years from now

man its so annoying how DRX had such a good trajectory after 2022 then they introduced Foxy9 into the roster and since then its all gone downhill

man Im so happy we didnt get DRX vs PRX in a single elim

this just sounds like massive cope

Riot did most of the capsule work and the teams just had a couple of inputs on it. all they couldve done was just request something more creative

DRX sat FPX like a dog aint no way NaVi will be any different

DRX but

• replace Foxy9 with texture
• BuZz back to flex
• replace Flashback with k1ng

Flashback is a good player but just not enough experience imo

FNC
NAVI
FUT
VIT
KC
Liquid
GiantX
Gentle M8s
BBL
Heretics
KOI

I dont think SEN was at the exact same level as 100T tbh
SEN won comfortably on two maps and for their Bind they just didnt bother changing it since they played last year in LCQ

1.LOUD (just a different breed)

2. SEN (did decent against LOUD and good enough against 100T)
3. LEV (almost lost to 100T even with aspas frying + they still experimenting with comps especially the Sova in Split)
4. NRG (hard to gauge because they played bottom of the barrel Furia and the Breeze map was so close even when Havoc was wayyy underperforming)
5. 100T (this team couldve won against LEV)
6. C9
7. G2
8. KRU
9. MIBR
10. Furia

EG hasnt played yet so cant rank them

i fear its another tech pause .-.

its cause most Koreans dont understand English unlike other Western countries who are more competent at it

they have one interview probably because they wanna do it in front of the korean fans and also for the official Pacific channel. it saves time and cost

everyone is the igl in PRX

I mean a lot of these qualifier teams make changes before the season so its not like it wont make sense to pick up another coach

if he wants to coach a collegiate team Winthrop University is in Challengers so thats an option

nooooo

if you find yourself in toxicity after a session then thats already a sign that its not worth your time

you can just watch VCT if you wanna scratch that Valorant itch

you guys think mCe can bring this team up into Challengers? cause just from looking at the team its looking like it has potential

y0y

all offseason matches should be taken with a grain of salt imo

I watch offseason tournaments to see the process of how teams find their footing for the upcoming season
Most of the time though games are lower quality than actual VCT matches since they are still experimenting

I think its less about zekken but more of SEN being a clout org so they naturally will have a lot of fans and haters tearing them down once they lose
theres definitely a lot of pressure for them to perform and a lot of that weight naturally falls onto your flashy players like TenZ and zekken who are expected to frag out
just unfortunate circumstances really

2021 - TenZ, nAts, Boaster
2022 - MaKo, stax, yay
2023 - Zmjjkk, stew, Smoggy

LEV and NRG are good enough teams that even if the EG players underperform a bit it wont be as noticeable or at least the team wont be as disappointed

as for 100T i think Boostio is one of their best players + he's their igl so people wont be disappointed at Boostio but more so the other players who have been in that team for a year now

the thing is that its hard to gauge how good they will perform when they are the only Pacific team that hasnt played in the OFFSEASON

its literally the OpTic core + EG core. two of the best NA teams in the past couple of years

theres a precedence to how good this team can perform and the skill ceiling is HIGH

If he joins a cn team wont he have to learn English or Chinese in order to compete

as far as I know he is only proficient in Korean I could be wrong though

Zest is such a consistent and innovative player
hope he lands on a good team cause what happened to him last year was just really unfortunate

I always wanted to see skuba in a franchised team
after watching OXG this past year I thought he was a really good player worth picking up

ye but i feel like for stew or yoman they wanna qualify to international events and the easiest to get there is thru China with lesser competition

you guys think they will break up as a team getting poached by different orgs or will they stay intact and a franchised org just buys them

fr even if they lose tomorrow against RA they will definitely get picked up by a franchised team.. for vo0kashu it will depend if he plans to stay in CN or go into tier 2 EMEA

fr Zest consistently has good util + can be a clutch player from time to time + midround calls + innovative (his Viper utility this year was so good) + performed one of his best years while being in and out of the bench with minimal practice on the main roster

coaching staff tryna get rid of him is crazy. what did my boy do

Viva is just an overall good flex player
He plays Jett on some maps but I wouldnt call him a duelist player because he flexes to Sova and Viper a lot

they already know that they need to make changes but coaches are too scared to commit.. they kept switching Zest and Foxy9 this year which is why they remained stagnant

he's good if you are better than the enemy team cause his kit allows you to keep taking 1v1s

Vanity's wave is iconic cause most of thr time it ends up biting him back lol

bro said "our" team lmao
