idk can you call Scream duelist when he never plays Jett or Raze

Jamppi's Jett is pretty bad and he works way better as flex player. Like tell me what is ScreaM's role in this team? Skye one trick? His Skye seems pretty mediocre. Reyna one trick? Reyna is irrelevant agent. Kay/O one trick? His Kay/O wasn't anything amazing either. He only has his aim, but can't play useful agents.

if ScreaM was able to play good Jett (or was willing to/was let to) there wouldn't be any problems. Jett is way more useful than ScreaM's classic Reyna.

If you truly think Jamppi is the problem then I don't know what to say. Flag checks or not. He's been so important for TL due to his flexibility while putting up good stats pretty consistently if you don't count in his Jett performances. Without Jamppi TL would have never made it this far. He pretty much had to change roles because ScreaM wasn't able to flex.

I just think he is holding this team down. People always talk about players like Jamppi and Soulcas, but ScreaM's heropool is pretty dogshit considering that they never play him on Jett so maybe he doesn't want to play it and seems like he put a lot of time in Skye, but even that looks pretty mediocre.

This may sound crazy, but I truly think if TL replaced ScreaM with someone like purp0 they would eventually become better.
L1NK is good controller player, Jamppi is super flexible and can frag, Soulcas may not be the best but he has good Raze, Kay/O and Skye, Nivera is talented player, while ScreaM just feels useless when he can't other duelists than Reyna or at least he isn't willing to. Also his Skye just looks mediocre.

Its not surprise when they keep changing comps all the time, like how are they supposed to have good plan when they prep for one for week and then change to completely other comp

Yeah.. they have good players, but keep changing these weird comps every week...

Shao has always been insane, just stuck in FPX and shitty roles

PlatChat member and also does analyst/casting stuff in NA VCT (but he is British and EMEA simp)

Tbh I think Bonecold is pretty good IGL, but that had quite a big impact on his individual performance. He was actually good fragger when Koldamenta was the IGL of Acend. So maybe if he retuned as non-IGL controller or initiator player he could start putting up numbers.

took that from Sideshow lol

Depends on what FPX or TL shows today. But I would say they are getting out 80-20. Guild could also be threat if they are having great game and great prep since they already played against M3C and Koldamenta is god prepper.

This happens just when Astra became off meta??

"He may be the worst Jett of group D" (Leaf, Buzz, JohnOlsen)

good play from Braveaf tho pretty much their new addition saved them the game

Tactics: Vanity
Fragging + Impact: Zander

There's chance we will see Neon, but no Jett lol

brazil and india

??????? clear bait or just dumb

New headphones don't help anything if there's like 5 sec audio delay on stream

WTF

np its fracture you never know who defends and who attacks

true, but it was 5v5 retake so its hard unless you use bunch of ultis. That doesn't happen often, so they can just defend without ultis most of times.

that was so good

Fnatic hasn't played Fracture since forever

80k peak on main stream. Didn't GMB vs TL first? match of Challengers peak at like 100k on main stream, so I don't think this will be higher. FNC is popular, but not as popular as TL I think.

true

makes you feel like a badass ngl

damn this game is going to be insane.
Derke vs D3ffo (2 insane Jetts who can also play Raze and are well set by the teams)
Boaster vs Redgar (2 insane IGLs who also play support flashes for their team on some maps like Skye on Bind, Kay/O on Ascent)
and overall fight for that #1 EMEA spot

No lyrics, but The Batman's theme has been stuck in my head for couple days

Interesting match no matter what. Its so up in the air. M3C most likely bans Haven, FNC most likely bans Breeze, but then rest of maps are open. FNC is most likely going to pick Icebox, but who knows after new meta. We could see any out of Icebox, Split, Fracture, Ascent, Bind.

I so hope we will se Ascent. Imagine Redgar and Boaster 2 top EU IGLs going against each other as more support Kay/Os. I would be crazy! Banger match no matter what!

He will definitely make positive difference, but how far will that take? Because they need a lot. And I don't think having a lot of experience in tac fps genre or being IGL is that big of a thing. Yes it helps and makes difference, but just look at someone like Engh (Gambit) who was tier 2-3 support player in Overwatch and now he is arguably the best coach in Valorant. And yes that definitely helped him as person and now coach, but you get the idea. Most top coaches kind of came out of nowhere, from similar places as most coaches even in tier 2.

And most of the times when something similar has happened like HenryG to C9 (CSGO), Moses to TL (CSGO), Jatt to TL (LoL) aka personality/caster/analyst turning into a coach or GM it hasn't worked. And obviously it doesn't mean this won't, but I've seen this many times before.

Cool and good signings, but I think some people are overhyping this a little bit too much. Its great to have known names as coaching staff for attracting new players, but how good someone like Seangares is as a coach? Yes he has experience playing professionally and he's been involved in Valorant esports, but how much he actually differs from some tier 2 coach or any tier 1 outside of experience? He most likely isn't going to be some god's gift to NA Valorant. But who knows, hopefully they can make it work!

Omen isn't bad on new Icebox, there are even teams who replaced Viper with Omen. Its just that he doesn't have much experience playing it yet.

Let's see. Feels like Jamppi has always struggled as Jett on Haven (obv it was long time ago). He seemed good on Chamber...

I'm so happy to see how much Meddo has improved in G2. He went from Killjoy-Cypher one trick and bad fragging to Killjoy, Cypher, Breach, Viper player who frags quite a lot and is clutch. Its great to see and hopefully he can continue performing!

Its not surprising. He is literally playing Omen on Icebox for first time. He doesn't usually play Omen and Omen hasn't been meta in Icebox before really.

ofc NA player is defending NA.

I think he is fine on Chamber, but I don't know about Jett still

Go to Google Translator switch the language to Lithuania, type nukkye and press "listen".

oh nvm Google doesn't have Lithuania voice kekw

I mean it wasn't bad. 4v2 is still losable and he confirmed easy kill with ulti. When you think that Avova ended up winning that round 1v4.

Avova ninja again holyy tbh TL should know he would stick after last G2 games lol

he doesn't ult because he would reveal his position its pretty simple also hitting ult that close is hard anyway

Maybe not, but NaVi is looking good. They just need some depth and they could be contender team IMO.

True I'm just talking about chat and viewers.

nah the system is just broken

M3C is like EU Sentinels sadly when it comes to viewers and chat.

Yeah I didn't really understand this take from Shahzam...
