I had high hopes for them, but its gone down during this season of VCT. Also looking back how Guild performed at times and how they were pretty slow at improving last year. Hard to say whats wrong inside of KOI, but I would want to see them maybe making chances to IGL/coach position. Guild/KOI were pretty decent at anti-stratting enemy teams at times like vs OpTic in Copenhagen, but outside of that its bit questionable still.
NA had their entire scene (-Liquid) switching and still as atrocious. But you are proving the point tho. Chaos' core are killing it in Americas right now.
s1mple is Immortal 3 and doesnt even play the game
True if CS wasnt as big in Europe as it is rn EU would dominate Valorant
I legit think its because he is good on anything he plays. He clears starxo on like every role so they put him on agents starxo or sheydos can't play to decent level.
Unironically same at times at least but FNS' aim is still better than like any non-pro's on this site
My Vitality noo I don't think they really fell off that much outside of when facing both of the Turkish teams. They looked so bad and off vs FUT and BBL but looked decent/good vs others like they went 10-13 twice vs NaVi, and OT and 8-13 vs Fnatic, beat Liquid, close 1-2 game vs Giants etc.
Fnatic vs NaVi
Could be Fnatic vs LOUD as well but Fnatic would have 3-0d them in LockIn if they didn't start choking
Guy pulling results from Red Bull Homegrounds haha
Used to drink sodas every day but now drinking water mainly and prefer sugarfree cola etc if I drink sodas. Been drinking quite a lot of energy drinks lately tho so that's kind of bad, but still way better than what it was 1 year ago and soda only pretty much.
Same reason why I'm only going to watch LOUD vs C9 when it comes to America
Some think that having dominant team or two means that rest of the region is weak. That's how it has always been in EMEA. Fnatic and FPX owned EMEA last year, but did that make teams like Guild, Liquid, G2(fluke), M3C weak globally? No it didn't they were still Masters playoffs level teams. While NA outside of OpTic and at times XSET/The Guard were just beating each other left and right and did that make the region stronger than EMEA? No it didn't. Having bunch of B tier teams beating each other doesn't mean shit when they have to face those S tier teams. Top half EMEA teams last year and before were way more consistent regionally compared to NA for example while teams like LOUD were just farming their weaker regions.
Fnatic didn't lose a single map in Lock In only dropping 2 after going 2-0 up in the finals(winning vs LOUD Ascent as well). You really think this team wouldn't be undeafeated in any region when even LOUD managed to do that until last game?
Fnatic is the best team before proven otherwise while NaVi would be competitive and possibly even favored in some against LOUD, C9 and NRG. Any Americas team outside of those 3 are completely beatable by other top half EMEA teams. Teams like Giants, Liquid etc wouldn't be underdogs vs EG, 100T, FURIA type teams.
quickly if we talk about tier 2:
Monsteerr - sentinel
Mistic - controller
Enzo - initiator/IGL
wo0t - flex
Famsii - duelist (flag checks out, theres other players you could pick)
if you instapick Reyna then show you are good enough and carry or lose
I always throw if I get Reyna instalock
QutionerX isnt a newcomer he was playing in VCT last year.
Derke has been top 3 duelist for last 2 years what?
True, but you were able to message supports on discord if you wanted to change name. Likely still working.
When have they looked great on paper? Mixwell likely had the best 2022 out of any of the 5 players.
BLG didnt look super convincing vs GG, ofc it was only playins. While even tho G2 and MAD got kinda turbo fisted they still had somewhat competitive maps vs GenG and T1
Elyoya is really good tho and MAD threw game 1 hard. Got fucked game 2 and 3 tho. And I think MAD or G2 would have chance vs BLG. But true that there's a gap. Especially EU mids have been gapped hard.
Why you mention Leaf as someone whos been close of winning anything? Both him and Sayf have achieved around same
Just bought DW-5600BB for army mainly but bought this specifically because I thought it looked really good and can easily use casually as well. Only downside is that it has negative display so its kind of hard to read especially if there's low light, but it has light so should be fine, negative display better looking anyway. Really slick looking and has nice basic features ofc aka stop watch, timer and alarm. Cost like 70€ on sale.
Usually nothing but rye bread with boiled eggs. Healthy, tastes good, fills you ok, affordable and easy to make. Rye bread with anything is the best tbh for those reasons.
These rejects have achieved more than anyone on M80
Leo was one of the best Astras in EMEA when he played it only behind like Avova
Sayf has played like every role out there he is just duelist now
No way he would come to EMEA because he is from far east Russia
MrFalin is FUT's IGL and SouchNi is BBL's IGL so likely some of the best from Turkey. SouchNi is obviously bit newer addition to BBL and I don't think how big of a difference he is making honestly, but some EMEA coaches were hyping him up on Twitter before he joined. But overall would say MrFalin because he led FUT to tier 2 EMEA victory and FUT has done pretty well in VCT. He also has decent fragging power for an IGL.
They are definitely worth it if you play games often. Just get Deathadder V3 if you have the money. Best mouse I've had and should be similar shape to you. Also I would just recommend getting used to lighter mouse because most mice are like that nowadays and will likely go even lighter in the future and that will limit your options.
Controller is the most common role among EMEA IGLs so not surprising. Like where NA sentinels are at?
Should be like in LoL. Teams change players pretty quick if rosters aren't working. Sucks that you have teams who trolled their initial roster and will be shit for rest of year. Makes it really unfun, especially teams who are literally playing with their coaches. Like even if they signed proper 6th it would still be bad system because no good players wants to sit on bench as 6th.
So sad. TL vs NaVi could have actually been a banger and would have shown what Liquid's level is.
I don't know, but before TSM he was also on bonk and Fire Flux(? at least rumored) if I'm not wrong. So not like he instantly went from M3C to TSM.
Even tho I wasn't biggest Nivera fan on Liquid he and Scream make really strong duo when they are feeling it. Both could easily play on top franchising teams. Sh1n has been solid as well even though he has struggled bit on some games but can't really blame him, overall nice mechanics and util usage. I'm not huge on XMS because he seems really on and off. Pretty good highs but also really low lows.
But overall I still think they are griefing themselves with full French speaking roster. They are too reliant on finding French talent from pretty small pool. Scream, Nivera, maybe Sh1n + 2/3 players from some T2 teams could be really good.
I mean Valorant isn't super mechanics demanding game and high ranked players can get kills vs tier 1 pros. And can add a lot of value if they can call and have at least decent utility usage.
Depends what weapons you use. I for example wouldn't spend money on OP because I rarely play it. So personally I would go for Arcade Phantom and BP but Reaver Phantom is nice as well and if you play OP then thats likely better option.
