Sliggy(ex Liquid coach) used to get flamed bunch of times because of Liquid's comps. And I've seen people blaming Mini as well for Fnatic's failures.
true bad timing from Riot. Should have ended yesterday
They performed better than what I expected
Just shows that you don't know anything about EMEA. Last year your point would have made complete sense, but this year its the opposite. Avova went from being best controller in EU to being mediocre this year. Zeek went from Champions MVP to being super inconsistent and pretty mid. Keloqz tier 2 player most of this year. Mixwell isn't amazing individual just decent. Like you talk like if it was 2021...
Dude I think it was pretty good from Heretics. 2nd place and relatively close 1-3 vs good team that has been together for long. Heretics have practiced for like a week only. And Heretics isn't top 5 team. People who think that haven't followed EMEA and still think these players are on their peak.
I wouldn't say easily at all. Like you can talk about Zeek or Mixwell, but Vitality has Molsi and Twisten who are pretty comparable to Zeek(if not better this year). And Giants has the trio of nukkye, Cloud and hoody that on paper are stronger than Heretic's "carry" players. And you have wildcards like ceNder on VIT and Fit1nho on Giants who are likely pretty same level as keloqz. I would call both of those rosters stronger on paper +NaVi, Fnatic, TL and KOI. Heretics could break into top 5, but I wouldn't call it easy or something I would predict. But who knows its too early to tell anyway and anything can happen.
He has been playing well so far and I like the role change.
When he was with G2. At least on Ascent but didn't play on other maps IIRC because Chamber busted and Mixwell's Jett was meh.
Yeah but that is how it works in Valorant most of the time as well (Chambers, Jetts). I agree that AWP is too good right now, but also need to remember that the mindgames and mechanical outplay aspects become even more important when both teams have 1 player with this weapon. Also a lot of times AWP is the duty that is given to best mechanical player in the team because its more expensive investment than rifles.
*if you talk about pro play
Good change. AWP is too strong in CSGO. Now Riot should nerf Chamber ultimate.
Troll comp but they also looked bit scared so would have lost anyway I think
Boo is usually decent fragging IGL though. He had bad game here, but my point is that he doesn't have to carry this game individually. He performed better than keloqz and Avova (thx to Ace tbh) and close to other TH guys. For me keloqz has been the only slight dissapointment/concern so far.
Yeah in the past, but its been a while and the game has changed. They might have some chemistry built up but talking about strats, roles and stuff like that. I think some of their stuff is already looking pretty good considering that they have only practiced for like 6 days together according to their coach. But its clear that they are relying a lot on individuals at this point in time. Secret has been together for long in comparison.
Most of their players are just inconsistent. I think so far keloqz has been bit dissapointing I have to admit. Boo is IGL so his fragging isn't super important. Just individually, not talking about them in Heretics because its just 3rd BO1 in a row. Just their time before Heretics this year.
I mean its not bad. New team with minimal amount of prep or strats. Relying a lot on individuals for first games. I agree that they are in like bottom 4 EMEA in my head. But this is good learning experience.
I want Heretics to win ofc but I think its good for them to lose as well. They are still new team with only like week practice so losing teaches them and its also good learning moment for team mental. Tournaments like this are all about learning experience.
Heretics seem to have no idea where TS players could be and just push areas without expecting enemies there. Like Secrets Omen TPs to A Haven and even though there was 2 Heretics guys in CT they didnt hear it or expect it. Mixwell and Avova just walking to positions with no info.
I used to only play like 1 or 2 unrated in month or something before. Nowadays I play more because I got more into it.
that is true as well, but holy Superdome and this has been full of delays
What is it with Valorant and 3rd party tournaments? Like at this point it has to be the game right?
If he could only keep up this form he would be so fucking good... sadly feels like he had a lot of inconsistency issues this year.
I wouldn't call TH top 5 EMEA yet. NaVi, TL, Fnatic, KOI, GIA, even VIT are all in contention for top 5 in my head, but ofc their potential is high if the players are having good form.
Mixwell good when he doesn't have to be the star. I think he will do fine as support player. Brings a lot of experience.
True lol I just woke up when this game was about to start, but managed to get up, take a good shower, eat something, make my bed and still made it in time
I think this duo and esp Pavlos has a lot of potential. Really like Pavlovs voice and he is pretty hype.
im from canada and my favourite team is C9
Lethal Gaming Gear Saturn
and Xtrfy GP4 if you like some decent designs (graffiti style)
I have always played with short sleeve but had to switch to long sleeves lately due to it being cold and my arms being cold. Overall its better because my hands get warmer and I can instantly notice better performance because of that. Overall I like short sleeves more because sometimes my sleeve hits the edge of desk/or and mousepad so it can cause some issues. So overall prefer to play with short sleeve, but long sleeve adds warmth but can cause small problems. Also I really dislike wearing any other shirt than t-shirt while home.
close range phantom more satisfying but vandal takes the win long range
yeah I thought it was just some team bonding thing but no they are there for a tourney.... legit no info or marketing anywhere
Yeah its pretty bad like I had no idea this was happening. Only saw Heretics players flying to India, nothing more. Overall all these off season tournaments seem to be really lacking with info.
Chinese and Philipinne imports > American import
sad really
Yeah if these teams keep performing like this its easy G2 vs C9 final.
true G2 looked a lot of better than these 2 teams
I like Mary as name. It comes from her real name and is short and sounds good.
what is the name of the event do you know?
