Hate playing because I'm dogshit, but I like watching LoL esport

Jamppi, on stream always answering questions and welcomes and thanks chatters, hyping up team, isn't toxic most of time etc.

its all fun and cool until it isnt but nice to see that they are enjoying it for now

Russia would roll just pick anything between Redgar, nAts, Sheydos, Chronicle, Jady, purp0, Cloud, Suygetsu, Shao, Trexx etc

but Finland has chances of doing well as well: Derke, Jamppi, Hoody, Bonecold, Iluri/H1ber/someone else
Sweden and Lithuania would be my darkhorses with Finland.

cool picture

Yeah his fragging is quite concerning. G2 has insane individuals, but putting up 10 kills in BO3 (2-0) against team like BIG who isn't the best is pretty bad. Hard to judge his calling/IGLing yet because he has been there for short time.

common minte W

would be kinda cool ngl even as someone who doesn't play Valorant much

I mean yeah that is possibility, but I believe pretty strongly that they will make it. And if they didn't make it I feel like this team would almost certainly be picked up as whole unless they perform badly in Champions. Like people talk about M3C picked up as whole, but FPX Stage 1 EMEA winner, Masters 2 winner and now going to Champions.

No hate towards teams, but Sentinel and 100T fans are most delusional and majority of them don't know what they are talking about. The normie teams.

yeah but he is on FPX like Shao and aren't going anywhere

no

Realistically you would need to make a mixture of nAts, Sheydos, Redgar, Chronicle, Cloud, 7ssk7 and Jady.
Redgar would be must for IGL
nAts would be must for sentinel
but rest is kind of hard. I guess it would have to be nAts, Redgar, Sheydos, Chronicle and 7ssk7, but Cloud is insane as well. And Jady with some time could be really good as well.

NiKo or Twistzz IMO

all time Messi

Duelist:
Jingg - no need for explanation
zekken - did really well in Masters 2 and not the most stacked group(could be wrong)

Initiators:
soulcas - has been in pretty good form this year and I do believe in TL success
Ardiis - was beast last LAN (outside of last 2-3 games) and is in relatively easy group

Controllers:
mindfreak - had great Masters 2 and I believe in PRX
AYRIN - had to pick because cheap, but again I think XSET have decent chance at making it out of groups

Sentinel:
dimasick - kinda had to pick for price, but I think he could pop off in Champions and do believe in TL
stellar - cheap and had decent games in LCQ.

Reminder

Obviously some time has passed already, but when he got unbanned he got offers/talks from teams like Heroic and assumably G2. Like if he now went back and grinded the game for some time he would have pretty decent chance at getting offers from tier 1 teams. He was promising prodigy when his VAC situation became known, but never got the chance to prove his skills in good team. ENCE time was whatever because he was playing off role and ENCE was shit anyway. And now with his time in Liquid he has grown as player and teammate and gotten experience even if it is different game. Also I would imagine his rifling being bit better nowadays as well.

and I understand your point with many teams not in need of AWP player and not that many international teams, but still and maybe team like Fnatic could try to rebuild?

Chamber currently 100%. I feel exact same as you. The fact that you can stand in off angle and just kill someone and TP back to safety is so fucking bad. At least with Jett you had to be in line of sight to positions to escape and couldn't make it far. Also the ult felt more high skill than Chamber ultra fast OP with slowing effect. And as you said there are so many players who have only played Chamber when they have made their name and have no idea how they would perform if Chamber was nerfed.

and in normal games its reyna/jett/chamber instalocks who can't do anything with them

Consistency is literally what separates actually good from worse. He was arguably best/2nd best Chamber in Masters 2 until FPX's final 2-3 games where he wasn't putting up as good of numbers but he didn't even have to.

Same situation as with player like Sayf. People still don't talk about him that much even tho he put up best Chamber stats in Masters 2 and even EMEA LCQ just because he isn't super flashy. Its like in CSGO(if you know) where you have flashy players like s1mple, and then you have players like device who was way more passive/boring and didn't have as many flashy moments. Both are insane and top 2 in their roles during peak form, but both play really different style.

Also in Ardiis case add the fact that he played good Jett and KayO as well.

Good to see many EMEA players. Feel like EMEA players got hard screwed last "top 10 players" list. The underrating of certain individuals like Suygetsu was crazy.

PRX will get grouped

LEC production bestest Really hope we will see similar level on EMEA league at some point but doubt it sadly

cheap tickets, relatively small crowd so it isn't surprising why they sold out so quick. That usually happens even with bigger events.

$40 million

Carlos could build team with best players in each role and still wouldn't win anything in any game

I only upvote myself if I got downvoted for no reason or by known baiter

but overall I don't upvote or downvote that often

But the problem with this type of ideas is the roles. Mistic plays flex aka flash agents. Bringing in nAts as flex player wouldn't make any sense, so then someone else would have to take Mistic's role.

It would be really good on paper, but how would the roles work? They don't have proper sentinel player because Trexx and Sayf kind of share that, but with current meta Sayf is playing Chamber and Jett, while Trexx is playing Raze entry or flex depending on comp and 5th player. So if nAts joins then that means Trexx should play Russ' roles, but then again they would be missing Raze entry.

Why? They already have Alfajer.

That is soo sad, but understandable. Everything comes to an end I guess

Phoenix underrated. I disliked it at first, but when listening more I started appreciating it.

Yeah they are good too, but IMO top Worlds songs are still better. The music videos are really cool tho love Awaken music video its so good.

Warriors and Rise are so good IMO because not only do they sound good and unique (music video also top tier), but also make you want to be a pro. They have that hype grind factor that some songs miss. Like every time I hear "prove yourself and rise... make em rememeber you" it makes me want to grind.

True, music video definitely way better but song wasn't as good. But its hard with Riot because they set so high standards with Rise (LoL) and Die For You as first Valorant song that it is really hard to pass. I'm always bit disappointed with new Worlds song as well.

True for minte at least. Overall positive and no baits. Dokka was good as well.

Finland:
Derke - duelist (Raze, Jett - can also play Chamber on some maps)
Jamppi - Chamber/Sentinel (Champer, Killjoy - can also play Jett, Omen, Sova on some maps)
hoody - flex/flashes (KayO, Skye, Breach, Sage - can also play Sova on some maps)
BONECOLD - smokers and IGL (Omen, Brimstone, Viper(?) - can also play initiators)
Iluri - initiator (Sova, Breach, Fade(?) - also was IGL for Fokus IIRC)

you could also bring H1ber in as duelist/entry, Derke Chamber and Jamppi initiator and kick Iluri out, but IMO this current is more well rounded.

Coach: KUNDIKUNDI(BIG)

really flexible roster with nice firepower from Derke, Jamppi and hoody trio. And a lot of experience.

but outside of that Russia and USA would be strongest on paper and Lithuania and Sweden would be my dark horses with Finland.

Grats to Wenzo and Wistic

Most enjoyed LAN event: Champions 2021
Favorite team: No favorite team because support all EMEA teams, but maybe Team Liquid for personalities and vibe
Favorite Player: Jamppi

I wouldn't really suggest because its like cancer that you love and hate at same time, but Destiny 2 is my most played game outside of CS. Also milsim games like Squad and Hell Let Loose are really fun IMO.

European crowd either Poland or something so many can travel there easy or French etc. Best crowds hands down. Obviously I don't know about Valorant because it doesn't have similar culture.

starxo(ACE), naxy(TL B), NagZ(KRU), TenZ(SEN), Boaster(FNC), Sacy(LOUD), Mimi(G2 G), Mel(C9W), Benkai(PRX), Stax(DRX), Laz(ZETA)

it is similar to death match

Yes? I don't even play Valorant almost at all. I just know that current Valorant DM is hot garbage and increasing the kills to 100 would improve it. While this mode sounds so bad and dumb in my head. Like what is even the point? People smoking areas so you can't see anyone, spamming flashes to your face, using prawlers, boombots etc. Like how is that fun in DM first to 100 kills setting?

edit: if its team vs team like Team Deatmatch in CoD then I can understand I thought that it was free for all

Maybe, but I'm telling you first year will be filled with mediocre teams that were only built to gather fanbase. Like the rumors of KOI wanting to sign Mixwell, Koldamenta and Lucas Rojo. Just rumors and may be complete false, but I doubt it. Same with team like Vitality likely wanting to keep at least 1 French even if that lowered the skill cap. They sign mediocre players just because of nationality while actual good talent gets swiped to tier 2. This is especially the case in EMEA because Riot wants that different teams/orgs represent different area and countries in Europe.

Many LoL Worlds songs highlight the year before tho. And IMO it would be kinda fucked if there wasn't anything about Acend but then someone like Tenz makes it even tho he hasn't done anything for months outside of clout.

Why I feel like franchising will completely fuck EMEA. Like KOI likely trying to build mostly Spanish team that will suck ass anyway and take spot from tier 1. Same with Vitality having to keep at least 1 French player etc. Will just make teams worse just so they are more marketable for certain area.

But why? Just add normal DM with 100 kills. I guess it good to practice against flying Jetts and Razes but outside of that why would anyone play this?

It might be Zyppan, but I doubt Redgar. He doesn't have blond hair. But then again they started working on this months ago, so why would they pick Zyppan out of any? Idk

Considering that Acend won last Champions it would be weird from Riot to not include at least 1 of them. Obviously we could see more faces in the music video, but I think it remind me a lot of starxo. Thinking about it the first guy might be Zyppan actually.
