val skin system has always been dumb. all good gun skins costing ~$20 each and all needing upgrades. knife skins cost $30-50 and bundles costing 70+ with this recent one costing 120. its never been worthwhile since you cant trade or sell so its just expensive for no reason. thats definitely one thing csgo does a little better than val

and depending on how kyedaes condition progresses, it's probably best that he takes a break to focus on that. they've done a pretty good job with "keeping" SicK on sentinels, i'm sure they'll do tenz right with all this. sen is looking too good with marved also so its just a no brainer atp

hopefully he flies back for next week if not gg

kyedays chemo seems to be affecting her more and more these days, it honestly would be a fair choice if he stepped down so they can focus on that together. pros scrim for like 6-8 hrs a day and have matches every week, im sure with kyedae's condition, they'd want more time together

theres a chance tenz still doesnt feel better by next week or he still has a lot going on and they'll keep marved playing longer if he wants to. they have been looking way too good with marved and everyone on their comfort roles. they could even do a 6 man roster maybe with tenz playing on the maps they have jett since i think his awping is stronger than zekken?

i mean in terms of looks, pANcada and tenz and now Marved? rather handsome team no? and bald man sacy. idk about other regions just talking americas mostly

yeah with the way kru, eg, 100t are playing and if they win the rest out, i think they qual?

edit: i also think they look better than c9 possibly and i dont think c9 will win out against most of the br/latam teams or nrg

pretty good in terms that they seem to play more together and their executes/retakes look cleaner

i feel like dephh has always been a good caller and it was clear on xset
i just think their role issues made it hard for the calls to work and now that most are playing their comfort roles they look much better

definitely a possibility with kaplan as head coach and if the team gets more comfy w sacy
hype to see sacy on initiator and zekken on duelist hes been insane

somehow tenz not playing will actually make viewership be more insane today

they can't even replace him though since theres no transfer window for adding/dropping players this season. the best they can do is let marved play whenever he can. unlucky really all this stuff that happens all at once

sacy would be a good igl but i still think the lang barrier would be hard to get thru. even tho his english is pretty good, calling is a lot of talking maybe worth a shot to have him do some calls rn while dephh is still there

after all the sen games people just say drop whoever, but they literally cant? theres no transfer window for vct. all they could really do sub in marved but he doesnt have his visa yet. just gotta cope w the bad plays and overheats and hope that zekken the goat carries harder

lets just all agree zekken is the most goated player there

agreed bro, ofc sentinels is clouted thats why they get so many impressions whether or not they win or lose.
doesn't really matter too much how they perform since theres no transfer window for adding/removing players so they just gotta ride the season out as is

all im sayin is there are plenty of pros across all regions and teams that dont perform every single game and they're still on the roster.
its just a game so just support ur team brotha

so when crashies dropped 17 kills across two maps against lev he should retire too?
bro has played 3 series all year and is still richer than all of us who cares

so good to see him poppin off after lock//in
tekkenz is going feral

i ain redin alat

and most of the time if you're working with a bonds agency, you only need to post 10% of the bail

yeah why does it look like that? the other ones remained the same tho. weird

edit: logo looks like hot ass. pacific got the best one

he's had val streamers and val pros during his watch parties tho?

LOUD 3-1 FNC

FNC 3-2 NAVI

yay become the best player during the chamber meta, before that he was mostly playing jett only. so it only makes sense that he's not really fitting in with c9 because theres no more chamber and they already have other people who can play duelist (and yay cant play raze, but xeppaa/zellsis can). hes still an insane player, but no one really needs another duelist rn.

every single series today was 26-15
who's writing the script

SEN/100T 3-1 NAVI NA COPIUM

he is xepapa

G2-1 copium not really i dont even like the team

g2 2-0 faze only cuz who tf knows what faze's roster is rn and poised had an arm injury

NA vs NA
USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA
GUNS AND BEER AND LARGE PEOPLE AND EXPENSIVE HOSPITAL VISITS

banger match for sure. sad that one of them will have to go home after one bo3.
sen 2-1 hopium. sacy pancada home turf buff

zekken diffs entire TSM roster

yeah he's a good initiator. he might've been good while they were trialing, but i guess we'll see

fifth has been rumored to be effys from v1

loud beat optic in UF at masters 1. they cursed themselves gg optic win champs

OPTIC 3-1 XSET NA BEST REGION AYAYA
OPTIC 3-1 FPX NA STILL BEST REGION BATCHEST
OPTIC 3-0 LOUD HAHAHAHA WE COME BACK NA

SEN 3-1 TBD

sen 2-1 faze copium
sen 2-1 100t copium

edit: damn nvm sadge ggs tho

oh yeah i was thinking this too but forgot to add. this for sure secures their spot in franchising. even tho i feel like their popularity secures their franchising spot anyways bc they bring so much viewership

It's definitely possible that shroud and zellsis will be competing in LCQ on the active roster (in place of sick and kanpeki) but I can't help but feel like at least one of them are sen's new analyst that they were trying to find. shroud is a really good player and all but he hasn't competed or even played that much valorant over these past two years. zellsis, on the other hand, sounds pretty realistic in place of kanpeki if that is the case. idk what the situation is with sick but he's just too good of a player for sen to have shroud in his place instead. it's also possible these are temporary loans or something for lcq like they said but who knows

nrg revenge arc?

LG 2-1 faze

aged well. gg faze get cursed

battle of the bums

c9 and faze also have to lose their next matches against whoever their playing

sen needs this win and the one against c9 to qual. assuming that c9 lose against lg as well. sen hopium

maybe it's all they could find on short notice that would be willing to play. i doubt dani was their first choice if they really wanted to win this.

optic is just looking too good rn. should be a clean optic 2-0. it could be 2-1 if sen plays better. still copium for sen tho
