the only team that can beat sen is sen

(they have no strats and destroyed themselves because of it)

no navi just suck now

we need new coaching staff

i was casting that game

goated art1st (minte went 2-13)

another day another thread about 2022 reykjavik

watching matches because they're interesting ❌
watching matches only for the good casters ✅

bren and sideshow + pansy and hypoc goated
pavlos and ender are pretty good actually i like them
achillios is goated but he needs a new partner
doug has some good and very memorable lines (tenz's world anyone?) but needs a new 2nd as well

everyone else is kinda zzz

i thought sacy debunked that on stream

f0rsaken first ever LAN crowd ace vs optic in copenhagen

no mindfreak raze god

was dephh any good in cs? i never followed his career

very very cold take

pearl probably still an americas team (fnc haven't played it yet so we'll see)

just put mako for every event except tokyo tbh

bro missed the entire point of this post

this is a known fact idk why people think s0m is better
he's good yes but mako has been the best controller in the world for 3 years running

americas

• saadhak, + sacy

emea

• literally anyone from old fpx (criminal how none of them are on there, shao/suygetsu deserve a spot at least)

pacific

• sScary

i read somewhere that sacy said on stream he and pancada won't be leaving sen until their contracts end in 2024

i'm actually shocked how malaysia has produced only one standout player in the entirety of valorant

sScary is 2nd best controller in APAC
that's a fact

imagine PRX with sScary dude
i love mindfreak but sScary is just better

ange1 catching strays lmfao

they physically can't make roster changes until after lcq/champs

kr 2-0
th 2-1

dude, haven't you heard? the pros are gonna get embarrassed at this event

lowkey he's pretty good, the improvements secret has made with him are pretty impressive

kr > chile
thailand > uk

bro is talking to himself 😭😭

spell his name right at least bro

i don't have any good pickems but my tokyo playoffs pickem had 1 prediction right in total

name checks out

crashies has been consistently fragging for 3 years on this core

100t lost to an assistant coach knife

sen getting eliminated in first game

😂
sorry 100t sucks they already beat them with dephh

i feel like if they drop pancada sacy has to go as well, and no way in hell is sen letting them go

tenz will have to see, he had a very unlucky season, lcq will show whether he deserves his spot or not (tho tbh in the last couple games where he was ok he was not doing terrible)

you can say that about any region

no, same number of slots

ascension teams don't play in lcq

fair, i think rb is still better than those 4 (foxy, texture, sylvan, meteor), at the very least better than foxy and meteor

this ascension is shaping up to be probably the closest one out of the 3 leagues which is honestly pretty hype

we almost had a scenario where all 5 teams in alpha went 2-2

there's no way you think sylvan, t3xture, foxy9 are better than him
you didn't even put him in honorable mentions bro

i think after tokyo we can all agree for the most part lock//in results mean nothing at this point

teams were all new
eg 9-16th lock in, 2nd tokyo
prx 1st rounded lock in, 3rd tokyo
liquid/edg first rounded lock in, 5-6th
navi 3-4th lockin, winless in tokyo

etc...

fnc is just fnc, can't argue with that
liquid choked 12-7 lead and got smoked map 3
fnc > americas > emea

i dislike fnc cause i wanna see new winners
21/22 at least new winner every event (even if i was watching optc vs loud every other game last year)

yay
finesse
marved
victor
crashies

i think this roster would have a pretty good chance

there will be 2 league splits next year

threw that one away already, you changed to a sentinels flair

inexperienced ≠ bad

look at how jakee and runi did on c9
or alfajer on fnc when he was picked up last year
or something on prx
the list goes on

closest team to winning

they've played 2 games dude

riot would probably just let the full roster ascend though

dubstep is on the list already bro

shaz?????? that's gotta be racist somehow

the difference tho is that prx is already proven - the core was 4th/2nd at masters last year, hell this current version got a podium placement WITHOUT him, so he knows if he's there they have a shot

what has koi proven? what has giants proven?

nothing to do with me being an "overdefending prx fan", i just don't see the reasoning behind your argument
region's success ≠ every team's success
a similar comparison: would ardiis or s0m leave NRG for koi? would mako leave DRX for giants (language barrier aside)? would kk leave EDG for these teams? if the answer is no, idk why you would think smth would do the same

lol mb, my parents are from sg but i grew up in america so i use american flag
