Yes, regardless of past experience, Zekken is comfortable with being hard entry like Jawg or Oxy so even if he didn't play it, I feel like it'd be an easy pickup. As for Zellsis, he was lowkey going crazy in LCQ with it.

Zekken has a good neon and Zellsis lowkey has a really good Neon too.
he's definitely been hungry with how he's looked recently LOL
It can't happen. You can't have FNS and Potter on the same team. Too OP.
If I remember correctly it came from back when he was playing Quake. He tried to get the name Demon but it was taken so he added a 1 to it. I might be wrong tho!
not sure about his actual name but the El Diablo comes from an inside joke that started within the old Envy, TSM, and NRG guys.
Tenz - he played COD when he was a kid, his name was ZZZZZombieZZZZZ (with 10 zs), that was changed to ten z zombie and then to Tenz (ten Z).
Shahzam - his real name is Shahzeb. When he was in elementary school his favourite teacher drew a picture of him as a superhero called Shahzam. He capitalized the Z and M in his name to troll/mess with DaZeD who he was on a team with at the time (1.6 or source, dont remember). Kept it ever since.
BLG Yosemite - Got his name from the Travis Scott song.
Cned - His older brother's tag was deNc, so it's just that backwards
FPX Autumn - Named himself after Ye Xiu, the MC of The King's Avatar
Hiko - named after a character from an anime called Rurouni Kenshin. Interestingly, Hiko has never seen this anime and only started watching anime a few years ago (despite going by this name for many years in CSGO).
Asuna - when playing CSGO with his friends he came up with the theory that an anime name and picture resulted in playing better. He picked Asuna which is a character from Sword Art Online
He's played him only 5 times. Granted he has good stats but I wouldn't say he's amazing. Def has the potential to be though, if he keeps playing Breach.
hi pookie, can I get special flair for sticking up for you >~<
Liquipedia has a massive amount of workers and volunteers.
Pretty sure VLR is just fan-run or is on way smaller scale.
Probably gonna be Zekken but can't forget that Zellsis's Neon used to be crazy good.
Regardless of the winner, I am so excited to see JohnQT vs FNS. The old IGL style with no aim faces against the new IGLs with good aim. Gonna be a banger for sure.
Loud and then a huge huge gap, they quite literally had the brazilian dream team at one point (2022).
It's a shame that Less and Aspas had beef, because that team would've been terrifying had they had more time.
Is this list relevant to the era they played in? If not all of the teams should be more recent.

Really? I'd say at most 4th behind DRX, GenG and PRX. I'm not too familiar with the team so you might be right.
More than happy to see it, I can never count out potter. The only reason I put them so low is because teams like LOUD and NRG had good offseason moves with Pancada, s0m and FNS.
Forgive me as I'm not as confident with my APAC and Chinese rankings. I'm not too sure about RRQ as they were pretty mid. Adding Monyet is cool but I also don't know where that puts them. Monyet was harassed all of Madrid for not being good enough and then was praised after Jing underperformed. I'm really not sure how big of an impact he can make at RRQ.
And I'm going to be honest chief, anything past 6 on the Chinese rankings is just me pulling things out my cheeks LOL.

Seeing Zekken and Cryo together again might have all the unc's like me crying
Potentially, but I believe they didn't have enough time to develop. A lot of their mistakes were being exposed like Shroud having to plant for example. If they had some more time, I think they could've won LCQ.
ah I just saw the new patch notes, my apologies. That does significantly improve one part of his kit but I am still not convinced he will be viable. You look at the most popular duelists in ranked and in pro play, Jett, Raze, and maybe even Neon. All of them can either entry really well or are able to get in and out safely. Iso doesn't fit either of those categories. Unless Abyss is catered to his character, I don't see this making a huge difference.
I personally don't think so. I mean to go from the unanimous best player in the world to tier 2 and then a whole different region would be a huge mental challenge for anyone. Questions of "Am I still good enough?" and "Was I really even that good?" would eat anyone up. I think if he had the right system, he'd be back in contention. It'd take time but it's just a matter of someone investing in him.
You can make the argument that Bleed invested in him but let's be realistic, they were interested in the clout Yay brings and thought he would instantly change their shit org. They didn't invest in him as a player, more as a number.
Maybe so but it's super situational and the rest of his kit literally doesn't do shit. No flash, mobility, etc. Just a terrible duelist.
If EG can't keep the form they were in towards the end of split 1, I genuinely believe replacing Derrek with Yay is the best move for EG and the y0yster. It's an org and team that doesn't have a lot of big expectations. Potter would genuinely be so good for Yay in terms of mental. He can also have Jawg and Apoth who tend to be the ones who take first fight. This can give him the space he needs to either be a full time sentinel like leaf or to be a late round duelist.
in other words, too many high school boys falling down the nazi pipeline because of twitter lmfao
idk about before, I'm fairly new on here but I would not be surprised to see homophobia. Those who tend to hate tend to be more vocal unfortunately.
bruhmphrey be like:
"wow a competitive tactical shooter forum that is filled with degenerates is homophobic, why?"
brother you might just have a problem with women, not valorant lmfao
of course, it's my mission to help all of the lil bros
if you know where they are, whoever has worst aim baits by jumping and the guy with better aim swings in after that
who cares if it's normal, support the team you want and don't let anyone bash you for it.
Ah I remember Max when he was on my college team. Lil bro could barely aim when I first met him. Showed him a few tricks and he picked them up pretty fast. I knew he was going to be special. I actually had a connection with EG and that's how I got him on the team. Pretty cool guy.
I wouldn't put it all on him, I'd say the coaching has definitely gotten worse
they only hate him because he pissed on every team in 2022
His opinions are good but he tries too hard to be edgy. If he just made his opinions while not being Leafy 2.0 it'd be a lot more enjoyable.
Never understood the unironic boaster hate. It's not like his personality or play style has changed. He was consistently bottom fragging when they were winning as well.
It's probably easy to rack up hate when your team wins 2 back to back though. He did have an ego after that but who wouldn't lmfao.
I'd say the only clear sabotage is GenG players not being able to scrim and getting harassed but that's just me
The only team that you've listed that is interesting is 100T just due to how Boostio has changed their culture.
But aside from that, there is no rivalry, nothing special. It's just teams winning games. Geng is a team that was only relevant this year due to their roster changes in the off-season. There is no history behind them. The only thing I see that holds them out is that they'd win APAC their first trophy. Which is why I'm personally rooting for them.
TH is only on a miracle run if you're dumb and didn't believe they'd make it far.
It's nice to see G2 go on their run since they almost got fucked out of tier 1. The core itself isn't that special imo, yes they've been together for a stupid long time but the only thing that has made me enjoy watching their games are the comebacks they make.
You are misreading what I am saying. You gave me examples of individual team storylines that I would be interested in if I was a fan of any of these teams. I am talking about storylines that affect the entirety of Valorant.
chemistry, the mental fortitude it takes to come back after getting stomped every map 1 can only be found in a team that's been together a while
Leo and Demon1 do no have better primes than Yay in 2022, you are delusional if you genuinely believe that.
Chronicle is a great player, but has not had the impact Yay had on any team or on Valorant in general.
You find me 3 players that were better than Yay in 2022 and I'll give you 20 dollars.
