nice

yes

Sova should be either shao, sacy, or lakia.

Who do y’all watch play valorant. Personally I think dicey and shanks are the most entertaining and the only ones I consistently watch

True, only way acend sticks together guaranteed is if they just keep on winning everything and want to stay together cause they’re so dominant

england is my city

Skye is more versatile being able to gather so much info while having healing, but imo breach feels stronger on maps like bind and split cause he helps you get through choke points easier

bro idk if it’s just a couple bad tourneys for hiko but he’s not fraggin out as much anymore and he sometimes has these boomer reaction time plays that make the chat go “hiko???”. He still has nice clutches and darts tho.

i’m korean american.

First Strike was the undisputed peak of NA valorant, you had 100T being the new super team, TSM as the flashy top 3 team, and SEN with sinatraa who i liked from OW. Also any one of the other tier one teams could beat these top three at any time. Now the old TSM is gone, sinatraa did weird shit, SEN got tenz which kinda ruined the parity of the NA scene, Dicey got benched and 100T still can’t win another tourney, Hiko kinda fell off, and now at twitch chat is full of toxic ppl with the maturity of an 8 year old. The NA scene today is not bad now obv, but it’s not as fun to watch imo.

Acend vs SEN will be legendary if it happens

Netero talks more about tsm than an actual tsm fan lmao

Leo is just as good if not better than yacine

I tried the analysis thing, and realized that i’m gold 1 so i’m better off just posting stuff for people to argue about

some of u guys are getting this wrong, most downfrags should be when nsg said in the masters iceland final that it would be v1 vs sen cause every other region is trash, and then the most upfrags is when someone responded to him, “funny guy”

well well well, look who was right (partially)

Why doesn't he play Reyna, he did pretty good on Reyna on Bind in Iceland

dude it was a joke

Or they should just make an ad-free experience called vlr premium, and change monthly for it.

maybe not better, but thief is playing like a solid T1 player

The new clutch god

zellsis couldn't keep his mouth shut when talking to a tourney official and said something stupid, hence why he is banned

V1 2-1 NV
This match is gonna be close no matter who plays in it

XSET 2-1 GEN.G
SEN isn't here cause they gotta make a classic lower bracket run before winning the whole thing

2-1 V1, they still are top 3 NA, while 100T have looked a little inconsistent

Gambit should win, but this is Navi's best chance to sign a squad who could one day surpass Gambit so they should just sign the NP players after this challengers

Two accounts around level 20 and Gold 1, the second account was supposed to be used to play with my friend in silver 1 but I ended up ranking to gold anyway

Give him time. I think he may be still getting used to the playstyle of jett and how it works with the team.

IMT with Asuna and Dicey (TSM close second)

navi should just sign the roster

maybe bad take, but i feel like there are two ways to change the settings. One is to just reward much less for beating no-name teams and much more for beating high-ranking teams (basically a more extreme version of what we have now). The second option is to have the rankings reset after each stage, basically signaling the start of a new "season" of valorant. This would prevent teams like FaZe from just sitting in the top six after one good tourney run.

thanks for the input.

Title.

Saw some ppl say TSM should pick up sinatraa. I say wait until he is proven innocent or guilty. If guilty, instead of fining him or sending him to jail, force him to go to the utter chaos that is TSM rn. Guarantee that will make him suffer more than any jail sentence ever could.

I mean we'll see after his case if he does really deserve better lmao

I can imagine V1's reaction when they realized they could just get thief to replace zellsis lmao

V1 2-0

Gen.G win here, then SEN goes on a classic NA lower bracket run and wins the whole thing anyways

where does korean val stand in terms of skill in the international scene. personally, as a fan of nuturn, it’s been EU=NA>KR>Rest, with Nuturn, the first or second best team, being able to compete with the likes of V1 and Fnatic. However i see on forums and tik tok ppl still really think BR and others are better and that KR looks like NA radiant ranked (although to be fair tik tok and many ppl in forums are brain dead anyway).

if rise beat c9B, are they tier 1 yet?

I wish there was a way to report someone as a smurf, then have valorant match all the reported smurfs together in ranked, thus making it impossible for them to rank up and preventing them from smurfing again

True, also since we talking ab 100t too, they need to sub in dicey again. he’s their good luck charm

we want Dicey, Dicey may teamflash all his ranked teammates but we want Dicey

Using the word cringe unironically makes you cringe yourself, just use a normal word like embarassing. Also wtf is going on with SEN

Idk man i just hop straight into games (tbf tho im only gold 1 so maybe don't take advice from me)

v1 is a valid flair tbh, most if not all v1 fans are chill

Anyone know if the korean group stage will be streamed, I'm tryna watch some matches before I go to sleep (especially the ones with NU, VS, DWG, and F4Q)

to the moon!

Hot take: These should be considered the only consistently best teams in NA, for now at least. (Based on last stage and current stage)

1. SEN
2. V1
3. NV
4. C9B
5. ABX

(they could be in any particular order after 1)

Me too man, so many upsets today. Definitely a win for tier 2 NA today
