funny how all of these guys can play smokes and have played them in officials

verno has played brim
yay has played viper
jawgemo has played astra and omen
forsaken has played harbor astra
valyn plays everything

just a personal player that i like. has good aim and potential as a smokes perm. i know there are better smokes players atm.

SPG / Nongshim

i like this a lot

never said this was the best, just a team i wanted to see. alfajer can easily be in leaf's position as leaf can be in his. the sentinel role has SO many great players right now that it is hard to choose a set goat. (less, alfa, meteor, benji, leaf, chichoo, flashback, potential foxy9, cortezia) there are a LOT of great sentis atm.

hmm surely verno has more impact in the server than johnqt? since f0rsaken can call to some degree and veterans like leaf and zekken can call with him.

i like this a lot as well. my senti picks were either meteor or leaf. karon as well the goat

hmm valid. the team i made was based off of potential as well. i think forsaken has a higher ceiling than chronicle and monyet has a higher ceiling that most smokes players rn. i completely agree with your takes as well.

i just really like monyet's playstyle and i think as a smokes player would have a high potential. there are def smokes player atm, i just see lots of potential in monyet.
who would you think is a better flex player atm.

i know people have posted this since the beginning of time, but since its a new year and VCT is starting soon, what is one team (any players of choice) you would like to see? Assume there is no language barrier.

Mine is

zekken (duelist)
verno (scan initiator/cypher)
leaf (sentinel)
monyet (perma smokes)
f0rsaken (flex + flash initiator)

i feel like I want to choose a different duelist player, but I feel like zekken is the most well rounded and reliable duelist rn imo

i think the only way fade can be buffed right now is faster time to throw and deploy eye. everythhing else about her is pretty balanced.

VIT (i love less and sayf)
G2 (leaf and jawg are the goats) i was NRG fan since i love mada som and verno with everything, but G2 are just too good
DRX
EDG

less chichoo benjy and meteor all have insane aim as well. senti util isn't really "hard" since its just setups and holding down site. very rarely senti util needs "skill"

aura unmatched and both GOATS. both dominating 2025. (champs winner/mvp+ grammy winner/AOTY)

cortezia we dont know yet, but the reason ppl are glazing verno so much is that you can just tell when a player is different. mechancially and his decision making, verno is a tier above 95% of all pros.

off topic but i would love to see a fade meta

thats a cool way to look at it as well. id say i agree for the most part. i think for me though i try harder BECAUSE its with friends and its ego on the line / u want to impress your friends if its a tournament

are the people you play with in 10-mans a significantly higher rank? or is it just a pure "other way around" thing for you as it is for me

i made a "GenRX" roster a while back combining GenG and DRX and i believe mine was

Texture
Flashback
Munchkin
Meteor
Karon/MaKo cant choose between the two.

im talking about a more consistent basis. his performance can be really underwhelming or at least thats how ive been feeling recently coming from a 3 year drx and mako fan.

yeah i agree

i completely agree with what you said and i think u described it perfectly.

i guess there could be something about the social aspect as i do feel more comfortable. it just always baffles how much of a difference there is for me.

well id say its not more about like winning the games because i usually win more games than i lose in ranked, but im more so talking about personal performance. personal decision making to mechanical skills

you play like a completely different player in customs/tournament style games compared to ranked. in customs i play w friends/collegiate players that are serious i go nuclear often dropping like 25+ kills as initiator/smokes, but when i play ranked my brain just shuts off and suddenly i cant aim.

i like how they're improving, but i wanna see prime mako. mako seems like the weakest atm

i agree with the ssees part. gyen has phenomenal aim, he just needs more experience and confidence like any other player would. just give him time.

EMEA: Alfa, Woot, Sayf
APAC: Flashback, Karon,
CN: chichoo, kk, whzy
NA: verno, oxy, leaf
SA: aspas, less, cortezia

verno

senior right now, but going into chemistry. planning to become a dentist

Results come out today wish me luck

g2 vs nrg grand finals for kickoff

it was good and still is good, but sm ppl using it is making it lose aura.

Aim: Verno
Movement: Jawgemo
Brain: N4RRATE
Utility: Ethan
Agent pool: F0rsaken or Rb
Leadership: FNS

VLR is a part of my life

mitch had crazy improvement in t2 so i think he could be great

thank you selectsense :)

i do agree with that and like that idea a lot. skuba + mitch have chem as well

thankyouu

i am eligible for VCT franchising now😊

he's just a solid player who has tons of experience. he is a temporary roster filler player. im just surprised he's still on C9

moose was a player who got brought up to t1 out of nowhere while there are a lot better options for sentinel players. obv if he doesn't drop 30 like prime alfa he's going to get hate.

moose isn't a bad player lets get that straight, but him joining T1 without ever really proving himself was a surprise especially when there are other sentinel players who are better than him. i think everyone expected him to only be on c9 for the 2024 season, so its more surprising that he is still on the org. i agree he deserves another shot which he does have, but there are definitely players who are better.

c9 shouldve been
oxy
v1c
rossy
mitch
some cracked senti

i never said he was, but he sure can keep up with them to a degree even if he isn't diffing them every round. he is a top radiant who plays against these high caliber players daily. theres no way he will get stomped to the floor if he is facing them.

mooda isn't bad though and plays against the players in rankers on a daily basis so it wouldn't be a crazy difference

situational, but always prioritize the tree smoke over any other

i fw persia and dambi so hard
