i can speak fluent korean im trying out for GenG

this this this i like. i want to give free1ng a shot though i see sm potential in him. also i get that flashback can play flex, but who would play initiator? (scan mainly).

Americas: SEN win every single Americas grand finals
APAC: DRX wins one international event
EU: KC will get top 4 in an event
China: Trace dominate regionally

Dont sleep on DRX. flashback alone will solo

honestly I like icebox in DM only bc the map is kinda small. a map like haven you might not even find anyone

DM can easily get on your nerves though which a lot of people hate. Also a map like Abyss in DMs have HORRIBLE spawns. Maps like bind are good because they have good spawns, but some maps I get hit from 5 directions at once and then don't see a single soul for the next 5 minutes

id say bang is a raw aimer as well.

i agree thats why i still have high hopes. zellsis isn't bad at all and he can in fact aim, he just doesn't do it on a consistent basis.

Though I do love current Sentinels and have high hopes there is one player that I would've wanted over someone. I would've wanted Verno over Zellsis. Verno would take over main initiator (scan) and N4RRATE would play flex / support / duelist. This team would be a 5/5 aiming roster with players who can actually play the game well.

Duelist: Zekken
Initiator: Verno
Flex/Support: N4RRATE
Smokes: Bang
IGL + senti: JohnQT

dont underestimate bang

none of these are in order
n4rrate
leo
verno
mako
aspas
jawgemo
monyet
sayf
f0rsakeN
less

karon
d4v41

this team is crazy hit or miss though. buzz is insane and i love him, but he is an activation player.

its about time you jump on the verno train. this kid is the future. he has insane mechancis some of the best ive ever seen and this kid can play any initiator + brim + kj + yoru

i've only heard like one or two rumors (one abt saadhak?) could you inform me

thakn you for informing me.

these are all based off of the things i have seen please correct me if i am wrong.

2025 valorant seems insanely strong so far in terms of all regions having 3+ good teams.

I am super excited for VCT next yr and i think the level of competition is gonna be insane

EMEA:
FNC: fnc core + kaajak
VIT: superteam w derke less sayf and trexx (dont get me wrong superteams could turn out bad like we've seen, but this team is insane on paper)
TH: no explanations

APAC:
DRX: flashback (best player in the world) + mako core + new players who are mechanically gifted and proved themselves in t2
T1: stax + buzz + izu + who knows (old drx core)
GenG: karon + texture core + no info yet but any team with karon and texture will do good

AMERICAS:
NRG: verno (best player in the world) + mada + ethan + fns + s0m. the difference between this team and 2024 is that roles match + have 3 extremely mechanically gifted players (ppl also underestimate ethan aim)
G2: top 2 americas team in 2024 + jawgemo (best player in the world)
SEN: did AMAZING in 2024 + n4rrate (also best player in the world) + hopefully truly actiavted bang
100T: they did good in 2024 and will only improve also zander is insane

CN:
dont knwo MUCH about the region, but they obviously have the current world champions + trace and fpx who showed potential although i believe fpx is going for a rebuild.

aspas speaks good english, munchkin can speak and is willing to improve english, and meteor im not sure about him so he would prob be the only setback if he cant

english. munchkin said he is willing to learn. aspas can speak english. i just dont rly know if meteor can or not. that would be the only issue tbh.

tell me why it wouldnt work hypothetically. roles all match.

lowkey foxy9 back on senti on geng could be great. beyn was also rly rly rly good split 1 before he fell off

D4V41 (INITIATOR)
F0RSAKEN (I WANNA SEE HIM ON PERMA SMOKES)
ASPAS (DUELIST)
METEOR (SENTI + SECONDARY DUELIST IF NEEDED)
MUNCHKIN (IGL + SENTI)

I WANNA SEE THIS HAPPEN

I feel like Korean Val will be the strongest in APAC next yr

DRX: MaKo and Flashback core + young players w crazy mechanics
GenG: Karon and Texture core + who knows but any team w karon and texture will be good
T1: Stax and BuZz + possible og drx? + who knows

korean val looking bright

just have a good duo tbh. as long as you are skilled enough (mechanics and game sense), with a good duo you shouldn't have a problem. being the best player in the world with 4 bad teammates would even be hard to go from immo1 to immo3.

though i love buzz he’s too inconsistent. same w foxy and beyn. hopefully we see some consistency with this new team. the past 2 years of franchising w drx has given me heart problems

who will drx sign as their duelist player?

i obv just didn't think of him in the moment i posted. i did think about him afterwards though

d4v41 as initiator
f0rsakeN on sentinel
primmie as smokes
aspas as duelist
(igl im not sure who)

i feel like this team could honestly be possible since aspas is going to APAC

he hasn't been exceptional compared to how much potential he has though. i feel like there haven't been many exceptional controllers besdies s0m tenz and mako since franchsiing started.

i've always loved bang as a player, but it was kinda disappointing to see him do mediocre throughout his career. he showed glimpses this year and i hope he can continue to do well next year.

n4rrate and bang bring up the ceiling by so much. though sacy and tenz are amazing players, the versatility of n4rrate and the fact that bang can play every controller just raises the ceiling by sm. also n4rrate and bang as a duo are a lot better mechanically compared to tenz and sacy as a duo.

Be on the lookout for bang. I feel like bang has had some of the best potential in all of americas for a while and now that he's gonna be on a new team, i'm super excited to see how he performs. not to mention this guys mechanics are nuts

NOBODY

derrek has a way higher ceiling than crashies too

i have no clue whatsoever. im assuming if someone does get dropped its beyn or foxy or both. mako buzz and flashback are NOT getting dropped anytime soon. termi loves flashback and the rest are too valuable.

not announced, but rumored. so im assuming if they do get hyunmin there will be no need for a third person who can play duelist (aspas).

thats why i said its unrealistic. i only mentioned it bc i saw somewhere about it being a possibility.

DFM Superteam. Aspas meiy double duelist all of 2025

indeed so. verno is LeBron while sayf and derke are JV high schoolers

verno clears trexx sayf less and derke if derke joins

We know he's going to APAC. Realistically what team is most possible? I would love to see a DRX Aspas, but I think its so unrealistic bc of BuZz and HYUNMIN. Also, they're not gonna go from a Korean-speaking roster to English just because of one player. I have heard about Bleed rumors. What other team could he possibly join?

verno clears any paper rex player or apac player by a mile

do you think it would be a good move for him to move towards a more coaching position. not like coach, but like coaching side of SEN where he helsp with strats etc.

He will become the LeBron james of Valorant.
He can frag due to his godsent mechanics, he has clutch genes as he is always clutching, he is young so his reaction time is fast, and he is the perfect player who can play initiator, smokes, kj, and yoru. he is the future. ill be back next week

RETIREMENT Crashies

besides chem and maybe experience. what more does sacy offer than n4rrate as a player? n4rrate for sure has the better firepower, flexibility, and potential. i dont see a world where anyone would choose sacy over n4rrate.

ethan and s0m do.
s0m and fns do.
s0m fns and ethan have decent amounts.
verno is the goat so he can adapt.
im sure mada will do fine.
we'll see though

something like that

When is LeBron as head coach for Bleed getting announced

what rank would you guys say i am purely based off of my clips ignore gun buddy bc those are from customs
