what do you expect? each country to have its own team of 5? if that was the case then EMEA would have been a dead region a long time ago

1. they made it when the competition was worse, teams are now figuring out everything and getting their shit together
2. this team was not winless, it was oxg with an assistant coach who has comp experience
3. giants are a fucking franchise team losing to a coach who hasn't played in 2 years (no disrespect to weber, he was playing well despite that)
4. his team is in fact playing like ass lately, and its because they are fucking around with who is igl (steel --> exalt) and this system is not optic, not even c9, its dsg the na challengers team

yw for the explanation, since you wanted it:)

if drx troll, dfm have a SMALL chance of 2-1. if drx decide to take out their anger on dfm, well, they are gonna get fucked.

his twitter handle also just happens to be big bean, its more so of a nickname as well

bzka is not the problem, he coached a world champion team

buzz can entry well on raze, which is why i think they shouldn't have foxy play raze. they got him to have him play jett instead of buzz, so just have him be like aspas and only play jett on every map besides bind

he's a flashy jett player. that's the appeal, because that's the meta rn

also i have to add he entries really well, and can op well, prob better than buzz did for most of the time

little tips coming from immo 2 peak:

ascendant and up you wanna be finding someone to 2 stack with, at the very least. solo q is not good in the upper elos, and you are gambling your rr

now that you are playing with at least semi competent players, i recommend trying to adapt small micro/macro play or strats into your gameplay, as it will give you a clear edge. watching pro vods or games can help with this, but its not needed

finally, basics: game sense, aim, fundamentals, etc etc. also have fun and don't let your mental go to shit, a balance between focused and caring and being relaxed because at the end of the day its just a game

what makes it worse is he gets mad at people for saying shit about brazil, but has no problem calling someone out for being have a Jamaican flag. make up your mind for fucks sake

3-2 champs 2021 finals, close playoff games, insane comebacks, i would say lock // in was nowhere near as competitive as that event, but i will agree reykjavik wasn't competitive because it was the start of the game's competitive lifespan. don't be delusional though, lock // in win does not mean as much, its just that fnatic are better regardless of winning that event, it didn't prove anything outside of beating loud

rare number 1 cned fan L, don't commend shownu's bait threads

bro sgares stream already mentioning this lmaooo hes gotten the attention he wants

i love how you go into twitch chats during fnatic games, and its just a bunch of 12 yo bandwagons who are coping with every single time the other team gets a kill.
someone on fnatic dies: ''lucky shot'' ''vac'' ''lucky''
When fnatic get a kill: ''ez'' ''fnatic best team in the world'' ''haha other team sucks''
obviously that's not all fnatic fans but still

i only put him because of literally -1 performances. its so hard with prx because every player can be good one game and shit the next, it just depends on the day. i dont really like d4v41 in the igl role, so that's mainly why i put him. i could see the argument for mf, besides last series he was awful all split

Pacific:

DRX: Literally no one, this team clears the rest of the region.
Zeta: Prob Crow tbh
T1: Still Ban, Carpe is on fraudwatch once again tho (sorry Carpe user or whatever your name is)
PRX: d4v41
GE: Wronski (yes, ik he's not in playing 5 rn)
GEN: Eko ig? he was good vs drx tho
TS: Dubstep
RRQ: 2ge
DFM: Seoldam
Talon: Patt, because until he's back on duelist, he's on overfraudwatch (i suck at making jokes)

I heard that the real reason G2 didn't make it into franchising is because Carlos punched Riot's PR guy in the face

idk why people don't like china getting 3 slots. Riot wouldn't have the money to support this game's scene and events if not for tencent

you know who else said i think we qual to masters dude? zombs. looked how that turned out

note: only take melatonin if you have been prescribed to or have a condition that warrants it (i.e. chronic or acute insomina)

the voices in my head

this is factual. i do this on my alt with my good friend and it works every round
as for higher elos, and to answer your question, the best pearl team is leviatan, i have clips of some cool strats they do from matches as well if u want

The OpTech Supremacy is a term referring to the Valorant roster of OpTic Gaming, and their odd tendency to call pauses both technical and strategic at the most opportune times during a match. Three players from the former roster which was disbanded at the start of Valorant's franchising system earlier this year, along with coach Chet ''Chet'' Singh, who are all now on NRG, continue the tradition of pauses that are triggered at such good times it is suspicious. Even though they are on a different team, these 4 individuals sustain the legendary ''OpTech Strat''.

(not cringe just meh copypasta. i still like to spam it under every nrg tech pause thread)

please welcome 100T hiawog as the new Head Coach of our Valorant team. Let's get to work 😈

it was actually tennn who was a fucking monster at Reykjavik along with sugarzero and laz on chamber

but tbf the entire team was good, even crow was supporting well

i think they qual against prx, they look slightly better. tokyo is gonna be hype with a jp team there

gen g below fucking vitality and 100t? im not being biased but gen g are better than both those teams. giants are way too high, they are like 10-15 (9th at best). PRX should be higher, as many have said, and eg should be dead last, or at least second to last. koi is too high because they look dysfunctional

the rest are ok, but my inner bbl fan says they should be a tiny bit higher because they've recently started playing well.
also zeta may have lost to talon 2-0, but that's because talon stopped trolling. they are still good, and shouldn't be in 25th.

they should keep pancada on kj as its what they've been doing, and its been pretty good. besides, marved should be on controller, since pancada is probably better to flex on to sentinel. on double controller maps i think dephh should be on kj, but on pearl they make him on harbor work somehow

only for this week, as per toast. exalt may be with the roster moving forward, but its not known whether he will play or not at all after this week

10-9 KC, 1-1 map scores

barbar is fucking done lmao, i can't imagine how he is feeling watching this shit show of a team (idek whether both are still shit or kc improved)

jame time vs baguette, who will win

his name in china iirc is remyhorse, but he's called remy. so remy?

well you know

https://tiermaker.com/create/vct-americas-players-3129

slightly better but still delusional tier list

did bro just say they were real for supporting them for a month 💀

yes, fines cannot shoot back

nah keith is back, its the rest of nrg who need to step it up

karmine corp being good at split? no way

in esports (or any sports for that matter) if a org sees the wisdom an upper staff or coach has, they will be open to what they propose, even if its crazy, like dropping yay and vanity right after lock in and picking up unproven players. results also play a factor, but by interaction its usually easy to tell who is great coach and who is one of the best

collegiate players are just different ig

technically, yeah. if you count the lev game. he was spectated and 1v3

then tell me why fns lost to cauanzin while being spectated at lockin and cost them the game?

as someone who sometimes stays up to watch pacific or watches pacific streamers, its just chill. they don't care about baiting and farming impressions, they just play and chat

for once, i agree with you. LOUD hard clears the rest of Furia, though

gen g (def no bias)

nah but teams like furia, bbl, and prx are probably the best logos

rhyme? bro was just in a shit team. look at giants now

edit: i realize how ironic this looks, but na gen g was ass

if they lose to kru, just drop everyone except som and rebuild. the optic core don't deserve this, and should go to eg instead because even jawgemo has been playing better

they beat leviatan, and at the time, lev had not lost to 100 bagres

1. cope
2. seethe
3. mald
4. repeat

nah he said that it would be a personal or grudge match vs c9 and they were ready to beat them, and then proceeded to get cleared by Leaf. its just harmless banter, but vlr is flaming him because he made a claim and didn't back it up. nothing new
