people need to stop sleeping on my goat man its getting sickening - he has never gotten a chance to show out. If he got a shot on a t1 roster he would genuinely shock everyone

the guard players should obviously get on teams that goes without saying lol need to root out the current frauds in t1 who snuck in

if v1c isn't on a franchise roster next year I have completely lost faith in our regions ability to scout talent. same goes for Oxy, N4rrate, skuba, verno.

Stellar was the problem - after sean left we went into his shitty system

im saying from an ownership perspective - they do not care whos friends and who is isnt

who you want man? fns? they have publicly talked about budget cuts - he's talked about because he's the best available that isn't already linked to another team lol

He has played Sova - and knows breach Skye and everything else. the point is the meta in this game is always changing - verno's agent pool is Sova and sage. i admit he is a great Sova and without a doubt the best available that's why he is in my original list but if they are keeping some of the roster v1c is a better fit because he can do anything

flyuh is the ideal for igl I agree there - but ur counter for verno over v1c is clown behavior look at their vlr's - literally all verno can play is sova why take someone like him over a flex player who is top of the line on anything except duelist.

bro just wants the guard minus their second best player

you need a wake up call if you think friendships matter lolol to your other point i think v1c can flex to any role very well and overall is a better player then verno eeiu and nismo. i left out sentinel because that role typically belongs to IGL but the roster can be very flexible - and thats the point. 4/5 of them can play anything. I am also factoring in rumors - leaving out players that are highly linked with other teams atm

Now that I spent the other thread complaining now is the time to offer solutions. Here's realistic (meaning budget) rosters I would like to see next season.

If WHOLE team gone -

Oxy/N4rrate, v1c, flyuh/zander, skuba, verno

IDEAL roster -

Duelist - Cryo
Flex - Asuna
IGL - flyuh/zander
Controller - skuba
Initiator/Sentinel - v1c

I love bang he's my favorite player but I don't see him succeeding here and I hope he gets picked up by c9 like the rumors say. v1c is still disgusting and one of the most underrated players in valorant who has never really gotten a shot. Verno and skuba had really good showings on OXG, and zander/flyuh obviously on m80 and mxm respectively.

He was also thrown onto gekko, breach, fade - but yes towards the end he finally got back to raze and skye.

lmao someone gotta

Now that the season is over - I think we can all finally admit stellar and or Mikes were the problem with this team. Everything Sean built last year collapsed instantly with seemingly the best duelist in the region being added coming off an insane individual performance at champs. stellar's IGL'ing is selfish and he plays more for himself than his teammates that's why his stats typically "look better". Asuna was a shadow of his former self becoming the sacrificial lamb for whatever shitty comp they came up with. He played whatever role - and sacrificed the most for this team. Then bang who was seeming like he was going to turn into one of NA's best players didn't even plateau - he plummeted. Cryo started slow but returned to form at the end of the year and tried to carry a dead team. Derrek was never the star but even he looked like a shadow of himself. All we ever saw from this team was individual heroics - they never looked together. At the end of the year it truly showed that all of them were unhappy with the system and yet nothing changed. It was a complete and total failure of a team I have supported since Hiko, Pride, Venerated, YaboiDre, and Valliate. We can all play the game like "the fans have no clue what they are talking about" but someone needs to take the blame for this utter collapse of all seemingly star players. Make it make sense. I like all of these players (aside from stellar) and hope they all retain a spot in tier one even though it seems likely Bang and Derrek are gone at the least. Hopefully 100T build around Cryo this season and put him in a position to succeed. DDK as the GM is also to blame, eventually the "give them time" speech runs out of juice. Wake the fuck up clown.
