ya, choked first twice in an intl idk what ur point is mate
yeah bit of a cesspool right now
hopefully shit gets better for them
classic sen fans logic bro,
sen > mibr
mibr > kru
therefore, sen > kru
it is what it is
yeah this does make alot of sense
but prior to 2025 season, n4rrate was the obvious pickup no? to fill sacy's shoes, who else could they have gotten?
kru were a top 3 team ever since losing to mibr in kickoff lol
like by all accord they should have beat mibr, they just came up against mr +46 on a good day
in hindsight, n4rrate was the best available flex they could have picked up prior to the 2025 season (with bang/Zander being the best smokes player options)
he looked good on KC, I have no idea why his form has slipped so much since then?
If he keeps performing badly or don't make Toronto, they're gonna make changes
I wish you the best bro, been a smoker for the past four years. This shit will kill you but quitting is the first step on getting your health back. Good luck!
but demon1 looks just as bad on primary duelist and smokes, stat-wise, if not worse LOL
this is the obvious fix but yea there's more underlying issues + i can't really think of a selfless duelist whos on the market right now
no actually this is a decent take
only problem is they already have tex who is a comfortable sentinel
LEV should just:
tex - sentinel
rossy - igl/flex
kingg - smokes
demon1 - primary duelist
c0m - initiator
i literally do not know why they had kingg play yoru on icebox vs mibr and demon1 on smokes
he already made enough money lol
i don't think he cares too much if he gets benched
won champs 24 and was the equivalent of the goat in crossfire
your team literally did the same thing in 2023 then disbanded because of monetary issues LOL
edited it for obvious reasons but yeah, it's weird for sure! as a coach!
respect for trying honestly, at least he didn't try anything weird
some of y'all need to get a grip
should be s1mon playing, they JUST signed jieni7
they might just have jieni7 as a substitute, much like how wooday1 was
would sound kind of ruthless if edg were like "thank you for winning champs for us, now you're gone. byebye!"
i focus more on working sets than I do for PRs. I only attempt PRs if I really feel up to it.
started around 14 months ago?
Weight: 78.5kg
PB Bench: 85kg.
Tbh, that isn't even that bad, considering I was barely able to bench the bar when I first started.

Swerl resting link, not being replaced by OBONE
Amer:
NRG -- best moves imo but they definitely should have picked up rossy before LEV did, since he can play flex & second caller
2G - no fuckin clue on who the replacement is, i won't make a comment.
FURIA - all brazillian teams besides LOUD and MIBR are piss, i won't make a comment
MIBR - good move, might have some chemistry impact, since they have to speak English now and not their native language, also aspas might be a little pissed that he got ditched from playing w/ his homeboy for the second time in two years (LOL)
LEV - yeah best possible move imo, def an upgrade in terms of chemistry.
EMEA:
VIT - who? trexx is so good, i have no idea why they replaced him.
FNC - unfortunately will still be peaking at top 6 internationally (doombros is nothing special)
TL - ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? what the fuck is wrong with them
M8 - idk RobbieBK, should be a decent move tho?
APAC:
GENG - ight idk what the fuck GENG were thinking by promoting ppl from their academy roster since i don't think a reason was ever given for removing yoman?
RRQ - mid team LOL, probably will stay the same
TLN - good move, but they should have promoted surf. ban and governor have just looked so shit as of recent. (also full thai roster = chem)
GE - still bottom feeder team
PRX - no clue what they wanna do but i hope they play normal comps in split one
CN:
NOVA - Swerl is not leaving NOVA per se, he has an injury right now and is just recovering from that, but full 5 Chinese players are good in terms of chemistry and communication.
DRG - just a roster shuffle, should remain 5-6th if not top 4 (just seeing if FPX or XLG become shit later in the year)
FPX - good call to pickup shr1mp, now they have a dedicated tejo, and he did not look bad during his first game in split 1. switching IGLs from BerLIN to Autumn is a bit of a question mark for me since they do communicate in Chinese, but hey, if the scrims are going well then its fine.
EDG - probably just a sub tbh, they had WoodAy1 for their champs run and he didn't replace anyone nor did he sub anyone in during the 2024 VCT Season. He should be okay unless EDG wanna pull some dumb shit
AG - lol
TEC - still shit team, get rb some help pls
Americas: 2G and EG (lol)
EMEA: KOI and APEKS
APAC: ZETA and Global
CN: oh god there's like six answers, but JDG and AG. I really wish Attacking Soul Esports' full roster would have made it into franchising.
aspas - primary duelist (can speak english/americas import)
forsaken - flex (best apac flex, can probably flex onto sentinel pretty well)
free1ng - tejo (best tejo itw)
stax - initiator/igl (sova/fade/kayo)
Persia - smokes (was gonna say Karon, but i don't know if he can speak english)
aspas for obvious reasons
forsaken can literally flex onto anything and play well
free1ng was picked up from tier 2 and has been playing nothing but tejo. before you ask if he can speak english or not, he played for Rare Atom, he had to play with one HK'er and UdoTan alongside two chinese players, so my bet is that he can speak english fairly well.
stax obviously can speak english because of his time on 2024 T1 with Rossy, you can literally hear him speaking English
Persia, i dug a little bit into his team history and found that he played for Orangutan, an INDIAN team, in 2022. Surely he can speak English.
didn't want to go into generic korean teams, because apac is literally just korea rn.

go to the last 30 seconds or so of this video, they're all comming in chinese, but i can't exactly make out whose voice is who. are there any vods of FPX comming? similar to a listen in, i'd like to see how good autumn's chinese has gotten
joon is a super good artist too! i rate that bro.
not going to add any songs to the playlist as i don't want to reveal my spotify to the entire valorant community, but I looked through the playlist, looks like you like alot of mainstream rap.
i unfortunately don't listen to alot of this but you should genuinely consider sadder music, so move into genres such as bedroom r&b!
here, i'll drop some songs, let me know if you like them:
intentions - starfall
darling, he lied - starfall, bixby
endlessly - bixby
weeknights - starfall
forever & - ejean
he's something - yel
lovers rock - tv girl
oh wow, I sure hope that a Tier one FRANCHISED team with INTERNATIONAL experience would be able to beat tier two teams from a region that doesn't have a good team in the VCT currently and a region that has no team in the VCT currently.
On a side note though, $100,000 USD is a pretty big prize pool for such a minor event.
This is actually not a bad dark horse suggestion. I like it.
NOVA has been getting better and better, especially now with a fully chinese roster. Swerl isn't a bad player by any means, but as pointed out by Ezeir, communications are much more important than just a talented player (Verno on NRG ahem)
KRU came really close to hitting top 3 for Americas, it's unfortunate that they played the goat and he absolutely mopped the floor with them.
Not really an EMEA watcher but M8 was really competitive, I still think there are better teams though, maybe Heretics and KC? KC only lost a very close series to VIT and Heretics may have had time to pick up on the Tejo meta ever since their kickoff run ended.
As for Pacific, I think this is the most difficult to tell. Pacific has tons of good teams that could make Top 3. All the korean teams look really strong right now, Nongshim probably being the weakest, but that's kind of expected when all the korean teams are pretty much champions (except for DRX). I do still want PRX to go the Toronto though.
i mean, they didn't look THAT good within their own region -- losing to DRX in the grand finals and coming in from the lowers really does deal a blow to how favoured you are internationally, especially if APAC was considered a weak region. If I told you that EDG would be knocked out by T1 in the lower finals 3-1 prior to Bangkok, or even during the swiss stage, you'd probably never believe me.
i'd like to say they improved overall throughout the bangkok and -carpe +sylvan made all the difference (sylvan averaging 20 assists a map)
but u know, it's just predictions -- you're not bound to be correct 100% of the time.
put it on ur soul as well if u truly believe in free1ng
Not from Singapore, but I play in the OCE region regardless. In Sydney servers, you can't really get 5-10 pingers with normal NBN wifi, and is only really accessible via ethernet.
I play regularly at a Chinese PC Cafes, and i get 5-10 ping consistently most of the time. The point I am trying to put forward is that alot of 5-10 pingers are playing from an internet cafe, as such a ping is rarely accessible at home.
Most of the time if I get a 5-10 pinger on my team (and yes, i am about the same rank as you), they are usually a Chinese person playing at an internet cafe. So, I suppose you can assume that the same can exist in Singapore servers.
So I suppose you can assume that a 5-10 pinger in Singapore would have the implications that you have pointed out above. But personally, I really just think that you've just been getting unlucky. Surely not every 5-10 pinger Singaporean is toxic and annoying.
LMAOOOO no but it is just reminiscent of the time i spend with her and all the shit we do together
no LOL i peaked diamond 2, but i have tried playing in immortal lobbies and doing fairly decent in them
