joke is dead

zeek

fair enough! i agree then

KRÜ is LATAM

the usual

this post is an anti-gambling psa

and youve been wasting your time posting trash baits for 2 months KEKW

i think you should go outside

good response from gambit

nAts

their players were already incredible but players need time to gel together. you cant just put 5 cracked players and except them to be flawless from the start.

ppl when a team like 100t lose with ping they blame high ping. smb win with high ping then "high ping becomes good, actually" like bro make up your mind. the extreme wide swings high ping would benefit are not even practical enough in real games to provide a real advantage, especially with the big disadvantage it gives you with holding angles (this is even more true in pro games) literally every pro would prefer low ping to high. so much copium...

Y OMEGALUL RU

Good tier

1- SMB ( i just love the owl so much )
2- TL (its iconic)
3- Guild (unique and interesting)
4- Acend (simple and clean)
5- Navi (also iconic)
6- G2 (a little too complicated for my taste but still very nicely done)

Mid tier

7- Gambit ( the design needs a lil more thought but the branding is cool with the red)
8- FPX ( not rly creative but its ok ig )
9- VGIA (without the vodafone logo its decent)

Trash tier

10- FF ( i just learned how to use photoshop so i will put gradient overlays on everything kinda beat )
12- Forze ( not memorable one bit, not recognisable either. doesnt do its job as a logo)
11- OXG ( gamers rise up )

going up against gambit there is no way they are getting out of the bracket with the level of gameplay they have shown (besides stomping on the corpse of a team that is oxg ) guild have a clear win condition with beating g2 which should clearly be a equal matchup rn imo

Everyones teams to get out of the bracket seems to be g2 and gambit and even liquid(???) while guild is right there, they are easily one of the most fun teams to watch coming out from EU and theyve been good for a while. I think they have a great shot at going to berlin. Even when they last faced against G2 it went to map 5, they are up there...

also riot is like the only company that has put the support into growing the tr region, in turn creating a positive feedback loop with the playerbase

obvious bait, just changed their flag to TR too lmao

aged bad instantly

sensodyne tastes better : )

some players like to shake their crosshair after a shot bc it feels like resetting your aim thats it really

banger match

i mean considering forze just beat fpx they would not have qualified through cis challengers if they were competing in it

touch grass

their ascent attack halves were some of the worst valorant i have watched in a while

my man said zombs

4/10 bait, believable at first but stops making sense after you think about it more than 3 seconds

it would be cloud8

A huge portion of Acend's fanbase comes from turkish fans who are interested in following cNed and his performance in eu. Usually they end up becoming full fledged fans of the team after watching them play (not just cNed) Thats how it was for me atleast.

they got way more consistent, less chance of booming completely this time.

loser will be able to qualify without meeting sentinels in playoffs LOL

ah yes, the very (controversial) take: team will do good OR bad!

is the scoreboard wrong ?

gambit are favourites for sure and MAYBEEEEEEEE blaze for TR but i wont put trust in them until i see results internationally as their playstyle doesnt give me much confidence right now.

im a total acend simp but i dont think there is any viable argument that any team is better than sen until they actually lose on world stage, hard to do so after that complete domination in reykjavik

48 kills

ez for acend

bro tr fans have a hate-boner for paura no cap. he is literally top fragging in this icebox map and ppl still flame him lmfaooooooo

bro ur literally talking to ex heretics coach

yeah this is tragic considering the expectations, hope they wake up in the lower bracket at least ...

i mean... sure but even relatively to the other tr teams they just seem to be relying on pure aim duels way more. also i think futbolist at their peak were incorporating a lot of strategy and smart utility plays into their games. we'll have to see how they match up

is it just me or does blaze seem to not be doing any kind of strategic play at all ? its starting to feel like they just press w and win by aim diffing every round. i guess we'll have to see when they play against actually good teams

honestly couldnt tell much strat-wise because smb were just aim diffing. hard to tell. but the team looks clean af regardless

Always thought the knives should have increased recovery time between shots, feels way too easy to spam left click imo.
