in a scream between kru and furia things ended up heated and they all insulted each other. Keznit and dgzin ended up having a fight and insulting each other

in a stream, keznit said that he would like to talk to dgzin so they can burry the hatchet and fix things. Even so the keznit vs dgzin match is going to be a banger

oh yeah, that sucks
besides a few exceptions i can't understand hating a player

isn't rating just a natural part of sports? i like every player but ratings are just for fun, and if a player is ranked low is not because he is a bad player

i think everyplayer between 1-7 place are very good and almost everyone besides valyn is interchangable, not disrepect to s0m, i think he will be a lot better this year

because this list is made looking at what i think would be the positions in 2025. Melser could mantain a 1.0 rating even though he hates playing IGL and couldn't focus in fraggin out, so now that he is free of being an igl i think he will be alot better

he is! but i think his biggest problem is his consistency. I hope that we can see him play better this season, as furia's 2025 team seems a lot better, even though they dropped nozwer.
The thing i want the most is that every team in americas gets better to have a more competitive league, so im hopping every player can frag out when need it

i would say that what held back kru was the communications issues with having a non spanish speaker on the team (even though heat is an amazing player) and that they had two players offrole.
And he didn't get dropped, tom nyongen (kru's sports director) said on twitter that they want to keep him.

Im sorry that you didn't like the list, but i stand by what i said

mazino is going to play flex
And melser is currently scrimming with kru and duos with shyy everyday, so im pretty sure he is going to continue with kru.

oh yeah, i heard about that lol
i think i remember a fns stream where marved join in drunk just the night before a match.
If he doesn't want to keep playing thats a shame, we will be losing a big talent

im a big fan of both s0m and FNS, and im always rooting for teams that takes a chance with tier 2 talent, so no hate boner for NRG, and if i have to choose a NA team to support, it would be NRG. When i'm saying that he couldn't keep his level is that he was the best controller of 2023, so anything below that seems like a downgrade, but that's the reason im excited to seeing him play this season, the new NRG seems insane, so i think everyone can improve drastically.

And don't take the number position so seriusly, i think that everyone in the top 7 are close enough that you could switch them around

it's insane that he was the mvp in master reykjavík considering he was playing with a stacked team with yay in his prime.
Hopefully we can see marved again, he deserves another chance to prove himself.

i can't base these decisions just on how is rated higher in vlr lol especially considering that if you look at vlr rating, kingg and khalil are above him
i know s0m is good, and i'm pretty sure he is going to be even better this season
But valyn was so good in the international stage that is hard for me not seeing him as one of the best controller of the world.

excited to see him play, i don't really know much about brazil tier 2, but always excited to see new talent from br/latam, especially these two because i only heard good things about them

maybe im being bias because NRG didn't made playoffs, but i think that most of these spots are close so you could honestly made the switch. I'm not saying s0m played bad this season, but comparing him to his 2023 form it seems like a downgrade. Honestly i'm excited to see him play this season.

Everyone is ranking duelist these days so i will rank my favorite rol in the game.

1. G2 Valyn: Crazy clutches, crazy frags, and doing everything while IGL. If G2 can mantain their 2024 level, valyn could be considered the best controller in the world, or at least top 3

2. Sen Bang: In my opinion bang was 100T best player last year. Hopefully he can mantain this in 2025. He is nowhere near a downgrade from tenz, maybe tenz had a better firepower, but bang is more flexible overall, and his ability to play more controllers means that the rest of team can play without being offrole.

3. 100T Zander: The best controller in tier 2 two years in a row, it's kinda crazy that he couldn't ascent, but i'd say that two years in tier 2 made zander a better player, giving him experience. Not really much to say about zander, if bang wasn't a downgrade comparing him to tenz, zander isn't a downgrade comparing him to bang.

4. LOUD Pancada: Even though he only play stage 2, it's kinda crazy that he can play at a high level even though he play a whole season offrole. Always consistent, and in my opinion the best player in LOUD this year.

5. KRU Melser: When this guy frags, he doesn't stop. Even when he had to IGL when he isn't one, he mantain a good level. Now that he doesn't have to IGL, im pretty sure that he will level up his game and add firepower to the squad.

6. LEV Kingg: I think he is a better player that most of the people above but this is a controller tierlist, not a player one. He is insane, but he is offrole, and honestly this is impressive that he can play so good in a role he learn mid season. He can go a few tiers above is he learns the role some more in this offseason.

7. NRG S0m: In 2023 he was THE best controller in americas, but couldn't mantain his level in 2024. If i had to say, this new NRG seems way to good, so i think is totally possible that he can go up a few tiers. Hopefully he can regain his title as the best NA controller.

8. C9 v1c: In my opinion, this is the best pick up that c9 made this season, but i don't this is enough to made c9 a good team. But honestly this is a improvent over vanity as a controller.

9. EG Supamen: I really like this guy, honestly he won me over last year, and i still think he is the best player for EG this year, i know he can do a lot better this year under potter guiadance, but im waiting for this to happen.

10. 2G Iz: Everyone on this team really surprised me, i think they are all amazing players. The only reason i rank him so low is because i need him to prove himself in tier 1, but i have a lot of faith in him.

11. FURIA Khalil: I just can see it with this guy, i remember he used to be so good before franchasing, i really hope that he can comeback to those days.

NOT RANKED:
MIBR: I don't know which player is going to play controller this season. I heard good things about cortezia and xenom, but i need to see them play first.

wasn't he in tryouts for g2? or was that just a rumour?
besides that it's kinda crazy that he signed a 2028 contract

i have no idea how hard is to make an offseason event for latam/br
i remember only one, the latam gods in 2022. I think even an online event would be enough for people, at the end of the day we wanna see how good are the new teams
how can i delete this comment lmao

i actually have no idea how hard is to make an offseason event for latam/brazil
but even an online event would be enough, people just wanna see these players in action

it kinda makes sense, since melser currently doesn't have a contract, but i think he is just negotiating a better contract with kru

you think? i actually like the calling of all knights, but i can see where are you coming from.
Do you think that kru should have chosen nozwer over adverso?

i would like to see offseason events between brazil and latam, is kinda hard to create hype for these teams with just leaks

i mean melser is currently practicing with the team, i don't think he would be scrimming if they wanted to replace him

not google translate im just dumb lmao
not used to type in english and was watching a stream so it kinda happened

I've seen some people saying that kru is just about to same that last year or even worse, just for dropping heat, but i disagree completly.

This is the first time since franchising that kru have 5 players in their role:
Duelist: Keznit
Sentinel: Shyy
Smoker: Melser
Flex: Mazino
Initiator: Adverso
In 2024 they had mta as an initiator when he was a duelist player in t2, heat playing flex when he was a duelist player in mibr.
I love heat as a player, but mazino is obviously a improvement, mazino is a natural flex player and he also helps in comms, as it was mentioned that sometimes they have to call twice because heat didn't understant enough spanish
Adverso is a good IGL, i think he demostrate that in ascension, very strong attack sided caller and he also have good firepower. This also takes the pressure off melser, he never wanted to be an IGL, and now he can focus enough to be a consistent smoke player.

I could honestly see KRU being at least top 4 in Americas.

Keznit way to low, he can play raze neon jett reyna and iso at a high level and every game his aim seems to be improving.
His biggest weakness is his OP, but is not like he can't OP at all.
In my opinion, he is better that Oxy, Cryo and Jawgemo.

NRG: They seem nice, i used to like mada and verno but i didn't really believe in them because they didn't go to ascension, but i quicky change my mind, FNS can actually shoot now and his lurks seems efective
SEN: They need to stop trying to re invent the wheel, this also happened last year, they have good players and defined roles, just play them well and they will perform
C9: This is probably an upgrade from last year, but i don't really expect much from them
EG: Yay seems comfortable playing senti, this greatly improve EG, but sym needs to improve, overheats way to easily and currently doesn't have the mechanics for it to pay off, but if someone can improve a player is potter, so i don't think is as bad as some people say

Even though this is an offseason event, is a good way to actually measure teams, look at last year, sen was the biggest winner of the offseason and they won madrid. Obviously everything can change.

i was doubting between cauanzin and pancada, i chose pancada because i remember more impact rounds of him, but you can make an argument for both players

you are right, and that's because i said that he is essential, i think he is inconsistent but thats something that he can train, and if he does he would be the best player in 100T, i just think that eeiu has one of the best clutch factors and sova utility in NA

he could be, but in 2024 kingg played better
but i think that demon1 will play better that he did this year, so you could honestly go either way

boostio is essential for 100t, probably one of the best igl in NA, but i think he is kinda of inconsistent, and in the current meta i can't justify not being able to frag out just because he is an igl

c0m has better utility that kingg, but i rate kingg higher because he has better firepower even while igling

and im not the bigger yay believer, but after seeing him play the sen city event he grew on me, he seems more comfortable as a senti player, so he could be the better player

this season kingg played better than demon1, but if not crazy to say that demon1 could be the better player in 2025, lev is honestly pretty stacked, even though they lost aspas

in g2 i picked valyn because he honestly impressed me everytime i saw him in an international, so i rated him higher than jawgemo

i honestly think that you can make an argument for each player in 2g, they played insane in ascension

100T: eeiu
C9: Oxy
EG: Supamen
Furia: Heat
KRU: Keznit
LEV: Kingg
LOUD: Pancada
MIBR: Aspas
NRG: idk, verno seems crazy in the sen city thingy
SEN: Zekken
G2: Valyn
2G: Spike when he turns 18, Zap before that

im the least confident in nrg and eg, those players seems hard to rate tbh
