actually tho th with a new player looks better on paper but who knows how much patitek did for comms or anything so they are a big question mark

i was say 0% chance but every game is an upset so its 50/50

idk I feel they are playing at similar levels tbh, but subbing in this instance matters far less compared to last year as roles will stay the same and it's only the sentinel switching which doesn't take much to get used to
They wouldn't swap mid season or anything but in between shanghai and split 2 it could happen if flashback comes back

foxy without a doubt
foxy been on senti so I think they planned to have flashback in that role and subbed foxy into that last minute, and like foxy has been good senti but a specialist that's also crazy is an upgrade imo

tixx goat

holy savage

na fans wont even watch cause of the time so who cares about sen qual, china viewership will be nuts

yay had defenders early on but the numbers dropped over time as he kept losing
if demon1 lose 13 in a row he'll probably have less than yay now

12 and a half

if sentinels and nrg were to play a match against each other on the map bind, where sen played defense with the same form they did against evil geniuses, and nrg played attack with the same form they did against leviatan, it may be the worst half of valorant ever played

you wouldnt get it

sen vs eg sen playing against nrg vs lev nrg on bind with nrg atk and sen def could be the worst half of valorant of all time

Instead of playing a more loose demon1 go kill structure like eg did last year they're trying the old nrg/optc approach of structure chess whatever which only works with a really good igl and is hard to call. In the lev bind game the calling was HORRENDOUS with extremely predictable and extremely slow execs and demon1 had very little opportunity to go kill as he was sent in to die every round. I think they should play more loose personally and just rewrite the early round strats, but also the confidence looked bad so they need to work on that too.

This might be bait but I lowkey agree

hes probably is annoyed sen lost but there wouldnt be anything to it

im not even a sen fan ppl just shitting on all madrid teams which is unfair

0/8

This split was always gonna be cooked after playing so much and not having time to reinvent themselves before the split

Tbf that bind game was horrendous calling AND execution from the whole team and so demon1 being sent in to die every round wasn’t really his fault

Spring

It would actually be sick if bleed bounced back and went on a run

Assuming:
Dfm beat ge
Drx beat bld
Prx beat bld
Gen beat rrq
This game decides the final playoff spot. Who do you have winning and why

T1 probably beat zeta and earn the 3rd alpha spot, if zeta win then they probably make playoffs with tln prx and drx. This is assuming bleed and global don’t win another and Rrq lose to GenG

I’ll stop doubting if they get ninebody off the bench

China is so random atm
1: EDG
2: FPX
3: TRACE
4-11: random order every day

Icl the least likely part is BLG making Shanghai with how they’re playing 😂

They haven't lost so therefore they are the best
Top 6 itw are a lock
KRU
DRX
NAVI
EDG
FPX
TRACE

Check the Liquid vs Heretics odds
I get 10% of your winnings if you put money down after seeing this thread

unironically every cn team dogwalks koi and furia atm

I’d move fpx up and BLG down 1 each

Ace gamer arent you late for 17y/o school buddy

Why is everyone getting upset now especially pacific and emea but all regions feel so random atm

site has to stay up somehow

Wolves and RRQ but also nova and fpx cause oce

Wolves vs All Gamers Icebox > LOCKIN Grand Final

its based on kickoff placements and c9 and kru are overperforming compared to then

2 days ago I’d say tec are better but bleed win + tec dismantling makes me flip

ewok hopped on vlr and saw everyone complaining that estrella was playing and ppl saying they need a dedicated smokes so he put 2ge in to show the community that estrella is actually good! Hope this helps!

-aak +ninebody and tyloo become the best team

It’s a sh0me they h0d to pla0y w0th a s0b and c0uldnt pl0y with th0ir s0c0nd0ry c0ll0r

Everyone talking mad mad shit about Estrella in his whole time at RRQ and now everyone saying it’s not his fault and he deserves better cause he’s not playing in their worst game yet. Recency bias on this site is absurd

Everyone seeing that Sen Geng kc whoever doing badly in split 1 and assuming Madrid was a fluke is crazy like those teams showed so much more, had less prep time for stage 1 (especially playoffs teams), all while other teams got to work on themselves and watch so much tape on the Madrid teams. If there was a 2 month gap between Madrid and split 1 then sure these teams underperforming would matter but cmon.
When shanghai teams lose in split 2 people are going to call that mickey mouse too and it will be just as braindead

2ge the goat

What chances have oce had to show they deserve it? It’s impossible to tell but it’s a big enough region that should be given a chance

2GE playing instead of Estrella due to Estrella falling sick. Will be a test to see if vlr is right about needing a controller player with hands or if Estrella is worth more than what we see on the server

Oce team please 🙏

yeah but spring clears everyone so...

ong -aak +ninebody and they winning champs
goat ninebody on the bench is a crime

Oh maybe they flipped before it started but at one point I checked and they were favourites

I feel like quack doesn’t watch any valorant outside of when he’s casting and just says random shit
