It’s not to soon lmfao he’s been playing for 2 years in tier 1 valorant, and he’s probably the best flex in Americas rn.
And yeah I’d agree

These are not mechanical freaks like demon1, tenz, something, etc. These are extremely smart players who almost never make a mistake, and just play good valorant nearly all the time (based on my eyetest).

I’m not saying they’re the best in the world, frankly I think Loud is just as good in the Americas, and PRX/Fnatic are probably a bit better worldwide. What I am saying is they showed no gekko, no yoru, and nothing particularly impressive with ult combos. I guarantee they have those prepped; after all, they have Chet and Tanizq. I think they will look a lot more impressive in this C9 game, but ofc I could be wrong.
They were saving all their comps lol, they played stuff from last year and won anyway
I mean Supamen was once top 3 smokes NA, he just got fucked over by Faze and put in contract jail. Derrek has shown he can be great, but had a rough season last year (partly bc skye dependence, and 100T vibes in general). Jawgemo is genuinely the best raze player worldwide rn that Jingg is gone. Nature is probably gonna take a bit to heat up, but he's shown potential, and Apoth is there.
I do too, but I KNOW Loud will be winning and I was wrong
Genuinely both look really good, but SEN got boomed by the gigachad Saadhak and a completely new comp on ascent. 100T meanwhile lost a good amount to Aspas and wereclose to winning, but to me, that reflects more on Lev's weakness than 100T's strength. SEN should be favored but it could really go either way. Whoever wins here will probably play LEV next match, and they have a good chance to take it.
In short,
Loud >>SEN> Lev~=100T
Yeah they look really good ngl. G2 got outplayed completely strategically, they won both pistols AND bonuses and still got smoked. Icebox. was KRU supremacy all the way
I lied, only Kru looks better strategically
Both of these teams are gonna be wayyyy better than people think.
Ok ik you troll all the time but this is legit correct I think, except I’d say Aspas >= demon1 for duelist and Alfajer = Less for senti.
Based on record, yes. He's had more longevity than Saadhak (until the end of this year), and he's the best midrounder valorant has seen. Saadhak has way better mechanics, and probably better teambuilding abilities, but its pretty even between them.
Yeah I mean since FNS is out, Saadhak is defacto the best igl in vct this year. Loud might lose some, but Saadhak is the goat.
But they’re not getting one bc loud is going through next match
That's incredible impact right there, literally turned an impossible round at 8-9 when they needed a win
Achilios is top 10 caster in FPS along with Ubershouts, Machine, etc
Yeah, I picked c9 but furia looks wayy better. This game is so so boring
No way the season was enough to bring us back lmfaooo
like bro if you spammed one smoke every round you'd get more than that
I got nrg winning and only mw goes positive on Furia.
It’s been WAY too long of an offseason
Can you dm me the spreadsheet?
Yeah because FNS is literally the best midrounder valorant has ever seen. Ethan will be decent I'm sure, but he won't be as good from an IGL standpoint. Marved was also WAY less vocal on optic compared to now.
They'll probably be 4th in Americas after taking down one of the superteams that fall apart (NRG or Lev).
who gives a fuck about the org, I'm here for my guard boys
Although I think another flaw is too many cooks in the kitchen. Ethan will be IGLing, Crashies and Vic are super vocal, and apparently Marved has brought a lot of his own ideas from his time IGLing on Sen. Making sure there isn't too much comming in the round will be a struggle for them I think.
Honestly these are all great points. I’m not so worried about the demon1 op tho, bc he’s so mechanically skilled I have no doubt he will be effective at it when needed.
Bro you’re still repping faze, have some shame
This is cap. JonahP has always been super consistent at playing every role; and if rumors are true, if anything he underperforms compared to scrims. That’s an issue that will be overcome with experience, which he’s got a bunch of in challengers. Take a look at the woohoojin breakdown of his game on kayo for ex, where he’s not even trying and is still showing insane skill. This guy is absolutely a tier 1 player, maybe not as impressive in statistics as the best flex players worldwide like Zekken, Rb, Chronicle, but certainly no slouch.
I said in that split, they obv choked in playoffs, and lost to a mid LG, then a really good C9 with Xeta who everyone expected to be the second NA team going to Iceland.
V1 was super good at chaining together util combos, they pioneered kayo on a bunch of maps along with C9, but Penny was kinda lackluster as a duelist and they didn’t adapt well to chamber so they fell off.
You don’t remember this game? During the prime chamber Yay era too. V1 was genuinely really incredible at the time.
Why is everyone forgetting how good zellsis is individually?
Sure we talk a lot about soft factors; comms, vibes, etc, and he’s definitely very strong in those areas, but he’s also been one of the best initiators in NA since near the beginning of Valorant.
Anyone remember him on V1? All throughout 2022 when they were nearly on Optic’s level? A large part of that was because of Zellsis’ influence. He’s always brought incredible individual performance, and I think it’s absurd that people are discrediting him for that.
And yes this is dickridinf and you don’t care bc you’re mad whatever whatever
Haha that’s what I’m doing after undergrad. Got my license and I’m looking to sail across the pacific next.
he's not coming back, we talk every once and a month
Kru is good, but don’t underestimate G2
Why tf would they take that guy over theif???
Yes and no. Certain flashes are more potent bc they provide sight line denial in addition to space creation. They also can be really effective at breaking crosshair placement. Breach flashes for ex, aren’t that impactful. Most pros are good enough to consistently turn them and maintain crosshair placement on all but perfect timing. But Skye flashes (bc of info), reyna flashes (bc of sightline denial), and kayo flashes (bc they can be unturnable) will have some level of significant impact.
