from winning champs to having solid other teams like old furia, to now having the 4 worst teams in americas. the only top class players are still less and aspas, both of which are from 2022 which means nobody has risen since then

Idk personally I woulda went for sultan he seemed better but what’s your thoughts

Wouldn’t be surprised if they all just resigned everyone after meteor munchkin and Lakia realized that geng is easily the best and most promising roster. munchkin literally said only lft for 9 hours, it has to be geng

GUNTER is the best 1:1 replacement

with how successful they have been recently in their business, riot should consider them for franchising again when they do a revaluation

I swear there was a clip of asuna saying at one point that if bang ever got kicked from 100t then asuna would leave voluntarily too

it has to be Reykjavik 2022/Copenhagen 2022 overlay with the big agent heads, that shi was so hard

literally the best replacements along with being very reasonable. n4rrate is very likely to happen anyways but Gunter and zander have strong chem with johnqt and kaplan as well

https://x.com/zander_fps/status/1835462598957084847?s=46
Zander said insane calls to net hinting that net is the igl now, I’m pretty sure it’s been Zander since nitr0 left tho

i REALLY hope they don’t get Marved, they are better off with someone less established like skuba

I’m pretty sure sova has just always been his favorite ranked agent

they should literally have no reason for all 3 franchised teams being the bottom three in 2025 with the amount of talent in galorys and 2game. Plus there’s so many other players from teams like The 7 and Stellae gaming who who didn’t make ascension but still played well and some of those players should be considered too

apparently some polish people can speak Russian so it would be really nice if they could get a a fully russian speaking roster since there is sm talent in the cis region

bro imagine if we got an off season event full of famous matchups that are show matches
examples could be:
optic vs loud 2022
Edg (haodong) vs paper Rex
Kru vs Lev (any version of either tbh)
FPX vs DRX 2022

There are def more I’m just forgetting but this would require them to put together old rosters so it could be difficult but definitely fun to watch

bro literally in the past two years, turkey tier 2 has proved to be the best tier two system for players. Wouldn’t be surprised if there’s like at least 2 Turkish players in every emea team atp

personally keeping Melser over Nzr to have a proper smokes player bc they alr have heat and saadhak as initiators so don’t need a third one

so sad to see that they are prob favorites to win emea ascension but can’t even have half their team in vct next year because they are under 18

the champs 2022 playoffs was such an underrated bracket, every match was so close

for me:

production
Champs 23
Champs 22
Champs 24
Champs 21

Song
Champs 21
Champs 23
Champs 22
Champs 24

and eeiu easily clears

also a really good choice tbh

Tbh I would prefer to retain the same roster and maybe just add an analyst if they need to but it’s probably time that Sacy would want to go back to Brazil for a new project. In that case I think the best case scenario replacement would be eeiu since he is probably a the best NA initiator atm and it also helps that he is a free agent. Another good second option is Derrek since is also a free agent. Trent would also always be good but would have a buyout attached which isn’t ideal.

What are yall current score and percentage rank for the champs pickems?
im currently 147 points and top 1% rank.

yeah but on the international stage they need to be more neutral

am I the only one noticing that they are glazing team heretics for whatever and only talking about ways that heretics can win and are just downplaying sentinels in whatever way that they can. Both pansy and steel are doing this but especially steel imo

bro vitality got the easiest upgrade with -kicks +hiro

+whole OXG roster
-reduxx because he’s too young
+OXY because he’s the best replacement for reduxx
optional: -Dapr because he’s alright ig
+aproto or +Add3r

if hes staying in Americas then its fs c9 becuase he would never become an assistant coach and esp not for 100t and major language change issue at loud

just because they did well in group stage doesn’t mean anything
they have a crazy track record of going through every group stage to every tournament they qualify to besides champs 2021, they always choke in playoffs

pretty crazy to think that newer valorant fans don’t even know that fpx was not only a Europe team before but were also the best European team in 2022

-mindfreak
+primmie (make him learn controller over offseason)

I know ppl can argue to remove one of Davai, forsaken, or Jinggg but becuase of how high their peaks are as players, it would be very dangerous to let them be free agents because some team can pick them up and use them more effectively and then eventually taken down paper red themselves. This is similar to how 100T wasn’t using Derrek correctly but he looked miles better on EG.

they would swap the sova role depending on maps which isn’t as reliant anymore because having one set sova is more beneficial

my intial thought it the obvious which is -kicks +leo but then there might be a role issue between trexx and Leo becuase they both play that main initiator sova role but I think it could still work if they move trexx to flex because he has played agents that kicks has played a decent amount. He’s prob had the most success recently as the main initiator so hopefully he could have the same impact on flex

they went from being at champs 2021 final with masters Berlin winning team gambit and that very same champs winning Acend to playing 2024 emea ascension play ins ☠️

insane how much they fell off

wouldn’t there be a conflict of interest if team liquid Brazil hypothetically qualified to the Americas league through ascension since team liquid is already franchised in EMEA. I’m pretty sure this is the reason why cloud9 white had to disband bc they weren’t allowed to play in American challengers as cloud9 were already franchised.

ez for kru and vitality

phd dr.p

the map is so big and there is so much tech you can do with Astra to make ppl fall off with the suck or stun. Boo played it very well against fut and showed a lot of tech

actually no because im a kayo and Skye player and I don’t like breach for the same reasons

didn’t realize that xeppaa has somehow never played breach before in pro play even hes been player flashers like kayo and Skye for literally forever

Nzr is a solid igl, he’s igled on Furia on both times he was there

they were better off keeping klaus until the end of the year to maximize mat learning his new agents

nzr would only go back to lev if they offered him which I doubt would happen considering how much they payed for C0M and how much better of a long term investment he is, also there’s a good chance c0m would do well in champs which would secure his spot

they are already pretty solid but if they wanna maximize their all latam roster, the best move would probably be -mta +nzr.
mta isn’t that bad but he isn’t that good either, he’s just alright and Nzr is probably the best latam initiator available. although Furia were getting better, he definitely would much rather prefer the Kru team. Also we already know Melser doesn’t like igling even though he’s pretty good at it so Nzr and him could co-igl similar to dephh and ayrin on xset or they could give all of the igling to nzr

bro posted this before it even happened so they wrote vitality instead of heretics ☠️

ppl forget that bro was somehow one game away from making champs

I’m pretty sure this is the second time that Shao and Ange1 have swapped roles and near champs they always end up swapping back to what has been working for so long: Shao on imitator and Ange1 on controller. For whatever reason Ange1 wants to play initiator so bad so shao has to be forced into controller even though he’s more comfortable and WAY better on initiator

they always loose 6 games then win 5 games so that means they have 4 games left to make champs which is def enough s guaranteed champs essentially 🤙🤙
