Biggest "onliner" performance in Val? (allat)

Who flopped the hardest in their tournament debuts?

1) GUARD Trent during Masters Iceland 2022.
Lil bro was supposed to save NA but didn't have that dawg in him. One of the biggest choke jobs we've seen from a rising star, was unstoppable on wifi but the lights were too bright IRL. I think he's redeemed himself with this Ascension win though. Now that he's back in tier one he can start to change the narrative and get back to a VCT LAN. Either way the gold standard for the term 'onliner'.

2) EG Demon1 in Masters Tokyo 2023.
Technically not an onliner because Americas was on LAN, but 'spiritually' an onliner if that makes sense. Still hit some crazy shots in Tokyo but wasn't who America needed him to be. I guess we'll never know what could have been if he was even half as good as his league play. Hope he finds his form in Champs.

3) SEN Zekken at LOCK IN 2023.
I know he played in Champions 2022 but tbh I didn't watch the second half of 2022 Val because SEN wasn't in those tournaments. Anyway this was a pretty big flop because of how hyped he was as a young prodigy coming to SEN. I don't want to flame him but as a SEN fan I was let down really hard during that cursed FNATIC bo3. The good news is that he's quickly reestablished himself as the best young player in NA and makes a fearsome duo with TenZ. I trust and believe he will take us to champs under jimmy and kaplans guidance. Expecting him to pop off hard on 100T tomorrow.

If you have any other suggestions let me know! I don't follow EU and Pacific as much so I don't have the necessary background on those players.

Qwertyy in bronze clears allat

Demon1????? Bro should not be on this list

it's trent's first LAN. give him a slack. c'mon. he already proved himself in ludwig x tarik inv, and ascension brazil

biggest onliner would be 100t derek

The reason for Trent's performance at Masters https://dotesports.com/valorant/news/the-guard-coach-mce-says-trent-usually-listens-to-music-wasnt-allowed-vct-masters-reykjavik

GUARD Trent - first time on LAN, underestimate pacific team PRX thinking NA podium hierarchy etc. PRX players says Guard players talk so much trash (NA culture) for first timers on LAN. Got absolutely destroyed by W gaming citing excuses like LAN jitters, not used to aggressive playstyle in NA and ended up getting humbled.

Also about the mCe drama stuff, the guard started first, its NA culture (go figure) and when PRX says stuff back its just a return (u believe jinggg is that kind of person??)
