BBL has been super close to the top all year. They had a close match vs heretics and a liquid. Now they beat them. Thats not surprising in the slightest and doesn't worry me terribly.
Compared to kickoff other team just caught up to liquid. Teams with players like KC, Navi, BBL all should be right there with them. Now they closed the gap and are closer to fulfilling their potential.
KC dropped most of their bad comps and play closer to normal stuff now and ....shocker.. they are much better now because their players are insane.
If Liquid wants to be a consistent top 3 team in EMEA they will need some roster upgrads to the core
Yes I understood you the first time.
I'm saying I just watched EP vs BCF right now they were playing on Haven. And the level of valorant felt a lot higher. Less individual plays, better strats, individuals making good plays when they need to.
I'm not talking about the overall level of EMEA T2 or even the overall level of BCF and EP.
I'm talking about specifcally comparing two games on the same map (haven).
They're basically playing back to back. And imo EP would've beat KC or TL on that haven if they played the same as in the EWC qualifier (NOT STAGE 1).
Because imo TL felt off. And I'm saying ofc a KC fan wouldn't think that because their team won and they would want to beat TL at their best. But I don't think they were at all.
well
vitality are probably going to stay with cyvoph because they probably like the role he fills
navi look really good with ruxic, i wouldn't expect them to change that
liquid look really good with keiko and imo if they were to change anyone, it would probably be serial and maybe patitek if they want
I think Patitek plays to a good level, and also probably brings to the team what we don't see. Also a bit of a vibes merchant. I wouldn't change him.
Serial I think is still being unfairly underrated and hated on, but I could see them dropping him if he can't adapt to the new roles fully. We will see in Toronto.
