also cauan is the fucking truth this guy is cracked
too good for NA. Maybe if he plays with 1 eye and his feet, it would be fair for other regions.
cant really tell if it was an off game or loud is really just overall superior to him tbh.
he got 1 tapped/killed through smoke at least 10 times on fracture, im surprised he didnt start giving up there. his mental was crumbling after those lucky shots and he just had an off day.
spraying through smokes requires timing and crosshair placement saying it happened 10 times in a single match because of luck is coping too much specially since the valorant smokes are small, if csgo has way larger smokes and a lot of common taps through smokes i see this as completely normal, whats really unlucky is that it happened to victor all the time though
nah he wasnt necessarily saying loud was lucky, more that victor was unlucky it happened to him the whole game
No one, he's a really good player, just had an unlucky series. Hell he didn't even play that bad seeing as he still provided value with his util
I am a fan of Victor but he has been the weakest part of every elimination game they've been in. When he's on he's on and he was good against GIA but the most obvious difference in ability this game was between the ability of victor and less/cauan. s0m and tuyz were both playing cracked, the IGLs were coaching well, both awpers showed flashes of brilliance, and crashies, less, and cauan were great. Victor has gotta step it up IMO for NA league, as the rest of the team looks top tier.
But if I had to place money on anything it would be Marved with s0m moving to flex(he'd obviously have to improve his comfort on breach but apart from that he plays all flex agents). It could also just be whichever of Trent/jonahp, nismo, or v1c doesn't make franchising(by far the best flexs in t2 NA IMO, Sick would be there if he wasn't benched).
You're not taking into account that Crashies wants Victor on the same team as him, they have insane chemistry and one supports the other very well.
I'm not saying they should actually drop him, but that's 3 straight losses to Loud where he has drastically underperformed. He has many hero moments to him and a high ceiling, but his low is LOW sometimes. they won't replace him, nor should they, unless something crazy happens, but he's def the guy I'm most critical of on this NRG team.
If Victor goes, I'm pretty sure crashies goes too
They said it before joining nrg
He plays the least thankful role, nobody is consistent as flex player. Definitely not at this level
fuck i lose my brain when i read vlr u read stats and make uninformed opinions the fact you think vic is a weak link blows my mind
vic has the most first engagements on attack on the team because he is always the one who bits the bullet on a hard entry round or taking aggressive space, often even in front of the duelist just like he did before because its needed, he plays to support his team and take the major risks away from other players, you just read stats so please stop talking about roster changes god bless
Alright, lets ignore victor's first deaths. If we're considering eye-test, he's always in positions where he cant be traded or he's unable to trade. Is this just bad positioning by him because of the new team? Because he stands out a lot during trading kills.
Also, you're just describing what victor does. But it clearly didnt work on split/fracture. That's two maps where he got neutralized. So, who's actually the weak link?. I can understand your hesitation to answer who's the weak link on NRG to protect your career. But dont go around spewing stuff from your moral high ground with no solutions or any discussion. Surely, everyone can agree there is some weak link on NRG else they wouldn't have lost. So, either do better or stop attacking vlr users for discussing the difficult questions that you cant answer, trick.
Just went back and watched, Victor died 5 rounds on fracture through smoke and 3 rounds while his enemy was fully blinded. Can’t do much when that happens 🤷♂️
For real.
Stop putting him on sky and start putting him back on Phoenix.
He was arguably the best Phoenix in the world back then.
no change. too small of a sample size right now.
if they fail to quali for tokyo and viktor is the issue then maybe consider it
100% they replaced victor with food. That guy is insane and he has tons of Lan experience and even won one.
