how tf did they lose to fucking NS in Kickoff lmao
because it takes time with a new player? They are also known for having good anti strating so kickoff format fucks them
rewatch the grandfinals in ascension. its actually one of the greatest bo5 in valorant history. game was 50:50, boom was unlucky with the defuse timing and lost mental after that happened and choked. its haunting them
I mean compare them from kickoff to now. The difference is huge, In the past they overheated a lot, unnecessary push and stupid decisions that led to a loss. A complete 160 degrees change ( not 180 because sometimes it does resurface like famouz pushing a alone causing them to lose or shiro pushing garage with spike alone. )
coach change + dos9 enters the team. They've shown potential across tier 2 but finds it hard to be consistent.
It seems they've resolved most of the issues now
They resolved their comm issues... Most people forgot that BOOM never comm in english and only in Indonesian right until Dos9 joined the team.. The team need time to adjust to be efficient in comm'ing in an another language..
And of course new coaching staff played are role too.
Been saying this since kickoff, BOOM would demolish 99% of EMEA and NA teams in Tier 1. Apac is fr the most insane region right now.
Same reason they lost in kickoffs… NS are good. Just can’t seem to beat talon. Other than that they’ve lost two close games to DRX and T1.
