I think if Loud made playoffs they would have made Toronto.

I don’t think it’s cope, but I wouldn’t say it’s unlucky either. They threw their own games and there is a world they are 5-0.
They should though? Charizard for example is literally a dragon but not dragon type.
bro who says this, i have literally never heard this in my whole lifetime
like nobody thinks sandaconda or arbok or some shit should be dragon types
a dragon type starter would be unbalanced and ruin the natural progression of the game, especially the og gen 1 rby games, a dragon type final stage starter would just be game breaking
logically it should be a dragon type, but it doesn't make sense within the lens of a game design aspect
He could just be a weaker dragon type then, Keep all his stars and just change him to dragon type how does it break anything.
Starter pokemon all are supposed to have types that counter each other. grass, water, fire, they are the 3 types.
If charizard has the dragon type fairy type isnt even existing and ice type makes 0 sense for blastioise
Then why is Charizard even a starting Pokémon, it just seems like it was the creators fault
Okay so you want to change the entire course of pokemon history now. He's the animes golden child why would one of the most used pokemons by notable trainers be a non psuedo or starter?
I’m not saying you change it now I’m just saying when it was created it was obviously a flawed concept.
Either teams don't know what the point of scrimming is or they're useless because the amount of teams that I see do well in scrims only to fall off or even teams that do alright in scrims but you watch them and there's like no indication they practiced much of anything or maybe that's just me
I think in general people overrate scrims, they don’t mean as much as people believe them to be. But you’re right, some teams definitely don’t know what their doing with scrims.
FNS and S0M doesnt retire. They stay and win stage 2 with brawk getting kicked
No, a hot take is like saying that G2 will go 0-2 in playoffs. They’re objectively a favorite for Toronto.
maybe you are right, but it doesnt really make sense to me. probably just a portuguese-english semantics issue
A hot take is something that can be debated but the majority believe otherwise. Your take is just wrong cus there isn’t another team that’s shown as much as G2 as if this moment.
I get that they just won americas, but what they've also shown is being two rounds away from elimination against 100t and eg
My point isn't about any team in particular, just that you can't assertively say someone's take is wrong in this context.
Every team in the past two years has proven to be fallible, and Shanghai was the only tournament with a relatively predictable end result.
Most likely your right, only team I’m worried about is G2 when it comes to tejo.
an actual hot take in this sea of lukewarm takes:
aspas is mid asf, got carried in his only tournament win and keeps himself relevant by popping off on irrelevant matches, but whenever push comes to shove he performs way below standard, especially in international events
I actually agree with this👍 aspas has never been the best player on any of his teams besides I think mibr.
to be fair i think Less was our best player that year but its not crazy to say that it was Aspas even thou i dont agree
less was a close 2nd but it does say a lot how the team brutally fell off after he left (saadhak schizophrenia aside)
lol you are a lost cause if you think he wasnt the best on LEV and now on MIBR, like actual hopeless levels of stupidity
How? Both have lost 1 masters final, 1 champs final, and heretics has 1 more regional lost
Heretics 0 trophies (region and international)
Prx 2 trophies (regionally)
Imo Heretics are 4 rookies that have massively exceeded expectations and lost 2 grands where they came from lowers and still went 3-2, all within their first year.
PRX have crumbled in important matches in which they were mostly favoured (remember they beat EG in uppers for example) and fell apart across multiple years.
I dont think we can equate the two teams until Heretics choke across multiple years really
but you really cant say alot about heretics because they kinda only played for a year so you gotta wait
4 finals losses is a pretty big choke, if heretic didn’t choked more than them, then I consider it to be even. Prx had pressure of being the first apac team to win a trophy.
if loud made playoffs it would be because they would be actually capable of closing out advantages/winning a game so it might be true tbh
It would definitely be true, Loud were so close in every game but couldn’t close out.
Pheonix criminally underrated, in particular on Haven. Pearl he's being considered seriously but teams have been kinda trolling on him and Tejo existed so...
For Haven theory, with an Astra/Neon/Pheonix you've got all the same attack side strengths as BOTH the Breach/Neon and Viper comps with a good fast ult to cycle that works excellently for the many defensive retakes like the Iso/Yoru comp intends to do, and makes up for Neon's costing more.
You defend more like the Iso/Yoru comps. Yeah, all the individual util pieces are slightly weaker alone but in the bigger picture the biggest loss is no Breach wall flashes so your Pheonix has to be in Iso spots instead of Breach ones (better for fragging) and no Omen off-angle tps, but you can experiment covering that with the unique stuff Astra dissipate brings instead. You've also got Astra and Phx util to imitate some of the Viper stuff in shorter bursts which is enough to break up hits or at least stall for rotates where you can hard flood retake like you want to on Haven already.
I kinda like this idea ngl, the flood retakes have always proven to work on haven really well with good util setup and positioning. You could pinch and fast flank really well.
on Icebox i agree but other maps without the verticality nah
id like to see it experimented with though
smoke + TP is way too slow compared to dash. defenders would win at least one round just jumping in the smoke and killing him
And your hot take is copied from that other guy that commented that on my post. This bit annoying are you like in a discord server all commenting that?
no, I'm on my break on my job and dont have the energy to go through all comments :)
if you truly are just a normal person (which I already doubt) the fact that more than one person is linking you to Elysium should make you worry
How exactly does one come to the conclusion I’m an alt? What have I done that says I’m that guys alt? And why should I worry people think I’m him when I’m a regular person?
No regular person is this oblivious silly
And most of what you post is engagement/rage baiting, this is the reason
How do I post ragebait or engagement? Can I get some direct comparisons to him or examples? Or is your break gonna be over before that.
buddy you JUST made a post about mako
this is what I'm saying by no one is this oblivious 🥴
also no matter the data and arguments people show you, you never change your mind
anyway I dont feel like arguing with someone feigning ignorance
Are these also elysium alts then?
https://www.vlr.gg/481584/boaster-mako
https://www.vlr.gg/472117/mako-and-dos9
Are the people in the replies elysium alts too? https://www.vlr.gg/480341/are-we-getting-a-return-of-2022-mako
I've shown every person that has criticized me that I was right. The end results is never an apology.
Hosting a qualifier in a Tejo based meta then immediately nerfing him into oblivion for the tournament you qualified teams for is braindead.
I disagree not because you are wrong but because they technically aren't the same team throughout the entire period so technically they can't be the best unless they do well this year (top 4 finishes at champs and Toronto is enough for me imo)
Thats fair. Im not being so clear here. Im thinking more about their gameplay so far this season.
Obviously, teams will keep on getting better and better as valorant progresses. Current G2 would shit on everyone in 2024 besides maybe EDG
more garbage teams should try to be like Karmine Corp and make some interesting compositions. (im not saying karmine is bad btw)
Yeah some teams should maybe try and switch it up and throw new stuff at teams, sometimes it worlds and catches them off guard
So instead of debating any of my threads you come to me and insult me? Nice job man👍
Deadlock is the best agent in the game and only got overshadowed because Tejo was insanely busted
5 India player in T1 is vital for the future of development in India, we must endure few year of 0-12
-
Yoru was nerfed because of Tejo, if the agent did not exist, yoru would still be the way it was before the nerf
-
KC will reach top 4 at champs and vita will get grouped
-
(Colder) G2 will reach every grand final even the champs one.
Yoru was definitely nerfed because of Tejo but the changes were good and needed a nerf.
Kc aren’t making champs
G2 won’t make champs final
KC are def not making it to champs.
G2 is not making to every grand final, upsets happen yk that.
T1 didn’t get worse after bangkok, they’ve been playing the same way all season long and their win was a fluke bigger than acend’s
Then that would mean APAC is multiple levels above every other region, not a hot take
They’re not, which is why DRX their best team went out in groups. T1 just began growing as the tournament progressed but it was never about tactical improvement.
Their success was entirely comprised of aura and hype moments, not quality
No, they most definitely got worse. Just look at the prx game and how they played.
Both something and jinggg will dominate if they move to other team and play as dedicated entry duelists
-
No trophy win was a fluke or fraudulent (unless it's true that Gambit was forced to play on very little sleep).
-
Tejo was never that overpowered, and his perceived dominance spoke more to the general playerbase's aversion to taking risks earlier in the round to reduce util-heavy late rounds.
-
If Harbor had received his rework/buff by now, Tejo's pickrate would have plummeted even without a nerf.
-
Sova is the most annoying agent to play against.
-
Cypher, Omen, Astra, and Phoenix are the best solo queue ranked agents.
