Potter is the most overrated coach ever. EG fanboy are still on what she did 2 years ago
they were 4th in their group with loud going 0-5 and 2g. calling EG "top 4" after winning against KRU and C9 is a joke.
ngl
nature is a very good player
supamen and derrek been solid players in NA
not necessarily top players, but after playing for a year together, its no surprise that they're doing well
im just impressed at how she managed to make icy do actually decent and how she brought yay back
prx?
something has pop off maps but hes just a part of prx system not neccesarily carry
whzy is just as good as rarga
slowly is the best fragging igl
Serial is actually good
BBL make toronto
Revenant makes top 4 ascension
G2 zero trophy this year💔💔.Perfect val gonna become a meme the way they gonna collapse.
Pacific is the strongest region right now and will continue to dominate in tournaments like in LoL
i can say that reaver now is kinda meh and still top 5 maybe the prime, i put primordium, prelude, kuronami gaia prime then maybe araxys rgx, I like the reaver but ow that we have so many good vandal skins i think the reaver is now not in top 5
maybe ive just used the reaver too much so it got boring, it was my only vandal skin for 2 years when it was released. prime is just boring theres way better. rgx overdrive champions21 all better than prime
Without much pacific/china viewers (timezone), Toronto going to be a low viewership tournament.
- Seoul Champs 24 (9.1 millions)
- Masters Bangkok 25 (4.3 millions).
- Champs LA 23 (1.8 millions).
80% of viewers from china (7.28 million).
Without EDG in toronto, its gonna drop by A LOT.
no where near EDG level tho.
Toronto gonna lose out on many CN and JP viewers.
They are, but the gap is still pretty large nlg. If you just look at just the bilibilli streaming site you'll see that the grand finals between XLG and BLG only has like 330K views while the qualifier match between BLG and EDG has like 900K views. And just in general if EDG has a match in vct, the views easily reach min 500K.
must've. It was the perfect storm. CN 1st year in partnership, favourable timezone to watch for viewers and watch party etc.
t1 bangkok was miracle run, their stage 1 nowhere near 50% of what they've shown on masters. At least for EDG downfall it was justified, there is internal problem.
Ninguém minimamente chegou perto de performar o que ele performou em 3 anos de carreira. Ele ficou top 4 no Stage 1.

eu so me expressei mal, digo que no momento há outros melhores que ele, mas como a thread fala e so minha opiniao particular mesmo mas sim ele eh um monstro
Leo can't be goat, bro is not playing the game like 1 year and Valorant is almost 5 years old
False. I will be a coach within that time period and absolutely dominate the scene.
Kap don't got this aim...

ehhh kinda mid. I can tell ur playing swifts or bronze lobbies. poor off position would be util dumped at the start there like it always is.
k it definitely is bad lobbies. wtf was that comp?
"I can tell" ... please post any clips by you. I would love to see your expertise in action.
lol... clown said "I can tell" ... this community is so wild with their opinions with no basis in reality.
this is what propaganda looks like on the dumb. copy/paste. i bet you say protocol and masterclass a lot.
N4rrate's Mentality isn't bad, It isn't the best but people make it seem much worse than it really is
look at the top 5 players thread and miniboo is everywhere
most people think miniboo is top 3 minimum rn saying he's top 1 isn't a hot take
where in top 5 of anything you saw Miniboo make an appreance
are you just making shit up to make a narrative lol
https://www.vlr.gg/487828/best-duelist-itw-rn
sorry not top 5 but best duelist itw thread
miniboo is mentioned the most and has the most upvotes so I'm assuming most people believe miniboo to be the best duelist itw rn
Majority of hype around aspas comes from his regional performances. If you only looked at his international performances he wouldn't be glazed nearly as much as he is. Still an insane player but a little bit of a region farmer
That's why I think Zmjjkk is closer to GOAT status than aspas
LMAO Zmjjkk's international career is NOT better than Aspas'. If anything he is even more of a regional farmer. Both were champs finals mvp but Aspas finished top 3 in champs 2 more times and in 2 different teams at that + 2 times masters second place, Zmjjkk's international resume doesnt even come close to that
Recon phantom is a mid skin, just placebo effect. Oni and nocturnum clear by a mile
ACTUAL FACTS DUDE HATE ALL U WANT RECON IS SO MID ITS ALL PLACEBO. magepunk/nocturnum etc >>>> . Most valid hot take in the world
Initiator is such an overrated role that too many teams try to crutch on because they think they can cook up the perfect preround play. And even then, Kay/o and Gekko are generally played so poorly relative to what they're capable of
Since Tejo is getting euthanized we should be seeing a lot more Deadlock, Viper, Harbor, maybe even Sage and Phoenix, but frankly most teams are not willing to experiment like that
truth most teams are competing not the be the worst instead of trying to be the best
agree, EXCEPT for harbor, because that agent SUCKS on pretty much every map besides for Icebox. For that to succeed, it needs almost telepathic connection to your teammates in teamplay - best teamplay i can think of is G2, and frankly they can't pull it off either.
Harbor just needs a straight up reword. I mean, he just sucks. Phoenix should be better, higher pick rate I expect.
Though I don't think it's bad - with good team play, I think initiators are one of the best roles. But you MUST execute together and KNOW YOUR LINEUPS, otherwise you're cooked.
Amy Nelo SRN Sarah Kamiyu
Obviously not entirely sure but yeah they could probably have mid/decent stats in t2 but nothing crazy
Noia made it into tier 2, they (SRG) just fell out after first split, they're playing relegation soon.
well they included sarah and they literally said sarah from srg, and im not talking about her making it into tier 2 with her own team she genuinely deserves a spot on a mid-tier team that can consistently put up a performance in tier 2 lol
Unless I missed it earlier, before clarification I don't see the mention of Sarah from SRG directly, there's so many sarah's in GC same thing with mels lol - and also yeah I agree she could replace some of these scan players with no issues, I am almost 100% certain she would've pugged her way into tier 2 if GC didn't exist as a gateway
Anyways she has another chance to prove herself, lets hope its gonna be better this time around
well they included sarah and they literally said sarah from srg, and im not talking about her making it into tier 2 with her own team she genuinely deserves a spot on a mid-tier team that can consistently put up a performance in tier 2 lol
Agree on Kamiyu, somewhat agree agree on Amy, agree on srN, indecisive about Nelo, disagree about Sarah (if we're talking GX GC Sarah)
I don't expect any of them to be tier 2 dominators, I will be convinced a GC player can hold their ground in T2 when they get able to dominate the ladder and go at least top 20 there
Oh yeah she deserves it, she's proven to be a ladder warrior and is probably the second most committed player in the GC scene to play ladder + get better. Shame SRG is held back by not having a 2nd initiator that can properly frag.
Americas are overall the worst region but just get carried by the top 2 teams every year, for example a team like BBL/NAVI/FUT would clear everyone in Americas from 4-12th and could maybe beat MIBR.
well I have also predicted RRQ being the best Pacific team this year, TL being top 3, XLG and Wolves being top 3, and Ange1 being the best player of all time.....so this may also join the list after Toronto 👀👀
lewn on a good day is the best duelist in emea
if trent does well at toronto he will be the best initiator of all time
prx will bomb out of toronto
all gamers would be good if they used the eg method of having a reserve with their subs
(keep in mind, this is my opinion)
why are all the unpopular opinions being downvoted and popular opinions being upvoted lol
shouldn't it be good that they're unpopular
No hate, but what you send MAKES ZERO SENSE, Let me give you an example:
why are all the unpopular teams have less viewers than the popular teams lol
shouldn't they have more views since they're unpopular
THEY ARE UNPOPULAR CAUSE PEOPLE DON'T AGREE WITH THEM OR CONSIDER THEM.
sorry for caps, just in disbelief at such a statement
People that upvotes and downvote don't care about the post, just whether they agree with it or not, Look at my post at #33, even though it is unpopular it got a good amount of upvotes because people agree with it even though not enough people talk about it, so people are downvoting not because it is unpopular but they don't agree with it, which totally makes sense as most takes that are unpopular, have a higher chance of being disliked by others.
The newly discovered shit Omen can enable on Icebox defense side make not running him completely troll. Every icebox comp should be running Omen/Viper/KJ if you want to be taken even remotely seriously. The other two spots are very flexible though.
This second one hasn't been showcased but I'm like 80% on the best Haven comp post Tejo being Pheonix/Neon/Astra + ofc the standard Sova and Cypher. It checks all the boxes you need from a comp whilst still being able to do the defense/retake Ult cycling of the Iso comp, the aggression and setup hits of the Breach/Neon comp, and the lurk pressure and postplant boost of the Viper comps. It's definitely harder to pilot too, though.
Newly discovered? Lol omen cryo when 100t picked him up before lock in was when it was created
you can be pedantic and say rediscovered but 100T didn't exactly popularize it, and neither did later uses in T2. It wasn't until icebox came back again that many teams looked at it seriously.
FNS has always been a good IGL. It just that his aim and mechanics that overshadow his ability to call strats and midround in which he's the best at doing so
there's still no excuse to be playing t1 with those mechanics. You get payed to play the game then you completely ignore one of if not the most important fundamental when all it takes is 1:30 a day VT aim coaching, aim training and dms.
(Ik i'm gonna get downvoted heavily)
Trent is the best initiator player in the world rn (edited from Tejo because apparently people agree with that (where's my haters now))
most people using this site are way beyond stupidity. I mean just look at this thread. it said "unpopular opinions" but all I see are common opinions that everyone has (examples: #4, #13, #98 and #87)
you'd be surprised by the hate i get for saying trent is good with his rocket spams LOL
RRQ Kushy will farm master toronto and prove that the pacific regional competition is tougher
Pacific gets glazed as the deepest region because for some reason they get a pass for doing objectively bad plays. Half the shit that gets called in pacific would get a 5 minute platchat segment made about it if an EMEA or America's team did it, but its passed off as "pacifics style".
Lets call most teams in this region what they are, extremely streaky, confidence based teams who can massively over or underperform based on form. They're good, and can obviously win events, but to pretend like they're clearly the best region is so laughable I don't know why its the dominant narrative.
China is getting better and better every year. They will dominate the game in the future.
EDG dropping s1mon is the second worst roster move this year after NRG dropping verno and bonkar
secret could've been 5-0 if they hadntried the double duelist gimmick earlier
