TL and Serial | VLR.gg

serial is 100% getting benched. the game of icebox against mibr. they might have played comp with their regular team, running kj instead of chamber, as they played in ewc qualifier, even though it was not that successful, but it worked. however they decided to take more firepower playing with penny leaving a clear hole in their defense, by not playing kj. is this over for serial? and who do you think is a good replacement to him?

It’s illogical to drop another player. They’re sacrificing chemistry for uncertainty. Even though he isn’t very good it’s also too much of a risk to drop another player after kamyk

afaik they'll be running a 6 man roster for stage 2 and presumably champs to help with their role issues on certain maps(and maybe give serial more time to pracc and adjust to playing flex), idk what they will be doing in the off season tho

Idk but they shouldnt run a 6 man roster thats just trolling. Either stick with Serial or stick with penny

nah 6 man roster is good. on maps where they'll go double senti/double controller more likely serial plays but on maps where double duelist is good like haven penny will hop in

idk.
However, in order for TL to perform well in Champions, Serial should definitely be removed.
Nats
Keiko
Patitek
Kamo or ?
Penny or ?

How about trexx?

yeah i wouldnt bet on trexx either but there are alot of actual flex players in tier 2 rn instead of pushing serial on it when bro has no clue what hes doing when hes off sentinel.

Kamo is not bad but he is not enough to be top 3 in Champions.
TL needs one more carry player.
With TL's financial resources, couldn't we get Jemkin or Rarga?They are Russians, right, let's bring them back to EMEA.

TL Valorant is not that rich of an organization, apparently. mini implied in a Platchat episode that they are basically a budget team that overperformed their expectations.

kind of strange to hear since TL globally afaik is like top 3 or top 5 richest orgs, but I guess since val has not been out for that long it sort of makes sense

i think the issue is TL is in a few esports already, and are not willing to invest in valorant as much as the others.

only thing is that with penny now you have 3 duelists on the team. ofc keiko is a smoked but on maps like split he would have to perma smoke which would take away from the x factor that he brought on raze vs prx
