im coping and saying its a off game combined with C9 life game but Lev might expose them hard
loud looked better first two weeks with an assistant coach playing. we will see next week
better by what metric? you're just looking at who won and lost, LOUD was saved by so many hero rounds (lukxo 3k twice and a 4k) near the end of Pearl vs ENVY, and that is the worst form of ENVY before they figured out their roles
week 2 they both got shit on whatever, envy figures out their roles while mibr dogs loud ok
week 3 loud looked lost against G2, even though that second half of haven had some disgusting first deaths and mistakes by jawgemo
the argument for LOUD > C9 needed LOUD to play coordinated against G2 the way C9 just played against MIBR. this is the first game i've ever seen where Zellsis has regularly outcalled the enemy igl
C9 was just not a real team for the first two weeks they were just wandering on the map seeing what stuck. Envy was better but still not good and won C9 quite comfortably. Loud was a slopfest but they were at least giving some flashes of potential here and there while essentially 4v5ing. and i do not think C9 played well enough today to justify the placement
Furia got exposed by Kru but MIBR got exposed by CLOUD NINE look i cant really do that
kru shit on furia, mibr lost in 2 ot maps that could have gone either way with a clutch here and there
also furia almost lost to EG so.
Furia didn't have their coach so EG results are taken more lightly although i am thinking they are very shaky rn
Next week MIBR might pass them depending on results
Depends how they beat them, they could very well be top 3 if they actually look convincing as a team and not just individual hero moments. Like similar to how KRU are looking
It’s kinda like GENG beating PRX
Despite C9 beating MIBR (barely) they have a -21 round differential, consistency and previous results matters. If C9 can maintain this form later only then they deserve to be ranked higher
Prob because this is supposed to be a list about the entire stage form and not just a game
MIBR was looking good until today. C9 was looking really shit until today. theres a reason it was an upset. C9 is not suddenly a top 3 team
There is something very wrong with any list that suggests a top 4 team could lose to a 10th place team.
I know C9 are less likely to make playoffs than MIBR since they didn’t play as well in the previous weeks but I don’t see much of a point in making a power ranking based on likelihood to make playoffs instead of actual perceived strength of roster since the standings already do that for you.
Even if you think MIBR had an off day it’s still a massive disservice to put C9 at 10th when they should realistically be 6th or 7th, either that or MIBR should be lower.
It wasn't a top 4 team losing to a 10th place team because this is current placement after the match. It was a top 2 team losing to the very last place. There's a reason why its such a big upset. It is not on likelihood on making playoffs because then it would be separated since Envy might make playoffs and NRG doesn't because of groups; It's simply a average on the stage performance. C9 good signs today don't negate that, based on their shit ass past performance from the last two weeks, this is much more likely to be a life game than a actual rise in form. i cant put them on 6 or 7 simply because NRG and SEN are more reliable to be in form
Competitive valorant isn't arm wrestling. It's a tactical team game with a multitude of factors at play and sometimes upsets happen.
If C9 does start winning after this and MIBR play like shit then such a list would begin to reflect that, but you can't tell me right now C9 is better than half of the league after they also just lost to 0nvy
