Trade xeta and Autumn at their peak of performance for curry, which absolutely kills their synergy and starts their biggest decline in NA org history

Emerald or platinum, they are just perfect games through and through in my opinion.

Mada at 10 is crazy, dude has more consistent kd than half this list

Believe what you want, but yays chamber is what caused chamber to get nerfed so badly

Aged like milk

What happened with M80 and Ambrosia?

I think mwzera is a good player but he is tragically inconsistent. I think people try to rank him too high for his performance. Even tho these performances you showed are good, they are very cherry picked

Man acting like he didn't igl Optic which was one of the best teams in the world before franchising

Both really good suggestions

Nothing honestly, I like him as a player but i just feel like there are some better talent that would make a more uniform team

How would yall fix the NRG roster to make them a contending team?
My roster changes would include:
-FNS (IGL/Sentinel)
-Ethan (Initiator)
-Brawk (Initiator)
+Skuba (Sentinel)
+Poppin (Initiator)
+Kyu (Initiator)
Either Poppin or Kyu could be igl with the other helping with mid round calling
-s0m
+Reduxx if he decides to not participate without FNS

I think what he is saying is that when FNS had a stacked lineup that he put together, he failed to be able to do anything with them. Then when they picked up cracked t2 players, he still lacked to do anything with that lineup. His kd always had been consistently bad with rare performances, ever since his return from his competitive break his igling has been subpar

You mean if Optic team just rebranded to nrg They would've been worse than picking up Ardiis? Yeah thats cap, considering they just left champs finals and had an amazing competitive year. They probably wouldn't have been #1 but they'd still have their team synergy which was shattered as soon as Ardiis filled yays role

A fraud in 2022 is a stupid statement, he was washed after that year tho

At least decent kd and play calling. Seeing how the team is countering strats of other teams.

Not a bad pickup after losing Bdog, hopefully we can see food come out to play!

Are they picking up victor?!

Honestly YFP with the Bdog pickup stand a good chance.
YFP 2-1 TSM

Wait and find out

My man, you late to the game

That's what i said

I feel like a lot of emea teams haven't found synergy yet, they feel like they're 1 swapped out player from being contenders. They gotta get it situated sooner, hopefully they'll figure it out before the next Masters

Kangkang has been the most consistent when it comes to oping, plus some of the shots he hits are absolutely mind boggling

Wardell was only good at oping when everyone was fresh at the game still, he had initial talent and nothing more

Not during their peaks, overall tho I can agree

I don't know if I'd say this will top it, but C9 traded (while they were one of the top NA teams, possibly the best at the time) a player and their coach for a player who was an unseasoned bowl of curry. This absolutely dismantled their synergy and started their absolute pitfall to one of the worst NA teams

Nah fr, T1 over PRX

Most the teams had 1 player with covid, not over half their team

Not 1 NRG player being radiant, how they've fallen

Leviathan is basically a NA team at this point

There is more to team line ups than just kd alone, they have team synergy and there is no reason to mess it all up cause their could be better players out there. Plus his kd doesn't always represent his skill, his round impacts are what keeps him a good player even with a slightly negative kd.
Think about what happened with C9 when they replaced xeta with curry, they lost all synergy and they fell apart while they were at their absolute peak

Nah, i just watch the stream in the afternoon. I don't have time to watch it that early, plus I get to skip any timeouts, tech pauses, map intermission, or anything that isnt the actual matches

I'd have to disagree with leaf, for not being on a duelist role he is consistently carrying their main duelist all the time. And even when he was their main duelist before Icy he was cracked. Don't get me wrong Jawgemo is really good but for the time being I would have to say leaf is overall better

He hit like 1 out of the 10 op shots he took after the pacing of the games picked up. He was elite when the pacing was still slow and steady

We're you even watching the pro Val scene back then? They literally won the first major NA tournament

I'm almost certain they could've defeated kaguya without her jumping in

"Took down sasori" like she wasn't being puppeteered

That's only if you look on the surface, kinggs igling has a lot to do with their performance

1 player vs 3 players is one stupid comparison

nitr0 for sure, maybe his return back to Val was underwhelming but he was successful in CS and at the start of Val winning first NA tournament

He has smoked players that are considered top 8 in NA but he isn't considered top 8 in NA while also staying consistent? Make it make sense my man

Who would you reckon is above him in rifling in America that is also that consistent? And I want 10 since you clearly don't think he is top 10

G2 is a good team but definitely overhyped for their most current results. They got inta eliminated without picking up a map in champs playoffs and also lost their last game to Clown9

I think he was underrated heavily by the bias Sen fanbase. Didn't even take in his personal achievements just his teams shortcomings

Sure he is in a terrible spot but when he was gonna get signed from t1 he had plenty of other options, he just went for the highest paying which isn't always the best option. I'm not saying i don't feel bad for him since he was pretty young when he signed his deal and I think there should be a contract limit at that age range but sometimes you just gotta lay in the bed you made

Try Dove anti-dandruff shampoo, usually comes in a kit with shampoo and conditioner. 2 in 1 can ruin your hair but if you don't care I have come to know head and shoulders as the best overall working brand

1. I personally use Dove dandruff shampoo and conditioner bundle, 2 in 1 will ruin your hair
2. Cereal first, the milk fills the area the cereal doesn't fit and gives you more cereal. Plus helps you get the right about of cereal you want
3. Indian food, especially curry. In my opinion it's one of the most delicious dishes I've ever had

I think EG keeps it interesting, with a coach like Potter who is able to bring t2 talent teams competitive enough to compete against the best America's teams. Also since they are such a poor org they have to keep recruiting new talent when their players are bought out

C9 has been a joke in Valorant all of franchising, they sign players for years then drop them months later

Oh dang I didn't realize Sen had a t2 team
