probably gambit beating envy

i dont watch streamers so idk how good he's at sentinel. but if the need was to ever arise, he would definitely be capable of flexing to that role.

he literally has like 4 games on controller and that's while he's playing duelist. and he has never looked bad on controller. sentinel is not a difficult role to learn and neither does he have to flex to sentinel when cryo is on that role in that team.

im down for alym.

Duelist: Alym
Flex: Asuna
Controller: Zander (IGL)
Sentinel: Cryo
Ini: eeiu

HC: literally do not care just exterminate zikz
AC: no zikz and i'm happy

i wanna emphasize, no zikz if it wasnt clear before.

extremely valid take

flash initiators aren't in the meta anymore you're right, but notice how i said flash/flex that role also includes agents such as yoru. eeiu cannot fill that role and cryo on yoru is omegatroll. you're either baiting or just don't watch the games.

i don't really have to send any paragraphs to prove my point because youve already seen what ive said. if he gets dropped so be it, i'll be happy for him. the team is a curse.

cryo is not the future of anything. he's a good player yeah but that doesn't mean he's not a problem. do tell me how he's been keeping the team afloat though. i'll be honest with you, the biggest problem on the team is the coaching. the players are good but the team is awful. if they get a good coach and drop zikz they'll be good. even with this exact 5 lineup.

i'd say looking at stats makes you more braindead than thinking that cryo isnt the future of 100t but you do you. again, hope they drop asuna so people look for the next guy to pin the blame on when they realize the team is still garbage,

spd and ninja storm go hard, megaforce is aight

theres no way you just said cryo is a good yoru player and also said this:
Asuna can literally only play initiator (which is stupid cause Eeiu is on the team)
lost all credibility right there itself. initiator isnt just one role, it's split into recon and flash/flex. eeiu cannot play flash initiator, he can only play scan.
asuna is horrible on duelist but is a great flex and should stay as 1 on the team. the moment they get a coach that stops griefing his roles youll realize that.

nonetheless cryo is a problem on the team but i feel it can be rectified if he tries flexing onto sentinel. being good at jett means nothing when that agent is not meta and likely wont be meta anytime soon. his yoru is not good, its acceptable. being able to frag on an agent doesnt make you good at it. just makes you a good shooter.

prime feels light as hell, reaver feels heavy (vandals)

People still complain about the players and ask for roster changes as if the problem isn’t the strategy. W post though

Well yeah that’s because that’s what the team needs from him. You wouldn’t ask Derke to randomly get on viper would you?
Asuna has a natural aptitude for utility, he can play any agent to a decent level.

this is the thing that i'm tryna say here. he plays like this because he's on the wrong role and more than that, he's been ASKED to play like this, it really shows. if they didn't want him playing like this, he'd have stopped by now because he'd have his whole team + coaches hounding him for it. he's been asked to be insanely aggressive and sometimes it catches up to him. he has to go in and die. sometimes he really forces the issue.

when i said they don't play together, i didn't mean they're literally all over the map. i meant as in they dont peek together, they don't trade eachother etc. and while yeah you can say this is because asuna is always head of the pack, this also goes both ways. sometimes his teammates are simply playing too far back. my point is, they don't play together. and the blame for that doesn't just fall on asuna.

also, picking out a few rounds to show that they do have coordination doesn't work. they're a t1 team of course they'll have their moments. generally speaking they have next to no coordination. this issue has existed for years. a clear indication of horrible coaching.

being on duelist just brings out all his bad habits and bad tendencies. i want them to maybe drop kess for a good duelist like penny or timotino, then move asuna to flex while moving cryo to sentinel. it's experimental but i believe it has high potential. also 110% drop zikz i dont care if they even play without a coach. he's a terrorist.

(replied to the wrong post mb)

i fully agree with you with the point that he is very inconsistent on duelist and a low floor. but his ceiling is genuinely really high even on that role because he is mechanically gifted.

he overheats a lot and this issue was rectified by sean when he put asuna on flex, and asuna genuinely looked really good on that role. his utility usage was immaculate and still is to this day.

he is objectively a good entry, he doesnt always get the kill when entrying but his whole role is to go in and die and make space. that's the role they put him on. i don't agree with it because i think it's an awful gameplan. but they send asuna in to die so cryo can trade him. i think this is a massive waste of his talent and he should just be put on flex. yeah, he generally tunnel visions and overheats a lot, but this is an issue he has when he's on duelist. this isn't really a thing when he's on flex.

he plays very individual, but this applies to the rest of his team as well. he simply stands out because he's the tip of the spear. if you actually pay attention to the whole team, they're always split up/ doing their own thing. they have next to no coordination. that's the biggest problem with this team. they don't play together unless its on bind and even there it isn't that great.

bottomline is, he's an extremely talented flex who's put on duelist and is sent in to die. this brings out his negative tendencies and wastes his talent for flex. it's the same thing that happened to tenz in 2023. he was still on duelist often and played like absolute dogshit. then they switched him to his new comfort role, and they won a trophy.

"and then realized Zikz is a fraud and you’re not winning anything without him"

PLEASE fix this, even if it's a typo im deeply offended

the day i was cursed to support this god forsaken team

where did i argue that his brim isnt good, my point was that it is not the best. i was saying that its not hard to be good at brim, meaning if you got someone to replace him they could play brim as well, it is not a hard agent, anyone on that team could play him. t2 level = i just dont think its on the level of the t1 controllers who play astra.

being able to shoot on an agent doesnt make you the best at it. cryo isnt bad on brimstone but literally a toddler could play that agent. his astra is decent but probably t2 level

I think keeping Zander as controller igl is better imo. I also wanna add that penny is probably gonna be on the market, so hes a great option as well.

Duelist: Penny/Timotino/Alym
Flex: Asuna
Controller: Zander (IGL)
Scan Ini: eeiu
Sentinel: Cryo

HC: anyone but zikz but if they somehow get potter that’d be nice. mCe is good too.

Bro Cryo is a natural baiter and not an entry player. This is simply how he plays and in the right system it can work. Calling him an entry player is absurd cope.

Because then Asuna would still be on duelist and him and Cryo would still have this weird sometimes Cryo is duelist sometimes Asuna is duelist shit. They need a solidified duelist who plays all of them. Also Asuna is too inconsistent on duelist but has incredible talent for flex.

m4 save my team bro please

deadass didnt even see top 3 and dont really care for other teams but ig,

americas: 100t, nrg, lev
emea: tl, navi, fnc
apac: zeta, t1, drx
china: fpx, blg, trace

americas: 100t, nrg
emea: tl, navi
apac: zeta, t1 (mostly meteor)
china: fpx, blg

babybay.

and that right there is the worst team in vct

no reason, just cope. mibr gotta be top 2 worst teams in vct

no

all they gotta do is drop zikz bro. i promise you this team will get 200x better if they get even termi. they need actual drills for coordination, feels like im watching a ranked game. dropping kess for an actual duelist like penny wouldnt be bad either imo. then shift asuna to flex and cryo to sentinel.

ALSO GET A PERFORMANCE/MENTAL COACH IF THEY DONT HAVE 1 ALREADY, PLEASE.

that's what im saying. tenz and sacy are overall better due to their consistency. but bang and n4rrate have higher ceilings than them, that's why this team still does have a decent chance to win. all it takes is for them to be online.

im not saying that they're gonna win, but this sen team has a higher ceiling than the 2024 sen team. they're just more inconsistent. but because they have a higher ceiling, they can easily just go on a run if their players happen to be in form.

fun for you maybe. and you're right that you shouldn't take the game too seriously. but that doesn't mean you try to cheat to win simply because you find the streamer's reaction to it funny. the guy streaming is a person playing the game and he's in an unfair disadvantage. adding a delay ruins the interaction. just don't snipe. you wouldn't like always losing to someone cheating would you?

(this is probably bait but whatever)

drx and loud from like 2022/2023 gotta be up there for ascent no?

im down. i think he needs a team that lets him play for himself. i also think potter is a significantly better coach than zikz. right now the guy just gets misused and his talent is wasted on 100t.

Saying just “a bit of the price” is putting it lightly man. He literally just sacrifices himself almost every round for the team. I honestly just want him to leave and find another team. 100T is cooked

He just needs to leave and find a team that lets him flourish as a player as opposed to putting him on a role hes not good on solely for some other player to succeed. The guy has crazy talent as a flex but 100T just wastes him.

You right, but at this point I honestly have kinda just given up. There’s always gonna be countless posts from silver players saying that Asuna is the problem and he should be cut. I’d this org disband and all the players find some better team. 100T is nothing but disappointment.

Hes a good player. 100T is just a bad team and has been for ages. They have good players but as a team are awful. Look at bang, he was decent on 100T and looks incredible on SEN. These guys would legit be like 20x better if they slotted into some other team’s system instead of staying on 100T.

The player quality isn’t the problem. 100T is just an objectively awful team. The only reason why they ever win games is because of individual talent. Whether that’s Asuna, Cryo or whoever. They legit have no coordination with each other on any map besides bind and even that I don’t wanna confidently say they have coordination on. They’re decent - good players and are an awful team. Been the issue since 2023.

or just -zikz, that works too, i literally do not care abt who they get to replace him. -cryo -zikz

50/50. They either win both maps 13-4 or they lose both maps 13-4.

If 100t beat C9 and LEV beat NRG, then 100t are guaranteed champs as long as Sen and g2 make top 2, correct?

since 100t has a pretty big fanbase, theres a lotta fans that look at stats and dont have a huge understanding of the game (one guy comes to mind), so they just think cryo is the second coming of god lol

the only solution is splitting sa and na tbh, one side will always have a disadvantage if theyre combined

best take on asuna ive seen so far instead of blind hate.

his natural playstyle is super aggressive and 100t REALLY play into it. so when he can just easily aim diff the opponents, he farms. but if the enemy team is actually competent they play around it and shut him down, which makes him look like he should never touch duelist again.

cryo plays like absolutely nothing that's meta, so they put him on yoru and his yoru is acceptable. their whole gameplan is asuna go die cryo bait him for the trade. i'd say thats setting cryo up. sometimes though, asuna kills them all instead of just dying, then it looks like cryo isnt being set up. but most of the times, asuna's job is to die and cryo trades him, then you see how they set everything up for cryo to succeed.

they have it in them to make champs. they just have to lock tf in. theyve looked like headless chickens the last few games but theyve shown that they have it in them to be competent.

if they lose however, to eg of all teams, i have no words.

if 100t lose this then nadeshot gotta pull out of valorant as a whole

damn that's stupid as hell. ty for explaining though

if 100t somehow get 3rd, theyll be on 10 points
if nrg get 4th, theyll have 9 points.

nrg won the most recent match vs mibr, and lost a match to mibr earlier in the year so they should be 1-1 in h2h. idk if ewc is counted but if it is then nrg is 2-1 vs mibr.

wouldn't this mean that if that scenario was to happen then, 100t would qual off points as 3rd seed then nrg quals as 4th seed due to h2h?

unless im wrong somewhere
