Shiro cooked in the finals tbh

Exactly who I had in mind after I posted this

List em down right here please

I think it's an actual law because tier 1 valorant is an actual job now

Duelist or not, OXY is still an amazing player. I guarantee you that if they let him play a sentinel like kj or cypher, he will still do great. Sure, a duelist needs confidence but a good duelist is open to flexibility and adjusting to what their team needs. Sayf is an example for VIT, despite being one of the highest players of EMEA, he still played whatever they made him play because he's a good teammate.

Still going to be very heartbreaking though. I'd understand if it was something like champs for a franchised team because they know they'll get a chance to compete again the following year. For BOOM on the other hand, they're a tier 2 team that fought almost more than a year just to get where they are.

I genuinely believe that BOOM are just better on Bind and will win this all

Famouzin too

Chill out, BME just took the lead, my guy

The casters in the lower final of FS vs BME was one of the best I've ever seen. The game felt like a freaking Champions final my god. The emotion, the hype, everything was just sooooo freaking good, I feel like they should've been the ones casting the Grand Final. (These guys aren't bad though)

Mako's game sense is better imo. Plus, mako can igl meaning the value he provides is just way higher than Karon's

Get rid of anyone on the team but if they get rid of mako, they will meet an all time low. No one can even come remotely close to being as good as mako in Korea

They may have been interested for a while but I don't think he's leaving EMEA.

Really? Hmm. If so, they better pick up an igl like Kr1stal

Doesn't riot require AT LEAST 2 players from the team's respective region to play? e.g. since GE is from apac, they need to have at least 2 players from apac on their team. As far as I'm concerned, none of these players are from APAC

I feel like they should make at least 1 change, idk who they pick up or who they replace though because if they don't, they'll probably end up like FNC 2023 not making any changes in 2024 - decent but nothing special

Ohhh, damn alright I can see them winning this entire event if so

Wait, so does this mean they can play with jawgemo by then? I'm kinda confused please explain

Didn't they drop icy? They can't officially play with jawgemo until october 7 because he came from another teir 1 org so who's their 5th?

I will go ballistic if they take sayf away from the role (duelist) that he has dominated on for years. Sayf's raze is much better imo and Derke isn't really that good on neon AND sayf can op more effectively. They should just let derke play yoru or just not sign him at all if that's the case. Moving sayf off of duelist is what caused Vitality's flop of a kickoff and stage 1 and bringing him back to the role is what qualified them for champs.

Oh I see I see. Couldn't find his age anywhere sorry lol

Everyone keeps on saying xeus and kajaak (they are insane, no doubt), but what about Comeback? I was very impressed by how well he did this entire season, he's surely a good option, no?

Good point but I believe he'll progress but I'll just list down the other good replacements for ange1

Anima
zeddy
sociablEE
Rose
Kr1stal

What's wrong with magnum? ):

Completely unrelated to the thread and whatever I say has nothing to do with DSG. but isn't leo an initiator scan player who uses odin and phantom most of the time? Maybe that's why his hs% was so low but overall he was still impactful as a player.

I believe he can get the job done if he works hard enough. NAVI was losing rounds because ange1 was losing his own duels, they were playing 4v5 most of the time.

I said "at the very least," meaning they should at least get someone better than ange1 and magnum is arguably better than him, but there are better options than magnum without a doubt, I just meant that they should get rid of ange1 or make him AC

Solid but replace ange1 with someone like magnum at the very least

Is it Emman or Chulo? I can't seem to find any information on who it is. But whether or not the igl is chulo, TS need to prepare a contract for him right now

Like I said in your recent thread, you are defeating the entire purpose of Ascension. Ascension exists because it's designed to give opportunities to players and orgs that were unable to make it into franchising because of their lack of fanbase and finance. If we're gonna keep complaining about how a team without a "fanbase and identity" ascended into tier 1, then what's the point of riot even having a tier 2 system? Also, who cares if they resell cds? Riot is rich enough to not give a fuck about that stuff

Exactly

xand was good, BEFORE in 2021-2022 lmao. Only reason Furia looked better with him this year was probably because he was able to play anything they let him play, making everyone else on the team play on the roles they're comfortable on

True, but there were qck (on sentinel/viper), dgzin, xand and heat. Tuyz and Cauanzin were also really good but were still very young

Finally, someone who made a Brazilian powerhouse without Less, Saadhak or aspas

Feel like it's just an absolute no-brainer to keep him cause of how flexible Xeppaa is. He's basically baby Zellsis

G2 also wants Derke

GG Kr1stal slammed them

They are getting fking rolled rn lmao

Oh thanks just saw it start lol

...

Well, at least they have better replays than the americas

Thoughts or predictions?

Yall think they can win ascension? It'd be really cool though

Bang is better mechanically, imo

Great move, but 100t would be really stupid to drop bang. He's their best player alongside Cryo

Comeback

G2 needs to replace icy ngl. Someone like OXY, sym, koalanoob, or maybe even aspas lol

I just said that Mako was better man and it went all the way to this wtf. But fair point, whatever, I lost, you win. Tired of typing all this when I can be doing my math homework lmao. His Omen is still shit though lol I stand by that.

Hear yourself throughout this entire thread, I never said he was the worst or 2nd worst player on the team. Nor did I say that he was an awful smokes player (but I did say that his Omen was awful lmao no denying that). And Omen will still remain in the meta for sure, no reason for him not to just because Astra got buffed. He's never touched Viper because he can't play Viper??

Hey man no need to get angry, my entire point was that he couldn't smokes on a team by himself, they need someone else to fill the role for him when the map needs an agent that Demon1 can't play.

But here's a better suggestion, let him play Sentinel. He said it himself that he played Cypher and KJ on the reserve roster of EG before he subbed in for BcJ
