Let me know If I am wrong,
Bans
I don't think Fnatic will ban Pearl in the 1st ban rather they will go for Ascent Ban as LOUD never picked Pearl as their Map pick rather it has Always Been a decider and LOUD will just perma Ban Fracture.

Fnatic Will either Pick Split or Lotus (both Maps are good for Fnatic but it's more likely to go Split as LOUD already have beaten them on Lotus)

LOUD either gambles to Pick Pearl (20-30% chance ) or will go for Hevan and Play Harbour Viper Comp. Fnatic Have already Played against Harbour Viper on Hevan When they played Furia + they can scrim NRG to get used to Harbour Viper on Hevan .

Fnatic 2nd Ban will be Pearl (if LOUD Doesn't pick Pearl) and LOUD Will most likely be banning Bind (Reason Boaster was the 1st IGL to run triple controller on Bind and He knows how to play against it )

Conclusion
Fnatic Bans Ascent
LOUD Bans Fracture
Fnatic Picks Split/ Lotus
LOUD picks Hevan
Fnatic Bans Pearl
LOUD ban Bind
Lotus/Split Decider

TBH I don't really think Something Is Currently the best Duelist Player, His Performance Was Shaky in some Match Especially in Attack side he didn't Shine that much . Also Demon1 is a prime Contender for the best duelist .

Fnatic Coz this time people are Expecting LOUD to win again and Fnatic will do heavy prep work Before the match
Also LOUD never picks Pearl in the 1st place which Means Fnatic Have a Chance to ban Ascent Rather than Pearl for there Match.

If PRX manages to win Champions 2023 , Will Forsaken Be crowned as the best Flex player in the World . I mean he Plays A variety of Agents And He
is Like a short caller/pseudo IGL for PRX too.

No he is not Overrated u guys Just like him for the BM and Tbagging He do in matches . his aim is so good as Night on Fracture He aced without taking a Single shot . He peeked the chart playing controller

Yaa I feel like Less and Alfajer both are just at their Peek form. Last night Less on split didn't lose a single aim duel and don't forget the game was against PRX which have 4 insane Cracked Players ,

Surely but He has to earn his spot back Not currently

Just based on pure Aim whom do you consider in top 5
My list would be
1) Less
2) Alfajer
3) Demon1
4) Suygetsu
5)Jingg

What is Jett ult doing wrong to the game. It's just that the player is hitting some nice shots with those blades

Not monthly Like how In CSGO u have to buy a 15$ prime Membership to play ranked games

So the Game is out for 3 years what changes would you consider to make this game better :-

My take :-
1) Make players Pay a little bit money like a Subscription thing for Ranked and in-game competitive games. this will solve the problem of Smurfing and Players who Play on alt accounts to throw. Like everyone can play Ranked games but People who Subscribe to prime Membership Can only queue with Other subscribers to have A decent game.

2) Agent selection, No insta locking , Players can hover on the same agents. Either Players can discuss Or let game decide who will play that agent.

3) Nerf Shotguns , Shotguns are literally overpowered in this game. Judge especially , that gun can Insta Kill at short to mid range. Increasing price and Decreasing the no. Of pellets With increasing distance can be a good Nerf.

4) skins trade , not now but like In next 5 yrs skin trade should be a feature .

So last official match Played On Breeze was Game changers Championship 2022 Where G2 reverse sweeped SR.
And in 2023 No Offical game was played on the map of Breeze so this means we won't be seeing any official Game On Pearl till Champs 2024 may be longer not even in Champsb

How is Ascent the most desirable map to Watch I can understand that u like playing that map but seeming the Same fucking comp no innovation in agents comps makes it so boring.

Yes We are having a New map Based on LA location

How does map Rotation even work. Do they only consider Esports for Map rotation or normal competitive is also considered.
Fracture and Pearl indeed the 2 most hated maps But I think Ascent should also be considered. The map in Professional level have always Been played with the same comp and Same way. Any team trying to running something New(except PRX) just got destroyed.

Then why call it a Global event Just let every NA team compete give one slot to EMEA coz of Fnatic and 1 slot to PRX rest every region is trash.
This is not how eSports work
Valorant is global Game and Global tournament should have representation from each region .

Let's take a example ,

America is hell trash in Cricket and most players in American team are non resident Indians only but still ICC (world level cricket tournament organisers) still let them play in World Cup qualifiers .

Are u brain-dead. Organisations in Pacific region got slots based on sub region. And why call it a Pacific League If you guys only want Korean and Japanese orgs. I don't get it why you guys Hate this org and Rossi so much . Ok Indian Audience Overhyped him but there were players who played even badly , Talon Had such High hopes after lockin but ended up finishing 9th in Pacific . DFM whole roster was Disaster Still I have not seen any Japanese fan hating on them so much

Quite good Especially on B site and And A cave rework looks better as now teams Have Build early cave control. Mid Also Looks quite good but it feels like more A dominant .

But what is the point of having halls Now . The Entrance is close

Yaa Coz the infrastructure is Very Shit here + eSports Culture is only limited to mobile gaming. You can see that fact that the Richest org in India doesn't have any PC game Lineup

Ok I have said this Multiple Times and I don't know why people don't understand this simple Thing, GLOBAL ESPORTS IS AN INDIAN ORGANISATION, IF THEY DONT HAVE A INDIAN PLAYER IN THEIR STARTING 5 ROSTER PEOPLE WILL GIVE THEM SO MUCH HATE. But it's also a well proven fact that Rossi is not the right person to be on the team but U can kick him out to get another international rather than any Indian player

THIS SITUATION IS JUST LIKE SAYING ORGS LIKE MIBR/FURIA TO DROP THEIR BRAZILIAN PEOPLE AND PICK TIER 2 NA PLAYERS COZ THEY ARE JUST BETTER

Ok I have said this Multiple Times and I don't know why people don't understand this simple Thing, GLOBAL ESPORTS IS AN INDIAN ORGANISATION, IF THEY DONT HAVE A INDIAN PLAYER IN THEIR STARTING 5 ROSTER PEOPLE WILL GIVE THEM SO MUCH HATE.

Deadlock has to be the most useless Agent in the game. No team Picked deadlock at champions 2023. Teams Have even picked agents like Yoru , Reyna and pheonix.

So Sideshow was doing the Pickems and chat told him to pick the opposite winner. Like Fnatic vs LOUD He wanted to pick Fnatic Fnatic but Picked LOUD instead And filled all the bracket and said If this thing happens I am gonna Cut my moustache and put them as eyebrow for entire life . I think the world is just against him RN

PRX. literally Got 12-0 half on Lotus when they played against Fnatic u guys think that with something PRX could have won lotus

Then LOUD's champions 2022 win is also Fluke, Optic had Issues (Franchising next year and They wont be on same team) Fnatic Has issues , DRX had issues

Lol You guys are insane 1 series loss and Everything they won becomes fluke.

Don't forget Guys LOUD won 0 maps at Tokyo too

It's just 1 loss and Why you guys are acting like LOUD won the fucking Champions 2023 They will still get humbled by Paper Rex in next round and Fnatic will be back From lower Bracket.
Also we all can see chronicle had a Bad day and LOUD hard anti strated them and Fnatic are running literally the same agent comps since Lock In .
Say whatever you want if they bomb out of the tournament

Yaa But They got stomped by DRX who were also trying Triple initiator Jett Astra Comp but Soon came back to standard comp

I can't think any Rework on Map can change agents pool , They need to Nerf Killjoy and Kayo or buff Cypher chamber and Deadlock to even compete against Killjoy. Just reduce 1 molly and make Ultimate a little ass Coz right now KJ ult is the best ult in-game

Don't you guys think Ascent is The most Static Map currently in the map pool. No team dares to try new agent composition on that map just standard Kayo KJ Jett Omen Sova.
The main Reason What I can think is Because Killjoy is just Too good on this map and Teams need Kayo to Break/ supress KJ utility.
This game needs a good Sentinal Agent That can Outshine Killjoy deadlock is too bad
I mean we Saw Paper Rex Just picking totally different comp with harbour Reyna But

It's ok Guys Fnatic lost ascent to BBL too NXT is Lotus Surely Fnatic's best map

If LOUD manages to beat NAVI (which they will) and T1 manages to beat FUT eSports (50-50 chances ) then only Fnatic will be only EMEA team to qualify for Playoffs. Knowing EDG will beat Gaints Gaming

I think they are really strong but Having a Kayo 1 trick player is backing them so much

With BLG whezy Destroying NRG on split with his Raze Judge I think it is finally time for Riot to Nerf Judge . That gym is so broken and People in ranked are getting away with it.

Nerfs I can think of are :-
Price :- Increase the Price same to a Rifle may be 2550 or 2750
2nd Range :- damage and Bullet pellets Reduced after 10m range

Why Liquid is shown as 2nd EMEA seed even when they won the EMEA league

2nd super team I would Consider
Victor
Crashies
FNS
Aspas
Som/Pancada (controller)

My list would be :-

FNC Chronicles
PRX Forsaken
NRG Victor
DRX Rb
Navi Shao (except duelist he plays almost every agent )

U are wrong Buddy Optic was the Best team in the 2022 They Won Master Reykjavik, #3 in master Copenhagen and #2 in Champions 2022.

So we all agree to a fact that EMEA is the worst region comparing to Americas and Pacific but The best team in the world Is Still from the worst region in the game

Yesterday (acc to my timezone) Play chat just agreed to the fact that Version 1 is the best team in Game changers But I think they under rated Team SMG , Team SMG is 30-0 in terms of Map winning and they are smoking APAC teams in game changers APAC.

It's better to buy the limited time stuff coz once they are gone u gonna regret a lot , I still regret not buying champions 2021 bundle

Pacific Has to Be Paper Rex with Mako/Monyet instead of Mindfreak

Will we see Fnatic Playing Pearl in Champs. It's there perma ban and if they lose any match Before Grand final They will have a tough time coz I don't think any team will ban pearl against them

Picks Aspas , Sacy , Pancada keeps QCK and mwzera
Potentially good roster

Then suddenly all the rossi hate will go towards him then
Everyone will start hating him

How is better Name One ? The problem is that only He used to smoke Everyone in SA and He never got punished for those mistakes and Now in Pacific He plays the same way he used to South Asia And Every team knows How to Punish That thing .

I don't know if it's true or not but looking at his ranked Games He is Playing a Lot of Sova, Killjoy and Cypher recently after his Lose to RRQ , and Texture on the other hand is just spamming Jett in his ranked games

You guys Need to understand 1 thing Global Esports or GE got South Asian Slot (Especially Indian Slot ) for VCT Pacific. If they drop rossi or decide not to play any South Asian or Indian Player in the team, the same RRQ situation will rise up where everyone will start flaming on them for not playing any Indian Player even after getting South Asian or Rather Indian Slot. I know Rossi sucks Ass and He is the worst player in VCT Pacific but at the same time he is the best Indian Player, He used to smoke Teams Like Orangutan or Enigma (at that time ) and We all know Orangutan is the best team in SA which also got smoked in Pacific Ascension.
