It is kind of unfair but if we are weighing it on why they're going for that nationality.

TS = doing it for the Filo hype / the community.
RRQ = doing it for profits therefore not getting Indo players.

Nobody is forcing you to agree though. Each to their own really.

Conflict.

1.6 then got hooked into TF2 then got CSGO

OOF I actually want this BnTet as a leader for an Indonesian team and his first debut in pro-Valorant albeit having experience in the T1 scene in NA/EU CS as well is really good.

Eh there are other players from other orgs who are at least better mechanically than the other 2 players from Secret.

Then replace Fayde with maybe an EU/NA coach with a shit ton of good analysts they might do well.

Not Xerxia but TS just because they're a bigger org alone.

Too bad Vanity didn't see this like 5 moves ahead.

Out of all the 2.0s, this is my least favorite. Prime and RGX 2.0 is at least S tier.

Yes because Tyloo is the one who is owning the Asian CSGO scene.

111-120

Around September but they're gonna announce it in August.

As of right now, Intel. But I'd rather wait for the 7000 series from AMD and based on the leaks, the 7600X looks like it can beat the 12900K but that's just an engineering sample.

Doesn't disregard the fact that some team named after some type of vegetable almost lost to a team full of streamers.

Now I am worried for TS then if they ever move on against ONIC G. If TS keeps fucking up, it is at least a 2-0 or 2-1 for Bleed.

Delusional take but sure. You do you 🤷

ONIC is not gonna fall for the Breeze pick anymore so they're probably gonna insta ban it for sure. But I am leaning more towards TS unless Dubstep and Witz keeps fucking up their shots again. 2-1 TS/ONIC

I expect a close match then.

I wonder why they didn't ban Breeze against TS? hmmm.

First Domination W? ay yooo

I'd honestly try out replacing dispenser first before replacing Dubstep but yeah I get you, Dubstep is inconsistent as hell.

Yeah nahhhhh. If we are talking about top 3, it is between Faze, 100T and NRG.

Either way they better have a really good counter strat against one of Bleeds map if they ever want to go to Istanbul.

+1

It is fine to maybe have like 1-2 boomers but having like 3-4 is yikes. Here is my last take on this though, they can keep Witz and Jeremy however both of them needs to have their own role in the team instead of a flex, maybe one of them can play flex of some sort but one of them has to take the Duelist role even more. The other 3, just get rid of them, poach an international talent or get a few in the country to play for TS.

Yeah have an experienced IGL which there is a ton in their country who can bring in new starts (considering franchising only TS is the PH team who can get in) and do the same to fill in the roles or have a role change. EZ

Here is the thing though, they looked off since trying to qualify for Masters 2 and Masters 1. So I am not basing this on a loss in LCQ.

W BIG DICK(STACY) NRG

2-1 TS or 2-1 ORDER. I am leaning towards ORDER winning this match up considering TS keeps fucking up their comps alongside Dubsteps whiffing.

EDIT:
Also considering DickStacy is their coach and I ran a sticker combination on an AK47 in CS

BIG DICK NRG

Either way, the team needs a roster change or at least needs to incorporate Jeremy into more maps. I get that removing at least 1 from the core (4). I feel like putting Jeremy into a duelist role gives him more freedom to move, unlike a Chamber/Flex role that makes him a bit quieter on the server.

They're probably trying to counter strat Bleed by putting Dispenser on Viper but that didn't work. But still tho, so many mistakes from TS.

Eh I guess they are if they haven't changed their roster. Literally got lucky that Paper Rex was shit back then and wasn't able to pull an upset against at least 1 team, and that's why they got into Champions.

Age diff, fundamentals diff, coach diff, discipline diff

APAC Moment (2). Especially that one peek by Jremy on Icebox yikes.

That's not how it works. If the players are shit, then the players are shit. They really need to incorporate Jeremy into more maps instead of just Breeze and Icebox.

Honestly, after that match, there is no way TS will ever win the grand final against Bleed (if it were to happen) if they're not gonna include Jeremy in most maps. Like Breeze is definitely an insta ban against them so why not put Jeremy in the Chamber/Raze role in Bind or at least make the double duelist strategy works once more if they're gonna keep Dubstep? But honestly just get Dispenser out.

Or NIP if you've seen him play CSGO

But they can. Sounds edgy and sounds "kind of" cool.

It's either a 2-1 Bleed or a 2-1 TS but I am a bit more confident that Bleed wins considering they looked more dominant against AE.

EDIT:
I would actually love a Team Secret L against Bleed so its an LB run to Champions

Eh maybe. Still doesn't disregard the fact that both sides are just shit to each other so hmmm.

You probably haven't seen LCQ YT chat then. Both sides are bantering so you can't really side with one.

Eh I mean it still works against teams who don't have a way to figure out a counter strat.

And there is a reason, it is because of the Xeta and Curry switch which means Vanity and their coach has to rebuild/adjust their system in order to do well which they haven't been able to do because the switch happened so quick. Which is kinda shit on C9s part because at least what they could have done is to just play with Xeta until of course they end up getting eliminated or actually win Challengers then just build a system with curry.

Do it pussy lmao.

NA = 100T or NRG
EMEA = M3C
APAC = TS or Bleed (Reason for TS is due to the fact that if they have improved their map pools over a span of a few weeks while Jeremy is consistent all- throughout the entire series, they are gonna win for sure.) (Also Bleed is a good contender because to be fair they did take a map off Paper Rex in APAC Challengers, and off the bat, they looked pretty good as well.)

SA = KRU and honestly don't know who else because I am not really focused in that scene
EA = CR, DWG or NTH

C9 honestly has a chance of qualifying. But NRG and the others are good candidates as well.

Not really. Maybe against old Paper Rex but not this new one where there is actual chemistry.

Woah hold on, Team Secret is also a big org besides Bleed yet they're still shit. Go on.
