The price tag he carries with himself is only worth that much when a certain character gets a broken buff. That doesn't mean he is not one of the best players of all time. What he has with his mechanical skills is unique. Its just that he's not worth that much currently when they can get similar results from another player on that roster.

Well that comment started with 'his current form' is world class' guess who is fking retarded now and also a single bo3 when teams don't even have any footage and that too with a new squad doesn't prove anything. Smartest Canadian Loud fan lmao

Getting a team full of stars that can't gel well together is way worse than having a bang average team. I am not even talking about C9 here coz they have pretty good players that have solid protocols and better discipline than most teams.

His current form is world class and wydm 'hasn't done anything major' on international stage? He was pretty good on Chamber last year on LANs. Its was him, Leo and Trexx carrying Guild while Russ used to drop stinkers. If by achievements u mean trophies then I am pretty sure u will agree that Loud were dogshit before their champions wins isn't it?

still stuck in Lock IN??

Current KC can beat Sentinels. Pipe down bro ur teams dropping a stinker

Lmao without my Optic core I can't, useless lurks

Embarassment is phoning in a stand in as the best controller just after 1 game lmao, Mako is going to Tokyo and will make a good run with his team. Marved will do a watch party from his home. Its amusing how to try to turn this argument into Marved vs Mako all time debate just because you can't counter what was said before

Yup one series and he's the best. What amuses me the most is how he's not gonna make it to Tokyo but still will be in contention for the best in the world spot. Like that just doing less and getting mentioned alongside players that are make deep runs in tournaments. Mako is still better and actually win meaningful rounds for his team

The truth? U mean him not getting a single kill in like 6 rounds so that it helps FNC mount a gigantic comeback on Loud's backyard

That's Chronicle but I'll allow the recency bias

Americas can only shit on the import lmao, Ardiis was doing well in FPX and even on teams like G2 he did decent. Shitting on him won't make ur team better. They were comparing Crashies with Leo and Shao before this match but I have never seen them disappear like that. Especially while playing Initiator. Bad game is a bad game for everyone, if anything its more pressure for the import.

Its obvious but seems dumb doing it against a team like Leviatan

NAVI convincingly defeated Leviatan and Leviatan looked better in Lock IN than they did now.

I mean they were like the top 2 teams in NA after Iceland Masters 1 in 2021. People used to call it the El Clasico of Valorant back then, I still remember Dapr on Cypher knifing Hiko on split.

Nothing just 2 overhyped teams that used to be good ages ago are getting their viewership from fans that don't want to move on.

Don't worry someone here will now say that its a brazilian phrase and since we don't speak their language, we can't understand it clearly. Funny how so many people misunderstand it. Must be very tricky.

CHRONICLE HOLDS THE LINE till this day is the greatest caption to a valorant related clip.

Supernova, clown of valorant

Exactly!!! Now how many champions trophy did NA have after that?

They need like 4 of their top players to overperform every round in order to match an above average Na'Vi performace. If like 2 Na'Vi player go nuclear then it will pretty one sided.

Really well played especially after people stupidly assumed that its 'Twisten and Friends', the rest of team stepped up big time. Leviathan showed levels on map 2 and snatched win on map 1 with their individual poweress but really won shit loads of rounds due to extreme luck. I can't remember one round where I saw Vitality slipping up, they gave their all and were pushing constantly. Nothing to be ashamed of here, the crowd as usual was asscheeks, bias is understandable but atleast cheer for the underdogs. Probably would have cheered if the venue was different. Nonetheless, great match by both teams.

Dude's acting as if its Yoru's fault lmao, it takes 0.5s for Yoru to Tp, Chamber takes 0.1s(borderline instant on LAN). Playing Yoru like Chamber will do that to you.

Funny how close those odds are to the no of maps Optic and Yay have lost against EMEA lmaooo

More like the consistency you have on giving braindead takes is too strong, you need special medical attention kid.

Average 5 year old NA kid response. They probably feed u guys 5 gallons of copium as soon as u are born since that's what burger brain needs instead of actual nutrients lmao

Don't care about Tarik, he baits a lot. Asuna is clown, thinks he's hot stuff but literally acts like a average twitch viewer.

This bozo copes harder than anyone on this forum.

They bout' to get shit on and then people will clown them on social media and then they'll cry about how they are getting cyber bullied.

Imagine how boring it must be to play him lol, just sit there with an op and hold an angle till eternity and then after couple of round pop another op but this time its a broken one which literally awards you the easiest kills that you can find in this game lmao

Bro ur own team said they got shit on by Gambit on scrims, pipe down. Even FPX who defeated Gambit at last qualifiers said that 9/10 times they would've qualified but they just got unlucky and ended up with the 1/10. Cut out the recency bias lol, Gambit have been part of too many iconic matches to get disrespected like this. Their quality shows, nobody can deny that.

He lacks the explosiveness of a Duelist and neither he is able to make creative trap plays like other Sentinels. He is embodiment of a boring agent since 2 of his abilities are literally guns. Theoretically and Lore wise aswell its super weird to see a agent with 2 abilities as literal guns being more powerful than agents who literally have supernatural abilities.

He is also now holds the role of main opper and believe me nobody wants to see an agent stay at one place and hold an angle for most of the round, its just super uninteresting unless it involves some crazy flicks. Riot utmost priority should be to make sure that Chamber doesn't end being Jett 2.0.

It took a war like circumstances to prevent EMEA from finishing top 4 in a masters event, what was NA's excuse for being dogshit at champions???

Yeah except you win Masters to get directly invited to Champions. That's like winning Europa League to get a Champions League spot. Don't worry bro NA getting rekt by almost every region during Champions is not gonna change even if you apply the major/minor logic to this lmaoooo

What do u mean by a direct match?? Wasn't Gambit slaughtering Envy/Optic 3-0 at the finals not a direct match?? And you have to be really smart to think that NA teams can beat Gambit when Optic themselves have said they got smashed out of the wazoo by them during scrims

Bruh the recency bias in this place lmao, 'yay', 'aspas', 'heat'... cNed literally carried Acend for like an entire year and probably will continue to do so. He has a major to show for, these other players haven't even won a masters trophy yet let alone a major.

Acend is called the best Bind team itw while cNed plays Sage on that map and still outfrags his duelists. He really doesn't have to abuse broken agents for having an impact since he is naturally good at operator.

No offense to Yay, he is up there in the conversation of best player obviously but folks here seem to forget that this is the first LAN event of the year and still there is a lot more to come. This is like saying Broky is #1 CSGO player in the world since he has won Katowice while being the MVP and guys like ZywOo are not even top 20 lmaoo

Really wanted to see more Yoru on LAN, welp gotta hope PRX goes through to see more of it...

Nice jinx bro

Underdog run is good till it ends in a disappointment and eventually benefits the wrong teams. Like in Champions League right now, Villareal knocked out Bayern and Juventus from the competition but now they are missing their captain and most valuable player to a hamstring injury that either will last a week or for rest of the season. This directly benefits Liverpool who will have a easy route to Finals.

Zeta was always good, even DRX had backed them up after their loss against them in this event. KRU though was different, they took out Sentinels in a kind of 'no respect' fashion which imo was necessary. And then when everyone thought that it would be all EMEA semifinal, they took out a well coordinated Fnatic team. Their match against Gambit is the best Valorant match ever played in an international LAN event so that speaks for itself.

Also it happened at Valorant's first ever major so it weighs more. Zeta is great, no disrespect to them.

That's a fair take because a lot of people do say that he might never be meta, honestly I think if he does not then Riot will try forcing him into the meta just like they did with Viper. I hope he becomes a good pick though because and believe me when I say this, he's super fun

I get your point tbh but I remember when Gambit choked against 100 thieves everyone was trolling them hard, very few people actually considered that it was their first International LAN event and they can make mistakes too...

Brother the rework came out in this act only, gotta give some time for teams to try him out. We literally have seen teams like M3C struggling to run Omen on Icebox after the recent buffs, expecting them to learn Yoru from scratch in such a short amount of time is not at all ideal.

They rework outside of the ult has been very good. You can do a lot with the clone and fake tps, internationally as everyone has pointed out, PRX have done a great job with him. And they haven't even started utilizing him completely, give some time and you'll see how he eventually becomes a good pick.

It always gets me how people still think Yoru is weak lmao

I think they are busy shitting on The Guard rn, Optic has actually done well in this tournament

This dude acts like good teams can never lose a match lol, go home pal just like Guard are

Quite possibly one of the worst things I've ever seen in an International LAN tournament

Bruh there is barely any delay to his Headhunter. He can literally spam that shit like its a fucking classic except the fact that it can also 1 shot the enemy at any given distance.

And you would think the delay is only absent when he is using his weapon but nah, the gun pullout time is just as bad, he can literally miss all 5 of his ult shots and you would think that now you can close him out and kill him but nope he will instantly pull out his Headhunter to 1 shot you like this brother didn't just miss all of his ultimate shots. Its actually amazing how well Val devs have worked on making sure that certain agents like Jett, Chamber etc will go unpunished for their mistakes.

I wonder how many players are high ranked just because they are Jett/Chamber abusers.

Imagine unnecessarily harassing a group of players just because you were salty that a team from your region got caught using a exploit against them and then the same group of players go out to win the biggest tournament that this game has seen till date. Must be fun getting embarrassed like that.

I mean ofcourse aren't you like three months old?? Makes sense you won't know him.
