Couldn't agree more, + changing obs because sometimes... well

About agents: If you're interessted in Omen it's a good first agent to play, he can do everything, play for team play for yourself AND most important in rankeds no one want to play smoker, it's insane, so playing with Omen as first agent isnt a bad idea, if you had to chose between breach and skye I suggest you breach, because playing Skye require to be often with your spell in hands and so, not very dynamic. If you come from CS pheonix is for sure a good agent but the problem is most of ppl already insta lock duelist so, it might be a problem and Sage, like Omen, can do everything so might be a very good first agent, special mention to Reyna who's probably the funniest agent in the game if you like to play duels

About meta: For pistols it's rly up to you, I personnaly like to play with ghost no armor, but some ppl play with frenzy or with classic + armor, it also depend of your agent, sometimes you can't afford to play with frenzy or ghost because your spells are needed for pistol round (for example Sage has a strong kit for pistol round with wall slow etc). For Vandal/Phantom as you said it's rly up to you, I personnaly play almost only Vandal, but on CT side I play phantom sometimes, depend of my feeling. Second round I mostly play specter on CT, some ppl prefer stinger or bucky (which is probably gonna be nerf soon) but bulldog is rly a thing if you aim properly, it might be a bit expensive but it's worth imo, this weapon is rly underrated. And about Operator ye it's alot different than AWP in CS, the operator doesnt allow you to do crazy thing like some ppl do in CS, except with Jett, but for example no scope in Valorant is way more innacurate than no scope AWP in CS, the weapon is rly made to be a sniper, in CS you can almost do everything with an AWP.

Well, sry if my english is a bit broken but you know, being french and if you want to hear more about changes, nerf etc Valorant are making really great patchnotes where they explain every decision they make when it has a huge importance on playvalorant.com

Ye that's I said "org" and idk if it was supposed to end up like this, I'm almost sure they didn't plan to keep the team for years but they probably didn't expect to not be able to meet its commitment

Well, I don't think players asked for a better salary, just the "org" (cuz I'm almost sure they werent supposed to invest in a team) couldn't meet its commitment, no one were signing Opportunists which was already 1 of the best team in EU, they took the opportunity but at the end they can't handle it

Ye, that's what I thought, BDS rogue misfits or LDLC

It's more complicated, they can't handle it, it's not about releasing and then look for an other roster to get, they are not strong or rich enough for it, no one signed Opportunists so they tried and wanted to see if they could meet their needs but at the end they couldn't, and I'm almost sure they knew it since a longtime

Well, some ppl used to say he's toxic, maybe that's why he got benched, anw the 3 names I can see are: ec1s vladede and I heard they are testing Happy right now but this move would be weird, let's see

Ahah, seeing all this comments on vlr and what I saw on twitter, it makes me want to watch to replay

ceNder is known to be 1 of the best Breach in EU, feqew is a solid Cypher main, M4CHINA is gonna play Sova with this team, he played this champ at the beginning of the game but recently he mostly played Jett so he's gonna need time to perf with Sova I guess, bramz is the captain, IGL and main smoker of the team and Vakk is the star player, Operator + Jett player

It prove you don't know anything about EU scene KEKW

They're going to build an european team, it's too hard to focus only on france/belgium maybe in the future if alot of french players are good enough to compete for tier 1 events

M'allez hein!

Until G2 didn't say it publicly he wont say he's benched, but you can trust the info he's rarely wrong

So NiP ruined Guild to bench Sayf few weeks later ? lel

Because they didn't make alot of progress, while some teams like Heretics, SUMN FC or FPX did. It's a bit like Liquid with their 4 UK players, they were beast while beta and at the beginning of Valorant with Ardiis (Playing for FISH123) but look at them now, they are struggling too

Well, he's known for leaking alot of news about roster change in CS already and he's rarely wrong, they wouldn't release this news if he wasnt the kind of person you can trust

I think FPX is better than G2 atm

FBtouchdown OPPORTUNISTS

FBtouchdown OPPORTUNISTS FBtouchdown

Project SW are having hard times, but keep a look on Opportunists, it's a french team with Logan and rodeN also HyP made a new team with fearoth bramz Jinkz and laaw, can go far

Still no org for 1 of the best EU team, hope it will change if they are having great results at first strike tournament

Well, TenZ had a bad first pro experience on CS and daps was the leader of this team, there is a world where maybe TenZ don't want to play with him again
