FNC 3-1 EDG

I just think NAVI's firepower is top tier, and individually shao, zyppan and suygetsu all have been looking great. However, they lose when it matters and its so confusing how.

SEN #0 on the rankings. Obv tenz drops 40+ on every map if they made it

1. FNATIC
2. PRX
3. EG
4. EDG
5. NRG
6. TL
7. LOUD

10. KRU
11. NAVI
12. GIANTS

What do yall think? I'm willing to provide reasonings in the comments.

Got a healthy version of takis and some beef jerky

I mean crashies should be flamed but Ardiis hasn't played well the entire season. In the regular season, he was 2nd worst on the team only behind FNS who contributed a lot with his IGLing. At the level NRG want to play at, Ardiis isn't good enough the same way that foxy9 isn't good enough to bring DRX into the top echelon of valorant.

Ardiis aint it. 3rd highest rating on the team is awful for a primary duelist, especially on a team that really sets him up. Somone like zekken would be much better

This has gotta be bait.

Totally unbiased: FNC vs EDG.

Babysasuke has been hitting recently

Maybe Im coping but I think they run the foxy9 comp to throw off every other team's prep. I hope they beat FUT using the foxy9 comp then use the RB neon comp in playoffs.

I think that stax is the main problem though. His util use is obviously world class but his midrounding and fragging abilities are just below what is needed for a championship. Like think about FNS. He is the greatest caller right now but people still hate on him when he goes negative. Stax goes negative and is in the bottom half of callers at this tournament. I hope he returns to form but overall he looks like the weak link.

Im still huffing copium that DRX is using foxy9 essentially as a decoy to throw off enemy prep. I refuse to believe that DRX (who was the first team to have a full map pool) hasn't practiced lotus at all considering RB is probably still the world's best neon.

Honestly just bench foxy9. I really don't believe in him that much + I feel that he just isn't comparable to the star fraggers of other teams that are in contention for the championship, eg. Aspas, Derke, Sayf. I think best bet is either to drop stax(as crazy as that sounds) for a better IGL or put him into intensive IGL training because the team is built on individual heroics right now. Also I am curious how Termi is coaching behind the scenes, because DRX has had a mid rounding problem for years but it never seems to be fixed. Maybe hire an assistant coach or something because by god the adaptability is just not there for this team.

Sonder owns whatever "seankukuz" is supposed to mean

I agree, anthem goes hard

Maybe not the best teams in the world, but would still wash a lot of franchised teams. Also Zmjjkk top 5 duelists worldwide.

It would probably take CS pros quite a while to be top tier in val. It's not obvious, but being able to use and react to enemy utility reflexively is quite hard, not to mention all the character specific tech CS pros would have to learn. I would say that comparing CS pros and Val pros is not fair and even the level of mechanical skill needed differs between the games.

Bro everyone sleeping on ZMJJKK

I really want to watch virtuoso vs norcal esports. However Nerdstreetgamers is not streaming the match. Is there a way to view the match?
