donk would shit on any player every round.. Val players are the sub-par versions of CS players. you can teach pretty easy for him macro/util, you can't teach (and nobody in val is remotely close) to his tracking. this is the most L take ive ever seen

Man is fragging this split, winning every matchup, and is top 5 in rating for EMEA through all those games (top 4 if you remove Cryvoph who played 1 set, but IGLed by Boaster).

Dude is really doing his thing and destroying the allegations.

It was a stab at why they cut Yay a few years back.

Still hate this org and they are cursed for what they did to Yay

'role issues'

he said something, not nothing try reading hehe

Typo in here, his map pool lists agents. o7 Derrek the goat

Is actually happening in the crowd

That was a thrown round holy fuck.. what is leaf actually doing there ->whiffs

You guys used to be the friendly kind ones. Now we got some dunce's in the twitch chat what happened

Not a diehard fan or anything, but their energy is there today. I can tell already, 13-8 | 13-11. Corrode isn't happening

You can analyze the game in a lot of ways, and around the edges this is probably true. This game genuinely came down to Mada catching a rare Yoru diff, those 1v1s were the deciding factor.

It's a different game, I don't see this game as comparable to CS as it once was, for better or worse is a matter of opinion

Dambi is nuts, Neon is gimmick. There are lots of dumbass gimmicky agents in Valorant. It's why player base has declined.

Remember when people tried to say he was the best in the world?

I just hope G2 if they win all 5 shoot and t-bag Lar0ks body and the camera observers show lar0k after

wow

Tell me whos gonna beat this stacked, extensive roster of (Head Coach)?

why is it that if someone doesn't like someone, and they happen to be trans, this is always assumed. there are ppl that do this, but also if you trans, you could just be disliked for who you are too

You do know its 2025 right

I'm in shambles, how am I supposed to feel as a big fan of both?

Only remedy I can think of is Yay and Zander on a T1 team together.

Where do you guys think Zander goes? Yay?

yay

cope

Why did the walrus go to a tupperware party?

To find a tight seal

Not no reason, they got a lot of money from his buyout I'd imagine.

I think NRG should actually pick up Prod

Sacy coming back + the Moroccan guy from Sentinels

9-9 makes this confusing, this could be JoshRT coaching Trent and JonahP on C9. With Penny and Xeppa playing for G2

penny on C9 is exactly what C9 would do, wouldn't be surprised. As penny is someone who will go to any t1 org as he is talented and hungry but has lacked opportunities, C9 feeds on this type of player.

+Sacy +Johnqt

dont say that to me my heart could not take this

This is one of the only lateral movements possible. Very few players that are not a clear downgrade from the Sen z

I just wanna know where Yay is going, where are the rumors for him

Trqstme plays Marvel Rivals not Valorant

I'd like to see that contract, under salary - 'For the love of the game'

Bleed esports duh just rebranded

hes going to MIBR, MIBR gonna sign the top 7 free agents still available for their practice squad/so other teams don't get to scrim them for strat leaks

I think Zander is a great fit though for NRG ngl

Dudes obviously really good, not a flame post about him.

But like, would you guys say he should be less sought after than at least 2, maybe 3 of his teammates as a VCT prospect? Egg/Poppin maybe Ion look like the better players currently, to me.

Thoughts?

Insane team, idk why you put Seven in there though

Seems like NA adapted best to Corrode, certainly overall, why do you guys think that is? Or would you even agree with the statement?

Sao Paolo clears all of these cities in that context lets be real lol

Thanks for sharing!

One of those dudes that is a winner, tangibly and with his intangibles. Everyone has said hes a great teammate, calm/chill vibes, puts the work in etc. Qualities for success in just about any Sports/Esports/Work environment

What stats do you guys all see as the most defining? Which stats encompass all roles to paint a picture of a players impact best (even if stats can't which get closest)?

Ya'll think its Rating? ACS/KD/ADR? KAST seems like a pretty telling stat. Which stats do ya'll look at first to determine a players impact?

Hard to say, I liked FNS's calling better for his shorter time of dominance (Optic days he was IGLing with innovation not seen yet, Saadhak should be mentioned here for that too) but Boaster has consistently had some variance in his roster and his teams have been top tier most years.

However, that talent has seemed INSANE, so how much is it his calling vs. his players is still a question to me fs.

Also, where does the coach come into this equation, its not always obvious on whether the coach's instructions lead to proper calling/wins/strategy or if it is the IGLs. There are closer to obvious observations like midrounding/reads, but what to do with that could be either. 'Having the read' is pretty much all in the lobby, IGL or players, but what you do with that read could be drilled/from org, or from IGL or both.

TLDR: Basically, hard to tell their impact without having full team context.

Best player OAT candidates, aren't everyone. You implied a different standard, we should probably stick to best igl of all time for Boasty. He is at best, a serviceable fragger, and at worst, well yk, plenty of people go on about it.

If IGLing is a huge factor, then you have to put Valyn near the top too, which I do.

i mean his name is sick thats about where it stops

xenom is a great player bro stop

He can take on both of these tasks because he doesn't trouble himself with what us humans call 'emotions'
