if you move sayf off duelist you are trolling.

i dont care about the rest of the list. this guy was the #1 emea duelist in my eyes this year, freak of nature on that role, hard carried liquid in so many scenarios it is actually throwing to not let that guy have hard carry potential

the dude is just incredibly insecure. what ever

every year is mwzera's year!!

i mean roles are not super important for this list clearly... you have 2 smokes and 1 'flex' (mostly flash init) for 3rd team

Body shooting rule seems to only apply to NA teams 🙃

tweet for reference

my guess is that they got warned after the LOUD game, because during the PRX game the amount of bm was for sure heavily scaled back

Here is my hidden theory: EG did get a warning about tbagging and body shooting after the LOUD match, because in very few rounds did EG bm against PRX (the only one I can think of is Demon1 T-side pistol on bind). Where as during the LOUD game it was after literally every round.

So I think EG did get a warning they just didn't say anything about it because the only reason we know about PRX getting a warning is because f0rsaken said they got 1, where as EG could have just kept quiet about the one they got

tbh this run from FNATIC was not that impressive. They had 1 good win against DRX.

They beat Zeta (the by far worst team at the event), BLG twice, and then DRX. they lost to LOUD twice in relatively convincing fashion when you think about the fact that Fnatic won both of the internationals this year.

i hate this fucking 'stat'. it does not give praise to derke as an individual player who is super good on raze. Fnatic played 4 fucking maps all tournaments. all of which are the best raze maps (fracture, split, bind, lotus) . During that run he was literally the 4th best player on the team.

Its not like Derke was out there absolutely dominating even though he was in a tough position 'optimal team comp' wise. He was just a really good duelist player on the best team, not putting up world shattering raze gameplay. He just did his job for each map he played. If fnatic was challenged and had to play another map, derke would not be on the raze.

it is going in neither direction. it is stopping the overwatch direction by actually making balance changes to characters who have somewhat out of line parts of their kits even if they may not be the most broken agent in the game. (i.e. viper pit changes, that is an ult that just wins rounds it makes sense to nerf it, same with lockdown, and brim ult. the skye nerfs are so good, that agent is busted rn)

and what is wrong with maybe having a new meta?? are people so scared of not being able to be carried by jett because they have no clue how to play the game properly and actually use abilities effectively????

i literally do. the smokes lasting so long is broken because she can just hide in them wait for her team on entry while dragging crosshairs + deny space and fight else where on defense and get out without any team help.

if you watch aspas play that agent on defense he makes her look the best site anchor and on entry while on offense because of how well he plays around the smokes.

the ult change i think is bad. the aftershock change is good for both not making the ability so much as a stall ability and more instant area denial + can combo even better now because you DO NOT want to disrespect that thing now

thats literally the point. she is a duelist not a controller that can site anchor.

Actually a really good patch in terms of reasoning and balancing the game. Would have liked to see some changes to deadlock though that character is trash rn.

during the season the players live in Seoul, hence the sentence "they liked tokyo so I think they would also like seoul"

you're right. 3 teams could not have gotten out of group D so I guess navi is a bit out of place!

expect the unexpected

i mean he plays pheonix on pearl, and can for sure play other agents (played sage on ascent in PRX's previous comp)... just raze is really strong on a lot of the maps that are in the pool right now + strong in general rn + fits PRX's style

Demon1 vs KangKang

18-9
5-0 first kills
4-0 op kills

demon1 got so humbled!!! (demon1 is on the left)

they experimented with playing iNTRO during the season, he wasnt that good and gave no reason to play him over the other player on t1 who plays the smokes role currently.

im gonna assume this is sarcasm because they literally did the groups draws live...

do you think I care? im not really an NRG fan. i am obviously partial to them because they are NA but I am not crushed by the fact they lost to a team that is more fun to cheer for.

?? i just said that the team was unknown coming into the event to the point people are spelling their name wrong. its like spelling KRU as CREW

i like BLG, i think they are a fun team... dont know where this is coming from

toaster

doesnt even know how to spell BiliBili right 💀💀

team so unknown people spelling the name wrong

i mean in that round demon1 clutched a 1v2 or 1v3 and kind of shit on the last guy who he shot the body of. its not like he was just out there shooting a body in a round where nothing happened

my argument for why vct americas should move to Gary, Indiana.

they would just both play at lan (but geng in NA wont qualify so no worries)

why would canada need tenz?? they have the goat duelist already in flor

😡😡💢💢😡😡how dare an NA person say something mean about the EMEA region. It was clearly out of massive inflated ego and not because they had any idea what they were talking about

underestimated the goat...

British education. thats what they were saying that it is a (United States of) America thing not NA thing

sorry. i thought you meant the actual game of valorant. which understanding of that is critically lacking from most users of this site

good bait. almost no one here actually understands the game

she lost because she switched to the stinger.

why is DRX KR/Americas??

jovi is not taking this lightly. I love NA drama

thats the beauty of brencasts. he just says absolute insane takes and then argues for them like his life depends on it.

when they did lock//in pickems and he flipped a coin for each game to make his bracket to argue for and had to argue for FPX winning it all is an all time classic of that podcast

the only thing you should be seeing is a therapist 🙏🙏🙏

yeah i know that clip. but for masters tokyo he some how a clip from the exact same spot

are you talking about the one where he had the knives out on split vs fnatic and then Pansy made the 'new king of hell' call?

A lot GC teams have the crazy cracked mechanics but simply lack the ability to understand the game more than just trying to play ranked slightly more team based (map control, timing, rotations, set plays for certain rounds, gameplans for each map, general team coordination like holding angles + trading, and discipline) A good chunk of that comes down to investment of resources to allowing teams to have good coaches/players who know how to win and lead a team. (The horror stories I have read from GC twitter are absurd)

V1 is good because they not only have 5 very good players mechanically (which isnt exactly lacking in GC) but their experience and understanding of what it takes to win and improve at the game at a fundamental level. The coaching with effys has been so good for them and all the players talk about how valuable it has been for the growth of them individually and as a team.

they want to be like their favorite team and just be stupid all the time! : )

doesnt start beef. just starts demonic hate

he doesnt need to say what everyone is thinking. otherwise angry bronzes would call him an annoying egotistical NA player

this is a justified post for the instability of the t2 scene, but not in this instance.
because m80 had the money and wanted to keep the team together. but just felt that it would be better for the players to allow them to explore options with other teams instead of keeping them in contract jail because they feel as though the players deserve the chance to compete at the highest level (the owner literally tweeted this, im just too lazy to grab the link) very cool org and owner (unlike faze clan...)

you could have made this bait better by saying Something instead of f0rsaken, as PRX actually went to a different country without him, scrimmed without him, and played in a tournament and got 3rd without him

looks like they will have to do another one. cruel and unusual punishment in having to play V1 twice 🫠

did they lock you in a room perhaps?

Fnatic's child 💀💀💀
