Keep pancc out of tier 1

Currently one of the worst rated players in Stage 1, with same amount of games as kickoff.

mw is a liability rn. Only nzr looks good.

TRUE MASTERCLASS

Common trembo L

So when is this masterclass gonna start? Im still waiting.

I didn't include FPX or Bren Esports for obvious reasons.

TL is 2-4 this year so far (2 wins are over KOI, and they lost one to them as well.)

This liquid team is bad. Should've never dropped Sayf.

One thing people forget about prefranchising EMEA is that they ran much more of a P/R league while NA/BR/KR/JPN/etc. ran open circuits. Orgs would be much more stable in EMEA because they would not have to worry about dropping out of tier 1 as much, making it much easier for top talent to rise to EMEA. Runs like The Guard's would have never been possible in EMEA, and if NA had a proper P/R league, teams like TSM probably stay in the tier 1 scene throughout 2021-2022. Hell even Sentinels found themselves being at risk of being relegated to stage 2 during the Stage 2 NA Qualifiers in 2022.

Just need to blow up the team then tbh. You can keep MW and nzr I suppose, but only if mw isn’t affecting team mental as well.
Nzr is actually pretty good imo, huge mistake for Lev to take com over him

Throw in kingg from lev too. The trio of Tex, c0m, and Mazino have been awful.

One step at a time. Focus on winning EMEA first.

I think on the team as a whole, zyppan deserves way more praise than he gets. Been running a fantasy league with my friends and my biggest regret is not choosing Zyppan over Suygetsu or Shao. Obviously they are great players but they typically flip on who’s having the big day and who’s having a slower day. Zyppan just seems to show up every single match though. Man’s consistency is impressive.

He never won with Derke and Alfa though. Needed Chronicle and Leo too. However you can't deny 2022 vs 2023 Boaster is night and day thanks to him receiving aim coaching.

Tbh, he needed to be humbled. FNC let themselves fall behind after cruising through a mediocre region last season.

Either you misread the flag or Fnatic beat a Jamaican team I didn't know about lol.

Reminder that Trembo supports a pedo and a beating a woman,

11-3 vs Brazil all time.

Suspended by riot means very little. Getting arrested for beating your gf with further proof online is massive.
Admitting to talking to an underage girl is massive.
Grow up trembola. You’re need to stop acting like a dumb child.

They still look so good though. A bit more experience could be just what they need.

Best player to never lift a trophy. Could honestly be the best, but hard to call it

That's a PRX issue tbf

Nah, low B tier for sure. But you can see the potential as a good team. Especially if Asuna stops Roza ulting lmao

They put a map up on both Sen and Lev. Definitely need work still, but I wouldn't say they were bad.

FNATIC lost in Champs because LOUD had the perfect read on them. With so few maps being played by them going into Madrid, as long as they don't cook up the same gameplans as last year, they should win the event, imo.

Still better than Lock//In tbf

Sentinels better win this now, because when NRG is fully gelled this is probably no contest.

mwzera won a total of 0 maps.

Who would you put with him. Cloud needs to be on a superteam too, so that's my second pick. Need to think about the rest though.

Sure will miss him throwing on INT LAN though. Funny stuff.

It's pretty easy to decipher in the link given above

you are amazing

Me and my friends are doing fantasy league for pro val based off of KDA, FK/FDs, Clutches, etc. However, there is no stats for Chinese Valorant, so I can't get accurate scores for them without digging through the whole match. Is there a reason why this is the case?

M3C flare not NRG lol

aged like milk

Haven't really seen him on a world beater team though. Vivo Keyd probably the best he's played on, but even then.

Question is, when will MW finally get good teammates.

NA is not a region anymore.

"Cowboy" - Got this name from my friend due to my accent
"SG" - "SuperGamerz" was my old username prior to 2016, It referred to my love of the SNES.

Only the LATAM teams play Split. I would probably not ban it first unless playing 9z, because most teams will favor a map they're strong on for their first pick.

I might have agreed with you, but the game against 9z was pitiful, only managing 14 rounds in 3 maps.

The Guard has the deepest map pool imo, as they played every map a handful of times. Wouldn't be surprised if they switched off the Pearl Ban in favor of a Haven pick. They're solid at Haven, but everyone at this contest has been good at it. Ascent should be their preferred map because they've been great at it this season.

VLR already provided a pretty good preview. I just wanted some stat comparisons.
But if you want a quick run down.

M80, The Union, and 9z Team each dominated their respective region with similar stats. Really hard to add more to them than just that.

The Guard is the only one of the 3 remaining to beat a team from above. They are consistent, and stat wise are not far behind the teams above them. They also probably have the most experience as a roster than anyone else in the tournament.

Fusion looked solid in LATAM North but got clearly outclassed by 9z. They come in as probably the biggest underdogs in the tournament.

00Nation struggled early in stage 1, but added Xand and bezn1 in stage 2. While they went 3-3 in groups in stage 2, they went on a cinderella run in the playoffs to make it here.

Map pool wise, expect to see a lot of Haven, Ascent and Fracture.

It's still pretty nice for context, map preferences, etc. And consistency (such as in 9z's case), should not be overlooked. They have as good a shot as anyone to make it to franchising.

I think it's important to note that 00Nation picked up xand and bezn1 for split 2 and it made all the difference
Split 1 : 2-5
Split 2 : 7-5

This should put them on par at least with Fusion, probably better.

Just wanted to give a rundown/comparison of the 6 teams playing in Ascension Americas. (I wanted to do player stats as well, but got too busy, though I may throw some in at some point.

T1 has slowly crept up into that contender position imo.

2-0

Not over yet.

Saadhak needs more love here.

If EMEA was just NAVI and Fnatic every week, you'd have a point. But minus those two teams, EMEA looks pretty poor imo. Especially if you count Lock In where everyone but NAVI and Fnatic looked pretty bad.
