Why PRX so high?

only split has rating, maps 2 and 3 havent updated the rating

edit: I realise I am stupid, but the rating is probably because he is a duelist!

slowly could make any chinese team twice as good

Nova need a jett player, cb and guang can (kind of) get by against the weaker chinese teams on raze and neon. But maps like icebox which are Jett maps Nova are cooked.

I don't have insider knowledge but EDG just won Champs and placed 3rd in Bangkok, any roster change at all regardless of who they are bringing in is a bad idea. Even though TEC didn't take it across the line, EDG just dropped a map to TEC for the first time ever? Not a good look. Not to say the new guy is a bad player but switching players arround will always cause chemistry issues and will take time to start meshing.

Bro they don't even need a great duelist, just like a somewhat competent one is enough.

Obone looks more comfortable on sentinel then duelist, but he's forced Guang and CB to both play off roles where they don't thrive. Obone either needs to play duelist competently or get dropped.

FPX 2-0

Nova 2-1 TEC

I don't think TEC will qualify to playoffs for Toronto but I have a feeling that they will be a lot better for stage 2.

BLG 2-1

Should be a close game but Trace don't fill me with confidence that they'll be able to close out the series.

WOL 2-1 AG

Don't think Wolves are great but if they managed to lose to AG even I'd be surprised.

IF DRG beat FPX
DRG 2-0 TYL

If DRG lose to FPX
TYL 2-1 DRG

I think DRG are a momentum based team and losing their game to FPX might cause them to crash

XLG 2-0
Might change this depending on how JDG look in their game against AG, but they need to fix alot before I believe they can beat XLG

XLG 2-1

XLG are trending upwards at the moment and Trace are trending downwards. Doubt Trace wins this, the win against JDG doesn't fill me with confidence they still look like a completely different team to the one from Champs / Kickoff. Wouldn't be surprised if they don't take a map.

Nova 2-0

Slowly needs 4 new teammates. If Tyloo haven't already they should invest in cloning technology because I feel like their only chance to make a run in VCTCN is to just have 5 of Slowly on the team

TEC 2-1

With all the roster issues EDG is having, TEC is going to pull off an upset that puts EDG into a serious slump that might result in them missing Toronto.

• I feel like this TEC roster has potential

JDG 2-0
If JDG lose this, they need a new roster entirely.

BLG 2-0
Do not let TMV gaslight you, Wolves are not a good team and they will not go anywhere. Justice for Aluba.

Should be a very close match. Both of these teams are contenders for CN's 3 Toronto slots and should be a big confidence boost to either team.

That being said, FPX 2-1.

BLG 2-1 AG. AG will somehow take a map 13-11 and lose the other two 13-2 and 13-4.

AG are for some reason collecting all of the worst CN ascension players and I don't think this team can do anything.
AG signed 4/5 players from this CN ascension roster that went 0-2
And the one player they decided not to sign got picked up by FPX and has been looking good? Dumb management

FPX 2-1. Both teams are good but I still don't have faith in Obone and doubt the other Nova players can pull him over the finish line consistently like they did against EDG

Someone has to buy this guy a clock

wasn't particularly good but probably the best anyone has played her.

I don't think he's a bad player, just not how an omen should be playing.

Art has way too many first deaths for an omen, is he doing an ange1 cosplay?

that makes sense, thanks for clarifying.

How come some russian players have no issues but others do? I thought the Chiwa issues were more to do with him living in Serbia which complicated the visa process.

EMEA have a serious lack of good IGLs and have somehow let Kr1stal escape the region lol

oOoOo is IGL so he gets cut slack that Obone does not

Yay Back to the cooked roles on Fracture

you are a brick bro

They looked like shit because everyone was off roles for Obone, they look better now against EDG that everyone -Obone is on proper roles

Cb, GuanG, Ezeir, Suyjing (Duelist), Green (initiator)

This roster wins China.

their overall gameplans are fine, their fundamentals are fine. The problem is Obone. Are you even watching the game?

'we have bad players so instead of getting good players, lets improve the fundamentals of the team and assume this will fix the issue!'

Its not about Swerl not being on the team its about Obone being on the team. If they wanted to drop Swerl and speak full CN they needed to pick up a good duelist

just trying to make roles work, GuanG is one of the best senti's in CN

no-one on the active roster really. CB has played it a few times ig

Obone duelist omg we are cooked, idk if I can watch this

hard agree. CB, Guang and Ezeir are such a good core 3 players and the other two players on the roster should be chosen in a way that none of them have to flex out of their comfort roles. Like why are we moving everyones roles to facilitate Obone? If we were moving everyones roles to faciliate a really good player i'd understand

You ask me 2 weeks ago who I think wins this game, I would tell you that it could genuinely go either way. Today? My cope has expired. The team can get away with having one shit player because my goat GuanG is basically 2 players but they cannot get away with having two shit players. One of Obone or oOoOo have to go, even if they get another Cn player instead of reintegrating Swerl.

Slowly is still stuck in a 1v9. Someone save him.

I still believe Nova can qualify for Toronto. Swerl is very good but Nova isn’t a one man team. GuanG is good enough to solo carry them there.

Never enjoyed watching valorant more than watching Berlin, o7 to the goat

My goat doesn't need any magical abilities to kill enemies, the prime guardian is all he needs

That series turned the most boring valorant map to watch into the best

Say what you want but if anyone deserves a trophy its him, constantly stuck with the worlds greatest choker and making deep runs at tournaments despite that since the dawn of valorant.

Surely MIBR aren’t making roster changes the moment they aren’t the worst team in the league and look like a contender for making international events. Side note: He wasn’t even that bad? He was only the worst performing player in one match?
