idk literally everyone that was affected directly or indirectly by bleed exploding seems to have something interesting going on

one of those is their permaban. And the other is a map they've historically always been bad at. It's a huge stretch to cope they'll be good. You've more hope of them improving the maps we have seen them look bad on than them being good at ascent or fracture.

They don't really need to make moves anymore. Their comps, while some aren't hard meta, are all fairly sound and well put together, finally after all this time, primarily thanks to Jingg now having doubled his agent pool and the meta opening up more.

The only liabilities agent wise are Something's Yoru in their split and lotus comps and D4v41's Vyse, which SHOULD both be fixable.

The rest just boils down to their larger issue they've had forever with overheating. That might be harder to fix, especially if they remain a single coach team.

they said unpopular opinion

if you look at the actual data it's pretty diverse. Yoru is being picked a lot because he has high skill expression and makes comp space on maps that otherwise have fairly strict comps without sacrificing anything and well thought out non-yoru comps are still successful in places that they make sense.

I actually think he's being overated a bit in Breach/Tejo comps on maps that already favored Breach and therefore don't need his enabling as much, like Fracture and Haven.

It can be the best region in overall quality and still not have the absolute best of the best teams.

I mean

They have three maps

I don't think it's happening

TL has been doing very well this year too tbf. But his pacific bad argument is stupid as shit cope. Pacific is still easily the best region with full competition but EMEA at least gets away with not being CN or AMER.

what super team bro where's the IGL cuz S0yf certainly ain't it

only because Leo is literally medically unfit to play. And he's been doing a great job. But don't pretend he's carrying rather than being one of many integral moving parts of the team like everyone else.

you can hardly call them anything but delusions. They're only hurting themselves by expecting things that clearly aren't happening.

I don't see why you'd be happy your region quality is so dog this year that your shitter team qualifies despite not improving even slightly.

congrats on being the 7th or 8th least shit team i guess cuz you certainly ain't good

Have you seen how dogshit the bottom 6 of AMER looks this year

It absolutely is NOT an achievement.

Brazil has a lot of exceptional player talent but no good coaches and no good igls. Both are incredibly important for fixing mistakes and guiding a team in Valorant, especially to keep up with continual improvement.

It's also why 3 Brazilians + a good IGL and coach from somewhere else keeps being so successful by comparison.

The org literally knew FNS was the problem and got screwed over by his friends refusing to play without him. Don't "They all knew verno was the problem" that was debunked ages ago.

Trophies aren't about being the best individual player, but being on the best team. The best players aren't always on the best team.

Aspas in particular has been chasing the bag each year instead until this year where bleed screwed him over so he's now on an actually good team likely being paid slightly less than he would've been. But who can really blame him, esports isn't exactly a stable career. Chase the bag while you can.

They knew that, tbf. They were trying to get Jingg more comfortable on smokes for 90% of the split. They're only playing proper (but unconventional) comps now after switching patmen in. And to be honest, outside of Something Yoru and D4v41 Vyse, their more recent stuff has looked strong if somewhat off meta.

You nail down those two agent/player combos and get more practice and discipline in them and they'll be looking great again.

They will need another coach if they expect that to happen quickly and effectively though.

posted 3 months ago

Even if it's without him, his team is working out their problems. I don't see why he wouldn't be.

posted 3 months ago

Their comp issues are fixed besides Something's Yoru. It's certainly doable. But they've got a lot of work to do to clean up their form and ease into the new roles.

posted 3 months ago

his smokes aren't bad so their comps look fine now and he's popping off. They'd be worse without him. They need a new coach. As well as or instead of Alecks idk

posted 3 months ago

To make space for more non-partnered ways to enter the league, yeah. Too many partnered teams rn is kind of damaging the ecosystem.

posted 3 months ago

it'd be the run of a lifetime and they'd have to tidy up a lot but it's not impossible for them to make 3rd seed during playoffs imo. Tough competition though.

roles issues unironically sorted besides something and they have good and unconventional comps (and even some mixup options by swapping Jing and F0rsaken every now and again to prevent anti-ing) on every map bar icebox. Just gotta ease into current stuff and work on their system some more.

Realistically they'll only be in line by champs and probably need a second coach though, but I'm still not ruling it out entirely.

posted 3 months ago

if only people could remember to clarify the rich part too people wouldn't seriously think they're being scapegoated

posted 3 months ago

thing is f0rsaken is good on most stuff so ideally Jing covers Omen on Ascent/Haven so you can run Jett + Yoru since something can only play Jett and maybe breach on Fracture

why not put your raze one-trick on raze on Lotus and Split even if you're teaching him smokes for non-raze maps

posted 3 months ago

raze on only raze maps because even if you're teaching your raze one-trick smokes you're still gonna use their raze

posted 3 months ago

because being a Jett one trick is inexcusable on this team in this day and age bro even Jing can unironically play smokes decent now

posted 3 months ago

yeah idc if udotan can't play yoru (he's in spots only yoru can play all the time anyway but nah can't play yoru) idk put him on Pheonix or something surely the flash is so important for options and disrespecting smokes on split

posted 3 months ago

strats aren't even that bad the players are just getting steamrolled

udotan always puts himself out of position after starting in great spots

coach calls timeout for perfect unloseable round on a defensive favored comp to anti the raze ult and yet they still lose

nah

blow up the roster again find better talent

posted 3 months ago

current meta aside from tejo being overtuned and harbor being undertuned is easily the best we've ever had comps wise.

that aside, worst imo was probably when the Skye/Viper comp was everywhere. That also eats into a section of Chamber meta.
