Asuna would've 13-0ed C9B

387 ACS vs 344 ACS. Asuna 48 kills in a very close match, Cned 28 in a easy win. I'll take the 48 kills and 387 ACS in a really close game. Even though Cned was amazing, Asuna was the only thing keeping 100T in that game and if he wasn't getting the massive 2-3 kill rounds and all the first bloods, 100T would've easily lost, especially since nitr0 was having a shitty game

Yeah so far they have 100% but once again they have to do good in tournaments following this. As of right now I am seeing this as a honeymoon phase but if they are continuously successful than they will have completely proved me wrong. I am hesitant to hype them up cause of teams like Col, FaZe, BBG and so on since they all looked so great at a time but then dropped off the face of the earth. Going into the NSG closed qualifier of First Strike, Complexity were looking really good and then they just got absolutely shit on. After BBG beat Sen, they were looking really good but then they didn't keep it up and FaZe looked like the clear #2 team in NA for like 3 tournaments and now they can't even make a Challengers main event. KCP are definitely looking good so far, but they have to keep it up.

Sen 2-0 but 2 close maps

XSET 2-1

Envy 2-1. KCP win Ascent by 2 rounds(either in OT or 13-11)

V1 ban bind, 100T ban Split, V1 picks Icebox(or Haven), 100T pick Ascent, V1 picks Haven(or Icebox)
I'm gonna say V1 take this 2-1. I think 100T win Ascent and V1 win Icebox so it will all come down to Haven. Both teams are great on Haven but I think V1 will pull it off in the end. If Breeze gets played, I think 100T win it but V1 hasn't played Breeze yet so idk. Obviously I'm rooting for 100T but I don't wanna be too biased and V1 are looking great right now.

Asuna cause his aim is amazing to watch and he's on 100T
Boaster cause he's funny and humble

It's awesome to see that now, all 5 Party Parrots players are on top orgs(at least for their region). Obviously shao and Ange1 are on FPX, dinkzj and 7ssk7 are now gonna be on Navi and Art1st is on Forze :)

English? But I never called him t2 and he got dropped from xset and replaced by zekken

Even though I'm a 100T fan, I love to see TSM immediately making moves to get better. Drone has been the weakest link for months now and I think his best days in Valorant are behind him(even though the game came out only a year ago). Interesting to see who they get to replace Drone, especially since there are so many great FAs available and a lot of great tier 2 players on smaller orgs who could get signed. The 2 players that come to mind are Critical and thwifo. Either one would be a massive upgrade in my eyes or they could go with a tier 2 guy.

So far yeah but we'll have to wait and see if this is just a honeymoon phase for them or not. They beat Immortals but they had a new roster so I still need to see more but that win over IMT definitely has proved me wrong for now. However, I remember going into the group stages for First Strike, Complexity and Renegades were looking very good and BBG were looking good after beating Sen but all 3 are tier 2 teams now. I personally think that going the other route of signing the best individual FAs like Aleksandar and thwifo would be better in the long run but if KCP and DarkZero keep playing well than they will have completely proved me wrong.

Surprisingly the no sage lineup worked better on attack than defense but yeah they definitely have to work on their Icebox defense. Also tbf ZK had the game of his life on Icebox. Luckily, 100T have a few days to make some changes before the main event, so hopefully they work on Icebox. I think they really need to work on their A site defense specifically because Asuna kept getting caught out top site and steel wasn't getting much value out of the awp. I feel like steel should be rifling more and maybe they need to get more aggresive and switch steel and nitr0 up some more.

The only thing 100T need to change is banning/changing up how they play Icebox. They look good on Haven, Ascent and Breeze(based on opponents POV) and I really don't think their bind is that bad so idk why they are banning bind instead of Icebox. Either way they won map 1, even with Ethan's issues and subbing in a jett main on skye who hasn't played any official games in months, started to come back on a map they suck at and won map 3 despite Noble's weird style on defense and the odin spam from Leviathan.

Yeah but what has Andbox achieved? Yay popping off against Ez5 doesn't make them the better team. 100T have more talent than ABX and if they played I think Andbox again(100T won the last time they played), I think 100T would beat them 2-0 unless Icebox was played. 100T have constantly had better results than Andbox so why would you assume that Andbox is better? Or are you saying someone else is above 100T instead of Andbox?

If they perma ban it, 99 times out of 100, that means that they are not good on the map.

I'd be surprised if Sinatraa doesn't end up on TSM after his suspension unless TSM drastically improve or are too worried about negative publicity from signing him.

Just remember, 100 Thieves's first team was shit and got stomped like every game but then they rebuilt around HiKo and we won First Strike so don't give up on your team

4th of July but nsg said they will have more streams for the next open qual and we know that every game tomorrow is being streamed

Xset>ABX. Also don't overreact to 100T dropping a map to SoaR. The way I see it, they just suck at Icebox and Split but they are looking great on the other maps, including Breeze. And Ik having 2 weak maps isn't good but 100T 6-7 imo. My list would be:

1. Sen
2. V1
3. Envy
4. C9B
5. Xset
6. 100T
7. ABX
   But then again I am a 100T fan so this is biased. I do think we could beat any of these other teams but we will basically always lose a map, unless they ban Icebox or 100T somehow win on Icebox even with their shitty comp(no sage)

It was just being ultra aggressive and confident really. A lot of their success came from pure individual skill and teamwork rather than strats but now with marved gone and Babybay heavily underperforming, FaZe is beginning to fall off.

Even EG got 10 rounds against Sen...

Ik I put him, sinatraa and poiz there because they are all signed but not playing for their teams. I know that he's injured but I added him cause he's currently inactive

So they're celebrating the 4th of July on July 2nd?

it's 4 stars dumbass

No he commented this before I added Aleksandar but I edited the list to include him and Jammyz

• sinatraa?
• dicey
• kaboose
• Player1
• Relyks
• shinobi
• poiz?
• reltuC
• stellar
• thwifo
• b0i
• Spyder?
• DaZeD
• AZK
• cp2
• sharky
• Xp3
• robwiz
• c4Lypso
• Showtime
• Jammyz
• Aleksandar
• rara
• Boostio
  There's probably a lot more but I just went down Liquipedia's ranking and named any FAs I could think of. Also what is up with Critical? Is there a reason he isn't playing with BBG in the quals? There's a lot of good teams that could be made from these players which is why I'm still confused why the Kansas City Pioneers just signed a decent FA team instead of some good FAs.

Lakia - Sova(and I'm sure he can play some other agents on maps like split where no one uses sova)
RB - Jett/Raze
Stax - Skye/Phoenix
BuZZ - Omen/Brim/Astra/Viper
k1Ng - cypher/killjoy/viper

I mean I wouldn't take any of these guys over anyone I listed(I didn't list skye so you could put muj there)

Jett: cNed
Raze: mwzera
Reyna: TenZ
Phoenix: ScreaM
Yoru: Shot_Up(cause he's the one of the only players that has actually played yoru)
Sage: ScreaM
Cypher: nAts
Killjoy: Magnum
Astra: AvovA
Omen: nitr0
Viper: Mixwell(recency bias Ik)
Sova: Sacy

nah don't listen to him Asuna popped tf off but so did HiKo in round 2 and nitr0 in the first round. Ethan played good both games and steel was there as well

I mean not streaming these games is probably better for TSM since 100T has nothing to anti strat and vice versa if 100T's game doesn't get streamed. Also it'll probably bring in even more viewers since there will be the viewers who are fans of the team, viewers who want to see a great match and viewers who wanna see the new TSM and how 100T changed their team up as well

Nah he has always played Jett in ranked and I remember a thread about it before like stage 2 challengers 2 or something like that but I don't see him coming off of Reyna/Raze/Phoenix. I actually much prefer him on reyna compared to jett especially considering how damn good he is at rifling. He might be a top 5, if not top 10 rifler in the world so putting him on jett wouldn't help much imo

Yeah that really disappointed me cause even though they won, sage is very good on Icebox and kind of crucial for a lot of teams and the way they play Icebox. I would like to see steel on viper, nitr0 on omen and Ethan on sage but we'll just need to watch them play Icebox in the coming days

WHAT HAVE I BEEN SAYING ABOUT KANPEKI FOR MONTHS NOW. SIGN HIM!

Didn't FaZe pay for their CS team through a scam tho... Seems kinda unfair that these guys get punished for scamming when that's how they paid for their Cs team...

HiKo viper and steel skye. Finally they're adjusting to the meta. Also nitr0 awping on omen is very interesting

100T and TSM probably have the 2 biggest fanbases in NA of the teams playing today so why is NO ONE streaming their first round games... Normally there are many NA streams and 0 EU streams but now it's the opposite...

Remember how you all said FPX would've beat Sen and won Iceland and how they were the best team in the world... With FPX losing to Guild and Fnatic losing to G2 who is gonna be the team you all hype up now?

Fnatic 2-0 but it should be close

I mean in a lot of cases they refer to each other by their actual names not their in game names for callouts but casters should have fun

:)

I don't understand why some of these orgs enter by signing obvious tier 2 teams. I guess you could say that it worked out for V1 but everyone they signed(other than skuba) was unsuccessful after being signed to whatever orgs they were signed to. Especially when FAs like kaboose, dicey, aleksandar, huynh, stellar and so on are available. It would make sense if they just couldn't afford them but they could make an amazing roster out of the available FAs. Unless there was budgetary constraints, this move doesn't make sense but let's see if they can prove me wrong in the next day(s)

russ and Izzy played amazingly throughout the entire tournament and surprisingly pAura was the one that was consistently shit... I didn't watch any of this tournament so if anyone who did has an explanation as to why pAura did so poorly I would like to know.

Better than what they would be with Moe though... Also Sen is so far ahead of the rest of the world that being 2nd is just being the best of the rest.

Yeah I would rather have Aleksandar or Roca on sage than potter. I would rather have Aleksandar and Roca with no real IGL than Potter at this point.

1-15= HORRIBLE PLAYER... She consistently plays like shit and EG could definitely sign much better players. They will never win anything with Potter playing although they could add her to the coaching staff. Also I don't think I've ever seen a sage get 0 assists in my life especially since healing someone who gets a kill counts as an assist... An org like EG should not be losing to a team like Noble, especially after their best player just got signed to an org...

So that they could be #2 in the world...

+GodTN
-Assuna

I mean normally they don't even stream EU quals at all so viewership is technically going up lol
