Boom is highly rated atm by most people, no?

AMER - Loud; after their stage 1 people will view them very low going into stage 2 but I believe that they are very likely to bounce back and the 0-4 is not reflective of their skill
EMEA - KC; I'm defiently coping quite a bit with this one but they looked good today against FUT and have strong ideas, their success will come from activating all together at the right time
APAC - RRQ; people have started to come around on them but I they arent expected to make toronto for example and even if they are expected to make champs they certainly could make a deep run, strong roster that has been proving themself more recently
CN - XLG; this team has great ideas and I think they could be in a similar situation to trace at champions especially with one of the "giants" in china falling recently; that being FPX and trace have fallen behind recently

I hate xepppaa, historically we've seen he has an insane game and your like "hold on C9 might be good, xeppaa might be great" and then he poos all over and throws the next game

shanks top frag tho get him help

NRG DROP FNS GET SHANKS ON MAIN ROSTER!!

Late 2023/Early 2024
Viper Skye Jett - had a lot of fundemental skill involved

I personally love watching G2
perfect valorant is fun to watch but I also love watching crazy playstyles and innovations like KC

heres hoping but this is the best they have looked by a large margin going into playoffs

I feel a soft spot for some orgs for various reasons but generally I will like a roster more
for example, all though they have been long gone despite a recent return i have a really soft spot for ghost gaming as i recall it being one of the first teams i watched, the same goes for nrg because they were the first team i realized i liked when i started viewing (pre-reykjavik)

im so glad that C9 are getting rolled, smoked, barbequed, grilled, pan-fried, pan-seared, broiled, microwaved, sous-vided, baked, toasted, sauted, braised, steamed, poached, slow-cooked and blanched

C9 being good just feels wrong, I know we've seen them good pre-playoffs but now is different, now im scared

Alfajer 2k, its impact cannot be understated
sure it wasnt mechanically insane it was just a spray but holy shit the electricity in that moment despite the silent crowd was absurd

LAUNCH A MATCHFIXING INVESTIGATION EFFECTIVE IMMEDIETLY

unknown doesnt = bad you goober

//,

because good scouting is not surface level

surface level scouting isnt a bad thing but good scouting is a harder talent

guang breaks the 1 map kill record by dropping 65 in a 13-0, ace every round

nah china needs time to develop fs and they also need a more defined tier 2 scene

if the regions were combined it would be a disaster tbh

D1 hater bro came back to this thread

GUANGG THE GOAT

https://www.vlr.gg/pickem/e06972b2 smoking crack for this unpredictable region MY GOAT GUANG DROPS 1000!!!

whats contdext

hey guys! big nrg fan, i already booked my flight to toronto! cant wait to see my favorite team #BringTheNRG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hey guys! big nrg fan, i already booked my flight to toronto! cant wait to see my favorite team #BringTheNRG

they absolutely would be known by coaches doing scouting in APAC and EMEA considering they are top dogs in T2 NA

? a champs win doesnt = good scouting
i didnt call them the worst region, i called them the worst scouting region

i think that any tier 1 team without an academy team is kind of silly
like you said with dedicated scrim partners we've seen it with EG but also with TL's glowup this year already, they looked atrocious at the start of kickoff but quickly found their footing which a lot of the reason has to come from a scrim partner in TL academy

good scouting comes more so from unknown prospects
we know the talent pool is there but a lot of these players havent been picked up yet despite been known talent and of age which goes back to my point of recycled talent

yes thats why hes on maryville, to pursue his academics

give some examples that are pretty unknown and not already very known prospects

furia flair

i hope he comes back after college
he 100% would get picked up after if he wanted to come back

mce found half of TGRD roster and brought them to a masters

mces departure from tier 1 has done irreversable damage to the regions scouting talent

AMERICAS IS THE WORST REGION FOR SCOUTING!!!

in order: EMEA, APAC, CN, AMERICAS

its so bad they just cycle the same talent

pujan is way better than pool chan, pool-chan is the bottom 3

build around mada and brawk, s0m is a package deal so he cant stay

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

R THEY BACK

I just gotta get this off my chest.

After watching NRG throughout the season so far, from kickoff to them losing 13-1 on LOTUS not but five minutes ago. It is insane the amount of people who are snorting the NRG copium and just won't stop. I don't think people realize it is OKAY to say a team is bad. Teams are going to be good and bad, you can't have good teams without having bad teams, and NRG is just an absolutely horrible team right now. Every time they're getting their teeth knocked in by another team its the same thing, "NRG aren't playing bad, the other team is just playing good", or "NRG's ideas aren't bad, they're just getting read". My brother is Christ, NRG is just bad.

Why is everyone so comfortable saying that 2G is bad, Furia is bad, Team Secret is bad, Movistar KOI is bad, but the moment someone says NRG is bad, its a fckin riot, I will never understand why people will give this team the benefit of the doubt, they've proven time and time again they let down expectations, lose games, lose easy 1v1s, and can't execute. Its time to stop sippin the copium, and realize NRG is just a bad team, and will be until the moment they prove they aren't.

his voice is shakey bro hes actually gonna cry he knows hes out of a job

also its his fault not just fns, its mostly on both of them bc this is a full on systematic breakdown

1 but they are really cool animals, centipedes r weird

optic flair

move G2 to APAC (cambodia pride)
move MIBR to EMEA (brazil takeover)
combine the rest of americas with china for a 22 team slopfest region that will produce the muddiest of mud
thoughts?

no cope i think loud will bounceback
the loss will really wake them up, they looked very unlike themselves
IN LOUD WE TRUST

STOP THIS MADNESS NOW
DO YOU SEE THE STARS IN THE SKY GLISTEN AT NIGHT AS A STARK REMINDER OF OUR SUEPRIORS, 2G
THE FABRIC OF REALITY IS TEARING ALL IN ONE LIKE A SINGULARITY GRASPING AT US
YOU DONT UNDERSTAND, WE HAVE CROSSED THE EVENT HORIZON. THIS IS THE POINT OF NO RETURN

WHY ARE YOU REPEATING ME, ARE YOU MOCKING ME?
DO YOU NOT BELIEVE IN 2G
YOU DISGUST ME
YOU MAKE ME FEEL LIKE IM LOSING MY MIND, A BOTTOMLESS PIT OF NOTHING THAT CONSUMES ME LIKE VINES WRAPPING AROUND ME, SUFFOCATING ME
I NEED TO LOCK THE DOORS

I KNOW THAT 2G WAS ALWAYS THIS GOOD, AND EVERYONE WAS TRYING TO MAKE ME FEEL LIKE I WAS LOSING MY MIND
AHAHAHHAHAH
DO YOU GUYS KNOW LZ, DID YOU SEE THAT ACE ON ABYSS
HOW COULD YOU EVER DOUBT THEY WOULD WIN
YOU ALL ARE STUPID, THEY ARE WINNING CHAMPS I HOPE THIS MATCH HAS ENLIGHTEND YOU

i love nrg but this level of copium is absurd
ethan needs to get his shit together, fns needs to become a human, i'd like to see more out of brawk and they need to stop buying lights against a bonus when they can afford heavies

they were really bad but losing 5 rounds to time and getting in 1 post plant out of 9 rounds and losing it is generational
