Hi

Muggle is coach no? Am i dumb?
I have T1 due to experience, saya / xeta are vet leaders, doesnt really seem like EDG have that kinda discipline

How is Shahz washed??

He was never good enough to begin with KKKKKKKKK

they haven't picked split a lot and picked a lot of haven, think fns is more comfortable there

LOUD ban Bind and Pearl
LOUD pick Ascent (NRG defense)
NRG pick Haven (Loud attack)
LOUD pick Lotus (NRG attack)
NRG pick Split (LOUD attack)
Fracture remains

Oh really? I didn't know that, that's kinda cool.

LOUD ban Lotus, LOUD ban Bind, LOUD pick Ascent, NRG pick Haven, LOUD pick Pearl, NRG pick Fracture, Split remains

NRG ban Ascent, LOUD ban Lotus, NRG pick Bind, LOUD pick Pearl, NRG pick Haven, Loud pick Split, Fracture remains

There are so many good flex players though, Chronicle, Shao, f0rsaken, Rb, etc.

Edit: imo he's a top 3 flex but im super biased

is gum banned there or something?

Prayge

This was super wholesome to read ngl

E.g. Cauanzin, dgzinn, mazin, zekken, Ethan (this is the only thing i can think of LMAO)

What's the best letter for this?

agreed IDK why its so random

Ye

IGL/Sentinel - NRG FNS
Duelist - SEN Tenz
Other IGL/Flex - Sen dephh
Controller - C9 jakee
Initiator - KRU Klaus

lmao wtf, im on this thread now and im dying because this was a year ago

APAC:
IGL/flex - DRX stax
Controller - DRX MaKo
Initiator - RRQ xffero
Sentinel - GEN k1ng
Duelist - ZETA Dep

EMEA:
IGL/Controller - FNC Boaster
Flex - GIA Cloud
Initiator - FNC Leo
Duelist - TL Sayf
Sentinel - FNC Alfajer

Americas:
IGL/flex - LEV kiNgg
Controller - FUR Khalil
Initiator - LEV nzr
Duelist - LOUD aspas
Sentinel - LOUD Less
[No NA OMEGLAUL]

Thoughts?

Shit this aged so well

CRASHIES "CRASHIES" CRASHIES CRASHIED ALL OVER MIBR

FNS Cryo eeiu Borkum soulcas

MIBR have to show a little bit more imo

Pancada, Crashies, Kinggg, Aspas, Less would be my team

Amen brother

SR with vanity, pretty close, 2-1 OXG

OK so far we have for EMEA, consensusly: Boaster - Leo - Chronicle - Derke - Suygetsu/Nats

What about APAC? This region I know the least about so from my limited knowledge I would make the team:

MaKo - Laz - Jinggg - f0rsaken - BuZz

Who do you guys think?

America’s team seemed to be Pancada-Crashies-Kinggg/Saadhak-Aspas-Less in consensus

I suck at making these but my guess for EMEA is:

Controller - Boaster
Initiator - Shao
Flex - Leo
Duelist - Derke or Sayf
Sentinel - Nats or Suygetsu

Thoughts?

i know the system isn't fixed but that's kinda funny ngl

Ye only option the rest of the team has been gelling super well shame to waste that chemistry on a newcomer, hopefully yay can integrate eventually

I like this one better tbh, I picked FNS because he's won before, but Kinggg definitely provides more fragging power, + allows Less to play sentinel
Does Less actually midround? that's insane, he's so young

At the risk of being attacked from every side I have these as my picks:

Controller - Pancada (I don't think there's another smokes player as good as pancada, even if he's playing sentinel he's proven that he's a world-class smokes player)
Duelist - aspas (clears everyone else in americas I think, TenZ/Cryo is less consistent and dgzin/taco don't have much experience
Sentinel - FNS (need an IGL, contender for best IGL in the world)
Initiator - crashies (maybe the most contentious one, I have him a little above cauanzin/Derrek due to his experience, but this is defnintely arguable)
Flex - Asuna (ok this is the most controversial one, i'm just super high on asuna as he's performed at a super high level throughout his career, maybe saadhak could be better here though

Thoughts?

Thank you, I love bottom fragging, think I'd be a perfect fit. Much love for the support <3
I'll apply as soon as I turn 18, have 6 whole years to practice (since I am the age of an average vlr user)

In all seriousness, posting on r/buildapcforme is a great way to get a build. You can also check out PCPartPicker for your country and build your own there.

how tf you go from 77 to 96 holy shit

Me, I'm from Canada and got a 65 in French last year, and I'm silver 3 and fill every one of my games

As an NRG fan I wasn't sure if I was going to seem biased putting them too high, but I think I misjudged the opinions of this site lol

Have your rankings changed after the first week?
1st week I had: Loud, NRG, Leviatan, Sentinels, Furia, 100T, EG, MIBR, KRU, C9
Now I have: Loud, Leviatan, Sentinels, NRG, Furia, 100T, C9, MIBR, KRU, EG

Just NRG down, EG down, C9 up

What about you guys?

I haven't been following much of tier 2 outside NA, but it does seem we have some very good teams (M80, Guard, G2, even OXG or TSM, etc.). How do they compare to south american tier two teams? am i biased in thinking that we stand a pretty good chance to do well in ascension?

OMG this guy is from the future! If this happens I will give you 69.420 dollars!!

shahzam was born on mount Valorant. He baptised the entire city under the hill with his valorant-ness. Why must you talk so lowly about the god. Shazam. He deserves so much more.

Consensus in general seems to be Loud, NRG, Leviatan, FURIA, 100T, Sentinels, EG, MIBR, KRU, C9, very similar to OP's original. I personally have FURIA a little lower and Sentinels a little higher. Almost everyone has the same top 6, so would any of EG/MIBR/KRU/C9 making it to playoffs be considered an upset? I don't think it's unlikely that one of them will, but I'm very curious as to see how these rankings will change by the end of the first few games.
