for gods sake just get Mike some help the dude is solo'ing being a coach and the struggle shows. They have 2 maps that should be perma bans, there is a massive lack of structured pre round calls, and there are serious issues of nerves affecting performances in game. These are literally all things that having an assistant coach would help

I have to imagine it has to do with the way they value C0m's comms, no pun intended

exactly like that. NRG wrote the playbook and 100T is putting it to work

he always ends up with higher death counts on the T side because he becomes the effective entry on that half. If you look at all the matches theyve played with this comp, hes generally been much better about living when they play CT

he played the role. Omen in that comp is meant to make the map closer to 50/50 than T sided. The omen helps retaking greatly, and therefore has to be a passive player that isnt fragging the whole game

people are forgetting about the SEN Sick phoenix man. I think it should really be

Jett - Derke/Aspas
Raze - Derke/Jingg
Reyna - Jingg
Yoru - f0rsaken
Phoenix - Sick
Neon - Rb (but vic was nasty with neon dont get me wrong)

PRX the worst is SO funny

it makes a lot of sense. Kats mechanics are definitely amongst the best in all of game changers. Just gotta let her cook

They havent started playing Harbor yet

The "people who dont like breeze cant aim" narrative went from being a meme to somehow being a legitimate belief that many in the community hold which is incredibly concerning. Breeze was the most banned map in all of pro valorant towards the end before franchising. When it wasn't banned, it was BY FAR the most CT sided map in the entire game. The problem isnt that its such an aim reliant map, the players with the best aim on the planet hated it. Its actually got a decently similar problem to icebox. The Chokes to both B and A are tiny and allow Ops and viper/kayo mollies to completely control full site execs, yet the only ways to split the sites are through a mid that is extremely unintuitive and inconvenient for attackers. The map lends itself to needing splits to properly hit sites, but doesn't really allow for those kinds of plays unless pushing halls and hitting A, which became almost the only strat on breeze towards the end of its life. I think harbor could have made the map a lot more playable for everyone, but some reworks might not hurt it that much either

i absolutely think this will be a common strategy. I obviously dont share this sentiment with many but i believe harbor is quite good and pairs VERY well with duelists like neon and yoru, so with jett likely returning to become main OP i could see a world where you have jett neon playing with harbor (or jett yoru possibly on like pearl or bind)

VERY small chokes to enter sites and not much creativity in terms of exploring mid from teams leads it to be one of the most CT sided maps that we have in valorant currently. It was very heavily banned in Champions (64.7% of matches) and the teams that started defense on breeze won 55% of the time. We have been seeing this pattern a lot with maps where when a map starts to become heavily favored for CT, the ban rate of those maps start to skyrocket for teams. It has happened with Split, Ascent, and is now coming around to Breeze

have to imagine the testers really like the potential of icebox with the incoming harbor strats and chamber nerfs. Will allow for a lot more flexibility and some new ways to take space and play the map

NA

Valyn - IGL/smokes
Trent - Sova/Fade
Will - Duelist/main rifle
Dicey - Chamber/main OP
Ethan - Initiator/Flex

feel like the valyn trent core is too good to not have SOMEWHERE out there. Dicey is one of the best OPs in NA, Will had a wonderful showing on LAN at champs, and Ethan is another one of those guys that seems crazy not to have on a roster if he is available. I think if you want to switch around IGL style or just role playstyle, Zander could be a good look but he sounds like hes likely going to TSM. I also think that you could throw in someone like roza for ethan but initiators are the easiest role for people to flex to so theres just millions of options out there to pick from

im still decently new with anime so i havent seen a lot of the BIG series people recommend

1. Jujutsu kaisen

2. Bungou stray dogs (idk if this is seinen i dont really get what the genre is lmao)

3. Bunny girl senpai

4. Mirai Nikki

I mean we all as a collective kinda understand how hard it is to be the best team and STAY that way in this game. With the meta shifts and everything that come act by act, it makes the most sense for the team to take their win, walk away with a legacy, and cash whatever checks they can find now that they are the team everyone is looking at. If they stay together, they run the risk of falling out and bombing in the next tourney, and then every valorant fan calls them SEN/Gambit/Acend/FPX 2.0. Its almost a formula at this point

the saddest part is theres a chance dapr gets stuck as a 6th man and cant really compete in franchising. He was the 2nd best player on SEN throughout every iteration of that roster and just never got the credit he deserved for his gameplay. Hoping EG wakes up and realizes hes out there but otherwise itll be big Sadge for him

the problem is that i agree when it comes to will being a good player and team chemistry being very important, but if you pick up the phone and hear that theres an opportunity to bring in Yay to the team, and all you have to do is drop will, how do you possibly say no? I love will, i think he is massively over-hated by the fans, but this is Yay. Hes arguably the lone best player in the entire world. He is the only player that if they dropped will i would really not have an issue over

derke is the best player in the world and alfa had a 94% KAST map 1. Not really much you can do about that

DRX finally look like they arent going to let mental and a bad streak get to them. Hopefully they can crack a top 3 (as long as they dont have to beat 100T). I wish that 100T couldve won to make winners seed but these 2 teams will make playoffs certainly

100T baby probably no win but lets get their LAN career started

the teleports make unrateds fun
