In the new bundle trailer it shows fracture, so we can deduce it’s probably coming back into the pool next update/act. Which map are they replacing?? this map pool currently is top tier dogshit i hope it’s not somehow made worse.

i think you guys are forgetting marved went from being a not very vocal player surrounded by a stable core of players that allowed him to thrive and kind of take the backseat and make plays he saw on the map, sen he had a completely different role and had to basically slot in as igl which player with experience knows is not an easy thing to do. not to mention sentinels was basically in shambles before he even slotted in. id imagine being the 4/5th most vocal person on his previous roster to being the #1 caller would have an impact on his play, even though he didn’t play bad.

mid-bottom barrel teams last year, seedings were based off that

I don’t think anti stratting has any effect in open quals other than in the very first map of each day, the way the format is you play so many matches back to back there’s no time to properly antistrat.

demon1 actually looks like some type of father in his late 30s from the 70s or 80s, what are the odds this guys actually washed and starts off really slow. https://x.com/boostio/status/1753156343111016835?s=46&t=CstZbn79mG8Xo1ry-2hXtA

sadge ;(

Firm believer that anything that is directly DSG or related to it is forever cursed to win nothing, y0y can’t escape >:(

players individual streams and the stream on Raidiants channel, you can find links on twitter and some in vlr match comments.

watching these gc matches of relatively unknown teams vs well known teams in the scene (SR, FLYquest) it seems like they respect them way too much and lose confidence, almost like their whole game plan is thrown out the window because they feel like they already lost before the game starts. it could just be they are way out of their depth in these matches and I'm overanalyzing but thoughts?

org decisions, team gets complacent (although i doubt it), any external factors that could affect them. who knows i think they’ll play well this year though

true it seems like when everyone thinks it should be their year they fuck up astronomically in some way shape or form.

sacys skye is mid so this indirectly helps sen going into the sova/fade meta as well as kayo/gekko tenz flex (might put zellsis on the gekko). all things point towards sen having a good year honestly, even though im a sen hater.

honestly since skyes nerfed now it could not be bait, prx ran the gekko successfully on a couple maps with cgrs

trent’s a flex, 1leaf is only a duelist on g2 now but is top player on any role, boostio is a top sentinel, crashies is a top initiator, if we’re going purely off stats jakeee was a top 3 controller main in americas last year, i dislike zellsis but just based off his comms and util he’s a top initiator as well but could be considered flex. Oxy doesn’t have enough T1 big stage matches but this year will probably prove him as a world class duelist.

This isn’t be being misogynistic or sexist, would Game changers be characterized as t3? For challengers qualifiers last year 1 gc team (shopify) made it into ro32 and immediately lost out.

what real franchise matches have sen won?

talked about it on stream, in interviews, and saw them talk about it on zellsis vlog! they took a break cause of the massive amount of time they put in since october and just started back up. keep coping!

c9 took a month off and went into ludwig tarik with 2 scrims played, plugged and played first time deadlock, mickey mouse off season tourneys don’t matter keep coping

anyone’s gonna take a low salary to be one of thirty players in franchise, still doesn’t make sense, especially after every orgs making paycuts considering the economy of valorant right now

can someone explain how the supaman pickup makes any sense? he last played in challengers ascension with faze and never had any substantial performances or crazy impact that would make him seem like a T1 player.

Honestly cloud9 is gonna prove everyone wrong, wouldn’t be surprised if they qual for madrid..

hear me out, they just picked up derrek, probably gonna go with stellar as igl. Zander would be a good addition but is he locked in with M80 completely or will they do the partnership thing with them and lend?? give me koalanoob or some shit and call it a day, actually fuck it pick up florescent for madrid qualifiers and drop her if she can’t perform..

Aspas basically posted, yeah the org decided to fuck us players and make a change we didn’t want.

Can someone translate the whole lev tweet?

okay so we know the new teams crashies victor ethan demon1, but who’s calling for them? definitely not marved right??? please atleast give them a real igl

good thing you had to sleep
