Its hard to say who the best player in the world is right now, but players like trent, jawgemo, kangkang(ZmjjKK), t3xture, aspas, meteor and a couple other players have generally been in the conversation of whose the best, there are a couple other players who have looked really good during split 1, but due to them either having zero international experience or little international experience, its hard to really say they are the best in the world.

Also currently Sen have looked very good, even beating out G2 which has been considered the best or second best team for the majority of this year. I would put Sen, mibr, and G2 in a tier above the other america's team currently, they all seem like they can beat each other which makes it hard to rank them.

Players you should know in the America's region playoffs currently:

Aspas(mibr): Possibly the goat(very hot topic)
Zekken(Sentinels): Sen's star duelist and almost always has good performance, and has one of the highest ceilings of any player, and when he plays to that ceiling he looks unstoppable.
Entire G2 roster: Almost all the players almost never under perform and play very clean valorant which can get kind of boring but they are still insane
Yay(EG): In 2022 he was one of the best players in the world and was pretty much unstoppable on chamber and jett, but then fell of in 2023, 2024, and the start of this year, but recently he has looked like he is starting to come back into his prime form

Also you should know of FNS(NRG) and Boostio(100T), they both rival each other in terrible performances, but boostio sometimes decides to shoot back and when he does he can hit some insane shots, also boostio always shit talks the other team and stands up and yells at the other team if his team makes a player even if his team is down like 2-10

There are other players that you should know, but you will learn about them if you keep watching.

They keep the first map in TL's favor and then they allow KC to repick their map pick and then they redo the second group of bans so. I feel like this is the only way to make it fair for both teams.

That or they just replay the entire series, but that would then feel a bit unfair for TL.

Because he's said that he wont play if FNS doesn't

Just look at pretty much every past player on tyloo and you will have never heard of any of the players, the only one who you will have heard of is shr1mp

Riot spends all their money on the lol world opening ceremony and music videos for lol.

White peaches
Star Fruit
Prickly pear

I really like the flavor of mango, but I hate the texture of them which is really sad, but otherwise it would probably be on the list

Don't buy windows from Microsoft its stupid expensive, you can just get a key from somewhere and its only like $20-$30 versus $100+

Governor shouldn't be counted for a single region, he would probably be hated no matter what region he's in. He might even be top 10 most hated players of all time

Well first they're good which means they'll have haters no matter what, but the other part is that the refs seem to favor them with calls, like for example the opposing team could get a flag(penalty) called on them even though it wouldn't be a penalty in almost any other game, or the chiefs would commit a penalty and then it wouldn't be called against them.

Also Taylor Swift

I mean part of the reason could be all of EMEA's tech issues, after all he was performing pretty well before EMEA had all the tech issues

If G2 win they will face EG, and we might possibly get the most boring valorant game in VCT history

Which ever apac team is the best at the time vs either mibr or wolves(cope)

I mean yes, but it is such an extremely defensive sided map its not surprising. Also boom are definitely the worse team right now, that is clear.

You do realize this was their perma ban, the next two maps should be a better judge of if they are good or not

Its not the reading that's scary, its that most people aren't going to be able to read a doc with dozens of pages and then consume all that info and then apply it to their gameplay within a couple of hours. Its much easier for it to just be explained while watching a vod or playing in the server.

They are probably not writing 100 page documents on what went wrong and what they can fix, they are probably discussing it with the players and then implementing the fixes. It takes a lot more effort to write 100 page document, and then have all the players read it, than just having a discussion where you can see what went wrong and how to fix it.

100T struggled against NRG and didn't look all that good against mibr, so I think G2 will win.

The only cope for 100T is that maybe they have a good map pool into G2, but I still think the G2 we saw today would beat the 100T of tomorrow.

I mean 100T were truly screwed no matter what, they would have had to face Sen which they almost never win against or G2 which is... well you know G2

You probably read it and just can't think of a reply, its okay though I already knew you weren't the brightest after you're first reply.

So G2 deserve to win just because they had a harder comeback? No team deserves to win just because they win 9 rounds in a row on defense on a defense sided map.

Second, Sen have been tejo spammers since kickoff so I don't know what you're talking about there.

Third, I just pointed out that your take was flawed and retarded because C9 has done the same thing for example when C9 were down 3-11 vs mibr and almost came back, and you thought I was angry???? Also what about my post was parasocial?

Toronto isn't even the best team in their region rn

So C9 deserves to win almost everyone of their wins since they almost always have fake comebacks, retarded take.

Sen always do bad the first match against G2, they will bounce back if they meet them in upper finals/lower finals

I think you mean the -20 bomb

That's what I'm saying, remove all the useless non-vo0kashu's and DRG would be competing for trophies

vo0kashu (IGL/init)
vo0kashu (Duelist)
vo0kashu (Smokes)
vo0kashu (Flex)
vo0kashu (Senti)

Kaplan (Coach) in order to give vo0kashu motivating speeches.

A billion dollar company and they can't even spend money on decent setups that don't cause issues

FUT: They just rely on xeus to carry and then when he can't the team loses.
KC: They are inconsistent from week to week, sometimes their good, other times they aren't
BBL: They haven't proven they can beat any strong opponents
VIT: They rely to heavily on just being better at shooting rather than having actual good strats.

So that leaves EMEA with 3 teams who look good.

Since when is only beating Sen in the offseason owning them? Unless you want to count a single win before tokyo in 2023 when Sen weren't good.

I think what you're smelling is delusion

I like when she's on the analyst desk, but I hate her casting style

Sunset is horrible for me, I feel like I always get caught on a timing

No, they still have been to 8 internationals in a row, and placed 3rd at Bangkok, I think its more that their mental is shaken after the whole s1mon drama.

aspas is still in Brazil 💀

Oh, I see I wasn't sure

Since when is Derke Russian?

It is very unfortunate that DRG has to face EDG in the lower bracket again, it feels like this is always how DRG are eliminated. And now since XLG has made it to Toronto it gets even worse for DRG. I hope DRG wins, but I'm not sure if they can pull it off unless EDG's mental is still really bad after the s1mon situation.

What are the chances DRG wins?

I feel like the game they played today is completely different than when they played vitality, today it felt like they were just kind of relying on aim instead of actual good strats, while their strats against Vit actually felt good

*DRG

First, this is the first time this account has ever made a post, an indication of rage bait.

Second, nobody actually seriously thought that Apeks were going to win, they may have joked about it, but it was just jokes, that or it was just engagement bait.

Third, the only people hyping up flor to be this gods gift to valorant were her superfans, almost everyone else was skeptical of whether or not her talent would translate to VCT.

Forth, its not like she has underperformed by any margin, especially when her teammates look as terrible as they do and only provide assistance in 50% of games.

I can keep going, but I proved my point.

I mean while his shooting has definitely not looked as good, his util has been really good, just look at the amount of assists he gets.

I think it just looks like he's not doing as good because of how good the other G2 players are. Even if he goes +5 or +10, one of his teammates will probably go +15 or +20 and then he will just look not as good. Also, I feel like he is more focusing on setting up his team than focusing on being the best shooter.

0/8

You're going to need 9999 posts before a rage bait like this works

Yanmega

Imagine if 2G drop askia and silentzz and then pick up palla, and have spike come in, 2G would actually look crazy.

Also, I would say he should go to Furia, but I have zero trust in Furia to do anything with any talented player.

I wish S1mon would come to DRG and replace cangshu, it would actually be such and upgrade

This is like saying T1 doesn't have potential because they lost a map against Team Secret. Also, almost every team spams smokes and gets kills in this meta, its not like Sen are special for doing it.

I mean even if you look at the games where Jawg and Izu play Yoru, most the time they are not getting the most kills on their team with a couple of exceptions.

I think its not underperformance, rather he's just playing mainly yoru, and yoru isn't as frag focused as an agent like Jett or Raze, if you look at the Icebox against Kru when Zekken was on Jett he had a good performance despite his team not doing that well.

I mean to be fair you could say that about almost every duelist on AG
