Ethos being NRGs 6th man in champs still shocks me till this day.
And I might be tripping but didnt they trial him after champs (I remember Chet leaking scrims with N4RRATE Yay and Ethos?)
I still dont get why NRG trust him as a 6th man isnt he a yoru one trick (Maybe because hes a cc for them already so hes cheap (Not in a mean way) )

Thank god they fixing it

True 2024 gameplay is kinda boring imo. So many teams just run omen on every map at least 2023 they had some astra and viper + Harbour combos

His three smokes are acc a good rush bomb site plan

2024 might be the best year in terms of agent balance (Ignore the stupid ISO and Neon meta that shit is light comparing to the other insane metas)

Wasted to much jet fuel

Honestly it might be better than what ppl expected. We are in for a treat.
Yay rumoring coming back + Something rumored to be transitioning to AMER

How about Brim, I saw it from the T1 vs FUT game and its kinda do-able

I guess its just too much cope

True but i doubt Tuyz will ever play harbour again since he transitioned to initiator/ Deulist + Viper harbour LOUD meta gone

Lack of experience, Not old enough, Cant play cypher, Only an omen and flash initiator player, Johnnyboy is good, Not better than the NA igls

Another reason i put s0m up there:
Pearl is coming back to map rotation next patch or something and we all saw how good Harbour/ Astra is on pearl and i think s0m is one of the only good harbour players in AMER rn

Johnqt could replace FNS

TenZ is never a good CONTROLLER player, hes a great omen player. s0m can flex on basically every controller in the game

But isnt that what happened to NRG at the start of 2024? They didnt consider about Demon1 not being comfortable on Raze and instead forcing Victor on cypher and brimstone. They never even consider looking back to why EG was so successful ( Really good duelist players rotating system where Demon1 focus on astra and jett and Jawg on Raze and astra/ Omen)

Duelist: Aspas
Controller: s0m
Initiator: Sacy
Sentinel/ Secondary smokes: Less
IGL/Flex: FNS

Only included players that are currently playing any im ignoring the language barrier

And thats the problem. No one on this imaginary NRG roster knows how to play raze or Neon. Yays Raze looks rough i doubt they put him on raze i mean his neon did pull out some numbers against T1 but it wasnt the greatest. s0m did play raze in the early days but he IS NOT going back on duelist

I lowkey think NRG wont sign Yay unless FNS have full confidence in activating him to his 2022 form. If NRG have the line up you are talking about:

FNS: Secondary smokes/Initiator
s0m: Main smokes
Yay: Senti (There is no way they are going to let him play duelist)
Demon1: Secondary duelist/ Smokes
Something: Main duelist/ Secondary Initiator?

Of course you know
He could leave if he wants to if he sees no success in PRX in 2025 or if any americas team is offering him a spot in NA

Got some words from my buddies in China :D :D :D
Something is allegedly not playing with PRX in recent scrims and is trialing a Japan challengers player HYUNMIN (Korean/American Peak #4 NA and #18 APAC ranked) https://www.vlr.gg/player/28400/hyunmin/?timespan=all

According to the source Something will be leaving? PRX if the trial went successfully and he will transition to AMER (Not sure what team he is playing for yet)
And someone whos playing in APAC servers said that Something has been playing initiators/ Duelist in APAC
Interestingly when something was in China for Shanghai he was practicing fade and he was duoing with someone, alledgedly something said "Ok but only fade". But he only pulled fade out once in the entirety of his carreer
All sources are not confirmed by any means just rumors i heard :D :D :D
Here is link from OG video: https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1TVWTeDEDh/?spm_id_from=333.880.my_history.page.click&vd_source=97463f9bfd0179f2b89c473c044bb155

How is that Flair and rage bait?

Sleep Aspas
Sleep C0M
Sleep Mazino
Sleep Tex
Sleep Kinggg

Wake up Smoggy
Wake up Kangkang
Wake up s1mon
Wake up nobody
Wake up Chichoo

Eh, it wasnt competitive and the format is shit and alot of teams had very easy matches. But its nice to see all the franchising teams at that point and see them play (Even tho it was kinda disappointing especially liquid and Clout9 and Sen)
But at least the all the winless teams got 5 grand :D :D :D that is definitely enough for their roster rebuild righttttttttt :D :D :D :D

Minibum? Minigoat

Just got reminded from the heretics game that Karmine corp also run Neon on icebox, but what the actual fuck is my man engh cooking up.
Triple initiator solo harbour no viper and focking neon, like this is the first time i saw any tier one teams run skye on this map.
Their Lotus comp is mid Sova is barely used on this map

TenZ didnt have a technically bad game, he just underperformed but if u watched the stream his util and aim was acc incredible

Fair

There were def some flaws with the old roster but i lowkey felt like that they can do so much more than the new roster. Dont get me wrong flashback is great Foxy9 is pretty good and BeYn is great as a hype person. But I think the OG lineup will do greater things because of their higher individual skill level + Stax being comfortable on the IGL instead of MaKo transitioning to IGL in the middle of the year. If they didnt have that player rotation system they wouldve done so much better in tokyo

But if hes the coach he doesnt have to "Lead a team in difficult situation" He can just be an AC and assists the Head coach into making decisions

I thought Brazilians speak spanish more than portuguese

NAVI??? QUOTIONERX??? Second generation NAVI Cned

I needed to make my title short but my whole idea is what languages (That you speak fluently) makes you have an easier chance to be signed in tier one valorant right now
My opinion:
S: Chinese, English
A: Korean, Spanish
B: Turkish, Japanese
C: Thai, Russian/Ukrainian, Filipino
I dont know these are the main ones i can think of, im not trying to cause conflicts or anything just curious

ur weird for dropping ur sen flair

I mean he was LOUDs second caller and in a video he said he didnt want to IGL because of his english but his english is acc good

This guys english is acc really good hes almost as fluent as a native english speaker and he basically has 0 accent
Maybe SEN shouldve let him call in 2023 instead of Marved idk

https://www.vlr.gg/248282/fnatic-vs-loud-valorant-champions-2023-playoffs-lr3
he went -22 im pretty sure u were talking about this game cause u talked about still be in the tournament

Didnt chron underperform Boaster didnt do that badddd righttt

zero on you 3 on me

Time for the masters winner buddy soon

I mean they did get the 85k to replace boaster i guess

I can count how many rounds Fnatic won on lotus

The stage belongs to minibum

Chat is this just a curse for this fraud team

Johnnyshittytactics clears Fenis

Heretics winning for sure right

Did this guy just whiffed 5 shots on his initial target and just landed one last shot on a player that is facing his back towards him

What in the holy richness.
So u have the ignite fan all 4 of the champs bundle arcane sheriff?

HUEHUEHUEUEHUHEUEUHEUEEUHEUEUEHUEUEHEUEHEUHEUEUUHEUHEUEUEH MEMEA HERETICS ONLY HOPE NOW ITS GGS
