Sao Paulo was goated, Tokyo was goated, LA was goated, Madrid was great, Shanghai was goated, maybe they weren't better produced but they definitely had something that made them stand out. Sao Paulo and Tokyo for the crowd, LA for the overall production and walkouts, Madrid's hype was really cool, and the Shanghai walkouts and crowd was impecable

Each region should have a hosted event during the year. If instead of Seoul it was Texas or any other city in Americas it would've been perfectly balanced. Think about it, we got Madrid (EMEA), we got Shanghai (Asia), and we're missing Americas

This champs event has been one of the worst productions and events I've seen of Valorant

The crowd is lame, the walkouts are mid, the observers are whatever (don't let me get started with the stage)

The level of competition is insane, but there's litterally zero hype bro

Even the early tournaments with no crowd were better than this shit

that's called cultural imperialism

You are the only ones who call yourself Americans, there's no such thing in other languages

Aspas and kamo

america is a continent

Can't be worse than mine. Had Vitality winning against Leviatan and FPX going through as a first seed

I feel like DRX is a better team now to some extent. I don't feel like Stax, Rb, nor Zest were the problem though

title

Only org I would be happy to see him play is Vitality (and Fnatic ofc)

this guy really judges players based on a one map performance

this is one of my worst nightmares

chronicle clears p00per rex

ARDIIS IS YOUR HAIR OK

hiro flex
riens ini
yetujey senti
mrfalin igl controller
alfa duelist

Surely bro

Sayf "didn't want to play duelist" either, that's just something players say to not disrespect or sound rude to their teammates

Some of the spams were reasonably calculated. But a lot of the timings Gen.G took was because of Sentinels not fighting for space or not having any information on the map, they adapted really late to their timings

Today's match was a mix of Gen.G having the read of Sentinels every time, and Sentinels not knowing how to adapt to Gen.G, the SEN players were also throwing some advantegeous rounds here and there, and won most rounds because of individual plays. SEN's igling looked really predictable and Gen.G had the read every single time, the only reason why that haven wasn't a 13-0 for Gen.G is because they lost crucial gun fights

I didn't mind the Deadlock, but I didn't like she being used as a primary sentinel instead of secondary. At times, Sentinels couldn't get any profit from john's utility

They have a lot to work on if they want to go on a deep run, individually speaking, most of their players looked alright. Zekken having a bad game didn't really help much, but he was creating space as he should have. 4/10 debut

that's the past bro..... obviously you have to win every event to be considered good.....

What would Victor play here? Mitch is initiator, Oxy is duelist, skuba is controller, verno is flex, and Victor sentinel? I think there's other better options than Vic. I wouldn't mind him flexing a bit, but idk what to feel about this roster

trying is free

ain't reading allat

Unlikely to happen since M80 is winning Ascension

This is not football. All characters move at the same speed, all the characters have the same health, all the characters use the same weapons. This is not a class shooter, this is not Overwatch, mechanics are mostly the same for all characters

Roles on this game are not as defined as football. Roles are based in playstyle, all of the players you just said would be capable of flexing if that was the case. If you want to get a japanese roster where all the players are specialized in a single role, you will not have it, because there are no japanese players who are specialized in single a role that will dominate tier 1

Look at Liquid, they have 5 players with locked roles and they haven't innovated in comps all year, because only one of their players can flex. A roster of Aspas, T3xture, Jinggg, Zekken, and OXY isn't IDEAL role wise, but don't pretend like these players would be completely dogshit if they played other role. The only reason why they don't flex is because they are way too good on their role to flex

The players I proposed for DFM are capable of flexing, don't pretend like they're not. You can criticize the barrier languages, you can criticize the my picks and why you would replace X player with X player, but roles wouldn't be the reason this roster loses

Roles on Valorant are not as one-dimensional as you make it seem

So you're saying that talented and salaried players are incapable of flexing?

Of course, it's not ideal, but it's either force meiy to speak english or he will never win a trophy with a japanese roster

When korean pros played on some japanese rosters, the pros who were fluent in both japanese and korean translated in real time what other teammates were comming to the korean player

I'd imagine that something similar would happen here, since Yotaa, Saya, and Yoshiii are fluent in both english and japanese

Duelists players don't comm that much in pro play anyways, most of the time there's a silent player that doesn't comm much but still performs really good (Leo, Trexx, Demon1, etc)

And I'd imagine he knows the basic callouts in english, it'd be weird for a VCT pro player to not know any english at all

Yoshiii is the goat wdym

Funnily enough, a team of Aspas t3xture jinggg zekken and oxy could work role wise

Is almost like, salaried professionals could flex a little bit

Difference with Yay is that Yay never flexed, but most of these players did

I choose Yotaa over seoldam cus I'm aware that Yotaa is a lot more fluent in english

Why wouldn't they rerole? A lot of teams get duelists mains just to make them rerole, it's succesful

Lucas Rojo is a really intelligent fellow and leader, they wouldn't struggle in the process. And also, Yotaa and meiy have played other roles in the past

• Remove EVERYONE but keep Meiy
• +Sayaplayer
• +Yotaa
• +Yoshiii
• +JoXJo
• +Lucas Rojo (HC)

so the whole thing was bait

he's just going to be on a content video with liquid

why is ur ass verified bro you just created your account a couple hours ago😭

I'm just at the beginning of S11

From S1 to S5 it's goated, S6 to S8 it's good, S9 to S10 it's mid

I'm tryna finish it bc my bff it's telling me to finish it so we can talk about it

Even though AMC spoils you which characters live bc of the spin-offs, but it's whatever honestly

I actually started to watch TLOR very recently, I've liked it so far

I'm trying to end TWD first, so then I can watch TLOR without having to worry about never finishing TWD

My name online has always been Dan, and when I figured that it was too generic, I decided to rebrand

I've never been a book guy, and I never heard of J R R Tolkien before (I knew some of his work, but never knew his name)

But I'm a really big fan of Epic Rap Battles of History, and I crossed upon the "J. R. R. Tolkien vs George R. R. Martin" rap battle. This video piqued my interest, so I decided to google some of J R R Tolkien's work

I opened a tab that showed all of his work, and one of them was "The Hobbit"

Didn't really care that much when I saw it, but when I decided to create a Blizzard account to play some Overwatch and it asked me to select a username, I thought that naming my account "Hobbit" would be funny, and it's been my username ever since

I'm also a casual CS viewer, and one of my favorites players from the scene is HObbit

I mean, Bleed dropped the bag for only one player

fnc - real madrid
navi - man utd
nrg - chelsea
lev - psg
sen - liverpool

cant think of more

Keiko staying and Sheydos joining Liquid is not realistic

I mean, 2023 Liquid had a lot of problems, but Soulcas wasn't one of them

All of his teammates and scrim opponents said he was really confident and frying people on scrims

Just like Boo in 2023, a scrim demon that lacked confidence in officials. I actually think that this is a reformed Soulcas, if he has the confidence and the correct team enviroment, I don't see a reason to not give him one more chance

Liquid can take advantage of the Apeks partnership, he has synergy with the coach and ScreaM, really vocal teammate. There's not much Ascension initiators that plays the game on a level like he does

This list is by no means team I'd want on MY team, but rather players that I think would fit on Liquid the most

I think that my roster would be the best team for Liquid given synergy points and taking advantage of the Apeks partnership

I also don't know enough of Profek's and Waddle's personality to put them on an emotional team like Liquid

Just like Fnatic, Sentinels, or Heretics

Derke is the emotional leader in Fnatic, Zellsis is for Sentinels, and Benjyfishy too

As I said in the post, ScreaM is an emotional player, so I think that he would take that emotional pillar role in the team again

I don't see the synergy on this

I don't think that Liquid will ever go for a CIS roster. But if that was the case:
-d3ffo
-B1sk
-Zeddy
-Kiles
-sickrey
-Sayonara
-chiwa
-sheydos

Just spitting some names. But I really don't think is ideal building a CIS roster given the amount of talent there is in other countries

+ANGE1 +Redgar +Sheydos +d3ffo

keep enzo

The only reason I put him is because I want to see how different he will be after getting is confidence back playing for Apeks

One of the players I had in mind instead of Soulcas were (in order):
-paTiTek (I think that he's better than Soulcas, but I think that getting Soulcas will be a faster option for Liquid, and probably a "safer" pick for the players and coaching staff)
-Ruxic (Awesome controller player, didn't choose him because of potential language barriers and role flexibility)
-zeek (Great initiator in tier 2 currently, same as Pati, I think it's a safer bet for Liquid to choose Soulcas. And everyone knows all the trouble zeek had with certain tier 1 team in the past)
-sociablEE (Really good flexible player, though really old for any team to pickup in my opinion. Same as Ruxic, may have potential language barriers)
-Flickless (Possibly the 2nd best flex in Rising, but fails to perform greatly in the important moments. Thought of him because of possible sinergy with ScreaM cus of the french roots)

I'm also a Soulcas fanboy, and I just want to see him return to tier 1 and perform well
