It's currently SPG's highpoint so anything I say will be taken negative hence i will wait and let time do the talking. But just wanted to remind people that maybe they should look back at past results right from 2021 and see who has won SEA+KR+JP tourneys and which region those teams belonged to ...

I don't like this meta man having Neon is almost guaranteed win on some maps against teams who don't run it.

He will be fine this map dw neon is carrying every washed pro to glory again

Nah those are always JP matches especially Riddle vs SPG

Watch from 12-9 every round is a cinema albeit lots of throws especially from Naos.

Universe plays(India) ??

Not true at all , the thing is at a good level of valorant util matters much more than aim , if you set your duelist up for success he will definitely kill multiple if he is actually good.
SPG and FS are much more well drilled - great util setup, great discipline, great leta exploitation with neon.
The best raw aimers in tourney are DSG guys followed by Boom . Let the tournament continue you will see you will see

Nothing is guaranteed in an ascension which has team from 10 different regions bringing completely unique flavour to the event.
SPG could hv lost to Riddle if not for that throw in map 1.
Similarly Boom almost made a comeback in Icebox and Rvnt started 7-0 up against them on bind.
So yeah SPG doesn't look flawless as such

+1 here no bias JFT 2-0 I even have different flag boys

Always on your side RNT ,just give it your best shot , winning or losing is all part of the game

It doesn't really matter coach has veto plus ping difference is why Xan dropped 39 in trials and Tixx played worse than Helliff.
Unfortunately people don't realise it and end up rejecting better players in trial

Trials in singapore server, coach who came from sg/Malaysia T2 - by common sense which sub-region players are going to perform well in trials and get selected?

He made it through open trials ,onto last stage i.e. closed/invite only trials

Idk why you guys don't realise but this grouping of all regions of SEA into 1 is going to make them stronger with every passing year due to better competition.
That's why this is the best chance that other regions like India, Oce have before it becomes virtually impossible to ascend

You don't need stats ,neon is completely broken rn and so many teams are succeeding purely bcz of neon which is viable in every map rn
In current meta not having a good neon player is ggs.
Keep watching ascension pacific finals would be between 2 teams which run neon

We weren't this way last year what are you talking about?
We took maps off finalists and were decent atleast in matches we lost.

Yess assistant coach for ascension

He will unnecessarily push and over peek on Jett , there's no point in that either, prob with time his util will improve

When you are most loved and overhyped pro from a region and yet fail to perform year after year , it's obvious that hate will be directed towards you by literally everyone man..

Yep hopefully otherwise bigtime being signed as Assistant coach (immediately after GE dropped him ) would become wasted money too

The current slot distribution is probably perfect and there is no need to touch it for atleast 2 years. If even after that GE can't develop Indian scene and JP can't compete internationally we can think about small modifications

He has been allowed to explore and most likely you will see him at Global eSports this year

Plz win guys RVNT has done everything for you , you have been bootcamping in Thailand since champions scrimming every top team . Don't come back empty handed after all that investment

internationals or only vct events ?

SPG hasn't looked all that was promised, whacky comps and aggro gameplays only work till you come across 5 aim demons who are disciplined - Time for Boom or bust show

The only chance they have is winning this matchup , their playstyle is similar to Dsg and DSG is going to roll them over next match just on the basis of man to man diff

Kr1stal woke up in lower final and he is fragging like last year again. I am afraid that sounds deathbell for Rare atom

Mad man he is going crazy aim diffing a team full of top tier aimers

If RNT can't win this then it's time for our region to rethink everything collectively and work extra hard for next year

Bro DSG isn't even playing bad but wow Full sense another level altogether

The quicker riot realises how broken neon is , better it is for the game bcz neon is able to single- handidly win unwinnable rounds.
On that note SPG and Riddle fans should be happy since they both have a good neon player and this ascension is going to be decided on who has a duelist who can play neon at high level

SPG

I know Dos9 underperformed but honestly I am used to it now , Azys was even more dominant in India last year but he underperformed, Skrossi has been underperforming for years now.
So I really have no hopes of dramatic improvements from Dos9 either bcz in India you can play like it's a ranked game and get away on the aim but in international teams hv good micro and they won't let you do that nonsense which all Indian scene Smurfs are used to

We don't have deep enough talent pool brother bcz we don't hv enough player playing on high level.
But about ranked honestly tracker score alone is bs to judge people bcz we have to play on high ping and trust me ping makes a huge huge difference ( just see paradox and tricky's tracker ever since they went to Thailand for ascension a month back)
Also tbh we 3-4 good players scattered across teams who can compete well.
But if it makes you happy we have this guy named Levi, if he keeps working hard like he is doing now he will make it to VCT and do well in next 2 years and you can write it down

He is playing for GE this year in T1 dw Viet bros

Naos is miles better than RNT and even JFT.
Fs and DSG are better than SPG.
Rest is perfect

Boom has clearly upgraded on their weak links from last year and they are really here to play
Anything less than a grand finale apperance is going to take some under-performance from them

The winner of this may go on an underdog run and loser is surely getting 0-2ed

Let them play against better competition bro today was just aim diff

Yess i put 4 of them in list last year for guys who deserve T1 and 5th wayne is great too.
Coming into the tournament they bring the heaviest firepower kind of like scarz of 2023 and I am afraid they will hv same trajectory otherwise we are seeing yet another my/sg team ascending

This

I think Naos is better team but Boom's firepower is scary , I hv watched all Pacific leagues here and there but Mann Indonesia has scary aimers.
But having said that Famousz isn't having good time in ranked on practice pcs unlike dsg guys who are all going on a tear rn

He has just left duelist agent but that guy can't let go the playstyle which doesn't work.
Skrossi will peek you from most random angles,stand in open and continuously re-peek and take fights.
A good team like SPG has aim to stop this nonsense and gamesense to not be caught by surprise

Are you sure you are Bangladeshi?? A decent phone in India costs 20k inr and decent pc costs 100k inr at the minimum. It's a huge huge gap most Indians don't even earn 100k inr a month how will they spend it on a leisure thing like goo pc ?

Having passion for something and having means to work towards it are two seperate things brother.
Yess you are right there are loads of Indian involved in Valorant and it's a good thing bcz atleast they care about a pc game for first time. You know it only became possible bcz it runs on low level laptops and internet is cheaper in India now.
But you can't go pro or dominate others with metered connection and mid gaming laptops which is what 90% of Indian playerbase currently can afford

Yep if we are talking about overall numbers yess china has much more deeper talent pool but our top teams are better than their top T2 teams by a margin.
The former Orangutan roster used to scrim against DRG roster and this year's Rare atom roster when they were newly formed nd the scoreline was never even close.
Orangutan used to win like 13-5, 16-10 etc

There is no indian T1 and nope Chinese T2 isn't better than Indian T2. It's an exact mirrored but slightly worse version of Indian scene dominated by imports and some top tier local duelists all trying to outaim each other

We don't hv single decent yoru btw , nobody cares about micros in India and it comes to bite them in international

I mean this team is import carried much more heavier than any team in Indian T2 it's a known fact but at the end of the day , Rvnt gave those unknown Kazakh kids a chance and they are representing Indian region here

China is playing like Indian T2 bro they don't clear anything
