Oh yeah no doubt these brazilians orgs are great.. But yeah, I'd say structurally I guess I'm really picky on what a Tier 1 esport team is. Like in EMEA I would really only consider FNC, G2, Team Liquid and NaVi tier 1 teams. (As an example)

I might be too crictical.. But I would only really call NiP and Dignitas Tier 1 orgs... That aside, Brazil players are looking hella strong.. And drama aside y'all are gonna kill it in 2022!

Oh that... That's been forever ago, feel like that was well established that Vita chose the wrong player to bench

Uhm... What am I missing?

It doesn't really matter what people wanna say... If you wanna claim them to be EU or not, they're part of the EMEA region.. And I'm an EMEA fan during these tournaments :D

Never in doubt

Mexico????

You know.. They could've also just not used it...

Not caught up with season 2.. But I loved season 1

Fair enough... Can't blame them of course, I'm certain they'll make you guys proud in Europe :D

I mean EU.. No
EMEA.. Yes
That's how regions work

Wait Shalaby too? I thought only Avez

If you wanna talk about consistency, than Riot did the right thing... Giants and X10 also both got penalties for using this glitch, it's been a decently big talking point for a while... Blame Riot for not fixing this bug that's been known forever. Not for not being consistent

Can't really blame most people... They looked very below average ever after Iceland... But are doing amazing now.

Derke really is a damn good player.. But after Fnatics slump I guess it's not too hard to forget how good this man is.

After the below average performance ever since Masters in Iceland ended I really didn't have too many expectations from Fnatic... But fair play, they're really looking good. Guess they are enjoying a nice LAN buff

VLR screwed me over here... How to delete message :)

I mean his statement aside... Derke really is good

Nah y'all lost to FNC...

This joke stays absolute class xD

So for those who don't know... He tested positive a while back, he's fine to play now

Can always cast both games, no harm in that

Which is correct too, but they weren't planning on keeping the same roster.. They wanted to make roster moves, also Takej isn't on the roster anymore because of a suspension. So right now they're still 5 but assuming that'll change before the 2022 year starts

Oh that's interesting... I assume Zeta is a good guess for the Team, I am curious about the EU teams who were interested though

Yes this was known information from the very beginning? I remember when reports first came out G2 were making another move the reasoning was "Pyth didn't feel himself comfortable in the new roster, and wanted to test his luck elsewhere"

I'd love for Valorant Game Changers to have more matches streamed someway or another. They play a lot of matches and there's some really good teams, yet they hardly stream 3 matches.

Note: I am talking about the EMEA Game Changers, as I have no knowledge about the amout of matches that are held on stream in the other regions.

Worked for Guild tbf xD

Nah but DavidP's latest tweet makes me think it's not him, rather some of his teammates :/

Russ is going to Guild though... So that already seems less of an option :/

And we really don't know where the internal issues lie.. I've heard people say it's between Nukkye and Keloqz, or Nukkye and Koldamenta or Nukkye and Mixwell.. I've heard it all... Only thing I'm quite sure of, that Nukkye is one of the sides. Than again Nukkye said Lucas Rojo is now their "ex-analyst" so maybe that was the internal issue... Who even knows right

I love the idea of loanee's... Unfortunately in esports it's not normalized like in sports like Football (Soccer). I think it's great to have some young talent that can develop in peace without the pressure of beeing cut off the team. So yeah normalize loaning out players, or get an academy team is always a good option IMO

It all depends of the results of course... And looking at RB Home Grounds, that was worrying. But for a young gun to make Top 4 in Berlin, and Keloqz played well there. For those results in specific I wouldn't say he hurt the team back than. Of course Valorant is a young game and the meta is evolving beyond anyone had expected (I assume). So yeah, if players don't evolve with the meta fast enough.. That can hinder them

Keloqz is only 18, he has a lot of potential still.. So we'll see, in the words of Carlos.. Burn the boats

I don't disagree... G2 looked in absolute shambles this tournament, and honestly all the talk about what Lucas Rojo and Nukkye said on streams probably are a big reason for that. If it all went bad after 0-13 vs Gambit, maybe but I hope not.. They're pro's they should be regaining from a heavy loss, not sulking.

Pretty sure the roster move is Nukkye and/or Keloqz... Not anyone else atm

Would be really good for Heretics, I mean they have 3 spots open now.. Can just get all 3 of them even xD

If they do that again I'mma crack up laughing.

They're playing VOT with a mostly Lithuanian team.. So don't know what they're gonna do with those lads

100%, really good story.

The lowest risk move as well.. To change or extend coaching staff, after only 1 run and making Semi's in Berlin... Not winning LCQ seems to little to already make a roster move

Surely the guy is trolling

Some of them I can see, some seem weird

In his defence, https://www.vlr.gg/42211/g2-esports-vs-guild-esports-champions-tour-emea-last-chance-qualifier-lbf Bonkar is by far the lowest rated... Also Yacine said that Bonkar is and always has been the IGL.. Thank Lucas Rojo, just hasn't done a good enough job researching... On the other hand, not something you should say in an interview about another team...

Supernova is a bit far fetched, but the others are funny enough xD

Ahead maybe, way definitely not...

Or someone who believes everything others write like the alleged blocking moves, which was said to be wrong information...

Before the Gambit 13-0, G2 were always quite a good team on Icebox... It probably could rival Ascent for G2's best map... But right now it just looks like dogshit

No offense to Futbolist... They're a really good team, but I feel like G2 is just playing bad

As much as it might sound rude, it is a common issue... Turkish teams (even back in CS when Space Soldiers were a thing) often play better online than offline.. And if that is the case, you need to start looking at what ping means for these teams... It's nothing bad, but you do get used to the ping you commonly play on.

That's not too terrible... Definitely better than 100+

-Belgium
-Ascent
-Keloqz
-Vandal

Jesus your sad... Me, and many others I have truly enjoyed both sides of the smack talk. There's always gonna be exceptions, but you seem like the type of guy who sees one guy complaining and instantly think that's a whole fanbase... So honestly that's about the last time I waste on you homie.
