well the stun was miss timed first of all and secondly it was due to poor comms all around the team. You can see from that round alone that the comms on sen were absolutely atrocious and would continue for the rest of the map
Also zombs has to be one of the best controllers in NA no doubt in my mind at all. The only problem is his uncaring attitude for the game and for most likely practice. The guy is similar to Sinatraa in that he probably just hates trying hard to win and like its more to just win without hard work. This wasnt a problem when sinatraa was on the team cuz sen wasnt the best yet and they couldnt get complacent because they werent able to win every single match in NA let alone the world

i completely agree and i dont know how other people have not yet realized this. I feel like its quite clear even from the first lan that zombs would be the downfall not because of his skills (cause the dude is seriously really good, the stats dont do him ANY justice at all), but simply because of the fact that zombs is one of those talents that doesnt like working hard. Its been seen from his previous games as well and honestly i just really hope that the dude doesnt end up quitting val and maybe he'll even change his work ethic and they can get him back on sen

Ive held out my hope for them so much in so many other tourneys and they kept disappointing. Now when i throw away all the hope i had for them thats when they start going crazy and start playing like close to how they did in berlin. Optic v Loud i still dont want to go for optic cause i have a feeling theyre going to disappoint again so fuck it im going loud 2-0

same and i hope whoever does end up winning this match ends up bringing it all theway to the finals and finishing it off

they definitely should not but it makes sense in order to increase the participation from all regions. It is nice we get more of the other regions but i feel like if they wouldnt be able to make it to playoffs in the first place then theyll just produce subpar matches so yes and no
overall tho i feel like looking at how far all the minor regions have come, id say theres no more need to do byes into playoffs

Haikyuu is ongoing and so far the anime steps it up with every season (i mean if ssn 4 had more consistent animation and didnt have a gap in between it would have been more hype), the next season hasnt been announced yet but im telling you if you want a heavy hitting sports anime masterpiece, haikyuu season 5 will deliver exactly that

Honestly could be the same for cleoh for defamation of character

Wouldnt the incels be the one that's rooting for sinatraa

It's just that he had to undergo training now. He most definitely will come back

I think give it a little time and theyll be really good but i dont know about qualifying for masters let alone win it

I mean poach really is something else. He lead BBG so well with such amazing strats tho they were just super nervous when they went against Rise and whiffed all their shots. They most definitely shouldve won that rise game

So reportedly Sentinels have locked in both Kanpeki and Zombs for Stage 2 of the VCT...yea...
I dont know what to feel, first off because i was expecting sinatraa and secondly this will be the first showing of sick on controller

Y'all actually thought g2 was good

Didn't the guy say he was an fa now? Even if he is restricted tho there's no way it could be that outrageous considering his results which don't speak for his skill

So no one is trying to look into rawkus right now? Like the man announced he was coming back and then just silence for the past few months. This guy is arguably one of the best fa sovas right now yet it seems like all the teams just forgot about him faze included

people over estimate loud but ok. Unless you mean theyre at 50% cause optic hella inconsistent

this thread is an atrocity

i pray

Optic Gaming
The Guard
V1 (with wippie)
C9
SEN
XSET
Knights
NRG
Luminosity
100T

hes 17 you nut

you say faze dont have a team but i think you should open up the sq page real quick

I died reading this

uhuh...

zombs and dapr arent a business its different. Ofc the world are gonna look at them in that light simply because there was a chance in which sinatraa was a sexual offender and honestly none of us can say he was but none of us can say he wasnt. Thats the biggest thing that annoys me is the fact that people claim one or the other as fact and thats what is ruining sinatraas career and the internet most likely will never let him live it down

if anyone is the child here its you. Its very clear the reason why nadeshot doesnt want to and will never negotiate with sinatraa and he even mentioned "brand image" in there, so its very clearly the controversy not the actual player himself. Nadeshot also said that as a player sinatraa could make any team he is a part of better.
To not be able to understand intent and implication is what makes you childish, not the person you were replying to

I thought this was gonna be a ban callout thread but alas its a bait.
If you think those guys are on adderall go back and watch the knights' matches

yea for their business it might be a small hit in the short term, but the amount of popularity they could garner if this team works out and theyre able to put NA back on top. The amount of money and publicity they would get would far outweight the negative

agreed, if she didnt finish him off then dont stop him from coming back to valorant. If she doesnt want him to comeback then provide riot with that "irrefutable evidence" that she has of the "rape" and then we can finally stop talking about the whole situation

i mean if it was the "conclusive evidence" she claimed of having then maybe this whole situation wouldnt be the way it is. The audio clip she provided was the most vague shit ever that could have either been literally anything, or just having regular sex. The reason riot isnt able to come to a conclusion is simply because that clip doesnt prove anything cause it could just be them playing taken out of context.

wait are you sure? My sources say 88%

you missed the other 0 in the back

yea its a true shame what the internet is

Its dumb how much damage it will cause for such a messy and rushed case with some of the weakest evidence. Its a shame that its inevitable regardless but yes im sure sentinels has talked to sinatraa and hes willing to work with them to better his image and to revert public perceptions back to what they were before

Legal team would most likely tell him to not cooperate seeing as the law wasnt involved. Sinatraa is not obligated to cooperate with Riot since its within his rights not to, and so following that most likely his legal team was the one telling him to not just spew whatever he wanted to say cause he might have let out something that could be used against him

thats true and thats what sucks about this whole thing. Both parties are probably in the wrong at certain places but at the end of the day the person that benefits from this more is cleoh seeing as she doesnt have a massive online following that she has to maintain a reputation for while she could have single handedly ruined sinatraas entire existing and potentially future careers

i dont exactly remember hearing the clip but wasnt it super vague and didnt really prove anything?

I think the whole respecting sex workers is being misunderstood here. It is definitely not just another laymans job thats just not true and it definitely cannot be seen that way. It should be normalized yes but it most definitely isnt a job that doesnt entail anything. I dont think she is wrong in starting one and it definitely shouldnt be a REASON as to why she shouldnt be believed but it most definitely makes it hard to believe her considering her claim as to what her reaction was to the experience she had and how its very closely related with what onlyfans entails. Im not saying dont believe her, im just saying that she might not be telling the whole truth especially due to her not providing the claimed "irrefutable evidence" that was and still is in her possession, because "they didnt ask her for it". That is absolutely the dumbest reason for not fully convicting a man that has abused you

Id say the most consistent NA team last year were definitely 100T. They didnt seem to fluctuate much in terms of game to game performance unlike Optic which literally would go from being one of the best to becoming a mediocre team depending on what time in the comp season it was.
This year i dont think weve had enough games to judge but i think TG. Their lan games i feel like were super harsh for them especially considering trent was super nervous and wasnt able to focus up yet they still almost beat optic.
If not TG id say probably Knights, theyre super consistent but they just arent as good as the top dogs. They really stepped it up against C9 and blew past all the expectations ppl had of them.

OPTIC AND CONSISTENT IN THE SAME SENTENCE KEKW

give them some therapists and some mental boosting drugs and theyll win every lan

nerfed FNC is quite bad but id say mainly because they didnt have the time to improve. Due to that i think id 100% say KRU

I mean honestly at this point zeta are probably no 1

1. Zeta
2. Optic
3. prx
4. loud
   could possibly be 5. zeta

I think prx as a team arent better than optic, but if they were to meet in finals prx would be the winners imo

very clearly the teams that would make it are
SEN
V1
XSET

So we can rule those out already, now for the rest these are my predictions
Knights (if they dont make a roster change cause someone is on adderall)
Akrew
GenG (theyre looking like theyre gonna have a stacked roster this time around)
NYFU (looking like another stacked ass roster)
FaZe

Not sure if these will make it
NRG (lost the IGL that got them to where they were in the first place)
TSM (well... i mean i think this one is self explanatory)
100T (not sure about their roster either)
LG (inconsistent showings)

i mean with no practice im p sure sentinels are still able to qualify, the team would stomp any t2 teams and low t1 teams

I dont think a star player is the issue, all of their players are stars in their own right and one of them will lead the game in every series. Thats not a problem. The problem is very clearly mental and this might be because of zest and his mental which leads the team down a poor path. The dude looked like he didnt even want to be playing anymore and he looked happy once they lost.

munchkin is an igl right? So maybe switch out with zest?
But the thing is tho, how good is munchkin really? He was on a team that literally were not able to win a single match against any team on LAN

I think its probably a problem with zest. I think maybe he isnt able to rally the morale enough on the team. This problem wasnt as prominent before zest was on the team imo, back then they just lacked the fire power, but now each and every one of their players are capable of clutching rounds. So id say probably switch out zest for 1, someone that is better able to support the team more consistently, 2, someone that can easily rally the morale of the entire team and bring them back from heartbreaking rounds. Also maybe 3, find an igl that isnt easily swayed by the rounds in game and always has a clear mental, someone like boaster, or shahzam. Those two are really good igls cause theyre never swayed by whats going on in the game (boaster arguably though gets affected in games where they clearly cant win so theres that

so... guess that didnt age well huh?
Forsaken isnt the primary fragger first of all for PRX and thats why ppl think hes so bad even tho he really isnt. The dude creates an unholy amount of space for the team when he isnt oping and he causes absolute havoc. His role is to take space, cause panic on the other team, and take first bloods. Hes insanely good at doing all those things. The fragger on the team, the one that finishes off the opponents, is Jing. He gets the multikills in a round and hes the one that finishes what forsaken starts. Even when hes in ranked thats usually what happens, ppl are just stupid

which map was forsaken playing poorly? I honestly dont see it.
Also forsaken isnt their primary fragger, jing is. Forsaken is the one that gets the first kills and hes damn good at doing it

yea ofc but it looks like theyre very far from 100% after they lost icebox to optic.
