calling it luck is pathetic

you just jinxed them bro

u are probably right. Still Fnatic just outclassed them in every aspect.

after fnatic performance i wont even flinch to say they are candidates to win it. Furia played well defaults and won most duels, but i would argue they played a really weak t1.

worrying about kd bro, thats cap. Talkme about trades, mechanics and impact, not fucking kd, thats so braindead

biggest letdown is liquid. They were completely dominated. Worst team is RRQ, their strats did not impress me and choked their lead.

We wont see all the teams potential up until tokio. Teams are still figuring out the meta and the strats. Pacific was highly underrated and after DRX, Talon GenG, and Secret performance plus the Fpx guys showed good potential strats and comps (PRX was kinda playing his style and underperformed). Secret prepared better i feel, their defense utility combos and some key players were incredible today. When u have no data u cant prepare for teams, but only your stratbook and his layers/and fundamentals. Today felt like Secret was a level above on that. Im sad for Redgar but some postplants were played poorly, not everyone on the same page and soulcas was no hitting anything.

underrated, and furia are overrated. If ban and carpe show up i can see them winning furia, they both underperformed on tarik tournament, and some strats did not look good. They still have saya and xeta who are tier 1 players for sure and i feel like pacific meta might surprise the aim heavy furia.

too soon to say it. If he reaches ascension u can make this threads, but as long as they are playing vs some new br unstable teams cant judge. Plus they dont have to play all the good tier 1 br rosters. Union plays well but, wait for results.

w video

First step is Zeta. Is gonna be a hard game, but i put my trust in mazino and onur. Dont underestimate japan top 1 team. Hope to see a good match

axeddy looked really bad on smokes on redbull tournament. I feel like NagZ is gonna be fine as he was Jett main before chamber. Klaus going out was a surprise, but it is for the better, as he was the weak link, on force rounds he lacked firepower, but was a monster on pistol rounds. Melser was a god on smokes and now as IGL we might get another KRU style. Xand can play anything, and if he gets more consistent they might get 1 map of Na'vi. Daveeys looked good on some maps on Redbull, so im not concerned on him. What im curious is what are going to be the roles. Nagz is gonna awp so, jett/sage/kj is a fact. Melser might stay on smokes, but we might see them trying double duelist with raze/jett, or daveeys/xand/axeddy on initiator

xd bro

mazin is not better than derrek, i would say he is the only player i dont think he is franchising level on that roster. Also they dont have a tier 1 igl so i dont see 100t losing to furia just based on aim, cuz they have solid strats and fundamentals. That said, i feel like t1 is gonna win over them, but i will cheer for furia.

Unless the one player has big problems outside of the game i dont see rosters shuffling before, and after saying that, the reason of the 6 man, is having a sub in case of these accidents. Give a roster a split and then comment, who knows the potential of a roster after losing 1 bo3 vs for example KOI who played literally one of the most consistent core of players (FNS, crashies, Victor) in attendance of International play. What your proposing is not a way of developing players.

how can u get an L every time u type

I think top 5 might be LEV-KRU-Infinity-9z-MOX. All others looked like average. Finally, the highest talent ceiling is Infinity(Fross, SUTHER, ligasa, MatiS, vaiZ) and All Knights looked grim with 6 man roster, as they lack an experienced IGL, and Furious lack stAR players. When i saw Infinity play, they might need the vaiz on sentinel and change MatiS on flex, but what do i know.

Last challengers they were average, while having 2 rosters that had some players that in my opinion are meh like deigara and puleule and hanling. Their addition of Tuli on raze/jett was great, mizu on the awp role went great, and since then they signed Mono/david who was a great player on jett but hes now on smokes, a role that in this meta now requires a cracked player for anchor. Dont know much of rubkkoide since he did not impress me on Pampas. Also the coach Romanilly has some good insight and coaching potential. They formed early into october so they might surprise. Teams like All Knights/Furious dont have that much time together, and have some weak links(rosters are not announced but i know them from leaks). Only competitors are gonna be MOX and Infinity specially since they got the best roster on paper with Fross from 9Z/SunXet who was by far his best player on both rosters, also the coach WKN is a rookie on coaching but i think he has a great mind for the role. VaiZ was an ex LEV/AUS who was a great Cypher and KJ who was hit by the chamber buff, and now he has a good chance to show his potential, alongside with the young cracked MatiS who had a great season on 6Karma. Finally Suther he has great aim but i dont know what role is he gonna play as he is an sentinel/duelist, who has both roles already fulfilled

I feel like Infinity/9z has a chance on ascension, oddik/union looks clean so they may be in that also. Fusion is a contender, but any team from LAN is doomed to fail, Reta looks good for qualification also. There's a world where these compete against the top of NA, but seriosly i think Guard is gonna make it 80%. Also dont sleep on G2/DSG.

theres an L on liquid my bro cant win

I THINK the chamber nerf hit him hard, as also he is not playing duelist jett. He's been playing really passive compared what he achieved as an aggro fragger that can awp. Who knows, they may be needing another sentinel main as the meta changed back on cypher/kj. Or with the aim he has, and with some fundamentals, he can probably outperform our expectations on him.

Valorant needs the beyond the summit style tournaments more often. By their productions on dota 2 they're always great with the ludwig organization.

Steel carry 4 tier 3 players while FNS need all top players to win. FNS could never won shit with Exalt, Clear, gengster, last dude i forgot his name

man this site is fkt

Dunno, just search individually. But i think if u dont qualify for this one, u cannot go into the next one no?

no problem, also, upper part and bottom part have 2 separations. First half of the upper starts with DR and ends on SHIFT. Then is OR until Cityboys. On the bottom the first half is NSIC until MSF, and then is OXG til' Neareast Airport. So note that i have some mistakes on the bottom part, but hope this distinction helps for prediction on upper finals. Some teams i might forgotten but i think i got some of the most notable ones. If anyone finds more just add it.

Top part of the bracket has this notable teams DR, The Nation, Perfect World(b0ssy, truo), 4D(JSUNG, nabil), Moon Racoons, The Silk Road(exBBGac), QoR(nanners), OR(lear, nillyaz, pureVNS, zeldris, Jonaaa6), Soniqs, Girl Kissers(roca, duck), The Ganaccis(bearkun, silenX, Harmon), SHIFT(Playboy Joe, nahsie), BreakThru(flyuh, aproto, brawk), Cosmic Divide(Tkaz, Kushay), Basilisk(ohai, jangler, lin), Reckaroo(GLYPH) and City Boys.
Bottom part has NSIC(exSoar), riribunobsumi (katsumi, Bob, Kat) Roy's Kitter Shelter, Skwirel Warriors, Disguised, Where is Fullerton?(okeanos, jerk, add3r, Harmful, Governor), VIRTUOSO (King, Eley, Blahst), Misfits Black, OXG, Mochi Fan Club(awkua, jovahnii) YFP(Gucc107, HUYNH, snirot, pho), no future life is over(curry, mocking), Emotional Support(winsum), Nearest Airport (geeza, Jmoh, Precision)
Some teams are know, but others i mentioned for visibility in order of appearance in the bracket. My prediction is upper bracket from top part is finals is DR vs BreakThru and bottom part is Disguised vs OXG.

same problems on b, but a is easier for attackers now. Still gonna be a ct sided map, and whoever picks it has a disanvantage, cuz they are playing a 3-9 half.

wtf didnt 33 on dota 2 won TI?? lol

L

best one ive seen

not the same role

keznit is not coming back bro :(

Lets be real, everyone thought this new KRU had 0 chance of being a top contender for top3 in Americas. That being said, we still lack to see them with Melser. After watching all games besides that last c9 match (completely strategically and firepówer wise outclassed), i think they gave some respectable showing. Axeddy is a duelist, and switching from that playstyle to controller must be weird. Im a bit dissapointed cuz he was a great aimer, but did not show it much. Also, KRU's map pool needs polishing and this map vs c9 showed it. The way they play Haven is weird to me, when they all play post plant and do not get and hold garage is weird to me, and the way they do the fakes without using manpower but only utility does not work if the oponents know you are doing it, and holding a line, with Bind also needing some cleanup. This game is gonna give lots of experience to KRU, and who knows, show some doubters they are not that bad as they showed today. Possitives are pistols, Daveeys performance, and some good maps vs top teams like Vitality, FOKUS and C9(groupstage). Xand has to get some consistency, as sometimes he drop 30 but then he is throwing rounds so, who knows. Finally NagZ showed a good KJ, and we will see what is he going to play after chamber nerf, im possitive he can play other sentinels so he is ok (can play sage, he played in the past cypher on Estrals)
TLDR: I still got impressed by KRU, but they need a couple changes on maps, consistency and Melser.

true

baiter

Pretty sure they haven't started scrimming. I think its better to look on good than the bad. MOX today played very well and also they executed almost perfect, and won 4 pistols. They made some mistakes peeking before using util, but they made good reactions. Badzito showed good firepower and they look promising for ascencion. For leviatán, i would like to say that they played 1 game with taco with raze, some character he isnt as familiar as with chamber. They should have used him on icebox, and put raze with keznit. The reasoning for this is that Onur wanted to play the first game with taco and the second with keznit, no matter what map they play. Also kingg made some bets on agressive peeks that were avoidable, but other than this they played ok. Before saying something watch the game, analize and use brain. Thanks

big questions is shin and newzera. If they can perform the yes.

i think maxie mb

my bad

i was thinking the same, as for early JP days he farmed on different roles. might be over Lmemore on my list.

i thought drx/VS got picked up all together i might be wrong

probably the best on EDG

good IGL and sentinel main.
