thoughts on this new team that has totally and completely just appeared in this tourny (totally serious)

its a 31 year age gap, Jake knows what hes doing.

they could do what they did at the RBHG tournament, have reduxx play jett and try to pull off a double duelist or double init comp.

1. Prime
2. Prelude (pretty close to #1)
3. Primordium
4. Reaver
5. Kuronami
6. Gaia
   Personally, Gaia was a skin that sure i would pick up if it was there but if there was any one of these skins on the floor i would take it over gaia.
   I ranked these of use and how good they feel when you get a kill, the prime headshot has always been one of the cleanest headshot sounds in the game.
   i feel more confident with the top three skins because i am so used to the feel and sound of the skins. (i may just be schizo but whatever)

unlucky #DFMWIN

Any DFM info?

more overreaction at an off season tournament.
In everything except aim (sometimes), FNS is better.

this is a crazy thing to say, he may not have the best jett, but hes a very good jett player.

they are limit testing, FNS said this is a great tournament for practicing with the new squads.
things are going to change going into the regular season.

just because they won once, doesnt mean its that serious.
even FNS said this is great practice.
this shit DOES NOT matter.

off season event guys lets stop overreacting.

yall got to remember his raze won SEN madrid. he showed neon (i think) after madrid.
everyone has stinkers, lets calm down.

skin now

they are both tall as fuck.

dudes massive.

i remember reading about 5-10 chapters of it a year ago, left it on "planning to read" in my list since then. will finish it.

if you got any recomendations of manhwa like 'The Legend of the Northern Blade" i would like to hear em.

Nah Moose is the off season king, bros gonna become prime aspas and clutch like LCQ derrek.

i Cant pick a list tbh, i thought the whole album was good.

To be fair, im not entirely confident in EG ether. They have to make it work with an inexperienced duelist and a sentinel that is coming off one of his worst years in T1.

While replacing jawgemo is almost an impossible task with how flexible he is and how much firepower he brings, i think Sym, though unproven, can have enough impact for EG to take a couple games.

Apoth though, He always had great timings and brought rounds back just by himself. That doesnt mean yay cant do it ether.
I honestly think yay can become that sentinel that always just appears and makes a huge impact on certain rounds.

im trying to give faith (or cope) for this team, but it became increasingly harder since Jaw left, and after all the memes and backlash for not paying their players. It's hard for them to try and yoink a star duelist from another team.

Fair point, he did throw a few times.
Give him time and experience under a coach like potter and i personally think he will be good.

Look, Jaw is among the best duelists in Americas.
But at some point EG had to accept he wanted out. You gotta look at T2 for talent.
T2 Americas teams all have insane duelist.
Let her Cook.

Cant even use the stand in excuse here, makin it even harder to defend this shit.

Supposedly next week, Nov 1-3.
probably not on vlr because they havent said which teams are playing eachother on the days.

Off season stuff. Pretty excited to see the new teams, especially NRG and EG. (whoever EG actually get.)

100T is a little iffy, but i think G2 didnt accept because Jaw, trent, and Valyn were doing that EU tournament. so they probably wanted them to rest before coming back and starting scrims.

Oh mb, i dont think theirs gonna be a gimmick. its should just be a regular off season event to show the new teams. (atleast, the teams that were invited to play.)

actual teams, EG unknown tho.

Nah i think these are gonna be the actual teams, idk about EG tho. those mfs can do anything.

Teams are C9, EG, SEN, and NRG.
this is a stacked tournament already. gonna be some good matches.

#DFMWIN

i feel recently (even though the JP teams havent done well) the JP scene in terms of valorant has grown a lot so that can bring more talent, like Gyen.
i know this has been said a lot but JP needs a spark. i WANT to see another JP team go on a run like ZETA did during Reykjavik.
ill give Japan as much time as they need to get a good team together.

i honestly think this year could be a turn around for Japanese Valorant scene.
Yeah they probably wont make a masters, but that doesnt mean you count them out.
remember what happened with ZETA during Reykjavik. Never doubt the underdogs when it comes to valorant.

i been sayin, let the kid gain his confidence. people started giving up on him TOO early.

Yeah they threw hella rounds, but that'll (hopefully) be cleaned up with time.
Ready to see what they can cook up for the regular season.

Tbf, they tossed a few rounds.
Ill chalk it up to early roster mistakes. Really hope they clean in up in time for the regular season.

it could miss, CLZ could've peeked off of the shock dart. bunch of hindsight stuff. he had the right play just RNG smacked him in the face.

Prob got a comm that he was 1 shot. he didnt have ammo so decided to take the fight.
Just rewatched it, every single shot he took went to the right of CLZ head.

that had to be RNG there, every single shot he took there was a painting around his head.

i feel like he had enough ammo in the odin, missed the gun pickup and whiffed EVERY SHOT.
thats ether RNG just shitting in its hands and clapping or a bad play.

i say give him time, Gyen is 18 and has plenty of time to develop.
this is his first ever official, yeah Aace is proven but DFM must have seen something with Gyen. let them cook, i believe in them this year.

Nah, build on this. i feel like he could be good.
Aace may have proved himself in tier 2, but give this guy a chance.
18 years old, plenty of time to develop as a player.

first game in an official ever, gotta give him some time.

is this his first time ever on stage?

sova ult into the spike bouncing over right into Estrella.

am i the only one thats excited to see this team progress?

i wasnt sure ether, on his VLR it said AC for moist moguls then just "Coach" for MXS, i just assumed he got the promotion.

SEN are probably not pushing hard for a AC because of how good Kaplan does as HC, wouldnt be bad to have AC though, MXS seemed to do well while he was HC and even as a player.

i know these RB spreadsheets can be very iffy, and its just a rumor (https://x.com/RocketBullets/status/1847033416140587504)
but i do know that half way through the ascension season Oderus started playing for MXS, before he was also an AC.
if this becomes true, how good of a pickup is it?

Edit: looked at VLR and it says he was actually HC, a little crazy but cool info nonetheless.

i honestly thought she was staying with EG because of Jawg, losing him is basically losing the core of the roster she likes to build around.
After losing Jawg i feel like that's when She will decide to leave, their is a 0% chance that she doesn't have offers from other teams.
The only problem is, theirs a huge chance that She wouldn't want to be anything but head coach.
