Yes, that's why I also brought up ACS,KD.
More to the point, the FKPR-FDPR indicator is also excellent with either agent.

Aspas holds a rating of 1.49 with both Raze(126 RND) and Jett (84 RND), an ACS of 290+ and a K/D of nearly 2. There are plenty of duelists like Demon1,Cryo(Jett) and Keznit(Raze) who are good at one or the other, but this guy is insane.

They are all young, strong players who played a great match offline in the Challengers final, and they deserve a tier 1 team over ZETA and DFM.
Especially SyouTa, CLZ and Xdll from FENNEL and Akame and Hals from REJECT will be good in tier1 with their individual abilities.

lol They are not qualified to say anything when they lose to TTR.

Four members from each of these teams are in the bottom 10 rated teams in league.
EG jawgemo, Apoth, supamen, Derrek
FURIA mwzera, kon4n, Khalil, havoc
KOI kamo, ShadoW, starxo, Sheydos
This is not the worst team, as only three are ranked from M8 and DFM.

I think they are the most passionate fans in the whole region as they enthusiastically call Lets go liquid at the venue. Why do they love TL so much?

This 17 year old boy from 2006 entered the official competition scene last season, but at the time had a phenomenal HS% (40%).
At this year's Split1, he also had very good stats in other categories besides HS%, leading SAW to the championship.
I know that the level of the competitive scene in Portugal needs to be taken into account, but this is a young player that I personally have my eye on.

GO CN LEAGUE

The gap between the TOP 2 (FNC, NAVI) and the rest of the teams is growing hopelessly wide
TL, FUT, and GIAX have failed to reinforce their efforts.
There is no other region where the two teams going to Madrid are so decided.

DRX was clearly not giving its all.
As the caster pointed out during the match in the Japanese distribution,
especially on the offensive side, the emphasis seemed to be on breaking the phase out of individual shootouts,
rather than on great set plays using skill.

DRX 2 - 1 DFM

Today
C vs D D win.
S vs D D win.
Its funny.

https://youtu.be/qVsS0W8cr2w?si=DbyBFN-GEIE4WYyk

S - PRX SECRET
A - DRX T1 GENG
B - RRQ DFM
C - BLEED GE
D - ZETA TALON

TLDR - their impressions based on scrimming them + what they know (yoinked from reddit)
PRX very coin flippy right now with monyet, at peak they can beat anyone at worst they lose to even the worst teams
ZETA TALON look very uncoordinated with basics like their comms suck or something
KR teams seem to all beat each other so can’t tell much, GENG doing very well in scrim tho
BLEED very strong individuals but their strats are very basic and readable right now (cuz new team probably) pretty sure their scrims are going badly
GE also decent mechanics not much team identity
high praise for DFM meiy called him a potential superstar and “jp aspas” (also praised fennel syouta) said these 2 are future of jp valorant
nothing specific about SECRET and RRQ just seems to think they’re strong teams (esp SECRET)

True Rippers is stronger than GE. They should have pulled them out and added them to their team.

Well, when the NA Challengers opens, NA will be the second most watched region.

At least, the popularity in France is definitely more accompanied by competence than the popularity in Japan. lol

CS? No. VAL? No.
PAL.

If OXG were to enter this league, it would be among the top five teams.

He spoke confidently in a video immediately following the announcement of his joining, saying, "We will be stronger than DFM in 2023.
Maybe he has come to grips with reality.

mwzera could have moved on to LOUD if he didn't get hung up on the duelist role. He stayed with the shitty team because he wanted to reign as the king of the team. He deserved it.

That would have been influenced by the division in the team as one of the reasons. I think his spirit would be very stable with a group of hometown players he knew.

No one will complain, because SkRossi and DEATHMAKER can both have operators, which is quite powerful.

1st dualist:SkRossi
1st initiator:hellff
smoke:Techno
flex(2nd smoke, initiator):Lightningfast
sentinel,2nd duelist:DEATHMAKER

Remember that FENNEL put up a good fight against FNATIC in REDBULL and then was beaten by C9. the true value of TR will be clear in the next game.

It will be a banger match.

Dep smurfing

DFM 13－8 ZETA

If you value mwzera so highly as a duelist, why couldn't he move to LOUD to replace Aspas? He must be better than qck, right? He is not going to achieve true success just trying to do well in a weak team where his position is guaranteed.

Aspas>mwzera

Don't worry, last hope NA disappeared from the tournament a few days ago.

C9 2-0 ZETA.
yesterday Haven was not good enough for C9 and too good for ZETA. No repeatability.

FPS Tournament in Brazil = Worlds in Korea

You are absolutely right, Carlão has done a great job of protecting the players from the hate of the fans as well as the usual coaching duties.

Brazilians have the national character to be outraged before they worry about him for posting a light joke about Brazil's security when Sadhaak was robbed. Their inability to remain calm and sensible about anything like that makes their criticism of Carlao far from a credible assessment.

Brazilian fans like to claim that Carlao is all bad. But considering that dgzin has not even performed well in games against tier2 teams, wasn't Carlao a good coach as well as a protector of his players from the hate of the fans? At least last year's FURIA looks stronger than the current FURIA.

I can honestly say that I have nothing but apprehension when I look at FURIA's recent games since the new regime was put in place.
kon4n and liazzi are far from the performance that was expected. Next year will be a year of just gaining experience.

What was rumored among the underground VALORANT community in Japan was true.

In terms of individual results, ScreaM and Nivera were not bad at all; MiniBoo was worse than that.

Hmmm, it seems to me that MiniBoo was hired as a duelist most likely because he is a blood relative of Boo. And he never did well at EMEA Ascension.

Why did they hire MiniBoo as their duelist? Was he hired at the behest of Boo?
He has a mediocre record at EMEA Ascension except for his HS%, which is clearly not up to international league standards.
Rating 0.84
KAST 60%
FDPR 0.2
HS% 39%

VALORANT and CS2 are different games. Why are you trying to compare them on the same scale?

In CS2 match,
Zywo > Demon1
Simple > tenz
Niko > leo

In VAL match,
Zywo < Demon1
Simple < tenz
Niko < leo

Over.

The average rank of Japanese GC players is around Ascendant to Immortal, and since suzu is the only woman in Japan who has ever soloed and achieved the rank of Rediant, it was easy for her to dominate the Japanese GC scene.

Haha, if the rumors are true, that's a sorry choice.
They should consider adopting mini or mCe.

Salary caps are only effective when far more money is at stake.
Esports players' annual salaries are far less than those of the four major sports, so if a cap were set, it would be impossible for any star player to earn the salary of a typical salaried worker for the rest of his or her life before retirement.

Assuming 20 teams in each league, that means all teams that participated in this year's Ascension will join the league, correct?
To be clear, I don't think Dplus, Orangutan, ONE TEAM, etc. should be able to compete in one of the best leagues in the world this year. It will only lead to a lower level.

FUT????????

JP official, and Shaka.
I think Japanese stream is basically terrible.

To be honest, it is quite difficult to make EMEA regions go viral because the competing titles are too strong; we will need certain popular teams like G8, KC, and KOI to get the momentum going. Polaris, however, were not strong enough for Apeks, and it would have been nice if a team like HEROIC or AST had come in with a strong roster.
