You know it’s 2 shots if they have heavy armor and it’s not as fast as you can pull the trigger… honestly in the 4 games I have played I haven’t seen anyone hit 2 shots back to back on the same target unless it’s up close.

The zoom makes the gun worse imho

Asuna was above average in a year when his team was dogshit.

He is like Tenz.

Some nerds just like to hate on good players.

Inb4 they make an EG style run to challenge for a top 3 slot in the Americas and everyone says “I knew they would be good with Boostio.”

Easily the most underrated team in the Americas right now.

Last year at this time they were thought by most people to be a top team. They have just made two big upgrades this offseason.

Downvoted for truth 😆

I know it’s mostly trolls from other regions…. But people keep rating MIBR above….. ANYONE and that’s insane.

Very good chance MIBR is the worst team in the world.

Put Sen up a tier and Furia up a tier.

Not a bad list.

They were not even considered the best team in t2 last year by many people.

Leaf is definitely an upgrade, but it’s hard to win in such a stacked region with only 2 stars.

Anything above 6th should be considered really good for them.

You forgot to say “after not making the finals of the only tournament that matters each year.”

;)

Odd move from the outside.

Maybe his English wasn’t great or he didn’t get along with someone?

Shhh bitch

Once you’re older than 13 you’ll realize numbers in your name are not cool.

They are data mined.

Riot knows they will be data mined and leaked so in essence riot leaks it’s own stuff.

I think m0g has a good future, but proj is just another t3 duelist.

This is true, but it’s always been this way in esports.

Only “rich” countries have representation. That’s why Africa and most of SA have little to no representation.

Even huge countries like India struggle because of a lack of money.

Esports are for the rich. If we think globally, anyone with a good computer and internet access is wealthy.

Does his name mean something?

Adams family on Netflix had a similar vibe.

Fate the Wynx saga

B main is okay, I just think it makes the game less dynamic / more boring.

I hate the other change, it DEFINITELY makes things more linear.

The tube change opens things up and makes it more dynamic.

The spawn box once again makes things less varied.

I’m tired of riot always changing maps to make them less interesting.

Love the change to tube.

Dislike every other change.

Dude is averaging 64% hs rate with a vandel and his last game was above 70%hs rate

It’s honestly pretty sus

100T had them rated the same and most people considered yay the best in the world.

Cryo was considered one of the best players in NA, which makes him one of the best in the world.

FNS isn’t born in 2000 bro

Him and yay were the hottest free agents last year….

Very good chance 100T bounce back.

They feel like the baseline Americas team.

People still ride pancadas dick after a disastrous season (hE PlAyEd SeNtInAl) but forget that Cryo was in the conversation for possible best player in the world when last season started.

And everyone overrating G2. Th we are going to be like bleed, and m8… a miracle if they finish in the top 6

So a bad team just lost their best player?

Yikes

Trexx makes a huge difference for VIT. They are gunning for a top 3 finish in EMEA 🍻

What do you suggest they do to buff him then instead?

You can’t just take away the only thing they added to make him relevant because “he makes me think before I run into site”

I have loved yay since he was on Andbox, but if he doesn’t perform this year, then he his statement is probably true.

https://esportsadvocate.net/2023/08/valorant-champions-bundle-40m/

“Riot already disclosed a huge revenue boon for teams that participated in this year’s final event. The Valorant Champions 2023 bundle, which consists of in-game decorations for various items and effects, raised over $20 million in revenue share for those teams, earning them $1.25 million apiece.“

Now I don’t know what player contracts look like, but I find it hard to believe that they make 200k a year and take a huge cut from the bundle. Unless the orgs are actually that dumb….

I thought I heard somewhere that EG tried to cut their players salary this year with the promise of a larger share of the skin revenue but the players didn’t want the deal.

Omen is honestly the only smokes that’s fun to watch.

Viper makes shit lame and slow
Harbor just looks like a confusing mess on screen
Astra is slow and excels at hiding during postplant
Brim is 2nd to omen but not as flashy

Realistically if they had a premier duelist they would be scary.

Oddly enough EMEA doesn’t have very many world class duelists.

Imagine something or Aspas or demon1 on that team…

The bundle earned roughly 40 million

That’s 50% for the teams so 20 mill.

That’s roughly 1.5 million per team at champs.

They generated at least 2.5 million in revenue.

Crazy to think that’s not enough.

It really isn’t worth it to be in e sports if the best players in the world can’t make 6 figures.

It’s so crazy to see this list.

It’s basically

FNC
-Grand Canyon-
Rest

I wouldn’t even have a clue how the next 5 spots are going to go.

Unknown quantities
TL
VIT
KC

Turkish (this is our year)
(p.s it never is)
Fut
BBL

How did they even get here
M8

The DRX of EMEA
NAVI

Rest

People forget the bundle money

For some reason I forgot.

They would have to take major risks.

Since their brand is garbage anyway if they want to win they should do whatever it takes.

Jawg
Sinatraa
K1ng (kr)
Scream
Nivera

A t2 Brazilian team

Kyedae said he was puny once and everyone acted like she was some monster and a bigot 😂 😆

Yawn

DRX is still going to be a top 3 team

Yes

This thread proves they have died. Memes are pictures… not videos and the fact that no one knows that only proves they have died

Of Americas

He was the highest rated sentinel main at their last tournament, 11th highest rated player.

He had a higher rating than sayf and the sentinel of the team that won Yutjey (or however it’s spelled)

And he’s only going to get better.

Who?

Anyone who even mildly follows Valorant knows FNC is the most stacked team in the world.

It shouldn’t be surprising for Lev to fail to qualify for a masters.

The Americas are INSANELY stacked and riot thinks 2 - 3 slots is enough.

While there is a chance Lev qualify they have to do it over NRG, SEN, LOUD and whatever random team no one expects to be good but is.

I think Lev is good enough to make it, but I also don’t think anyone should be shocked if they end 3rd or 4th in Americas.

And was arguably the weakest player on the roster.

Maybe the rumors of Sinatraa are true.

He is the perfect replacement for c0m

https://www.vlr.gg/player/725/nzr/?timespan=all

Now look up C0m.

Both very good players, now think that C0m was on an amazing team and Lev was bellow average.

Nzr has always been a solid player. This isn’t the huge upgrade you’re feeble mind thinks it is.

C0m “might” be an upgrade but it’s not significant and seems like more of a side step then a substantial upgrade.

Best team NA on paper.

But they haven’t had much time to “gel”.

Only 2 teams from Americas at masters is CRIMINAL.

All true except sentinel.

They actually don’t have a true sentinel player, just flexible players that can “fill” the role.

Who?
