cender is benched. sayf is supposed to igl

fuck you beat me to it

W article
I am worried about sayf as igl. this team either has the potential to win everything or implode like nrg

also gotta see if less turns out to be another pancada situation cuz of language barrier but wtv

uh boaster is an igl whos won two trophies. victor isnt even playing anymore😭

i cant tell if you're baiting but geng aren't shit. sure they lost meteor who is stupid hard to replace, but there is so much Korean talent out there that they will have no problem replacing him

? where did i say that. she took 5 mid players in 2023 and elevated them to the top. we also saw signs of her ability last year too, although not as high. what yay needs is a good team centered around him and a coach that will help him individually

yeah loud i realize was too low, but i just didn't know where to place them

do you really think drx is above t1? t1 looks so nice on paper and i dont like mako on igl(this isn't anything about his calling, i just feel like he isn't able to perform at his best if he igls)

i mean on paper, for sure, but it's the egos that worry me. putting aspas and d1 could definitely cause issues, but if they work out, they will be so fucking scary.

i was jsut doing it for fun. im also doing this so i can learn about the t2 players. where would you place ge?

oh those players

kk, texture, bang

no yeah i totally agree. my confidence in prx has fallen off quite a bit. they're still a great team, but putting them in number 2 is quite ambitious. idk who freeing and hyumin are, but t1 look fucking stacked as hell so putting drx at 2 is a bit of a stretch but i could see it

China I'm not gonna do cuz I genuinely don't know any of the teams besides EDG FPX and TEC.

yeah emea was hella rushed. in retrospect i should've switched kc and navi and had the tier break happen before them

the only name i recognize there is jamppi..sorry

100t, im biased cuz i love the team and v1 used to be my fav team and having zander on 100t is a dream come true(wish bang stayed though but it's okay cuz overlapping roles)
koi and navi yeah i probably overrated but this year is so hard to rate
geng kept their igl, cracked duelist, and cracked smokes player, along with their coaching staff. i have full confidence in geng finding a new meteor and lakia
prx def shoudlnt be at number 2. idk why. im not even that big of a fan of them

Let me preface this by saying that:

• I am basing this off of either confirmed moves and Rockets latest spreadsheet.
• I don't know much about t2 talent in other regions. I'm basing my rankings off the players I know and what I've seen of the teams so I'm sorry if I'm really under-ranking your teams.
• China I'm not gonna do cuz I genuinely don't know any of the teams besides EDG FPX and TEC.
• This is stupidly hard to rank some teams so I'll put a tier gap to show where I think the teams are
  Please give me your rankings in the comments below!

Americas

1. Sentinels
2. NRG
3. 100T

   --------------------
5. Lev(Demon1, Tex, kiNgg, c0m,+1-maybe melser)
6. EG(this is carzy ik, but if yay is able to work with potter, this team could potentially make playoffs.)

8. KRÜ
9. Loud(dgzin, v1nny, caunzin, tuyz, pancada-this could also be up there ngl but idk enough abt the team. putting them in 9th seems low tho)
10. C9
11. Furia(ngl this is also too low. sorry furia)
12. MIBR(idk if they're gonna be good cuz idk the players)

EMEA:

1. VIT(Derke, Less, Sayf, trexx, kicks-im ngl, i didnt know that sayf was igling. could be another ethan situation or it could be another shahzam situation)

5. Koi
6. KC
7. FUT
8. TL

   ---------(idk if rrq should be at the same level as the rest)
6. Talon
7. Zeta
8. DFM(big punt ik.)

10. SPG(im sorry, i haven't watched them enough)
11. Boom(same reason for spg)
12. GE(the only name i recognize is kr1stal😭)

guys i rushed this so fast for emea and pacific. im def gonna be wrong. im very sorry.

wow top 6? interesting

ok but of the 12 teams, where are zeta and dfm?

ok but tbf it was against mocking

where would you place dfm and zeta?

to be fair, ive only watched one map of dfm and half a map of zeta, but i feel like dfm especially is looking SO much better. do you guys think that they're still going to be at the bottom?

now that xeus is on the team?

no deadass..

https://x.com/RocketBullets/status/1847029298269716877 HE WAS RIGHT ALL ALONG. HE IS A PROHET. HE SAID REDUXX MIGHT JOIN SEN, AND HE DID. HE SAID BANG MIGHT JOIN SEN, AND HE DID. HE SAID ASPAS MIGHT JOIN BLEED, HE WOULD'VE IF IT WEREN'T FOR THEM GETTING KICKED OUT. ROCKET ALSO SAID HE MIGHT JOIN DRG. HE MIGHT FUCKING JOIN THEM

we need to apologize to rocket bullets

a couple of years ago, my friend from italy came to stay with me for the summer. we were listening to some song and he dropped the n word. i immeadietly was like "dude wtf you can't say that" and he was like "wait what why?" he didnt know it was racist and he said he said it all the time. he didn't say it to be racist, he just didn't know that the word was bad. also i feel like it's been two years. we should give the guy a second chance+he's been doing stuff to reform in that sense

for the nudes thing, i think that 16 and 14 is bad, but they were both minors at the time. you can argue that if you're 16, you're old enough to know not to ask for nudes from a 14yr old, but they were both minors. i swear the val community is so two faced. i thought that if you're both under 18, the only thing you can say is that it's weird, not pedophilia. also, it was a two year age gap, not a 5 year.

you can choose not to like the guy, but wanting to cancel him and call him a pedo is insane. just give the fucker a second chance and the second he does something bad, we can all jump on him

i mean sure his season was ass, but look at his teammates. no hate towards them but they weren't the best by any means

how

his bro constantly reminds me of that fact

he's not the best, but he's world class

no, just gone mad because his team sucks

mf said cender😭

nah bro. tenz is going to shit on everyone and they're going to win every tourney this year!

0/8

wait holy cook. idk either of these players but that was a good point

oh no ik that, but legija was talking about how yay would go on reddit after matches and read all the things being said about him which took a toll on him. im saying he's gotta stop reading the comments cuz reading them dioesn't do anything

with demon1 being signed, does this mean that aspas is gone or will demon1 move to full time smokes?

what he needs is potter. if yay gets signed to eg and doesn't listen to the fans, whether its positive or negative, he can return to what he used to be. he's too focused on what the fans think of him and needs a good coach and team to set him up

mada n4rrate

ch0t+who the fuck igls

yeah i had that

if yay has a good structure he can shine

https://www.vlr.gg/post/2321587/bjor-exposed #16 gotta be the funniest insult ever

gm or coach

eh that's not rly their fault since they pulled out of EVERYTHING. it would've been a fumble if the players didn't get picked up though

oh they did. they kept them all in contract jail, but the eg players themselves didn't want to play

c9 dropping yay due to money issues(could be argued but basically anything after optic was a fumble on c9 dsg and bleed)
sen signing pancada and not putting him on smokes
sen signing marved and putting him on igl
nrg not utilizing demon1 correctlly
nrg not signing a proper igl
loud not willing to increase pay for their champion winning roster(sacy and pancada could be excused cuz sen prob threw the bag at them but not keeping saadhak, less, or aspas is crazy)
bleed getting kicked out of partnership
geng not willing to increase the pay of their team
skuba not finding a team in 2024
sayf not on duelist.
edit: nrg not trying to get the optic players all together??
ge not using t3xture or monyet

I probably missed out on a ton

kinda weird esp cuz i assume the players are told that their comms are going to be live. i bet players say a lot worse we just dont hear it

so are they going english??

so are they going korean?? they should try to pick up ex geng players

is this real
