Idk bro, I wanted for Darker to be on KRU as an initiator in the next year, and as it has been leaked before, he was part of the tryouts, after all if KRU or more specifically, Zonyk, didn't pick him as soon as he saw him play a few tryouts it's because he wasn't what he was looking for in the team, in my mind there were only 2 initiators that could do well in this Portuguese comms roster, Darker and mwzera. That's why I'm not surprised that they picked mwzera, just surprised that they picked him over Darker.

I think we are forgetting that heat was bad as an initiator but his aim was insane, that's the reason why as soon as he changed to sentinel, he started doing really good even tho he had no experience in that role

If u get mwzera against seven, mwzera wins 10 out of 10 times

It can't be about the new Valorant Roster so idc, probably the CS2 roster that recently made changes or new staff members.

Might sound right for someone who doesn't watch Americas or started watching VCT this year lol, keznits better than 50% of vct players

Well KRU last year won against EG 2-0 and everyone was believing in them and then couldn't win a single series in playoffs so maybe this is the moment lol

I think you are not understanding my purpose of this lol, i don't care about that, i just find it funny to see Brazilians playing as the victim again about something that your caster started by tweeting that.

Did you understand what I wrote? I'd recommend you to read a bit of the thread before answering with this.
Let's suppose he had only positive thoughts for tweeting that, why can't he explain that the tweet didn't have a bad purpose? Why is he now answering every single hate comment who's originally made because he tweeted it? And why he's answering with "aspas will beat KRU", "aspas never lost against KRU", "just wait for aspas", "KRU are so racist"? That doesn't sound like someone who is friendly with KRU and his fans lol.

I think koromast explained it better in this thread, but the point is that it's always Brazilian people(known people in the community, not taking in count randoms or fans) that always start by saying some dumb shit either to gain interactions in their social media or just to get KRU fans mad. I don't want to sound as a hater of them but, it kinda looks like this is the only thing to talk or the only way they can find to keep the community active as 3 of their teams are already eliminated. And as for what you said about the interviews with adverso, interviewing people it's his job, he has to do it good or if not he gets fired/replaced yk? I don't think we should count interviews as how they truly think about a team, community or someone in particular.

I think you misunderstood the tweet, imma explain it to you.
First of all, LOUD and 2G were already eliminated since KRU lost against EG.
He starts by saying "ATTENTION GUYS" as if something important was happening for the br community.
And then he continues by saying, "KRU COULD END 4TH TODAY, BUT ONLY IF EG WINS AGAINST LOUD", do you really think that tweeting this has a positive outcome?

Im not a supporter of this racism shit, but couldn't all this trouble be avoided if only that Brazilian announcer didn't start with tweeting that? That same announcer who is now hating KRU tweet by tweet was thanking KRU last year and interviewing Heat as happy as he could be lol.

Well there's half of the KRU fans trying to stop the racism towards Brazilians and the other half just being as racist and toxic as they can be, can't put them all in the same bag.

It wasnt a hand injury lol, he had an illness from the stomach that he wasn't able to figure out why it was causing him a lot of pain and made him go to a lot of hospitals and shit that resulted on not being able to practice with the team and also having to play on stage with pain. Apparently he's doing well now and I've been watching a bit of his streams recently, he's playing well too.

Yeah it's supposed to be like that, only once the guy gets announced in a new team it's when he's able to change his name with the new team's tag

As a KRU fan i think they are likely to qualify for Toronto depending on how well they can adapt to the new meta(Yoru + Tejo comps) which I'm pretty confident about. That plus the fact of a healthy and bald Keznit, maybe the best version of KRU or the worst we've seen yet, we'll see.

Honestly hes just adapting to his new stuff rn, if u go watch his highlights from september/october/november from 2024(u can find them in his youtube channel) when he had already switched from using only his wrist to now use his arm and a lil bit of movement from his wrist, he was playing really good and even got to top 20 in NA really fast if im not mistaken. But right now from what he has said in recent streams, hes just not as comfortable as he used to feel playing, not because of his gameplay specifically but because of things like mousepad positioning, keyboard positioning, etc. He even choosed to use a new mouse atm because of this so we'll see.

First shyy in his villain era, and now also Keznit? Americas isn't ready for this KRU.

Mazino has way more confidence and a better use of utility imo, you just have to compare that haven against LOUD or NRG with the matches that mta played as initiator in 2024. But mta has insane AIM that's why I think he was just not ready for VCT, because learning his role in that short period of time that they gave him and getting it ready to Champions level is impossible.

I don't feel MTA was ready for VCT tbh, being in KRU's affiliated team as initiator is probably the best for him rn, and Dante will for sure be in KRU's roster next year(unless KRU has a bad performance in stage 1), but I can see a world were they(as an affiliated team, not an academy) win ascension this year and participate next to KRU in the next year of VCT, seeing how Tier 2 teams in NA and BR are playing I see this as a very likely option.

Great post, hopefully this year this whole situation ends because I'm tired of seeing X full of shit of both communities(LATAM and BR) just fighting for no reason as soon as KRU loses or wins against any BR team, people just keep fighting over and over using the same memes and saying the same shit either to defend themselves or attack the other community.

He can, let's remember how he did against NRG in the first map(Abyss, -10), and then how he did the last map(Bind, +17). That's why right now it seems like KRU is better as a team compared to MIBR. Each one of them(without counting on Adverso) did MVP at least one map in this whole kick-off, and in NRG's match the player with the most kills in the team(Melser) its only 3 kills above from the player with less kills in the team(Mazino).

It's not about KRU, it's about NA fans just underrating SA teams every season and then saying things like "Sorry X team, i wasn't familiar with your gameplay" or some other quotes i've seen many times in this forum lol. Seems like no matter how many tourneys results, stage results, scrims results, etc. You all will still believe that teams like EG are favourites against teams like LOUD even tho they had a better run in this kick-off and even won against them 2-0. With that being said, i think only 2G is shit from all the SA teams.

You are ignoring that Kru were 5-0 last year in groups stage

KRU also won against them with spike in off-season 2-0 didnt they? lol

Revisa su ig, fue un dolor abdominal, por suerte no fue algo en el brazo o muñeca, esperemos que no sea nada grave y se recupere pronto

I dont think it's a wrist injury, from what i've heard in the few streams he has done lately its probably more related to fever or stomach illness, either way it sucks to be sick while needing to play not only 1 but 4 elimination matches in 2 weeks, and 2 of them being a day after the other.

I believe keznit said that someday he'd like to be in good terms with dgzin, so its up to dgzin by now

If 2G with spikezin and 10 ping wasn't able to beat KRU(who were playing at 50 ping) and got 2-0'd I cant find your 50% chances seriously

KRU ended like 20-4 against okeanos team I think, saw it y'day in shahzam's stream

I have a feeling that KRU either might win something this year(Americas kick-off/season or any Masters) but won't be able to qualify to champs or they qualify for champs but no trophy just like other years, if both do happen then it'd be an unbeatable year for KRU

Cortezia might be a headshot demon but yday against FURIA when the other guy was crouching, doing AD or when he missed the first shot he used to die, he's also a lurker so if half of his kills are lurking, already 50% of his kills were an instant headshot, so its not like he's god. Boostio is totally different, he doesnt give a fuck about KD he only wants to win the match and do the right calls while standing next to his team. Both are really different players it just depends if you want an IGL or a good sentinel.

Comms issue bro, it wasn't the best decision ever but it made sense, sometimes they had to repeat the calls for more than 1 time because he didn't understand at that time, you could also watch the comms and see that sometimes he doesn't trade his teammate or plays a 2v1 swinging alone because of the comms.

Yeah and you have been hating KRU for years as a common LEV fan, how hard is it to admit that FURIA is playing well lol, even tho it's an off season, they might have lost 2 maps to T2 teams but one of them was an Ascent that doesn't matter cuz it's getting out of the map pool for the 2025 VCT Season. I really hope that FURIA or any BR team has a good Kick-off just because of how much everyone underrates them.

Adverso has been an IGL for almost 2 years and recently ended 3rd in Ascension so yeah he's ready, Melser is staying and he was the one that carried that game against DRX with 2.45 rating as Omen while igling so he's good too

We gonna have another banger match between lev and kru academies, both teams looks so good

That was TBK from Brazil Tier 2

That'd mean that Melser had to do the IGL role again, and I can't remember how many times he did say this year that he hates to be the IGL, but prob around 40-50 times

NRG being on B while KRU's old logo being in last 4 in D is crazy

The thing with VALORANT is that the game updates are kinda repetitive over the months, its either a new agent or a new map or a new bundle of skins, i think they tried "new" stuff bringing a new shield but its kinda trash. The Outlaw on the other side imo is a big update for the game, that gun gets picked up every game for at least 4 rounds and sometimes its preferred to use it instead of the Operator. But there's no chance that they keep adding new guns every year so if the game stays in this way for the upcoming years it'll probably have the same future as Fortnite does(which isn't bad but it'll stop them from being head to head with CS).

Si nunca fue el problema ese, el problema es que los fans de LEV estan mas pendientes en pelearse con fans de KRU que disfrutar de sus logros, tu no ves a fans de KRU recordando todo el tiempo a los fans de LEV como les quitaron la clasificacion a champs. Ahora que Mazino se fue a KRU los fans de LEV estan mas preocupados en decir que KRU recicla jugadores, en ves de preguntarse como van las pracs, que torneos van a jugar o algo de ese estilo.

He's good but in 2023 he had a good team to get to masters or champs and he didn't, instead he got diffed that same year by teams like NRG(who got eliminated in champs by BLG) or KRU(who didn't win a single map in champs), he's obviously good but posting ranked highlights doesn't make him instantly top 5 of all time Americas duelists, not even top 8 imo

Putting Melser as the worst controller after how he performed in the year is crazy, when he was fragging KRU was unable to lose the map lol

If she wants to have a chance to get to a VCT team in the future that's the path she needs to follow but if she cares more about money(which is totally ok and understandable) she should just stay in GC and farm all the teams there

This happens every year, people think SR squad can beat any T2 team and get to VCT easily, and then they get 2-0'd by some random T2 team in qualifiers for VCL.
Just be happy because SR won GCC, and wish the best for Flor because she can get to a good Tier 2 team imo.

Dont get mad bro, i just realized after seeing this thread that i've been seeing u in every other thread in this forum for the past week and found it funny lol

Brother you talk a lot

There's some threads telling how good this KRU could be, literally there's 2 types of people in VLR typing in KRU's threads, the ones that doesn't know shit about the players and just like to trash talk and the ones that actually know how good this team could be, haven't seen a stronger KRU roster than this one

Yeah that record you mentioned has no value as they ended up being 4th best of Americas that year lol, I ain't saying that FURIA and MIBR are not able to win against KRU the next year but saying something like "FURIA and MIBR are much better than KRU", when they didn't even get to touch playoffs this year and KRU won against them the 2 times they faced each other + you havent even seen some of your players play in tier 1, it's kinda crazy. Remembers me the Havoc glaze and then the poor guy ended up 2 20 in a map and not being able to have a good map till stage 2

Because even tho KRU has a winning record against MIBR and FURIA with KRU having worse rosters those years you are too confident that those 2 are for sure better than KRU, so if you are too confident of that its better to say that brazil is winning it all this year just to glaze them a little more

Bases on your opinion brazil should win everything this year, good luck
