nah streamer texture would make millions
buzz been falling off his peak for like 2 years now. its lwky time to retire or prove himself again w smaller teams
watch this team miss out on champs on the very last game like they used to do
It is true that G2 qualified after changing their style to cater to the meta. Still they had ample time to practice their new style before santiago.
G2 also had players that are good on meta agents, which allowed them to go on a run during this event.
Just because there aren’t as much sentis getting played doesn’t mean that they are just swept under the rug. Even meta abusers like prx and ns still use them on some of their maps. Also bbl and nrg is proof that they are still viable assets in this meta. There is a reason why teams that don’t play senti at all didn’t qualify or have a deep run in santiago. There is still more variety in this meta than others maybe except for paris and 2023.
I do agree with the champs meta take but that meta was a direct cause of a drastically different patch being used for the event than the patch used for regionals.
It caused teams to scrap old stratbooks and allowed lower seeded and better coached teams to strive, mainly (mibr, drx, nrg). It also caused teams to have different meta reads which resulted in a wider variety of agents being played.
I do think that doing this in every event can cause a lot of upsets which can feel unfair for teams as they basically all start at the same playing field and seeding basically means nothing for them. It can also cause the level of play to dip as teams have no vods on the patch.
NRG losing to the two biggest meta abusers doesn’t disprove the fact that they also beat other teams that played the double duelist. They also stopped prx as well. Also sentinels had pretty good usage on maps like abyss and corrode which shows that they are not completely useless in the meta. The initiator nerfs was also caused by the outrage that some people had about util dumps, which now seems to be missed by many. But i mean it literally is how metas work, can’t really please everyone but this meta is really not as bad as people make it seem.
Thats the thing with every meta. Tejo got stale after a month, chamber got nerfed to the ground after 2022 and the same things happened to astra, viper, jett and now yoru as well. Patches defines metas and keeps the players in the game. Ik it can be frustrating but the teams have figured out this meta and the best teams at abusing it has made the finals.
Personally i am biased towards aggressive metas so take my shit with a grain of salt but finding this meta boring and saying that teams are ignoring strategies is just literally proven wrong but the fact that nrg made it to the top 3.
People have to understand that Valorant is not a moba game,it is a tactical shooter and its core aspect is shooting. People complaining about NS and PRX saying that their playstyle is just "aim-diffing" their opponents has to be ragebaiting, both these teams have shown tactical depth and layers in their chaos. NS has abused the meta (yoru/double duelist), but so has other teams except for NRG. NRG also showed that playing off meta is still viable and placed really well during this masters, playing good anti and having probably the best gameplans after timeouts. This meta is bound to die after the yoru nerf, but it is genuinely more enjoyable than the stall/postplant metas with tejo and the old astra. I could understand the frustration if you just started watching valorant last year but this is just how fps games work, shooting to kill your opponents is the main thing these pro players are thinking about. Utility and set plays are important, but if you can't shoot you are more likely to lose the round anyway. Good news for the haters of this meta tho is that yoru is dead and maybe double initiator can come back, lwky hoping for a neon double duelist meta for london tho.
tbf, champs meta was really undefined. Teams was figuring out what to do after riot decided to release a patch right before paris so there wasn't really a true meta and teams were just playing the style that works best for them.
Now that TH is out of the tournament, it is impossible for the teams that beat them to both place 1st and 3rd
is mibr guaranteed top 3 as well cus they beat heretics?
Feels like EMEA is getting lowballed and Americas+China glaze kinda weird how nrg is 5th and g2 is 1st it should only really be g2 top 5 and they are not 1st
honestly fair point, put him 2nd as I still feel that he is the best initiator itw rn although he did have a rough performance in the playoffs
I had 3 blg players on my shortlist whyz would be 21-23 for me mostly bcs I'm just higher on nephh and rushia
Imo going into champs:
1.something
2.trent
3.nats
4.forsaken
5.kajaak
6.Keiko
7.rushia
8.jemkin
9.Vookashu
10.Brawk
11.jinggg
12.jonahp
13.happywei
14.alfa
15.Valyn
16.zekken
17.neph
18.narrate
19.meteor
20.riens
DRG + AG/TYLOO final is best outcome for china imo. EDG looks like they are just gonna feed if they keep nobody on yoru. EDG better perform tomorrow or just crumble because rn they look so bad
After NS beat GENG, Team Secret making to playoffs is no longer a pipedream. All they need to do is beat RRQ, and that's all they need to do. They will start in the lower bracket of the playoffs and they will fry whoever they face. They will make it to the finals of pacific and make it to champs ultimately winning it all. I know that I sound mentally ill right now but I know that my TEAM SECRET will not let me down this time. This year has been rough for them but the ending will be different this time. I'm on the team secret wheelchair and if you believe you can hop on as well.
Hop on the TS wheelchair before it's too late. THE TS LOWER BRACKET + CHAMPS RUN WILL BE GENERATIONAL
Get on the TS wheelchair before its too late
TS is rotting my mind with the gameplay this last two weeks. So let me have this one please
Pulsar sponsored teams (T1, PRX) have won the last two masters. Now it is Team Secret's turn to do the winning. It won't be easy but it can start with them beating RRQ next week and Nongshim locking in and beating GENG. I know they are 1-3 right now but this will be a similar run to PRX last split. They will lock in and they will make playoffs and have a crazy lower bracket run making it to the final. I don't fully believe in this right now but I think winning against RRQ and qualifying will wake this team up and fix everything that is wrong with them. They will learn how to play again and their problems will be fixed by winning.
The prophecy is coming true. Heretics lost to the winner and the 3rd place team. All that needs to happen is for PRX to win against sen and for one of wolves or PRX to win the event.
