never let them know your next move

102

Personally (not in order) these are probably my best global initiators, but is Crashies the best of them it'd probably depend on who you ask because everyone has some sort of bias.

Crashies
Sacy
Enzo
Shao
Trent
Redgar
Stax
Crow
Derrek

I don't think theyve announced the format of it yet. Just the number of teams

drop this roster, sign lenny time, ez w

I'd say he's in the conversation. But theres alot of other really good pure initiator players globally.

I mean this isnt a serious prediction but I'll gladly take you up on that if Its somehow right

nah bro trust me they win it all I've seen the script !!!!!!!

EDward Gaming, the current #1 team in China
https://www.vlr.gg/team/1120/edward-gaming

drop the roster and sign lenny time

wasnt agent bans rumored to be implemented at some point?

nah they win copenhagen with double duelist yoru and phoenix

bad bait = edgy??

facts

nah bro this will 100% happen trust me

who we got winning?

Copenhagen: KRU - LATAM
Runner up: PRX
Champions: EDG - China
Runner up: Loud - BR

sentinel complacency + fnatic going through several changes to stay competitive is definitely the summary. Like 2021 SEN was good and arguably better than 2021 FNC. But now FNC would 13-0 SEN

it now is

for C9? no
for SEN, they lose they're likely out of LCQ unless FaZe/Ghost bomb out of playoffs

ik cats do but wouldn't be surprised if dogs did too

dogs eat rats do they not?

Biased maybe
Annoying, not really
panpoc still best casting duo

You got baited by kristof zamn

Probably was champions last year tbh

I see now problem with this top 5, its the only right answer.

0/8

ghost pulled a stage 1 guard

oh fr? on god? just like that?

mans had a triple double every game

First Eeiu today, then Bang doing the same thing

Jamalesh "Hazed" Cobbanath is an Indian professional VALORANT player for NRG who joined in October to step into the IGL role. He is well known for his fragging and flawless calling as well as his beard, which he hasn't shaved since converting to Hinduism

Love both these teams, great game.

actually insane flick

Last Chance Qualifiers (bonus slot for champions that every region gets)

Its in August after Copenhagen.
NRG are currently playing to get INTO that guaranteed, if they lost this series they'd be done for the year.

Guard however are still #2 in NA Circuit Points (qualify for champions but it'll change based on the 2 teams that go to Copenhagen) and are basically guaranteed to play in LCQ, less on the line for them than NRG

If they don't win LCQ to go to champs then I'd say they fell off
Because regardless of this they're a lock for LCQ (currently qualified for champions so they might not even HAVE to go through LCQ depending on what two teams go to Copenhagen)

Nah your point was correct. As an NRG diehard since 2020 yeah, S0m is a good player, great streamer, but in terms of the "Superstar duelists" on each team, he's too inconsistent. But I wouldn't drop him for anyone unless they can come in and fill his role better

EE EE EYE YOU is insane

actually insane

Yeah sadly he hasn't been the kind of pop off superstar that every other team has.

its Valyns comfort pick over Brim and Omen somehow. Personally I've liked his Omen over his Astra. But splits her only real viable map

#NRGWIN hopium

unless Tex or S0m find their stride and they have some sort of pop off consistently compared to what every other team has, one of them could be dropped for someone who could. Even though I think NRG have great chemistry its just that they haven't been able to get very far.

g2 players talkin about flukes

yeah NRG has to win this to make LCQ

valyn is a really good IGL/smoke player, top 5-8 in both respectively imo

NRG is honestly one of those teams that with the current roster feel like they've hit a ceiling, they're good enough to make VCT and or LCQ in that like top 8-12 team range but isn't good enough to make it over the hump to make an international event in a region thats as competitive as NA. Every region has those kind of teams tbh.

S0m is a good player but yeah he isn't a superstar duelist like what every other team has.

And this is coming from an NRG diehard.

I feel that. But NRG need this for LCQ otherwise their year is over. Guard are a lock for LCQ regardless
