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

Wouldnt say Guild is weak, but imo either them or Liquid for slot 3

thats just disrespectful to m3c ngl

KEKW

ngl would be cool to see him on valorant NaVi (god knows he could definitely make that team improve imo)

thats pretty much true
see my post at #4 where I literally said the same thing, but still doesn't change the fact that female teams in terms of skill level have yet to even get beyond a top 32 in any region.

"is women being worse than men currently the reason the seperate leagues exist? no"

Sounds like you want them to get rid of the GC league and women compete in VCT and tier 2 tourneys that they already are still able to do.

whats funny is last I checked the "crazy liberals" here don't get girls

Regardless we're all on an esports forum nobody here gets bitches.

I just know academy teams can't play in qualifiers if the orgs main team is already playing in the same qualifiers.

So whats your proposed fix? get rid of the game changers league?

Then any female team signed to an org that already fields a VCT male roster gets fucked over just like academy teams. Theres no rules against co-gender rosters. Any org can still technically pick up a female pro to their roster and I doubt anyone would care, it just hasn't happened yet.

bad bait

actually have evidence to back up the claim and you hit em with the "do better" 💀x7

he kind of isn't wrong, unless its C9W or G2G. Most female teams typically don't even do well in qualifiers against T3/T4 FA teams. Every female team that competed in NA's 128 open quals, only 1 even made it to top 32 (out of like 5-6 female teams)

double duelist KEKW

Because most of them are female teams belonging to orgs that already have a tier 1 VCT male roster and Riot doesn't allow multi-team orgs to compete in VCT with their academy/female teams. So thus those female teams have to compete somewhere (Game Changers)

Co teams are definitely possible theres no rules against it. But they have a seperate league just for the sake of it I think. Although some female teams do get to compete in VCT qualifiers if their main male org counterpart isn't going through those same quals (why we saw C9W in the 128 team quals because C9B already qualified)

Bdog, Heat, Cryo, F0rsaken, Nivera

watching XSET vs TSM because its gonna be a better match, VCT > mickey mouse.

Either way I sense the TSM org as a whole taking multiple Ls today

NAVI have to beat Guild to qualify I'm pretty sure. But if Navi lose and BIG beats BBL then BIG would qualify
