he also hasnt played in a pro setting since last year.
But he peaked #13 radiant

that knife fight LMAO

🐀

would be hilarious and optic would take it

Rawkus was good on Faze, just not a great coach

triple molly kill is diff

"proven" orgs arent allowed in T2/T3 tourneys.
So teams like SEN, Optic, Guard, 100T, etc can't participate in them because it'd be "unfair"

crashies just built diff

sentinels aren't even a top 8 or even top 10 in NA, wdym?

he hasnt played in pros or any tourneys since last year

if you think sentinels are winning today you're delusional, its not hate its just a fact.

Sick is easily the most consistent/flexible player on that roster, he needs a better team ngl

this was about tenz not sick, nobody is dissing sick for having a family emergency

facts

With how talented and top heavy EMEA is, ofc teams that are on the fringe like NAVI, BIG, FOKUS, SMB, etc. are gonna struggle as theyre in that tier 1.5 range. Wouldn't say they disband but their win will come eventually. Thing being theyre good enough to make that top 12, but not much higher.

Cloud 4k clutch sheeesh

mada reyna this ones gonna be interesting

They went back to their old roles/comps and looked way more comfortable.
Saya jett pops off per usual.
Their post plants looked 1000% times more cohesive and coordinated than weeks 1 and 2
Trent clutches.

I'd say they're back to the form that they're expected, TSM kept it close on Haven but Icebox was clearly Guard in their groove

atleast TSM have a win thus far, something sentiLULs wouldn't get

gg

they're back on their old roles and look way more comfortable on it than they did when they were trying to innovate, which right now alot of teams globally are doing that with the meta shifting (sorta, just with jett/chamber nerfs + fade introduction)

I wouldn't call XSET a clout team
NA's Valorant clout teams are easily: SEN, 100T, TSM, and FaZe

Guard being back on their old roles definitely makes them look better and more comfortable. They were definitely trying to innovate and it clearly wasnt working. Glad to see it

Guard going back to their old comps definitely make them all look alot more comfortable. Especially with Saya and Net

Yeah I was hoping that the Guard went back to their old roles and back to basics that made it work for them.
Its definitely showing already with Saya on Jett

Guard back on their old roles
Jett on Saya
Jonah on flex
its over for tsm

You can't even call any region T2 when the "T1" regions of NA and EU only had 1 team in the top 4. Global competition is alot tighter now.
PRX and ZETA weren't flukes.
Optic finally got over the line as they've always been good at LAN.
LOUD is the brazillian superteam

Would not be surprised to see an APAC team continue to put themselves in the top 4-8 again at Copenhagen

Its teases for the new map

NRG 2-0 theyre gonna be bootcamping so bootcamp diff

NRG are 1-4 against XSET since both teams entered Valorant

XSET are a really good team but well, NRG had to lose a map at some point, match was still fairly close till it was like 10-7

Underrated duelist, very versatile in his agent pool. He used to be NRG's IGL very early on. But I wouldn't call him a top 3 in NA, def in the convos for top 5 though.

gl

hate to break it to ya buddy but theres alot more complaining here than just about female casting

I agree, she kinda got bonked outta the meta but alot of teams still make her work so i dont think unless the pickrate in the pros suddenly vanish, which it hasnt. She won't get rebuffed

2-1 for the NRG XSET match either way, comes down to map pools ultimately, NRG been on the wild comps lately

2-1 either way, I can see XSET winning but NRG has been hot

PRX

Currently only travels via bodily fluids, wont be a massive outbreak

Its basically smallpox std form

Optic 1
C9/LG 2/3 give or take depending on how Curry meshes with the roster
As of today EG takes 4th spot
Lets be honest between faze and sentinels, one of them likely goes 0-5 in this group, i have EG beating Faze just because theyve looked like a better team across the board. That alone guarantees them 4th place barring any insane chokes from the top 3 teams in this group.

Faze vs Sen will likely be a 5th place decider

I feel like EG beats Faze rn as well
Either Sen or Faze are going 0-5 in groups ngl

Jingg > Tenz no cap

Well its current 11-10, so its close enough to where its POSSIBLE, exact % idk. I agree tho they arent taking this

Optic
XSET
C9
NRG
LG

Any other list is wrong.

correct, them going down 0-2 is gonna basically make it impossible for them between FaZe and EG, (tiebreaker meaning if EG and SEN both finish 2-3 then EG qualifies).
The only game in their group that they can win at that point IS Faze aka they could be looking at a 1-4.

correct

100T are a good team right now just still relatively new roster, they definitely tried to counter strat TSM and it backfired heavily, not to mention TSM has had their number in every other encounter they've had this year. No TSM isnt back, nor is 100T washed

dont expect it to change till they drop shaz

its still really early, but jeez sentinels just got stomped in the first 2 rounds
