You're getting it twisted, Giants is better than Americas LCQ winner which means EMEA tier 2 is better than everyone in Americas but the top 3

dimaxx can IGL too so I imagine he helps

purpo wtf

Actually yes

Tbf no one talking about the 13-3 13-4 to DRX which is equally impressive than C9 taking maps

KPI played really well today

Nice timing xD
I imagine it is because it wasn't final yet

Hopefully they shine as a team and they will make it next year. Insider is cracked too

what am I watching whole team is crisp af

10-0 vs 0-5 xD

You realize playing 2 bo1 makes flukes just as likely as a single bo3 right?

And yes it is bo3 single elim

Tbf TH did get more rounds against Fut than 100T, didn't they

So is Unfake

Bring him in place of shadow then

Too bad m80 does lose to the guard

After watching yetujey play in the Turkish league all season you mean

try outs, but that didn't mean anything

Yk you're fucked when Russ is your second duelist

Well I don’t think that’s why. Istanbul is not even the capital city. I think it’s more up to each person but geographically is both

Bro’s criteria to pick the IGL is his KD

What other pick ups, quote so I see

I don’t think there was ever a report about Kadaavra joining VCT, no. Roster looks good

I don't, but if the last time he was in tier 1 had a certain level, the chances of him being above that level are low. Meanwhile with a player like kamo, you do not know where his floor is, he could be worse, but you don't know where his celling is either, everything is new, and that's what a lower team needs to look for.

Kamo could either be a bust or a world class player, Shadow will most likely be what he was last time a regular tier 1 player. If you don't agree then fine, but idk how else to explain it

You did not understand anything I said, read the last sentence again

I'm saying someone who has been trying to improve for years like Shadow is less likely to achieve anything new than someone who's just getting there. Everyone has a celling and the longer you try to push for it the most likely it is that you already hit it

Woot is the most exciting player imo. But Elite and yetujey are cracked and so is Riens

Winners vs winners, losers vs losers, Zeta won and so did Fnc

Scarz roster last year was insane

If anyone doesn’t watch Turkish tier 2 and was wondering where the hype of the new kids coming up was coming from. Start getting used

They were a Champions playoff team and they just upgraded 2 of their weaker links

yes that's a better expression of what I meant

I said that this being the first ever game IGLing, as a team, an off season tournament, agent bans and bo5 it was about to be a shitshow

Again my point is, they do need time, quite a few actually, just not as much as TH should need

Well idk where you have read I said they need time, but yes they need time. How does that make sense? Well, because TH needs even more time.
A team with 4 players full of tier 1 experience should be better short term than a team of 4 rookies, as simple as that

I think short term KOI should be better, but atp idk

Shadow is a fine veteran, top tier 2, low tier 1. Problem? Barely any room for improvement, so you're bound to that, high tier 2 low tier 1

rhyme retired tf is Giants supposed to do

1 Musashi is not a duelist
2 Kamo is a much better pick up than Alive and it's not even close, you'll see that
3 Fair opinion but then you're not mad at the pick ups you're mad at who stayed

Who's a bad pick up? Shadow? Yes, Unfake? No, Kamo? Hell no

You expect the owner to say the players who he just picked up are worse? Keznit has never played in English, and importing a player takes months. A little bit of reading between lines my friend

I'm willing to give starxo a chance, he ended the season really well and tbf there are not many IGL's, taking a flyer on a rookie to IGL is not something I would have preferred. That being said they have Unfake who is exactly that, so if things don't go well he'll come in

Is Shadow who I do not believe in, I don't think he was the move, but we'll see how it turns out

I'm very glad they chose him

#21

I'll save you the thinking, it's awful and pointless, including the bo5s, but it is what it is, off season Ig

well I'm ngl I haven't paid much attention either so someone correct me if I'm wrong. Highest seed bans 1 agent, other one bans another one. None of the 2 can play neither of the banned agents. I believe different agents are banned for each map, Pheonix and Viper for Ascent. I think some teams just ban a random agent so it doesn't affect themselves

So is trent, point is, missing out on XSet isn't too big of a loss now that they made it in. I much rather have Guard core than XSet core

Off season bo5, agent bans, new team, first time IGLing, about to be interesting xD

Either that or they would have fallen off just like they have. Plus cryo and zekken are both full duelists now, and I don't see how having Cryo is better than having leaf either

Half of the players in that roster are not tier 1 anymore, wouldn’t have lasted long

Def not in valorant fanbase

Bring the league to Spain easy fix xD
