nitr0 retires from CS for the 20th time

Low skill: sign multi-year contracts to play it safe and make the most out of your esports career

Mid skill: sign 1 year contracts because everyone's gonna want you and you can jump ship easily in order to choose winning rosters which will only pad out your resume for higher salaries

High skill: sign multi-year contracts because you're so good that teams will pay your buyout anyways

especially since theres like 5 people that actually bought it lol

Bleed bundle accounts might be worth something in the future

Does it stay in the game or does it get removed from player's inventories?

I think "common" and "sense" are the words you're looking for

2023 had potential, but 2024 was never gonna win anything--only delusional fans thought that

Inflexible, like every single duelist NAVI has signed up to this point

I think if you take into account that bang can play all smoke agents while TenZ was really only comfortable on Omen then Bang is still slightly better

he's nice with it, but he isn't a top smokes player in the region.

Tbf Saadhak and Flyuh makes sense because they're IGLs and EMEA has really bad midrounders

But they have incredible talent in every other role

Fr they're acting like SEN just signed v1c

Controversial take but bang's always been a better smokes player than TenZ.

TenZ just has a flashier playstyle that ends up feeding the community with insane clips every now and then

Meanwhile Bang is a workhorse who consistently gets 2ks and 3ks

The only aspect in which TenZ is better is mental

Perkele...

Agua de jamaica

Fart

But yes, with this roster NRG isn't going to lose next year

Victor and Crashies, once they're finished with their current lovers spat, will choose to retire from competing and move in together into a nice, beachside condo in Miami, where they will finally have their wedding in private--living out the rest of their days in bittersweet bliss by each others' side, and reminiscing at their glory days atop yay's back

because rocket put it on the sheet

Talk about the blind leading the blind

-Keznit already plays jett/raze/neon and is the best duelist in LATAM

-Nobody in LATAM wants keznit to be replaced

-Double duelist hasn't been meta for 2 years (excluding yoru comps, an agent that neither of them play)

-most importantly, dantedeu5 isn't even old enough to play in VCT

This is the first time I've heard of this "rumor", so I'm confident this guy is just inserting his own personal theories into spreadsheet form

This guy has Dantedeu5 as rumored for KRU, which is the biggest giveaway that he doesnt have sources or knows ball

just a fan putting his theories in spreadsheet form, so not credible

YELLOWSUPERCAR13

Lol. 90% of T2 is full of pre-2023 T1 players

Whether they've been in franchising for the past one or a million years does nothing to change the point that T2 players aren't some inherently worse pool to pick from like the guy I replied to thinks they are

I like to experiment aiming with different main muscles which ultimately helps with mouse control

only fun if practicing new agents

Like george geddes but 10000x more professional and not creepy

KOI

Sheydos, grubinho, and Flyuh as IGL is a goated core to build around

no worries lol.

Well basically in my opinion, the current meta rewards:
-aggressive Neon players that can carry lobbies with mechanics and movement
-proficient raze players with top tier movement on bind and split.
-S tier awpers only on Ascent and Icebox

If we look at the map pool:

Sunset: Raze/Neon/Yoru
Split: Raze
Bind: Raze
Abyss: Jett/Yoru
Haven: Jett/Neon/Yoru
Ascent: Jett
Icebox: Jett/No Duelist

If we're to base Cryo purely off the fact that Jett can be played in 4 of the 7 maps in the pool (ignoring that Neon is arguably better in some of them), if he's a step down on any map where Asuna has to fill Raze in his stead then the team's average quality goes down on those maps--especially since we both agree Asuna isn't realistically going to hard-diff his competition on that role either.

To put it another way, what I'm saying is that on 3/7 maps in the pool, the duelist slot that Asuna fills is downgraded and the flex spot that cryo then has to fill is also downgraded. This will at best cost 100T the advantage in map vetoes against most teams and at worst nerf them severely on at least 1 (potentially 2) maps of any Bo3 they play next year.

how do you rank Cryo and Asuna in all of americas rn

I hate to say so but yeah. tbh Idk how to rank them since we barely have any idea what their team is gonna look like

jonahp trent and valyn famous t1 players

for the wrong reasons

I don't trust Cryo in this meta

1. NRG
2. G2
3. SEN
4. C9
5. 100T
6. EG

#XDGWIN!!!!

Vyze doesn't specifically counter neon, she counters fast site executes

Maybe Cypher Vyze could work though

don't forget master Saadhak

There's like 2 maps where raze is definitively better: split and bind--and one of them isn't even in the map pool

On every other map you can play neon or jett and make it work

bonkarrs

Typical EMEA, first they import Brazillians in football--now in Valorant?

looks like Brazil is just the best region in the world

remove demon1 and honestly a good team

buen intento muchachos

fucking lucy is always a one map merchant I swear

#XDFIGHTING!!! YOU CAN DO IT!!!
