on paper fnatic was way better than NRG lmao
you are very delusional if you think Optic wouldn't adapt better to EMEA if it was their full time region
via "Optic should 100% be below all EMEA teams since they couldnt beat them." then 100T is above every EMEA team besides FNC because FNC is the only emea time to beat them in the vct circuit
edit: also they took a map off fpx at copenhagen so ur wrong on that lol
its 8am for me i aint slept yet lmao
morning zerphyr
""They fail when they face a top team." are you forgetting they beat FPX the first time at champs(a top team) "
yes correlation does not equal causation, its obviously a combination of multiple things. I am not saying it is a 1:1, i am saying it has an affect. If we did stats for every event champs 21 and onward, teams with previous international experience will be noticably better than teams without it
if you add masters
LOUD
Optic
FNC
EG
Gambit
FPX
SEN
Acend
edit: added acend ooops
you cannot exclude TGRD because you think it was a fluke lol, even at reykjavik they were up 10- 4 vs optic on map 3. If they had international experience they probably don't choke the 10-4 lead.
regardless,
and what is ur point on xset? they were BAD vs optic at copenhagen and leviatan was another team that got given direct playoffs placement and had no previous experience, but did better at their second international event (champions). Xset was the exact same way. did very bad or choked before they had international experience, after getting it they looked better
then there's zeta(0-2 at masters berlin, 5-3 and 3rd at reykjavik the following event
so,
xset (0-2 at M2C -> 3-2 and top 6 at champs)
Lev (1-2 at M2C -> 2-2 at champs)
ZETA (0-2 at M3B, top 3 at reykjavik)
100T (went 1-2 at champs, made top 8 at Lock\in)
Liquid (1-2 at M2R, top 4 at champs)
KRU(1-2 at M2R-> top 8 at M3B/top 4 at Champs)
X10 (1-2 at M2R-> top 8 at champs
Paper rex (0-2 at M3B -> top 4 at reykjavik)
EG(1-1 at Lock\in -> 2nd at MT)
EDG (0-1 at lock\in -> Top 6 at tokyo)
I know some of these have red herrings, so don't bring them up, its irrelevant.
Might i mention that FPX at copenhagen(which is really a cop out because they only didn't make it to reykjavik because of the war) are the ONLY team without international experience to make top 4 at an international event
lan and international are different things lol
mibr is 2 games, not 1 lol. and that was an offseason game it has no value
the guard? xset? hello?
im not talking about life, im talking about "never seen ____ played initiatior" which means u think playing initiator is necessary to be considered a flex
you don't need to play initiator to be a flex its just thats the traditional "flex" archetype because of double initiator.
someone with 35 duelist-30 smokes- 35 sentinel would be considered a flex
edit: note: this is not specifically for life, more a general take
just don't go to sleep until after the games
are u saying reduxx is faking his age or sean wants to coach again lol
no? it is unrealistic from the start because sean doesn't want to coach lol. 100t has nothing to do with that
edit: and reduxx is 16
look at how he played bind vs mibr. He always trys to overcook as if he is still on a T2 CS team and needs to out igl as if his team isn't full of great aimers(and literally aim diffs mibr)
Even if Runi was just an average igl that is way better than vanity’s igling
People said that before first strike too lol. Ur just the next generation of the Same SEN fans
This does not change my point at all lol
And he was up vs SEN 86% of the way in the only time Vs the current iteration of SEN when they had way less practice with their igl than sen did.
Also why tf u bringing tenz up he was the former best player ITW lol, forget tenz they don’t play 1:1 agents anyway
Harbor works with viper because his wall is much more flexible, viper’s is rigid. I don’t think 2 vipers would be optimal on lotus, sunset, ascent, split, and maybe bind
Mf then asuna has never beat SEN and SEN has never beat asuna in a non-seeding game because the only time 100T was good SEN was bad and vice versa (besides stage 3 2021 where they only played in grand finals which was a purely seeding game)
He’s an alternative wall controller, not an alternative senti-controller hybrid
No it’s not…

Yeah you pointed out the controller parts of their kits which I said harbor was an alternative to, but u seemingly left out the fact harbor has no senti utility. She needs an alternative SENTI-CONTROLLER HYBRID, not an alternative wall smoker
Also he’s won 2 of the 3 elimination game (first strike semi finals, LCQ 2022, and here at kickoff are the only 3 real elimination games)
He beat them twice in first strike and then In LCQ 2022
We’ll see how it works out, by the end of Shanghai SEN’s 6th month length of form will run out so they might bomb out 2nd stage
Is this an asuna thing vs sen specifically (which is wrong, asuna has beat sen 3 times) or do u just hate asuna lmao
this is not? what? you don't get to champs just by winning ur group lol
harbor is not a hybrid senti-controller. he was made as an alternative main solo controller on breeze and icbeox, not an alternative senti-controller hybrid
i'll launch play it so its in my recent activity real qucik
still, how many would actually get on t1 teams. even a 3-2 split minus fnatic would be 30 tier 1 players
harbor was supposed to be an alternative for solo controller comps on icebox and breeze, not a direct 1:1
how many would get "big offers" though, most of them are EMEA and there is a 1 import max rule.
"you do realize that a lot of CS people would rather move to seige than ever touch valorant right? thats how stubborn they are. ps, Americas would still be better" was the original unless it fragmented and loaded seperately
how would he not be? he's been to the most international events of any player(has only missed 1), has won champions and first strike, got podium spots 4 times and his lowest placement ever was 1 spot off the international in stage 3 2021. He reinvented the meta with viper harbor and potentially the phoenix comp (hasn't been long enough so we can't say for sure but i doubt it)
