Tex is insane and looks like a extremely good option to round out how FNS is gonna be calling plays and what Chet is gonna be preping with FNS. idk why they drop him. what a blunder

I thought BCJ was XSET IGL

TenZ is probably not retiring whereas I think Shaz has mentioned retiring after Sentinels before and is likely deciding in collaboration with SEN staff whether to continue on the main roster and renew, or retire/be 6th man. Shaz wouldn't likely F/A himself to get on another roster cuz Sentinels is basically his personally made dream team

depends on what you think hes inconsistent at ig. he almost always gets his team onto site and gets 1 before he dies, which is exactly his job and hes great at it. hes a demon at taking space, and his teammates roles and playstyles revolve around that space he takes and endlessly pressuring their opponents with it. by the way most optic rounds go Id say hes pretty consistent in hitting that goal, thus they win lots.

stop downplaying these players. The only player as good as them in NA is Zekken, and the only comparable players internationally are maybe Sacy vs Crashies and kiNgg vs Victor. stop overlooking this power duo. no, trent is not better. neither is Asuna or whoever people compare Victor to. these two as a package deal are probably the best offer the american league is ever gonna see for the next few years. give them their flowers

EDIT: also just wanted to add on that Vic is also def the most important pioneer in val history as of now

im not a gym guy or a vegetarian but I am an athlete and as a swimmer getting in calories so you could function was big. you should try peanut butter, loads of cals and loads of protein. peanut butter was key to keeping me functional during my swim season

Love: SicK, Zekken, Dapr, Crashies and Vic, and Shroudy Rowdy if you count him lmfao

Hate: Wardell, Scream, all of FPX

Tex is better than all of A

I agree. I love his fade, I like Shaz on sova more personally cuz it feels to me like he has more agency in their picks and executes when he plays Sova; but putting Dapr in a Crashies sorta roll wouldnt be awful for him.

the Dapr slander here is crazy. what are yall on, hes still one of the best players in NA, SicK was and will be too after some catch-up. I really do hope SicK comes back and we get that SicK Shaz Dapr core back, but idk how I feel about SicK on smokes, cuz I'd ideally want TenZ and Zellsis too and I think Zellsis smokes is a waste. I wouldnt be against a Dapr smokes change cuz hes a tier 1 anchor, but idrk how that would play out, we would have to see.

If SicK dosnt come back, this is a whole different convo and honestly I wouldnt mind if Shroud stayed just cuz I really love him and wanna see him play more, and I do think Shroud is plenty capable of keeping up enough to compete at tier 1. But I dont think he will, so a skuba supamen pickup would probably work out the best if no SicK

the idea is probably derived from that they looked at league's import problem, specifically in NA, and tried stopping it before it happened. Issue is that NA is the best region in VAL, and BR just won champs, and now both North America and South America are probably just gonna be stunted by this. I really think NA and SA should have just been separate, and have like 6 or 7 teams each or sum. Its not fair on South American players or orgs to make them basically move to LA to play T1 VAL, NA has too much talent to cut into 5 teams, its all messy

its rockier than I'd prefer but their Bind and pearl are probably best in the tourney, their Ascent punishes agro teams very hard, but DRX isnt that. and their fracture is really good, but prolly not better than DRX's. I hope they have been working Breeze cuz thats kinda their gate into this win

I think optics win con is dont play Ascent. Their strat has been cracked and i feel drx is really going to be able to punish it well.

giving yoru the option dosnt necessarily mean its even a good option to begin with. yoru has 2 flashes and a clone, not really things that make a good OPer. part of what makes chamber a good OPer is that his econ is fucking busted, he has a trip to watch his back when holding an angle, and he can reliably 1 tap you at any range; his deag being better than the actual deag and the vandal. Yoru dosnt always have a 1tap at hand unlike chamber.

what buffing yoru to be able to OP really does, is open up team comps more than they already are. Yoru will never be better at OPing than Jett or Chamber, but if you are looking for more freedom in your comp, being able to check off locking either Jett or Chamber by default goes quite a bit. I think ur also under the impression that buffing yoru to be able to OP means he needs some crazy instant frame 1 TP, it dosnt need to be and shouldnt be that, he just needs to be slightly faster but probably slower than chamber atm

mug blooded americans rally

I do hope Jett gets a slight buff, shes just kinda a bit underwhelming. so are the other Duelists, really only Raze and Neon are great rn; everyone else is just comfort, no reason to pick them realistically besides that.

I really hope riot buffs Yoru's TP frame data so he can OP as well. I think that would be a great change and would really shake up pro play.

marved enjoyer W

you've had an acc for a year, have never made a post until now, and your first post is the worst take ive ever seen on this site. and I read all the EU shitter threads

vlr drainer ?

kanye

true

2 do. NA >>>>>>>>>>>

map 1 was really crazy ill give fpx and drx that

ns

ik, I remember a Nadeshot clip of him talking about acquiring TenZ and he said post Iceland his contract was way more than 2 mill, and TenZ is realistically bigger than ever now and has a comic ig? What ur buying Yay for is a nontoxic brand friendly player, who also happens to be the best in the world, guarantees you a top 3 NA team, and is never gonna have a bad game. Orgs buy egotistical shithead 16 year olds who dont work with people or socialize right for their fortnite teams for tons of money, I dont doubt Yay whos basically an Org's dream is worth as much as post Iceland TenZ. Hes even decently clouted when he does stream, he draws in roughly 10k? 2.5 mill seems pretty light to me colossal personal brand or not

if TenZ was like 1.2 mill in like 2021 pre Iceland yea; I have no doubt Yay is bare minimum 2.5mill. If his socials were larger i would say easy 3 mill but a contract for him is basically just to have winning clout, not off the server clout

Zekken best entry NA

LMFAO, FRAUDS. a 17 year old > SHITMEA

absolutely. nobody expected FPX to beat FNC because historically is dosnt happen either. then FPX somehow won vs FNC and everyone was thrown a curveball having to deal with a cringe anti strat team instead of fun matches against a good team. PRX should have won, everyone knows that. glad they are being outed rn vs the SET. Zekken dif, a 17 year old > ur region

Guys, optic IS the NA super team LMFAO

Nobody in NA is better than any of them in their roles

anyone malding about XSET is just mad a 17 year old is in EU rn shitting over their entire ranked leaderboard with a 80%wr

I got this reddit post on my recommended feed and wanted to talk about it, specifically the top 10 players OAT list this VAMP stat generated below.

Player VAMP
nats (Berlin) 101.4
Shao (Copenhagen) 94.0
Marved (Reykjavik '22) 93.1
yay (Berlin) 88.1
TenZ (Iceland) 84.3
MaKo (Reykjavik '22) 83.5
SugarZ3ro (Reykjavik '22) 82.0
Sacy (Champions '21) 78.1
Derke (Champions '21) 75.0
Jinggg (Copenhagen) 68.6

Personally when I saw this I was really blown away with how good of a list this is. I cant really point out anything I'd disagree with personally so here's the question ig, are these the best players OAT; i think id agree.

Im not really all up on that nats train personally and i think id prolly change up that top 4 slightly (yay 1, marved 2, nats 3, shao 4) but whats yalls top 10

i thought people on this site actually watched competitive valorant 💀

how do people come to conclusions like these 😭😭😭😭😭

id consider the gpro pretty small, love this mouse

sinatraa top 3. ok buddy

true. no bias. only objective Zekken facts

XSET is underrated. Zekken is gonna go off this LAN i can feel it. NA as a whole is making it out of groups fs, all 3. OpTic win champs

Its prolly yay, but man does NRG tex really just blow my mind every time i see him with an OP in hand

Chile

theres literally published audio, and a 14 page google doc. even if you wanna ignore a literal audio recording because she "dropped charges" (was bullied, doxed, and swatted by his rabid fan base if 14 year olds), hes still objectively abusive and manipulative and PERSONALLY admits to that.

not saying you knew any of this, but now you do. yes, sinatraa is a rapist, idgaf
