Was wondering the same thing.

The meta itself, less util for info resulting in more contacty play, is a VERY direct nerf to aspas' style of play which has always been a big part of why his teams do well.

ehh, that had more to do with Tenz himself specifically not being suited for the entry role

Coaching staff probably has to be replaced. Maybe after stage 1 if they're still a mess.

They're playing solo duelist on most maps and he's entry without much support. Could definitely be playing a lot better tho.

lol. Unfortunately, that's definitely not true.

?

It's 2, by Fnatic

Stupid statement/belief either way

Winning through upper bracket and nearly 3-0ing the finals, truly a fluke run LOL

Supamen won

"I thought all people learn in almost the same way"

Are you wrong? Absolutely lol

Yes for the most part but I think Stax was still igling for one of the maps in their map pool (pearl? Or i might be imagining he said that).

Possible but probably not.

Look at the dates? Kickoff starts January 2nd.

Not sure how long it runs, maybe he'll be able to play at the end if it lasts all month.

January 28th.

This Lev team is definitely gonna be fun to watch next year

thanks

People are so dumb. Do you think if they get rid of GC all that money is simply gonna be used on T2. NO. That's not how companies work.

And in riot's eyes, GC is definitely worth it. Even with the goal of it being a gateway for female/marginalized genders completely aside, it's good optics for Valorant to the wider gaming community and something unique as far as most esports go. Those latter two things alone are good enough for riot to keep it going for as long valorant esports is a thing.

Arc raiders

Yea. Aim in that game is more about tracking with mnk since TTK isn't instant like it usually is in Val. Regardless, he's mechanically cracked and comparable to any of the other pros from purely an aim perspective.

Tenz's team is definitely more stacked lol. Especially since Timmy is an ex apex pro and would probably be radiant if he spammed this game. But it seems to be going okay so far.

What's Jerrwin's from? Competitive wise.

They were relegated.

Bro, I can’t stop thinking about the times brawk just annoyingly spamming the Odin to win Champions, like he thinks spraying walls full of bullets makes him some kind of tactical god, when really he’s just turning every round into a chaotic demolition show nobody asked for. It’s absurd that a professional player can act like holding down M1 on drywall is a skill, while the rest of his team actually tries to play the game; he’s out here auditioning for ‘Fastest Property Destruction in NA,’ and somehow people clap for it. Every corner you peek, every window you try to clear, there’s a literal hailstorm of bullets making it impossible to even breathe, and the man sits there like it’s art — like his ego is louder than the Odin itself. And don’t even get me started on how it ruins the flow of the game. The rest of the squad is coordinating smokes, flashes, and entries, and brawk’s busy turning the map into a war crime scene while calling it strategy. It’s insane that someone can get paid to do this, because it’s not skill — it’s harassment. You’d get more tactical depth from a bot spraying walls randomly than from brawk holding down that gun, and yet somehow people act like he’s redefining VALORANT, when all he’s really doing is proving that walls are his true competition

FBI lost that game for his team. Sad.

In history? G2. Right now Flyquest.

2-0 Flyquest

no thanks

You mean you thought NA had the slot? No. 2nd place from all the Americas regions (Latam/NA/Brazil) will compete for it.

Amazing run. Truly.

TL were not good. The only group they could have made it out of if they switched was maybe A.

You forgot about Heretics Law

Actually a coach diff. Not bait, Kaplan looks like a hobo compared to bonkar lol

I know right, they just fluke every match xD

They're 11-1 on ascent this year. Could go either way but G2 is definitely a great ascent team. (rrq is 6-7)

Some of the players can go sure, but this one is primarily on the coaches. Such dog shit prep going into the biggest tournament of the year. Actually embarrassing with some of their looks on these maps when demos of their opponents are out there.

Sometimes when you laugh early, someone else gets to laugh last.

Out of all the ones you mentioned, I think the only one as bad or worse is ignite (imo).

People need to relax. He was still playing tier 2 and very good mechanically late into 2023. It's hasn't been THAT long.

Ehh, not really. The lower teams drag them down and RRQ/Talon haven't been the most consistent (not so much talon as of late).

I don't know much about the org. Team is good tho.

Mid? No, no they are not. lol

Top 2 in champs points, besides them, go. (so not necessarily 3rd/4th place)

Canezerra will be able to play stage 2 next year

Watch any interview with either. It's pretty clear.

Tex and Okeanos. They're repping their ethnic flags on VLR but they were both raised in NA.

LEV is 3/5 NA

You're already up, might as well stay up
