Pretty sure Messi is the goat regardless.

Sideshow was professionally casting overwatch for years before he moved over to valorant, which he has also now dedicated countless hours to watching and studying. The fact that you actually believe "theres barely any difference between him and ur average valorant analyzer" tells me and anyone who's chosen to read this exchange just how fucking stupid you are.

Yea, it's possible they win. The season is long, anyone could improve and win. Just thought it was weird to completely dismiss oxygen. But he already said he just forgot about them lol. So all good.

MxS who's lost 3 times to oxygen in the offseason is the real contender? Interesting take.

What you're saying is nonsense. The video isn't actually meant for tenz directly. It never was. It was for the community to give them an actual idea of what's going wrong with Tenz's play and what he can/should do to improve and find more success overall on his team(He says as much near the start of the video). It might be obvious to an analyst/coach but it is not to the majority of community since they lack the ability(or willingness) to actually watch games from an analytical scope.

And since he's stating the obvious, he clearly does know what he's talking about.

The only person who has no idea what he's talking about is you.

No. Not lock-in style. Each region has its' own kickoff tournament. Top 2 in each region qualify to Madrid masters in march.

Being a team player doesn't mean you're immune to making mistakes. I'm sure there was nuances missed in some of the scenario's in sideshow's video. That doesn't mean everything he was commenting on can be hand-waved as "simply not understanding the context" of the situation. There were mistakes that tenz was making that were simply his own. Not everything is black and white but there are situations that are. And ultimately the conclusion he came to were;

  1. tenz switching off duelist
  2. focusing on supportive agents which fits his play-style
  3. looking to expand his agent pool

This is exactly what the team has opted to do of their own volition which makes it obvious that sideshow's assessment of tenz in the video was spot on. You wanna shit talk an analyst that literally pour tens of hours into watching and meticulously analyzing a player with constructive feedback. You're just talking out your ass, regurgitating bullshit you yourself don't understand. Pretending as if your concern is actually well meaning. You're just upset because your favorite player may have had his feelings hurt.

FNS called out a single play in a 1.5hour video. Oh my the scandal! Chill. It's not that deep.

My guy. Come back to reality. This is the roster going forward. Hopefully they let pancada go so he can explore his options.

Reading too much into it. Players on teams in the final aren't in the showmatch, whether they're riding the bench or not.

Lol. This is so false. The leagues are combined for marketing/financial reasons. That's all.

Call me crazy but the ceiling of this liquid team doesn't seem that high.

Yep. Time+a real igl. The only time we saw them actually play with a real igl was the beginning of this season when they hadn't actually come together as a cohesive unit yet.

lol. Definitely being too hyperbolic with that description. But yea, it's a great show. My #1 for the season (probably for the year too tbh).

Huh? The question is about aim tho, not overall best player. It's clearly demon1 from what we've seen.

posted 4 months ago

Missed the fact that there's an open qualifier. As for how well they'll do, probably not good. Complexity weren't looking great at the end of GC series 3. And I think shopify is the only gc team that could potentially do well against t2 teams. We'll see how it goes tho.

posted 4 months ago

Everyone got invited. There is no qualification process. What is confusing you?

posted 4 months ago

They were third but they were a third that was FAR FAR OFF the top 2, especially by champions (honestly zeta were probably better at that point too). I think it's too soon to say but with how they currently look, perhaps they can get closer or surpass DRX/PRX with time.

Sacy isn't pancada's mother. I'm sure he'd rather win without him than lose holding hands with him.

posted 4 months ago

I'll tell you this. Idk if pancada is out permanently. But zellsis is most definitely in permanently.

posted 4 months ago

Well, you could argue that is the logical choice from a roster performance perspective. But I do think it's hasty. I think letting tenz stay in to play smokes for a while is an okay decision. See how he performs and re-asses if things are dire (does not look like that will happen at all currently). And benching tenz is absolutely wrong from a financial perspective. He is the sentinels brand at this point. They don't really mention how important that is on plat chat too often but it really isn't something that can be ignored, especially in the esports winter.

Watched that 30min interview of him with tom. Seems like a chill and low-ego veteran. After yesterday, feeling very good about him and T1 overall for next season.

posted 4 months ago

I mean, they weren't even talking about him for that long. He just had a few high impact rounds on defense that sealed the map.

They basically said anyone hating on trans/NB players in the GC scene can go fuck off. And most people concerned about cis-women in the GC scene are really just using that as an excuse to be transphobic/misogynistic.

Not only that. He is still cracked aim wise. So it is possible for him to improve as a supportive player(which fits his play-style better) and be one of the best in the world again.

posted 4 months ago

If they choose to start zellsis, then pancada definitely won't be starting in 2024 unless something crazy happens last minute with NRG/EG. All the Brazillian/Latam/other NA rosters are already settled and they aren't gonna switch it up in the next two months even if pancada is totally free. Maybe he'll be able to transfer to a different team during the season if their roster isn't working out.

Florescent may very well end up leaving at the end of next season but I don't think she will before that. Even if she did, I think they could find another duelist and still make it.

Because they'll make challengers and be fully focused on that all year

That's not a reasonable expectation. The difference in popularity of Valorant in the Americas vs every where else is nothing at all compared to the popularity of LoL in China/Korea vs every where else. Add on the cultural differences (in terms of esports acceptance and work ethic) and infrastructure differences (mainly in latam vs KR/CN), there is no way you can ever expect the chinese/korean domination you see in LoL to be replicated by the Americas region in valorant, even if it is 2-3 regions combined.

Combination of EG playing much better than they did here in Brazil (and not just because of keenc) and shopify playing much worse than they usually do in NA series 3 finals.

This simply isn't true. Did you actually even watch the podcast? The majority of the teams in LCK are net negative currently. That's why they've chosen to start restructuring the financials of the league coming into 2024 and set salary caps/luxury taxes. Unless you're doing that stupid thing where you're referencing the overarching mother company when we're clearly just talking about the esports division/teams of said companies.
