GenG: No one fears this team bro, you just throw 9 rounds and you know they'll choke.
DRX: No reason to fear a team with Termi coaching unless you're between them and getting 5th-6th.
Talon: They are only scary if they lost the previous week
T1: The only one fearing T1 are T1 players when they make a mistake and buzz is on the team
RRQ: Nothing to really say but they just don't come across as a team that would scare other teams
DFM: This team hasn't played any team from the other regions apart from offseason and very early shitter China teams and has never made an international event. This team imposes 0 fear on anyone
PRX: They are the only one teams are actually probably scared to face.

Okay at least C9 don't look terrible but man both 100T and EG look terrible right now

Unironically I think babybay would be better

G2 Icy wasn't even good though, like he has 1 or 2 games where he looked like an above average duelist but the rest of the time he was a borderline tier 2 player

Only ever perform well against bad teams? It feels like as soon as he faces a good team he has either no impact or is just middling. Is he just the best of mid and bad players or is there a different reason.

Why would you ban sunset when you know 100T isn't good at it and instead let 100T best map through. Like even if you aren't good at sunset, neither is 100T so at least and it can't be worse than this bind.

I mean that's because he's always on senti/viper it just kind of comes with the role. Its bad when its your duelist or initiator who are getting a ton of exit frags

No, I just don't want two teams waste so much time that they either lose on time or they only have 15 seconds to get into site every single round. I want FNC or other slow teams to not only play slow on atk and actually get onto a site before 25 seconds once in a while.

DRG winning this easy don't worry

They play rounds so slow that they either run out of time or they are barely able to plant and then the round just comes down to the team who has more util, and if two or three players die before a site exec they just save. Its just not very entertaining to watch 2 teams play this slow and then hardly speed up at all especially when other slow teams will speed up.

Usually I'm not a huge fan of the Sen jersey's but this one is actually a really good design.

I have no idea why they picked this map, like I'm sure what they did to AG gave them confidence but it just looks like doesn't really understand how this map works anymore. Like XLG takes space one site and then when they get contested they just go back to one of the other sites but they take so long to do it that the other team has already retaken the space XLG got and know to rotate.

You made a small typo, you listed all those teams but you see DRG is winning against all those teams so you should shorten your list to just DRG. Its an innocent mistake but in the future you should just know DRG is better.

I feel like its more ziks wasting him than 100T, like Cryo could have learned to flex or play an entirely different role this year an in the offseason, but since 100T is allergic to the offseason, and ziks didn't try and get cryo on any new agents or roles this entire year even though they haven't had good results really limits cryo's potential.

TL;DR: It's ziks fault

Maybe he really is going to 100T, the timing seems to convenient for it to not happen

DRG vs PRX or DRG vs XLG

I know some of it is because of certain holidays so they usually schedule around them like they did for chinese new year. But I'm not entirely sure thats the full reason

He took 100T from mid back to mid in less than a year

1st: Drop Asuna and pick up a tier 2 duelist like alym or sonofcar. Asuna's been on the team for 5 years and has been the one constant in every team that has been mid.

2nd: Get a better coach than Ziks. It always feels like he only has 100T practice 2 maps and then when teams start beating them on those maps they just don't have a good map pool anymore.

3rd: Learn Lotus. How can you expect to be a top team when you can't play lotus, its the one map that has been in the map pool for ages, and a map in which pretty much every good team is at least decent at.

4th: Cryo needs a coach who realizes he can play more than just Jett, Sage, Chamber, and Iso. He has shown he's good on so many agents like sova, astra, brim, clove and omen, he can play gekko, the two times he's played cypher he looked good on it. Ziks under utilizes Cryo's talent so much when Cryo has the talent and ability to flex to more agents if you give him time to learn them.

Its looking rough for 100T, their map pool just can't really compete with G2's

FNC and Sen are twinsies

Never have I had someone speak my exact opinion on an agent. Like why do the people who always pick sage use the excuse of sage being easy when Cypher is easier and Senti is already and extremely easy role. Also every agent in the game is more useful than sage, I'd even rather see a fucking harbor than another instalock sage because at least harbor wall is useful past the pistol round.

I mean half of the the duelist in the NA VCL playoffs currently would be an upgrade to Icy the Furia farming fraud

DRG is winning this game 13-0 13-0

It depends on which batu you get, the "I'm going to carry the game" batu or the "hey were up by ten rounds in game 2 after losing the first map I'm gonna troll the game and then we'll lose 2-0" batu.

I guess you could say he's like the Asuna of VLR

I'm surprised no one said this but Spike, he's kind of a neon one trick, his other agent are alright but nothing special.

Don't you dare pretend to go on a run in the lower bracket like you did last year just to end up doing nothing in the ascension tournament. This time let the teams that might actually have a chance through by not deciding you're a good team for a couple weeks and then realizing that you're not actually good it was just delusion.

Don't care, didn't read it, all you need to know is that vo0kashu and his kittens(other drg players) will win China

Michelin stars are known to be kind of hand me outs and not that impressive now days

Glyph and Chloric

Is this the man who has made the so called legendary chicken nuggets

You're forgetting raafa

I just found it interesting that I did this just to win an argument months ago. Also the fact that Cryo and Asuna have more than double Icy's map top frags while sharing the duelist role is criminal.

Cute dragon logo and vo0kashu

I found a piece of paper from a couple months ago when I was cleaning out a drawer. On this paper I went through every player who played duelist in Americas 2024 and saw how many times they got the most kills in a map, if they tied with someone else on their team then vlr rating decided whether or not they would be considered top fragger, also I only went through americas matches and didn't consider internationals. This was all because I was arguing with someone that Jawgemo was better than Icy or something like that I wanted to prove them wrong.

Here are the results:
Asuna: 12
Cryo: 13
Jawgemo:10
Quick: 3
Tuyz:1
Tenz:1
Keznit: 17
Aspas: 31
Artzin: 7
Palla: 2
Oxy: 18
Zekken: 26
Demon1: 4
Victor: 1
Ethan: 2
mwzera: 11
Leaf: 6
icy: 5

If I missed anyone let me know

Personally I don't like Will and then I started out liking Johnathan but currently I'm not a huge fan of his character

The username says it all

That's right my goat cook his liquid loving ass

Brazil and decent IGL is a contradiction and cannot be said in the same sentence

That's why the /Urango is there, I mean saadhak is obviously the better option, but if Furia can't get him then they'll have to make do with Urango because brazil has a drought of good igls

Artzin and gobera do not belong on a superteam

Spike
Silenzz
Basic
Saadhak/Urango
Heat

Furia might actually be a decent team with a roster like this

Everyone on my team is an X-Factor, sometimes one player looks like the best player in china other times they look more clueless than jawgemo enjoyer playing against prime in the funhaver invitational

Make all the excuses you want a loss is a loss

?

Its hard for a team to care when there's nothing on the line
