I do actually think that Sen have potential with Fracture rotating out and Sunset coming in.

Also, Sen's roles actually seem like they fit really well around the changes, they can have double duelist with zekken and n4rrate(as long as n4rrate isn't on iso) or maybe even zellsis on phoenix, they can have double Senti with john and Zellsis, double smokes with bang and zellsis/n4rrate or just keep double intitiator and swap the tejo for kay/o or gekko.

I feel like they definitely aren't the favorites, but I do think that they are in a good spot in with these changes along with PRX, MIBR and TH.

I really don't think that C9 should change their roster; I think they just need to go over what exactly makes them fall apart in playoffs and then find a way to fix it.

The most TS move would be to sign PatrickWho after this

TEC actually is better without rb and abo is underrated

Lotus, Fracture and Bind

icebox and abyss

They aren't good at pearl or haven either

I think she said "slip toward ct" but I'm not sure it was kind of hard to hear

Cypher or Fade

hm: Deadlock, KJ, and Harbor

Every player in tier 2 is fighting for a chance to play in tier 1, so of course if a player gets an offer to tier 1 they are going to take it. If comeback's teammates were offered a tier 1 contract they would have accepted it too, just like almost every other tier 2 player would accept a tier 1 contract.

It would be a huge gamble to make s0m the IGL when both Ethan and Brawk have experience IGLing and s0m having never IGL'd before.

Also being an IGL usually effects your performance in a negative way unless you've been doing it a long time and s0m not performing as well would be bad for the team.

I mean they made playoffs this split with FNS, so they should make playoffs next split, especially sincethey have the easier group.

Do you think the new IGL is going to be Ethan or Brawk?

I mean the clear answer is Ethan, but I'm pretty sure Ethan said he didn't want to IGL again after last year, and it went pretty poorly for NRG when he did IGL, so do you think Brawk is going to be the IGL instead

I do wonder how the roles are going to work now but I hope this is an upgrade over cangshu

I think that DRG needs to definitely replace Cangshu and then get a performance coach so that DRG are not loosing to teams who are much weaker than they are. They should not be losing to TEC and Tyloo when they are competitive with EDG and other good teams.

It was 11-2, they didn't get 11 hero rounds, also ain't no way a G2 fan is complaining about hero rounds

I would just study during the breaks like timeouts, tech pauses, and between games

That's the analysts desks job, not the announcers, the announcers whole job is to just call the plays in the game and talk about the players

If we are just comparing Omen then tenz, but every other controller Bang is better at

Do you think that stingers need a nerf? Like the amount of times teams win with them on eco rounds is really crazy. Also, it makes the spectre kind of useless when the stinger is just a cheaper, better gun.

0/8

Ragebait used to be believable

I mean I don't know if its good that DRG aren't in a group with EDG or if its bad that there are basically no bad teams in group omega except AG

I think you mean to say is G2 will relinquish what is rightfully Sentinels

My problem is it feels like all his reactions are forced unless he's co-streaming with someone he knows really well, and its especially apparent in Sentinels games. When other teams play its feels like his reactions are a bit more genuine but it still feels like he's forcing himself to react.

Maybe EG should have won then

On god this is so much better than watching him get shit on in pro play

Demon1 starts looking good again

Lev: HM... who could possibly be the problem? Aw its obviously Demon1.

Neon was not killed by nerfs, she's still extremely playable all while not being a completely broken agent, her nerfs were good.

So did ardiis

This is the true precise gunplay riot was talking about

I think what they should do is make it so that all the rechargeable abilities only recharge after getting 2 kills (maybe change it to 3 kills), like most of the duelist abilities, so that you still have to be mindful of how you use your utility incase you don't get 2 kills, but can also be rewarded for getting multi kills.

The mustache will come back more sturdy and stronger than ever before carrying mibr through toronto

Its hard to say who the best player in the world is right now, but players like trent, jawgemo, kangkang(ZmjjKK), t3xture, aspas, meteor and a couple other players have generally been in the conversation of whose the best, there are a couple other players who have looked really good during split 1, but due to them either having zero international experience or little international experience, its hard to really say they are the best in the world.

Also currently Sen have looked very good, even beating out G2 which has been considered the best or second best team for the majority of this year. I would put Sen, mibr, and G2 in a tier above the other america's team currently, they all seem like they can beat each other which makes it hard to rank them.

Players you should know in the America's region playoffs currently:

Aspas(mibr): Possibly the goat(very hot topic)
Zekken(Sentinels): Sen's star duelist and almost always has good performance, and has one of the highest ceilings of any player, and when he plays to that ceiling he looks unstoppable.
Entire G2 roster: Almost all the players almost never under perform and play very clean valorant which can get kind of boring but they are still insane
Yay(EG): In 2022 he was one of the best players in the world and was pretty much unstoppable on chamber and jett, but then fell of in 2023, 2024, and the start of this year, but recently he has looked like he is starting to come back into his prime form

Also you should know of FNS(NRG) and Boostio(100T), they both rival each other in terrible performances, but boostio sometimes decides to shoot back and when he does he can hit some insane shots, also boostio always shit talks the other team and stands up and yells at the other team if his team makes a player even if his team is down like 2-10

There are other players that you should know, but you will learn about them if you keep watching.

They keep the first map in TL's favor and then they allow KC to repick their map pick and then they redo the second group of bans so. I feel like this is the only way to make it fair for both teams.

That or they just replay the entire series, but that would then feel a bit unfair for TL.

Because he's said that he wont play if FNS doesn't

Just look at pretty much every past player on tyloo and you will have never heard of any of the players, the only one who you will have heard of is shr1mp

Riot spends all their money on the lol world opening ceremony and music videos for lol.

White peaches
Star Fruit
Prickly pear

I really like the flavor of mango, but I hate the texture of them which is really sad, but otherwise it would probably be on the list

Don't buy windows from Microsoft its stupid expensive, you can just get a key from somewhere and its only like $20-$30 versus $100+

Governor shouldn't be counted for a single region, he would probably be hated no matter what region he's in. He might even be top 10 most hated players of all time

Well first they're good which means they'll have haters no matter what, but the other part is that the refs seem to favor them with calls, like for example the opposing team could get a flag(penalty) called on them even though it wouldn't be a penalty in almost any other game, or the chiefs would commit a penalty and then it wouldn't be called against them.

Also Taylor Swift

I mean part of the reason could be all of EMEA's tech issues, after all he was performing pretty well before EMEA had all the tech issues

If G2 win they will face EG, and we might possibly get the most boring valorant game in VCT history

Which ever apac team is the best at the time vs either mibr or wolves(cope)

I mean yes, but it is such an extremely defensive sided map its not surprising. Also boom are definitely the worse team right now, that is clear.

You do realize this was their perma ban, the next two maps should be a better judge of if they are good or not

Its not the reading that's scary, its that most people aren't going to be able to read a doc with dozens of pages and then consume all that info and then apply it to their gameplay within a couple of hours. Its much easier for it to just be explained while watching a vod or playing in the server.

They are probably not writing 100 page documents on what went wrong and what they can fix, they are probably discussing it with the players and then implementing the fixes. It takes a lot more effort to write 100 page document, and then have all the players read it, than just having a discussion where you can see what went wrong and how to fix it.
