If you think these matches aren't important then you're dumb, winning is important in stage 1 and stage 2 where making playoffs is incredibly important, and by winning more you get a better seeding during playoffs. Also last year by winning 1 of these "non important" matches SEN ended up making it to champs and 100T didn't even though 100T won against SEN during stage 2 playoffs.

I mean with how 100T played today 2G might just have some competition

I mean I do understand the concern of picking him up, but at this point demon1 has brought so many role issues to LEV and has really only been good on jett so far, and mephisto fixes that and has a lot of potential.

I could also see LEV picking up someone like Virtyy who be more tier 1 ready or just waiting until next year and bring Neon up from their academy roster

-Demon1
+Mephisto

I feel like the only teams that could truly be considered rivals with SEN would be loud and GenG

I mean I got half of my pick em's wrong

I picked NRG over C9 because I believed in all the people telling me this time NRG was going to be great
I picked LEV over MIBR because I didn't know MIBR were going to sign verno and I thought that maybe LEV could come back
I pick Loud over Kru because I honestly didn't know who to pick because it seemed like it would be a close game.

So I understand getting some of the games wrong and I get maybe picking 2G over EG because both of the teams are pretty shit, but to pick Furia over G2 is crazy, and to even think 100T are going to win against Sen in the regular season is absolutely braindead.

His aim is still good, but since he's on initiator now he has to focus more on using his util to help his team and stopping the enemy team, while still calling, so he doesn't get to focus on his aim as much.

I mean Sen has a good enough lotus that even G2 bans it against them, so it would make sense for 100T to ban it.

100T banning Icebox over Split made no sense to me though, especially if 100T was going to play the same comp they already showed Sen, did 100T not think that Sen was going to adjust their most dominant map.

Icebox would have made more sense imo, since it just rotated into the map pool and both teams probably haven't had that much time on it, and 100T have a history of being good on it, while Sen have a history of not even practicing it.

I mean I do think viper is better, in fact I think no senti on split is better, but I feel like if 100T were going to play senti they should have chosen a better senti.

What I think 100T should have done instead was have cryo on jett or yoru, or maybe double smokes, double initiator

My question is why would you play sage over deadlock currently, they do almost the almost the same thing but deadlock just does everything better.

Boostio did call a terrible split, but his calls on pearl and haven were actually really good, its just that the team couldn't convert any man advantages, so I think you keep boostio (even if he's currently not fragging well).

I think the biggest problem is asuna and cryo with their role issues and their completely different playstyles, I think that 100T should choose one or the other to keep.

The whole point of the comp is the trap plays and once another team sees it, it becomes a much easier to not get trapped and then the comp becomes much easier to deal with.

Its not luck if it has happened so many times, 100T are just throwing rounds

you forgot to add M80 are destined to eternally finish 2nd place

I mean the problem is s0m insists that he has to play with fns and will quit if fns does so s0m sadly isn't an option to keep

-FNS
-s0m ( They would have to drop him because he doesn't want to play without FNS)
+Spaz
+Paincakes
Keep Brawk(IGL),
Keep Mada
Keep Ethan for now (possibly replace with Darker, but there might be a language barrier so they might not want to)

Seriously, and yet there is always someone who feels the need to pick reyna on split even if you need another role, and then will proceed to bait every round

-reyna
-sage

don't have to get rid of harbor since no one plays him anyway

And then all is good in the world

I have seen 0 racism, what drugs are you on.

Also ethan is no longer a good player after that performance.

I like both teams, but I think Kru win this.

You're just mad that Ethan has gotten power crept by players who can not only get a lot of kills, but also put up more assists

He may be a support type player, but he didn't even really get the number of assist a support player should get, even his kast was pretty low for someone who is not playing duelist.

Is MGK even a rapper?

You guys kept saying ethan is a great player and his util is some of the best, but from what I have seen over the last 2 years, his util is mid and he can't even shoot back.

Literally carried by EG in 2023.

If you put the prime loud members on NRG then yes

You see xeppaa has to use his own life force to play good everytime he plays good he shaves years off his life.

ong China production is goated, the only complaint I have is that there is no english casting, but other than that it is great

G2 end up bombing out of stage 1 and don't make masters toronto

And heals herself because she took a tiny bit of damage, meanwhile you're at 30hp

Eggster has played kay0 before and was pretty good on it, but with how good yoru is in the meta there's no point for him to play anything else

I can list more EMEA fans who have been insufferable, but that wouldn’t change your mind because you’re not actually engaging with what I’m saying—you’re just trying to discredit me by calling me a ‘bandwagon China fan.’

Also, I never said China is a better region. I said EMEA is the worst because the fans have been constantly pushing this ‘EMEA is the best’ narrative when it clearly hasn’t been for a while. If you actually had a counterpoint, you’d make one instead of melting down over the fact that I don’t think EMEA is some untouchable god-region. But go ahead, keep proving my original point.

So your whole argument is that because I joked ‘don’t take him away, also EMEA is shit’ in a thread, that somehow invalidates everything I said about EMEA fans being unbearable? That’s a reach.

I didn’t ‘randomly’ start arguing about EMEA vs China— I simply responded to someone downplaying Chinese teams and acting like EMEA is miles ahead, which, shocker, is exactly the kind of behavior I was talking about. The fact that you’re ignoring that and instead trying to paint me as some ‘gaslighting psychopath’ for having an opinion is actually crazy.

Also, acting like my comment in the vo0kashu thread was some major offense is wild. It was a casual remark, and you’re treating it like I committed a war crime. You are also currently being incredibly hypocritical when you are in fact also arguing with a so called 'random baiter'

I commented in a thread yesterday and literally had someone talk about how all chinese teams apart from EDG would loose to tier 2 teams and EMEA teams would destroy them. And do you know how many threads there are where someone criticizes EMEA and then someone mentions trophies from 2 years ago. Also I would watch more EMEA games if they weren't so god damn boring.

Recently a lot of EMEA fans have been so incredibly unbearable. Like they think every team in their region is so far above the rest and the players their are the greatest talent in all of valorant and then start saying their weakest teams would beat some of other regions strongest, and if you don't agree with them they almost always bring up the trophies from 2023 to justify their take even though that was 2 years ago and is irrelevant, or they'll just call you a slur and won't actually defend their take.

Because Rit0 is a very greedy company

And yet with all these "competent" players, EMEA still manages to be shit

EMEA and competent players in the same sentence lol.

EMEA is just full of a bunch of players who look good until it actually matters and then manage to throw harder than NRG did against BLG

I don't think you can put China and eco farming in the same sentence

Don't you dare take him away, also EMEA is shit

People really thought Nova was going to win lol

We don't except flairs like yours here

It would be incredibly funny if they do even worse

How do none of you know what an academy does??? Where does this misconception that an academy has to develop unknown talent come from? An academy exist for the sole purpose of being a talent pipeline into tier 1 teams, they don't care if a player is known or not, they just care if the player is talented. The primary goal for academy teams is developing talent, training future main roster members, and experimenting with subs or role swaps. Also selling off talented players is not the reason an academy roster is made, it is made to nurture talent, provide experience, and allow for internal roster flexibility.

Not degrees Celsius, degrees Fahrenheit, it would be about 23 degrees C, and that was at noon, right now its like 4 degrees celsius and is suppose to drop more.

I'm starting college here soon, and I'm only 18 so I don't have a stable income.
