Wait ur deadass right. Mixed with a bit of envyz

Yo ticau copyright strike this mf

Sometimes you remind me of henbabyh if he wasn’t trying to bait and was an eu fan

Agreed. All the right teams went on runs but they should have had an 8 team double elim playoffs. The group stage is fine though, considering there were 32? Teams

It was one of my favorite tournaments to watch due to unpredictability. If they’d had slightly bigger playoffs (as opposed to 4 teams) it would ideal

The a fight is way easier with breach, and since they are playing double duelist they feel like they can get away with no recon initiator
I still dislike it though fade clears

Lock-in is a pretty shit format but neither loud or fnc’s runs are flukes considering how the year went
I still think that it’s impressive for both the teams

Ewc should prolly be below kickoff masters
The qualification format is less strenuous and extensive and allows for a lot more fluke runs

The type of roster they have this year and last year they shoulda won at least one by now tbh

Fnatic is a pretty safe bet, they nearly won with boaster going like -30

Nah this is crazy panda you gotta crash out the guy ur meatriding betrayed you

What if WE (me and YOU sentinelmain) just like getting choked

On everyone’s soul WE all relate to this

Who cares what he did years ago. He’s extremely inconsistent today and when you also have Zander underperforming and boostio struggling, people blame him because he’s had far more chances than them to perform. I agree that he’s overhated but it’s definitely partially justifiable.

I haven’t even seen tmv’s list but it’s surely better than this one.

Got booted off lev when franchising hit for being too mid so ofc kru picked him up in big 2024!!!!!!!!! I love recycling players….

Tenz is kinda washed and doesn’t play senti

I forgot him in honorable mentions but I wouldn’t put him top 10. He was top 10 in 2024, but only top 15 in 2025 and maybe 2022.

He’s slightly too inconsistent. Only stand out tourneys are Madrid and champs 24 (arguably maybe champs 22 as well)

I had him as the best player in 2024 (bare minimum top 3) and he’s a decent champs performance from securing top 10 this year too

He’s so close, but his team prevents him from making enough lan runs to show off his skills on the intl stage. His actual skill level is top 15-top10, he’s just not been able to show it. Mazino would also prolly be too 10 if he’d stayed on lev and if Aspas had stayed as well. He was incredible last year

Bump now that everyone awake I wanna see y’all’s takes on this order

Feel like you either need a duelist to make space or a gekko to safely plant bomb. Plus, is the extra omen blind really worth it over a gekko flash + wingman? Or a Jett with all the added verticality and dash (safer than omen tp for aggression)

It was impressive and showed off his potential, but it’s only 1 match. He needs to make more international and have multiple of those kind of performances to prove that it’s normal for him. Unfortunately his team is holding him back.

His team is too shit for him to consistently perform. We haven’t seen him make deep international runs to play against the other best players and teams in the world and still be able to perform. He’s only played 2 intl matches ever.

I’d have him top 20. As I said, I don’t value trophies as much. If he’d stayed on loud he might have ended top 5, as he was a top 5 player in 2022, but I can’t put him top 10 any other year.

He’s good but I recall more insane less results recently
Gotta give it to nats for basically pioneering viper on breeze, bind, icebox tho

Nah Leo was like that he always played well when fnc struggled. Aspas is overrated but he’s a bit too consistently good to argue against having high. I can see him being swapped with derke.

Derke should 100% be above tenz, as should chronicle, there’s literally no argument for them to be lower. I agree with all the people on ur list, the order is just a bit wack

I don’t think so. He was always a bit too inconsistent imo. He was incredible at Shanghai, but I thought texture was more consistent in 2024. He also did not deserve Bangkok mvp. I’d put him top 15 tho.

Tenz is definitely not above chronicle
They had similar career trajectories but chronicle has put up way more consistently good performances and is way more flexible.
I love the texture respect tho finally

Could definitely see it on the account of international performances, but I think it’s a bit too reactionary from Toronto.

Feel like I’m missing someone obvious

I heavily value individual performance and not trophies. Consistency is king in valorant since it’s such a rapidly changing game.

1. Leo (peak)/Aspas (consistency)
2. Leo/Aspas
3. Derke
4. Alfajer (lower than derke on account of 2024 and 2021 (low key 2022 as well))
5. Chronicle
6. Less
7. F0rsaken
8. Nats
9. Tenz
10. Texture
    HMs (low key 11-15) mako (slight fall off), Jinggg, yay, chichoo, kk, Zekken))

We need to see yoman vs noman, when DRX sign yoman and go on a run and xlg makes champs

Slightly off with the rage bait, you needa remove Lysoar and replace Rushia with spring or kk and it will actually work 5/8

Derke on haven, less on bind

We are losing a 4v5…

2024 aspas, 2022 saadhak, 2023 Leo, 2023 less, 2022 mako, 2023 potter coach
Saadhak plays flex igl, went for less over Alfa because he’s a slightly better lurker and this team got more than enough fire power btw

NoMan debut RAAAAAAAAAAAH #XLGredemptionarc

I’ll give it a try ty

Intel (r) graphics
I’m on a laptop btw

I keep getting this error message “ a d3d11 compatible gpu (feature level 11.0, shader model 5.0) is required to run the engine” when I try and boot up Val
My graphics driver says it’s up to date, I’ve tried restarting and I have all the latest windows updates

Any idea how to fix? Just randomly popped up today yesterday had no problems

I think it would be cool for the smaller masters (8 teams) to have a round robin group stage and then playoff bracket (double elim) like the regional leagues in 2023. That would absolutely ensure no fluke runs happen and that the winner is the best team.

Yair Rodriguez mentioned (fuck him how’s he getting a title shot in big 2025)

Forget chile he’s low key been the best latam player since 022

Yeah he’s the goat

I think Tex should deffo go tho, he was never tier 1 worthy even in 2022 outside of on duelist

Madrid his performance doesn’t really matter either no? Iirc edg went 0-2 or 1-2. His only standout performances where Tokyo (where he was individually incredible) and champs 2024. He was great in champs, but he only really played fantastically in 2 matches (v trace and th). He still had a lot of overheat moments or making mistakes in the other matches and smoggy and chichoo had more impact. He’s an incredible player still but not quite derke/Aspas level as people compare him too.

Exactly kick Tex and bring Less home I agree

Heat and tuyz Ik are good, and basic looks great in t2, but Palla has impressed me
Furia look good man hopefully this carries over to stage 2
