I hate this really dumb “Leo is a baiter” narrative. Alfajer (outside of like 2 matches) only farmed when fnc were dominating or winning, same with chron. Every single competitive match prime fnatic had Leo was the one who stepped up. I’m obviously not talking about what happened after he left.

Idgaf about stats
Leo literally dragged fnc kicking and screaming up 2 maps against loud in lock-in grand finals. He was the reason they won upper finals vs EG. Carried them in the important map v DRX when they got 13-1ed first map in champs. Literally put them on his back for all of stage 1 playoffs last year, was a big reason why they won the grand finals too. Alfa is very inconsistent last year. Just because he played well at Toronto doesn’t magically rewrite his past performances.
Mentioning 11-3 is funny because how did fnatic get up 2 maps in the first place? A huge part of it was Leo.

Bro had the best smoker (also the best lurker), the best initiator (at least in na), the best IGL, and the best flex (rb propaganda will not work) who was a suicidal level entry for him

At champs zeek had nearly as much impact. I would not say cned carried, but he was prolly still their best player.

Does prefranchising really count though? Korea were really weak at that point

Zeek did a lot to work too and starxo popped off in playoffs

Nah Leo was actually better than Alfa Alfa boosted tf out his champs stats on bilibili and zeta and got hard carried by Leo and derke in lock-in

Not to mention 2024 where Leo carried tf out of fnatic to even make Shanghai while Alfa was just ok

I laugh every time I see this guy posting his cards on twitter. Dude considered headshot percentage as a relevant stat to how good players are 😂

Rating is definitely shit but he had lower adr and also died 33 times in the second map. The adr suggests maybe he got eco frags or kills on low hp players? Idk I didn’t watch this one

That’s a pretty niche scenario though, most smoke Assists happen because running through a smoke with a flash is common pro play or pure luck spamming through a smoke. It would be cool though for different assists to be weighted differently (flashes > heals) for an example

Apr on smokes is kinda iffy don’t you get assists for people running through smokes and dying or spamming through smoke? Also get assists for brim stim

Kru will proceed to get grouped at champs like usual and just waste our time, sad :(

You don’t want a 3rd map? Not a real Val fan

Let Keznit, mazino, and shy be free your org is committing terrorism forcing them to play with adverso
The fact that these two haven’t won even a domestic split should be considered a war crime

Our talent is also spread out a lot. We have a lot of teams with 2 good players, 2 shutters + igl. Compare that to geng, or edg or prx for an example.

Whatever happens they need to they rid of either net or Xeppaa. I think Xeppaa is flexible and has great util + comma so I’d go with net, he’s way too inconsistent

He’d be a great pickup as a flex if woot locked in and played fucking duelist

LMAOOO coach played fine but he did not play better than leaf could have 😂

They all have excuses. Sen are china merchants, 100t aren’t playing shit they just are, and woot has decided to roadblock his own career and not play his best role which he grind in ranked

Get rid of either Xeppaa or net, and Oxy and Vic are cracked enough to make this team insane. Having 2 sandbaggers is just fucked though. They shoulda kept Rossy as senti even if they didn’t want him to igl

Is he actually a second caller or is he just vocal? And there is a pretty big difference between secondary calling (which is midrounding) and igling (primarily start of the round game plan)

Honestly I’d rather get rid of benjy if I can find a more consistent sentinel player than get rid of a proven igl

They flukes the fuck out of their way here tbh
No rarga no win

Has benjyfishy igled before? What t2 igl do you have in mind? Maybe rose but idk how old he is. Is that worth the risk of dropping boo? Is his igling so bad that you’d take that risk?

I keep seeing this take so I’m curious who would you replace boo with as an igl if you drop him?

Don’t you have 2? But the point still remains we were constantly winning trophies and we haven’t in a while. Certain teams like g2/th/fnc still made finals, but the 2nd 3rd place teams from our regions did shit.

Low key Americas need a super team. Like a leaf, Zekken, valyn, Verno, narrate typa NA super team (totally unrealistic Ik), and then Aspas, luxko, pancada, cauanzin, artzin (a bit questionable but he’s still a good igl). Latam super team of kingg, Mazino, shyyy, Keznit, + any latam initiator that’s not adverse, perhaps even com (despite being na)

We have 100t and c9 holding OXY and cryo hostage. Jqt and zellsis is fucking around with talent the likes of bang, Zekken, and narrate. I’m worried that artzin will end up holding Verno and Aspas back. Keznit and Mazino are stuck in kru prison.

What are we doing wrong? Are we lacking talent?. Or understanding of the meta? This is embarrassing china was 2 years late and pacific has never historically dominated fps games. I think our talent might be too spread out across too many teams. Geng had all the best Korean players. Edg has all the best Chinese players (minus maybe spring). Loud (when they were in prime) had all the best Brazilian players. Old fnatic kinda had the same situation, all the best eu players at their roles together.

Bro landed a bullet and a half on avg per round 😂

Hello guys, a few days ago my graphics driver updated and ever since then I tried opening valorant and it gives me the d3d11 error. I tried updating windows/driver and restarting/uninstalling valo but the only way it opens is if I rollback the driver update.
Playing with the old version of driver drops my fps by nearly 1/4th and I get stutters every few seconds that drops my fps to single digits
Anyone know the fix?

Not to mention double sentinel and attack side on ascent

Th in grand finals, geng when they have a lead, narrate in ranked

They lost their second best (best now that tejo is nerfed) player, what did you expect

You might be misremembering, Zekken was a prospect at the time sentinels were considered the best team in the world, there is no way they were considering replacing anyone on sentinels for him.

Zekken was never really a tier 2 prospect, he was on noble who at the time made the tier 1 circuit then got picked up by xset in mid 2021
I think verno is by far the biggest real tier 2 prospect by hype

I’d never allow myself to be separated from you pookie 😘

Nah he played well on 23 nrg, he was still out calling a lot of igls, he truly fell off when he returned in 24, his fragging was shit and you could tell his calling now didn’t compensate

Always kills me that finesse saw this performance and put verno on vyse

Nrg

LMFAOOOO the other thread got nuked

They can get away with it cause rrq don’t have vyse but yeah I think yoru is generally better

Well no, he tried to make a play to not give up his advantage (that Kushy didn’t know where he was), but kushy’s internal clock made him look at heaven for a reflank so it looked like a throw

He was flanking, if fade ult hit the trail would have let kushy know that som was behind him, so he went for a tp to try and kill him before that happened. It looks bizarre but skuba ran up the rope and 2 people default swing kushy and also lost.

Ah yeah I’m slow. I’d prolly go with Zekken then yes. Leaf is surprisingly close as well.

I have tenz higher than nats but tenz didn’t peak higher in 2021. One tournament doesn’t mean he peaked higher for the entire year.

Definitely. Him leaving also fucked up roles with pancada and tuyz for a time. Thank god loud got lukxo now, but it would have been better for loud and less if he’d stayed.

I don’t blame him tho, a team with trexx, derke, and Sayf sounds insane on paper

Rn prolly Trent. All time gotta be tenz, maybe yay/zelkken?

Idgaf about plat chats list, I’m just giving my opinion. But jeezus look at ur post history brother it’s just you dick riding the fuck out of tenz. I promise you he doesn’t need someone to defend him with your life on a valorant forum. This obsession is concerning at this points

Definitely, though I will say his style did make him overheat or die unnecessarily at times overpeeking. I do think Zekken should be higher than asuna and texture tho. Don’t think texture has played enough neon to justify him that high.

Nv beat sen and got 3-0ed by gambit, hah Gottem
