bro i miss Xerxia

7.5/10. Definitely one of the stand-outs on last year's M8

Given time, I can 100% see it

Bullet in the Head by Rage Against the Machine

pardon me for my french

shameless

I think anybody who has won a major makes it (plus a few others who haven't won yet but have been exceptional like MaKo or f0rsaken)

That's crazy talk from someone who isn't forklift certified

magic 8ball says "As I see it, yes"

color me corrected

I just mean that they should never have those 3 maps in the same rotation, for my sanity

🗿

literally 1984

If so, they can't have it in the pool at the same time as lotus and haven. That'd get old really fast and ruin the gimmick

not always a bad thing but KOI as an org have always baffled me with some of the decisions they make. might just be me tho

He'd need to go -25 and bomb out in his next series for this to have any significant impact on his legacy

I miss the old jimmy, straight from the 'Go Jimmy
Chop up the soul Jimmy, set on his goals jimmy
I hate the new Jimmy, the bad mood Jimmy
Get people sued Jimmy, farming for views Jimmy
I miss the sweet Jimmy, no lotteries Jimmy
I gotta to say at that time I'd like to meet Jimmy

"on paper" is never how we should compare this. Split 1 NRG was also good on paper, and they got their shit kicked in by teams who actually had solid strategies and played off of each other. If G2 loses to a team that they should have beaten, then we can talk

except for 2 games in kickoff, both teams he played for had no leadership and were/would have been just as lost without him. Also, he was c9's best performing player in lock in and Redbull homegrounds

wdym? they had a really close series against a team that we just saw beat GenG. It's way too early to call that

top 5 for me can be in any order tbh. It's hard to compare the form of teams in group B to teams in other groups

looked better in the other game they played but I see your point. Also I have a lot more confidence in GenG keeping their form

1. G2
2. GenG
3. DRX
4. EDG
5. TH
6. TE
7. FPX (low sample size)
8. LEV
9. FNC
10. FUT (low sample size)
11. VIT
12. SEN (low sample size)
13. KRU
14. PRX (low sample size)
15. TLN (low sample size)
16. BLG (low sample size)

I agree. Don't fuck with a system that has been proven to work. Focus on honing the skills and strats of said all-star team.

VLR's transactions thing must be buggin then

not having an IGL is a far worse choice and reason for the poor performance. Split 1's NRG is proof

He seems like a nice dude, but when it comes to running a Valorant team, Toast knows about as much as whoever on KOI decided to drop Kamo and ShadoW and then pick them back up a month later.

The fact that the team touted to win ascension at the beginning can place 4th in Americas without any major implosion mid-season shows the depth of our tier 2 talent. I think M80 has the potential to fry in tier 1

Yeah kinda, I know a comeback is a huge possibility, just don't know whether it will pan out that way. Not nearly ass stressful as I'd imagine being a PRX or SEN fan is tho

We got a ton of promising tier 2 talent and G2 so I think we'll be fine tbh but I'm worried for Sentinels' future as a roster

It's clear they didn't do any research into trace's map pool which is so shocking from a champions-level team. Looking at VLR alone will tell you that Abyss would have been a much better choice than ascent, they just banned it because of their own pool, not taking into account the enemy's.

yay. Man's been though it all

I'd love to be wrong but I don't think SEN can get a map off FPX in their current forms. They utterly failed to adapt to GenG on Haven and won many of their round by aim alone (will be tough against FPX).

FPX will be a tough game

me omw to actually do that shit:

i have faith they can win ascension. JP deserves another team

basically (incredibly long story short) PRX fans falsely accusing Flashback from DRX of rape and blow the whole situation out of proportion because they lost lower finals

he's in a flower field happily picking sunflowers

i'm more focused on the fact that FNS is on the kill leaderboard, above Marved D4v41 and Jinggg

RIP map pick

Trace Esports vs FPX, champions 2024

You’re just hating for the sake of hating now I think jinggg is clean

Was boutta say inspire but remembered the post said tier 1

Maybe a mental advantage to some people, kinda like skins

Victor’s knife kill on ScreaM’s in the video. That counts for something I guess
