I think he meant more as in replacing the Sage with a Skye would be a lot better because you gain more info + they can also function as a second duelist. If you run Sage + a sentinel, then you're kinda shooting yourself in the foot

These EU teams are so bad if they 5 stacked ranked in NA, they'd be hard stuck plat

you sound mad af

with EU if you see one at A main, you know the other 4 are right behind him too

3 of them ran into a sage holding an angle without getting a single trade off. That is shockingly poor. If it was a Jett or Reyna holding that angle it would be more understandable because they are way harder to trade since they can dash/dismiss but a sage?

Yup but the EU fanboys dont wanna hear any of it. No heavy astra and Skye usage is also baffling. No wonder Jett OP is dominating EU valorant when no one is running Astra

Yeah i was just gonna say that. EU is about to get a rude awakening with these comps and strats

FNS will IGL diff all these trash EU teams, trust

lmfao Acend vs Gambit looks like a noob match. Imagine letting a sage with no dimiss or dash get a 3k with no one getting a trade. EU is lighyears behind NA. COPE

Got diffed by a Sage dfkm

V1 vs TL when eu realized they suck

Both are abysmal at T side

If you watch 100T, Sentinels, Envy, etc. they default, run fakes, and have really good set plays when they wanna take a site. Gambit and Acend look less coordinated than my ranked teammates

All they do is "Go A, Go B". What is this lmao? They keep 5 manning sites and losing T sides with 0 creativity on executes

Wtf are these comps? They look like months behind the meta with agent choices + the executes on site. Gambit is running double sentinel + 1 initiator on Ascent! 5 manning sites and not fighting for mid control

If europe keeps playing like this in Berlin then they're in for a rude awakening

1. Sen
2. 100T
3. NV
4. some eu trash

steel

Also could explain why his personal performance suffered in games against SEN recently. He was focusing too much on calling and distracted him from his game. I guess that will improve with experience

Watching the voice comms from Faze game he seems to be calling shots and utility more than even Steel mid round. Didn't expect in a team with Steel, Nitr0 and Hiko for Asuna to be calling strats so much

as a fairly high elo player (bronze 3) some of the mistakes I’m seeing are quite rudimentary and frankly infuriating. first off, they're using their utility far too late into the round and it’s costing them a lot of space. I’d coach them on discord but my match just popped, so good luck.

because the match doesn't matter? they're just running like it's a pug match

All of those teams apart from NV aren't top tier

Against dogshit teams, TSM will never get anywhere playing like that against a half decent teams. They're getting shit on right by rise of all teams

FK does't matter if it is to equal the round to a 4v4 instead of 5v4. His first engagement is usually so delayed compared to the rest of his team

They're literally the only team that buy the OP so much on T side and they get shit on by any half decent team that knows how to play around an OP.

Doesn't take a genius to deduce his playstyle is not meta and obviously not working

Yeah, if he wants to op so much then put him on a cypher and let someone else play jett to dash in

Thats what I have been saying since yesterday but TSM fans keep attacking me. That whole B quick plant works with the jett going in to plant and dashing out not other agents. Wardell is just the biggest baiter

I dont get it! Why does't buying an OP, baiting your support agents and waiting for enemy to peek you work against decent teams?

Watching TSM t side is so cringe. Imagine having one of the best entry agents in your team but not smoke and dashing into sites. Sure Wardell has a good FK/FD ratio but stats are meaningless if they cant get into the site against any decent team

Steel mentioned he doesn't like being a lurker. He said in CS he was a lot more aggressive on entries and likes to go back to playing like that. He won't be first rifle on site but with Sova he can stick with the team while Hiko does his baiting play style and watches flanks

Asuna said they tried that in scrims at some point but abandoned it. Would make sense to put Hiko on full time Sentinel/Viper given his play style tbh

He is good at isolating 1v1s in late rounds but he has almost no impact in early to mid round

Yeah his entries were predictable and then everyone expected the sage wall boost + omen TP.

Like those comps and plays are even predictable in ranked gameplay nevertheless tier 1 matches.

On top of that their KJ solo hold of B and Sova playing mid is kinda dated too. Most teams seem to be holding B with Sova on odin and have their sentinel play A

Perhaps. Just couldn't help but notice how little value Asuna seemed to get out of the curve balls, the molly and wall compared to the jett dash or reyna dismiss

First map was close. They whiffed so much and lost so not too concerning but second map they got comp diffed.

Phoenix is just a shittier Skye and Sage off angle wall boosts are too predictable now. Asuna's play style needs either a movement agent that can satchel/dash into sites or one that can get an entry kill and dismiss out.

IMO Asuna needs to play Jett/Reyna on ascent and then put Ethan on Skye

just like what TSM had to do against Noble?

How can XSET possibly compete?

Yeah smurfs went from ruining my bronze ranked games to ruining tier 1 pro games

Because they are so uncivilized. They get aggressive and start barking and kicking when u point out the obvious

Smurf Reyna farming XSET rn. When will Riot stop this?

how do you put flairs?

no one cares lol

People overreacting. XSET won because of how much 100T whiffed. XSET got outplayed, they just hit their shots better. Once 100T boomers warm up, its ggs

Sure but when u compare to his Omen, he is so much more impactful on Omen

Seems like such a waste of his game sense to put him on Viper. Hiko should either play Viper or Ethan

He should stick to Omen on every map. Such a waste to have Ethan as the lurker omen on Icebox when Nitr0 is so much better at it. Point in case this Haven vs XSET

100T was always good on Haven attack but they used to suck on defence. Now with Asuna on Jett OP on defence, it seems to have fixed their CT side. They used to take like 2 defensive rounds against decent teams

Match fixing again lmfao

Marved back to match fixing again with that defuse lmao. Call FBI

Its getting ridiculous. Smurf Reyna dropped 50 in a single match on V1 yesterday

Give it one stalling ability (i.e. slow orbs or molly), one info gathering one (i.e. alarmbot) and a dash. Can take a risky peek when getting pushed then dash out to safety
