Funny how you’re crying about substance when your whole argument’s been running on fumes. Don’t expect a feast when you brought crumbs to the table.

Really good

Facts, these guys are absolutely cracked! Their gameplay is on another level

We’re witnessing the rise of the next wave of Valorant prodigies, and I’m calling it now (Nightz, Ion, Canzerra, Reduxx & more) these guys are gonna run the scene when they turn 18.
These kids are already terrorizing ranked, popping off in Tier 2, and showing mechanics and game sense way beyond their years. Just imagine what they’ll do once they’re eligible for VCT.
Anyone else keeping an eye on them? Who’s your pick to be the breakout star once this group turns 18?

Let the GOAT debate begin 🐐

Hahahahaha😂

C Tier: The Struggle Bus Crew

Vitality: Once kings, now just trying to find their groove.

Fnatic: Still with that legendary name, but where’s the spark?

Heretics: They’re feeling the heat—big shoes to fill.

Liquid: A powerhouse in their own right, but not quite making waves this stage.

FUT: They’ve got promise, but it’s still a work in progress.

KCorp: Too many expectations, not enough execution.

Gentlemates: They’ve got the style but need that killer instinct.

BBL: Pushing hard, but that next-level magic isn’t quite there yet.

Navi: Once untouchable, now struggling to make a mark.

Giants: More like "sleeping giants"—they’re not showing their true potential.

Apeks: They’ve got the heart, but can’t seem to get the momentum.

KOI: Cute but ferocious? They need that extra push to rise above.

I did it! I won! Hahah, this feels amazing! All the hard work, the effort, the focus – it paid off! I can't believe I pulled it off! Feels like all the stars aligned just for me! I'm on top of the world right now, can't stop laughing with excitement. This victory is mine, and I’m going to savor every single second of it!

You out here calling me 'ape brain' while confidently spewing nonsense like Türkiye isn’t EMEA? Riot made that decision, not me—so unless you’re secretly running their regional structure from your mom’s basement, sit this one out. You’re loud, wrong, and embarrassing. GG.

Thank you for actually being smart with your take, fr. I don’t watch EMEA that much so I won’t act like I know everything but let’s be honest, EMEA Tier 1 hasn’t really won anything major in like two years. No disrespect, the region has some insane players coming up for sure.

But saying 'no team in global T2 beats BBL PCIFIC' is just cap. We’d only really know if there was an actual NA T2 vs EMEA T2 tourney.
I think it’d be close, but personally, I’d give NA the edge feels like we have more solid teams than weak ones right now. But hey, I could be wrong, just how I see it.

Ah, got it. So you’re just saying things with zero substance. Thanks for the heads-up.

Türkiye is in EMEA, my guy. Go argue with Riot if you’ve got beef with reality.

Can you tell me more about Kovaq? I don’t know much about him.

Totally agree, Timotino is insane. Dude's been showing some serious talent.

EnesVlr are you ok

I know right 😭

True, but let’s not forget that top EMEA Tier 2 teams lost to Apeks last year as well

Thanks for laying that out solid argument, man. I totally agree that Comeback, Loita, and Larok being one map off Tier 1 at just 16 is wild, and while CrewEn's 20-year-old status might put him outside the "rising star" bracket, dropping a 1.40 KD against top EMEA T2 teams is undeniably impressive.

I don't keep up as much with the EMEA T2 scene, so I really appreciate the insight. Your thoughtful take definitely beats some of those EnesVLR replys

Not too familiar with DN is he solid

If you genuinely think they’re all bad, then at least back it up with a solid argument. Just saying they suck without any reasoning doesn’t hold weight so let’s hear your take and what you're basing it on.

Xiesta is also an incredibly talented player who deserves recognition

Classic EMEA fan just 0 IQ ( Intelligence Quotient) if you dont know IQ means 0/10 ragebait

I think all of these players show great promise for Tier 2: Loita, Comeback, Crewen, Skuba, Sato, Pa1nt, Infiltrator, Sym, Vora, Recoil, Timotino, Kaoiticc, Sacred, Nightz, Ion, Canzerra, and Reduxx and so on. They're all players to watch closely in the future.

Honestly, when you consider both consistency and individual skill, Nightz, Ion, Canzerra, and Reduxx clearly stand out. However, Loita, Comeback, Crewen, and Larok are all exceptional players as well. If you believe they have the edge, feel free to make a stronger argument to back up your point.

No doubt, Comeback, Lar0k, GSR, and Saynara bring insane plays to the table they're elite for a reason.

Look, I’m not denying Loita, Comeback, Crewen, and Larok have some epic plays. But this thread isn’t about who’s better right now we’re talking about the new wave ready to flip the scene.

Nightz, Ion, Canzerra, and Reduxx are tearing it up in Tier 2, proving that raw, untapped talent can dismantle even the best established teams. While the pros have their moments, these prodigies are the future in NA.

The argument isn’t about who’s better right now it’s about who’s rewriting the rulebook when they turn 18. Trust the hype the future is already looking dangerous.

"BCF 2-0s any Americas prod team"? Seriously?
EMEA hasn't claimed a VCT championship since 2023, and while BCF is solid, Challengers NA is producing seriously cracked talent.

To say that "any" prodigy team from the Americas gets 2-0’d is a stretch. Maybe you missed Nightz, Ion, Canzerra, and Reduxx absolutely dominating in Tier 2.

Let's be real the top NA Tier 2 teams are simply destroying the top EMEA tier 2 teams.

People are way too quick to flame tdawg just because he’s not dropping 30 every match. But let’s be real not every IGL is meant to be a fragging demon. His value comes from his brain, not just his aim.

He’s got a solid mind for the game, reads situations well, and consistently sets his team up to succeed. That kind of structure and discipline is exactly what Tier 2 teams need if they’re trying to break through.

And let’s not act like his aim is some liability — I’ve seen FNS and deph have worse mechanical performances, and they’ve both played at the highest level. TDawgg is doing his job, and just because he’s not in Tier 1 yet doesn’t mean he’s not Tier 1 material.

Tired of seeing good IGLs get flamed just because they’re not highlight reel players. Respect the role

People are way too quick to flame tdawg. Yeah, he’s not out here dropping 30 bombs every match, but not every IGL needs to be a top fragger. He’s got a solid mind for the game, sets his team up well, and honestly, his aim isn’t even that bad FNS and deph have looked worse in that department. He’s doing his job, and that gets overlooked way too often.

Honestly, screw it just promote the whole Cubert Academy team to the main roster at this point.

Yeah, but I did like him on Senti because that role really teaches you patience and helps you play a lot smarter, which is super important if you want to be ready for Tier 1. That said, I don’t really mind him on duelist either it’s a different style

Is the goat need I say more

How do we feel about them. Im a big fan of the new comp that old spilt comp was bad and we get to see a bit of Nightz duelist which is fun and i like the viper too
and guys Reduxx is not replacing bang chill( Big nightz Fan)

Nightz was a yoru main i just think this is for roles on cubert beacuse reduxx didnt look that good on yoru (bang is not getting replace chill)

Maybe i should put GE lower too

I think the Sentinel role is a great fit for him. It not only suits his playstyle but also gives him the opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of the game. Sentinel players need to have strong positioning, awareness, and game sense, all of which are crucial at the highest level of play. With two years to practice and refine his skills, he has plenty of time to transition into a Tier 1-caliber player.

When it comes to the difference between Tier 2 and Tier 1, I believe the mechanical gap isn’t as big as people make it out to be. Many Tier 2 players have incredible aim and reaction speed, often matching or even surpassing some Tier 1 players in raw mechanics. However, the biggest difference lies in how they approach the game. Tier 1 players think about the game in a much more structured and disciplined way. They have a deeper understanding of strategy, team coordination, and decision-making, which ultimately separates them from the rest.

Take Canezerra and Nightz, for example. Canezerra is clearly the more mechanically skilled player, but mechanics alone don’t guarantee success at the highest level. Decision-making, adaptability, and understanding how to play within a team structure are just as if not more important.

So the real question is: after two years, who will be the better player? The one who continues to play recklessly, making the same mistakes and not evolving? Or the one who dedicates himself to relearning the game, adapting to Tier 1 standards, and refining his playstyle to match the highest level of competition? I believe the latter will always have the edge in the long run.

I think the Sentinel role is a great fit for him. It will help him develop a deeper understanding of the game, and with two years to practice, he has plenty of time to refine his play to a Tier 1 level.

Mechanically, I believe the gap between Tier 2 and Tier 1 isn't that significant, but the way players think about the game is completely different at a Tier
1 lvl. Canezerra is mechanically superior to Nightz, but decision-making and game sense matter just as much at the highest level.

So after two years, who will be the better player? The one running it down and playing recklessly, or the one taking the time to relearn the game and adapt to Tier 1 standards?

Thanks

Nightz
