Average Cned fan not being able to read a simple paragraph.
The one time Yay and Cned faced, Cned went negative to Yay.
NA used chamber the best out of every region. Everything last year was based around chamber, even Franchising in NA was built around still having a "chamber" rather than a duelist. It's hard to expect teams and players to readapt after a full year of using a specific character. We talk about how Yay is a "Chamber Abuser" when it's literally the same with Derke on Jett. Derke is a more aggressive player and Op-er than Yay is, thus he's built way better for playing a Jett role. Is Derke a Jett abuser though? No, the agent just compliments how he plays. Is Mako an Omen abuser? No, the agent just compliments how he plays. Chamber compliments how guys like Cryo and Yay would play. Look at Leaf. Leaf on Chamber isn't half of what he is on Jett, because he excels with those aggressive plays.
TL;DR. Chamber compliments Yay and Cryo just like Jett compliments Derke, Aspas, or Leaf. It's a matter of perspective, it's a matter of playstyle, it's a matter of meta. Comparing a game that nerfs whatever is good after a year to itself is like comparing Minecraft to Terraria.
It's based a lot more about volume than by the actual players and competition (even though you get more points for facing better teams I believe).
Watching Marved play really made me realize that he's WAY more than what he's given credit for. People talk about his lurks, but I have yet to really see anyone in the same tier as him. It's passed what an IGL can call, it passed what a team can possitionally set up. Marved has such a next-level handle on the game that his lurks can't be compared to a different player. If anyone other than aspas is S+++, it's him. Marved IS him.
I think whoever wins from C9 and (NEW) Sen will likely challenge Furia for a 2rd slot, or potentially Levi with how they've shown holes sometimes. I wouldn't count NA out now, but I wouldn't put them as favourites.
Total Drama Island or Johney Test, both were elite.
Foxy9 has brought so much firepower, but LIKE ALWAYS it'll be up to whether or not Rb continues his regional form at lan.
If KC had Enzo, they actually might have been a borderline masters qualifier level team. Enzo is just a better Ze1sh, that would have been enough to make this squad decent. I hate to admit it, but KC without Newzera isn't that bad.
No brazilian valorant player has ever made a mistake, except for sacy and pancada who left brazil.
Good luck, do your best and don't let shit get to you.
trust, he's cooking (APAC has literally one other guy here, let em have something)
Pearl is both my least favorite map, mechanically, but is also by far my worst map statistically. Absolute dogshit creation. Lotus is chill, I'm good on lotus. Pearl needs a rework for casual and competitive players, even for pro's it's a single fucking strat every round.
It should just generally be France. I've lived a fair few years and have only had negative interactions with French people.
At this point, Sen have to worry about being ready for champs/LCQ instead of getting to tokyo. They have to go into LCQ with a complete team and not any more of this testing that they are doing literally every week.
It is such a fast 2-0 that sonic is scared.
They pass a teddy bear to eachother to decide who can speak
Like, Deph just miscalled another round that baited them into (what became) a stack. Until Marved and his lurks too control on Pearl, Deph called into a stack at least twice. I don't think he's worth it.
PRX don't need an IGL. Sen don't need an IGL.
This is a genuine statement. Who the fuck needs an IGL that is just going to underperform for the team. At a certain point you realize, these are pro players. They see the game as good as the next guy. Why not just do what PRX is doing and play without a true IGL? Is the upside of Deph equal to running a Marved, Tenz, Zekken, Sacy, Pancada lineup? Can a team of pro's that is THIS experienced not plan a round themselves? Val is not CS, there is so much more positional value between players. They could legit run zero IGL and I think it's work better.
Just give mwzera 5 PC's and he 13-0's your favorite team.
I've been saying for a longtime that it's not worth having a single player on your roster that is a European to the left of Germany. Just field nordic boys, and them CIS homies. IDK where to mention the Turks but they are also very good.
NA controllers are better than other regions controller players by a definitive margin. NA duelists are on the same level as other regions. Leaf is a monster, but he is more of an anomaly rather than the standard.
True NA solution: Pick up a full team of controllers and run Viper, Astra, Omen, Brimstone, Harbor on every map. The only thing NA has is Elite controllers, so I think this might work.
I'm never gonna cheer for C9 because I thought the move was initially braindead, but they have fixed every problem I had with C9. I can fully respect those two, they've done great for themselves. Jakee is proving even further than the only thing NA will ever have is elite controllers.
A map win is a win, I'm not borderline suicidal anymore.
Kill/joy
There is no joy in life.
I'ma fuckin' kill myself.
Yeah, it's roles. Deph should not have been on initiator, that's the main problem. I do think though, Tenz shouldn't play on double smokes maps, they limit duelists - especially Opers - too much for it to be worth it. But still, the main problem has always been reducing Sacy's role. It also helps that that map was the best Pancada has looked. They trusted him so much more than before.
SACY BACK ON THE INITIATOR BABY DAPH ON THE CONTROLLER THANK GOD BRO SEN ISN'T TROLLING THEIR COMP ANYMORE
5 1/2 hours until we only have to wait 16 hours for the game of the year between Gen.G and DRX. Every hour makes me more excited to see it.
Are there any other brothers? I have no clue.
Edit: There are more than I thought
In almost every ascension league the top teams in Split 1 have ended up looking closer to the pack in split 2. I wasn't surprised that G2 lost honestly.
Sen vs Loud has the most possivble upside.
Plus, there is a solid chance that you'll end up sleeping while you watch Navi vs KC because of how fucking slow they'll move.
Nothing, and I mean nothing, will affect these guys like the platchat ranking. If they lose and get placed lower, then we might have to give them a week off for a mental health break. AT MINIMUM we'd need to give them a suicide watch. Platchat means a lot to them bro.
They added mwzera and started to succeed. Coincidence? I think not.
If Sentinels win it should be more of a question of "Should Sacy still be on smokes after this" than "Is Tenz the problem". From this new coach, it seems much more likely for the team to look to switch it up, and to finally force Deph to play a less comfortable role. I am not mad that Pancada is playing Killjoy, he's an insane player. Pancada has the ability to morph into what Less is for Loud. Pancada on that role makes sense. Sacy on smokes doesn't make sense, he's a player that should be activated not deph. Deph doesn't need to lurk on smokes, Pancada can handle that. Deph can still set up the team in a controller role. With how Sacy plays, he should have the initiator utility to potentially frag.
I'm just gonna copy -> paste this in every sen discussion.
I'm posting something here so I can come back and see exactly what this guy is asking. I watched like one game of TOGS, and now that I'm looking at the bracket this shit is wild compared to last split. There have been multiple 13-0's? When all but one team has 2 wins and 1 or more loses? WTF is this league?
Godamn, maybe KC gets 10 round over two maps this week
1 Foxy9, 5 PC's
Unbeatable squad right there
Had to get Zekrow out of there so he could take his rightful place at the bottom of the board.
Generationally quick and swift 2-0 by Navi
That should be the point of the character. Give him his trips and he's useful as a sentinel, which makes him too much better. If he can only cover 1 close choke and hold another, then that's fair. His ult is an OP. He has an instant TP that gives him enough space to get another OP shot off. He has a quick pull pistol in case he misses. He should be the OP character. There is also no economy charecter, so making him bolster the economy gives him enough extra use that teams that want an OPer and not a sentinel, can do as such.
100% of his teams kills against LOUD. ABSOLUTE GOAT BEHAVIOUR.
Update: Nevermind
I think the best way to make him good again is to keep him as a relatively bad sentinel.
I would make him a kind of new character, a unique passive. What is Chamber? A rich French gun businessman.
The best way to buff chamber is to give an extra $100 per round for the whole team, after pistol round. Makes it easier to afford OP, gives him a passive use to the team since he's already very selfish. He is strictly an OP-er, nothing more and nothing less. For Ranked, chamber just becomes a lurker with an OP at basically every opportunity. In competitive, teams trying to force a KJ can go back to a Chamber as a semi-substitute but not as a pure replacement. I think this approach works better than improving his ability to OP.
