maybe navi should have tried a bit more against giants...

FUT below EDG, TL, and NRG (these three are interchangeable tbh). Loud I think will return stronger in champs but its hard to place them. DRX might be too high but again, maybe they cooked something up for champions.

they better change the ending if they release new seasons, otherwise I'm throwing hands.

I think aside from the ending, this is a pretty solid story.

I mean in eSports, its kinda old.

TSM >

Its not really a hot or cold take. It would be a hot take if he said FNATIC got grouped though. FNATIC are clear favorites but saying that they don't win isn't really a hot take tbh, especially since PRX might have been able to deal a blow against FNATIC if they had something.

People call it a 'fake tourney' because not only was it single elimination, but a lot of teams were too fresh and haven't really tried any comps yet. It was a free for all basically with no real discipline other than fundamentals. A game like valorant is really reliant on strategy and Lock//In didn't have that to the same degree as 2022's events.

Though, people denying FNC are fools. They are the real deal by all means. The tournament being a little less competitive? Understandable, but it doesn't take anything away from FNC.

They are the most consistent core, which is great, but they weren't really consistently winning big (though, who is anyways other than FNC atm). Honestly, I have more faith in the FNATIC core surpassing everything the NV core had.

If marved is willing to stay, why drop him?

Asuna and TenZ would have conflicting roles, and I'm not too sure how adaptable either of them are if they were to switch off of a flex role. Also, you generally don't want a sentinel igling so this doesnt really work (and if he doesn't play sentinel, who will?).

This doesn't make sense on many levels, and it has less to do with TenZ being good or bad, and more of whether or not he fits onto a roster like this.

209 pb for 10 words. I think I can peak far higher depending on the setup and keyboard tbh

The last time TenZ was really dominant on awp was either Iceland (even then, shahzam was better than him) or on c9

is this like, comparing how dominant they were during their respective peaks? Cause if so, this isn't that bad tbh.

Did something big happen tho? I only remember west jett from like the ignition days where he posted skins and shit on yt

Zacharee and Rawkus weren't too great imo

what happened to west jett?

I mean, you guys can defend yay all you want for his performance, but throwing his teammates under the bus in such a weirdly subtle but obvious way just isn't right in my opinion.

technically, 中國 (which means China) hard translates to "country of the center" or "country at the center of the world". So if you want to use some twisted logic, I guess you could extend that in whatever direction you want it to

Don't think Loud was trolling but I think there was a strong chance they weren't playing at full potential. On ascent, they did play jett and got absolutely folded. Their neon comps were ran during playoffs. Hard to say how they will do at champs to be totally honest.

How tf are you putting DRX above EDG and NRG above both EG and Loud?

Navi clears drx right now unless DRX completely stop playing this 6 man roster that is screwing up their synergy.

If Riot is fine with the current 'social' and management 'issues' with TSM, then yeah, there is nothing really wrong with TSM financially like there is with Optic I would think.

how is that any different compared to other regions?

People can say what they want about his mechanical skills, but you cannot deny his IGLing ability. Plus, are we really going to say FNS or Saadhak are really that much better than Boaster (if at all) on an individual level? Like hands down, Boaster is the best IGL in the world right now imo.

Idk why people like Boostio start talking shit after getting a lick of success. Im happy for EG but you guys were in the trenches like a month and a half ago.

It is a twitch vod. Skip to the EDG vs TL game.

I mean TL LOL my bad. They dismantled T1, that one you should only watch if you just want to see EDG shit on people.

Watch seangares's analysis on them vs T1 during Haven or something. It should give you a decent idea of how good their strats are. In general, they play very well and have good strategies but it definitely can / needs to be polished.

this man has been underrated since the game began basically (with dig and then rise), but whenever he got his chance at a big org, the team just fails and he has to pick up the pieces.

If it was during Tokyo, I think NRG would get 2-0ed (close maps) by EDG. It's a playstyle diff really. Hard to say whether or not champs would be like that. IMO, NRG just looked terrible during Tokyo.

what happened to chuppappiwardell?

Actually, Sinatraa played one of TenZ's roles. He frequented Raze and Phoenix on maps like Bind, split, and haven. He was a star player for his ability to flex any agent. All TenZ did was force shahzam to play more sova on maps that Sinatraa played sova.

opac should be one dude. NA fears opac

• 20-30% for PRX is enough to push them into a level of contention against FNATIC potentially.
• T1 is good, but Tokyo showed that there were better teams in the world.
• EG is a team that would be hard to anti-strat but should have a relatively more difficult time in the future (still a top 3 team in the world).
• DRX take is not exactly unlikely but they clearly need to fix up some chemistry issues. NAVI is definitely not finished.
• EDG definitely did not have a fluke run, but their run at champions will be much more difficult. Although, if they start to develop more strategies, it will smoothen out their run at champions.

Happy Birthday!

It was great when Valorant "rivalries" was more than just 'NA vs EU' and it was Sentinels vs TSM.

Don't drop it dude lmfao. Whether its AB or BC, the minimum score to get a 5 is relatively low, so its not that hard to pass it. Many of the concepts taught in AB and BC can be self taught in like a week, provided you spend that week in the books completely.

Asia can rest easy when they know they got players like Kang Kang and Jinggg. Those guys are bound to pull a win probably...hopefully...

No, 2 is not the same as 1. If anything, multivariable is more similar to calc 1 whereas calc 2 is more of its own thing. Unless you're an engineer, math major, or even a cs algorithms major, you probably won't see the applications of series (beyond just calculations) until an ordinary or partial differential equations class with fourier transforms.

I tried sticking with TSM to the end, but I guess EDG got my eyes now. Kang Kang is the future and the upgraded Wardell that will carry EDG to victory.

It wasn't just throwing an 11-4 lead, I felt like that could have been a 12-4 or even 13-4 game had they played defense a little less cocky.

PRX vs EDG pissed me off, not only because EDG lost, but because it seemed like EDG threw so many winnable rounds and looked terrible as a team compared to previous series. Perhaps PRX just completely diffed them in terms of playstyle, but that was not fun to watch, whereas TL vs EDG seemed much more structured.

I mean, his dog full cleared site, I think checking for a heaven push at that moment would make sense.

Damn, I was sort of wrong about this matchup. Had TL not thrown on haven, this would have been their victory.

LMAO same, not only because I am now an EDG fan, but I genuinely think TL outclasses NRG by a decent margin here. Say what you want about TL on haven, that one round throw imo changed a lot.

He suffered a hand injury a while back from fencing. Though, I think its a lot better now.

I still don't understand why people rate NRG so highly. Their group stage performance wasn't great, they got destroyed by FNC (to be fair, any team would have been destroyed), and beat a DRX which hasn't looked as weak as they have ever (A PRX with a 6th man who only practiced with them for 10 days, beat DRX).

I think TL and EDG clear NRG, unless chet and FNS could up something that blasts their opponents away.

I remember the days when people only memed on her on this site

EDG should clear PRX right now and it's not really PRX's fault. It won't be a huge disappointment to lose to a team that has beaten household names so far, especially if PRX aren't even at their best currently.
