1. Heretics : minipoo and poo zero personality
2. SEN : same old shit
3. Giantd - i just needed a third honestly but giants does not hv aura

EDG choked abyss + i dont think NRG will win against DRX/liquid

Americas is done 💀
Legit, we keep yapping about being the best region early this year. Our talents get imported into EMEA and APAC. And now we might be the worse region in the world

Save us G2

Good in map 1, had a lot of crucial trades

Map 2, underperformed (not really) but mostly cause T1 kept hitting A and he was solo holding B. Meaning he had to play retake all of defense and couldn’t really do anything

You can make that argument for TH, FNC or Liquid honestly

But we can agree that Giants is the real fourth seed

Which makes SEN loss more embarrassing 😭

Based off head to head i believe

Pacific fourth seed (who qualified off POINTS) just beat EMEA first seed

What?

I agree ✋

I genuinely cant think of anyone but soaz, gmd. Ion and nightz arent legal till 2027

I vote we make it a Nats_2nd_biggest_fan hate thread instead ✋

Facts:

• sen: 0 rookies
• c9 : 1 rookie in vic(say hello to mitch again gor the 9th tike)
• 100t: kess but that was late
• eg: i know all these players pre and post franchising

Only NRG has done some considerable chance

Idk man all the other good smoke players are too young 😭

Has good vibes + better aim + sen propaganda material

They lost to a bunch of t2 players, shit cant get worse than this

N4rrate has these omniscient, godly game sense rounds where he pulls something out of ass to win and sometimes he just throws the worst util and fuck zekken up

Gmd/reduxx on controller
Mental support coach for n4rrate
Zekken on duelist
Johnqt on sent
[keep one slot open to continuously rotate this player out like liquid did till you find the right one]

Yeah, their retake plays was fucking disgusting, especially on sunset and split.

This SEN is just temu G2

Tenz was insane on support + taking fights. He had a pretty good assist statline

He was better before. It’s clear he lost interest in the pro scene

Fuck you right

A non passive controller (not aggressive, just need to entry or take some risk and not anchor 90% of the time like f0rsaken, chichoo, i forgot sylvans playstyle)
and
A calm initiator (crashies, patmen, stax fights a lot but he’s always the last one alive).

Sen has the opposite, an initiator that gets ragebaited too easily and a controller that baits his star player

How many times do you think the s0n players hear “you guys can be in the best if you just believe in yourself” before they start losing faith.

1. Tenz leaving SEN
2. Buzz tweaking on Sylvan
3. Tarik’s fake reactions

🗿🗿🗿

They didnt try to though. They stopped playing a retake heavy playstyle this year. Johnqt got on init

Yh they did, just that people won’t remember it as much because the competition in NA is genuinely lesser now compred to last year

Tough love is expressing affection or care for someone by being stern, harsh, or demanding to promote their long-term well-being, growth, and responsible behavior.

Kaplan: Noooo guys ur playing like shit, but you’re so much better i know you can >_<

Aleks: stop peeking like a moron and just play the game

A

They need people whos willing to fight and not just anchor site 90% of the time and not get info at all

Just call them out for playing like shit man. Legit one of the most uncreative, uninspired, no style no substance no personality map of sunset from SEN ive ever witnessed

That’s what you get for playing passive 90% of the time. I just need this guy to have the balls to fight or fight for info or anything really.

Stop late rotating. If you’re gonna play retake (LIKE YOU’RE AT), maybe don’t anchor site with 3 people whole the other two are fucking away

Just push for info gdi

I’m here

Revisionist history, bang is their second weakest okayer bro

Stop with this pack calling ur not g2. Just peek gdi

Problems for 3 years? Wow that’s just insane.

I did based it on actions, which is proven by how they handled their valorant team, both in content and in competition. They handled it like shit compared to the rest of the orgs.

Idk why ur denying they did nothing and were shit for 3 years straight and thinking 2 weeks of hard work makes up for doing nothing for 3 years 🤣🤣

Well I know who worked harder cause they said so themselves:
"2026 is going to be the first year in the history of KOI Valorant that we are going to do the roster we want. If 2026 is a failure, is our fault"

So if we used your two brain cells together, we can infer that they haven’t been working hard / caring about val for the past 3 years. It’s not about only the roster, but it’s the orgs attitude in terms of content and contractual promise to Riot

So let me ask you this, do you think they’ve worked harder than the other EMEA orgs?

Yh i was there drinking with Ibai telling him his team is ass in ibiza.

I’d rather support an org that’s worked hard for years or at least put in an effort than an org that said “we’ve worked hard for 2 weeks but it’s not our fault we’ve been lazy for 3 years”

Did you just get fired or something? Bros more mad than the Koi ceo

At this point, don’t go to blr. Go to r/antiwork or something

They worked hard for 2 weeks fam it’s not that much 🤷

Hardwork and it’s like 2 weeks worth of just trialing. They don’t even have a full roster. maybe ibai and koi should have worked harder since 2023. It’s like you expecting not to be fired when you worked hard for a week but you’ve been lazy and not performing at your job for years

Say some buttfuck random T2 trialed demon1, yay, kangkang do they deserve to be in Franchising?

Other orgs have worked harder, GE, DFM hell even 2G.

What a lame ass excuse

bro seriously?
What happened to their 2023, 2024, 2025 roster. Were they simply not trying?

First warning wasn’t 2025 January, they were warned throughout 2024 they weren’t meeting contractual obligations. Last warning wasn’t January. Then they thought they made it up with Sergio but they wanted Ibai to stream. It’s not always about numbers but influence and Ibai would convert more people to Val.

They were working on 2026 bundle, but when is this really? Last month? Two months ago? Maybe last week? Who knows man. Clearly VCT management and the skin team is different. It’s like work, your team members might expect you next week but you get fired the day after. But of course you wouldn’t know anything about it

Clearly you are stupid lol

They got warnings throughout 2024, their latest warning was 2025 Jan. Stop playing dumb

Rather they kick them out after their VCT season ends immediately then waste their time

They signed Koi literally only for Ibai to stream. And when Ibai doesn’t stream and replaced himself with Sergio, Riot deservedly removed them. They’ve been warned multiple times with the latest warning this January.

Whats the points of warnings if Koi doesn’t do anything. Might as well get a better, more invested org in 🤷. No one to blame but themselves

Why is India/FNC such a popular combo 🤔

I’m sorry you’re worth more than that 🫶

You’re not even worth 20 bucks buddy

Caring more about val rn than he’s ever did in the past 3 years. You barely gave a shit about val and didnt stream and now there’s consequences for your actions 😭

What a spoiled brat lmao, thinking you deserve franchising but not putting in the work at all

And then let the non academy - runner up buy them out or something 🤷‍♀️

Or if an ascended team gets relegated completely. Academy teams can fight for the org again

Keiko’s aim just so fucking clean.
