americas only decent match so far has been nrg vs c9 and it looked like a mid table clash

bro this kru team is playing like koi/zeta level valorant lets calm down

t1 didnt look that good bro,for the hype they were getting they look like a pretty mediocre team,NS can easily beat them

honestly great showing from both teams i was surprised how much higher kc ceiling is

less kinda underwhelming in the last 2 maps ngl

u are absolutely braindead bro

kicks is the igl i think he was in ardiis stream and they said kicks is the igl

he could literally call giantx,liquid,koi,apeks and replace a player instantly

what did we see from him last year,he was literally looking good for navi but the whole team was just dogshit,at the start he was one of their best players by far but they just got dominated 2nd split

yea thats why im saying it depends when u start ur career,there are pros who bloomed late and also started late but not too many who can keep going at their best level after like 27

im not saying everyone just turns to shit at that age but its when most players usually start regress,not everyone ofcourse
at 30 u cant find many great players who arent igl and when u get past 25 ur just getting closer to that 30 every year

sociablee started his career at 24 thats pretty old for esports standards,im talking about players who have played since like 16-20

"first stage game" gimmick for icy 😌

im not bandwagoning any team lol,im just stating facts

u can go look at any active pro who played from a young age and u will see that like 90% start to get washed up at around 25-27 mechanically

i only saw good stuff about 60% of map 1

yay has just regressed mechanically hes already like 27 u can see his aim isnt sharp like that anymore

apart from koi vs liquid and maybe apeks how are u guys saying these teams look much better its been 1 map

both of these teams are shaky af pls stop hyping this up as "good valorant" lmao

both of them would be in a dogfight vs navi,kc,m8

Na did a streak like this first btw

lmaooo

doesn't mean much more than pure speculation but if u wanna do that go for it,ur showing u havent watched this game by putting so much weight on things like scrims and small off season tourney lol

congrats u can find plenty of teams who have "stomped" top teams in scrims and it doesnt translate that literally doesnt mean shit ur absolutely clueless if u think it does,dfm winning against edg who legit trolled all off season events and prx who were playing braindead in the start doesnt mean as much as u think it does lol

lmfaooo so dfm can compete internationally cause they had a random off season event of their lives against a out of form edg and prx,gentle mates won a bo3 against heretics too i guess that means they can also compete with champs teams lol,and pls ur really justifying nongshim cause they are good in scrims lol,they were 1 round away from losing ascension to boom and i swear if u say they are a competitive team i will just end this discussion

absolutely not lmao,i can say kc and navi will do well internationally too

"dfm and nongshim" bro cmon

yea but apac isnt the "better overall region" im saying this extremely clear,apac is not a more competitive region than emea currently,they have like 3/4 teams that should be good internationally,just like emea

yes?????? It means that theres no argument that outside the top 3 apac has any stronger teams than emea,the majority of apac isnt stronger than the majority of emea lol

im talking about this year rrq,zeta,boom,ge,secret,dfm,talon,drx arent better than emea outside top 4 teams lol

because the thread was about emea being the worst region in valorant,and we all know americas is probably the most competitive so its really between apac,emea and china

u have clear bias if u actually believe apac teams apart from the the top 3 are any better than emea lol

apac has like 3 teams who should be elite this year (t1,gen g and prx) and everyone else is a total question mark just like in emea

apac isnt better lol

disappointing they dont look good at all

what teams are saying that rn

or u can do something else? Desperate bait attempt brother

nah not anymore apparently

he has already signed a contract in a vct team but as cc/sub

im already arguing with a wall but its just a fact,if ur counting 1 event to declare him the best player of the year ur delusional lmao,he was doing nothing special in tokyo or americas
literally 1 event made his entire year,alfajer had to play with a washed up fnatic and almost had the same stats as champs mvp demon1 lmao

yea but alfajer had a better and more consistent year performance wise so wtf are u saying,demon1 wasnt even a top 5 rated player in any events expect champs

based on pure performance it was actually alfajer by a large margin and then demon1

bro i know he is russian i just corrected that he has lived his whole life in finland not "most"

just like him being russian means nothing lol,at the end of the day this whole "claiming" players is so stupid and meaningless i dont wanna waste my time on it, ethno nationalism is a very hollow concept

he lived in finland his whole life

i wouldnt say he was garbage in 2024

france,spain and turkey are like the only countries that care about valorant in emea like that,and the reason theres so many orgs with fans in those countries is because they are like passion projects for content creators like koi,kc,m8,bbl etc

insurance companies are literally only concerned about making money ofc they dont actually wanna help people

the award show started like year i think
