fair enough, i obviously dont know him personaly, so maybe he did change, and if so, good for him

im just not a big fan of the "he was 16, so all should be forgiven by now" narrative

man i know hes polish, but you dont have to suck his dick

you should be able to use your brain at 16 imo, but who knows

i like that

you also keep zander as IGL and get cracked dualist like timotino or alym, and NOW you have a great team

youre saying eeiu has no impact?

please dont talk about 100t if you dont watch the games

its not a bad idea to have a m80 reunion, i just feel like this roster needs better fire power

so instead of koala, maybe: timotino, reduxx, penny, or if they can get someone from another team

or instead of nism0, a better fragging flex idk

*100t want to lose lol

their corrode looked good the one time they played it

so their win con is winning corrode and possibly come out with a crazy one and done comp on Ascent to fluke a win

well this is the worst game ive seen Eeiu have, i dont think he'll play like that again, but unfortunatly we got the old Asuna back who also played horrendously.

But i also cant believe they let both sunset and lotus in this map pool when they by far and away their worst maps

i undertand why u would say that, but Asuna has been playing really well lately

doesnt ethan play harbour on icebox, he also played omen a lot

yeah thats what i mean

as i said, maybe it is a format problem, but hes complaining now when they were very much happy getting to skip groups when they got it

i mean yeah, their comps, but they also didnt play super well and lost a close match to a good team. its not like it was a crazy upset

im so confused about the discourse from the g2 coach, like you didnt complain about skipping groups when you got it. Valyn even said that they really wanted the advantage.

And now that they lost, its a format problem? Im not saying hes wrong or not, i just think that to blame the format for their loss is hypocritical.

you do know that they are already in playoffs, dont you?

its true, G2 was meant to get the spot until Carlos lost his damn mind, so C9 got in

cube kyu surely

Honestly he’s kinda hurting his team, he should probably go the meteor/1leaf/Alfa route and lean senti.

If he plays senti, they can concentrate on either, asuna full dualist or get a better dualist elsewhere.

That being said, I haven’t given up on that team just yet, they might still qual and play well in stage 2

Its not hot, it’s straight up dumb.

You would rather have a great OP player that is about as flexible as a piece of glass, than an actual great dualist with great mechanics, that takes space, and can still OP at a very high level

bro that was insane

youre right, people should show empathy, but I will say, this is not the first time, that a single trans person does something bad and its an immediate gateway to transphobia for people.

but you are right, the first reaction to this, by anyone, should be empathy

i doubt it but i would take it over nothing

they honestly all feel like sidegrades, I dont think any of them is a significant upgrade other than maybe bao, but he lacks consistency

yeah exacly, I respect the people who wont be watching, I understant why, but I dont get this holier than thou attitude. Like, I just want to see my team play matches

mad?

I don’t love the guy, but my life is pretty good

They co-own the esport org (Shopify rebellion)

i dont really know about before M80, but ive watched every single game of his for the past two years, and let me tell you, he is VERY rarely having bad matches, even when IGLing. He was undoubtedly the most consistent player on M80

The gap is pretty small

Mechanically bang has a slight edge in terms of peaks, but Zander has been historically more consistent with a higher floor. Zander has been an IGL and has a lot of experience in terms of calling.

Wether 100t is better with Zander will heavily depend on how Zander meshes with the team. If the calling gets better because of him and his experience, then they will be better. If not, they will either be the same of slightly worse

Bro I want them to keep cryo on senti. It looks like they are trying to do like SEN and get a star senti. I think thats the way to do it cause sentinels tend to be stars like Alfa or Meteor

Unknown to you, but they have pretty good players.

To be fair this is about as bad as it gets for a roster debut, but it is only one match on 12 days of prac while trying to force Breach on every map. I think we can wait before talking about changes

brooo i wanted to see this new G2 lineup and there's no stream

I like tenz but he certainly has a tendance to complain A LOT. Like the Neon stuff is kinda justifiable, but complaining about everything in the game gets old real quick. He also complains about stream snipers whilst having little to no delay and not covering the map

I do think Nrg has the potential to win against G2, but right now I agree that it’s probably too soon to put them over G2 until we see more

bro he did not diff him, is it so hard to say that both players are good?

yeah i think they have A LOT to fix, but honestly, my biggest worry about them was FNS's fragging, but if he can keep the same kind of performance, I think they should be fine

Yeah fair enough, I think asuna wanted the roster to remain the same, idk if the org/coach had the same plan though

Ah yes classic... I'm not saying that Zander on 100T because bang left is wrong, I'm saying you dont know whether they wanted to run it back. Which is also backed by the fact that on the SEN podcast narrate said he was in talks with 100t to trial to replace someone other than bang and eventually to replace bang

Great place to live in my experience. Nice people overall. I live in a smaller city so things aren’t very expensive over here which is nice

As much as I dislike the suspension, like what he did had no consequences for anyone involved.

But they are also setting a precedent, so now people won’t go around streaming VODs and maybe even get consequences for leaking stuff from scrims to other teams

idk if LEV actually has the money to pay for both of them, but honestly if both of them stay, LEV should be looking pretty dangerous

Although I will say, with how passive c0m, aspas and demon1 tend to be, it might also be rough

Ah yes the career ending match for FNS is the loss to sagemommy

I mean where I draw the line is when he talks about appliances and utensils. That’s stupid buy your own fucking utensils like everyone else.

But getting peripherals and keyboards should be a given. So complaining about peripherals is fine i think, but complaining about utensils is dumb as fuck.

this might be true, but honestly I think Riot still wanted a full region to be china, like in LoL. China is so big, they have so much money, and also China player base is the same as every other region combined im pretty sure. So NA was always gonna share a region probably

I guess thats fair enough. I just hate seeing this negative narrative going on about koalanoob. As a m80 fan for the past 2 years, i know how good he is, and it really annoys me seeing people act like he somehow makes NAVI a bad team

Listen its fucked for the players that got fucked over last minute. But, do you not think that if happy came in and they were winning every scrims and the team environment was amazing, that he would have cut those players? Happy is trying to win, he chose the players that he thought would help the team win.

Like are you assuming that Happy, with all the respect hes built up over the years, would come in to a team like NAVI and build a bad roster? Why, for fun?

NAVI wanted to sign Happy, they were doing trials for 3 weeks without a coach because they had to wait and see whether happy was going to be available or not. Once he was available, he came in and NAVI gave him some amount of power over the roster (idk how much) and he built the team he thought would be best suited to win

But how do you know that THIS is not NAVI being competent and creating a championship winning roster. As i said, you are dooming because YOU think that NAVI trolled the off season, even though this roster might be very good. YOU have no idea

yes of course Jivko, you are in the scrims and you can now say with certainty that this team is really bad. Of course because a team doesnt have the players you wanted, its obviously shit, and shows that "management doesn't have any will for success in Valorant". Of course every good team on paper turned out to be great and every team without big names ended up garbage. Oh i even remember how everyone was so high on GenG at the beginning of the year and how everyone really knew that EG 2023 was gonna win champs at the beginning of the year, of course...

Like before dooming like the world is ending, how about trying to see how it COULD work

yeah fuck I forgot that NAVI was in every finals last year, so he obviously is gonna ruin the team. You are so fucking right, I'm sure the NAVI org/management is gonna be so fucking sad when they actually start making finals

Exactly people are acting like happy is getting to Navi to try and make the team fail
