im sorry its unwatchable i wanna watch but with no huds and very weird observing (you can tell when observers are bad or inexperienced) its rly a bummer, i guess ill wait for APAC challengers

Knights? v1?

do you have the liquipedia link?

i LOVE willow, seven is just special to me in a different way

im probably gonna get shit on for this but
taylor swift-seven

all respect to faze but if im being completely honest they just dont have it yet, babybay is a phenomenal player, so is dicey but the rest really depend on having good days, faze lacks on strats and teamwork (i wonder what changing rosters everyday does) dont get me wrong they are definitely strong but they just need one extra nudge.

DRX/APAC will win masters 2, while korea is mostly drx miles ahead of others teams and apac is the same with one team dominating one region, i feel like the teams dominating are way ahead in adapting to new strats and playing as a team, especially drx, they play completely different valorant from the rest.fnatic fpx and optic (probably ghost and eg too but too early to say) are the only teams rn capable of competing at their level but i dont think theyll defeat prx or drx at their state rn and i know theyre competing against tier 5 teams rn.

mwzera isnt the best raze player in the world, prx mindfreak has 100 percent winrate on raze PRX BENKAI has 100 percent winrate on PHOENIX? clearly better duelists than mwhozera

i swear to god one round loss is enough for vlr to call any team washed you guys are literally npcs

3 do in emea its pretty tight, its sad i really wanted to see ange1 yoru

i love fpx and ange1 is great but theres no way this fracture comp ever makes sense, no breach and omen plus no duelist?? ill give them the benefit of doubt but if they lose without clear proof of ideas working then ill seriously be disappointed:( i really want fpx to win

omg so sentinels?

mark this, if they dont make any roster changes on the basis of a few bad results, they will dominate emea next year, if they take time to play together and work on fundamentals they will absolutely be a firepower

im a smokes main and today i received slack for my heaven smoke on A site ascent, should it completely be on heaven leaking out covering half but weirdly or should it be where the half wall is

chronicle-main initiator, can play multiple roles too
stax-flex, breach
nukkye-main duelist
ange1-igl, smokes
yay-oper

just mark this thread c9 wins it all

all respect to faze they have a lot of raw talent but most of their games they have to make babybay pop off, i feel like theyre a great team and will qual over sen and eg tho, but yes excited to see them play too!!

i feel like c9 will win NA this time, theyre the team that WILL adapt to the changing meta the most and i wont be surprised if they play fade and neon on sunday, sticking to old comps will hinder most teams and c9 will thrive

he used it in a similar way to victor so sure

nope, aleko was the problem, gmd has insane gamesense plus seven is basically walmart wardell, hes great sure but his role is no different from wardell's

i didnt know really? im not surprised c9 did it tho, they find great comps

i would support xset if ayrin wasnt on the team, ive seen him be toxic so many times, i love zekken's flex and dephh on smokes i just cant stand ayrin

that was the first lan, with so much value being given to util usage and teamwork? i doubt it still works, fns would 100% lose an aim duel with most people here but optic is still gonna dominate, c9 probably has the most diversity w comps and are the least predictable team, lg has excellent util usage while they can't really setup good trades. faze sucks w util timing, ive seen their games, babybay is a monster, just an inconsistent one you can shut down w util

faze wont make it, they dont have strats, its babybay go kill, they wont stand a chance again optic or c9 or lg even, if sen does work on strats they will get revenge but other than that faze is just a bunch of egopeekers w good aim, also ghost gaming is massively underrated

like i know when i see a bind or a fracture game or even a haven game its going to be fun to watch, even icebox is fun to watch now with people going mid way more now. breeze can literally be go A 12 rounds in a row and still have a good chance of winning and i hate it

breeze is a great map yes but is it just me who finds it really boring to watch in pro games?? all breeze games are the same and its mostly about who has better timing or luck really with their positioning, ive barely seen any Innovation in breeze since acend tried kayo in champions, chamber is just glorified jett and didnt make breeze fun, its just boring one dimensional aim game.

surely not... SURELY NOT

same but ghost defeats sentinels, trust in ghost gaming johnqt is different

oh yes zeek's kayo is also a treat to watch,sucks he went thru what he did ill be excited for his return

he has 3 raze games in the past 90 days, i havent rly seen him play raze (ive seen vks games tho) ive seen mada play raze and this list is my opinion really, maybe hes great!! i think mada uses raze to her full potential imo.

unironically bnj from nip was one of my favorites during the tournament (partially as a smokes main) if you watch nip's games, bnj as omen (he was shit on viper) single handedly won them lost rounds, he probably has 1000+ hours on omen and the way he used his smokes was beautiful. i was so surprised they benched him, kinda a throw, he was the only watchable player there

who do you think the best player of each agent is?
i have some candidates for a few agents
nats, mako- viper
laz, yay-chamber
marved-omen
nukkye, mada(yes the lg guy)-raze
chronicle-sova
scream-sage
