hold on they cooked.

Ah good shout that first map was spectacular, individually and with his atk side calling.

Let me know if you think anyone got snubbed.

Great game ggs.

hold your horses buddy.

it just ended....

derkin.

Cant imagine them getting back into valorant but its great to see hastr0 get the NV brand back.

They make confidence based decisions. They play the game exactly how the fucking MOBA crowd hates it. Listen, there’s a subsection of playerbase out there that thinks the game needs to be defined down to the fucking numbers. The analytics. “Pushing up my glasses. Oh this lineup from this particular angle. Oh this composition doesn’t work in theory because this particular position of util 🤓.” YOU’RE GONNA GET SHOT IN THE FACE! YOU’RE GONNA LOSE THE ROUND! IT’S A GUN GAME! IT’S AN FPS! IF YOU WANT THAT, IF YOU WANT THAT PLAY OVERWATCH! IF YOU WANT THAT, PLAY LEAGUE OF LEGENDS! PLAY A DIFFERENT FUCKING GAME! THIS IS VALORANT YOU MOTHERFUCKER! YOU GET SHOT, YOU DIE! YOU GET SHOT, YOU DIE! YOU GET SHOT, YOU LOSE THE ROUND, YOU LOSE THE GAME! IT’S AN FPS GAME!

If only that twisten move didnt get blocked </3

oh how the mighty have fallen

bad performance with cow paulo watching :(

yeah it checks out.

It's a just a mistake in vlr.

Mongolz play rrq on the 6th of February
Vs Naos on the 28th of January

https://valorantesports.com/en-GB?leagues=challengers_sea

Big win for the Mongolz.

Maybe let batu play a game first?

Hoping for a RobbieBk masterclass, would be a great sign for t2 igls in emea.

Navi did a similar thing in 2023 with Gekko, just after he was released.
Seemed like a lack of reps & probably understanding of how to derive the most value out of his kit.

Hard to tell because ange1 is playing it.

Lewn going berzerk

In fairness it is a very valid reason to exit the league.
The soop exclusivity agreement just kills the ethos of DSG.

what i got done in apeks after 4 seasons:

1. Season #1
   2W - 9L
   2 points

2. Season #2
   11W - 0L
   29 points
   Tournaments Won: Regional Playoffs, Regional Playoffs

3. Season #3
   10W - 1L
   35 points
   Tournaments Won: Kickoff, Regional Playoffs, Masters 2, Regional Playoffs, Champions

4. Season #4
   10W - 1L
   37 points
   Tournaments Won: Kickoff, Masters 1, Regional Playoffs, Masters 2, Regional Playoffs, Champions

It gets a bit repetitive and quite easy to win but its a really cool concept.
The UI is excellent and the concepts are properly fleshed out.

Talon is like prime astralis in the sim.

Good roster for NE and a great academy project.

Qpert is still young for an igl and has experience across a variety of teams, I think this could be a good opportunity to prove himself as a potential igl candidate.
Rexxtoned, I've watched a bit, very talented.
Ninja has done well with that chipi chapa roster in east.
Gsr & Donatello, I haven't seen them play in a competitive setting yet but from the clips I've watched seem like great prospects.

I had Leaf/Jonahp/Valyn just outside the top 20.
Mainly because I felt what made G2 so good last year was how they played as a unit, there wasn't that consistent star power that some other teams have.
Also some pretty one sided losses in the latter stages of both domestic and international events.

actually yeah i should've moved him up a couple.

Best initiator in americas in 2024 by miles.
Most consistent piece in 100t, although cryo for sure had higher highs.

Personal opinion based on how they performed throughout the year, individually and achievement wise.

1. T3XTURE
2. METEOR
3. RIENS
4. CHICHOO
5. ZMJJKK
6. KARON
7. ZEKKEN
8. Tenz
9. wo0t
10. ASPAS
11. SMOGGY
12. Derke
13. CHRONICLE
14. LIFE
15. Benjyfishy
16. N4RRATE
17. JOHNQT
18. EEIU
19. munchkin
20. TREXX

or atleast something close to this

Not really because you are under the false assumption that everyone plays on faceit.

Nukkye had a solid career, playing for good orgs in emea for like 4 years.
He kinda slipped through the cracks of tier 1 and there isn't many great opportunities in T2 emea.

We will always remember that raze movement play though.

As they should, however its harder to compare domestic results between regions.

I personally had T3xture number 1 but the issue really just lies in the limited sample size.
Nobody really takes any domestic results into account so that just leaves 3 events.

Same thing happens in LoL, T1 swept all the awards despite only being the best team for the last 3 weeks of the year.

Welcome back C9 Vanity.

They probably just got a good offer for icy and heavygod and called it quits.
They will be able to sell the other pieces aswell to mid tier cis teams.

I agree, but I think crossplay will keep the ceiling low for a good while.
The grip the meta had on overwatch was crazy, like people were trying to play GOATS in plat lobbies.

Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl clears

Yeah i'm a big fan of academy teams although I feel bad for the tier 2 orgs in SEA.
Their league had already been condensed and the added academy rosters will squeeze them even more.
If SEA split 1 has 12 teams, there will be only 9 tier 2 orgs.

Could i get an update of mine please?

Didn't mean to put infamous, my fault.

That means every player from that WeMade Fox roster is now coaching in Tier 1 valorant.

Solo & Peri in GENG
Termi & Glow in Drx
Bail in BLG

Bigger tournaments are more enjoyable.

Although the major has another function for counterstrike, it provides monetisation to the organisations via the in-game stickers.
So despite Valve looking to expand the majors to 32 teams per major, Riot currently subsidises 44 VCT teams.

Sato, is the major rumour.
Apparently he also trialed for apeks and did well despite having 200 ping. (noyn)

At the moment yes, although valve could change it.
What is worth noting, is that valve were looking to change the major format for the next major (increase the amount of teams).

G2 vs Vitality final in both games.... that would be peak.

Masters Toronto final and the CS Austin Major final will be happening.

Some higher power might need to step in and move one of the events back.
Or just invest in a second monitor.
Regardless it's gonna be an insane day for esports.

I have a feeling we will see the best of fnatic at the latter end of the season.
Not having Leo is a huge loss, I think kaajak will need a bit more time to fill derke's shoes.
Boaster has been performing well individually this off//season so thats a plus.
Although still having alfa + chronicle means anything is possible.

Americas: NRG & G2
EMEA: FUT & KC
PACIFIC: T1 & TALON
CHINA: TRACE & WOLVES
