my bad bro , honestly i was in a pretty bad mood and had a headache all day yesterday so being misunderstood just bothered me and i let it get to me ,your good ,good luck with ur english journey ,its my second language aswell and im not the best at it either but we both will improve :)

i dont hate sen i just think they are a worse team than the past ,i still like johnqt and hope they do well but yeah i dont have confidence in the org with the current roster ,i dont really hate any teams besides t1 for what they did to sylvan and i dont like yay because he pushed people off multiple teams and kinda ruined multiple very promising players careers in his time on dsg and bleed ,i just enjoy the game and follow pretty passionately :)

im not lmao ,100 USD is alot for india which is why i said u didnt have to gamble yourself cuz i know that can be harmful for you and i dont wanna put you in a bad position over a videogame but for me in norway i would not notice 100 usd missing from my pocket ,its a friendly wager because i find this interesting and am passionate about it :)

i made it very clear that sen had no part in them deciding the maps they did and that envy was the ones that decided to put themselves in that position for additional practice no where in that message do i even imply that sen was the ones that picked envy's maps ,your just illiterate ,dw when i win my wager against the other guy ill buy you a book on reading comprehension ,2nd grade level seems just your speed :)

omfg rigged as in something favorable to one side at the detriment of the other ,im not saying that sen rigged the match and made envy pick those things thats a completely different use of the word ,basic reading comprehension goes a long way ,reread the damn message lmao

well we will see ,if sen qualify to more than 1 international or place top 3 in any international event at all this season then come back to this and ill send you 100 US dollars :) ,you can choose if u wanna match that bet (ill still send it even if u dont wanna gamble yourself)

yeah sure and thats why they went split ,pearl and sunset ,sen's 3 best maps , they took it seriously in the sense that it was practice and they wanna improve but yeah it was just a glorified scrim that was rigged in sen's favor at map ban , there is no world where envy wouldn't play corrode and bind if they were taking this seriously , bind ig u can make the argument that they wouldn't play bind over split cuz they beat sen last time on split but them banning corrode when its one of their best maps and sen has consistently been mid on it shows they weren't taking this very seriously from a must win position ,I'm sure they gave it their all for the practice but yeah thats all it was.

damn sen taking the place as the new c9 is tragic

thats literally what that means ,im sure they will still be competitive in region cuz so many teams are just freebies but yeah they arent like qualifying to the internationals and having genuinely trophy opportunities anymore ,they might make it to 1 next year and then bomb out early but yeah this is just a objectively worse team in every role and they didnt do anything internationally last year and americas will be ALOT more top heavy this year so they might just go 0/3 on internationals next year.

was a good team* they lost their star players and now are just a tier 2 contention team ,the only reason that sen has done so well this event is that A these teams suck and B every team has made dumb bans and gone into sen's 3 best maps with split , pearl and sunset with the occasional haven but if they were really trying they would take it to corrode and bind but no one is really taking this event seriously so they are just playing into sen's best maps for practice

srg minus flor tbf ,flor probably wouldve elevated srg to the level of a middle to top tier 2 team ,srg without flor likely will not get the world championship this year because there are such insane talents in gc globally that without flor dropping 100 kills its just very difficult even tho they do have a very good core.

not yet but he has the potential because he is a really well rounded player with a huge agent pool but he needs to improve his mental and nerves because that ultimately lead to their loss on abyss and him losing out on the mvp because the mvp has gone to the duelist every year so it was pretty much a lock that he would get it but he played poorly on the last 3 maps so he didnt get it. i think the closest thing to a perfect duelist in valo is zekken tbh cuz he is just so consistent ,has no nerves or mental issues and can play pretty much every character to pretty high levels of success.

nah if anyone needs to retire its alfa , kajaak is putting up the numbers needed even with this god awful round calling like telling him to push up with op but alfa just has done nothing since he got sick.

who do u disagree with being a rookie there ,they all have never played a year in tier 1 franchising prior to 2025?

nah brawk is good on odin but brawk has been cooking in tier 2 since 2023 ,im glad he is finally getting his flowers over on nrg ,he is known for his insane clutches with every gun and good igling (even tho ethan is the official igl/team captain mada and brawk do alot of the calling due to their chemistry from mxs if u watch the nrg comms videos)

both teams have 3 rookies ,nrg just got lucky in alot of places and mibr and nrg both played horrible compared to their norm ,on a good day id say nrg is probably still the better team but no one on nrg stepped up today and aspas played insane which made it really close but now nrg has 5 days to reset mentally and prepare for fnatic so hopefully they wont play that bad because that was the worst they have played all event.

ye on the day nrg played the worst valorant we have seen from this roster all year and they still won ,they have a week to lock in and reset before fnatic now that they won so hopefully they wont play that badly again.

emea hasnt gotten a champions trophy since 2021 before franchising was a thing tho so its really just china and americas on top

i would go 2023>2022>2021>2025>2024 personally but i understand this viewpoint aswell.

lmao the bar is on the floor for europe ,3/8 teams in play offs are eu ofc one of them will get top 4 , NA has same number of teams in play offs and pretty much guaranteed 2 teams in the top 4 because itll be g2 vs loser between mibr and nrg and winner of mibr vs nrg is guaranteed top 3 with upper bracket final.
