I'm averaging 5 hours of sleep a day since mid-February and it's slowly catching up to me

Where

I wasn't gonna post this but then again what if the replies are funny

If regular brainrot is "ts pmo icl ong" then would VLR brainrot be "satr ar awap fkftfb"?

Anyone calling flor a bad oper didn't see the ace on Split last week

Honestly, this just shows that Tejo is a problem. If you ignore the missiles and the ult, all that's on the site is a razorvine and an Astra smoke and star (i.e. very normal exec utility)

C9, MIBR, and 100T all have map records of 5-3. Sentinels has a map record of 4-3. That's the reasoning, for those curious

Oh no, I meant having one flair at a time is a good thing

Users having only one flair is a good thing

There's a difference between "can't figure out" and "can't be bothered to". Tier 1 teams have the analysts to figure him out; that's not a question. Top tier analysts are how the pros learn optimal ways to play their agents. There's just no reason for pro teams to look into Harbor yet. If there's a meta idea that works better than anything else out there, what's the point in trying to switch things up? This has long been the mentality of top teams in VALORANT—stick to what's safe, stick to what works. The few teams that played Harbor last year are teams like Karmine Corp, FunPlus Phoenix, and Nova Esports... teams that generally care less about what's meta and try to go for something unique. Teams would never borrow comp ideas from teams like that unless they just happen to align with future meta ideas (such as KC's Split comp last year).

In any case, Harbor wouldn't in this current meta anyway. Not because he's a good or bad agent, but because the meta relies so heavily on certain agents meshing together. Harbor works well with Yoru, but there's practically no synergy with Breach or Tejo—hence why you would practically never see them in the same comp.

KC's comps aren't bad. The clear primary reason why they're losing games is because there's massive flaws in their teamplay and mental, flaws that have shown themselves in every loss this year (other than Vitality) and that have nothing to do with the agents they're playing

Riot did say Harbor was in a rough spot right now but they're looking at almost exclusively ranked data and content creator feedback, and Harbor is statistically the worst agent in ranked in almost every single aspect. However, I already gave reasoning as to why this is the case, both for lower ranks and higher ones. They don't really look at pro play unless an agent is dominating like Viper was last year... the fact that they just buffed KAY/O is enough proof of that

SEN_FAN355 my goat

I'm not arguing that he's a perfect 1-to-1 replacement for currently meta controllers (e.g. Omen, Astra). Every agent has its strengths and weaknesses and every comp with said agent has its pros and cons. Subbing out a traditional dome smoker for Harbor isn't very different than subbing out a recon initiator for a Tejo or Breach... you lose some things, you gain others

I've been playing Harbor way longer than I've been a fan of Karmine Corp, don't drag a team I like watching into a completely unrelated conversation

My goat Saadhak can't even play Harbor that well 😢 he made several mistakes in Kickoff that contributed to losing them rounds (there was one Abyss round where there was a small gap between his cascade and the corner of a wall and he got shot through it, giving the attackers the site almost for free and forcing KC to save)

Harbor is objectively good on almost every map in VALORANT and the reason he's so unbelievably bad in practice is a combination of people not learning how to play him effectively in the pro levels (high skill floor + small mistakes are easily exploitable) and people not willing to play him in ranked because of his lack of selfish utility (kind of like KAY/O and Astra), which results in him seeing almost no play (and whatever play he does see is very unpolished)

To be fair, a classic is a full blown judge if you use it correctly on an eco round

Ok but have you considered mini stinger on pistol round

gamergirl isn't even French he's fake flagging

He already does that on his main account (gamergirl)

They're there for me

Sayf and Jamppi have been igling for the same amount of time, my guy

Gekko

If you're gonna downplay somebody then at least take the liberty of learning their name

I'm trying to go for a retirement home + young blood balance (talent vs. experience kinda team)

GX

• Cut everyone
• Sign cNed and Scream (both F/A)
  • They alternate duelist and flash initiatior
  • cNed plays Jett/Yoru, Scream plays everything else
• Sign ardiis (technically Vitality, but practically F/A)
  • ardiis moves back to recon initiator
• Sign aNguiSt (Metizport)
  • Plays sentinel
• Sign Moh (The Ultimates)

Roles:

• cNed and Scream alternate duelist and flash initiatior
  • cNed plays Jett/Yoru, Scream plays everything else
  • double duelist comps would be a strong option on some maps
• ardiis goes back to his initiator roots
  • mainly recon, some flash initiator e.g. Breach Tejo comps
  • can flex to sentinel if we decide to run double controller
• aNguiSt stays on sentinel
  • can flex to controller e.g. Astra if we decide to run double controller
• Moh is controller igl

Note: roles aren't set in stone as there's an issue with who plays recon initiator in double controller comps. I'd try to avoid solo initiator double controller, opting for either double-double with no sentinel or cNed/Scream on smokes with aNguiSt on sentinel and ardiis on recon

prior to funhavers. non-verbal was the name of a t3 free agent team. that team made stage 3 of challengers 2024 and were signed by funhavers where they rebranded.

since they didnt make it in CQ to 2025 split 1, they've had to go back to premier where they have been using the name of their original team, non-verbal. this is because it is not possible to change the name of a premier team and making a new team would mean the team couldn't play in invite right away.

vlr is using the name of their premier team since that is their official name but should they win this match and make split 2 they will go back to funhavers.

tl;dr: this is still funhavers and there hasnt been a rebrand

I'd put JonahP as purple Araxys Vandal + Diamond buddy

Jemkin, easily. He's somehow never been to an international tournament despite being in the scene since 2022

There's probably a lower number out there somewhere but sheydos only died 9 times in this series https://www.vlr.gg/34951/gambit-esports-vs-crazy-raccoon-valorant-champions-tour-stage-3-masters-berlin-opening-c/

Most likely DFM

We'd get the first draw in franchising history

Of all the teams to make worse, why would you pick KOI? Even if he's the best double agent to ever exist, he's just making them go from 12th to 12th

Yes. It's a matter of workplace integrity

They tried to do what G2 did 😔 respect to all of them for it

Oversimplification: if he shows evidence he loses his job

Source?

If the only thig that matters for goat status is international events then it'd be Chronicle, and frankly it's not even close

Ok BulkyLettuce

"Quid" 😭😭😭

Lotus is G2

They're 8-0 on Lotus this year and they only conceded double digit rounds once https://www.vlr.gg/team/stats/11058/g2-esports/?event_id=all&core_id=all&date_start=2025-01-01

penny best player in Kickoff btw https://www.vlr.gg/event/stats/2274/champions-tour-2025-americas-kickoff

I thought you said FUR Less for a second 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

Victor's played Brimstone before though

And he's very good at him too

Watch Aston Villa win

I think he wants Ambrosia flair

They 5 stacked (also all with Odins)

Paper Rex losing 102 rounds in 3 matches broke the UI

Forgot to add but it's crazy that he went from silver 3 to Champions İstanbul in only 14 months

DVM fans 5 man rushed the JL fans' site with Breach ult + Odins
