trace are being massively underrated

DRX are contenders not favourites

if SEN make it theyre contenders if MIBR make it theyre massive underdogs

and youre comparing boo to riens who has literally never had a bad game? what do you expect bro

im just giving reasons as to why riens is 7/0 and it shouldnt be looked at as some stat that means his team should be winning

replay guy for EMEA is pretty much always the one for internationals

i forget his name but hes super good

remember the roles, sova is never taking risks so every fk he gets is someone on the other team taking a risk while boo is on omen who should take some risks especially on ecos

probably because KC made the abyss decider close but idk I dont like the way TH play abyss

at the same time vitality looked top 1 in the world that map

derke is the perfect duelist player

can play every duelist at a top level, will entry when needed, will stay back and frag out when needed, is very vocal, brings good energy

wo0t said he doesnt like playing duelist and prefers miniboo on that role because the way he plays duelist fits TH better

is that why there are so many irish pubs that are successful selling full irish breakfasts and a bunch of irish food?

also i went to america and i could not fucking wait to get home because all of the american food gave me digestion issues, so much fucking grease my burger should not drip

I expect the goat m4 has been signed to NRG already to save them

if it isnt d00mbr0s then they are crazy

honestly massive respect for n4rrate, had a great year in emea then brought back to na and expected to be the saving grace after losing tenz and having to role swap and hes taking it all on the chin and pushing through

no one wants to watch that shit why would they do that?

respectfully, american food cannot be sold in ireland and most of europe because of how many chemicals that are in which are deemed toxic in our countries

also you guys dont know how to make breakfast

he isnt opening up rounds with fb's, looks very mediocre and easily replacable with the talent in tier 2 in both emea and na

needs a either role change or a year in tier 2, doesnt look confident in himself anymore

also want to ask this, what about 1080p on a 4k monitor?

thinking of getting a new monitor but I know my graphics card is not strong enough to always play games at 1440p, is a 1440p monitor on 1080p really bad?

also my bad for not putting this in off topic, its a habit

i remember watching him fry on chamber a couple years ago, i still cant believe he isnt in tier 1

fnatic are performing as expected after kicking their cornerstone player, prx still havent made changes so its expected

has to be NRG and specifically FNS, didnt expect him to come back tapping heads but i expected him to shoot back

fun fact: crashies has bottom fragged every map other than fracture, where he hasnt bottom fragged once

decent is a stretch

if youre gonna draw the line at EG in americas then its fair to draw the line at m8 in emea as long as you move navi out of that line

any team from TL to m8 could beat each other depending on the day

or you could play london and learn french because not even french people want to play on paris servers

with the monitor on? in no way were m8 a bottom 3 team in emea

also 3 emea teams at b or above? with fut above TH?

and 5 apac in a and above?

and mibr in B?

you seriously think EG are better than 7 of the EMEA teams?

i take it you didnt watch emea?

gotta be bait

also im not saying throwing as in they mute everyone and keep playing, i mean throwing as in they molly/flash us, take spike and run it down, give calls to where we are in all chat etc.

also not a single one has been banned that I reported but they used to get banned within the same session

i took a break from valorant and came back about a month ago but god damn its unplayable with the amount of people who either refuse to listen or tell you that youre wrong then start throwing

in 5 games i had 3 people talking in low immortal lobbies idk what happened in the past few months

1. G2
2. VIT
3. EDG
4. SEN
5. TH

very close between SEN, TH and DRX i think but after 6 it looks like there is a gap

boostio and potter took what everyone was good at and amplified it

ever since all the players just get pushed into the standard roles and play worse because of it

only watch sliggy and sometimes i watch ardiis on the vitality games because it is fucking chaos

I havent really watched anyone other than sliggy since franchising started but wtf happened to tarik? pre-franchising his streams were so much fun but now it feels forced and it feels like he is just there for the paycheck, everything he says is just one liners and no actual talking, feels like he was replaced with a fake tarik compared to 2 years ago

i think they should replace demon1

as a deadlock team yeah

its good for them imo, they need time and they shouldnt be going to an international which would take that time away when they wouldnt make it far anyways

they shown themselves they can be really fkn good when theyre on the same wavelength (that first map against TH as an example) which will help them work harder and bounce back

its nerves, they played really well other games but this is what happens when you have 3 newcomers to tier 1 at their first tourney

i really wish there was either an english cast or a raw feed for the game

yeah that was a banger cant lie

whats your favourite match so far?

if kaajak misses the shot on robbiebk on site the round is just lost and crashies is sitting in ct twiddling his fingers when he couldve swung and guaranteed the round

that shit was a 1v5 crashies was spectating

having a good igl and 4 people that can pop off on any map

reminds me of 2023 fnatic

his calling is still sub par but he is a great leader that can still frag and has a tonne of potential

tejo is incredible on pearl solely just because of b

i dont like kj because of the amount of tejo that is played

bbl are legit + theyre still playing with a sub

worst in emea*

most people know theyre still better than nearly every other caster duo in the leagues

pump it - black eyed peas
im still standing - elton john
shotput - still woozy

as I just caught up today to the anime, here is a mostly ordered opening tier list that doesnt have nostalgia bias as I only started watching in summer 2023

actually really love the older style of openings and realised there arent many complete flops of ops

ano, MIYAVI, Lotus Juice, imase, ATARASHII GAKKO, Lilas Ikuta, QUEEN BEE

Liquid beating giantx is something
also BBL and VIT will almost guaranteed at least get a map and I expect VIT to win
M8 are also pretty likely to get a map with FNC current form

i think i saw theyre continuing the anime either next year or 2026 but that might be a lie

i really like the ops but god damn the animation in that show threw me off and i hated every single character
