the asuna hate is unnecessary. Asuna is a unique player. I assure you if he ever gets dropped he is getting picked up instantly. Bro is not leaving tier 1 anytime soon even if its to china.

I say the best way to get GC involved in the higher tier scene and make it more competitive is having offseason or on season tournaments not related to the main VCT circuits that allow them to play against T1 and T2 teams. For example, Red Bull Homegrounds can feature a GC team from each region. Or during the season with premier relegation into T2 the winner of GC can also be involved into that play-in tourney. Also open scrims to allow GC and higher tier teams to scrim with each other. I dont think GC teams are allowed to scrim with VCT teams but I also could just be making that up. This raises the competition for GC teams and allows them to catch up in terms of skill and experience. I think the GC circuit is fine. Its like the WNBA. Also T1 teams should allow woman to trial for the roster.

TLDR: Give GC players more opportunities to participate against higher tier teams. That will allow them to grow and get better as players.

this is just wrong

bro just wants to cause problems

Put me in coach

EDG have always proven to be number 1 china every year and for the first time in China VCT we are seeing EDG easily looking like the number three team in China. FUT is a team that have kept up with some of the top dogs in EMEA and also they finished number 1 in the league. Granted they havent won any notable games which is why I think EDG will come out victorious. But the pressure just isnt the same. EDG has a lot more riding for them.

EDG are coming in as heavy underdogs tbf. I think if they win it will be an upset. PRX vs G2 is going to be an absolute banger tho

Just wanted to get an update on everyones pick ems so far. I know we had a lot of scares and a lot of crazy games. This is mine so far.

Talon knows they are the underdogs, they are going for unique plays and comps to play the underdog disguise. LEV ez 2-0.

nothing beats that veteran experience

bros just big brain gigagenius

why is this a crazy fucking game ?????

why can talon actually 2-0 lev rn???

🐐

primmie and governor nuts

i think the last thing 100thieves needs is mechanics. We already have asuna, bang and cryo. All we need is someone who has mastered the fundamentals. C0M is that player.

i got so much hate on my last post about 100 thieves because i said c0m > eeiu

C0M > eeiu

i do not care how much everyone here hates me. This is my hot take. 100 thieves should have gone for c0m instead of eeiu. I have said this in my last previous long analysis and im saying it now.

patrick watson from the conjuring???

100t vs ACE Masters 2 2021
FPX vs DRX Champs 2022
LOUD vs OpTiC Masters Iceland 2022
FNC vs LOUD Lock In 2023
100t vs SEN LCQ 2022
EG vs FNC Champs 2023

its a kru kru world we live in

I have been a 100t fan since first strike. After seeing so many ups and downs for the past three years. Its so hard. NaVi at least has a International title. 100 thieves make internationals just to get rolled because three of our players couldn’t get over 10 kills and then they get titled and throw.

I’ve noticed every time i dont support 100 thieves they win. Im switching flairs to sentinels.

maybe me watching is the reason 100t are losing

lets fucking goooo!!! come on lock the fuck in

im done. Im not watching 100t valorant anymore. I cant keep watching the same result over and over again every single year.

I cant watch this, someone tell me how it ends

that pistol was brutal bro

what are we cooking 100 thieves !!!!!!!!!!

mta needs to win those broooo

100t will qualify if SEN and LEV make top 3 through championship points

WTF LMAO 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

They are good but they are so wildly inconsistent even though they have so much experience at the highest level. I think the problem in their inconsistency is the lack of flexibility and mindset.

Asuna needs to learn more agents than just raze/gekko/kayo. He needs to learn a controller like harbor/omen or a sentinel like cypher. That would clear up so much of the other roles for the players like boostio. Also get Asuna back on Neon !!!!!! My movement king.

Cryo needs to learn more duelists than just Jett. Learn yoru, phoenix, reyna. Also if bro wants to keep playing controller, he needs to learn all the controllers not just brimstone.

eeiu i think was a bad pickup. If they got C0M instead of eeiu I feel like so many of their problems would have been fixed but you cant change the past. But eeiu needs fixing. It looks like confidence sometimes. With M80 and NRG he was always ready to take those 1v2 duels and win out but now he always seems so passive. It could just be the game plan but sometimes fuck the game plan. Play like you're the best initiator in the world. Thats why C0M is good, he may not be gifted mechanically but he is confident in his role and plays like he is even when bottom fragging.

bang can keep doing what he does. He has off games here and there but even his off games are impactful. But I still believe bang would be a killer sentinel player. That boy is a laser.

Boostio. Once his other teammates start becoming more flexible, boostio is going to shine. He also needs to try new things like he did with EG. The phoenix on Ascent with old EG, the lockdown Fracture with Champs EG. I think it helps that EG was a very experimental environment whereas 100t likes to remain old school and stick to fundamentals. But sometimes fundamentals fail and you need change and style.

I think another issue is mindset. They are playing complacent cuz they think they have a freebie to champs but if they lose all games which is very possible, they won’t. They have lost to a down bad MIBr before, and LOUD can turn up at the craziest times. And EG is EG. They can’t be comfortable in situations like this. They were playing like they were the best in the world a month ago but they have trouble believing they are the best in the world. Boostio can only do so much mental change, alot of the players on 100t need self confidence to bring them up.

The future looks bleak. And im talking roster rebuild bleak.

TLDR: 100t needs role changes(like i have said previously) so everyone can step out of comfortability. Also mindset diff.

I don't know what's happening, I'm also sad. If this is what our low looks like we are screwed. We need consistency not ups and downs.

Are they going to end up being:
Zmjjkk
Smoggy
woodAy1
S1Mon
CHICHOO
???

this always happens. One good tourney, then they throw every game after. Last year they rolled LCQ, the year after they got shit on. Now its happening this year, they rolled Americas and now they are going to get shit on.

they couldnt afford the new logo so they had to go back 💀

Is it not top 3 from each group qual to playoffs??? As long and bleed and ge keep being ass, T1 can qualify thru record.

Obv T1 needs to win out but after seeing their performance on GenG, im not worried about them losing.

APAC: GenG cuz its obvious. DRX honeymoon period could take them far. PRX cuz now is the perfect time for them to go crazy with the whole world doubting them.
China: EDG cuz the rest of China is too weak. FPX cuz same reason.
EMEA: FNC still got the veterans touch. KC can still cook. TH with a sub. NaVi if they can adapt.
Americas: 100T cuz goats, SEN cuz actually good, LOUD cuz OG team might cook. LEV cuz talented players that might make LAN but not go deep. NRG cuz FNS never misses an event.

That’s crazy that they need a sub to win. At least the other Americas teams can play with their full and still string together wins. Your team struggles with their full :/

100t are about to farm this split

bro knew about the s0m return 💀

Jett, Omen, Viper, Sova, Gekko

I think the map is too big for the limited AOE that most sentinels are limited to besides like maybe cypher but I dont think Cyphers kit is good for the map.

If teams were ambitious enough they could run Chamber but that would be difficult in real games. I could see Yoru and Neon running around on this map and causing havoc.

This may sound crazy but Im kinda expecting players to start fake falling on this map and just start messing with people. Jump off map with Omen but tp insta and surprise them. Or use yoru tp, jett updraft, etc. Especially down mid, pretend to miss the jump to the rope but in reality you bring it back with a jett updraft.

Im really into indie music and i think Dominic fike is really good. Very mainstream but he has that success for a reason and that’s because he makes good music.

A less mainstream but still popular artist would be Dayglow

Would love new recommendations

First with Americas playoffs and now with Shanghai.
100t needs to hire me as an IGL or analyst

https://www.vlr.gg/pickem/ddf0a71b

Duelist: Dicey ($1) (Decent Jett)
Flex: f0rsaken ($4) (Best flex player)
Initiator: Verno ($3) (Best tier 2 player)
Controller: Curry ($2) (Best ranked playerr)
Sentinel: Boostio ($5) (Best IGL)

R1: 3-0
R2: 3-0
R3: 3-0
R4: 3-1
R5: 3-2
R6: 3-2

No Asuna on this list is criminal

WTF LMAO 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
