Less? Aspas? Tex? just say you hate brazilians bro (pancc is fine to hate tho)

G2 - Shazham
SEN - Rob Moore
100T - Asuna
NRG - FNS
C9 - Vanity
EG - Potter

It does to an extent, but that's the average FD number that most players have. If he was too defensive on attack it would compensate, but it actually exceeds others that are considered offensive. The numbers don't add up

Disagree with this. Boaster this year had more first deaths per round and as much (or even more) first kills per round as IGL's with "praised aim" like Kingg, Valyn, and JohnQT. If anything, stats-wise JohnQT is even more "defensive" than him (which is fair cause he's a sentinel) but no one questions his firepower at all, because he has the highlights. Boaster does have a firepower issue, that he compensated with other qualities such as good calling and great clutch rate

UPDATES:

Qck no longer on plans for Galorys, trialing for both MIBR and 2G.

fns looks like he just came back from the war lmao

common chet W

also why FNS and ethan seem so uncomfortable lmao poor guys

Sentiu

UPDATES:

Furia: Added Cortezia

Loud: Added Zap and Silentzz as trials

2G: Added Xand as interest

mibr has an female analyst if im not mistaken

i wasn't here yet but i remember how crazy twitter was lmaoooooooo fun days

mibr during that first like three games was absolutely legendary, they almost win fucking loud, the streets will never forget

Onur cada hora fala uma coisa nunca sei quando ele tá falando sério ou não kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk mas se for é muito bom, vai moldar uns talentos bons

Liazzi não é controlador na MIBR

Tinha rumores que ele queria ir pro EMEA, mas deve ficar na loud por enquanto

Loud: Bom planejamento, não vejo o stk solo coach como uma boa ideia mas no geral acho que a org tá pensando bem no futuro com sato e lukxo, em montagem de elenco em si não tá tão ruim quanto muita gente fala não

MIBR: Por mais que eu ache o Palla ótimo, não dá pra montar uma line em torno do duelista, entendo o desconforto dos players

LEV: Aposto que é o BZKa comandando

They probably are betting on Cauanzin IGLing if V1nny doesn't perform well

fair enough but im like 90% sure heat will play in furia

why the fuck is mibr above furia

If TL or LOUD classify, one of them. If not, probably G2

I don't like that move at all lol but i hope i'm wrong

UPDATES:

LOUD: V1nny almost confirmed as IGL; Snw added in trials; Added Lukxo as possibility (interest); Stk will likely be the head coach; Dgzin less likely

Honestly i think he doesn't really go anywhere. Unless LEV drastically lowers his buyout. I think every team already invested on a duelist, the few who doesn't won't pay that much

EMEA: Vitality
AMER: G2/2G (the G brothers)
PACIFIC: T1/TALON
CN: FPX

Zellsis is also great and essential for hyping the team up on-server, but just for the backstage videos you can see how Sacy was essential to keep the spirit of the team

Sacy, miles ahead. N4rrate has better firepower, but Sacy is a god tier second caller, support and leader for the team. People won't realize how much he was a pillar for the team until they play again

Honestly i like this idea a lot. Maybe with the improved engine they will be able to make an actual interesting player contract like that lol

Against mibr and eg

Honestly, Furia is building a pretty good roster and not many people are seeing that

It's not going to win anything, is Furia, but it's going to fly high

Socio-cultural enviroment. Women gaming culture is something very recent, so they're still catching up to 30+ years of male gaming culture. And at the same time they're still fighting for a non-hostile enviroment to play. There's still is a gap but is much more mental than natural abilities itself

to early to tell. it depends on internal team management and how they're planning the season. but i think they'il definetly be better than this year. it just comes down to vinny igling on how much better they'il be

i don't think every org in franchising combined has a 400m budget for valorant lol

Cypher is great, the only differential to me is that he needs to be on the spot to use his abilities lurking (like the cage), which means if he makes enough noise the enemy will know. Viper and Astra can be anywhere, so they can easily mislead and be more sneaky

S tier (Has abilities that straight up help lurking):
Viper, Astra

A tier (Don't have abilities to help lurking but don't affect the team by lurking):
Cypher

B tier (Maybe can affect the team because of ranged habilities, but can be good if used right)
Killjoy, Chamber, Sova

C tier (Could work sometimes)
Jett, Reyna, Yoru, Clove, Vyse (?)

D tier (Only with ult or combined abilities)
Omen, Fade

F tier (Don't)
All others

Yes but 2nd Lockin + 1st VCT Americas + 3rd Champions (we ignore tokyo) was also insane for a team that was a bunch of kids with two fathers (saadhak and frod)

sorry i just miss 2023 loud they had such a great potential :(

Well, i was talking more on the geography side of things. I think ignoring it is the issue. But in any way, ignoring population also is a issue. Looking at the future, Valorant is growing more and more. Americas as a whole has more population, and therefore a higher celling of players and public. Eventually Europe will grow on a much more slower rate. They should've invested in developing the separate regions, but instead they chose to concentrate everything in one place. This is better in short-term, but worse at long-term.

I also don't think player base should matter that much to pro play when most of it is concentrated on low elo and basically the same amount goes to pro play independently of how much players it has

Because then it would develop the region and more people would come to play. And player base is irrelevant when only a small amount goes to pro play. The 1 million players from Iron to Diamond weren't going to make any difference in the high level

uniting the entire americas as one continent when EMEA as a region (considering that all teams are from Europe and Turkey, if you don't consider Turkey europe) is smaller than South America alone (maybe even Brazil alone) is certainly a Choice

Pior que acho que nem tem muito mais o que falar, tudo já ta quase definido, maior mistério agora é quem é o HC da loud

me too. twitter will probably be back on brazil some time on the next couple of weeks at least

Noyn and Bruno Povoleri are the GOATS of brazil

aspas don't learn anything he just wakes up one day knowing

that entire loud 2023 roster(besides saadhak) was under 20 years old

Fair enough

Very nice list

Less alone could have like three or four performances listed

Like, while i understand your choice, i think Less on icebox vs Optic on Reykjavik upper finals was my favorite performance of his of all time

And i would like to add Sacy on Champions Grand Finals. Team's top fragger as initiator, 80% KAST, and at least one important clutch at every single map won. Him on Ascent specially was a fucking beast

thats a valid point actually

that's why i thought lev will eventually lower the buyout, aspas wage will still be big even on bench and they can't afford both at the same time, and there's no chance they will want aspas on the team after he basically forced his way out
