oh yeah kiles is doing great right now, and im super happy for him, but during the tournament run he was a much weaker player than the average trophy winner

all those players besides kiles were insane in their trophy run

watch masters berlin and tell me with a straight face redgar didnt deserve that trophy

Kiles is a pretty fair shout tho, at the acend run he never did anything too impressive, wasnt particularly good statwise either, wasnt an igl. He just kinda was there

got me to spend 20 minutes to pull up the quotes to see if its true

[Cheongguk] Just whiffed. Got caught.
[Izu] I was pushed up on the frontline
[Buzz] then if you were gonna fall back, you shouldve done it earlier
[Autumn] I'm telling you, he just missed the shot, why's no one saying that

What you are referring to happens after the game because carpe can only talk after the games

Thank goodness bro left a TLDR, I think thats makes sense but still mid match is crazy

Our guy smokes has like 20 hours on brim and 600 hours on omen, so its mainly a comfort pick
whereas for the cypher pick, we dont really have 2 initator players so its a struggle, maybe I can flex a gekko but I dont think it works out (I will consider it)

for sunset, I just think cypher comps are simpler and easier which is good for a map that we are complete ass at

all good, ill consider ur sunset comp

i dont really need comps, this makes the most sense for our agent pool

just need actual playbook of strats

If you guys have any premade playbooks based off pro teams using any of these comps please share :> I would if anyone could help out (im severely overworking one of my friends)

watched the t1 documentary, watched the liquid documentary and sighed at the difference

and they released that T^T????

where did the controvery come up, what have i missed

acend vs gambit
secret vs liquid

had like 2 matches more than the minimum last year

and all I can say is, if they wanted more matches, they shouldve been good enough to play them. more matches is more stress on the top teams, more painful for scheduling, more stress on allocated time for 2 more matches that only 2 fanbases will. thats an awful trade

visas. people need to be able to be trialed, contracted with and get the proper visas, which requires a lot of time

I use it like 3 times a week

Good list heres some more:

G2 vs Gambit icebox (Berlin - im bias but it was the first ever international 13-0 in a semi no less)
100T vs Acend Breeze (Berlin - ah the controversy)
Kru vs Gambit bind (Champ 2021 - pure cinema, chronicle ace to bring it back)
M3C vs FNC split (EMEA 2022 - The longest map in tier one up until I think fut vs bbl beat it + 0.02 seconds left)
DRX vs FPX Ascent (Champ 2022 - some of the most iconic vct clips of all time ardiss + stax and insane way to end it)
FNC vs Loud icebox (Lock//in - most popular and insane comeback in a grandfinal)
EDG vs Navi Pearl (Tokyo - when people became aware of kangkang, rise of chinese valorant)
GenG vs FPX Ascent (shanghai - Shocked crowds, berlin insane tp + meteor)
TH vs FPX icebox (shanghai - perfection)
TH vs FPX lotus (Champ 2024 - Pure mayhem)
EDG vs TH bind (Champ 2024 - Ace to end it off but not quite there)
EDG vs TH abyss (Champions 2024 - The nobody in a corner 4k + kangkang gaurdian)

this is the funniest shit ive ever watched, thank you curly for showing me this

gambit vs envy

slaughtered them that day, oh what a time

HeyBay Boosting his GF

heybay didnt even boost his gf, im like 90% sure both of them were like on their main accounts, he was just being really toxic

if the chem is there, WE ARE SO BACK

risky pick up based off rumors. but hey I love gambling :3

aint no way they used ai for that T^T

its possible but unlikely. On one hand s1mon really only fits into a system like EDG/WOL (maybeeee TE/FPX) so his options are limited, but on the other hand they got to leave all the drama behind, which barely happens in esport

1. Kangkang did play and try to learn yoru, he just sucked and wasnt getting their results, so their flex player (s1mon - which is the role he was picked up for) was tested for playing yoru (reminder s1mon was a duelist/omen player prior to joining edg). Kangkang is willing to play anyone the coach tells him to play. Reminder After has put him on agents like kayo, omen and gekko. The results told the coach to switch it up not kangkang.

2. huge misconception is that EDG subbed jieni out for hfmi (zjc) but actually jieni straight asked to go back to academy due to the stress getting to him, the only change EDG wanted was s1mon subbed out for his alleged negative attitude towards the team

I disagree with this quite a bit

I thought the title looked too long if I typed underrated

TMV
Sideshow
Sliggy
FNS
Ardiis when he does it, otherwise dont really have a 5th

makes those small little runs, the upset here or there much better. If everyone treated china as = to the other regions, the wolves, edg, te or blg narrative wouldnt be half as good. Even if TEC win here in a pretty much meaningless match its still fun seeing a team like TEC shock people.

yeah thats pretty accurate

ikr ur second best player left and then they put slowly on duelist, best of luck to you brother that must hurt

I mean at certain times yeah, but overall they were definitively above AG (still very bad tho, especially the days with abo duelist igl) Tyloo can have an argument of being worse

actually I forgot tyloo was horrible before 2025

does this fufill people

TEC was never that bad, AG was always far worse than them

could be a lot worse

I mean past top teams have had worse results than heretics

Thats not that bad

By this logic Redgar is a top 2 igl

he has been proven wrong so many times, it doesnt even matter anymore

Enjoy :D

it was nathand, they confirmed it in shanghai

nah nathand was responsible for those comps and now he is in DRG

what a timing T-T

Man I missed my IGL
FPX are so back, life you do need to wake up a little tho

AG have a pretty interesting deadlock comp, I fw it

I know its the geng comp but its not common to see

The first masters has 0 prestige its a regional event.

Acend were better than gambit on the day, they have never shown anything close to that performance after that grandfinals. But I agree, no run can be considered a fluke, if you win that day you win.

all of their players except kiles got kicked from a tier 1 rosters

Starxo, Zeek, Bonecold were all on the bottom emea rosters

Cned is the only player from Acend who has had relative success and rn he is mia

because he wasnt this good before, he has been given a chance and is now shining

mainly people complained that he was standing up too much and too toxic or whatever

nt rarga, not getting any help on these entries </3
