Im optimistic about it, I think Verno has good aiming, and he played really well in the off season (and NRG already wanted him gone back then too). If he can learn from aspas and work on his mentality and mechanics, MIBR can do damage.

Im also curious about how the curve of "improvement" will go for MIBR, because in Kickoff they had only 1 day of practice before their first game against 100T, so they had to get better really fast throughout the tournament while also trying to adapt to every oponent and the meta. They basically reached top 3 with just aim. They have the most "potential" imo

A problem of CS for me is that most tournaments and matches are forgettable and the weight of the big games is lighter because the best teams play against each other all the time and losing a tournament there is ok because next week they will have another one so who cares.

the Major have their own qualify events, so your performances throughout the year doesnt really matter.

In VCT most matches are important because your season and Champions qualification depends of every game and the big games are BIG games. Riot does everything prioritizing the show for the spectator. Quality > Quantity

I didnt understand most of the sentences you wrote but I agree that he is overrated. He doesnt play 1/5 of what he plays in regular matches when it comes to big games. Boostio is unfortunately right

He was Champions 23 Grand Finals MVP imo, extremely impactful and raze diffed Jingg in the supposed last match of his career

Toronto Grand Finals: NRG vs MIBR

Fifth map overtime MIBR Verno 1v5 ace clutch 22-20, he stands up runs to other side of the arena and punches FNS

MIBR are disqualified, NRG Toronto Champions, FNS MVP

Champions Paris is going to be so hype. Good timezone and historically hype french crowd

yess, her name is Gabbie! Here is a picture of her:

Im really happy for Sacy and his wife Sophia after all they have been through after Lana passed away. They deserve a happy retirement😌

impossible, Sacy just moved to other house and has a new dog to take care

"plat" chat

pimon is not #2 bruh

then why dupreeh is not considered the GOAT of CSGO if he won 5 Majors and s1mple only 1?

killed those bums Tejo and Vyse

If he just hit that shot on meteor on Split, unfortunately meteor has too much aura

I used to know these people, but now they are just a bunch of NPCs

o7

we're gonna get Mimi unfortunately

If you like an anime protagonist "underdog" that just wins and wins and wins and wins and wins, and all the other characters are lame with no development and useless, but the protagonist just wins and wins and wins and wins and wins and wins and wins and wins and wins and wins and wins and wins.

But he makes emotes on stage! ( -_•)·︻テحكـ━一💥

I think Riot designed it to be: Champions > Masters 2 > Masters 1
But I think it would be better if Masters 1 = Masters 2

My completely unbiased pred for Toronto winner is: MIBR!

If I was pissed because of that I would not be trying to follow this tournament and watch the VODS and comment about it, but I do because a like VCT.

About the "no viewers" check the edit of #6

And "G2 is boring" is probably the oldest take ever about this team and there is nothing wrong with it, you can still like them, cheer for them and feel excited about their games, nothing wrong about it

He might turn up for Grand Finals, last international GF he played was the Champions 2023 and imo he was the MVP of that grand final, he was more impactful than Prime Demon1 for example. But yeah hes been missing for 80% of this tournament

what other brazilians pointed this out? You are just generalizing us as if we were one entity

edit: Also viewership is important for every esports, so If you're fan of VCT, the popularity of tournaments is important for the competitive scene :v

Of course you personally think its going to be a banger, you are a G2 fan, you are gonna have a great time. Im talking about the overall hype of this tournament has been lacking compared to the others.

Might be a timezone consequence with this being the 3rd tournament in Asia in a row + being 8 team tournament

Is this going to be the LEAST watched Masters GF off all time?

G2 is the most boring team off all time, enemies of aura and viewership, EDG just lost so no China inflated views

there will be a new agent, other agents will be nerfed and buffed and G2 will lose

gambit - plumbers era

FPX - PRX allergic to finals

FNATIC - hawkt0yz and cow ahn zeen gifted lock in to them ruining Less's and Aspas's legacies, Masters Flukyo had PRX without "something"(pacific MVP), demon1 VISA issues + LOUD with internal problems

moral of the story, EMEA biggest achievement in Valorant is gifting Asia a Masters and a Champions trophy back to back(Team Heretics)

Rob Moore banishes you and the other rats from SEN Society, you guys are not welcome anymore.

#SENCITY

I'll talk with my associates at MIBR to arrange that.

Thank you for your efforts.

is your name a reference to Avatar? "Toph" she's my favorite character from that series

Or is it something else?

Naxy (aspas's wife) in chat: "stop talking weird things about verno because of gossip"

Aspas: "read what my love wrote in the chat guys, read and absorb it"

also PRX without "something", the pacific MVP, and LOUD with internal problems. Masters Flukyo was so free for FNC

g2 vs t1 might become the least watched valorant international grand final of all time

Aspas is not signing a brazilian player, he hates us

I hope you overcome your depression and become happy :)

And I would NOT trust my drink with:

Mazino
Flashback
Sinatraa
Kamo

LEV did this for tex and it was kinda risky yes, but if you watch their comms videos from 2024 you will see that it wasnt bad at all. But cortezia and xenom need to speedrun their english classes in 1 month for this to work

Noyn said Verno was a possibility and they were testing other NA players too

Aspas was playing duos with Verno on stream and they were in Discord call. Aspas usually only joins discord calls with people from his current team

none of these words are in the bible

I genuinely believe that aspas hates someone in LEV, maybe C0M, maybe kingg, idk. But there has to be someone he hates there, to make him leave the team in the middle of the contract

there was period of time when the LEV roster in vlr was:

Aspas (duelist)
Demon1 (smokes)
Kingg (flex IGL)
C0M (initiator)
Tex (sentinel)

they cannot see the peak Riot's script writing, the NRG drama was clearly a canon event of Verno's character development and now he is entering his redemption arc as he found a master (aspas) that will teach him the right ways.

I agree with you, but this MIBR was very out of nowhere and I dont think they would search for brazilian players. Aspas only accepted cortezia and xenom because they were Sacy's recommendations and frod insisted to Aspas that artzin was good.

Brazilian valorant history only really found success with the LOUD 2022 squad and the players who played with them, so right now its hard to find new talent. Also there would be a lot the classic very possible VISA issues of signing a brazilian player in the middle of the season, so i understand why they're testing NA players. I just hope its only 1 import and the team remains brazilian so it doesnt turn into a LEV situation

Yeah its odd for the team's identity, but for example Leviatan also changed their language because of 1 player (tex) and they won Americas and reached top 3 in the world so at least in the performance point of view its possible and it could work.

he is not his best buddy, his best buddy is Sacy and the OG LOUD players + his wife and thats it

The NRG situation was just a canon event, that was part of Verno's character development and now he will find his master and friend (aspas) that will guide him to the right way. John Riot is cooking with this writing

MIBR's english rankings:

#1 Artzin - Great english

#2 Aspas - Good english

#3 Xenom - Mid english

#4 Cortezia - Mid english

but xenom and cortezia levels of english are just about enough to valorant comms + they could learn a lot before stage 1 living in LA

it is true, nzr tweet:

https://x.com/Nozwer/status/1895262760700911977

yeah it was probably a performance/team problem that we will never know. But I still find hard to understand what he says, I understand like 70% of what he says in the VLOGS but maybe thats just me

I've watched them playing ranked in NA and they communicate just fine, at least basic english for valorant comms they know
