LaMelo holds the Hornets back because he's always injured. He's only played more than 50 games 2 times in his 5 year career (his rookie year and his 2nd year) 😔. My question is, who's the Cam Thomas of Valorant? Gets their stats but only does that and doesn't have much impact on winning.

No team with ange1 is winning champs

Nope

Surely there is a Tier 2 duelist who is better than 2025 cNed

-KOI +FOKUS (not the roster but the org)

Absolute slop fest incoming

Kaajak diffed Derke last week lmao

Easy target

It was never going to work on NRG. Verno is given the chance to co-IGL on MIBR and I don't think that would have ever would have happened on NRG with FNS, s0m, Ethan, Mada who are all VERY talkative players. Verno was always going to be overpowered in his calling on NRG and not given the chance to reach his potential or play his game. On MIBR he is given the chance to play how he played on OXG and I think it will help him as his career progresses. He also seems to be more comfortable outside of the game with the guys on MIBR more than NRG even if he's still an awkward introvert.

He was very good in 2023 but the last 2 years he's fallen off a cliff. He seriously needs to hang up IGLing and return to NA tier 2.

The perfect secret agent. Went to EMEA and somehow made KOI worse. Can't frag or IGL just complete ass. Thank you for your service 🫡

I was wrong, he trialed for LEV a few years ago but for some reason I got him confused with liazzi

oh ok my bad let me edit my comment sorry

Who was the player from BR who had Pedo allegations in the past who everyone got pissed about being picked up

IGNORE

He's dying a lot on Lotus right now as well

I really wanted s0m to replace TenZ. It felt like the perfect replacement for TenZ role and personality wise but he refuses to leave FNS's side.

I'm probably going to be downvoted into oblivion and not saying it's good that he got shamed but you kind of have to expect that to happen when you date someone who makes content like that. All of that stuff was pretty well known for a while.

People are going to say Chet/Victor but if Sato performs today they win and I wasn't even a fan of dropping Bdog and picking up Chet/Victor. I really like Sato and think he has a lot of potential but it's really that simple.

idk if anything he's always come off as egotistical to me but maybe that's just a bit he does

I'm so ready for FNS to retire, don't really watch his streams but I'm sure people more people want him as a streamer at this point than a player. Sucks that s0m refuses to play without him he's a great talent who will probably go down as one of the biggest 'What If's" in Valorant history.

Screwface is overrated
edit: didn't get the sarcasm at first move along.

I don't think it means anything bang has been playing great this year. He probably is just trying out different roles since he's basically openly auditioning for teams to sign him next year and wants to show his flexibility.

I hope so as well. I'm very much looking forward to FNS moving on as an NA fan (I got the MIBR flag bc of Verno and love the vibes of the MIBR guys in general). It's why I got a bit annoyed when Victor and Chet were picked up for M80 because Bdog was an up and coming player just to be replaced by a guy who was in T1 for YEARS.

Brazil has so much talent as well it's annoyed me how long guys like Khalil have stuck around on FURIA when there is obviously upgrades out there.

Thank you, that's very fair. I feel the same exact way about the players in NA.

Another year of Asuna 🔥

DRX/Vision Strikers in terms of in game strategies

Gotcha

I think he means Victor playing Brim on map 3

I'm sorry Brazilian friends ignore this thread I didn't realize they were actually ass

I'm not even sure if this would be possible and I know you will hate this idea but assuming SEN has success this year and decide against making a roster move Reduxx replacing Asuna makes a lot of sense to me.

Yeah, people keep throwing around Zap but no one is going to pick him up, he quit on his team as the IGL... I just don't see the path for LOUD to be better than 100T, maybe next Split they'll prove me wrong but it's impossible for them to recover this split unless they upset SEN

I think 100T can beat KRU but it will require them to get a map pool that allows for Jett/Iso or Chamber imo (I think 100T should just run Cryo on those agents the rest of the split, despite his Sage looking good last series) play into your strengths. This team NEEDS Cryo to perform for them to win anything this year.

LOUD is playing SEN this week, assuming they lose that they'll be 0-4 in the split. If they beat SEN and prove me wrong then good for them but I'm not sure how you can say that's a better team than 100T who will likely be 3-1 after next week assuming they beat 2G.

Teams with no IGL rarely work. I understand he was awful but that's a lot of faith in whoever would be taking over as IGL. The team is on a 5 game losing streak, I know Lukxo just joined but 100T are better than them even without v1nny until they win another series and prove otherwise.

Thank you. The roster gave me fraud vibes but the results seemed good

There's a path for them to finish 4-1 in their group. Asuna is always going to be inconsistent because that's who he is at this point but if Zander steps it up fragging wise I think it's possible.

FURIA should pick them up

Can we please get Oke and Flor on EG next year 🙏

That's fair

I think KRU are favored but it finally seems like SEN have figured out their roles which makes them scary.

because EG outside of him last year were fucking awful?

You should have said significantly worse and we would have agreed

What does that have to do with the comp?

This is so disrespectful to Jawgemo

have YOU watched the games?

Yep this is exactly why

Why Victor out of everyone though? There's so many T2 players I'd choose before him if I had to swap out Asuna
