yeah idk why the casting recently in all regions have been shit. The only good ones are achillios/paperthin and pansy/hypoc. We need steel and brenshow back so my ears stop bleeding

1) Kinggg a heaven on haven vs xset - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ek8ErxPkh0g
context (third map in the seres both maps before being 13-11, lev need this round win to go to OT, and continue to the next round in the elimnation bracket)
2) Aspas insane round in OT vs Optic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFEx5r1xxc4
Context (Grand final map 2 vs Optic in OT whoever won this would probably win the seres)
3) Demon1 takes out two to win split vs Nrg in OT- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExBFrOTlAn8
context (second map, eg had lost first map 11-13, this when eg was still viewed as not that good, having barley made into playoffs, massivley upsetting C9, and needing an OT win to push it to map
4) Alfajer 1v2 vs Loud on icebox- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ss36UQefDhU
Context (Im sure everyone knows about this match but watching the comeback live was absolutley insane, especially since this round was when they took the lead)
5) Nobody stunned gets 3 vs Loud https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5JSLcsrWWU
Context (EDG at the time were no where close to how people precive them now, they had a super close game vs Navi, and beat a mediocre T1, losing to TL, Loud at the time were looking like the best team ITW, and this round cemented the upset, I vividly remember falling out of my chair when this happend lmao)

Honrable mentions:
Tzoxin knife vs 100T which made EG win champs
Rb spraydown Haven vs optic
Aspas 1v4 on bind vs Optic
Jinggg takes down 4 vs Nrg to stop the plant on Bind
Ardiis 1v3 on ascent vs DRX
S0m Cove incedent vs PRX
Mindfreak 1v4 vs FNC on ascent
Davai 1v3 vs Optic on Haven
Suygetsu 1v4 on Breeze vs PRX

I could barely see through my tears as I was writing the ending :'(

could see this too, might write another fanfic with him joining them

its ok bro, we dont judge you for not getting past a third grade reading level

Prx sign Fns as a content creator, whatever doesnt really change much for his audience. PRX qual for Shanghai and battle all the way too top 2, where they lose (again), they battle through split 2, making champs easily. They surf through groups and most of playoffs, untill they get to the grand final. They are versing NRG and go down the first 2 maps. Alecks knows its over, Ethan looks like the best igl in the world, Demon1 is dropping 50 bombs, crashies clutches every 1v3, Marved has lurked spawn and gotten 10 round wins from it, victor has proven that hes the best cypher/raze player in the world. SIghing Alecks cant even bring himself too hit his desk. For the fourth time in PRX history, it looks they will be going out in 2nd place...

Then from behind Alecks a voice calls out, "hold up we can still win." Out from the shadows steps Pujan "FNS" Mehta. "Im subbing in coach, time to show these snakes whos the boss". Puchan subs into PRX for what would have been the final map. Puchan is going crazy, a life game never seen before in esports history. Third map he drops 20, fourth map 30 and for the fifth map he drops 50, breaking the kill record on stage and winning Champions Seuol. Everyone is going crazy, but Fenis just smiles to himself and points out to the crowd. The stadium of 100000 people go silent as Puchan speaks to the camera "y0y, s0mpai, its your turn now" Fenis turns around and heads off stage, retiring from esports and going to streaming, where he becomes the new Tarik, averaging 50k viewers a stream.

this may be the worst list ive ever seen, I can name 15 players in EMEA that are worse than these 5

Make NA its own region, Make SA and EMEA 5 team regions, with 1 slot for Masters and 2 for champs. The winner of the masters will get the extra slots for their region.
Make emea a 5 team. This will allow NA, who has the most t1 talent stuck in t2 to shine. EMEA and SA dont need more than 5 franchise spots because they dont have enough t1 talent to warrant more than 5 spots. As for the EMEA orgs who got shafted, they could come to NA if they want too.
So new franchise system
China: Same
Apac: Same
SA: Loud, Kru, MIBR, Furia, Levithan
EMEA: Fnatic, NaVi, Koi, Team Vitality, Fut (chose these because they are the biggest orgs, not cause their the best, needed 1 turkish org)
NA: Sen, 100T, G2 (replaces EG), C9, NRG, Team Liquid, M80, and 2 others that come from EMEA.

elite in t3 maybe

I think the best igls are the ones that frag the most. While FNS is probably the best igl and smartest player in the game, he can only really preform when he has a really good team behind him, in his own words "We need guys if we want to win". Take the igls of old, redgar, enzo, konan, etc. they all cant frag, and their teams look like shit as a result. Look at the best teams igls of the last year, all of them frag heavy, Johnqt, Boostio, Saadhak, Boo, Munchkin, Stax, ange1 etc. Boaster is the only exption and he needs 4 god players to even win, and weve seen what happens when they dont preform at their peek. In the future I think we will see more teams becoming like PRX getting rid of mid igls for hard fraggers, and having the entire team com together.

Everyone knows the classic tier ranking, S A B C D F, so here are the players that I think defines a tier the most.
S Tier- Loud Less, Less is an examplary player, almost never has an off game, always frags out of his mind no matter the agent hes playing, the definition of a S tier player.
A Tier-DRX Stax, Stax is very conisitent, he does not typically pop off, but once in a blue moon he will go crazy, his average stats are above average, and his igling is very good.
B Tier- Liquid Jammpi, Jammpi is the definition of a B tier player, he is great at any agent, but hes good enough at all of them. He rarely pops off, but he also rarely has an off game
C Tier-C9 Runi, Runi is not particularly great at anything he does, and often forgets to buy needed util (drone) but his mechanics are good enough that he isnt a complete shit player
D Tier-Furia Konan, holds his team back, rarely frags, but does make up for it with subpar igling, not the worst, but far from the best
F Tier-Depphh, Constantly holds his team back, always bottom frags, and offers nothing to the team in return. Makes any team hes on 10x worse.

When are the goats coming back to cast? My ears are bleeding from so many ass casters, mitchman/tombz mimi/ender vansili/riv, and whoever those fucking emea casters are. At this point id take doug and babybay over this mess.

Turkey really is the brazil of EU, insane aim and player. Unfortantley since they are part of EU they are still ass compared to us, but as I see it
Brazil>>>>Turkey>>>>EU

this dude is insane no? imagine him on fnc, they would win everything

big bro acting like he aint 300 pounds himself

They genuinley had a shot at being near the top of apac last year, Ayrin was actually a really good igl, monyet and texture were and are crazy good, LF is also looking really good rn. Imagine the roster with
Texture-duelist
Monyet-flex
Ayrin-initator igl
LF-smokes
Bazzi-Senti

They actually could have been really good, not as good as drx/prx but maybe around t1 level

edited, sorry misread question

why downvots?

sorry my english is not as good as I like it to be and I misread the question
For 2024
Sen v Lev Groups
Heretics v FNC groups
KC v FNC groups
GenG v Loud Madrid
DFM v T1 Groups

and look at tgrd now, tex is shit, net is so shit they kicked him out of t1, trent is decent i geuss, jonahp and vayln are mid.

same as miniboo and he has time to shit all over shitmea t1

look at y0y and say that again

This is yalls team?? M80 is gonna shit all over you guys and easily win ascencion at this rate.

nah he was shit. Reyakjvik-so bad he didnt even show up and they lost to Zeta. Copenhagen-beat fpx without their best player, got shit on by prx, almost lost to Lev with Tacoshitta and got destroyed by Fpx full roster. Istanbul-BEAT BY 100T ASUNA no coming back from this, managed to beat them in the revenge match (not a big acomplishment), got owned by Xset who had d0phh and ayr0n, beat a shit TL, and somehow losing to DRX despite the curse on them. lock in was mickey mouse, rito rigged it so loud would lose, despite aspas diffing everyone on fnc. In Tokyo Leo was blatantly cheating on Split vs EG (this round https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TG485ChbqiY ), EG would have won and gotten two map ban and map pick, Ban Bind Lotus Pick Fracture (EG win) Haven (FNC win) Pearl (EG win) Split (Could go either way) Ascent (EG win). In champs mother nature herself had to come in to save them vs DRX, if there was no hurricane, DRX would have won easily.

I dont want him to act like the best player in the world , shitting over 'worse' teams/players than him, when in reality hes a mid t1 igl and a bottom t1 player at best

nah its not just the being cocky part, its the being cocky while being shit at the game and a subpar igl being carried by your teammates. Many people like demon1 the cockiest person in the game, but he can back it up. Boaster is shit without his teammates, and would never go to an intl event without them carrying him

buddy this might be the worst take ive ever seen. Current Loud clears every team in shitmea and prime loud stomps every team in the world 26-0.

Boy oh boy where do I even begin. Yay.. honey, my pookie bear. I have loved you ever since I first laid eyes on you. The way you dash into the site and strike fear into your enemies eyes. Your silky smooth shots around with the operator, and that gorgeous util usage. I would do anything for you. I wish it were possible to freeze time so I would never have to watch you retire.You had a rough year, but you never gave up hope. You are even amazing off the game, you're a great teammate and friend, sometimes I even have wet dream about you. I forvever dread and weep, thinking of the day you will one day retire. I would sacrifice my own life it were the only thing that could puta smile on your beautiful face.You have given me so much joy, and heartbreak over the years. I remember when you first left Optic and its like my heart got broken into a million pieces. But a tear still fell from my right eye when I watched you win your first win in Reykajivik, because deep down,my glorious king deserved it. I just wanted you to return home. Then allas, you did, my sweet baby boy came home and I rejoiced. 2023 was a hard year for us baby, but in 2024 you will make history happen. Not only have you changed the game of valorant and the world forever, but you've eternally changed my world. And now you're getting older, but still the goat, my goat. I love you pookie bear, my glorious king, Jacob Whiteaker.

derke is hated because apparently hes getting carried (doesnt even make sense he was there best player for 2 years and the only reason he doesnt look as good is because he has actual teammates now and doesnt have to hard carry)
boaster is hated for being cocky and acting weird when hes shit at the game and a subpar igl whos carried by his teammates
everyone else is hated because of how they shit on all their favorite teams last year.
Its the same as what happend to yay, when the best in the game stop being the best everyone jumps on the hate bandwagon.
As for me I hate chronicle because of his stupid ass haircut.

Make a team with the best benched players you can (so not players that are not on a team like puchan or s0m)
Senti:Flashback
Smokes: Pancada
Initator: Crazyguy
Flex: Mony0y
Duelist:Woot

make your own!

Kru??? Blg????

idk duelist role is highly competive and something can only play 3 agents (reyna jett gekko) most teams dont play like prx and wont want to take a risk on someone as inflexable as him
