w train they will win champs this year

I dont think anyone is getting replaced yet for this year but alecks is definitely going to make some players set their ego aside. This five superstar ego playstyle does not work when the "superstars" does not hit their shots. Like either davai or forsaken steps down the superstar position and becomes full-time igl + the team supports 1-2 superstar like how the rest of the teams in vct does instead of doing the anyone can be the superstar

?? how dare you put something together with him?? He's the best player on the team and this map would have been a 13-0 without him. My guy had to play the riskiest positions in prx and the shittiest spots and is still top fragging.

nah they are not making changes this year but I wont be surprise if f0rsaken goes next year

he actually played very well in santiago. But I agree he is quite in a slump since stage 1

something just went f this and won two rounds by himself.

Pls man you gotta keep up this performance the whole match instead of flipping a coin between every round.

nah bro I disagree about something. His sens is what makes him the elite oper that he is. Back when his sense was lower, his rifling improved but his oping marginally went down. I think I would prefer him to keep his elite oping. Plus, his rifling isn't even that bad.

Rather, I think he should take a different approach within prx now and bait his teammates more. If he is playing so selfless and baiting for his team all the time and they still choke rounds, I think he should play a bit more like aspas and try to win rounds by himself.

off topic but is there an actual dedicated platform to discuss vct without any ragebait like vlr?

As much as I respect the game here, ragebaiting is not for me and would genuinely like a platform to discuss vct games and performances.

half the replies already full of 1/17. Its just the f0rsaken defenders that keep saying something threw so hard kinda tilted me hard. Maybe I should get off this site haha

If people are still slandering him and bringing up his 1/17, then its just personal hate. First of all, i am aware people didn't like him because of his trashtalking, teabagging, and standing up but my god this shit is so vanilla compared to the shit we see in CS. Like its not even as bad as the FUT players. In fact, I'm glad we have someone like him in this scene to keep the competition interesting.

Now moving onto performance, last night, it was only him and invy that wanted to win. The prx core gave up entirely. ESPECIALLY FORSAKEN. I don't even care about whiffs, it happens. I can't forgive the number of round-losing decisions he made and choked multiple times throughout the whole tournament. I was giving him the benefit of the doubt as a grand finals merchant but he choked it as well. So many times he got caught in the open because he "did not expect" lev's aggression to be earlier with the timing. So many times, he gave up easy angles, sites, pushed with great timing only to half-ass hold an angle and wondering why he got insta headshotted when spraying bodies.

Most of something's bad plays are whiffs, and he didn't even have that many round losing whiffs. He was the only one on prx consistently making the correct decisions, reading lev's position in all maps. And remember, he calls as well and still put up that performance.

I will not accept any something slander this time. He played like he deserved to win the trophy. Same as invy. The rest of the prx core failed them both that series.

wont be surprised if he decides to leave next year. Its criminal. I can tell that f0rsaken is not taking this whole tournament seriously

f0rsaken is actually gonna lose this series for us. What a letdown this whole tournament.

holy f0rsaken is solo losing them so many rounds. its already tournament point and he still losing us more rounds than he win us. d4v41 and jiing gotta wake up cuz i lost all hope on this guy

from what I am seeing, his trolls are not as "round losing" as the rest, like I have seen f0rsaken and jiingg throw some fundamentals that lost them the round

the rest are failing him hard

i mean you can also just stop watching. I am sure he and his other 60k viewers wont care

I think swap lotus and fracture. Prx may definitely want to play fracture over lotus first.

Also, why do I feel like alex is gonna overcook tmr and not ban pearl and maybe instead ban lotus lol

and where is nrg rn? If I say nrg should disband because they peaked at champs and can't even make it out of groups, does it sound logical??

No, sounds like a fucking dumbass barking right? So just stop with the braindead take of prx should disband because all they do is get 2nd place

Like if you wanna attack a team, at least make it logical but I guess that is asking too much from vlr

lmao this guy thinks being consistent in getting 2nd place is a bad thing. Your flair would kill for this type of consistency.

That was a good play to confirm a trade kill since it brings the enemy down to one person

so you agree prx winning this matchup since they going to the finals :)))

Also I am sure f0rsaken did not comm it after he died from that spot

This split loss will actually help them. Prx always bounce back whenever they lost a map. You guys have just added split to one of their belt to ass map pools. Should have eliminated them while you had the chance.

If prx dropped one more map against EDG and win 2-1. im calling a flawless grand finals now.

it all depends on PRX's form. If they can consistently maintain their performance against Lev and improve as the tournament goes on (thats the scary part of prx, they get better as the tournament goes on), I really think they can take it all the way. It all comes down to the Vitality game because I think if they get past Vitality, the tournament is pretty much in their hands (unless China can actually turn up in levels never seen before)

but did it happen? its been proven time and time again that many teams that faced prx had one or two players heating up against them but it still doesn't matter cuz they are good at switching up momentum and scouraging for opportunities in chaotic rounds.

It looked like lev should have 13-5 them but they didn't and its all the experience diff. Lev needs an another 3 years on the international stage to make a fair comparison with prx.

And I thought we were ass in pistols back in pacific lol

They are really underperforming compared to the three China players. Would it be better to field a full chinese roster for XLG going forward? Their core is already pretty solid and is showing up internationally.

if ENC does not have an age limit, its better to take yanyandd. Dude is a cracked duelist that hit radiant at age of 13 or something. His clips made it to a bunch of youtube channels too. We may actually field a taiwanese by 2028 but idk whether Riot China will get weird with it and make like a rule stating they need at least one china player if they were to play in the China region.

I would agree in the past but the current season seems to suggest otherwise since a lot of the middle pack teams seem to have fallen off quite largely compared to other regions. Like I feel like the middle pack from AME or EME could diff the middle pack from APAC at the moment.

I mean its nowhere near its peak but it is very far from being "dead". Game has one of the largest online playerbase in fps games and as long as they maintain it, the game will indefinitely stay alive

Don't you mean full.....sense? Haha get it?

bruh you can ask any top valorant pros/streamers on primmie vs d0nk and I highly guarantee most will say d0nk not because of mechanics diff but because of game sense diff. If you still think otherwise, then you do you and keep glazing primmie to be the best player ever to touch fps

never said kangkang wasn't. Just surprised something is not nearly mentioned enough alongside the likes of kangkang when it comes to attack side op

That's why I don't get when people compare him with d0nk. d0nk as a player is not only cracked but also has really good game sense and is able to read his enemy's map movements better. Primmie is just all aim atm but I am sure he will get there with more experience.

I mean in the end, fair criticism but can't really blame the dude when the rest of his team went negative

Ok i get the analogy but as someone who watches both esports, d0nk is still levels above primmie. Even though primmie put up a donk statline and lost, d0nk in a similar position could still carry his team to victory even if 4 of his mates are negative K-D. That's because d0nk is not only just a cracked aimer but he also plays very smart and has a good read on the enemy map movement as well as game sense. If that was d0nk and GE was avoiding him all game, he would have pushed and made them take aim duels with him.

primmie feels like a very consistent aimer where he rarely takes bad duels. He always take smart duels, one of the best pre-aimers, and his iconic crouch tap is so fricking good, especially with his reaction speed when he insta taps two players from GE swinging through the smoke.

This is the main reason why he is regarded the best duelist atm. In terms of peak form, he is definitely up there but I still feel like players like something has a higher ceiling (but extremely low floor xd)

Statistically proven since 2023 and people still are not mentioning smth first when it comes to attack side op. I guess the guy will have to win champs to get the recognition he deserves.

Personally, the dream for me would be team spirit entering valorant and fielding a full russian roster:

Something (duelist)
Chronicle (flex)
nats (smoke because vookashu is a goated sentinel)
Vookashu (sentinel)
Shao/Krystal (for initiator, feel free to namedrop a better russian initiator)

This roster would be the second coming of Gambit.
