Boaster gonna start crying once teams study their haven and destroy them in the most important match of the season at champs

EU just stands for european servers which is where russians play, many countries in europe arent in the european union so that claim of urs is stupid, EMEA clear of NA but Americas better thanks to Loud but its not really fair to compare just 1 continent to a super continent with regions that dont even share the same servers?

vintage fnatic bringing creativity in a new meta so they always have a map they cant lose, sadly boaster cant call unless there is constant meta changes where he can exploit new metas/gimmicks

I have always hated his style of calling and still think he should leave because in the end its a shooter and his time is up at t1 in that sense but his improvement as an igl since the year before franchise is commendable, he is not a leader emotionally tho u cant just lose your mental as an igl like he did in stage1 and does many times

scream and sliggy in big 2024

thats not true for everybody, you might farm more stats being the trader but if u are someone with the entrying ability of wo0t u get way more impact that way even if ur stats will look better being the trader, having a player who can simply run into site and have a ridiculous success rate in entries is OP, it just makes it so easy he just either wins u the round or puts you in pretty good positions to clean up, look at donk who is in contention for top1 this year, might better stats on a superficial level if he played "star" roles but the impact he can get entrying makes his team win more, in the end it only impact and winning counts not ACS or rating

yeah but he isnt getting the impact that wo0t gets, I think they are fine like this but wo0t is the better player and duelist, he was getting crazy impact in terms of openings and entries, he was similar to donk just full w destroying everybody

lmao

having ardiis/zyppan as your duelist in big 2024 is a problem tho, its not a coaching staff problem, the IGL matters more than any coach and ange1 is clearly showing his limits rn, should transition to coach and let Shao igl

those t1 players everyone knew were among the worst in the league tbf, kaajak is not bad and he is one I will keep an eye on if he moves to a more competitive league but look at the duelists there in EMEA rn, there are some incredible duelists and if you are 19 u need to be better than he is to be considered among one for the future in the region with imo the best duelists by far, u got guys like click and sayonara who are generational talents in t2 who will be in t1 as soon as they turn 18, alive, alexik, b1sk, famsi, etc... who are probably more experienced and well rounded duelists than kaajak rn, I would wait until ascension and see if kaajak can perform at a higher level than polaris but considering u have kamo who is an incredible talent then he isnt my priority, I genuily think if u get patitek and zeek while keeping kamo if u get either al0rante/chiwawa as your sentinel and the right igl who can play smokes or trust patitek as an igl and add somebody else u can aim for international tournaments, u add the 2 right players to that core and u cook

doesnt matter what stats d3ffo has, eye test tells u he isnt good enough for t1 specially as a duelist, he isnt better than other options, comparing him to purp0 is an insult to an elite talent like purp0 imo
redgar is just somebody u cant keep on your roster even if u know he isnt that good, he is a player/igl that kills teams specially as an igl, he is too bad as an igl and has bad personality for it
kamyk is good but he isnt on par with the best t2 players, he can be a decent role player in t1 at best, considering some of the talent there is in t2 he should have no business in t1, good player tho its not like he is a bum
kaajak isnt good enough specially as a duelist, just like apeks who arent a good team dont let them farming polaris fool you

I dont underestimate anyone, I watch a shit ton of t2 and have been saying for years that the players in t2 are better than those in t1 which they showed this year, imo you shouldnt let stats of certain players in t2 fool you when it comes to judging the potential of players, league context matters and although stats are very important eye test is even more important to judge potential and understand how these players would do in t1, I think kamyk wouldnt be bad in t1 but kaajak as a duelist isnt t1 material rn imo, I always reason trying to build a winning roster so imo you cant have kamyk/kaajak on a winning roster, I wouldnt limit myself to a full polish roster to shoehorn those specially since there are better polish players and u have some insane talent in t2 ready for t1

not good enough, there are too many good russian players to just accept a dogshit IGL like Redgar and a t3 player like deffo, purp0, cloud and sheydos is an insane core tho, my biggest problem is your KOI lineup, kaajak and kamyk arent t1 material if u want to try to build a winning team, zeek is a great pickup and buld could be interesting if u need an igl, also think starxo still has it in him to be an igl in t1 in the right team, this KOI team is just dead and he looks mentally finished, I would at least trial starxo if not then just get buld, would do everything to get patitek too, there is good polish talent out there but honestly it seems a bit limiting to just sign polish players, I think a polish core like kamo/zeek/patitek would be great but for the other two players u can decide based on what options u have, basically trial starxo, sheydos, grubinho, buld?, al0rante since u need a sentinel, chiwawa, etc... there are a thousand good players in t2 so I would let zeek/patitek decide who they want to sign for the coach role and what players they want, I think in valorant they give too much power to coaches/managers when it comes to building rosters but I would trust two smart experienced guys like them to know what they need to build a winning project, good and smart players usually know best what players they need and its best to let them decide who they wanna play with instead of a coach forcing to play with certain players, I think its just a matter of having a player or two with a shared winning vision and empowering them, I think zeek and patitek are insanely skilled in all senses, are great friends with a shared vision and know that it takes to win specially patitek after this heretics experience

nuke both orgs, add Spirit and another decent org

braindead take, two mid rosters

maybe they cook with him or n4rrate as IGL, magnum is t3 caller at best

magnum shit IGL, if he can be called an IGL so can patitek

Apeks not that good

I think UCAM more likely, they are a VCT level team in all senses imo

Riot should change rules so this kid can play, bro is too good

they should host one in south africa or something

they are good

honestly I like him

no scream, he will destroy that team, just drop wailers and scout good french sentinel who can shoot back, trex and sayf are very good but loser mentality, I dont think you win shit with them two together in a team, need to get a new coach and players who can work on their mentality and not let them have much say

I swear there are a thousand crazy good players, igls and coaches in european t2 but some of them dont get a chance

easily, aspas just a better oper but in terms of entrying and pure firepower wo0t is clear, he is like donk its almost impossible to stop him, in terms of movement wo0t is insane too but aspas is more "clean" and aesthetic so people think he is better in that sense

they are still performing somehow but I doubt they get a comeback for the 3rd time, those two previous matches made no sense, they had God and Satan both in their side

Spot on man, you know a lot about this videogame

up to the players imo, its a players game and I think one of the problems when it comes to team building in valorant unlike CS is that the players are very rarely listened to, let guys like starxo/zeek/sheydos choose who they want to play with or what coach do they want, this obviously can also backfire since many players will just choose their friends and not the most competent people but I think in this case its fine, it will be up to starxo to choose what type of coach he needs

probably yes specially if they had miniboo, without miniboo heretics has better star power but 100T have better average firepower, basically heretics better peaks but 100T better on average

you are delusional

its a lot of text but I think some people might appreciate an in depth analysis of EMEA as a region

they lost it after they started to lose 4-5 rounds in a row and by third map they were mentally out, they shat their pants and they had the thought of it during the third map, unlucky but its a young team so shit happens, at least they have experienced the most surreal comeback possible so u cant choke even harder than that even if its funny how they also let Fnatic reverse sweep them

EMEA has improved a lot this season, I think the average level of the top6-7 is pretty decent, the work being done in terms of giving chances to t2 players is great since there were a lot of washed players and all of the players from t2 are showing a great level (except maybe Runner?), Heretics is the only team rn that I am 100% confident have what it takes to win an international event but there are others that could do it with 1 roster change or with some improvements. I think the direction of the region is the right one and it will lead to EMEA being the best region in the future but rn I dont have high hopes outside of Heretics/Fnatic if they find form.
Might be controversial because of the international performances on paper but I think its a very positive year for the region, wether EMEA is back for real next year or not will depend a lot on the offseason, what killed EMEA in the first place was teams becoming complacent and keeping players that werent that good while refusing to give chances to our talent in t2, same goes for coaches, many coaches/igls in EMEA are shit but they are there because they have been since the start of Valorant but that will change next year imo.
If you look at teams like Gentlemates, KOI, Giantx, Vitality, NaVi and Liquid they all have talented players to build around but they need to make some changes in coaching staff since their ideas arent good or change IGL/upgrade on 1-2 players but there is a core to build around. We also have KC who showed a great level at KickOff and have a nice young core but you can feel there is something missing that makes them struggle sometimes.
I think the biggest problem is EMEA is how teams play valorant and an intellectual problem not a lack of talent, its that and also how some of the current teams were built almost without any balance and overall just poorly built overall.

I will say what I think teams in EMEA need to do to keep moving forward and reach the levels of the past:
M8: kadavra instead of wailers and hopefully an upgrade over Logan even if its not as needed.
Giantx: -Pipson (not bad coach but his ideas arent t1 level and just needs something fresh), -Redgar, build around purp0/Cloud maybe keep Fit1nho, hoody needs to go too, UCAM is their partner team so I would look at Olizera/Flickless since I think they are t1 level players but most important part will be finding the right coach/igl.
KOI: waste of talent, they have a roster perfect for a 4-1 fast paces style but they are playing the characteristic slow Barbar style, whole coaching staff needs to go + Shadow, the other four I would keep even if I know this will be unpopular among KOI fans, I think starxo should try to build a fast paced style like he had in Acend while developing him as an IGL, grubinho is a solid smokes player and Kamo has potential to be a worldclass explosive type of duelist, Sheydos is still a great player imo and has been looking as a sentinel recently, used to not like him in that role but I think he has developed well, smart player too with experience which will be key, would look a mechanically talented initiator player, would probably get zeek who I think would be a perfect fit for this roster both in terms of personality, already knows starxo and stylistically, the double duelist combination of Kamo+zeek and overall aggressive acend esque style that they could bring would be hard to stop, would love to see this team personally since I can really see it winning trophies.
Vitality: whole team is a mess rn even if there is individual talent, coaching staff is on fraud watch, cender could be a good fragging igl but idk about what igl part, kicks seems like a decent initiator player more as a support than pure firepower, Runner cant play duelist at t1 level so either kick him or make him change roles, sayf might be retiring but I dont personally like his mentality sometimes even if I love the player and like him personally, trexx is just an edge lord, talented player but loser mentality, its just a mess of a team honestly, whoever built this team needs to not ever get a t1 job again and seems like just focused on talented players and a duelist with good t2 stats but that didnt pass the eye test in terms of entrying/mechanics, wont comment since its too much of a mess and u need to be inside to know what to do in this case, good luck Mr.Gorilla.
NaVi: Ange1 I love you but your time is up, 50/50 playstyle and forgets this is valorant not CS, would love to see a slight change in style from ange1 both as a team and him as a player, if he can do that he can stay if not then just become the coach, Ardiis and Shao have some potential as IGLs imo but for different reasons, overall good team that only really needs 1-2 changes + different ideas to compete internationally, I would get a star duelist who can play both jett/raze, if Shao can become an IGL while Ange1 helps him with off the server stuff from a coach role then it would solve a lot of problems for this roster, this team so far has been on the more passive side of the spectrum so idk if a really agressive duelist would be a good fit but I do think they need to evolve their approach a bit more so maybe it works out.
Liquid: whole coaching staff needs to go, mistic needs to 100% go, keiko to be judged by the new coach/igl, jamppi needs to work on becoming a serious flex player, he brings great energy to the team but his individual level and decision making has been shit recently, Enzo should probably get cut too but its a bit hard to judge since idk how much influence he has on team, Nats should be the player they build around, since u need to build a team from scratch I would get bonkar if Fnatic doesnt get him, give him the keys basically, I trust him to be able to build the foundations of a future good team.
Fnatic: Boaster needs to go, wether you keep him as a coach or not is up to them, I am not sure if he would be ready for it and I dont like the way he sees the game, I think it would be better for him to move to a different team and start again from the bottom, will force him to evolve or die basically. I would get bonkar, if chronicle can IGL then make him IGL with Leo as 2nd caller, chronicle as smokes and get patitek?, I feel like the best firepower itw together with Heretics and PRX, I feel like they are missing a personality like Patitek who also has great modern valorant ideas, world class supportive util and his firepower has improved a lot in this masters, he is more than good enough individually for t1, this is just my take on fnatic personally but there are more combinations, the core for me is chronicle, leo and alfajer, everyone else could leave depending on the direction the team takes
KC: n4rrate is worldclass, marteen and tomaszy have been inconsistent but showed flashes of brilliance, sh1n is a very solid smokes player who brings great vibes, engh GOAT coach even if I think KC could have done things a bit differently in how they played at times at masters, would have liked them to play more together sometimes but cant complain tbf, Magnum needs to stop playing sentinel since I think you need a player with really strong firepower in that role (tomaszy), Magnum doesnt give me much confidence as an IGL and captain either, personally I would love if N4rrate can become the IGL with the help of Enghh, if not u would need to scout a fragging igl with potential to try to grow, if n4rrate can become the igl then it makes everything easier and u can just focus on getting some more firepower
FUT: pretty easy ngl, overall decent players but no1 is a true difference maker, u need to sign someone who can be an upgrade on qraxx and bring star power, wo0t would have been perfect but its too late, up to them to do the scouting

Could be, that comeback from g2 I am still shocked they were literally stomping them and looking like easily the best team itw but lost all confidence once g2 started to win rounds and seemed to have no answers almost forgetting of keeping it simple and being composed in order to close it, a bit unlucky that jonahp destroyed them after planting in a 5v3 tho. They might be the best team in the world but their lack of exp shows in those moments against g2 and we dont know how they will react to playing in such a massive arena, would probably favour geng/100t only because of experience but in terms of ability both individually/as a team I think Heretics might be the best

shhh, dont jinx

A bit late to the party, but reading everyone's chats are so confusing to me?? Like it's not hard to use your frontal lobe and understand that what Yinsu said (in her tweet) is because she had to see Boaster (her BOYFRIEND) suffer first hand?? Also, in her tweet, she referenced trying to speak up for Sentinels on her stream, yet faced (some) backlash. Guys, it's YOU, the audience who makes it a hard space for the players and other big roles within the Valorant scene to to speak up in the first place. Even now, Yinsu tried speaking up about it, yet she still faces backlash because "ermmm, what a hypocrite!" I don't see you guys trying?? You call her actions performative, yet people on this idiotic website only "cared" about these players as soon as it was about Yinsu being a "hypocrite". Before this, I saw threads and threads (when relevant) of people shitting on "T0nz", "y0y", "Diamond1", "Botster", "c0m", sacy, etc. Commenting about how they need to be dropped and how they are shit underperformers. This even extends to the coaching team because guess what, you guys also shit on chet which was confirmed that he READS threads on this website. If you guys actually read Yinsu's tweet, you'd also understand that she is aware of her own actions and how she hasn't been a huge advocate for it in the past and kept it mostly private. I understand her comments about Soulcas was unnecessary and unneeded, but weren't you guys the same people agreeing that he needed to be dropped too lmao? Criticising a "hypocrite" from hypocrites is such a stupid thing.

g2 are terrible m8

respectfully this is an ignorant comment

1. Boaster wont be assistant to fucking d00mbros, all "coaches" like d00mbros will be jobless once IGLs like Boaster, ANGE1 and other good t2 igls who dont have the firepower for t1 start transitioning into coaching
2. IGLing in a different language is hard, stax doesnt even have great english so I dont even wanna imagine him calling in a language he doesnt speak that well or has experience calling in

Chronicle IGL might be good tho

he was smart, got derke while he was farming in t2 before other teams and then did the same with alfa, got them to carry him while running his gimmicky strats in a new game and then once he had the core of 2 superstars + him then he got the other two best players in EMEA, was smart and capitalized on the rest of EMEA sleeping and not getting derke/alfa before it was too late since they have bad scouting, his trophies are more thanks to him being smart and anticipating the opposition rather than being a world class igl

both are hard in different ways, you play few matches in valorant so losing those can affect u a lot in terms of mental health but CS can be very mentally draining travelling all around the world especially if u arent from Europe to play events, losing, having problems and then going straight to the next one without almost any breaks, HLTV is brutal too, way worse than vlr imo, in terms of big events u get almost the same hate in CS and Valorant but since there are many events in CS u can get away with having a bad performance in a Major/Kato/Cologne if u did well the rest of the year while in valorant you will get murdered and have to wait months to prove yourself again, I would say the hate is similar overall but in valorant the hate is more one region to another so it can be just a lot of kids trash talking because u talked bad about their regional darling but in cs the community overall/neutrals will shit on you, also CS is more mentally draining and unhealthy in that way, Valorant is just about not choking in the few events u have every year and being able to not let the hate get to you if u do choke while CS is just about enduring how mentally draining playing so many matches while travelling is and being able to perform well during the whole year since u will get judged on yearly stats and not just 1 off event

he cried because he knows how bad his individual level and his calling was, he knows that if he doesnt magically become good overnight his career as a player is almost over, he has said reading what is said online affects him but I think what affects him most is losing and feeling impotent about it thats why he cried and felt so stressed during this whole year, he has never experienced many bad moments as an igl so he isnt used to the frustration of things not working out, sadly for him I think his individual skill is a lost cause and his style as an igl is outdated and not good enough, would be more frustrating if he was doing a good job and they still lost because of small things but his performance and the way he has set up this team is objectively bad so there is no other way than looking at yourself and realizing you werent good enough, personally would feel more frustrated if I lost because of stupid shit while having played better and playing objectively great valorant

we all know he is joking thats why, its not deep and he is a nice guy this is just for the show

best part about kaquka using Twisten death is that he ended his life because of deep depression and anxiety that preceded him even being a player at t1 level, lack of respect to compare deep depression and true anxiety problems that had been going on for years to Boaster getting rightfully critized for his level shown and fans asking for changes, I dont agree with irrational hate and just trying to clown Boaster for the sake of it but she made it seem like those of us who critized him purely as a player giving real arguments and asking for him to get cut are on the same boat as the others, if that was it then no1 can get critized for their performance in a competitive enviorement anymore lmao

his problem is unironically posture, you cant be good mechnically with that posture, also remember him saying he was playing lots of aim labs during off season, mate you arent gonna improve your aim that way, just grind a shit ton of DM, improve your shooting technique/movement and obviously aim too, his aim seems slow and makes me think that its due to his posture/him using the wrong part of his arm to aim, he has 4 monsters on his team who he can ask for advice and fnatic can get him an aim coach or someone who is knowledgeable about posture/mechanics/science behind aiming to help him improve, doesnt help that he only plays this passively without every taking any risks, probably cant do that in matches but I would recommed him to play ranked just focusing on his individual skill, play duelist, disable voice chat and play agressively to get used to making fast decisions and having a better understand of how agressively u can play/improve your timings, you are always gonna improve most if you take a lot of fights thats why I recommed playing a lot of DM + play very agressively in ranked in order to limit test, have more fights and force yourself to improve your instincts and making the right decision in short amounts of time

no wonder we have gone from not losing a single series at first champs and having 3/4 teams in semis to these last 2 years if this guy is the face of the region and cant get criticized when even I without having played since last year have better mechanics

they just be calling everything hate but its also the same people that will support irrational hate on players that dont have family friendly personalities like Boaster because they trash talked their fav team

what part did u not understand?

I am a bad person for pointing out how virtue signaling idiots like you abuse the word hate so your idols dont get critized is wrong? What a shame that sportsmen at the highest level get critized for their performance, we are all worse than Hitler

he is also the worst individual player in the tournament and by some margin, his calling and leadership has been ass too, I think using the excuse of people targeting him because he is the "face of EMEA" is retarded
