she is a insane defense agent but her offense is meh on duelist that isn't worth it being less explosive then jett on entry is BAD
not much to do she can stay a niche duelist tho we dont need every duelist to be meta we have a good raze,yoru,neon,jett split rn

a nice QOL chance for teams who are willing to run it is letting pre place tp and it only starts counting when barriers are down more useful stronger at her niche which is contesting early space maybe give ult stim buff on her dash (if its too OP make it a single dash only thing) this would make it a perfect duelist split with Passive--> aggro but i wouldn't go for it cause 2 hyper entries and 2 passive-ish duelist is good enough for comp variety and this meta IS NICE with alot of good agents to be used
waylay-yoru-jett-neon-raze

TLDR; t0rmid is good at everything that isn't actually coaching his team he has had too many chance and too many talents notably VS/DRX core and a roster that could've easily won bankok (mako igl free1ng hyunmin etc) but he decided to play a singular comp which is a accurate to the entire history of drx good players good talent good comps flip floping with roles and comps last minute and showing little to no improvement via coaching all of his strengths are replicated with a AC and a Scout 3/3 on players leaving him and getting 10x better

yeah XD i defo need to learn how to write but fun fact this improvement before when i thought vomited smthing on vlr bwfore it would be a full block of text with nothing else between i need to remember to TLDR most of my rants too late now

rate it unknown trash

i mean if you want to stab someone you wouldn't mind hitting them with ur car so u go full in on giving stabber a good stab not that concerned about scalper nor the car tbh

we are the best of the worst cause most of us watch the game that being said i dont usee twt or reddit

and funny thing is all of his "strengths" you can get with a decent AC and a goodish scout(good pick ups and good comp theory not direct composition picks straight theory crafting) he simply fails at the actual coaching part cause otherwise he would be the most cursed coach in vct history good talent good flexibility good aim good decision good comps decent anti player ambition

followed by random players switches random role switches and random map pool changes and little to no improvement aside from maybe one player picking up agent nicely again AC or exp player into coach fixes that they had flaws dont get me wrong but that is where the coaching comes in which hasn't come in cause those player feel like they are improving on there on there own instead of getting coached which to oversimplify should speed up the process ALOT from our perspective

(coming into bankok they had a 5/7 map pool and where the best KR team and starting bankok they had a singular comp for every map changing out there good and bad maps into the easiest read of all time had sayf looking like a good caller they wouldn't have won so i wont complain too much)

there is no excusing him he has had the best KR org that every player wanted to be on in vct up until gen.g T1 won so up until 2025 he had 1st or 2nd pick on every talent Crazy investment and the best KR core itw even now with gen.g staggering a lil with ash,foxy9 he has his pick of the best KR talent seemingly a region that competes if not outright beats turkish/CIS/NA(with CIS being the hardest imo) talent in most if not all categories with down side of bad mental which is easily fixable with a performance coach drx already have meh mental so they need it regardless he is hated because he is a good coach his strengths as much as i down play them are GOOD strengths to have he needs to lock in and stop tripping over himself constantly alecks had the similar problems when he changed comps will nilly when prx made it those two GF where they lost but he improved historically t0rmi he is a good coach 21-22 but he hasn't shown much if any improvement at all sometimes it feels like a0t0mn can clear him which with his experience should never happen

rob him 100%

just good enough to be the 4th-5th player dropped on c9 with vic he is 3rd but mitch net got him covered
even then he is quite flexible and is the vibes guy in NA its quite valuable most good players are quite and reserved in that region more so then other regions

sayf on senti/2nd duel ig

i wouldn't go that far he does care but if he is smart he wont care about it more then his stream

s0m tbh took too much time off from streaming hopefully he still has a stream to get back to no amount of hunger can account for the huge loss his streaming would be ngl

nah his flex is nice and 2nd duel is nicer he could've had success 25 he bit off more then he could chew with igl + flex + weird role split

i retract my comment W choose ngl he still had a couple years as a val pro but if he has uni money and enough to support him self thru uni good for him he should lowkey apply for one of those NA uni's with VCL teams would save alot of money there might get payed im not that informed

dont let him igl and you are good he should've been in over kicks ngl probably still good ass duelist or flex when not igl'ing if this his choose he shouldn't igl ever again first time igl giving up cause he isn't a good igl immediately yikes

nvm he is going to uni good for him he should consider one of those college VCL uni's could save alot of money and maybe a better education path with said money plus those uni players might get payed sso income also

A player getting an ace in one round and no kills for 3 rounds after is extremely memorable and looks amazing in the eye test, but a player that gets 1 kill 4 rounds in a row is probably way more impactful but not something that is noticeable on the eye test

your point is correct stats favor passive players eye test favors aggro players but getting a pick 4 rounds in a row is noticeable by eye test eye test is better cause passive players also can benefit from it via good play getting aggro when needed which shows good play you see more with eye test they aren't even eye test tier 1 stats tier 2 aggro play is valued more (lurks,entrypulling picks out of thin air>contact,info on the other side of the map) cause its harder to do easier to mess up and it can be messed up even when you do it perfectly while passive play gets minimal consistent value both are needed to win a match aggro gets more value when not messed

so via eye testing seeing a player gets a ace one round and not get a kill after for 3 rounds is more important to the match trade all you want if u lose the round that is zero value while a ace is 100% value on that round

pop offs will always be memorable and for good reason a players ability to pop off and solo carry a round saving ults and util and eco is much more important then trading 4 rounds in a row you are expected to trade no coach goes yeah el diablo the plan on this round is you get 5 a coach can put a player in set up in good spot to trade 4 rounds in a row both are having GOOD impact but thee eco boost alone makes the ace more valuable

they have tested him on iso double duel on NRG it didn't workout apparently also good stats dont = good duelist verno is in the best position for kills/stats playing a fully support role like leo,crashies

once learns to adapt to t0rmids fraudulence he will be the goat KR duelist finding consistency in a inconsistent team will make him a battle tested goat he will have teams throwing money at him in 26 or 27 for sure getting past t0rmid is 2/2 on making goats

notice how you said "all year" instead of at champs the actual important part not fodder 🥱

ngl they would be stupid not to he is a guaranteed good player coming into every year on the usual most important role

i think most are getting 20k which is still insane that is like a low end doctor salary

that is crazy no wonder oxy is just chilling at C9 job security + decent pay if it is 20k per month 240K a year to play valorant is insane ngl
i would fully invest everything i have except essentials

it hasn't even been a year (nvm its been 11 months) since he got 3rd at champs and the baitpas thing is incorrect he is fully willing to entry LEV played slow and didn't put him in spots to entry this team has been competitive with the worse problems then NRG 2024

cause they are that talented they have verno on igl cause nzr couldn't shoot in the fps game just a bad year it happens not to a goat contender which aspas isn't anymore since what kept him there was non stop conssistent insane performances as a individual

hot take: they need to drop verno this is a BR team i know he is too talented to drop but factually speaking this team would be 100x better while full BR cause cortezia and xenom with comfort is scary ngl they are insane so is artzin all we need is a good flex igl (Saadhak)

i think he should take cortezia and xenom to a new team with a vibess guy and igl causee thesee 3 fucks are talented to the max they just need someone there to hype them up and calm them down

he should go chill in CN for awhile i think its a good mental reset plus those chinese fucks can shoot like there is no tmrw so his mechs will get better or go back to form ssmae thing for apac but CN has bigger bags

difference is most of suggestions on here are meant to be end of season instead of direct subs thats why most of them have current 17yr olds
(only in severe casees is it a actual in season suggestion)
the fact t0rimid is worse at roster moves then vlr says alot tho....
problem is val has a pattern of "new" rosters having success but what most teams are missing is building a actual good core to add upgrades to first (fnc,prx,gen.g coaching staff + meteor eg already built jawg boostio i think sen tenz zekken sacy + history with zelsis EDG fo sho) there aree new teams that win but those are made by getting lucky when the best talent opens up T1 gen.g kinda again cause nobody believed at first then we saw em play probably alot of them in pre-franchise

its mid season dawg call out the single elim format or sumn it cannot be mickey while being between a masters and the most important stage of the year every team is gonna try regardless since at worst its AMAZING prac against international teams

these EU jinxes have been getting worse and worse we get it bro your team hasn't won like 600 days or sumn chill champs is free with EU looking its best rn with TL no role issues and TH getting wo0t on a 2nd entry agent he can play and 4th is up in the air which is a good thing

they finally got him on has actual role and he plays well no way

he is getting used more on maps that he shouldn't so probably not he has the best flash in the game best oneways in the game and movement too much too good in pro play that being said don't nerf him cause fuck astra boring as shit meta clove brim aren't real agents harbor is chill ig viper is whole ass senti

he could get away with neon/raze but both of them got worse from him for some reason even tho there play styles haven't change at all

i mean they all fell off except the guy that stuck with potter (jawg) they made the run with her and never did much after except for maybe c0m with Lev and we all agree that he was there worst player

i dont think mini (goat coach) can make icy nature consistent/good this entire team except yay(1st year with ZERO copium) is the bottom tier of talent for a reason you can never get 4-5 players actually playing the video game

potter is over hyped but imo she is closer to properly rated cause she makes bottom tier 1 talent work they want bar for bar with G2 and would've 100% won if yay didnt try to do a smth cosplay mid match ever since kick off they have had one non competitive match
(meaning from the start of kick off they bare minimum had a close game either took a map had a OT or at worst 10-13 which is competitive map)

but imo with the talent quality she gets at EG these results should be worse is she a miracle worker no but tbh with how much she does with the LEAST given to her its impressive more then a good coach with a good talent pool doing well imo

nah they won
https://www.vlr.gg/213198/fnatic-vs-team-liquid-champions-tour-2023-emea-league-gf

prime fnatic lost to TL no?
BBL works better as C9 ngl a win is a win

that singular loss was against Eu C9 TL so theey lose these ngl cause C9 are the 1# group stage demons

chamber is the easiest anti of all time C9's comp can anti it mid game with there mid ass igl
tejo would've been a nice suprise pick outside of NA g2 still use em still

so he used yoru 1 time a year he has 3 uses

i still dont understand how he can't "vyse" she is legit the most aggro senti and she has a awp map (lotus) she matches him perfectly + a flash

KRU look better these calls are sso buns

that was full troll when he mirrored tenz

so we had comp issues and role issues for fun yeah ur not prx lil vro

aspas champs buff ur cooked bro

not really tbh especially in G2 comps its only fade who can help him out even in tejo breach they used most of there utility to combo with each other instead of yoru but they step him up more

yoru is used as canon fodder in all his comps except 2nd duel

lz smokes igl is a nice split he gets a furia offer bare minimum

nah G2 is walking around and winning every fight

no he isn't perfect his entries are mid but he enables some insane comps other then that he is crazy at everything else he is 3-4th best awper in the game

i think we just drop the rroster spike doesn't deserve this

lz clears on igl no?

spike needs to learn raze and they need to play perma neon/raze maps im pretty sure he has a decent yoru too and if he can play all these duelist he can jett easily i think he is flexing for his teammates and when he is that talentedd that should NEVER happen genuine aspas level talent
