keep grubinho

this is an assterclass in calling
idk why we go so slow sometimes

we are allergic to planting, watching us prolong planting and retakes is painful asf

idk where this comes from, its a very unique issue

yeah mostly about the team being terrible and how much the owner sucks and stuff

i think theres other reasons but i dont like global esports because i hear a lot of them although they dont win very much. it would be like if i always heard input about bbl or mibr

g2 do

global so old for what

hes recycled but hes been all around for so long i think hes like a new player again

nah icebox should have victor on sage/harbor instead of ethan

or actually
kj- victor
viper- fns
harbor- s0m
crashies- gekko
ethan- kayo

whats your input

imagine him calling in russian. he will be like fns of emea

i just looked at d3ffo tier 2 stats and he is doing quite well now

i had to fit kaajak he is the future of emea. but yes pati would be better to start but this is a team built for long term and champions 2026

LMAO what would you prefer mortadelo

im sure zeek would love to represent your team

he got banned until 27th

KOI:
keep the coaching staff, idc about their strategy but i really enjoy watching them and their synergy

DROP: sheydos, not bad player but his time has come, he can join giantx and replace hoody
DROP: shadow, bad igl, bad shooter. i like him as a person but he is not good enough
ADD: kaajak, yes we will have two duelist but we can teach kaajak initiator, he already plays gekko and is goated
ADD: kamyk, great flex player, plays every role at a high level. once given the keys i think it will help with his mental and he will unlock
DROP: starxo, get zeek to igl if possible (prob wins ascension but if not he should come)
ADD: zeek, again if he doesnt win ascension
Final team: kamo, kaajak, zeek, grubinho, kamyk
Expectations: insanely strong team identity and passion. make all 3 international events is the expectation.

GIANTX:
idk the coaching staff, maybe beg engh to come back

DROP: hoody, washed, sheydos will be available, easy decision
DROP: f1tinho, bad player
ADD: sheydos, redgar and purp0 link up, he will shine in a new team, revitalization and such
ADD: d3ffo, put him on duelist and move purp0 to initiator/duelist
final team: d3ffo, purp0, cloud, redgar, sheydos
Expectations: prime gambit but without the good players xD. should make champions playoffs

im not bringing it up as an impressive thing, just as experience and history

actually nvm wtf is he doing i forgot this is 8.10

comp only works on 8.11

its okay because after my long illustrious career with stints in collegiate, tier 2 and even tier 1 secondary and maybe even primary caller i will be a vct coach like barbarr

https://www.vlr.gg/359708/new-map-metas

barbarr just stole my idea

koi saw this post and customized it

this is the greatest form of flattery

apeks 2023- 4 igls
acend 2021- 3 igls

any other teams like this?

can be zeek if he doesnt ascend. zeek also good caller brings ideas to the team. he second called a team to champions in 2021 and took over igling for a bit in 2023 on hereshits

shadow is so bad oml

we woulda beat karmine corp if he didnt pi 2/3 maps (the map he didnt pi was like 5/16)

sentinel can be kamyk

no he is second caller and his stats arent usually this bad

navi played good at champs tho, got group of death and made it very competitive and enjoyable

apeks play in a shit league. most of their players were ditched from tier 1 for lack of performing

molsi, avova and soulcas were t1 drops and hype is shit

kaajak carries that team atm. they had a good team 2023 but right now they are not good enough for franchise

clearly we spent all that time during shanghai working on our pistols

starxo duelist gimmick in 2024. it is not 2021 or 2020 or wtv koi camp thinks it is. starxo only plays when he can go kayo second entry

kamo is showing more and more promise. poland can make good duelists (kaajak, kamo, jas, maniek, zeek raze) and kayo players (zeek, pati, starxo, kamyk) but def not igls (only buld)

starxo duelist in 2024 ... havent we learned since 2021?

profek vs grubinho is tough to pick
weakness is def starxo igl, i think id put zeek igl and starxo co caller. starxo doesnt really belong in tier 1 now but i still think he can provide value with vibes or something
and maybe kaajak duelist

this team would be very strong but it wont exist because gonext will win ascension
probably need to add grubinho for profek and try for patitek for zeek

navi also got second in the emea league which is a very difficult environment to get results in
and 5th place aint bad, worse than their tokyo performance but better than their champs performance

this why you listen to bladee while browsing vlr, so you dont get understimulated

single elim doesnt mean theres a fraud winner, only that there might be good teams which exit early or bad teams which go on runs, (talon, paper rex for example) but not bad teams winning the whole thing

fnatic won, fnatic was the best team at the time. loud were second best and got second as they deserved
drx and navi fell off but got second in their regions right after lock//in, showing that at the time the best teams got the best results

sure the tournament wasnt a good way to judge teams, as some teams got unlucky with their bracket position. the tournament did not have the same competitive integrity as a masters or champions, but if lock//in was a masters with a lower bracket i think the top teams would have stayed VERY similar

lock//in was the first international event of franchising held in sao paolo

i have big exam tomorrow and i am not studying to watch koi win

is this a good decision vlr ?

thank you cloudberry very good comment

i will reveal mine in 10 days

silvers

why do u have 32k views

NVM im retarded

im sure navi fans are absolutely buzzing with this years format

(im pretty sure) that if navi win their next 5 !! games they will still be one game from being eliminated from playoffs and therefore champions 2024

they would be 11-2 on the year having made 0 events and still be a game off elimination, if they lose that game they would have only lost 3 series in the entire valorant champions tour 2024 without even making an event.

why single elim playoff formats? why such a short season? why so few games? why is it that with so few games everything is still so crammed together? gen g won an event and had to play a league game a week later, before having to prepare for a major patch with map and agent changes only week(s) after that?

navi anti strat kings no way they lose a 3rd time

only worrying thing is heretics are hard to anti strat cause they never play with the same team but still

yours is 6/10

sry for linking westjett video but i think it would tell you everything

if you dont wanna watch it was basically twitter ranked drama and it was retarded but its about shahz gf

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0-dxCpUnSk

yeah its pretty stupid cause i can literally hear estrella comming. i only watched like 2 minutes of the video but he is talking simple things

jojos

okay but did you look at him in 2023. he was the plays were built around him they would admit it

yeah but when you shoot reyna you win

iso changes natural instinct of shooting

cause a change like this is terrible game design, you shoot someone in the head and they dont even die. it breaks everything that goes into tac fps, it fundamentally changes the bottom line of shooting better. this isnt comparable to chamber meta or anything, this just makes no sense in a tac fps game

i think the odds are probably worse than one in a billion cause we still have to play heretics and navi

i think we will do well tho
