they might aswell just sell the stickers and ask people to paste them on their clothes

i mean i dont think we will see any of them on an international stage

i see so many people talk about Demon1 being cocky and allat.. but Optic core players have been so cocky for a year, calling themselves the best in NA which was true last year but EG's performance is better than SEN 2021 and OPTIC 2022 imo simply because these 2 couldnt win Champions.

Do you think Optic players will become irrelevant if they cant produce results in 2024? Just like how OG SEN players like Shazam, Dapr, Zombs, Sinatraa have become irrelevant in 2 years?

i know as a fan i love the chaos of roster changes as it creates storylines but expecting to win big tournaments is kinda tough if a team decides to have 5 different players(superstars) without any cohesion

i really want an indoor map.. its so sunny and outdoorsy might not be good for my health. Also idk when

All the teams that did decent this year had unchanged cores - Fnatic, EG, LOUD, PRX - atleast kept 3 players from last year.

Hope teams that didnt do as well dont end up spending millions on superstars and give a chance to rookies and stick with their core teams

i know man everyone wants PRX to win.. they cannot stomach the fact that EG might be the best NA team all time

i want bias

is he supporting EG? i dont care for analysis i want him to slam his desk every round we lose

any good watchparty or streamer who is going to be openly supporting EG today? I dont want any of "chat i just want a good match, OT yada yada 5 maps yada yada bullshit" while they clap for every PRX round.. I know most NA pros (especially NRG) are jealous as fk right now so i dont want any of that stupid energy

i think this is true cause there are other streamers who are funny aswell, tarik started early and made a community out of watching VCT matches and watchparties.

yeah he can be funny and seems like a nice guy/no ego but he puts in 0 effort at this point and just collecting his paychecks

saw an article which said tarik gets more viewers than main stream

the few times i've watched him - he has no idea who is playing, who they already played, constantly being corrected by his chat, one time he said "runi is the one from collegiate team", has no attention span if it is not sentinels or a team he likes (kangkang/EDG)

some of u vlr demons prob know more than him... im genuinely curious what makes u watch him?

i hope he does and i know its not all ardiis fault but it seems like the chemistry was always on and off. Maybe Navi can benefit with ardiis too

actually heartbroken
dont even care if its reactionary just kick ardiis out, yay has the highest kpr in VCT global events even after not playing a whole year and no he is not 1 trick. i dont even wanna see ardiis play offseason..................... bring 2024 fuck this sht valorant sucks asss

been saying this and honestly dont understand why most people think any franchise org will run after these players after they dropped the ball in a tier 2 tournament. Especially the posts from SEN fans are the dumbest, given the fact they bought people who had a great 2022 for their roster 2023 - they will not even look at Tier 2 losers. NA franchise pays among the highest salaries and has the ability to poach the best from EMEA and Pacific too. Now some broke orgs like C9 might look at them but then mCE would have to agree he made a mistake with the 2 rookies which I dont think he will.

they;re making a huge "fuck spez" which i believe is multiple communities working together.. which in my opinion is cringe.

ur the reyna from my last game

all 3 brazilians can speak decent enough English to give callouts and basic comms that are required to win.. you dont need to give a speech while playing. Most EU teams give call outs in English when half the team's comfort language isnt English.

the whole "fuck spez" has to be the cringiest shit on the internet.. redditors hate the founder/ceo but cant stop using his platform

as yay said he goes for difficult shots in pro play.... as if he is streaming and entertaining his tier 3 subs. when you are playing against other pros you cant just dunk on them lol.. he needs to learn how to play disciplined but yes he has the potential to become the best (again?)

NA + most of EU teams with multiple nationalities like Fnatic, Navi, Liquid are all english speaking. I believe some APAC teams aswell such as PRX, GE

they wont pick koalanoob over a free agent yay, moreover if ardiis does decent in Champs they prob wont change any player

bruh Sentinels is not picking up M80 players especially when they couldnt even win tier 2 tournament.. only possibility is 100t johnqt

what NA franchise team has a duelist/OP role available for him to play? especially for someone who lost Tier 2 tournament

i mean except jakee.. everyone else was playing every role as if they can do that against any decent team and win. whats more unfortunate is mCE is gonna use the cinderella run in the league to somehow reinforce his ideas and lose again next year

what role issues were fixed by mCE and co by removing yay and vanity lol.. deserved.

100% and leaf is usually absent when it matters the most.. dont blame him 100% tho sometimes someone else has to pick up and no one did for c9

mCE is definitely not the scout king that his fans make him out to be.. he was lucky in the league when he was playing mid teams which were either rebuilding or had bad starts. Couldnt win when it mattered the most, and you never can with amateurs

wake up

m80 had a decent performance in a tier 2 league because they had the core players from ghost who have played together... u remove players from that core and place them in sentinels, you wont get the same results. johnqt is not a top tier sentinel, SEN issues are not communication or pancada on sentinel.. its just they need more time together to have the same chemistry as teams who have been together for a long time. Literally every team that has done decent - M80, Guard, NRG, LOUD, EG have all got their core players playing together.

Watch FNS talk about how NRG was struggling because ardiis and S0M were not used to how FNS calls, and they were working on it.

cant win a tier 2 tournament but lets replace the world champions with them. classic 10 year old sen fan

bruh u dont know the first thing about competitive play with ur stupid takes. M80 did decent in Tier2 cause of the core players from Ghost gaming who were playing together for a while. Same goes for the Guard. Literally every tier 1 team that has done decent has a core group which has played together for a while - NRG, LOUD, EG and even other regions such as Fnatic and PRX. If you were expecting SEN to beat any of these, you are delusional. They cannot do it with 2 months of prac when the other teams have been together for ages.

M80 lost a T2 event. no one on that team deserves to replace major and champion winners, if you cannot comprehend that, then anything you say is stupid.

name a single team which is winning and doesnt have a core which has played for more than 6 months.. changing and chopping players wont get you results. team is good enough and needs time together to get better.

Also picking up M80 players is braindead. They lost a tier 2 tournament, replacing them with world champions and major winners is just braindead

ardiis clears cned

we have 1 Brazil 2 NA and now they want 1 LATAM team in Champs... the Americas league is shamelessly rigged

no

bruh literally every team that wins anything has a core which has worked together for some time.. johnqt and nismo been together for Ghost which translated to M80.. what impact did eeiu have on NRG? Sen will keep losing if they change more. Just keep this team and give it time

agreed but that shouldnt increase their stocks right.. at the end of the day they lost in T2. How can you trust them to win you in T1? especially when you can get T1 players from other regions

unlucky for them, but i dont think any T1 NA team will be picking them up.

For one, we know after Sacy and Pancada that teams cant just pick players and plug them and expect to win since 0 chemistry. Moreover m80 lost a T2 tournament regardless of how they performed the whole year so who wants that baggage..? Also not sure if they have a buyout.

NA salaries are the highest, they can easily poach good performing T1 players from EU or APAC if they really want to.

all losers + id be worried about c9 roster

i think the smart move is to keep the roster.. but yeah if there is a team which makes money despite losing, its SEN

yeah right lets remove world champions and major winners and get people who couldnt win Tier 2 tournament..

NRG is chilling with s0m

the team has changed since tarik invitational, this particular one with Marved needs time. chemistry takes time to build. i dont think chopping and changing further will bring different results.

bruh nobody wins overnight or over 2 months.. the team needs more time together. there is a reason why guard won or even fnatic wins

stop hyping any team that beat these two..... doesnt mean shit. Literally the worst in Americas and can lose to MIBR and Furia if everything was on the line.

they got in cause carlos dropped the ball for G2

they cannot put the burden of calling on leaf when the man is top fragging on 3 different roles.. Zellsis must be the second caller and it seems he is just brawn no brain

i dont even care if he said it out of spite, cause it is true.. Lotus was their best map in the league and NRG pull out a mirror comp which they never played and u know what happen next
