Meiy (Duelist)
Dep (Recon)
JoXJo (Flex)
Minty (Smokes)
Caedye (Sentinel)
mCe (Head Coach)
Vorz (Assistant Coach)
this would feed generations
its gonna be kinda weird when in week 2 we have multiple teams locked in for playoffs
i do see some good stuff from dfm coaches in game occasionally unlike zeta but yeah the timeout usage is just ass.
yeah its a real shame that japanese valorant is so popular yet the level the support players are at is just not good enough to where you can make a great team. it really is at least in tier 1 just Meiy, gyen, and dep. Riddle Order has to win ascension for japanese valorant to have a future that team actually has good potential. also the coaches on zeta and dfm need to be upgraded even more then the players imo.
😂😂 the only one you could even make an argument for is JoXJo and mayyybe anthem but anthem already got his chance in t1
i agree with what you said just not the part about kickoff they were shambles in kickoff but at least this time they have the excuse new coach and player plus only 4 weeks of prac makes sense that their map pool would be weak. as long as you see improvement match to match i wouldnt be too worried.
hahah the counter jinx lmao i see u bro u not slick
for everyone saying its over etc etc and genuinely believe that you guys are just stupid anyone who was expecting NRG to automatically be better than C9 from making roster changes doesnt understand the game. it was still close NRG blundered map 3 round 3 which got them snowballed for the entire half. these are things you should be expecting from a new team. they honestly besides fracture looked decent better then kickoff for sure. in terms of actual concerns i would just say getting FNS off of senti for perma breach should be a priority for them i just dont see how they can play this meta with a weak player on senti. its a long season regardless and they make playoffs as long as they beat furia and one of lev, mibr, or g2. which especially lev by week 5 is very plausible.
C9 will no longer be group merchants? dude is delusional to think c9 wont look decent all of groups and then shit the bed in playoffs. its the c9 way.
going into stage 1 more so then any of the previous years teams are making immense roster changes almost as if its a mini rostermania. do you think any of these teams will be successful this split? i personally do for some but its interesting that 20/48 teams are making roster moves and some of them are teams that went to bangkok. Also why do yall think so many teams are making roster changes compared to previous years?
just going to list out the teams
Americas: 5
NRG -bonkar -verno +mikes +brawk
2G -pryze +askia
FURIA -mwzera +pryze
MIBR -nzr +verno
LEV -nataNk +rossy
EMEA: 4
VIT -trexx +CyvOph
FNATIC -elma +d00mbros
TL -kamyk +serial
M8s -robbiebk +kamyk
APAC: 5
GenG -yoman +ash +suggest
RRQ -estrella +crazyguy
TLN -governor -ban +killua +thyy
GE -deryeon +patrickwho
PRX +Patmen
CN: 6
NOVA -swerl +obone
DRG -tvirusluke +cangshu +NathanD
FPX -NathanD -berlin +shr1mp
EDG +Jieni7
AG -nizhaoTZH -bunt +who the fuck knows
TEC +tvirusluke +coco
i agree fnatic will comeback i dont think they are winning an international this year
ok nrg is crazy they have already performed better than nrg by miles we will never see a disaster like that again. but i agree with u on everything else.
yep heretics maybe kcorp are the only chance the region has to win anything this year
do you still believe in vitality after the benching of trexx? i do not personally but to each their own i guess.
CN is pretty much edg and then trace, blg, xlg, drg, and nova all of these teams could make masters it just comes down to form. trace and xlg are more macro based where as blg, nova, and drg are more about player quality. the rest of the teams are pretty ass.
RRQ and PRX are not doing anything imo. prx is basically realizing their roster is no longer the best at shooting so they are trying pivot more into the meta but their players cant play meta agents well. i mean they have jingg on smokes and mindfreak sentinel with a sub ready to replace them at any moment. as for rrq -estrella for +crazyguy might be the biggest troll pacific has seen in awhile.
yes basically maps where they play double duelist look good maps where they dont they look like shit its a very map dependent team but the break kind of worries me for their future this season look at sentinels last year. pacific isnt a walk in the park like china is for edg and all the teams who didnt make bangkok have an advantage going into regular season.
seriously dont see enough discourse about this they just benched their best performing player (besides derke but personally i thought trexx was more impactful) for a tier 2 player. the reason being trexx criticizing sayf's calling after the loss keep in mind these players have had multiple years together and sayf called in guild. as for the replacement natank is avaliable idk if they forgot but hes definitely better lmao. ive lost all faith in this team going forward.
t1 won i do not care we will win the next one
t1 is my 4th the only reason i dont have them top 3 is because they havent been scrimming since their win they all went on vacation and they are only good on 4 maps of which 1 is leaving the pool. and t1 did NOT farm apac they barely got past boom. apac in general is probably the most competitive region i think its very hard to stay on top. as for drx i just think they peaked early with their understanding of tejo i still think they will be good i just dont see them winning their region again and have more hope for global and talon.
apeks is like at best a top 8 team but i respect the loyalty. and prx is cooked fam they dont even know who their starting jingg is on smokes and mindfreak is on sentinel its a mess over there maybe champs but toronto is not for them.
thats c9 and vct korea isnt real just because 3 of the top 4 teams for 1 event happened to be korean doesnt make it vct korea lmao. saying that i do think all of the korean teams will finish top 6
bro swapped 3 teams for my 4th places lmao
FUCK i thought this would be genius bait but im caught in the first 5 mins
vitality as soon as they lost a game turned into complete ass and then we hear they are trying to bench trexx probably because he doesnt like how the team is being lead. mechanics can only get you so far and im saying this as a fan of the team.
AMERICAS:
G2
coldest take lmao
MIBR
im a little concerned by the verno addition comms wise but i have a lot of faith in frod that he wouldnt let a decision like that be made if it didnt benefit the team and considering how they did with only weeks of practice in kickoff i have a lot of hope for them
NRG
i think this team will take awhile to heat up like i could see them placing 4th in their group pretty easily but as the split goes on i think they will overtake a lot of teams
EMEA:
Heretics
meta suits them + i have a lot of faith in all of them to bounce back considering all of last year
FNATIC
removed the fraud + meta suits them + emea is a shit region + picked up a good coach
Liquid
i know people are confused by the roster move but serial is insane and moving nats to initiator makes sense considering the problems they were having in the comms before
APAC:
GenG
i think foxy9 is terrible and adding in ash and suggest are good moves imo it just comes down to how they execute and they were already top 3 pacific with a dysfunctional roster so i dont see how they will get worse
Talon
they get to comm in thai now which should help their biggest weakness in team cohesion and as long as the rookies dont melt they should be a comfortable top 3 team by the end of the split
Global
this is probably my biggest punt in terms of no real evidence but this roster has the talent its just about getting it to mesh and i think with the full roster now and months of practice they should be contenders for the top 3 and abyss is out of the map pool which is honestly why they didnt place better in kickoff they just got exposed so early on.
CN:
EDG
duh
BLG
pretty decent team in a region full of shitters
DRG
vo0kashu gaming + good ideas
Told her im big like bieber she aint believe me SEEYUH 🤯
new post sum bs 3am west? did bro pass geography?
whos calling do you guys think is better? personally im going with munchkin.
this game is not cs2. yes its not perfectly balanced and never has been but bro its gotten a lot better over time. the players have gotten better but if you compare it to early valorant utility its much better. and what would you have them do? nerf ever single character to have a 8-9 orb ult and 3 ability charges max? like everyone would say how the utility feels watered down and not impactful. its really hard to get the right balance and imo the draw to this game isnt the gun play its the agents.
this is true the map designs on like all but ascent have this problem. haven, lotus, and fracture kind of get around this from having high impact early skirmishes where people dump a lot of util but 100% the map design is a problem when you have maps like abyss and icebox somehow in the map pool which just arent competitive made maps. idk what the map designers are smoking but the benefits of letting the com make maps would be astronomical for the games longevity.
all it comes down to is the games they game they came from have limited utility and as people have gotten better the utility usage is the thing people have improved on the most and yes it can be overwhelming its not perfectly balanced but regardless its just a take that doesnt make a whole lot of sense.
too obvious bro try to sell some believable bait like t1 arent the best team itw
yeah last year it was edg and fpx who were competitive now its just edg but the league actually has competition for the other spots its like blg, trace, xlg, nova, drg are all pretty decent
thank you id be saying this even if i wasnt a g2 fan
this makes sense he had a lot of health problems during kickoff and they performed well with obone so im not surprised hes good but yeah this just makes more sense with coms in mind
macro, consistency, micro, gameplans, meta read. i am not saying t1 is like way worse all im saying is if you played the gf 10 times t1 would win like 4/10
double map ban was barely a disadvantage for them they both are bad at fracture and bind. it only effected them on abyss either then that it would have been the same veto. also they did play better in the bo5 thats not what im saying at all.
stax played a better gf then meteor but yeah
