so corny bro i cant with ts some of the segments are so dumb

nah they dont even know whos playing duelist for them apparently they have even tried c0m igl and kingg duelist in scrims

it will not be close

uh that team is apparently already dead pre season bro i would NOT have any expectations they dont even know what role each player is going to be on for the season they have tried everyone on duelist besides c0m and still cant win a scrim

wolves? favored? bro has not watched them play a game surely

it doesnt matter the roster is already dead from what ive heard they have won a single scrim all month but im pretty sure it varies map to map they have been trying everyone and nothing is working

problem is nova is playing like the 2nd best team in china right now and wolves well is wolves

100% agree we are just rating maps and players honestly bc its so early on. imo the only 2 teams ive been impressed with every map they played has been Nova and EDG. (which is crazy that the best 2 teams imo are in cn so far). tbf a lot of teams have looked good on 1 map but you can tell so many teams havent had much practice like kru today was soooo bad and mibr i still think the rosters have potential. the only truly bad teams i think we have seen so far are koi, liquid, 2G, maybe EG (that pearl they played was atrocious but the split was not too bad), and then bottom china like tec, jdg, tyloo, ag

100% 100t looked better in their last match but so far the americas level is pretty low across the board

temperature check after both of their games.
imo id say NRG since 100t showed way more it should give them the advantage

yep americas so far is looking pretty weak

nah they only played redbull with 3 days of prac not really anything to go off of

sen bouta go 0-2 bro 🤣 tf you mean champs? hopefully redux saves you guys

we got like 1 good team in americas so far praying g2 and furia are good for the sake of the region

SEN REDUX! rip bang

ill be the first person to say when im impressed with a team im not baiting.
i have hope for sen, g2, and furia (im literally a g2 flair)
maybe nrg was an off day but it still was not good which is what the entire point of what im saying is
lev have won a single scrim all month they are literally the laughing stock of all pros right now i wouldnt have much hope but i guess we will see
100t looked 'insane' is insane they didnt look bad but mibr looked like they had 1 day of practice it was never going to be close with how they played
im not cherry picking teams i was flaming koi and liquid both in a previous post they looked shit but im not kidding when i say apeks macro is better than anything we have seen in americas so far and yeah bottom china is shit but teams who most people didnt expect anything from like nova would legit 2-0 every team we have seen in americas with ease so far.

nova are actually good they would easily stomp every team we have seen in americas so far

im so serious when i say boom could have beat nrg yesterday

i really hope so furia on paper look good and from everything ive heard

loud arent bad but they arent playing great its more about the teams they are going against. they can def shoot their guns tho

mibr were so bad you cant even chalk 100t up to being good like it was seriously never going to be close with how mibr played

that too i mean seriously im not sure how anyone can say americas is looking good right now

EGs pearl which was their map pick was so fucking bad i cant forgive it

what is there to cope about? im just saying what im seeing

loud is not good bro they are just aimers this is mediocre 2024 team stomps a 2021 team

americas is NOT the best region bro this shit is terrible there hasnt been a single consistently good team on more than one map so far and the lows are so fucked like what is kru doing? 2G????? mibr??? EG???? its bad bro

https://www.vlr.gg/pickem/23ce211b

i could have picked games with my eyes closed and gotten better than this

bet on nova to beat wolves they will curb stomp them

idk bout EG bro that pearl was dreadful

i mean even if they are all good its still looking disappointing across the board at least for kickoff so far

EG on pearl was trash, loud looked mid overall, c9 looked decent, nrg looked bad, 2g looked terrible, 100t looked decent, mibr looked terrible its not because of upsets but nobody either than loud really outperformed what you would expect from them. a lot of teams just didnt look good

maybe but judging from opening matches i would say emea looked better just across the board. but you cant tell me 2G and MIBR didnt play as bad if not worse than koi and liquid

i mean imo koi and liquid looked the worst in emea and if you compare that to how 2G and MIBR played its really not a big gap at all 2G looked sooooooo fucking bad

i know we havent seen the top 4 from last year play yet but thus far emea looks far better than americas

giantx incident

fuck me

you guys should try to convince them to rebrand

😭😭😭 it isnt even just their valorant roster thats crazy

every year they put together rosters that have potential and every year they shit the bed (ik its map one and im overreacting but still thus far its true)

12 days to prep and watch everyone play is insane how is the bracket like this

he was their 6th man

i think kc were pretty underwhelming on haven but their abyss and bind looked a lot more drilled but you also gotta consider vitality have probably never scrimmed that bind comp and to put up 9 was honestly not bad at all i dont think either team is much better it was a really close game

yes xeus is an upgrade his movement is nuts

if nrg lose this

the kc comp is still good bro i get the ideas it just has more weaknesses

the core idea of the comp is still the same its just different combos and honestly the kc comp is worse imo

genuinely that team is so good their deadlock vyse has spread to emea now i really hope we get to see them at bangkok

vitality look pretty good but kc are running the deadlock vyse that nova cooked up and they are playing it well its really oppressive and hard to play against

nova cooked a masterclass with this everyone gonna copy it soon enough

looking like cryo out there (cryo is also shit)
