Madrid is in better hands 💀

can't, he just turned 16

2 out of the top4 teams don't have an experienced duelist

I could make the case on why I disagree. But I’m gonna go go a different route. Name me 1 more better team than them this year. You’ve named 3 so far

Mb, KPI ascending is the closest we're gonna get to seeing a Russian team

If we're going off of fanbase yea, they're probably the smallest in the league

They are pretty big overall as an org, for example, Grefg, one of the owners peaked 2.3M viewers on twitch a couple years ago. It obviously doesn't translate like that to Valorant but they have Mixwell who is huge as a Content Creator. Fn and COD is where they have the most fans tho. But they've been decent in Cs and are in LEC now

It was harder last year because he wasn't making much content while playing, but if they had a bad year this year they would have a lot of support for sure

Idk what image you have of TH but they have a shit tone of fans. Giants is by far smaller for example

Nothing further from the truth lmao. They merged with Rogue but Rogue is who made the LOL roster that went to complete shit, and look at them now they’re absolute dogshit, nothing to do with KOI

And they have started bad the summer split with MAD but they have been a top 3 team in EU this year overall so idk wtf you’re saying. Also, it’s mostly MAD staff and Movistar Riders staff in charge of most of those decisions which have proven to be extremely successful orgs

It's also fair to assume if won't be like this forever, they had a bad season for external reasons but this exact thread could have been made last year about TH and KC

yeah I think I remember, can still sign him in the future if he wants. it's best to ascend

mas vale pájaro en mano que ciento volando quiero decir xD

Idk what contract they have with him but they could loan him if it's multi year deal. But regardless, no, that's stupid, if they can ascend now they have to, nothing guarantees they will be able in the future. Plus Russian talent pool is crazy anyway

Parties became available 1 week before split 2, no team is making changes at that point, it's stupid

They still got some work to do but they've been pretty convincing lately, they will 100% be one of the favorites

Yeah it was but they're still dogshit

Glad to be right but Belgium is just sad rn

lukaku xDDD

no point in shooting if there's no goalie

Nah bro wtf is that comp, that is some serious PRX shit

They're the third best league

That's because he's probably a strat caller. Many IGL's call the plan for the round at the start and then rest of the team does the mid rounding, or simply follow the initial plan

Not very good English is possible and it sucks, not gonna argue with that

Mf they don't put the IGL comms in the videos. Look at a TH comm video for example, Boo barely speaks at all either

Mixwell has been welcoming all of them into the club on tweeter ever since it happened

Mrs were quick af

NRG first split

Hard disagree
Obviously crazy mechanics with no game sense won’t take you anywhere unless you’re the best in the world at it. But that is just like crazy game sense won’t take you anywhere with no mechanics unless you’re the best in the world at it.

But overall having a bit of both it’s way more useful to be crazy good mechanically, and that is precisely why there are so many amazing players that are reconverted duelists.

It’s way easier to teach Aspas where to smoke than it is to teach a great smokes player to shoot like aspas

Yes, but mid season like Woot

Kiles looks finally adapted. This is the firepower upgrade they were looking for with the change, rest is not fully figured out yet tho

Bro what, he's 21 xD

I believe he was literally picked up by KPI weeks after his 16th birthday, so it’s not like he’s close to 17 either, long time until we see him

Arda Guler will carry

xDDD

My first thought was poor Gusstz when I read it

purpo got signed mid split and they managed to replace him with a ranked demon. Situation is very similar, KPI just chose the better solution. But yeah it sucks

there is no action to be taken

Exact same thing happened to KPI, but they managed to find an arguably even better replacement

Just wanted to swing by and say hi

Twitch is better tho

They're bound to go full Korean sooner or later

don't think they've got a Faker tho but yes, same style

They have a core of 3 players all coming from their academy. Only team in the world to do that and to pull it off successfully is crazy. Mf are literally creating players for themselves

Don't you think there's a step before that one

KOI is not making changes

You mfs need to stop wanting to bench IGL's for non IGL's

Ofc, he was FA and is back now

I was kidding ngl. 12k is a lot but I'm not the one to complain xD

12k, too many bro

fr

No lol, whole fucking season has been unpredictable af, idk what you're trying to say

ardiis about to eliminate FNS

xD
