both teams looked good before but i think T1 win close 2-1, xccurate drop 50

it was harder to tell how good they were against PRX but they look pretty good right now
i dont think they'll be able to beat LOUD or LEV tho

this is probably the worst ive seen DRX ever play

SEN bind looked pretty good this year iirc, vs FURIA, G2, 100T
idk why DRX decided to play SEN on their best map tbh, they did this exact thing by picking fracture against EG (twice) last year

edit: oh shit i thought u said SEN bind, well split has just been a nightmare this year esp against LEV but i think SEN will win regardless because they have better synergy now ☝️

im cheering for DRX but i dont think i saw DRX win any split game last year internationally, might just be SEN 2-0

PRX 2-1, jing plays after PRX lose their map pick

put me on jett bro, nothing can stop NAVI from placing 11th 🔥🔥🔥

Anyone know why they decided to play breach instead of KAYO on ascent? is it just experimenting or a permanent change

i love benkai but sadly Sayf initiates all over them

since act changes in january, im hoping that fracture/pearl comes back to the pool
those maps were fun and complex but half the maps in this current pool are boring

only teams i can see making Masters realistically are NRG (if the IGL proves to be good) or C9/SEN, but otherwise this is LATAM/BR's year to dominate

TL v SMG was good but last map was painful to watch as an SMG fan
good luck brazil in finals though 🇧🇷🏆

missed the series, was it banger or a clean sweep? an article wasnt made yet so im just wondering how it went

NT SMG, cheering them on next year

SMG v TL has banger potential
also eneri’s name is misspelt in the last paragraph, otherwise thanks for the articles ONCE 👍

smg 2-1, 2 close maps and 1 full sweep

26-1 now

that's fair but there had to have been a better player to pick up... after all scaryshark's most played agents are Skye Viper Kayo Breach THEN Jett
there's probably a handful or more of gc players that couldve performed better

not familiar with her but looks like she played a lot of skye before joining EG
but there had to have been better players, scaryshark looks like she doesn't know what shes doing

rumored to be Demon1 Ethan Crashies Victor Marved

Ok thanks for the insight babysasuke

i'm not sure if iceman's IGLing has improved enough to ensure NRG's success (unless he cooked in offseason)

Not familiar with JP valorant but good to see that they kept Anthem

Jemkin is good but not enough to carry RRQ to 4th/3rd

become alfajer 🐐

hoping this will be a close match, EDG 2-1

What a banger match, ggs ASE hopefully the lower bracket run comes to fruition

i replied to the wrong guy but good tier list

i wont move them up but I do think that g2 form will improve in regular season, up to A tier perhaps

my OK opinion (not in order)
S+:
LEV, LOUD, FNC
S:
NRG (+Demon1 +Ethan), DRX (if they keep previous core), PRX (no jing 😞)
A+:
BLD, FURIA, EDG (i think they can reach higher peaks), NAVI, ZETA (crazy aimers)
A:
C9 (w/o Curry doesnt look too good), GIA (Redgar?), RRQ (Jemkin looks promising), T1
A-:
FUT, TL (Apeks core looks promising)
B+:
SEN (if they stop throwing rounds then A), G2 (didn't look too good at SEN invitational), M8, GENG, TS
B:
FPX, FUT, TH, VIT,
C:
KRU, 100T, BLG (don't look too good right now), GE (lack of firepower), TLN (governor, lenne, ban??)
Not sure/unfamiliar:
EG (unknown roster), MIBR (i dont watch them enough), China teams (except FPX EDG BLG), BBL, KC, KOI, DFM

will take opinions 👍

Hi

What were its main flaws? those maps werent too memorable so i dont remember their map theory too well

Anyone think that the comps LOUD used on Ascent/Pearl for Champs had any potential to perform well consistently, or were they too flawed to run regularly?
Ascent was: Breach Fade Jett Omen Viper
Pearl was: Astra Breach Fade Jett KJ

doesnt sound so good sadly
maybe ban can perform better than he did this year but not sure

kru mightve done bad throughout the year, but im happy they made champs

rip daveeys o7

didnt watch first map, are FURIA looking great or C9 looking terrible?

NRG/KRU, FUT, PRX

Someone told me that keznit is sick whilst klaus is getting married today

Sayf fraud is a pretty hot take

100t look pretty mediocre, no chance they win red bull this year

seems like more than just "brazil + na bad"

ZETA win
looks like an exciting team, curious how Carlao will affect ZETA though

Your goat yay is actually british

Thanks everyone

hey guys i have an all-day valorant tournament tomorrow, any tips? jinggg told me to go kill but just wanna get some suggestions 👍

id like -sunset or -ascent
ascent is fun for me but i see why others cant play it anymore
and sunset mid gotta get reworked 👎

Nah the philippines is a pretty solid place to host champs

I only do f6 and farming sorry 🙂👍

Ok 👍

good take but i like s0m's ign
