LewN is absolutely absurd but ngl I think everyone on the starting roster for BBL is having a breakout year (except Jamppi)

Tbf Derke only started showing inconsistency when FNC as a whole were kinda falling off, and even then he still had his maps. In 2023 I felt like he was as consistent as he had been in 2022 and 2021 from Lock//In to Tokyo. Only time he looked inconsistent that year was Champs and that's when the FNC fall off started

The OG Click and nataNk roster would've been generational for the starving NAVI fans

I mean he had a good map one but then got locked out for the rest of the game, which I thought was a common trend with him when I watched Ascension, and I really think NAVI would've been better off getting a much younger player who completely take over a server consistently rather than being middling most of the time and only having a huge map every now and then

Icl I'm a massive koalanoob doubter, I think his peak as a young cracked duelist kinda went and left in challengers and now he's just in a weird position of not being fresh or experienced at a high level

Real, tho I'd say FengF already kinda showed himself off at Champs and it was kinda expected that as TE got better he'd have more opportunities to perform

Oh ofc not but hopefully top level teams will see his potential and he'll get signed to a team where he can see some actual success

Which players do you think are gonna have/look like they're having a breakout year this year? Not necessarily rookies but players that haven't really shown that they're elite level players

For me it's looking like Keiko is finally gonna show the same talent he had on 2023 Apeks after switching to smokes. I thought he was kinda underwhelming last year and I didn't have high hopes for him this year but he looks way more comfortable and in his element on smokes. I don't expect anything from Liquid this year but I wouldn't be surprised if someone tried poaching him next year to build an elite roster

I mean NRG have been under delivering compared to the quality of their players for 2 years now. It'd only be fitting for it to continue into 2025

Would've been generational, Guild at Istanbul could've done some serious damage in place of Liquid

2023 - NRG are just running weird comps guys, they'll be fine. ardiis is just slumping guys it'll all be fine just wait till Champs
2024 - SEN are just better than we all thought, don't worry guys NRG will be fine for Stage 1
2024 part 2 - FNS just needs time to get used to things guys, don't worry we can still make playoffs
2025 - don't worry guys they just got caught off guard by the new agent, it'll be fine. We can still make Bangkok <-- You are here

Surely Less and Shyy have to at least be in the conversation

I'm conflicted

On the one hand I want a 3 map turbo banger cuz it'd be entertaining

On the other hand I want to see a 2024 NRG level meltdown and 100T stomp cuz it'd be funny

Nah bro MiniBoo will get hard baited for the rest of the team to drop 30 each

Ok but it'd be funny + he was already taking more contact than Demon1 on Split vs Furia so they may as well lean into baiting him

nataNk and kiNgg both played Raze quite regularly in the past

Demon1 is quite literally the 4th best Raze player on LEV

Hell I'd rather see c0m on Raze tbh

Literally only chance FUT lose is if xeus and yetujey both eat a brick while all the Liquid players simultaneously hit their ceiling

Ok but G2 weren't built as a super team. trent/valyn/JonahP have been a core since 2022 with JoshRT coaching them since 2023, leaf was added to replace their duelist who then changed roles and Jawgemo was a star player who they added to that lineup of 4. Yes they have talent across the board but it was layered onto a solid foundation and not the usual super team method of pull unrelated super stars and pray they fit together

Ok look I can explain myself

I made my Reddit username like 5 years ago when feet jokes were the peak of comedy and I was a cringe child and Reddit doesn't let you change your username

Do they have ANY regional competition or are they the undisputed kings of Americas? Any given matchup they have I feel like is a minimum 65/35 for them

ardiis, he was honestly the best player on NAVI last year and just got fucked by the coaching change

If he came back with a solid team around him he would eat another trophy ong

These guys would actually SMOKE NRG in the rematch holy

Fenis is NOT ok, whzy is about to send him back to thanking donos and soy facing at PRX f0rsakeN

MiniBoo without his S or Shift keys

Much like popular UK Valorant player and former Fortnite pro Benjy David "benjyfishy" Fish, currently playing for Spanish esports organisation Team Heretics' Valorant squad

G2 beat SEN to qualify to Bangkok from the upper bracket

Lower bracket final for Bangkok qual is 100T vs SEN rematch

Boostio gets his revenge and 100T go to Bangkok

Come back to this page

Imo this is mw's last chance at VCT and if he can't make it work this year his ass should get banished to the depths of Brazil immo lobbies

Bruh there ain't no way I honestly think FNC may not even be top 5 EMEA this year

Bro NRG are NOT better than 100T what are you

Can't wait for them to finish 7th-8th in playoffs

Tbh I think they'll go out fairly early in Lock//In, but given time they may be able to find some success and clinch a playoffs spot

-kiNgg +Boostio
-nataNk + JAWGEMO
-tex +Ethan
-Itopata +Potter
-Desmo +Zikz
-Daykiry +Kurt
-Leviatan organisation +EG organisation
+icy
+Apoth
+BcJ
+ScrewFace
+Reformed

If LEV just make these small changes I think they could really maximise Demon1's potential and he could really find some success as a more passive Jett/smokes player, kinda like 100T is doing with Cryo. What do you think?

OF THE LEV SAVE! FFS IT'S FURIA! PLEASE!!1!1!11!!!!!111!

He hasn't even used one yet. Is he too self conscious to attempt it or something? He's just shift walk baiting natanK

Edit - as soon as I say it

Bro he somehow got Jett diffed by havoc ion know about that bro

So Demon1 is no longer the modern yay, he's now the modern d3ffo

Ok but he does also have kiNgg, natanK and tex on his team, who are 3 aggro players who can pick up dive roles if needed. They could very easily recreate some kinda 2023 EG system with him

Bro he can't even dodge a Breach flash, this is not the same player as 2023 Demon1. He has to be stoned or something

Gentlemen, I think LEV have entered the conversation

I shouldn't have doubted the power of LEV cUm

Still crazy to me that GX didn't keep Famsii ngl

Unironically could be good but imo it all depends on RobbieBK. I don't have zero faith in him but he's definitely unproven. I don't expect them to beat TH at all but I think they could deffo do some damage in lower bracket

In no particular order, I reckon it's VIT, KC, BBL, 100T, SEN, C9, LOUD, EDG, TE, NS

Teams I expect to be added into the conversation - FUT, TH, PRX, GEN.G, G2, FPX, BLG

Teams I think could be added into the conversation - T1, NRG, FNC (assuming these 3's first games were just early jitters and not indicative of how they are overall), LEV (but honestly I don't have faith), DRX

Edit: yeah honestly I forgot about Nova and XLG. I wouldn't say I expect them to be in top 10 discussions but they do look very good and I think they could surprise some people

Nah but you didn't say Kanye or Kendrick so you're not being erased dw

Finding your home address rn

I knew there'd be one of you mfs

Anyone got any good metal recommendations, similar to Bring Me the Horizon or Slipknot

(I swear to god if I see Kendrick Lamar or Kanye West when I asked for metal I will fucking deconstruct you at a cellular level)

Fake fan not repeating the unfunny Derke bald memes from 2 years ago but with Sacy instead

They beat T1 that one time and all the hype came inside them all at once and they're still too worn out from all the excitement to notice that DFM fuckin left through the window in the middle of the night and are never coming back

TH, PRX, 100T

Wtf man why has my brain gotta be wired like this. I quite literally have the 3 goats of inflicting ungodly levels of pain on their fanbase.

At least I'm not a Liquid fan

💀
