The gamble has to be made when you're down in numbers or on an eco or any situation where you're in a disadvantage, not when your team is on the front foot and needs your support in the round smh

It was still a 3v3, he could've waited for the retake or played on site. Why did he choose to hold that angle and potentially put himself at risk of facing two people?

This made me lose my mind. You have a fucking JUDGE, WHY are you holding from THERE? Hold from the fucking entrance of vents to A!!!

Not a mistake in hindsight cuz he won the duel, but it is what it is. Why even bother holding that angle when you can just tuck in and play risk free? If SiuFatBB had won that duel, suddenly it looks winnable for him...

I really wanna ask f0rsakeN personally, wtf was he trying to do there? Again, you're in a 5v3, either regroup with your team, or if you really wanna jump out of hookah like that, jump out together with Jinggg, WHY are you jumping out alone?

https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxlACtcnhdeOmJEVWbJ-heGGfHjxN2ZBYD?feature=shared

Look at the minimap, why is he pushing through the smoke in a 5v5 with no info? For what we know there could be 3 people looking at that smoke. He got lucky that it was only Yuicaw, and even then he just died straight away.

There are many more mistakes from other tournaments that he committed which cost his team important rounds, and I'm talking tournaments from all the way in 2022. But I don't have the time to send all of them here. I'm sure you understand it now

Not to mention they had 4 ROOKIES going into the season. That is an extraordinary achievement for a team so young

Again, I never said he was bad or downright replaceable, I literally just said he does the same errors over and over again and costs his team rounds at times, and it's true. He still overheats and makes risky decisions instead of being risk free and playing with the team. When it works, he gets a crazy multi-kill, when it doesn't, he just looks like a fool.

He still overheats a ton and can't go more than 10 seconds without peeking, what I just said was true. Y'all need to stop glorifying him as the 'perfect player' when he clearly isn't, even if he's the best player on the team.

You say f0rsakeN is burdened by Jinggg when he himself makes so many crucial errors every single game and hasn't tried to fix those errors since the beginning of his career

VLR really does have some NPCs ngl

Wolves beat Paper Rex...

The coaches of Apeks themselves mentioned that florescent destroyed everyone in trials, also if those so-called tier 2 EMEA players were "better" than her, they should've performed well in trials lmao

He's technically an NA player cuz his name is literally NA Tank

Just go to the red lights area or make an OF account (you said you wanted a fucking job)

Wolves looking to be the CN representatives at Bangkok

More like put something on full time duelist and Jinggg on full time sentinel, then something can flex onto Sova or Fade if f0rsakeN has to play Neon

Can't even say PRX are bad cuz they won the Radiant Asia Invitational

This was just... Unbelievable

Yeah but not every team has the same firepower as PRX, which is in fact better than FNC 2023's firepower (literally being held back by Boaster lol), I swear we've seen how dominant they can be when they play meta comps or comps that make sense, or just have some discipline. They voluntarily don't wanna do that, and for me the root cause is f0rsakeN, cuz why tf does he have such an ADHD brain?

To watch PRX play like FNC 2023, with the discipline, the great set plays, the post plants... They already have the aimers, in fact I'd say better aimers than 2023 FNC, yet they wanna play the game on hard mode every time and it pisses me off

Like how hard is it to just chill after the spike is down (unless you don't have a man advantage)?

It's people like you who encourage their ADHD which is why they never win anything

I swear these guys must be diagnosed with ADHD cuz they can't fucking stay put and hold an angle for more than 5 seconds without peeking to stimulate their senses

Ilya is the only dude who has no ADHD and is capable of holding an angle for more than 20 seconds

Realistically,

EMEA - Apeks
Americas - FURIA
Pacific - Boom Esports
China - All Gamers

srN

Back to GC we go 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️

OXY probably whined about how he's "more disciplined" nowadays and immi was like, "Oh hush little baby don't you cry, everything's gonna be alright" and decided to snitch on Rossy in front of Jack Etienne

I really had VALORANT as my top artist I can't

Watch this team fold, they don't have a proper IGL and are taking a gamble on Sayf as the IGL, we've seen this before you know... (cough cough NRG)
It's not about just putting all the strongest pieces in one team, there must be a presence of a good leader who they can rely on in tough situations, and Vitality doesn't have that.

With Ruxic on smokes and Shao back on initiator, I could see this team making internationals again

PRX just needs to fix their discipline and overheating issues, that's it. They have cracked aimers all round, a great coach, and good team synergy and vibes. I've never seen a team with more trophy winning potential but at the same time less trophy winning potential than PRX

Well, look at last season...

Madrid -> lost to SEN
Shanghai -> lost to G2, and eventually got eliminated by 100T
Seoul -> lost to G2 again

Even in 2023, they lost to C9 at LOCK//IN and lost to EG twice at Tokyo and LA, the latter being in the grand final.
I'd say their record against NA teams is pretty shit despite getting some wins against them.

icy, Rossy, supamen, yay and Derrek would unironically be a great team

Rossy is a direct upgrade from NaturE, and I would say the same for yay replacing Apoth. Losing jawgemo for icy is a clear downgrade but I mean, what else can you do at this point lol, icy has gained enough experience from last year and maybe you just hope he doesn't have LAN jitters in his second year

I just came up with something off the top of my head, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was a show I used to watch as a kid lol

DFM and MIBR actually deserve their slots after the roster moves they have made

o0o0o has to be the goofiest IGN after hfmi0dzjc9z7

Ikr, and the fact that she's not in GC anymore rules out the one reason why people hated her a lot

Like these guys are genuinely transphobic and not even hiding it lol

Let's be real, we always say this lmao it never happens

Other than the author sexualizing literal minors, it's pretty good

UHHH WHATTTT????!!!!

"Can they beat EMEA and NA teams" brother PRX almost always beats EMEA teams, hell, even mid PRX beat the likes of KC, TH and FUT this year

It's the NA teams where the problem is at, and PRX has an abysmal record against them. However, if they continue to play normal comps like this on certain maps, I could see a world where they make top 3 at a Masters event next year

I think the reason people were super disappointed in PRX last season was because they expected this team to win tournaments or at least make 2nd place finishes

It's hard to be a good flex tbh, cuz you basically sacrifice your comfort to play whatever the team needs

If Rankers even go to Ascension it's gonna be a problem for tier 2 NA lmao

In that case even zombs won an international event. So is zombs better than mindfreak?

My guy Demon1 was the literal MVP of Champions 2024 and was on fire the whole way through in 2023

Hindsight Harry if I've ever seen one
Going into 2024, NRG had one of the most successful cores in the OpTic core of crashies, Victor and Marved, followed by two players who just wondering Champs, one of them being the MVP of the tournament

The only thing the team didn't have was a true IGL, and guess what Vitality doesn't have as well?

In hindsight you say this about NRG, but then it was a different story lol

Maybe I have very bad PTSD from 2024 NRG but this roster is almost the same in comparison when you look at it. Great talents put together without a proper IGL to lead them.

I hope the team is actually great and not pretending to be great

I agree on the VIT take, I just don't see how a team without a proper IGL is gonna do well, we've seen this already with NRG where it's an all star team without a good leader. I think they're gonna do bad in Kickoff, probably make playoffs in Stage 1 but bomb out, going into Stage 2 one player is gonna get kicked for sure

Haters on their way to comment "pr0mm00 🐮"

I think what OP meant by this was that he sacrificed his comfort to play a role he's not accustomed to, for the team

s1mple from Flipkart

What's better is that he's playing KJ and Cypher like they are supposed to be played, which is a great sign as that was the main worry when it came to Jinggg on sentinel (is he gonna be too aggressive and give away his life?)

Having 3 strong maps going into Kickoff is gonna be a huge advantage for them, and that's not even considering Fracture which is gonna be a great map for them as well

My faith has been restored, thank you Jingjoy and Jypher
