Small correction, Derke was great during Bangkok but Chichoo was clearly the best
Definitely, PRX were just the better team that day. The map bans also made a big difference
Leo was better. Crashies has had a lot of great moments and is a good player, but Leo was both statistically and visually a better player.
Batu Yoru breaks Bo3 kill record and boaster cries
I’d rather see a new team win it
I believe in both teams to be a headache for their opponents, but I don’t think either team has shown enough consistency to believe in them. If Talon win any 2 playoff games in a row I’m all in though
DRG has a real shot, EDG has not been looking great so even if DRG lose next week the lower bracket is still very doable
He’s had 7 months playing in tier 1, that’s a considerable amount of time
If Wolves miss out on champs (likely) then how would you change their roster? I think Juicy has to go. Despite Wolves making it deep in Toronto, Juicy had several horrific maps and looked completely clueless in multiple series, most notably against GenG. It felt like the team was winning in spite of him sometimes. In stage 2, he’s arguably looked even worse. I think Wolves need to seriously trial tier 2 players or look for an existing upgrade because he just looks lost way too often
Weird feeling it’ll be RRQ 2-0
DRG has to finish top 3 to eliminate Wolves. I’m not sure exactly how the tiebreakers work between them and wolves, I just know that that’s the situation
No sir, it is chichoo. I knew it would be hard. During their champs run TMV referred to chichoo as “number 9” because he ranked him 9th in the previous masters and it didn’t go well
If you don’t like valorant then shut up and go play cs2, nobody asked for your opinion
RRQ and XLG are mine. Both teams bombed out of Toronto but I like a lot of what I’m seeing from them now. Both look scary when they’re feeling it.
happywei looks like a PROBLEM, I love watching him play
Estrella has been looking better recently though, and his igling is definitely improving
100%, important piece on two championship winning rosters
They’ve been looking better and better throughout the split, it’s hard to argue that they aren’t a real champs contender
For China:
happywei
whzy
Rarga (running double duelist with him on Yoru)
rushia
Shr1mp
The only issue is that I don’t know who the igl is for some of these teams, so I’m not sure if I got one
EDG should be pretty safe to make it. Not guaranteed but close to it
Yeah idk what to tell you. I think maybe it’s just cause the Chinese teams are all much closer in strength to one another than before. You’ll lose some 60-40 type matches and win some 40-60 type matches
It’s not actually that crazy of a scenario
Cooked. Too much hope in DFM. They’re a decent team but they have to win too many really tough games in a row
Yeah I find him annoying. I’d rather listen to Pansy crack up laughing every map
Hear me out: I know Furia is really bad, we all understand that. What I don’t understand is why they seemingly never have any set strats, or at most 1 a map? I know the players are bad but surely you can at least try to cheese out a couple rounds on your own map pick?! What does their coach actually do?
People keep clowning on them but at some point just give it a rest. Yes, they are a very bad team. Understood.
TH twice, PRX twice, GenG, G2, FNC, Loud, Gambit, EG. I’m probably missing from 2021 but I didn’t watch it then
They do? Especially in team sports, most devoted fans can name who won and who lost each championship.
Also this mindset is so toxic, by your definition you’re a loser your entire life in everything you try unless you are the best and take 1st. Really sad worldview
They took 2nd in a masters and champs. That’s pretty damn good
Hard to argue either side is winning. If NRG miss champs then this post will look embarassing
I didn’t realize that. Chichoo should be allowed to just focus on shooting
Even if his Yoru was better in pracs it still doesn’t make sense for an igl to play him
I know that Nobody played Yoru the last couple weeks and it looked rough, while Smoggy played fade. Does anyone have any insight into why Smoggy didn’t play Yoru instead? Smoggy was a pretty talented duelist in the early days of EDG, so I’m confused as to why Nobody would play Yoru instead. Just curious if anyone has some behind the scenes info, thanks!
Probably not, just off of pure randomness Furia will win a round, like a bunch of lucky timings or a pistol round
You definitely didn’t watch EDGs games then
Really unfortunate that DFM ended up as 4th seed
100% agree. His IGLing also looked great during champs, and he’s been awesome in stage 2 (outside of DRG series)
Idk, s1mon’s support util was arguably the best in the world durimg champs
A supernova vs a prokaryote
I’m not sure about prime kk just yet but I agree, Stew has looked impressive
They can’t play both jieni7 and zjc at same time
Nah if you watched zjc he clearly looked like he didn’t belong, his mechanics did not look good enough and his util usage was not noticeably better than Jieni7.
