side note I would love an offseason tourney with all the overtuned agents, maybe would be a cool idea for redbull homeground or LxT

chamber
tejo
breach
raze
omen

good luck holding site or retaking vs 3 flashes, 2 salvos, 2 raze nades, sped up omen flash, omen one ways that stick to any wall. Oh and if that wasnt enough you have prime chamber with 2 trips and can tp across the map

im definitely not overexaggerating, watching tejo breach every map and having teams util spam sites so that defenders can't hold it is beyond boring. It just the same shit from every team and whoever doesnt run these comps eventually gets overwhelmed by them even if they have a higher peak

"for no reason" mf they saved the game from the most boring meta its ever seen

hope he owns a grill license cause that mf needs it now

"would you like fries with that?"

GET MY BURGERS READY

this is just an average boostio performance wtf

academy teams no because they cant ascend, so it would clog up ascension with teams who can't ascend

gc not required but they should offer more support to teams to incentivise picking up a gc team

100T mce gonna hit like crack in the 80s

it was more talking about the 100 randoms part, even 100 average men would beat a gorillas ass

nah gorilla doesnt have the stamina or coordination to fight 100 humans.

We as a species are so dominant partially because we have the ability to sweat, which cools us down makes us have by far the most stamina out of any land mammal on earth

vs 100 humans a gorilla would run out of stamina really quickly and would get overwhelmed after humans take about 20-30 casualties imo

humans easy. we used to dominate those BUMS while we were starving cavemen who could only grunt at one another, so we can definitely shit on only one of those dickheads if theres a hundred of us

the fact that they havent run eeiu breach + asuna tejo on a single map is a fireable offence for zikz, rudi and frenya

transphobes are so funny cause its so much easier to just type "they" but they go out of their way to type more letters to try and prove a point

based on your flag, English is your first language you sausage, so use it correctly

i was having fun at the waterslide when suddenly i noticed a big shadow covering the entire pool i looked up and there i saw him, Ardiis. He was coming straight for me, he jumped into the pool and the velocity of the wave that followed knocked me unconcious.

When i woke up i was chained in a cold and dirty room and there he was, streaming the popular shooter game VALORANT on Twitch while talking to his chat, somehow he managed to say the word "bro" 254 times in just 3 sentences how is that even possible?? I quickly realised that the chains were actually made of chocolate, confused (and mainly hungry) i started licking and sucking them as fast as i could and managed to crawl out of the room -that i presumed was probably his mothers basement- while remaining unseen.

I searched around the house for an exit and i quickly found the front door. As soon as i exited the building i saw a horde of angry Brazilians holding blowtorches and pitchforks chanting at ardiis and calling him a racist and a loser. I didn't really care so i tried to get out of the scene as soon as possible but just as i was about to step out of the house, ardiis put his enormous hand on my shoulder and whispered with a soft and melodic tone in my ear "You're not going anywhere pumpkin pie" and "Daddy's gonna take care of this swifly". He stepped out of the house and suddenly yelled "WATCH THIS" as he flamboyantly dashed into the air and suddenly made 5 knives materialise around him. He used the knives to effortlessly tap every single brazilian in the area.

I was so afraid, blood was spilled everywhere. When it all was over ardiis looked in my direction and i knew that it was over, if they didnt stand a chance, then i wouldnt either, so i just gave up. Ardiis started walkingin my direction each step making the ground shake. When he got to me he just sat down on me saying that i got cold and he needed to warm me up. After a while he took me inside the smelly basement again and took his clothes off. He started smelling me and licking my ear, and then he suddenly got very embarrased and told me i can just leave.

Turns out that this was a huge misunderstanding, this whole time he thought that i was a chocolate egg and he wanted to eat me. The disappointment on his face when he realized the mistake he had done was palpable, a tangible testament to the depth of his sorrow.

bruh dropping your igl midseason when there are coaching issues is braindead asf tho, just change coaching systems and drop him at the end of the year when half of vct are free agents

Cryo doesnt need to play sage tho, they could copy Mibrs comp and put him on jett or have him play omen/astra. Its the coaches responsibility to make comp decisions

Asuna overheating? man, im sure a good coach would be able to get that tendency out of him, sgares managed it well.

Boostio and Zander? read the post man I explained why I think they might be underperforming.

Calling a few timeouts is cute and all but you only get two so unless you wanna get 13-2'd every game its really not as important as building a good system

and then what? Just get rid of your igl and vibes guy and call it a day?

but these are issues that stayed with them the whole split, and will stop them from getting better for the future

I think a big issue for them is an unwillingness to copy other teams comps. Idk if it's because they dont watch other teams or are too stubborn to change their comps, but there's no way where a competent coaching team doesnt copy Mibr's split comp, SENs pearl comp or any breach/tejo comp on haven. It would save them so much time too, as they could fill out half a playbook by vod reviewing another team's map and taking some of their strats while adding their own

1 map =/= their whole split

A couple months ago, Zikz and 100T put out an open call for coaching.

https://100thieves.com/pages/100-thieves-valorant-open-enrollment-coaching-staff?srsltid=AfmBOoozUultxiPf82KRBYeB0Ullzjt8SPw0CW67s-ijq_JndFNmygPt

I spent 2 weeks putting a tremendous amount of time and effort to create these two analysis reports:

100T Icebox
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zYRtRbyClNjJXx-vbA2X6s64IlaVGfhV/view?usp=drive_link

FNC Haven
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kE90FXjCtj_qaXCOp-j0pInVEdqL1KEz/view?usp=drive_link

Despite the effort, despite reaching out to Zikz two weeks after the deadline for any word, I was ghosted. Only to find out that your average VCT scouting/analysis report is 1/200th the size.

The reason I'm bringing this up is because I'm tired of seeing Nadeshot and 100 Thieves continue the narrative that they are trying everything they can. They simply are not. They are just continuing the one thing that has plagued esports, cronyism. The normal size of an analysis report in VCT is 1-2 pages. For a game that is supposed to be "TACTICAL" ... how do you fit a scouting report into one page?

How does Nadeshot and the 100T organization pay for such mediocracy when people put real effort into their applications? Esports needs to stop being a revolving door.

the more 100Ts issue is coaching.

This is a huge reach, and is purely based off of the fact that they don't change comps/stats/how they speak in interviews.

But I think that their main philosophy is to prioritse playing together and taking big messy teamfights, and while it sounds counterintuitive, I think that prioritising playing well together makes them play worse together.

I'm willing to guess that 100T has the least prep for each map out of any team in Americas (other than the bottom feeders). I'm guessing this for 3 reasons:

1. Their retakes and post plants are consistently amongst the worst in the league
2. their comps rarely change, even with a week in between games
3. bang said in an interview that SEN had more of a winners mentality than 100T, which I guess means they don't get as much work done in a day, explaining the two above

This affects guys like Boostio and Zander because with no prep, they are forced to improvise ways to enable guys like Cryo or Asuna rather than having prepped strats.

This philosophy directly works against a guy like Boostio. He himself has said he is more of an instinctive caller, and forcing him to be a mini FNS, micromanaging his players more, takes away from his ability to play his own game. On EG, he had Potter, Zikz and a whole reserve roster, so I'd imagine he'd go into games with a great understanding of how the enemy team was going to play, then use guys like c0m and ethan to midround while he tapped heads or Oped.

Before 100Ts bind got figured out, it was so strong on the attack side because of the telegraphed execs. If you gave them B long, or A short, then they took site for free because they would util dump + Asunas pathing was optimal, then they would have rechargeable Gekko utility to help them keep the site.

Compare that to this year, and 100T have way less pre-coordinated rounds than last year, which means that they rely on their individual brilliance a lot more than winning because they outplayed their opponent. Im going to blame this on Mikes leaving, because I remember an sgares quote where he said that Mike was "the only guy who could make an esports player show up on time" and he really made their defence rounds better when on the team.

This being said, I really think a coaching change is needed for 100T. I dont know if that means that Zikz goes, or moves to AC, but I really think that they would be so stupid to not try for Bonkar, given that so many pros name him specifically as a really impactful, high level coach

TLDR: 100T bonkar

how is the weather in Kyrgyzstan

yeah I know Cubert Academy has helped his knowledge of the tier 2 scene, but my point still stands that the face of ownership isnt necessarily some dictator who chooses who to drop and who stays, they usually hire other guys with more knowledge and experience to do it for them

tbf if there was a masters or champs London I would be against it, so many better cities in the UK. Maybe he just thinks there are better Canadian cities

he's probably involved when it comes to negotiating contracts but my guy doesn't know who to drop or pick up etc. I'd imagine doing a audit of the team is Zyto and Kez job

crazy thing is man, an ascendent level player who streams marvel rivals all day and has a kid and wife isnt gonna be making the roster moves. The guys who do that for 100T are Joseph Jang and Jacob Toft-Anderson

this is a stupid opinion... you think rob moore makes sentinels moves? if you're gonna blame someone then blame the gm of the team but it aint nades fault

you are aware that nadeshot doesnt do the roster moves... right?

tbf m4 flor is stepping down mostly for family emergencies and out of game stuff, im sure apeks love what she brings on the server

if the shoe was on the other foot then riot would be sucking off g2 to not make their pookies mad

all the more time for G2 to find more bugged vyse ults and for trent to practice left clicking his high skill abilities

double reply oops

yeah he needs to refine his yoru more but I mean on maps like split and ascent Cryo just needs to be Jett. Mibr let aspas run wild on the jett and their split is pretty good, and it lets asuna play initiator more which is a bonus

nearly beat g2 with booty comps bro the boys will be fine, just get cryo on jett and asuna on tejo more and they will cook

G2 games make me not suicidal, cause I watch how dorky they play the game and I realise my life could always be worse

trust me bro be a 100T fan long enough and you learn how to be a clown

they need comp and possibly coaching changes but the boys will be alright

EG are NOT winning bro

"g2 fans come" and its just shittalking their parents who probably support SEN instead

call for desperate measures.

Welcome SEN nooomy
