not over till it's over

not breeze but g2 haven

and prx but they perma haven now so

fnatic '23

fairs but they won kick off that season too

comp gap + xenophobic aimers geeg

coaching

retweet

i mean if LEV or NRG lost to M80 i'd lose my mind... and EP can't even compete with their best player at champions so it's looking kinda dire for them ngl

is there even a chance this region wins champs these teams look fried

strong ac

reduxx entry duelist
eeiu 2nd in initiator
johnqt controller IGL
jonahp support flex
smoke anchor/senti

hot take but I think jonah should be given a chance to play as an actual flex instead of being silo'd into ini role when he looked like a top flex itw on g2

reduxx should be given the opportunity to develop into an actual duelist like he was on oxg before being forced into mini tenz role by cubert/sen... or dropped for another duelist entirely if you don't want jerrwin

player quality aside probably mibr

idt they've played any weird gimmicks all year they play some standard ass val

pcf would 2-0 nv

i mean true but why are we talking about this coach like he hasn't competed in 4 years bro was literally playing in ascension last year

lowkey a little disingenuous no?

surely riot has found better TOs for next year americas these tech issues have been horrid

they beat 2025 drx in a bo5 with spike on viper i think they'll be okay

aspas should be oping on chamber

ty

where can I find these interviews?

"riot games please kill the game and go broke"

its not over till its over

spike just goes back to flex

that's it

they beat drx in a bo5 grand final with spike on viper... I don't think they'll be hit as badly as people think they are

its so over.

why keep him on a middling viper when he's been by far and away the highest rated sova in emea (1.3 !!) ?

team has negative chem what can you do

"you think this is normal?"

EF qualling to get swatted by prx or fs

secret level team sneaking onto global stage shameless ass region

agree to disagree :D

with either comp you still have three smokes at a time, and iirc harbor has the best smoke uptime in the game atm so I don't think its as egregious as it might sound.

prx have also played harbor ascent in the past so they'd probably be able to come up with some cool theory too.

lowk as long as they aren't playing default comp idrc what they end up with ( ´△｀)

wait you said flash

uhhh personally I don't think it's strong enough anymore to make omen must pick... harbor stun also nearsights and it also gives info via sound cue, imo that plus additional stuns from the waylay could more than make up for it

I think the waylay gives something more freedom on awp defense (walk downs) which was what made their ascent competitive pre yoru nerf + ult/stun for exec. other than that does the same as jett

harbor wall works fine for execs and his blind is also useful for exec and gives info + has synergies with the waylay on defense

and tbh sounds more interesting to watch but thats just me being biased

I was talking about others in the thread

you saying the sage vyse from last year is better than a double duelist fast comp for prx rn?

better than putting invy and f0rsaken off their best roles ✌️

jingg - phoenix
something - waylay
f0rsaken - harbor
invy - sova
d4v41 - vyse

free masters thank me later

bro needs to lock in

basic is waiting

doesn't nightz turn 18 in june/july

nt

ya best flex itw

why are you arguing regarding kaplan's decisions when that isn't the issue? Most people including those attacking rob moore agree that kaplan's roster building wasn't that good; the issue at the heart of this drama is that rob moore came out and said whatever the fuck on stream near immediately after kaplan was let go and said things that subtextually imply that kaplan is incompetent and that he held the entirety of sentinels' VALORANT hostage with his decisions, dragging him through the mud in a way that wouldn't be acceptable the other way around.

We (as in, general public) don't know everything about this debacle, and we SHOULDN'T as people who aren't part of SEN/the VCT. Workplaces anywhere else and even ORGS in this scene don't operate like that... there's a reason that first NRG 2025 iteration remained silent about the circumstances regarding their implosion, you know.

Yes: maybe johnqt still wanted to IGL, yes: maybe they should've done more to keep zekken (LOL), yes: maybe n4rrate dive was something he was uncomfortable with and they should've had a different meta/comp read than they did in kickoff, but the way some of these things were discussed on stream wasn't it ✌️

edit for space breaks

my goat

Chronically online loser, you have 9400 posts on this platform only spreading hate. If you hate so many things in this world at some point you must look inward. You hate yourself and the life you live so instead of sitting in that feeling you constantly project those feelings to the world and things around you. I know you haven’t made a single notable achievement in your life so you cannot begin to understand what it is like at the highest level of anything. Usually if you have no understanding of something the best way to proceed is to keep quiet.

100T seven was the move

less vindicated for all the times people on here called him mid after two straight seasons of terroristic teams hampering him

too good

icl unless you REALLY want (are desperate) a tier 1 trophy in 2026 it'd probably be better for someone like Proxh to stick with EP

you get to farm tier 2 on a team with good chances to make it into franchise playoffs, and even there you'd probably run most of everyone's pockets considering the state of a lot of teams

IF they make champs they get champs bundle money (nearly $100 million + prize pool) on top of financial rewards/other incentives provided by riot which would most definitely equalize if not beat a t1 salary for one split--performance at champs probably gets written off even if they get dogged on cause hypercarry kozzy couldn't make the lan + riot probably spins a sympathetic narrative for EP cause they're T2 and them making it at all is good for 2027

on the flip-side joining giantx means having to bring an underperforming team up to competitive standards with minimal (iirc) champs points and an arguably lesser ceiling than others with no guarantee that you'll remain franchised into the next year. franchised or not, open circuit means salaries will go down anyway and job security disappearing into thin air unless you're genuinely world class. why do that unless you're desperate for a trophy right now?

ONE (1) tweet and leo faria personally replaces every computer on stage please TenZ

cool for liquid and the greater scene :D

superstar player, charismatic individual

500 cigarettes

is anyone on that roster even top 3 in role in emea

suy maybe?

RIOT's dumbass rules about video games

i think high schoolers should graduate from mandatory schooling before pursuing a career in "VALORANT Esports" ngl

if they put dante on neon they lowk go deep

guy saw his chance to play vct and took it

honestly if he continues being top 2 on pcf its probably better for his career than tier 2 nacl orgless limbo
