Seems nice, but who will play the duelist role? But overall really interesting team.

Molsi could be an option if Zyppan leaves(I hope not). Molsi didn't have great 2023, but he was also constantly changing roles. If he could stick to what he is best at I think he could be good on NaVi.

NaVi core has been tier 1 for long time and the org was playing tier 1 even before that

None you mentioned have done anything too significant outside of Valyn and Vanity in the past. That's like saying Americas should import Koldamenta and even then he has done more.

W looking good and keep it up! Personally lost around the same in past like 1.5 years and its crazy how it boosts your confidence and makes you overall feel way better. Definitely worth a try if someone is struggling with these things. Actually feeling like average/normal person among others, idea that I struggled with in the past.

I want to see UNFAKE on team so him even if his agent pool wouldnt really fit

because its so hard for pro (or ex idk) player to get radiant when they have the time to grind

Sad that he retired, seemed like smart guy and leader when listening to comms. But I think Giants needed some changes let it be big or small to find consistency and I think this could be that (or not).

Rise
Phoenix
Legends Never Die

easily

Only buy watermelon with white seeds so no problem eating them

That is what NaVi needs. Ardiis seemed like the only one who was challenging ANGE1's ideas and overall seemed vocal when rest of NaVi (minus Shao maybe) seems pretty quiet and just follow. Could be wrong tho

Damn I wish Sayf would join NaVi. Feels like perfect fit to fill that cap Ardiis left.

No

24 for competitive games, but if I was building a good PC and wasn't super tryhard in ranked I would likely go for 27 because you can still play competitive games with no problem while getting better experience while playing better looking games and stuff like that with higher resolution. Like guy above said do you rather play with 1080p or 1440p and price because 1080p monitors are cheaper.

lost to erobb

Since when and who?

They aren't going for french roster and why would they? Their whole coaching staff is British and no way they are going to get rid of them and based on everything we know they are building on Destrian, ceNder and runneR(who they just signed/are going to sign). 2 Lithuanian and 1 Macedonian player.

Liquid tbh if they find initiator or flex IGL.
nAts sentinel
Jamppi initiator/flex
Scream duelist
Nivera controller
(+) IGL like UNFAKE or Enzo

seems like they had good team atmosphere outside of the IGL situation and they were doing good overall. Scream is bit risky pickup, but I would maybe rather see cNed on team like KOI and Scream would be strong option against tier 2 prospects.

I was surprised how different the game actually felt when I got to play it today. Like playing new Inferno with AK feels like a new game almost. Just hoping that MM gets better so it wouldn't feel as irrelevant next to FaceIt. Overall excited for full release when they fix the problems and hopefully change some things. Like the HUD is completely shit and I had trouble keeping up with my HP. Also it was really hard to tell if you hit or killed an enemy or took damage yourself for some reason. And also performance was pretty rough for my PC and lowest settings looked terrible and really pixelated.

Do you actually face many cheaters? I never get people complaining about cheaters in competitive when I haven't faced one for such long time and would imagine that I would have faced many already reading some of the comments here. Maybe its worse outside of EU.

Nice! MiniBoo & wo0t duo would be so hype. 2 strong tier 2 prospects who have also gotten hype from many working in the scene. Kinda reminds Cryo & Zekken duo.

please give us Benjyfishy, Boo, wo0t, Riens(?), Miniboo

True meant after lock in. Didn't watch LCQ.

Pre 2023 season you could have said that, but his 2023 was pretty weak. He was moved a lot to different agents so could explain, but guy like ceNder 100% outperformed him this year.

Apparently moving to IGL position. Rumors say that he was the main caller for Vitality at least in regular season. Not sure is it true tho.

Oh yeah forgot that Insider is sentinel player and falltw is like only Russian tier 2 IGL I know

Good signing, but I think some people will again overhype him a bit. Not that he isn't good or won't have potential, but we saw this guy on like 2 or 3 tier 2 teams after M3C and none of them did anything. Can't always blame the coach ofc, but he is a coach among the others. Really hoping KCorp goes for English speaking team tho.

Insider, B1SK, vo0kashu, falltw + 1(like chiwawa) would be scary for tier 2

I've been big fan of Molsi for some time, but think he simply didn't perform very well on Vitality unfortunately. I still believe that he still has potential to do really well, but maybe Vitality just wasn't that team.

Good signing tbh. He's been doing well in tier 2 for quite a while and the fact that they went for him likely means hes been impressive in trials. Nice to see some not so much talked about tier 2 talent being signed.

Sayf would be perfect fit for NaVi IMO. Just right role and he is vocal like how Ardiis was.

KCorp or Vitality because he also adds brand revenue for being French.

At least SEN threw money at good players unlike Heretics who just signed the ex-tier 1 leftovers.

Heretics is type of org I was afraid of when franchising became a thing. Building bad rosters with clout in mind. Already saw with Mixwell and then Benjyfishy(not terrible, but more deserving players). This team was destined to be bad since the leaks. Really hope they get rid of whole roster unless they are confident with Boo's IGLing after Zeek left(could have affected if bad atmosphere in team).

They should just build team mainly out of current tier 2 players. Team like UNFAKE/Boo, MiniBoo, Mistic, Monsteerr/benjy, Keiko/ALIVE/tomaszy etc would be interesting. Much rather see unproven talent with potential than washed players from 2021. Like you can't lose much, because they will be shit anyway unless they throw big money around.

Hard to say how well they would do in tier 1, but tier 2 has IGLs like Enzo, roxie, YaBoiLewis("forced" IGL IIRC), UNFAKE, RobbieBK, falltw, br0die. Out of those I personally have faith in Enzo, YaBoiLewis and UNFAKE because their teams have done pretty well and they can also frag. Also BONECOLD is on the market even though his IGLing has been questioned. Overall I think there's much potential in tier 2, but its impossible to tell how much impact IGLs have and how they would perform on different team. Still hoping that these pussy teams take some risks with new talent.

Germany is pretty good at LoL, at least on EU level.
Abbedagge, BrokenBlade, Irrelevant, Sertuss, Upset and Kaiser. Country tied with France for having the highest country representation in LEC(lol eu league).
My knowledge of LoL is pretty bad, but those are some good players in LEC level. BrokenBlade likely best topliner in LEC and Irrelevant isn't/wasn't far away. Upset and Kaiser have both been considered as top EU talent not that long time ago and even now, and Abbedagge and Sertuss are both decent midlanes.

BIG was their best, but that roster also had Twisten from Czech(was their star). BIG's most recent roster was Obnoks, Aslan, musashi, luckeRRR and then Twisten before disbanding.

Aslan, Obnoks and musashi are some of the best German Valorant pros and could put guy like al0rante there. They don't really have many star players especially duelists and luckeRRR seems to be one of the only slightly proven IGLs. They have decent more supportive players, but lack star talent.

Good from Riot. Fuck Jett mains and less cluster shit and more actual gunplay. Really good.

They were underperforming like in Masters 3 Berlin. They looked much worse until that point compared to how they looked regionally. That's why people don't give them credit for Champions because they only saw LAN Acend and never online Acend. Like they looked better than Gambit until Masters 3 seeding matches.

Elon Musk: Height and weight advantage (187cm vs 171cm)
Zuckerberg: more fit, 13 year younger, more agile(I assume)

so Zuckerberg takes this I believe, also I would imagine Zuckerberg going more tryhard on this because he has more to proof, is younger etc

You could make no EMEA included international superteam and they would still get owned by Fnatic

I wish more EMEA teams took risks with tier 2 talent. Even for IGLs there's guys like Enzo, roxie, YaBoiLewis(if he wants to IGL), UNFAKE, RobbieBK, falltw, br0die etc, and who knows how some of them could perform in tier 1 with better rosters and support. I dont think they would do much worse when some of the tier 1 teams have even forced non-IGL players to IGL for them.

Liquid looks so bad

If EMEA is 1 team region then other regions are 0 team regions

Who would you rank higher then? Derke's ability to play both Raze and Jett on top level already puts him above most duelists and he is already top tier on pretty much everything you want from duelist. I think its between him and Aspas.

yeah it was a grind but Saico was only faction server I ever played outside of some old school Redstone-something server and once I met people it was hard to switch

Yes. SaicoPvP Witch realm goated

No, EDG definitely have a chance at winning. But I think people are sleeping on Giants.

Fnatic vs Liquid is the real el classico
