Liquid is missing their IGL and top 1/2 sentinel player in the world. If this game was this close while Liquid plays with 2 individually relatively weak subs with week of prep they would have likely dominated the game with full roster.
If they had full roster they would have been rolling this tournament
He is better than all of those 3. Aspas is close but Derke better than him.
this tournament has been fucking crazy
LEC owns LCS
He has the chances of being the best duelist player. He was top 5 if not top 3 Chamber player(his Chamber gets rated low while his stats show otherwise, only behind Yay and Ardiis) he was and likely still is top 3 Jett player and on top of that his Raze is really good. He can play all 3 and be insane with all of them. No other player can put up such good performances with all the 3 agents.
No they haven't? Even their latest roster had Enzo and Mistic in it. Enzo came from tier 2 and wasn't anything crazy as individual and Mistic has always been decent but nothing crazy. Leo and Chronicle are massive upgrades on paper. Arguably best or at least 2nd EMEA initiator and Chronicle who was considered as one of the best in the world if not the best last year and even earlier this year. Add Derke who is top 3 duelist and then Alfajer who has shown really high peak and you have superteam.
They usually perform really well in EMEA before events so that's why they are hyped. But you realistically cannot be hyped of this roster. It legit has 4 superstar level players and on paper is the most stacked roster there is. Compare that to Enzo and Mistic.
Unfortunately true, true and true
We all know that the core of OpTic will carry NA next year like they have done in past 1.5 years already. Nothing new.
If roster of Derke, Alfajer, Leo, Chronicle and Boaster isn't the best on paper then I don't know who is
People forget but BONECOLD usually used to be the 2nd fragger for Acend during Koldamenta days. Seems like IGLing really took a toll on his individual game so nice to see him back doing well individually.
100T are slightly overrated. I'm telling you. People act like they were amazing in Champions while in reality they weren't anything special. Peal and Haven victory over Fnatic and both of those maps looking really shaky for Fnatic. And one close Breeze (upset map) vs DRX. Outside of that they got pretty outclassed on all the other maps. Just look at FNS VOD reviewing Fnatic vs 100T Bind. 100T playing so scared just like they did today vs Heretics.
Yes. Why not? He makes some cents from it but I don't care.
His aim isn't that good and he always looks shaky, but he is clearly smart player listening to his interviews etc and his util is decent. Really fun to listen to.
He has always been relatively weak as individual. Some people just rate him highly because of couple of clutch rounds during Copenhagen and Champions. Outside of that he always looked pretty weak on LAN. Before Masters 2 Copenhagen he looked decent in EMEA but if you look at LANs he always performs worse.
Nah great showing from them tbh. I didn't and don't expect much from them but they still managed to have really close 3 maps vs team that some people predict to be top 2 in Americas lol. With like month of pracc as well. But they def showed potential and happy to see great performances from keloqz on Ascent and Boo proving that he can be top tier IGL calling and even fragging wise.
Invididually no way. purp0 was their best or 2nd best player. Iluri used to be their IGL though so maybe he added more calling to this team.
Hard to know. People only say this because these 2 ended up having good games vs tier 1 teams. Its really possible they won't be even top 5 Ascensions who knows. There are good talent in tier 2.
Sayf is super good especially since Masters 2. He was really good before as well but feels like Masters 2 really activated him and good to see that he managed to continue that form into LCQ and now RedBull. Really good individual but underrated.
100T is overrated anyway
Heretics is testing weird comp and Fokus tier 2 team with a sub lmao
Even that 10% is more than what Champions crowd was, plus finals crowd was way more stacked than Champions finals. And on top of that that shit would happen in any game. Like roll Champions finals XSET vs Xerxia and see the viewership. Also it wasnt' the only event and Major Antwerp clears any Valorant event so far.
he just walked from the middle while clapping, while the actual guys were coming from side and then he just walked to stage with them. Watching replay of it is just comedic masterpiece
Holy fuck that actually happened lmao has to be one of the funniest moments in a while the way how he just walked casually and joined the group
it will always be shit until there's custom servers aka never
I'm not arguing which one of the games is better or will be in the future, but at this point this year I strongly believe Valorant shouldn't be winning the game of the year award. But its based on community votes and I believe CSGO and LoL esport viewers aren't as active in this type of community vote things. And I'm not even arguing Valorant vs CSGO only when you also have LoL in there.
Yes improved from last year but it still isn't LoL or even CSGO level. Like how can you look at LoL for example and say that its worse esport game compared to Valorant? Even their regional LANs were more hype than Valorant Champions ngl. I obviously like Valorant but cmon.
Antwerp Major? Really good event. And what Valorant had? All of their events were pretty mid compared to what esports event can be and were nothing compared to Antwerp for example. And then you have LoL with Worlds, MSI and even the regional finals were really good. Valorant had Reykjavik with no crowd, Copenhagen with small crowd and Champions Istanbul that was overall pretty mid and they just recycled same elements every event. Worlds finals alone is better than all 3 combined. Game Changers was cool tho because women scene isn't usually focused on but thats it. Even all the 3rd party tournament have been really meh so far.
Undeserved IMO. Game Changers was cool, but outside of that no way Valorant should be winning it over LoL or even CSGO in year 2022. Maybe next year but not yet. CSGO kind of fumbled with recent Major, but then you have LoL.
Yay deserved tho and I'm fine with LOUD.
I mean I voted for Yay because he had amazing year, but him winning over all the other players wasn't something I expected. Same with Valorant as the "esport game of the year". Felt bit weird but I guess Brazilian fans voted like crazy or Riot just paid them lol
link didn't work for me. Just said that couldn't be found.
I predict them to win, but I'm not saying they will 100% win. I also predicted them to win G-Loot and even though they didn't they had close game vs NaVi all things considered. My point is that people are just talking how C9, 100T or TL will just destroy everyone else while putting no respect on teams like Vitality(especially) and Heretics. These 2 teams can definitely challenge the "top dogs" and make them work for their victory. They have the quality and potential to do well and possibly even win the event (low %), but get really overlooked due to low clout.
I didn't downvote. I downvote really rarely and only clear bait comments.
Vitality has Molsi who is one of the best flex players in EMEA. Twisten who is good enough to go against any of those players. Bonecold is pretty similar to Klaus in many ways if you think about it. ceNder can put up performances, but I agree that he didn't play that great in G-Loot. And ofc Destrian is kinda weak as individual but I think he will perform better in RedBull and he is support anyway.
I wouldn't call KRU stronger on paper
Nah I actually watch these teams and players and don't just rate them based on clout. Ofc it also includes some copium but it isn't deciding factor. They can def put up a fight even if they lost in the end.
Not really. Molsi and Twisten are amazing duo and both Bonecold and ceNder can perform to decent level as well. Only Destrian is unknown because he played pretty bad in G-Loot. KRU doesn't have "way better players".
Vitality got this. I think them and Team Heretics will perform way better than some expect and make the tournament competitive.
Molsi and Twisten duo can challenge any of the teams and if Bonecold keeps performing like he did in G-Loot, and ceNder doesn't have terrible tournament (played below my expectations) I think they will do fine. Destrian is bit questionably for now, but I think it can't be much worse and I think he will look better as time goes by. They had some cool ideas in G-Loot and have already played some officials. Also as I said I think this team will get better and better as they build structure.
And Team Heretics has a lot of firepower and experience if they are in form. If guys like Zeek and Mixwell can put up similar performances as they did in India they could do well as well. Their chemistry already looked pretty good and Boo's calling seemed to be good.
People only look at TL, 100T and C9 but Vitality and Heretics can definitely give them a fight.
Ardiis is still European player, also Sayf 100% deserves to be here. He was beast during Copenhagen and EMEA LCQ. If Guild had done better as a team Sayf could have been the best EMEA Chamber if he continued performing on similar level.
I only read books during elementary school, but one that I liked the most and that stayed in my mind was:
The Brothers Lionheart
its kids book, but I was so fascinated of the way they approach topics like death and afterlife for a kids book.
Ardiis, Derke, Sayf > Yay, Cryo, Dicey(?)
yay is the best, but as trio
His peaks are good tier 1 level, but unfortunately he is usually really inconsistent and doesn't really perform on regular games. He turns into great player during playoffs usually for some reason. Pretty big reason why G2 reached Masters 1 Reykjavik earlier this year and why they also did well in EMEA LCQ. Really hope he can find some consistency.
Don't remember all, but that Jett knife with her picture init, Recon Ghost and that white/golden Marshal skin and then that ugly 3D halloween? texture glass OP and then 2 random skins.
nah hoody is good as well. He didn't have great final moments in G2, but he is one of the better flex players in EMEA and even performed well in Masters Iceland 2022 considering how shitty G2 looked. Really good player overall and will see how he fits into sentinel role on Giants.
