Yeah but you can also utilize them with Sova pretty well. I just think that mid is bit tricky for Fade outside of prowlers. Also I think that whole A site on attack and defense is bit awkward for Fade haunts. You don't really have as many options to either clear close, site or play defensively on these or at least its very predictable as you are quite limited. B is fine, but I think you benefit more from drone compared to prowlers.

idk I think Fade isn't as good(still fine). Prowlers are always good and good on this map, but i think haunt is kinda bad compared to recon. I haven't played much Corrode but IMO Fade felt bit awkward at times while Sova has a lot of good spots for good recons.

i know but people will click this thinking its real so its good to hear ideas because at least im clueless

Viper, Sova, Neon, Omen, Cypher
idk maybe replace Cypher or Viper with flash

From top of my head nataNk, RobbieBK and Zander kind of has that TikTok e-boy fitting look.

Its been good for both honestly. Derke just needs to get functioning team and no doubt he still got it. While Fnatic took a risk with prospect but it worked. Honestly if anything this was big W for the region. Derke stayed in EMEA while under Fnatic Kaajak looks like great duelist and gets good experience/confidence.

Sure he could shine better on different agents, but cmon. He got a chance in tier 1 even if on different agents and looked bad. There was really nothing that looked great from him. There is no world where he would deserve a spot on Team Heretics or any other EMEA contender in my opinion.

Why out of any player you would take Serial? Sure he looked good in tier 2 and played bit off-role on Liquid, but no way you would take him after his performance on Liquid. You could take random player from tier 2 and they would likely perform better than this.

Why would any of these have visa issues for rest of the year? They have all played in VCT Berlin. If anything Penny is joining Apeks.

22C chilling

Cases can be bought from Steam marketplace (people can get these free as drops after games or at least could)
Keys have to be bought from CS own market.

You need both to open a case. Keys always cost the same pretty much, while case price depends on their marketplace value so usually older cases cost more money as there's less of them or cases that have good skins in them etc.

Wouldn't really say that yet, but who knows. Ruxic was very good in tier 2 but has been bit inconsistent in tier 1. Hiro also pretty inconsistent with high highs, but low lows. Alexiik I'm not sure how he is going to do. He actually reminds me of MiniBoo. I think both were pretty similar in tier 2 from my memory (real entry duelist playing for team). Shao is good. ANGE1 ints quite a lot but he is experienced IGL and he can frag at times.

but overall I think if Ruxic, Hiro and Alexiik play good form this team could do well and potentially challenge top teams in EMEA

Reminds to be seen, but if their players are on form they can be dangerous. I think both Ruxic and Hiro were kind of meh until their last games in VCT and some maps, but those 2 have shown very good level in some of these offseason events.

Mostly skins that feel "thin/slim". Prime Phantom is good example.

Razer is better in my opinion
symmetrical (Superlight) vs asymmetrical (DAV3). Depends what you like.
Razer DAV3 feels bit bulkier/bigger and maybe feels bit heavier but not by much.
Razer M1/M2 clicks feels better imo. Scrollwheel is more smooth and not as loud as Superlight.
By far biggest difference to me is side buttons as Superlight has pretty small ones and you need more precision to press them while DAV3 has larger, more tactile and easier to press side buttons. Maybe not big thing for everyone, but as someone who uses melee on side buttons having easy to press ones makes a difference.

but both are great mice and it only depends which shape you like more.

absolutely horrendous game from him

Paris classic: insta lock Jett, bad player, toxic, give up after 3 rounds.

thanks bro

Fnatic loves throwing rounds away. I don't think I've seen this many throws in a while. Crazy overheating vs low buys, whiffs, losing multiple rounds to time. Both teams need so much work if they want to win this event.

holy fuck he is throwing rounds left and right. All these slow rounds they lose to time and then individual whiff...

-Ascent

Because FUT isn't the best of Turkey and have still performed relatively well. On top of that if World Cup happened the level of teams would be a lot lower compared to VCT teams to a point where even FUT could win the whole thing or at least place very high over many of the other "contenders".

Turkey has Alfajer, wo0t, MrFalin, Riens, Comeback, Lewn, Lar0k, Yetujey, Xeus, Sociablee etc. Very strong Valorant country on many levels.

Yep. To me watching CS is like watching football. Even if you are not super into any team its still hype af when there's big games. The atmosphere is crazy good and feels like you are part of something big. Especially if there's good close game. I don't think Valorant has ever given me similar feel. Its like watching football vs hockey or something.

Shao could work, but IMO both Cloud and Trexx are better. Both are very flexible and able to play all the initiators + flex if needed like play Raze. Cloud also IGLs for GiantX (even if it isn't great) so he adds to comms. nAts + Cloud + Derke comms would be very strong.

could be him as well didn't just remember what role he plays nowadays

nAts - sentinel/igl
Derke - duelist (if count otherwise Jemkin/Rarga)
Chronicle - flex/initiator
Cloud/Trexx - initiator/flex
Suygetsu - controller (because I can't think any other who has played controller mainly)

MrFalin? He is solid IGL and can also frag at times.

Jamppi. He is very cool guy based on everything I've seen.

This is why Zekken is kind of overrated at times. He has crazy performance games, but he also has some very bad games and bit of choker when it matters.

I feel like there's been so much throwing by almost every team. Like their brains got overheated.

Fnatic keep throwing rounds. Miracle that they are still in.

he saw leaf jump out of B and still didn't half

Spiderman 1 and 2 >>>> and its not even close

Alexiik has been pretty good, but he also had some pretty bad games. Feels bit inconsistent overall. But nice to see him in tier 1 because he has been grinding.

Sunset was terrible from Fnatic in so many levels. Just bad that they have perma ban Pearl and look ass on Sunset.

horrible round from Fnatic. No comms and shit positioning.

Alfajer has been very mediocre whole year I feel like. He finally activated in playoffs and was partly reason why Fnatic made it. Not sure why.

This is good move, but they should have kept Cyvoph unless he was playing bad in scrims

what a burger ending from Patitek. He played so well that round just to panic and miss shot. Forsaken wasn't even thinking about waterfall .

There's nothing problematic or wrong with it. Any team could do it but they don't want to as its hard to make it work.

nice baiting from kamo

kamo has sold this map

Its popular there, but that makes its boring. Everyone just copies same hairstyle. There are Koreans who have different cuts and look very good, but most want the "soft" look.

Honestly anyone with bowl cut. I guess they fit and there are worse individual ones, but its literal copy paste.

Maybe, but I wouldn't be so certain. Heretics had a terrible event and giga underperformed. Even in EMEA look at their game vs TL and then vs FNC. Its like two completely different teams. TL is still in and had unfortunate situation with nAts not being able to be there vs BLG. They still looked much better than MIBR. Now they have shot at making it deeper, but also have had short time to prep. And FNC could still win the event who knows. Outside of Heretics's performance there hasn't been anything much worse than other regions. You could still argue that Heretics looked better than MIBR, and TL with full roster could win vs Wolves/BLG/PRX if not even put a fight vs Sentinels.

Very 50/50 in my mind. I kind of like Liquid's 6 player roster and now with nAts back I think they can do pretty well. I also think that TL could matchup pretty well vs PRX as they also play bit different Valorant. MIBR was ass, but TL played pretty well.

They literally won the least amount of rounds out of any team in history of international events (-kickoffs). You can argue that they played against better teams, but setting record like that shows that they sucked. Heretics sucked as well.

Unironically hes been their worst player so far

Holy fuck what are they doing? Actually 0 sense. Bad ult, bad position, Benjyfishy running through smoke for no reason.

disappointing but honestly with these performances they deserve to get eliminated
