how u know

I like both guys and think that especially Scream is really good player, but I think this is for the better tbh. In my opinion this benefits both Liquid and KCorp. Also KCorp will finally have some good players so they won't just be complete bottom feeder (I hope for competition)

That's Overwatch for you. You are not too late tho. Maybe its biased because I obviously know how the game works, but I don't think it takes that long to understand how everything works. Its pretty simple after playing for like 2 weeks. Also there's many people coming back after long time and some new players so no one knows how to play 5v5 and its just random. Will need some time for people to learn I guess. But yes 5v5 is more random than 6v6 IMO.

No this isn't super team. Not even close. It could do decent especially when they all get to play with native language, but I don't expect them breaking into top 5 EMEA.

So good to see him on Liquid. I have never supported 1 specific team, but this might change for next season.

So mid but I guess the melee is kind of cool. Maybe it looks better in hand if the flames have cool effect.

Liquid is going to be such likeable team with cool personalities. Jamppi, nAts, Redgar, soulcas and Sayf all have really chill and pretty wholesome personalities. Actually Jamppi, nAts and Sayf are my go to for Valorant streams. Going to be so fun cheering for this team!

I don't see v0okashu or Wolfen making it, but agree with Cloud and Monsteerr. Also Molsi should be picked.

Seems to be close to the Bosporus based on the ships.

aight

Really likely, but this doesn't prove it.
Both posted the exact same picture and it isn't taken in Netherlands. Its likely taken in Istanbul instead where Redgar is currently.

dude its exact same picture. Redgar is really likely joining TL, but Jamppi literally just reuploaded the same photo. Also that picture isn't taken in Netherlands(99% sure), but Istanbul instead. Liquid HQ is also located in Utrech that doesn't even have wide water areas like that, its likely the river thing that goes through Istanbul based on the ships. Bosporus.

could be vitality as well both use yellow

I'm so surprised by this. I think baddyG was good especially for the role he was playing. There isn't that many good non-IGL controller players in EMEA. Really wondering what will be their approach going forward. Will BONECOLD stay? Will he return to controller or stay as initiator? Who will they replace baddyG with? Boo if they want IGL, maybe starxo, zeddy? Maybe trying to import even?

Yes it feels bit wasted in current meta. Both Jamppi and Sayf outside of Chamber feels like waste. But in my head Sayf changing roles makes more sense with this roster. He has experience playing flex role agents while Jamppi doesn't.

Because Sayf's firepower is higher than soulcas'. Soulcas could become their full time flex player, but I doubt it. I guess it also depends on their approach. Do they want to have fragging entry or just hard entry who makes space and dies a lot. Soulcas' Raze is good, but I feel like he was only playing it because Scream couldn't. I would much rather see Sayf on that role.

Currently yes, but they can easily change roles because of how flexible they are. For example my prediction is that Sayf will be switching to flex role. He has played Raze and Skye before on pretty good level during like Stage 2? Or Jamppi could play initiators, but I doubt if they are keeping soulcas.

Sayf's Raze is pretty good tho. He even played it on Guild. And I don't know how important Neon really is and if its needed I believe Sayf can pretty easily adapt to that. Both Jamppi and Sayf are flexible.

My guess would be either Jamppi goes initiator, or Sayf goes flex (Raze, Skye, KayO) both have history playing those roles. I think Sayf going flex makes more sense if they are keeping soulcas (who also has played initiator and flex lol).

Maybe they are moving Jamppi to initiator? Sayf Chamber/Jett, Soulcas flex(Raze, KayO etc), Redgar controller, nAts sentinel, Jamppi initiator? Or Sayf is going to take flex role because we already saw little bit of his Raze in Guild and it was decent and he has played Skye as well. Both Jamppi and Sayf are flexible.

What you mean with Jamppi? No one has said he is leaving.

I don't know if I have ever tried this exact one because I don't really know what it means, but mint chocolate is good ice cream flavor so this is also. Also it can't be bad it just can't. I'm not even big fan of mint, but its good in ice cream and chocolate.

I really hope Cloud finds a good team in franchise league. He is so good and flexible. Would hate to see him having to grind tier 2. IMO he is superstar in the making.

I mean yeah, but many even pros and coaches rate nukkye as like top 3 player in EMEA. He hasn't performed as well on LAN, but he is highly rated for a reason. Also feels like G2 always underperforms on LANs.

"better region" lol OpTic was only team who was doing anything for NA for most of last year and even they already got split into pieces. And even the core lost arguably their 2 best players (yay and Marved/not so much lately). We will see how these teams do, but many seem to forget they haven't done much in the past.

I was doubtful he would be exploring options within EMEA when he already had a spot in NaVi and all the "big spenders" already had players of his role. And there was rumors that EG wasn't doing much. So it only left those 2 and as someone who comes from Overwatch I know that NRG(San Francisco Shock) are big spenders. So in my opinion it was pretty obvious and NRG was even slightly more likely than Sentinels.

Wasn't this clear as day? Everyone knew Ardiis was getting offers from NA after George's leak and he wasn't joining NaVi. So that only left NRG and Sentinels as only candidates.

True, but I'm so tired of this because of LoL. Luckily the situation isn't the same in Valorant as it is LoL, but I just hate the tradition of NA teams importing good EU players just to ruin them and send back home year later. Also importing is overall bad at this point IMO. You have local talent so why not keep them and try to develop those players. They try to win, but its just not good sign. I would have been mad if EU team had imported like Cryo or something. Its just bad because it weakens the other by taking some of their best out while also possibly worsening the future of own region. Like NA has already imported Xeta(going back to Korea I guess), Sayaplayer, ec1s(not good) and now Ardiis. It makes it so much less interesting and becomes frustrating.

best region

NA already starting importing players

G Pro Superlight, but I've been thinking of trying new mouse at some point. Out of relevant mice I've had original G Pro Wireless(better than Superlight IMO because slightly heavier and has better side buttons, Superlight side buttons suck fucking ass), Vaxee Outset and Endgame Gear XM1r. Vaxee Outset shape is just bit weird for me because its ergo and cable is pretty bad. And XM1r sides are like tilted so my hand/skin gets kind of under it when playing idk cable is good at least.

Maybe going to try ergo wireless next like Deathadder V3 or like Xtrfy M4. I don't know.

but recommendations Pulsar has mice like X2, then these Lamzu Atlantis, Razer Viper 2 Pro etc.

Qutioner > cNed

Hard to say because we don't know about possible 3rd party tournaments this year and its quite long before kickoff tournament. Teams have time to bond.

thats cool

Nothing wrong with his look. He looks fine. Really sad to see all the hate and jokes flying around knowing that this must have been really hard thing for him to do considering the unrealistic expectations from massive audience. Especially if you naturally are more insecure/unconfident person as well seeing slight uncomfort in the video. But good for him considering that he can finally do content he wants and attend events etc and this must have been huge obstacle stopping him from doing those things.

Obviously I don't know much about this dude and have heard that his fanbase harasses people and acts like little minions and he has done so weird stuff in the past so I guess some of the jokes/hate is kind of understandable? But still shouldn't be accepted IMO. Also this whole hyping thing definitely made it worse, but I think its kind of understandable. I would imagine many wanting to see his face so why not make it a big thing and create hype as content creator. Also I would believe this might as well worked as mental preparation for him. Show your face to selected people on internet and then they can kind of describe how you look and then finally show your face to the audience. Also getting used to people seeing your face under brand and taking first steps with people you considered friends or colleagues is easier than doing it with huge crowd of people. It sets certain expectations and may take burden off his shoulders (don't know how streamers reacted or what they said).

all in all I'm happy for him, sad for hate, and I understand why he "hyped" this up if he actually used it as pressure reliever kind of.

Where is this sayf info coming from? But Sayf to Vitality would be super cool.

Cloud maybe? He could pick duelist role or initiator let it be flashers or Sova/Fade. So insane player and so little are talking about him.

bruh

Clearly have VCT spot in their mind. Just wondering are their forced to get 3 Turkish if they decide to stay in Turkey or does it matter? Like imagine if they got some of ex-NaVi together somehow:

Cloud
zeddy
Braveaf
7ssk7
plus 1 maybe chiwawa or Jady

even tho I believe guys like Cloud and 7ssk7 deserve spot in franchising league

nukkye is insane individual, but I don't know how to feel about this. I said before that Scream is kind of like NiKo of Valorant, but in reality nukkye is that even more. And I'm not big fan of NiKo even though I think he is one of if not the best rifler in CSGO. Its hard to say because I have never been in these teams obviously, but these type of players seem to be the problem. Way too individual focused and seem bit hard to work with and toxic. G2 Valorant actually reminded me a lot of G2 CSGO in that regard.
But who knows, maybe ANGE1 can put him into his place.

and also roles will be interesting. Will nukkye move to Chamber/Jett, or will it be possible even Shao if nukkye goes initiator? Or is Zyppan switching? I don't know. On paper this team is going to be stacked af.

Hu Xi, Patriarch of the 'Xi Tu Sect' known for his supreme intellect and strategical prowess. He managed to reunite China under his banner by leading a campaign against the 'Fa Ze Clan' who dominated the region. Hu Xi was previously part of the 'CCP Flames' who were a state funded organisation but was seeked out by Ancestor Carlo Sr to lead his troops against the enemy.

His members include the genius prodigy Mon Se, the twins of the great Kovac Family and the stone faced Jia Kuan Sun. Fortune tellers and dream readers have prophesied that the 'Xi Tu Sect' will manage to win the great Major and bring a new era of prosperity.

Nothing I said was wrong. Valorant only players can cope as much as they want.

Grats!

you got it: they can compete at the top

Ask yourself why these "few dudes" are still lingering in that game

His rifle is good, but I think he would be wasted on rifle role. Obviously teams have long wait for next season so people have time to make role changes. But I overall doubt Ardiis would go to TL if he wanted to stay in EU. He has spot in NaVi already.

Nice to hear! My plans are to eat, take a poop and sleep.

Yeah but both of them are some of the best Chamber/OP players in EMEA, so picking both wouldn't make much sense. Also if Jett becomes meta its also played by both (maybe). And Jett and/or Chamber have been meta for long time and won't change any time soon. Like would you put either of these guys on Raze?

Valorant abilities are nothing compared to CSGO utility. At least not at this point. And that is only one part.

In my opinion Liquid 95% sure

when he matched with Jamppi yesterday their synergy seemed to be good and they constantly joked around and did plays together. Could be just random, but it adds to many things that may point out TL nAts.
