this game's a comedy of errors. both teams do something great and then throw it all away in multiple big throws

"someone's gonna cook. might as well be me!" ass comp

XLG gives me more hope of a breakout performance than Trace atp. they have aura in their gameplay

the guy had a trip that was virtually global, two tps, an op that he could get for free, and a handheld guardian. the amount of utility and midrounding you would have to do in order to make him irrelevant was fucking astounding at the time. he was boring to play against, boring to watch, and boring to analyze

when the one guy holds angles and entire sides of the map so fucking well it changes how the macro is played then yes. it is way fucking worse

mechanically "gifted" players are being more rewarded than they've ever been. if anything Chamber meta actually stunted a lot of people's growth from how oppressive he was

if what you're saying is true then that's pretty good. gonna have to wait to see though

it's because Bail's trying to make them more sensible but they don't have the fundamentals or discipline yet to make it work. They don't have many protocols yet still play normal macro-wise, and whzy's the only one who tries to make shit happen. Whenever the enemy team's snowballing it feels like they roll over and let them until whzy or nephh does some genius or psychopathic play that brings them back into it. it's tilting af but you can't help but feel bored as shit whenever you remember their games

also sleeping on coconut. he can come in clutch sometimes

Unless they throw another curveball then Monk, Bunt, and (definitely) spitfires will not be playing throughout the season. Hopefully they can do a good job at developing K1ra and Bai during this season, since they're the biggest standouts so far

mimi disregarding CN evolution as mickey mouse while still using FNS' history as a point to put NRG high 💀

i would but i'm already committed to one yk

AG starting roster's going to be player, deLb, Lsn, K1ra, and Hanche

they went buck-wild in Crossfire. I'm not sure about their other rosters (don't follow those games) but in Crossfire they had multiple teams, academies, etc. look at their liquipedia 💀

yeah it's their business model as a company. of course they still try to WIN but most of their money in-game comes from transactions with other teams

they're an org that basically focuses on talent development. it's how they look like they have a fuck ton of money as an organization. they go really deep into developing cheap talent on their team and academies and then sell them off with buyouts. the insane thing is that it fucking works and they're successful in almost every game they've ever invested into

NizhaoTZH's contract ended a little bit ago, so he's not actually on the roster. It wouldn't be a surprise if they let someone else go atp because Bunt and Spitfires are on the market with buyouts & Monk is replaceable

most likely paying most of the roster league minimum due to them being upcoming talents and dirt cheap. they never pay high buyouts just due to the fact that they don't have to

i really don't give a fuck at this point if they go 0/5. they develop young and upcoming talent mainly so they don't really have to expend a lot for their rosters. most of their players are developed through academy so they're dirt cheap compared to tier 1 diaspora. also now I have absolutely zero idea who they're going to have starting. this basically reaffirms my belief that Bunt is not getting out there, but this also puts deLb's place into question since the roles are all over the place now

i swear to god the names weren't different last time I checked. I might be the worst person at spotting differences in people with the same igns because no fucking way this happened a THIRD TIME

nevermind then alright this is getting fucking annoying now. i have encountered at least 4 different motherfuckers with the same ign in this region. what the FUCK is this. i thought they were the same since one of them was on totoro & the other one was the trace stand-in. crazy fucking coincidence

they brought two more people now.

whelp I'm fucking stupid but the talent quality's still good regardless

all things considered the only weak player on this roster is MrCANI. I'm gradually becoming more of a fan of this lineup ngl

YHchen hasn't played with them for almost a year what the fuck are you talking about?

no anybody who's watched them knows this is a smart decision. ppl trying to discredit their evo win as mickey mouse didn't see them actually play

used to be 3 but pl1xx was doomed from the start on wolves

they always blow up too. the "kpopification" shit is more than enough proof that they're a whole different breed

they gotta be the most successful baiters in the valorant community atp. no one else even comes close 💀

don't remind me of the rest of them 😭. literal superteam of rising mechanical talents on paper. hopefully fayde can show us more of what they're capable of because they're lacking some depth

this season is theirs to prove everyone wrong for sure. Yuicaw and Spring are too talented to be this inconsistent

#MRGWIN

I'm always looking at them for how they SHOULD be doing. their roster quality is too good for how fucking terrible they disappoint and I'm not comfortable writing them off until I see them crash and burn for the rest of the season myself

their only real competition for qualifying to toronto at the moment is XLG BLG and (maybe) wolves from what we've seen so far. they could definitely make it from what we've seen, and in my opinion, should be considered favorites depending on how confident you are in BLG

idk if it's a hot take that NOVA are making an actually smart decision. They've been looking soooo much more coordinated since putting in OBONE. I hope Swerl's learning mandarin and gets better at communicating. He has a bright future in the region

got 2nd in split 3 and thought he was hot shit ig

didn't mean to reply to you 😭. I agree though Wolves' roster on paper is one of the best in the region all they need to do is clean Siu's calling up. anything other than top 4 playoffs is a failure (unfortunately)

I'm pretty high on babyblue despite thinking he would be mid when he was picked up. Stew's stew and jkuro's inconsistent but can be a massive fragger in key moments. If Ego can clean up their fundamentals they could definitely win this

I give them a slap on the wrist because everyone outside of Monk is fucking gone from the active lineup and Fire3 probably didn't start his system until a bit before he was announced. After like week 3 though they deserve every single piece of shit-talk available

no announcement yet but the roster's maybe going to be K1ra, Monk, lsn, bai, deLb. Bunt has an active buyout and player MAY be subbed in from the academy, I have no idea about them

or Botvi 😂

NAVI 2023 3rd/4th at Lock In -> Grouped in Tokyo -> Grouped in Champs
PRX 2024 3rd Madrid -> 6th Shanghai -> Grouped in Champs
EDG 2025 3rd Bangkok -> ???

he's eating the entirety of kr tier 2 alive 💀 nvm was thinking of TenTen but yeah he's still a good anchor

What people are missing with NOVA isn't only that they have the most upset potential internationally, but the coaching staff are focusing on laying a solid foundation for their structure. Their macro and fundamentals have improved so much compared to last season, and they've evolved past the mediocre flash-in-the-pan form that barely scraped them into stage 1 playoffs. Legit they are THE team to look out for in terms of improvement so far

I made a thread previously on which teams/rosters people thought would be future breakouts for CN
what current players do you guys think will be future staples of the different leagues?

do you have any idea what they're doing??? I thought they'd immediately announce smth but I guess not

same let me cop

they had a complete staff overhaul, rebuilt the roster and a lot of shit's been going on behind the scenes in regards to player buyouts. they're shit rn but I'd wait until split 1 to make any accusations of the coach's competence

not surprised since historically the org is really good on getting on top of younger prospects in academy. I wonder who it is for him to say that this early into the league's lifespan

Makes sense. I'm really curious to see how they handle all the roles along with the igling. Player isn't bad but imo he doesn't really add anything that other options would bring at the moment, but I guess that's why they're letting him cook some more in the academy. I need to hop onto weibo and bilibili more so I can have a better idea on wtf is going on T_T
