he's fucking crazy. their util usage is also so good. they swing and scale off of literally everything

pretty sure it's persia yeah

freeing is good but i'm ashamed to admit that I've been skipping Dplus' games 😔

Margaret's cypher is different. wins literally every fight on his site istg

jp: Riddle Order redeeming their split 1 qual fumble & sweeping the regular season apart from a SCARZ upset
hk/tw: Oblivion Force & ONE both showcasing pretty dominant performances. Don't see a world where the ascension representative isn't between one of them
kr: Sun Prisa is the obvious favorite (similar story to Riddle Order minus the one loss)
cn: very competitive mechanic-heavy league. atm the CCG and RA have generally been the most consistent, but Kulin Esports has been outpacing with their lineup aim diffing literally everyone (they also play surprisingly decent fundamental valorant)

Sentinels, eg, loud, blg, prx, fnatic, cgrs, cove, aspas, potter, shorty whiff, ardiis double agent, judge, fnatic, 100T, LEV 13-4 x2

yeah but they left after all of them didn't make partnership

The only 3 relevant teams outside of val are Keepbest, CCG, and RA. The others are the cn equivalent of YFP or TurtleTroop.

i mean i would put CCG over RA but I just personally like them more

amer: MXS or OXG
emea: MOUZ
pac: Riddle Order
china: rare atom (Kulin Esports would do better though)

they're not even gonna be in vct in 2 years

also means that the losing team was most likely destroying them on buy rounds, too

both pistols lost = convincing
1 pistol won = comfortable
both pistols won = way closer than the score shows

it goes so hard

wolves being that high is crazy

looking back in hindsight their close games were mostly from their opponents underestimating them and not preparing for the aim diff (life was going nuclear). I love the ASE boys but it cannot be understated how much DelB, Spitfires, and Sword9 all contribute to the core with their overall more sensible approach to the game

outside of Trace every other org just had more clout and following in other games & platforms ngl. also without life they probably wouldn't have done as well as AG are doing rn

aspas & texture clear unfortunately

the one topic of discussion that makes me wish there was a keyword mute option. holy fuck everything around this debate is so braindead

both are meh because both mediums are dominated by oversaturated genres and slop like the modern comic industry, it's just that those are pandered to the common weeb instead of superhero nerds. though I would say I like manhwa more because I feel like it's still more prone to writers & artists experimenting with their storytelling compared to manga

lightning is more likely to strike thrice than someone giving genuinely good advice here LMFAOOOO

Language barrier with previous coach, and probably severe mentality issues. Every loss has been getting less close & their competition is improving faster than they are.

idk why they signed him to fucking igl when NiP didn't do shit at ascension. why not poach an upcoming CN tier 2 igl instead?

big crossfire talent who migrated to Valorant. if he ever plays AND it works out it'll be really good for them

BLG management was fucking COOKING with these pickups

meh their main and ONLY issue is never showing up when it absolutely matters. they've gotten a fuck ton of firepower since kickoff so I'm pretty confident that if they have time it'll be fine

FPX wins, Trace 2nd, BLG 3rd & EDG qualify via points. script right there

they can qualify if they sneak past nova and wolves into playoffs & make a run for top 3. BELIEVE

the fns effect

from the looks of it a lot of the teams have been improving steadily since kickoff. i'd say by champs next year there will be another team besides FPX/EDG that'll be able to play closely against decent international competition

lowkey might be a banger

With how structured AG look atm it's fully within the realm of possibility that they can cleanly 2-0 here

it seems like I was correct on my assumptions! I think this is the first ever map this season where AG win without the enemy team snowballing rounds. I know it's TYLOO but MAYBE this is a sign of what's to come with their ability to cleanly close out maps. If this keeps up maybe they can actually get a map off Trace!

THAT'S MY DUELIST. MY DUELIST

i meannnnnnn FUT won against FNATIC & LEV kekw

mibr, furia, split 1 NRG, C9 when Oxy can't carry, LEV after Aspas dies?

remove that AG flair this instant

pac: pure aggression
amer: some of the worst man advantage losses ever seen
emea: 95% pure slop
china: mechanically heavy thrifties & aces

it's so obvious that they have no idea wtf they're doing when it comes to coaching or rosters

emea

yeah that's true she does have better job security in GC (tier 3.5)

eh I think that's fine. 17 y/o with a full career ahead. it'd be a missed opportunity if she doesn't pull a bob and get signed after this gc season

she needs a tier 2 team with longevity. how much longer are we gonna see her farm tier 3 & 4 bots until she gets a place to actually develop her skills against better competition

allat just to bottom frag

Since Tyloo is largely an unknown quantity at the moment due to the loss of Flexin & the introduction of coldfish, I'm going to stack my faith onto my boys AG. Assuming they have been improving from their mistakes against Trace and (hopefully) have gotten over their map fumbling, I can see them 2-0ing. 2-1 with them throwing a 11-3 lead as usual

here before simp4som

never gonna stop 💪 #Getbunted #my9thdecapitation #Praisethemonk #Spittingfire #iheckingloveDelb

FPX (self explanatory)
EDG (self explanatory)
Trace (if they stop choking)
DRG (they're on a pretty good upward trajectory)

nova & all gamers have a pretty good chance at sneaking the 4th seed if they both keep improving like they have been so far, but it also depends on the other 4 mentioned above either fumbling or having some shit go wrong behind the scenes

SEN are gonna get grouped bro
