ya it's obvious, NA esports teams always have weak mental and lack of intuition. EU is always a step ahead of them

on ascent she's good because you're more in need of a hard entry with how awkward A main/B main are. chamber is still insanely broken all around tho

they were never the consensus best tho, beat none of the emea teams (while 2 of the best emea teams couldn't even field a full roster)

i feel like after masters berlin there hasn't been a solid number 1 team in valorant

are they ever going to have regional VCT qualifiers/playoffs on LAN for NA/EMEA? feel like the level of competition would be higher and a lot more exciting

nvm ur a genius im so sorry for doubting u

nah u didn't dw

very true, i just think it's moronic to say that yay is the sole carry of optic

yup, a good example is how LOUD beat optic in bo3 but literally 90% of people knew optic were going to win the bo5 because of how much better their map pool was

they legit have to have brain dmg or smth idk what's wrong with them ATP

"optic can't win without yay carrying"
"only reason optic won was because of yay"

immediately after, yay has 13 kills and optic still win LMAO

ya just need to have the equip time lowered and speed slightly increased, and keep the jumping shit nerfed

basically revert op to original, and nerf the shit out of chamber imo

wdym, yay wasn't hard carrying and they still 3-0'd LOUD. aspas had the highest acs in the bo5, but optic had 3 players above 200 acs while aspas was the only player on LOUD with over 300 acs. so by OP's logic, are LOUD nothing without aspas?

and optic's finals mvp was literally marved, and they also have victor who has insane impact on jett and neon

well yes, i'd imagine they'd be bad playing 4v5 without their best player

no as in wippie literally couldn't touch the game for a month lol that is way different from not competing in a pro match for months. he literally couldn't hit shots since it was his first game back even touching his pc in 30+ days

i agree with ur first part, but the reason they looked significantly worse was because wippie legit couldn't play the game for a month lol

nah them getting 4 was what caused the win. they got 3 last map and lost

dude i've seen 4 comments of u crying about how they have to beat faze jesus christ

prolly held shift a bit too long when typing out his name

i mean babybay has been popping off this entire stage 1 and 2, and these maps he hasn't been his best so you can't really say that faze are just dependent on dicey

not lookin good rn homie

well he just lost them the pivotal rounds in split, and just lost them a pivotal round in fracture. hopefully they don't lose off that!

i don't wanna sound like a wardell fanboy but i think 100t could have been an insane team with someone like wardell on chamber and asuna as primary duelist. will has performed well today tho so idk

hopefully he keeps it up for this map i really wnat faze to win

have u seen him today? i feel like there's a good chance of a 2-0

should be fine for 100T, they have an insane coaching staff which imo puts them over the edge. faze clearly don't know how to handle the pressure or adapt

dawg faze are choking lmao, did u see flyuh hard whiff on 2 stunned players and dicey's numerous misplays before his lucky ass clutch? they are 100% feeling the pressure

yup i had some hope after pistol win but after i saw them on offense gun rounds i knew it was over

insane at the art of choking LMAO

wtf are you talking about? if they're the better team they will win the bo3 it's not that deep

ya called this shit

11-7 wtf are u from the future or some shit??? dude is clairvoyant

CHILL DAWG DON'T JINX IT THEY ARE LOSING SPLIT FOR SURE RMR? !!!

HOPEFULLY MAN I WANT BABYBAY ON LAN

8-4 half no way faze win this map LMAO, actually unfortunate since they threw some rounds too. hopefully faze can bounce back on last 2 maps

dude is gatekeeping an esports team LMAO

FOSHO JIT

i think they will, HOPEFULLY NOT THO I WANT BABYBAY AT LAN

he just did it again wtf is this man

ngl i thought tex should be dropped for android in stage 1 cus of how insane android is, but after watching these matches and seeing how good tex has been, i genuinely think s0m might be the most replaceable player on the team

i think eeiu is a super solid player that they won't drop. same with ethan ngl. i think if anyone's going to get dropped it's most likely s0m or tex due to how many insane duelist/chamber players there are. there aren't a lot of solid dependable flex players like eeiu and ethan

wait, so they wanted him to play an entry style role??? after seeing how broken chamber is and how good wardell is with the op? makes 0 sense ngl

feel like asuna should be a primary duelist ngl

so true, it's genuinely such a big deterrent to watching NA valorant

best team NA after optic right?

naw derrek is deffo better imo, just from the eye test

how big is ur mousepad

d3ffo never duo'd with ploo tho?

ya but it's not a game like cs where theres 2 flashes for each person and 5 smokes. plus the movement speed in val is slower, not to mention bigger target size. having a cs-style OP in this game would be insanely broken, although i still hate this current OP because of how clunky it is
