Agree, tejo is by far one of the easiest initators to play

hunter gate is the isekai of korea
plenty of good manwha that isn't braindead solo leveling type clones
reference above list for actually well written stuff

TBATE isnt even a manwha
original work is an english webnovel

We still got peak manwha material like:
Bastard
The Boxer
Wind Breaker (not the JP manga)
Omniscient Reader
Return of the Blossoming Blade

all this peak fiction and no adaptation yet

igling was a problem perhaps?
2g do look extremely lost in every match tbf

ball knowers know that solo leveling is just the beginning of the manwha takeover

my copium is that trailers are often made before the scenes are actually fully completed so it might just be the unfinished state

There is no way this goonfest is your must watch, have some shame.
I have high hopes for lazarus considering the studio and staff working on it.
Real ball knowers know the beginning after the end is the season dark horse.

FNS is the problem, not Ethan
This guy is only there to IGL cause we all know he can't shoot back
But C9 and KRU losses showed that his IGLing can't even compensate for his constant negative scorelines
NRG firepower is too weak to compensate for FNS shooting liability, especially after Verno was dropped

Solution:
Keep s0m, ethan, mada, brawk
FNS to coaching staff
sign a cracked T2 aimer and put him on sentinel
force brawk to IGL and see how it goes
If brawk calls a disasterclass drop either brawk or ethan depending on performance and find an initiator IGL from T2 or free agency

nah its a shared/boosted account
he will have days of instalocking a duelist with like 30-40% HS and suddenly start bottom fragging with like 5-15% HS

ever since the beginning of the year the meta hasn't really settled on any map
rn too many agents are viable in valorant to really develop a meta
most noticable trend is double duelist vs tejo breach comps

watch the match, his raze util is terrible he just aims better

better than s0mething jett overheat simulator, demon1 type raze movement, nonexistent neon, nonexistent yoru

his gekko was solid and if he can learn gekko to that level i'm sure he can adapt to other flash initators

Jingg 100 percent can play jett, its just that something and forsaken are both better jett players so there never was a need to have him on it.

If prx ever would need a dedicated duelist jingg over something is better imo. something doesn't even have 100 hours on raze over his lifetime.

Something flash initiator is the best option you can have without him getting dropped. Him on recon and smokes is arguably worse and I can't see him playing sentinel either. Something by his nature will overheat on every role and I rather he flash for himself on breach than drypeek on sova with full util.

This post was made with no roster changes in mind.

KK raze isnt bad at all because he actually plays it consistently in ranked, which you can't say about something.
Something honestly needs to get off duelist. Yeah he can aim but he basically runs it down and overheats no matter what. When it works he looks like a god but when he doesn't he looks like PROD. He can still put his good aim to use playing second entry after jingg.

so u just want the old roles back but worse? forsaken on raze would be a waste of jingg's raze and you also put jingg offrole.

he played raze like demon1 plays raze, poorly but it works out since he just aim duels and wins

something raze was not a raze diff, it was an aim diff
raze skill ceiling is much higher than jett
better to have the best raze and a good jett rather than one of the best jetts and a mid raze

something cannot play raze neon
jingg can play jett and neon acceptably +OP acceptably well

jingg: main duelist
something: flash init (he can actually set up his own overheat plays instead dry peeking on recon)
forsaken: sentinel +flex
david: scan initator +flex
mindfreak: smokes

thoughts?

you can't even argue that his IGLing outweighs his negative kill impact anymore
its time to retire unc

forsaken army because he can actually play all the required roles at a high level

thyy is insane
remember looking at TLN academy stats and wondering when this guy was gonna get promoted bc his numbers are astonishing

"i think NRG s0m is IGL for boom esports"

foxy9 was looking decent on DRX in 2024 playing mostly initator with some flex
demon1 has looked terrible ever since his miracle 2023 run
don't even compare the two

foxy9 has an insane ceiling but I feel like he is never given the right opportunities to get comfortable
during DRX era he was getting subbed in and out, roleswapped, etc
now he plays one tournament on a new role, understandably doesn't look good on it, and gets benched

put my goat foxy9 back in and GENG win it all

Are you saying that just because its only half his heritage it is weird for him to culturally associate with it? He is still korean even if it is just half. I bet you wouldn't be this weird about it if he was under the russian flag.

I tried lower sens because hyunmin and KK look so fast and precise on low but idk how they do it

this is a fake narrative, it is 100 percent the beard that he started growing in NRG days

good news for u rossy is IGL

he is the best player vs NRG and for non important games

its literally just the voice tbh its too whispery

also said the chinese slur no excuses

10 kills vs 9 kills FNS is the goat

L anime L character L choice to make it his username

you don't know ball brawk is good

If you are a partnered team you literally make money just from being in the league. An organization like global esports is profitable despite being a bottom 2 team in pacific up until this year.

if I was management I would just tank this year and save up for the next offseason to see if better options come up. Most of the bottom feeders are franchised so they have no rush to create competitive rosters.

bottom feeder teams would unironically need to drop the entire roster to become competitive and orgs can't fork out that kind of money esp when existing players are under contract

nzr is not that good and neither is kamyk

depends
a good portion of JP light novels are terrible but most KR novels are solid. CN is a tossup usually

"barely viable" with a whole 26 percent pickrate and more than the most picked initator ever before tejo meta. You might have lost your mind. Tejo is also braindead easy to play compared to fade, you literally have a point and click brim ipad and the easiest to use drone in the game.

widely considered by most people to fill similar scan initator role
also fade had a higher pickrate in bangkok than sova you might be on some crack

yay may have dipped in form now but he never dropped the work ethic, crazyguy just a hater because he didnt see results from yay

Bang=tenz is the most hot trash take of all time he doesn’t have anywhere close to the level of impact

Rigged for ratings
if they were in the other group Sen would 100 percent bomb out in groups

Fracture is worse by far

PRX 7-8th 13-1 vs DFM 💔💔💔

He had a good fade last year in emea
