You're right. I can't and I won't. OpTic are long gone though, and NRG are nowhere near as good as OpTic were, specifically on Bind

I play Jett when I'm feeling warm, and I want to be flashy. Otherwise, I stick to what my team needs, which is playing smokes every game. I find that playing these two roles and alternating actually is a great way to become better at both. For reference, a lot of top controllers at the pro level started out as duelist players (Pancada, Mako, hell, even boaster as an igl started out as a jett player)

as a NAVI watcher, he's really not. Hell, his yoru might be better than his sage

FPX antistratted the shit out of them, so well that they made them look stupid. But that's just how they played. They trolled vs LEV, which isnt cope because they just played awful, and OpTic were the best Bind team itw last year. I think given the roster changes, the meta shift, and the apparent increase in discipline they could be really good still. Especially since OpTic are gone, FPX look slightly worse as NAVI, LEV bans Bind, and they have Forsaken Yoru in their pocket

The BBL fix is to focus less on Ascent and more on other maps. Their Split and Haven are decent, why not work from there and make those maps good as well? Three good maps, especially with how good their Ascent is, should make them a upper tier team in EMEA

Almost every Turkish duelist is insanely cracked. Qw1 and Quti have gotten the chance to show it in the spotlight, and I'm sure if t2 Turkish scene gets more exposure other names will pop up too

I respect the bit, but NRG are not the best team on Bind. FNS is still a mastermind though, and he shows it when they play

With BBL losing to TL, they just have to lose to FUT and VIT have to win. It's that simple. Whoever loses next week is out, and whoever wins secures playoffs

Aslan can't be the problem when the only map his team can play is Ascent

Who ever said NRG was the best on Bind? NA fans? People who aren't delusional know it's either FNATIC or PRX (yes, trust me. PRX bind is still goated, it will be shown soon)

it goes more like this:

You are playing against BBL.

You do not ban Ascent even though you will probably lose it.

BBL instantly picks Ascent.

You pick a strong map for yourself, and get two bans in that benefit you. You make sure the third map also favors you.

You win, because BBL can only play Ascent at the highest level, and they are nowhere near as prepped or proven on other maps as their Ascent, as it is their gimmick

the queen of england was real?!?!!

even if they don't win ascension, i guarantee you at least one of the players will make it to franchising next year. my guess is either sym or aproto, but tbf all of them could have a case to make a franchise team if they continue this form

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

its not too bad; they prob won't qualify for masters, but they have a chance. cryo was asleep for most of lock in and the start of the league but has woken up now. Asuna is on fire, bang has been super inconsistent. mikes hasn't been coaching well, but there is rumors that there will be management changes soon

tldr: 100t tried playing too loose instead of sticking to their set, protocol-heavy playstyle. (Most) of the roster is in good form; however they just have some key mistakes that they keep making.

Oh, and yeah, as was mentioned, they managed to beat out lev (bang had a crazy clutch to end the game)

they can't. its that simple.

except... if tenz enters iceland mode again (which is not happening, im sorry)

welp looks like we found another dephh alt acc

no, sen exists. hit site frantically with 15 sec left is not a strat

also dont forget prx who dont play with a designated igl

what happened to your stars trembo

zekken doesn't deserve this. sacy and pancada don't either. keep marved, let sacy and pancada return to a better system, keep zekken too. drop the obvious fraud, and pick up the actual talent rotting in tier 2. boom, sentinels no longer tier 10 org

U - Uwuusnorlax

this seems like copypasta material...

im just joking around, fyi. just gotta stop the navi slander, even though that game was actually super entertaining

did you shoot back?

i was bored and couldn't sleep so i watched TGRD vs MXM. TGRD were playing with their coach, and I thought, cool! little did i know that the next two hours would be the most boring two hours of my life. i didn't need to try to go back to bed, i just needed to watch TGRD vs MXM and i fell asleep

usual valorant watcher behavior, the best thing you can do is say absolutely nothing. no more attention needs to be brought to this

''i thank you for owning up''

it was directed at him, but i replied to the entire thread

gen g have been playing like shit lately. but if they somehow win one match, ge don't qual. that's not too much of a reach

these twitter comments are wild 💀 idk what's funnier sick tweeting shit like this or the rats lurking below his posts projecting

no, i don't

what do you expect? each country to have its own team of 5? if that was the case then EMEA would have been a dead region a long time ago

1. they made it when the competition was worse, teams are now figuring out everything and getting their shit together
2. this team was not winless, it was oxg with an assistant coach who has comp experience
3. giants are a fucking franchise team losing to a coach who hasn't played in 2 years (no disrespect to weber, he was playing well despite that)
4. his team is in fact playing like ass lately, and its because they are fucking around with who is igl (steel --> exalt) and this system is not optic, not even c9, its dsg the na challengers team

yw for the explanation, since you wanted it:)

if drx troll, dfm have a SMALL chance of 2-1. if drx decide to take out their anger on dfm, well, they are gonna get fucked.

his twitter handle also just happens to be big bean, its more so of a nickname as well

bzka is not the problem, he coached a world champion team

buzz can entry well on raze, which is why i think they shouldn't have foxy play raze. they got him to have him play jett instead of buzz, so just have him be like aspas and only play jett on every map besides bind

he's a flashy jett player. that's the appeal, because that's the meta rn

also i have to add he entries really well, and can op well, prob better than buzz did for most of the time

little tips coming from immo 2 peak:

ascendant and up you wanna be finding someone to 2 stack with, at the very least. solo q is not good in the upper elos, and you are gambling your rr

now that you are playing with at least semi competent players, i recommend trying to adapt small micro/macro play or strats into your gameplay, as it will give you a clear edge. watching pro vods or games can help with this, but its not needed

finally, basics: game sense, aim, fundamentals, etc etc. also have fun and don't let your mental go to shit, a balance between focused and caring and being relaxed because at the end of the day its just a game

what makes it worse is he gets mad at people for saying shit about brazil, but has no problem calling someone out for being have a Jamaican flag. make up your mind for fucks sake

3-2 champs 2021 finals, close playoff games, insane comebacks, i would say lock // in was nowhere near as competitive as that event, but i will agree reykjavik wasn't competitive because it was the start of the game's competitive lifespan. don't be delusional though, lock // in win does not mean as much, its just that fnatic are better regardless of winning that event, it didn't prove anything outside of beating loud

rare number 1 cned fan L, don't commend shownu's bait threads

bro sgares stream already mentioning this lmaooo hes gotten the attention he wants

i love how you go into twitch chats during fnatic games, and its just a bunch of 12 yo bandwagons who are coping with every single time the other team gets a kill.
someone on fnatic dies: ''lucky shot'' ''vac'' ''lucky''
When fnatic get a kill: ''ez'' ''fnatic best team in the world'' ''haha other team sucks''
obviously that's not all fnatic fans but still

i only put him because of literally -1 performances. its so hard with prx because every player can be good one game and shit the next, it just depends on the day. i dont really like d4v41 in the igl role, so that's mainly why i put him. i could see the argument for mf, besides last series he was awful all split

Pacific:

DRX: Literally no one, this team clears the rest of the region.
Zeta: Prob Crow tbh
T1: Still Ban, Carpe is on fraudwatch once again tho (sorry Carpe user or whatever your name is)
PRX: d4v41
GE: Wronski (yes, ik he's not in playing 5 rn)
GEN: Eko ig? he was good vs drx tho
TS: Dubstep
RRQ: 2ge
DFM: Seoldam
Talon: Patt, because until he's back on duelist, he's on overfraudwatch (i suck at making jokes)

I heard that the real reason G2 didn't make it into franchising is because Carlos punched Riot's PR guy in the face

idk why people don't like china getting 3 slots. Riot wouldn't have the money to support this game's scene and events if not for tencent

you know who else said i think we qual to masters dude? zombs. looked how that turned out
