Lud AND Charlie. Even if Charles isn't as into Valorant anymore, him being in LA and doing a watch party or two would be massive for casual and outside views.

Lud AND Charlie. Even if Charles isn't as into Valorant anymore, him being in LA and doing a watch party or two would be massive for casual and outside views.
Simple as. If he doesnt step up to play flex Initiators and/or flex Duelists in Stage 1, he should just be benched. The other 4 have shown title winning qualities, get real.
The real fix is to actually figure out roles for this year. I love this team and their players but W00t has been playing like the fakest flex player of all time this year. What he was doing last year was good, i don't understand what got into him to just, stop.
Neil and Boo are trying to accommodate their comps and strats for him but theyre not working. They need to either fundamentally go back to what they were doing last year or straight up boot him.
Personally, I think its a rare case of the IGL doing more than the coach. Before and After Optic, Chet didnt have amazing results.
A lot of times when watching Optic and later NRG (esp), it felt like rounds where they won it was cause of FNS' extremely good calls. How much Chet helps to make those calls happen I think we'll never know, but it's clear to me FNS was always the main mastermind in any team he's in.
Is Chet a bad coach? Probably not. But he never seemed Mini or Potter level.
He and runner looked like the weaker links last year. But god Kicks is looking like a top 15 to 10 player right now, he's stepped up mechanically and brain wise.
He said he was gonna be at a wedding today a week or so ago
Less and dgzin (right now) are prob the biggest exceptions atm
Agree, Tenz adapted to the game and role and still managed to play to his own unique strengths.
Nah Cortezia for example has a way lower sens than Yay rn and the way he plays, he absolutely gets down in the mud. Down and dirty. That one flick onto nature in the pit? Neither D1 or Yay are capable of that, never seen them do that.
To be fair i didnt know he increased it before someone mentioned it. I still stand by that the way he plays and even aims is outdated for this games current standards.
That's kind of what im saying, yes. I'm just trying to explain my theory on what exactly makes them suck, from my personal eye test.
Well it goes back to #6, most of these players have actually put in the work to play to their strengths while also adapting to the game. D1 and ESPECIALLY Yay feel like theyre stuck in the same year. It feels like the way they play is such a relic of their time.
Did you see "low sens" and just ignore the rest of the post or is reading comprehension this dead
Yeah but he has a more versatile playstyle, he's clearly mastered his sens and mouse control to fit his role. The others are too passive for todays standards
Dgzin currently looks like an exception. I dont know what Persia's settings are though so i cant even completely judge rn
These players known for their low sens and "calm aim" have become outdated post 2023.
You gotta be able to be a bit hectic and hit more precise flicks to play this game at a high level.
i think you should step on multiple legos
They need more time but johnqt is gettin up there
Saadhak, FNS and Boaster will always be Top 3 untill further notice. Have done so much, won at least one trophy, and have stood the test of time.
#4 Has to be Boostio just because not only was the upward trajectory of 2023 EG so impressive, but because he's proven it afterwards that he's still very solid regardless of players. He's gonna at min qualify for an international again this year.
#5 Could legit be anyone. Could be Ange1 or Stax cause of longevity. Could be Valyn just from the eye test and consistent regional performance. Could be Boo if he has a great year again.
Its basically whatsapp, but whatsapp feels way more tame in comparison
hey man get out of the corner of the party and come grab some snacks and soda, its all gonna be ok
you can rank these in the context of the Valorant community or just general use.
Todo va estar bien bro, go next
As much as I wanna agree with you, if there's gonna be winners, there has to be losers. I'm not sure if we can just boil it down to just kicking out orgs that build mid rosters.
That being said, KOI should unironically consider being kicked regardless, the org has been mismanaged and moved around like a sex worker from south east asia when it comes to mergers.
He should throw away his mouse. It's caused him more trouble than any other piece of gear in the past 2 years of franchising 💀
i will agree with you on this one
Not yet. Has the potential though
Dont care + what i said to you is more useful than anything youve typed on this site.
Feel free to post the proof so people can Maybe side with you. Post the proof on imgur and link it. Its free. Go on!
She's a good player. Dont need to have any other reason or agenda to see that and support her. (trans people are still awesome though)
people in general are like that. Unlucky really.
how though? specifically for this situation, get rid of the non-platonic stigma society has over "sliding in the DMs" especially on Instagram. Just be nice and ask her to play.
did they not place top 5 multiple times in the last 2 years and literally won Champions? What's the standard here? More grand finals?
