i bet ardiis could tell you but he’s gotta remember his name first

well yeah obviously that’s expected because the teams / matches were good but the hype building up to the event seems lackluster compared to past events

like for example the champs 22 trailer is still one of the hardest things valorant has ever put out

went 4-5 in head to head against aspas and that was mainly off of aim duels

the mf can still click heads, he would be so much better on a champion that isn’t made for straight diving into site

i am sure zander will step it up soon which is why i said we gotta wait for how they perform next split

obviously i think its too early to tell since 100t still has some potential but im just basing my observations off of the few games they played so far and the overall problems i think the roster have

it feels like it’s gotten progressively worse over the years tbh

my bad man i’m sorry for upsetting the bcf superfans, just calling out obvious bait when i see it

like i said bcf lost to apeks and look what happened to them in tier 1

success in tier 2 doesn’t always translate to tier 1, especially when their run isn’t reallly that dominant

ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh maybe

they have the firepower for sure but i gotta see them have better competition than fucking eternal fire

idk if they’re old enough to ascend yet though

carpe is better than sylvan they should keep him on the starting roster

you used to have good baits, unfortunate falloff

reminder this roster lost to hype and avova

crash out

it sucks because he wasn't even that bad in kickoff, maybe it really was the ego

he’s made AN improvement, i wouldn’t call it a great one

he would thrive so much if he wasn’t forced to be a hard entry, just have him bait on smokes/senti and he will drop 30 every map it’s really that simple

:DEAL:

i don’t see lev making it to a single event if they keep demon1 on satchel girl

depends on how they perform tbh

i don’t think the project with boostio is working & zander isn’t living up to his potential. team still looks heavily reliant on firepower over everything (eeiu/cryo) as well as asuna being asuna

it’s an entertaining roster but they try to be entertaining while also trying to play structured; it clearly isn’t working

c0m can stay
in fact nothing is wrong with the lev roster as a whole, it’s the roles that are fucked

demon1 (smokes)
tex (senti)
natank (duelist)
c0m (scan init)
kingg (flash init/flex)

OR

demon1 (senti)
tex (duelist)
natank (flash init/flex)
c0m (scan init)
kingg (smokes)

either of these make lev 5x better instantly

coke has the better original, pepsi has the better variants

“no ego”

hmmmmm

in some cases this is correct

in this case g2 genuinely looks like one of if not the best in the world

love my goat brawk but is this really the move

just crazy how verno might me replaced after one vct event

xuss > mouz

m8 -zyppan +natank and they make toronto

tf are these roles why is vania on duelist and mimi on smokes

how is this guy farming all of tier 2

if nrg drop one of the most promising tier 2 players in na for a nepotism pick then i think i will simply give up

s0m is good

HE HAD!!! TWO BAD GAMES!!! BROOOOOOOOOO

…………

:3

if there is any team that can look weak but still make a run, it’s sentinels

mada and s0m are not bottom 15

at first i disliked the team because they looked bad and actually looked like they were crypto throwing live

now i dislike them because they’re from liquid, if they were from any other org i wouldn’t mind them

smash melee = mang0

valyn’s reply is crazy bro he’s actually the goat

there are always gonna be a lot of events in cs, but imo these are the ones that hold the most prestige and if you wanna begin watching cs esports, these are good starting points

any major
iem katowice & cologne
blast spring / fall / world final
esl pro league

some other fun ones that are not as important but worth watching are things like yalla compass, betboom dacha, iem events outside of kato + cologne, etc

majors hold the most importance here, the next one is in austin, texas, usa with blast as the organizer

the best sentinel of all time has returned to his throne

“exposed” brother they should’ve lost 4 series ago but somehow they took vitality to 5, this is nowhere near exposed

they should’ve kept spinx over mezii imo, that team would’ve been unstoppable

donk had one bad series and look what happened to spirit

the mfer is 18 years of age, he cannot carry the weight of 4 players that consistently. the fact he’s been able to do this more than once is already an outlier

i think every team sent their best two teams and they’ll all be seeing all the lans

only one i’m not sold on is liquid yet, i still feel as though this was a linsanity run through a lower bracket and may still end up not doing much throughout the year, but they d surprised me nonetheless

he gets mad whenever someone shit talks emea, so rage baiting is his subconscious response

its gg, ropz is no longer held back by broky and karrigan

he is better than sylvan

cortezia over xenom for best rookie

derke: said to have been past his prime after an underwhelming 2024 from fnatic, comes into the year as though he never left and now looks to prove himself on the main stage as the undisputed best duelist in the world with a good team around him

less: world champion, the patient demon, the pride of brazil, after going silent in 2024, has escaped the clutches of loud and found new opportunities in emea, now seeks to reclaim his place as the best sentinel in the world with a band of equally talented individuals

kicks: once thought to be a player who was the weak link of a potentially strong vitality core in 2024 hast now found his stride and, as the favorites for the event, will now face his first big test with all eyes on him

trexx: constantly overshadowed by others before him, he was placed on koi to be forgotten by the rest of his region. now reunited with ex-guild teammate sayf he has broken out from the prison of the bottom-barrel teams and now seeks to let the world know he is not to be forgotten

sayf: transitioned from being a star duelist to a support igl and was doubted for his supposed lack of leadership and his inability to take a team to the finish line, he will now face his first test as the captain up against the best teams in the world to prove his system is legitimate and one to be reckoned with

g2 handed the grand finals of shanghai for free to heretics btw, 3-0

if by old kc you mean kc 23 then there was definitely a massive gap between them and other teams

koi and apeks > heretics, lock it in
