bring in an initiator who can flex and frag, potentially hazed but then you’d have 3 smokes playwrs

i love tenz as a person and don’t think he deserves the hate he’s been getting, but i think switching marved with him would benefit the team drastically. Sacy back on main initiator, marved taking main controller, pancada on sentinel, zekken majn duelist, and dephhh flex would be rly good. main takeaways from this series is that zekken is incredible dephhh can turn up but is too inconsistent, the brazilians are their win con, and tenz is too based off of momentum

they smoked NRG so what does that mean? NRG is worse than SEN?

he is the sole reason SEN are doing so well. he’s too dragged every series since lock-in

Okay listen I love most of Pearl but they NEEEED to change B site, it’s actually the worst site in this fucking game why did they think this would work. Actual retake/molly simulator.

if they actually win this match these mfs are going to get HELL from everyone. truly a lose/lose for them. If they lose to MIBR they’re called ass. If they win they get claimed for match fixing and have all of brazil on their ass. unfortunate moment.

if it was any other person on nrg i’d be like happens but keith… not loving this

yeah no ik he’s getting that back on TL rn, would be dope to see him compete again bur also glad he’s finding success there too. they need to find someone like him to rly glue the team together cuz it’s feeling too uncoordinated and spliced

this guy was a solid smokes player (could play omen) and awper alongside a really strong jett. he was also a secondary caller and was a large part of 100T’s massive success in Berlin. If he wasn’t back in CS i think he would make a great reintroduction to the team

I also think Cryo with time can return to his XSET form, just not sure if it’s going to be in time for playoffs or this split

nitro is succeeding 100% in CS (at least i think not super attentive to the scene) but if he were still here unironically i think they’d be a top team, he played all the roles Cryo does now and could AWP.

that’s a funny way to spell sgares

Their masters berlin run was insane, they didn’t play well now but you can’t discredit what this team accomplished in the past. I think there’s still potential for the team there just has to be reworks (especially regarding cryo).

i— they’re men, so they’d compete in the men’s league. trans men are men and trans women are women how hard is this to understand bruh. marginalized genders includes people who don’t conform to the gender binary or exist in different facets of it than man or woman.

i can’t think of any rly strong sentinel players left as free agents to replace xxif, maybe hazed but igl conflicts with steel would become a massive issue. So either they’re keeping riku or bringing in someone like BabyJ

the shao show returns, +31 is nuts

honestly could be, 4th place curse incoming

you’ve gotta have a degradation kink with how much shits thrown at you all the time, not a single good take lmao. If it weren’t for shahzam you guys would’ve finished 4th

all this just to lose to M80

reduxx needs to turn 16 faster bro

he did the good ol self suck to counteract the enemy’s pull and get it to half but got sprayed down anyways

i just hope they put rhyme back on controller in the Tier 2 tourney they debuted at Rhyme went nuclear on astra (think he was like +32 or something in a series vs parla)

I think Verno has to be put into the same level as him at this rate, this kids insane and reminding me of Prime Trent (not that he’s playing bad right now he’s still cracked)

Today has been such a great day to showcase the power of these evolving teams (OXG/MXM). Yeah M80 kinda looked shaky map 1, but they were legitimately challenged by mxm. Same with OXG (although guard looked significantly shakier), but it def means these teams are a lot closer than previously thought.

potentially could’ve gotten signed to BBL or FUT, would be a good addition to either team

sadly it isn’t, H2H doesn’t matter only RND.

+33 is crazy bro wtf almost 50 kills in half the rounds

i just hope it’s a good series

nah ur right honestly it’s just the first major crowd tourney in VAL (at least in energy) so probs wasn’t prepared for it, good game and area regardless!

yeah nah ur probs right ngl, haven’t been witness to many events like this so i wouldn’t know

i mean honestly i don’t care about it in general thaf just felt kinda BM. they’re already dead yk? trust me the cheering and stuff during the match is banger just felt kinda bm to do that to a watch party across the world lmao

Ain’t no way they booed the other teams small watch party when they won one, disheartening the lack of sportsmanship.

i think they’re saying if loud win (meaning Americas get 4) that Furia/100T would be that, and if they don’t that isn’t even an option

unironically one of my fav teams to watch, for being the #2 EMEA and TS being originally predicted in the latter half of the APAC League they’re doing so much better.

I think with time this roster could show merit, but it isn’t there right now. Role change could make things better tho.
imo the main issue is a lack of a really strong controller (aside from Ayrin who is probs sentinel main). Monyet was cracked as a duelist (more than t3xture). Wronski on Flex/initiator would work well, and ofc the two that stayed strong (bazzi and ayrin) stay the same. SKRossi needs more experience with t1 opponents to hone his skills, but i’m not sure what else. imo change t3x to 6th instead of monyet and i think there could be better results.

they got tehbotol who was the one to drop 38 on OpTiC in champs as well as lmemore who’s a cracked indo player, don’t know about the rest tho lmao. FUT is just kinda not great, Parla would be great

as well as i feel SCARZ and CR could make a case for themselves, same with Bleed. I haven’t watched many D-Plus games recently but they seem to be performing well recently so maybe even them. Apeks could def compete at the highest level as well. NA val seems the most split from franchise to t2 aside from TGRD and M80

I think DATH, PRL, S2G, SUP, honestly a large amount of the turkish league can bear BBL and FUT

it’s literally a LAN

bang 1v5 on breeze

it’s not confirmed but tex is likely their 5th

i just wanna see trent still on a franchised team he’s so talented and still can be better i feel.

it’s their second for the most part they were at champs last year

i totally understand this, but I think that’s why Riot is recycling all the franchising teams every 4 years to avoid things like that. also im presuming similarly to LCS and the like there will be major amounts of scouting for talents to join the larger orgs (think of how many changes TSM made this split) so the player base will always be relatively fresh. Also making it so we are getting +3 teams a year till 2027 makes it even better in this scenario and I think it’ll make the overall scene so so much better after the first year or so

i love it when players who got benched from a team end up against them and win. 9z look really good rn i haven’t watched much LATAM but this team seems strong with bnj.

I’ve been watching their VRL stuff for a really long time and i gotta say, i think they’re probably the most t1 tier 2 team in the region. they started off what 0-3 in groups in france then ended 12-4, then 3-0d mad lions who had lost only once before. and now in the finals they’ve proved they can comeback from pretty much anything. I really want to see them up against tier 1 teams next split because i think they could become a contender with enoufh practice

i think he’s talking about when Guild brought back in draken for last years LCQ, and now they’re doing the same with Yacine

With all the teams dipping out of valorant, i really hope they do a similar thing to LCS wherein they franchised teams also have academy teams and stuff like that so the talent in the region isn’t completely fucked besides like 30 ppl. proving grounds would also be huge, cuz otherwise valorants like tier 2 scene is sooo fucked.

praying heroic buyout guild bid they’re not even there

i’d presume at this rate Heroic or Rogue buy out the team, same goes for the core of M3C. I think it could be something like Heroic buying guilds team and Rogue M3C, but it’s still shocking guild isn’t here, a org owned by david goddamn beckham didn’t get franchising sounds insane
