Wo0t at shanghai was actually a demon but regarding TH performance lately it feels like theyre burnt out and wont shoot like that in champs. Fingers crossed they recover tho

Idk bout yall but i just cannot watch matches anymore without some crazy man running around tapping people left and right making the casters go crazy. I dont think we will see someone like Demon1 anytime soon and its depressing

nice cope gang

Top 2 in Berlin
Top 4 in Champs
Top 3 in Tokyo

Arguably best player on gambit (nats having carried gambit on his own is false narrative)

Also to be the best of all time doesnt mean you have to be the best at any time. Chronicle might or might not have been the best at any time but he has been up there with the greatest for a ridiculous amount of time

One got replaced with a Tier 2 no name

Leo stepped down due to health issues

and the other was only relevant for like 3 months in 2021

Made himself quite relevant recently when he owned you on vlr lil bro

jimmy lin >>>>>>>>>

leo or chronicle who yall got?

penny 💀

y1y

Japanese job opportunities

Why would anyone willingly put themselves into torture 💀

Demon1

You dont need to learn lineups to be decent on sova. Thats why i said intuitive. Learning lineups will unlock his full potential though

sova, works on any map and is intuitive

Japan is like the only country that uses japanese with around 125 million speakers almost all of them being in Japan
Learning mandarin for example lets you communicate to more than a billion people compared to japanese's 125 million

Italian is a similar case but learning italian opens you gates to learn spanish french portuguese and romanian easily aswell, which then adds up to over a billion speakers

Languages like russian are useful for space, latin is useful for medicine and english is useful for everything but for what exactly is japanese useful for?

No disrespect to the japanese but i agree with you, japanese is kinda useless outside of japan and anime

English but idk, his career started in america but im not so sure anymore if he was born in the US

Im not so sure about that, mist russians play in russian i think, most turks play in turkish, in EMEA you could make sense of it but in americas its quite unique that mazino is playing in russian and aspas in japanese

none of the players on lev play the game in their mother tongue

thats just dumb you should use this games as your last opportunity of practice

agüero and messi would CLEAR those bums

Okay wtf the emea trophy is genuinely the most hideous thing my eyes have seen this year

The china and americas trophy look majestic tho

Pacific is ok

nah its all g i just did it poorly

but at this point i almost mentioned every player from vct china lmfao, well its the best of the best in champs

otherwise vo0kashu, GuanG, Swerl, Rb obviously up there aswell

I mean title is chinese players, but yeah i should add him regardless

Yeah theyre pretty known youre right

Yeah i just realized after pressing send

I watch a decent amount of vct china games (including highlights) and i wanna give my mentions for some players to look out for if you arent that familiar with vct china
List will prioritize mechanics

1. EDG Smoggy - Starting off with a obvious one, mans insane can perform on any role and imo the best player in china. If you watched EDG in masters tokyo you would know how stupid this guy can go
2. FPX Life - Already showcased his skills in Madrid and Shanghai but this guy will own once more
3. EDG ZmjjKK - King of China, dont need to add much here tho
4. TE FengF - Mechanically insane player, one of the most underrated ones itw for sure. Super solid raze and kj
5. BLG whzy - The NRG fans here will be familiar with this name, but just to remind you this guy is THE chinese jett so be aware
6. FPX AAAAY - Currently sitting in VCT China with a headshot percentage of 41%, one of the best aimers in the chinese scene

EDIT: Forgot to mention the goat TE Kai! Very consistent player which is also mechanically solid, very exciting player
Also to mention (australian) player autumn. Him and Life usually go huge to take fpx over the winning line. Very important player!

how wo0t wasnt mentioned a singular time in this thread is crazy to me

Lol ive been watching VCT religiously since 2022. I know when he was considered the wonderkid in 2022 and was surpassing every expectation people had. But ive been just wondering what differentiates him from other players and how hes mechanically so consistent, this guy has a ridiculous amount of clips in VCT alone, someone needs to do a stat of it

Alfajer played the best competition we ever had + Demon1, while TenZ played plumbers and janitors

nah enzo really that garbage we be taking eminem over him 😭😭

But he performs way better and more consistent than all the players i mentioned, except maybe t3xture and Demon1 (in 2023)

Mechanically (from clips etc) he isnt much better than players like TenZ, Cryo, Demon1, t3xture, Wo0t

Sure hes insane but not like out of the world insane, but out of the players i mentioned he just manages to win a shitton of 1v1s and also grab lots of multikills alongside the way

Is it just the way he positions himself?

This is how we felt watching you take thevalorant stage by storm last year
Please come back my king 😭💔

Apoth

you mean ethan?

Last year they were supposed to be quite mid
4 players + 1 aimer (DemonWan) but with a lot of good util, strats and cohesion winning it all

This year G2 were supposed to be quite mid
4 players + 1 aimer (🍃) but with a lot of good util, strats and cohesion winning it all

just do wtv you want dawg not worth it to care about ts

mb

ur dog team had to take turns in sucking aspas cock to qualify for champs 🤣🤣🤣

primmie

I didnt watch the match so i cant tell if drx is just decent or prx choke like always but glad to see pacific perform.

The last time they played a Bo5 was in 2023 in the regional play grand final where PRX won 3-2 over DRX

Fun thing is: DRX started with a 2 map lead and then got reverse swept by PRX to end on 3-2
This year: PRX started with a 2 map lead and then got reverse swept by DRX to end on 3-2

Also if you check the scorelines, map 1, map 4 and map 5 of both series are schockingly similar
