WE OUT HERE

I'd argue V1 has equal teamwork, but also in this specific round of C9 vs Guard it WAS a big aim diff. Guard had some great tactics as always but really just won out in every duel.

Man's just asking for a very deserved ban

Anyone who says soy or cuck does not deserve thought.

Agreed but I think V1 or C9 is better than SMB or BBL LOL

What on earth are these suggestions

Yeah but V1 or Optic are prolly gonna get one of em

Nah xeta won't diff trent, but leaf and xeppa + vanity strats are sure to carry here. As a big guard fan, I think they still need more time before they're quite C9's level.

They were one sided becuase one team was doing something INSANELY well, not beacuse their opponents were just fumbling. That makes a really good game. Plus we got a yay pop off third map.

Work on their teamwork and set plays really. They need more rehearsed ways of playing of each other, which only comes with practice.

I think Optic vs V1 was the best lol. Maybe Guard vs C9 will be equally as good

V1 for SURE, Guard probably

Exactly my list lol. Except I put V1 in front of Guard

C9
Optic
V1
Guard
Sen
XSet

I can't believe XSet is better than guard tho. They've lost to them twice in a row.

Trenttttttt

I'll believe it when I see it

I genuinely think if OpTic were in their Ascent map against V1 form for an entire series, they could crush any team (gambit, liquid, and ascend included).

I thought you were saying to ban jett diffs for a sec lmao

Wouldn't say era but C9 are looking goooood rn. Optic have apparently been smashing in scrims tho

Good take. I'd say Yay is also up there with a decent performance at all events and an INSANE peak at masters berlin. He was able to hard carry NV to the finals just by getting a 3k every other round.

Yup and I'm one of them. Saw them beat t1 in that pre-VCT match and was a fan ever since. Trent, Saya, and Valyn are just so good and are improving so fast. I don't think they're as good as Gambit or C9 yet, but I think they definitely could be before the year is up.

Great stuff love it

He always was bad at first but then went insane near the end. Still not that consistent though.

Cryo hasn't proved himself internationally yet. Heat DEFINITELY has, that guy's crazy

Kinda facts

And by lord I mean Trent

Doing the lord's work

I think Optic showed a bunch of issues in this series against Sen just like FNS said, so V1 win unless they get experienced diffed. Plus, in the head to head comparison, even though Penny isn't quite Yay level, Zander's a LOT better than FNS mechanically.

Pretty good list ngl

I would say Optic is looking better than the Guard rn (especially factoring scrim bucks where they crushed C9 and the Guard), but I think the Guard has a higher skill ceiling long term. They're all really young players and have improved drastically since the open qual.

This is a pretty good list actually

Lol the guard and sen over C9. I love both teams but they're NOT there yet this year.

"we men are genetically made to be stronger" applies to Valorant, does it? I didn't know humans were gendered specifically based on how good they'll be at video games. I guess you learn something stupid and sexist every day!

Which baiting acc's alt is this

Oooo yes. Man's cracked. Idk how old he is tho, but he's definitely getting more known now.

He just does a bunch of twitchy random movement to get cool clips. Wouldn't perform nearly as good as any of the people listed above in pro play

I forget how young Asuna is; he's been in tier 1 for so long (comparatively). But you're right, definitely deserves to be on this list.

People who come to my mind first are Cryo, Zander, Trent, and Valyn. Who am I missing?

Read through the responses lmfao

100T just ruined whatever reputation they had. Absolutely fucked

So you're saying drop ethan??

WHY DID THEY LET ICEBOX AND FRACTURE THROUGH THIS IS FNATIC

V1 will win

C9 def best, then V1 + XSet same tier, Guard below them. Tbh I have no clue who would win Sen vs Guard. Guard is a LOT more structured and has far better teamwork, but the individual skill factor is a bit less than Sen, plus they're a lot newer so nerves are more likely to be an issue.

Honestly probably not going to be the best match in this group, although it should be a banger. Rise and V1 are fucking killing it, they have a real chance of beating Sen + Optic (Rise already beat Optic).

I'd agree with NA + EMEA, dk enough abt the others

Yay

Scream on Jett is as bad as Tenz on Raze
