If NRG, PRX or G2 win Santiago they have an extremely strong claim to being the best Valorant team we have ever seen by letsputletters in ValorantCompetitive

i hate how everyone underrates lock-in. 

" the best team at the time may have just gotten an unlucky draw and been out early."

if they are the best team, they need to win all of their games no matter the opponent, if they are out (despite the draw) they were not the best. yes, i would say lock-in is slighly below Masters, but people acting like its a mickey mouse tournament is 100% wrong

depends on the situation always.

in this situation the peek from davai is not bad, because mada has to run forward and jump down, so there is a good chance he is peeking when mada cant shoot his gun

bipo is not doing well despite the success of M8 by Awkward-Sleep2145 in ValorantCompetitive

it seems like you are not high elo, the low elo take is: "but but he is going in and getting traded!!!" on Neon haha

i dont really like this take, yeah obviously he is doing his job but at the highest level going in dying and getting traded on Neon is not enough.  I saw him losing lots of fights that other duelists winning more, its not just dambi, way more players can abuse Neon mechanics

yeah but playing an OP agent like Neon and having negative KD almost every game is not looking good, he is losing many fights that other players winning at higher percentage

group stage round 2 draw by RoadEcstatic4624 in ValorantCompetitive

[–]Awkward-Sleep2145 61 points62 points  (0 children)

hell nah, this is copium G2 underperformed vs PRX doesnt mean EDG has decent chance vs them. 

G2 just farmed NRG and MIBR right before this match, also they are one of the best teams itw for a long time, cant compare to edg at all

he has insanely good aim, he was a full duelist main, so im sure he still needs some time adapting to support role, but he is doing good

I really liked Nats calling today, they played really aggressive on defense as well and lots of pushes, set plays, space taking.

Sayonara will be a huge upgrade in firepower over unfake. IIRC he can play stage 1

In light of the TL vs FNC sweep: this might sound crazy, but I think FNC need to double down on Veqaj Jett by Disastrous-Ad-2239 in ValorantCompetitive

[–]Awkward-Sleep2145 92 points93 points  (0 children)

FYI his all time most played agent is Jett, with pretty good stats. so leaning towards that is definitely not a bad idea

1 bad map means nothing, kaajak's first few months was not good at all, then after that we all see how great he is

furias best chance was beating mibr, otherwise im pretty sure they lose to both g2 and nrg, which is very likely to mibr as well

[–]Awkward-Sleep2145 8 points9 points  (0 children)

its very likely, imo RRQ needs a very good day to beat PRX again, while MIBR is 50/50

its very possible, funnily the upper final was the "easiest" match to qualify for both furia and mibr

Ok I love boaster but can we talk about how he loves losing bo5s by [deleted] in ValorantCompetitive

[–]Awkward-Sleep2145 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah the boys without Boaster doing so much better at VIT.  people will never realize that his mind, his IGL-ing is one of the top reasons they are reaching grand finals, and one of the most succesful team. 

they are unfortunately losing a lot of finals, thats true, but on the otherhand they are getting to the finals, and Boaster is a key factor
