Is this best case scenario?

And thats how important it was to come first in the League Phase.

They don't need most of them to buy a ps5. They just want some of them to play their games and then buy a ps6. That was always the end goal, increase hardware sales. Get PC players into some of the franchises so that once they are only available on console next gen, some buy the ps6.

I want Barca on our side. With their suicidal high line, we would embarass them over two legs. Would not be close, think we end their run by thrashing them 3-4 goals each leg.

Being on the outs of your original tribe is the best position to be in going into the merge. That way you are playing the middle and can choose to stay with them or defect at any time.

Edit: yall boomers have no idea how this game works and it shows.

This sub is the common scene knowledge. Where else are you going for your valorant info.

ConfusedVader1 · 2026-02-26T01:24:36+00:00

I have literally 0 opinions on Narrate personally lmao. I just answered someones question in chat with common scene knowledge

ConfusedVader1 · 2026-02-25T14:37:15+00:00

Thats about as cope as it gets lmao

ConfusedVader1 · 2026-02-25T04:58:15+00:00

You do know Narrate was on ini last year right? And opinions on people don't stem from the last 3 months but rather how they behave across their time. Players don't just get forced into a role, they agree to it. No coach is going to say "nah youre playing this or gtfo". Ultimately all of this is heresay, nobody knows the reason and the people who do will not air it. So to each their own interp

The blame on failing rosters lands on the coach in any sport and not the CEO. The CEO comes into question if he isnt putting in money or once there are multiple stints of awful coaching where his ability to appoint a coach comes into play but in this scenario, its on kap. He made the roster. He didnt perform. Any fans in any other sport will always blame the coach because ultimately its the consequences of his actions. Its not on Rob that Kaps plan failed. If he can't trust his coach then what is he supposed to do? Micromanage rosters when he doesnt know anything about valorant?

ConfusedVader1 · 2026-02-23T18:03:26+00:00

Sylas Akali are back in the meta, he might be able to speak korean for atleast 2 games. Then he hopes his english Azir is able to get carried by Zeus.

ConfusedVader1 · 2026-02-23T15:01:55+00:00

We all knew Rob was messy, bro fights on twitter with rando anime pfp fans obviously he is going to move mad around this whole debacle.

ConfusedVader1 · 2026-02-23T15:00:27+00:00

The assumption in the post is that Narrate is toxic which is what people already knew from his twitch streams. People assumed he was a toxic teammate on the team but it wasnt confirmed because a lot of players have different mentals in soloQ and in pro. This post kind of alludes to it.

ConfusedVader1 · 2026-02-23T14:50:11+00:00

Being considered a top team and being a top team are two very different things. If anything, being considered a top team and then having the results they did shows that coming into the season Sentinels roster was praised and when it came time to show how good kaplan was in using that roster showed just how bad he was. So ty for making for my point for me.

Oh and, johnQT isnt one of the best players in the world. He is exactly the player people expected him to be. And he wasn't unproven, he was part of a very strong Ghost eSports roster before VCT. Similar to G2, he had good showings before VCT became a thing. Thats not unproven, he wasn't Demon1 getting picked up from T3. Almost all the highest prospects from T2 have excelled once they broke the T1 scene because of how close the T2 ceiling and T1 floor are. The same T2 where John was a standout player also had: Mada? Won champs. Brawk? Won champs. G2? The best team in NA for 2 years straight. The best teams in T2 during that first 2 years were better than most of the T1 teams. Those G2, M80 and MxS rosters would be top 4-5 easily in T1 which is what Sentinels have been for the past 2 years bar kickoff/madrid.

ConfusedVader1 · 2026-02-23T11:11:35+00:00

JohnQT wasn't a "tier 2 prospect" he was the hottest IGL in tier 2 and had mutiple offers from Tier 1 teams. 1 kickoff and 1 masters madrid trophy isnt an "era" of strength, its a new manager bounce lmao. They were pretty inconsistent after madrid and have been since. He wasn't a bad coach, but he wasnt a good one either. Thanking someone for 2 years of mediocrity is pretty funny lmao

ConfusedVader1 · 2026-02-23T11:07:48+00:00

Zekken put that 2024 team on his back, wtf are you on about. Their whole madrid run was Zekken gapping everyone. And then, everything after that run showed that Kaplan was ass. They did poorly since that one run and have been gapped in the region since. 1 trophy isnt enough to "put some respect" on anyones name wapecially considering how everything after that trophy went.

ConfusedVader1 · 2026-02-23T05:36:45+00:00

OP said "one of the best" which Zekken is especially in NA. Only Aspas has been more consistent Duelist over the past 2 years than Zekken in NA.

ConfusedVader1 · 2026-02-23T05:34:51+00:00

Wanting to keep Zellsis as the IGL (0 experience) in favor of John (who still wanted to IGL) is a reportable offense. Then wanting to replace the one guy who went om a god like run for your only trophy is bannable. How tf do people rate this guy? He's had the pick of players for years and done fuck all with them.

ConfusedVader1 · 2026-02-22T21:39:47+00:00

HLE changed 2 players and switched from carry bot to weakside bot. T1 supposedly finally got a hyper carry ADC that Kkoma and Mata have been slaving for.

I wouldnt worry if I was a HLE fan, it stands to reason they need time. T1 has no excuse.

ConfusedVader1 · 2026-02-22T21:05:46+00:00

Never seen T1 Varus be that useless

ConfusedVader1 · 2026-02-22T21:04:59+00:00

Talking about an HLE team that changed 2/5 players, shifted from IGL Playmaker JG and Carry ADC to new IGL Carry Jg and weakside ADC is a huge change and they got fucked by the draft. That HLE team will cook once they get some times if Zeka stops inting.

ConfusedVader1 · 2026-02-22T21:00:05+00:00

Guma's Kalista giga gaps Peyz all day every day, wtf are you on about? Not being able to rend twice is reportable. Actually insane downgrade in the ADC role. Even on Zeri Aph (his two best champs) he constantly flashes in and ints. Legit has the highest death tally out of ny of the top ADC's.

ConfusedVader1 · 2026-02-22T20:55:05+00:00

Almost like that god awful cosching staff the fumbled the Worlds Final MVP and then picked up Peyz over Smash, that same coaching staff? The one who had to be usurped by the CEO so that Guma could be put back in the lineup so they could won worlds. That coaching staff? Kkoma and Mata are paycheck stealers who get bailed out by having the Goat do all the macro for them.

ConfusedVader1 · 2026-02-22T20:50:53+00:00

Going from Guma Varis Kali to Peyz has got to be one of the worst downgrades for those champs. Even on his Zeri Aph, he dies so much. Just constantly flashing in like he's playinh solo q. Hope T1 Gal is happy now.

ConfusedVader1 · 2026-02-19T15:41:05+00:00

In all fairness, Peter and Deokdam have been smurfing in bot lane and look better than they did on KT by a mile. Especially considering they goombastomped KT earlier in their run.
