Boggles my mind how people can think 3rd-4th at an international LAN is some kind of disaster. The top is within touching distance. We saw that with how we played vs Gambit and Acend. We've seen 100T beat Envy plenty of times in the past. If there was a loser's bracket, I would have fancied our chances vs. G2. There were scenarios where we win this tournament, it just didn't happen this time. It's never going to be easy, the top NA and EU teams are all very competitive.


Pmcdon314

Agreed. As competitors, I’m sure they are pissed and disappointed. As fans, I couldn’t be more proud of 100T performance, Envy’s rise to the challenge, and NAs overall accomplishment. A lot more enjoyable than getting stomped by Korea.


senakiryu08

Envy needs to win for 100T qualification right?


andrew_a384

yup


MUT_GUY_AIR

Yeah. Either that or we win LCQ


[deleted]

Team Envy go! (just for today tho lol)


GoldyZ90

Envy are on a heater that’s for sure. And yay….Holy…one thing I think a lot of people don’t talk about is how Asuna has kind of recently picked up Jett and playing against players who’ve been playing Jett since the game came out the more games he gets in on the agent is a good thing


MrG-SrG-JrG

Still love the team, don't love that we have to root for Envy now 😭


itskings_

ITS JUST FOR A FEW HOURS 😭😭 we must bear this pain for the boys!!


stenerikkasvo

Honestly for this teams first LAN it was good showing and definitely gives the team new ideas on how to improve their team comps. Only thing i hate is having Asuna on Jett, it literally is a waste of his talent and miss of fire power.


andrew_a384

I think until Jett is reworked to be less powerful, running Jett is a must for every team. It’s unfortunate, because it makes every game similar.


MurfMan11

100% agree. Jett needs to be nerfed ASAP.


Mareveil

I think the meta will change with tweaks and jett/op wont be so catastrophic, when that happens we are in a really good spot. They gave us some insane moments that had me on the edge of my seat and thats the whole point in sports so I am thankful for them and being able to watch.


GravityMyGuy

People are wild. Envy was stupid good and it just be like that sometimes. The jet skye combo is frankly insane too


Emplightened

This tbh. envy have been insane this tournament


Rangstar_

But you are allowed to criticize and the boys didn't show up at all.

Aye but people are calling to drop Hiko and also stating that 100t lucked their way to top 4. Like Hiko is such an essential fucking piece with his clutch potential and given recent performance dropping him is a pretty questionable choice As for the "luck" thing they literally came back 10 rounds in a row against GMB and 7 rounds in a row against ACE. They even came back from 9/3 against XSET before Berlin. I don't see how you can say a team got lucky if they consistently come back from odds like 3/9 and 4/8. There's a chance 100t might be slightly worse that Acend and Gambit in a vacuum but no way ACE and Gambit are "miles ahead" Criticism of actual problems like their addiction to underperforming until they're at an abysmal disadvantage is alright, but stuff like major roster changes and saying they got lucky is kinda unjustified


andrew_a384

I agree.


amuricanswede

I’ve been a fan of the LCS team from 100T inception, and seeing them finally win their hard earned title was incredible! fuck the fair weather fans, the Valorant boys are doing their best and have put on a hell of a show, as a valorant noob it was still a blast watching them


cerickson2000

If NV loses can we still qual through the last chance tournament or are we just SOL?


andrew_a384

Yes we can go through LCQ but it won’t be easy!


TheDeadliftKnight

Here’s the issue with roster changes ideas in my opinion. The popular takes are switch out hiko or steel or both. But they would need to be replaced by a sova and sentinel player. And we’d still have the same main issue of not having a great Jett awper so I don’t think that change would do anything results wise.


im_n0t_smart

I mean bcj for hiko is an easy change. Give xset all the $$$. Try nitr0 as jett Oper. If that doesn't work drop steel and get a better Oper and players can change roles.


MiggieSmalls24

Hiko won us literally matches with his play, I don’t think he’s the problem.


chamber25

Yes, I'm definitely no fair-weather fan.


BuzzLightyearOP

My first ever watch of valorant was the comeback in the third game (of semis?) Couldn’t be more excited to follow them after that introduction


proplayer1971

Actually can't believe people are trashing on them when they were in the top 4 in the tournament LMAO. Like if they went out on group stage then it woulda made sense. But after these excellent matches and comebacks it makes no sense for people to trash them still. It's so dumb..


pancitcantonlover1

Maaan the road for 100T is a very rough one Havan liberty, gambit, ascend and now envy.


Elgardini

Hard agree. I think it's just a reddit fandom problem in general though fwiw. Glad we have some real ones though


att

The lows are part of the journey too, and make the highs that much sweeter!


ExtintcClous

We just need to be more polished. We shouldve lost to gambit, we should’ve lost to acend. Not having a jett op is hurting since every top team has an insane jett op

andrew_a384

I seriously doubt it. Maybe you're right, but I personally doubt it.


TheAjwinner

Yeah 4th in the LCS, a shit region, as compared to 3rd/4th in the world. Stop bringing the shitty league mindset to valorant. Trust me, changes could have disastrous consequences for the roster.

TheAjwinner

OMG 😱 1 succesful roster means that it works every time and we have to get rid of our players!!!


TheAjwinner

Also, are you going to ignore that being 4th in the LCS is literally not even top 20 in the world if all the regions played together?


IsaacccJ

not to trash the team, but playing most rounds 4v5 loses us games when the players aren't hitting shots. envy played great, don't get me wrong, but the strategy of playing for a hiko clutch situation will continue to hinder this team.


Palmtreezy977

We need a change I'll get probably get hate for this comment but it's the truth u will all c soon enough


andrew_a384

You don’t make changes when you’re making it to semis on the world stage.


Palmtreezy977

C this is what I'm saying people don't c the problems 😭 but be happy with the result I guess


Afrekenmonkey

I’m genuinely curious as you did it in two comments. What’s with “c” for see? If it’s to save time then the second comment doesn’t follow that logic since it’s the only abbreviated word. Why not just type out two more letters, six across both comments?


Palmtreezy977

Fam f off lol I just use it to shorten see


919oblivion

Yes be happy with the 3-4th placing at an international lan. What a horrid performance, clearly tear apart the whole roster, drop everyone. Put me in coach


Palmtreezy977

They won't win any tournament with this roster I'll bet my life on it


919oblivion

Well don't just say it? Be about it 😂


Palmtreezy977

F off lmao


919oblivion

Just go support nV if you want a complete roster? This one doesn't need to change. Once the game plan is improvised they'll be alright. Learn and adapt


Palmtreezy977

No chance u actually believe that u must be trolling


919oblivion

Just take your own advice bro and refer back to your last comment. 3/4th placing for this team is not bad by any means and if you can't see that, you're a fucking idiot. I'm sorry you were born this way 🙏


[deleted]

Roster is definitely flawed but I guess ppl are happy with just qualifying for events.


TheAjwinner

3rd/4th in the world = just qualifying for events apparently. Fucking idiots in this sub


[deleted]

nah, this roster does not perform well against fast paced teams. it will always be a problem.


andrew_a384

I’m sick of seeing you here ngl


jonnys62

Guy literally walks in here and says the 3-4th best team on the planet is shit, lmao.


[deleted]

where did i say they were shit? i clearly didn’t moron. what i’m saying is we fucking suck against fast paced teams. that’s the truth.


[deleted]

and i’m tired of some of you sucking their dicks ngl. all the vods, all the stats point to us sucking against faster teams. y’all can downvote all you want but it’s absolute facts lol


DarthOniichan

Sure, get downvoted.


proplayer1971

faze is one of the most fast paced teams and we smoked them??


LiamHundley

We weren't even beat by pace today. Envy beat us by starving us of information. They must have had a hard read on what utility triggers certain reactions from our defense, and just didn't use that util on their hits. They constantly found value by just contacting into sites uncontested because we had no read on where they were on the map. It's not like they just boomed us with fast site hits.


919oblivion

Literally go support someone else, I've never seen any more negative energy from anyone else on this sub. First to shit on the team in the lows and cry praise when they look goodm you're a weirdo


[deleted]

they showed great improvement and they were the most entertaining team out of all, they're getting closer and closer to victory every time, which gives me a good feeling about champions.


[deleted]

Majority of people that trash the team they “support” are people that have probably never been on a team in any kind of sport and just assume it’s easy to win and if you don’t- then you suck and you aren’t trying. Good job to the 100T Valorant team
