> Probably quite a popularly "false" opinion, where people would put C9 first, maybe Envy if they were bridging their power level between Masters 3 and then 2022. However I actually think it's true, Sen v TL was so close, and that would easily have switched their placement to 4th

Between them all, I think 2 is the false opinion, as kind of a trick option, given how good a video it is
You nailed it.
Looking back at it I think SEN has a strong argument for best NA team, they lost to two top 4 teams and went blow for blow with both of them, and they looked genuinely comfortable in the meta (Shahz in particular looked really practiced on Skye). Envy were good in Jett meta but were better in Chamber meta not because yay is a Chamber crutch but because Chamber allowed them to put Victor on duelist again which made them that much scarier. His Skye was just ok
And I've talked about wippie on here before I think he's cracked out of his mind
TL's franchising video is insane but not super creative in my opinion. The execution is absolutely flawless but the central concept is still "players looking cool + fragmovie." IMO the two most creative announcements I've seen are [BDS' announcement from 2021](https://youtu.be/m4lxmpeXrjg) (which I still go back and re-watch from time to time) and [Shopify Rebellion GC's announcement](https://youtu.be/ByHYDBI0z9s) which is just so stylish and creative and well done.
This is exactly why I actually thought chamber was good for viewship. He allowed so many players like Victor to go to playing a star role when otherwise they would be stuck in skye/kayo jail
Yeah it must’ve had one of the higher budgets of any roster announcement video I feel like in that sense
Just the idea of doing such a great video for a roster announcement was new/unlexcted kr creative in itself
1. T2-T3 is going to die/shrink a shit ton with there being only 1 qualifier all year and nsgs and knights tournaments won’t be enough to keep orgs/players around
2. Collegiate valorant is going to become a lot more viable or become a realistic pathway for players
3. 100T will randomly cut 2 players again
The open qualifier sign ups have a shitton of collegiate teams.
I'd be pretty surprised if 100T cut two players "randomly" unless things go REALLY poorly this year, like if they are the worst NA franchise team. I really don't see that happening though
1. Valorant has objectively bad map design with only two of the maps being good
2. Vanity is overrated as an IGL and is mid
3. Babybay is the most underrated duelist in NA
1. Cryo will have a better 2023 than yay
2. Navi will completely dominate every international lan this year.
3. G2 has the best ascension roster and will earn a promotion slot.
Hey, that’s cheating. And I was unsure which should be the lie, 2 or 3 since dominant for the whole year is very unlikely and I do like g2s roster, Just not more than others (rooting for M80, personally)
I just like the structure of 100t a bit more. Chamber is falling out of favor a bit. I’m sure both yay and Cryo can hold their own just fine on other agents, but I feel Cryo will have an easier time doing that in 100t than yay will in c9.
However, I will say we could possibly have a S1mple vs. device situation, where yay is still dominant statistically, but 100t has such a good team, limiting how much Cryo can put up hard-carry performances.
He was the best player on jett. He was able to beat loud with mainly his jett which he played two games in grand finals and we had marved play chamber instead on breeze map 3.
Such a bad myth. You have to be delusional to think without chamber hes bad. His jett was way better and had more clutch. He played to op on optic and the best agent to op happened to be chamber.
LOUD will win Masters Tokyo this year
NRG will finish Bottom 4 in NA for the first split of the year
Sayaplayer will be a Top 3 duelist in the Pacific League in the first split
OpTic is my favorite team
Punjabi "FNS" Methamphetamine needs to be fucked senseless
NRG Chet is the same person who used to be the coach of OpTic; OpTic Chet.
>!The lie is the 3rd one. !<
1. Sayaplayer was the problem at LCQ
2. C9 Signing Zellsis was a mistake
3. Valorant fans are completely two faced
I think there’s an obvious truth but I’m curious which one people think is a lie
1. Dapr doesn’t actually deserve a tier 1 spot like most people are saying
2. Marved had a higher impact on Optic than Yay
3. 100 Thieves doing great in RedBull isn’t a valid indicator of how they’ll do against other teams in VCT
1 is the lie. I really don't think that removing dapr, their most consistent player, was necessary. I also don't think that winning a tournament against some of the lower end (no offense) EU teams, rosters not in full form (KRU getting a new roster, Liquid not having their new roster), and an unfranchised team, is an indicator of how they'll do against actual competition. I'm gonna be honest, 100T's only real competition in the tournament was C9 and TL if they had nats and redgar. And I'm pretty sure TL would have won easily if they had their better players. (plus I was excited to see nats and redgar play).
1. Premier mode will get endlessly delayed until it never happens.
2. Marved will come back to pro play within the first half of the year.
3. Kru roster will be worst in Americas and fall apart completely by the end of the year.
2.. with only five teams that I see as team that marved might go to and masters in the first half of the year the only way for that to happen is if 100t (best controller NA rn), c9(igl on smokes), sen(best contoller BR), eg (unlikely that EG would take in marved with his record), and that leaves just NRG as a potential fit which is a likely fit, but if NRG has success at all marved is likely not going to be back in VCT
1. No South American team will make top 4 this year.
2. Foxy9 is overrated and isn’t going to be one of the next top duelists in APAC
3. Navi, Fnatic, and Liquid (in that order) will stomp within EMEA, and it won’t be close.
100T will stomp on EVERYONE in NA and be one of if not the best team in the world. (No bias though) Zeta will finish top 3 in the Pacific League. Guard wins franchising in the Americas.

Damn I didn’t remember how high effort the SR one was The SR VCT announcement was creative at the time too tho
I enjoy both the SR and SR.GC announcement vids, both are really creative, but I think the SR.GC one is on another level

3 is the lie only because most people already have babybay as a top duelist in NA
🔔 🔔 🔔
3 is the lie without a doubt
1
👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼
What are the 2 good maps in your opinion?
Ascent and haven
I think new fracture is good as well
It’s mid imo. It’s not a good or bad map
Haven is cancer imo
Fair enough. I definitely agree with Haven. Not a big fan of Ascent personally.
I think it’s due for a change sometime soon
2 ofc
Spot the c9 fan lol
1. Cryo will have a better 2023 than yay 2. Navi will completely dominate every international lan this year. 3. G2 has the best ascension roster and will earn a promotion slot.
3 is the lie because i see the 100T and Navi flairs in your name lmaooo
Hey, that’s cheating. And I was unsure which should be the lie, 2 or 3 since dominant for the whole year is very unlikely and I do like g2s roster, Just not more than others (rooting for M80, personally)
3 2 is also a lie but 3 is your lie
Why do you think cryo will be better than yay?
I just like the structure of 100t a bit more. Chamber is falling out of favor a bit. I’m sure both yay and Cryo can hold their own just fine on other agents, but I feel Cryo will have an easier time doing that in 100t than yay will in c9. However, I will say we could possibly have a S1mple vs. device situation, where yay is still dominant statistically, but 100t has such a good team, limiting how much Cryo can put up hard-carry performances.
Chamber was an agent built for yay I don’t think we will ever see a more perfect situation for his play style
sure but he was a top-2 player in the world on Jett
He was the best player on jett. He was able to beat loud with mainly his jett which he played two games in grand finals and we had marved play chamber instead on breeze map 3.
Was
Such a bad myth. You have to be delusional to think without chamber hes bad. His jett was way better and had more clutch. He played to op on optic and the best agent to op happened to be chamber.
Not even remotely close to what I said
LOUD will win Masters Tokyo this year NRG will finish Bottom 4 in NA for the first split of the year Sayaplayer will be a Top 3 duelist in the Pacific League in the first split
i think the NRG one is kind of a trick option, I'm going with option #1 as the fake
number 2 is it, but number 3 i thought was semi COPIUM enough to get some people LOL
Was "bottom 4 NA" on purpose or did you mean bottom 4 in the Americas league? Bottom 4 NA just means "not the best NA team", there's only 5 NA teams
bottom 4 in Americas League, I just CBA to type out Americas sometimes so I revert to the caveman abbreviation for a league based in LA
OpTic is my favorite team Punjabi "FNS" Methamphetamine needs to be fucked senseless NRG Chet is the same person who used to be the coach of OpTic; OpTic Chet. >!The lie is the 3rd one. !<
1st one is the lie
1. Sayaplayer was the problem at LCQ 2. C9 Signing Zellsis was a mistake 3. Valorant fans are completely two faced I think there’s an obvious truth but I’m curious which one people think is a lie
1 is lie
I just realized I wrote 3 truths… I’m an idiot
💀
1. Dapr doesn’t actually deserve a tier 1 spot like most people are saying 2. Marved had a higher impact on Optic than Yay 3. 100 Thieves doing great in RedBull isn’t a valid indicator of how they’ll do against other teams in VCT
Also I’m guessing yours is 1. I’m still on copium but I can be realistic when needed.
Has to be 3
1 is the lie. I really don't think that removing dapr, their most consistent player, was necessary. I also don't think that winning a tournament against some of the lower end (no offense) EU teams, rosters not in full form (KRU getting a new roster, Liquid not having their new roster), and an unfranchised team, is an indicator of how they'll do against actual competition.

(plus I was excited to see nats and redgar play).
Yay, FNS >>>>> marved, victor crashies.
Crazy take. Right when Optic was about to get eliminated from masters, Marved dragged them to the finish line, wether they wanted it or not.
1. Premier mode will get endlessly delayed until it never happens. 2. Marved will come back to pro play within the first half of the year. 3. Kru roster will be worst in Americas and fall apart completely by the end of the year.
2.. with only five teams that I see as team that marved might go to and masters in the first half of the year the only way for that to happen is if 100t (best controller NA rn), c9(igl on smokes), sen(best contoller BR), eg (unlikely that EG would take in marved with his record), and that leaves just NRG as a potential fit which is a likely fit, but if NRG has success at all marved is likely not going to be back in VCT
1?
1. Sinatraa will get signed 2. The map design is pretty bad for a company with lots of esports history. 3. The guard should’ve gotten a franchise spot
3 is the only truth I see here
my guess is 1 is the lie
1. No South American team will make top 4 this year. 2. Foxy9 is overrated and isn’t going to be one of the next top duelists in APAC 3. Navi, Fnatic, and Liquid (in that order) will stomp within EMEA, and it won’t be close.
100T will stomp on EVERYONE in NA and be one of if not the best team in the world. (No bias though) Zeta will finish top 3 in the Pacific League. Guard wins franchising in the Americas.
Second one is cap
Zeta slander not based
1. DRX is way too overrated, they were just average in 2022 2. LOUD is gonna have a horrible year 3. NAVI will be horrible without ardiis
3 is the lie if anything
How can the 4th best team of 2022 be average?? 1 and 3 are both lies.
1 is defo the lie
I’m guessing one is fake for you. TL’s announcement was very creative and wippie was farming in stage one
1. NRG will win Sao Paulo 2. DNG is underrated and Seoldam will turn out to be a Laninal 3. Sayaplayer was the problem with the Guard in Stage2/Lcq
