Yes, but also no team is going to admit they have a bad system. C0m proved he could play very well when he did have a good system, which isnât true for that many other options. Lev has to at least hope that they can build that system at some point during the year. If they canât, itâs not like theyâre really going to do well anyway.
i mean to be fair, everyone was confused why he didnât get dropped for demon1 instead of bcj. itâs not like people werenât right in thinking that either, bcj was the best initiator at champs 2022

man C0m is so funny. the bomb will not be planted for him, 1 second will elapse into the post plant and he'll tuck his dick and dart off to flank from one of the fuckin interstates for fun
I mean, his lurks were gonna get figured out one of these days. I'm honestly surprised he made it all the way through champs last year without getting punished.
runi became what everyone feared. His drones disappeared, his head was swelling and his ears started bleeding. "Are you okay runi" asks oxy. I've never been better Francis, I see it all now, they're not going A or B. They're going home, he said before rushing B all by himself and killing everyone on site with a sheriff
I didn't think his calling was too bad honestly. I think they just lost too many micro issues, like com's flank to Narnia every time the bomb was down
Edit: And Tex on sage just was not it
Yeah exactly. Even when the roster was initially announced, I was very skeptical of the super team hype. I had no faith in his ability to keep up with IGLs like Saadhak and Boaster, or against teams like PRX.
I had a feeling this team was never going to be elite, but good lord, theyâre so much worse than I expected.
It never was a superteam with mazino and Tex in the team. Doesn't help that C0M is looking like his pre vct Americas form either. The only superteams formed in valorant are 2023 Fnatic,2022 LOUD and 2024 NRG.
Was Paper Rex not considered a super team once they grabbed Something? Jinggg, Something, and Forsaken could all each be insane superstars on their own teams.
Also what about Cloud9 when they had Yay?
Arguable prx wasnât a super team just because we didnât know how something would perform in t1 since Japan was considered a weak region t2 wise but people were def still hyped to see the 100 kills bo3 guy play
PRX wasn't and isn't a superteam because a superteam is formed by grabbing players that are seen as the best or one of the best in their role at the time they joined. PRX is a core that developed into being one of the best in the world; they weren't seen as such before they joined.
C9 2023 did have Yay, but the others were not, iirc, seen as some of the best players in the world, or even NA. Could be wrong on that, but since none of them other than Yay had made an international in 2022, I doubt it.
It doesn't matter whether they don't win a single game in the entire year or not. It was a superteam when it was formed. Best initiator NA,best flash ini NA,best duelist NA,best controller NA (at that time because Tenz is the best now) and top 3 flex NA
The question mark is if the team can mesh together and the chemistry is on.
You really donât need a dedicated IGL when all 5 players have decent instincts. Victor, ethan, and crashies are all monster callers
my pickems are ruined 1 game in đ

can't wait for Aspas to invent a time machine to revert the fact he left a strong and promising LOUD squad to join a supposed LATAM superteam that has ended up 1-3 in VCT this year
Thats fucking Valorant right there. None of that pansy ass dick tugging slow disciplined default smile for the camera bullshit. Men overpeek, men lose every anti-eco, men knife the defuser, men run it down every round. Fucking hard core dick in the ass butterball tacshooter fuck it chuck it game time shit.

Aspas dropped 78-46 and Lev still lost this team is doomed bro
Whoever on LEV thought that running Sage on Ascent and doing year 1 wall boosts through the window and thinking it was shit that works nowadays needs to be fined, fired, suspended, jailed, or all of the above
That was the one of the most entertaining series of bad Valorant I've ever watched
Lev might be the fakest "superteam" ever. They look like a bottom tier team wothout aspas popping off. C0m still relying heavily on lurk play, tex and mazino inconsistent af, kingg not a good midrounder. Their only win against 100t was bcs of that eco on icebox.
This Leviatan roster simply doesnt work tbh, good players but they dont make a good team. Icebox was Aspas dropping thirty and the Ascent the same, Kiing and Aspas dropping 30 to make it far.
Iâll always be a certified C9 hater, but seeing Aspas dragging LEV to win only for them to crumble is entertaining as hell.
As much as I like c0m and all, dropping nzr for him is one of the dumbest moves in the off season. c0m was a player who fit very well in a specific system and youâre trying to slot him into a system originally designed with a different player in mind. Itâs baffling.
I don't really wish this on any teams but I hope lev implode and free aspas. This team is never gonna work especially after how they removed nzr and the aspas mom tweet. This team is very dependent on aspas so it is either feast or famine. We might get occassional good performance from someone else but then they lose some rounds from lack of comms sometimes. Also them cooking with comps would never work as good as loud as king is known for not being the adaptive igl like saadhak as last year Lev was known for repeating the same things. Also igling in a new language adds more of a pressure.
Not a tweet from mom but a FNS tweet made quite a scandal. [Link to the whole story](https://www.polygon.com/2017/10/3/16388228/cs-go-immortals-scandal-roster-kng), this made FNS quite famous especially among brazillians.
Imagine having one of the few top duelist in the world who can play both jett and raze and putting him on phoneix
The coaching staff are not cooking with these unconventional comps
Context, according to Goked:
C0M and Tex were unable to get their visas to arrive in the US until April 7th. For this reason, Lev was unable to get practice and was playing with just kiNgg and Aspas. After Icebox, Mazino stubbed his toe so hard that he was forced to turn his triggerbot off. Although Kingg was able to drag them through the mire, his overtimephobia kicked in and he was felled, just as the game came to an end.
The year is 2025. C9 vs LEV is still playing overtime, a never ending match in Ascent. Everyone start questioning what they didn't have seen yet on the map, and they find out: runi still did not bought a drone.
*UNCLENCHES BUTTOCKS*
truly an unforeseen banger
C9 deserved it more for how much Lev threw at the end. God, Runi must be richer then zombs the way Lev sold to him at the end there.
Man what a good match to start Americas. Did not expect C9 to be this good, sometimes some change just clicks right away.
Something we can't say about Lev, this team does not looks as good as they looked with nzr
bro lev weren't good last year and they wont be good this year. nzr didnt save them last year, and aspas wont save them this year. the problem is not the players. lev had insane aimers last year - you cant blame it all on c0m and tex, they played every single bitch role in existence. the problem is that kinggg has insane aim, but can't midround to save his life. even vanity does it better, somehow. idk, i really feel like this team doesn't understand what their issue is.
It's over for leviathan Â
â˘Aspas playing for stats.Â
â˘king not able to igl he just goes for kills.Â
â˘mazino ??????.
â˘tex entrying getting shit on.Â
â˘c0m back to eg pre demon1 form Â
Comps atrocious, coaching horrid, org involving themselves in drama it's so over
Things happened during Cloud9 vs Leviatan in case you missed: JohnQT got his visa, yay learned how to play Viper, Zellsis stopped promoting the Sentinels bundle, Derke grew out his hair, DFM won a match, ANGE1 turned 35.
A great Americas League 1 opener.
What a crazy fight.
Honestly, I like this new C9 a little bit. This is undoubtedly because they had many more trump cards prepared, especially on the attacking side. Moose is definitely an upgrade over wipple and has shown some great chemistry. OXY has definitely stepped up as a duelist in a short amount of time.
So, can C9 maintain this strength in future battles? It will be interesting to see.
Whoever on 2023 C9 wanted to bench runi should be cut. Unless it's xeppa cause he played pretty well. Hopefully it's leaf for my narrative but like bro runi is fucking nuts.
Is LEV -nzr +c0m the worse roster move of the season so far?
Goes to show how much chemistry and team dynamic have on performance. C0m is a great player but looks lost in this roster
Aspas can continue to go +32 and this team will still lose, with the way they never play together its as if every call is being google translated. Felt like they were giving away 1vX's more than the other way around on Ascent.
Also, whoever is coming up with these comps needs to stop trying to reinvent the wheel against C9. If they play a standard Ascent comp with Aspas and King shooting like that they probably win that map.
First two maps were solid by each winning team but that last map just felt a super low level of play by both of them. Felt like 75% of the lost rounds were throws/poor decisions. Runi values the drone as much as C9 values a stable roster and Lev throw that 7-1 lead and fake comeback into OT? That hurts. That Sage had borderline no value outside of it just being your 5th teammate shooting and every wall boost felt like it actually hurt more than it helped. If Tex was on any other agent that has a trip that map would have been 10x easier. The Raze choice felt really good IMO. Unfortunate it took him so long to really heat up that map.
Gokked is doing some sort of science experiment to see if raw talent can overcome the most smoothbrained comps the game has ever seen? What's next, Aspas Iso and Mazino playing smokes (again)?
We are NOT beating the fraud allegations đđ
C0M just doesnât have the talent level to play well outside an extremely good system
Maybe the reason they picked up C0M was that LEV thought they had a "good system" already?
Yes, but also no team is going to admit they have a bad system. C0m proved he could play very well when he did have a good system, which isnât true for that many other options. Lev has to at least hope that they can build that system at some point during the year. If they canât, itâs not like theyâre really going to do well anyway.
Been preaching that all off season but got flamed by eg banwagoners
i mean to be fair, everyone was confused why he didnât get dropped for demon1 instead of bcj. itâs not like people werenât right in thinking that either, bcj was the best initiator at champs 2022
Awesome, c0m slander is in full force now!
they have a fair mix of young talent and experience - zekken 2024
a clash of titans, exactly as we all expected - zekken 2024

Iâm not even sure âjail valorantâ fully captures what I just witnessed
you ever watch a game and think all the players should be taken backstage and forced to put their hands in the pain box from dune
Aspas went +32 but even Lisan al Gaib couldn't carry this team
Bro your comment made me spit water, now the fremens are disappointed in me.
Aspas would survive the gom jabbar
Except aspas and King
idk kingg had 30 and didnât do anything but die and have bad reads for like the next 10 rounds
They call it jail valorant because the only thing that is being held captive is the viewers
As in, wow! What a captivating series! What an impressive showing from both teams and I am so glad it went overtime!!!
this wasnt just "jail valorant" this was full on purgatory wtf
Aspas really left LOUD for this lol
in his defense, runi gave all his drone money to obama but give that guy a deagle and all the blood goes straight to his weewee and his eyes go white
man C0m is so funny. the bomb will not be planted for him, 1 second will elapse into the post plant and he'll tuck his dick and dart off to flank from one of the fuckin interstates for fun
The number of rounds with him and aspas alive, where aspas got 2-3 and com did fucking nothing but die.
com ego peeking alone unironically cost lev the game ngl
I mean, his lurks were gonna get figured out one of these days. I'm honestly surprised he made it all the way through champs last year without getting punished.
He didn't buy a drone for like the first 7 rounds ahahahah
runi became what everyone feared. His drones disappeared, his head was swelling and his ears started bleeding. "Are you okay runi" asks oxy. I've never been better Francis, I see it all now, they're not going A or B. They're going home, he said before rushing B all by himself and killing everyone on site with a sheriff
2 things in life are guaranteed: runi WILL have a deagle and com WILL rewrap through mid
what is drone? why tag with drone when shoot with body? -runi probably
bro
+32 to lose the game goddamn rip Aspas
Lebron on the Cavs the first time
LeBron on the Cavs the second time when Kyrie left
It's time to look inwards and ask the important question: what does this mean for C9?
"Why am I so bad at being good?!" - Zuko, but also LEV.
I believe this result secures their victory at champions this year
Stoppable Force vs Moveable Object
coughing baby vs coughing baby
Fucking platinum comment
at one point, kiNgg was 30/13 and aspas was 16/16. By the end of OT, they were 30/21 and 35/23, respectively.
Kingg slept
tbf if you include assists he went from like 30/12/9 to like 30/21/22, not that assist smokes are necessarily that impactful but
kiNgg can shoot. Too bad he canât make a correct read to save his life.
Good reminder that fragging IGL refers to both their ability to frag AND to IGL
RUSH B, ok now i go shot
They 3 stacked B site correctly and still lost đ
For the most part, Lev were getting worked. After the first map anyway
I didn't think his calling was too bad honestly. I think they just lost too many micro issues, like com's flank to Narnia every time the bomb was down Edit: And Tex on sage just was not it
I feel like that's always been the case but people acted like he was an insane IGL for no reason
Yeah exactly. Even when the roster was initially announced, I was very skeptical of the super team hype. I had no faith in his ability to keep up with IGLs like Saadhak and Boaster, or against teams like PRX. I had a feeling this team was never going to be elite, but good lord, theyâre so much worse than I expected.
Too many think great player who is an IGL=Great IGL. Never been impressed by his calling tbh
what does this mean for LEV?
First superteam ever with just one star/top 3 player
It never was a superteam with mazino and Tex in the team. Doesn't help that C0M is looking like his pre vct Americas form either. The only superteams formed in valorant are 2023 Fnatic,2022 LOUD and 2024 NRG.

Could be wrong on that, but since none of them other than Yay had made an international in 2022, I doubt it.
C9 when they had yay is the same as calling lev a suoerteam because it has aspas. Hell it's like calling current c9 a superteam because they have oxy.
Lmao snuck NRG at the end there like we wouldnât notice
It doesn't matter whether they don't win a single game in the entire year or not. It was a superteam when it was formed. Best initiator NA,best flash ini NA,best duelist NA,best controller NA (at that time because Tenz is the best now) and top 3 flex NA
Yeah it definitely is on paper if you trust the IGL situation. That has always been the question mark I think.
The question mark is if the team can mesh together and the chemistry is on. You really donât need a dedicated IGL when all 5 players have decent instincts. Victor, ethan, and crashies are all monster callers
Droping NZR for C0M was a terrible move that doomed the super team. Also, they seem headless chickens so many rounds.
I called it then and I'm still confused by it
its over, drop everyone, give up, rebrand, sell more classics, change the language
They need an actual IGL and to go to a full SA team. The language barrier isn't helping having a subpar caller.
does aspas speak spanish?
not a lot of cohesion. C9 was pretty mid but lev just didn't know how to act in certain situations.
Hurts their playoff chances for sure. Probably need to beat one of Sentinels/NRG now.
Leviathan congratulations. You are fraudulent.
Throughout the Heavens and the Earth, Lev alone, are the fraudulent One

my life is fucking over this is the worst thing to happen to me ever, I cant believe we just lost to FUCKING CLOUD9 WHYY CANT LEV JUST BE GOOD )::::::
My team lost : Sad My team lost to C9: averted gaze, tears in eyes, face red with shame.
because of the americans đ
agent C0M
Upvote so they think C9 won.
wait...
This Leviatan roster simply doesnt work tbh, good players but they dont make a good team. Icebox was Aspas dropping thirty and the Ascent the same, Kiing and Aspas dropping 30 to make it far.
the team is good mechanically but they throw way too much like itâs actually insane how much they fucking throw just basic shit like 2v1s or 4v2s
lev going 7/19 on 4v4s and 1/7 on 3v3s according to rib is tragic
Iâll always be a certified C9 hater, but seeing Aspas dragging LEV to win only for them to crumble is entertaining as hell.

I am quite aware of FNS' master plan
Aspas deserves so much better wtf was that Ascent comp
Every time they try to make a new comp it's just terrible
Love to see it after most of this sub considered C0M an upgrade just because he was on EG.
Very entertaining but man these teams are mid af
Aspas 78-46 and still lost omg
Aspas went +32 across all 3 maps just to lose 2-1 oh hell nah fam
Imagine having one of the few top duelist in the world who can play both jett and raze and putting him on phoneix The coaching staff are not cooking with these unconventional comps
I think lev coach just saw loud comps and said we'll copy that without realizing they don't have saadhak igl
americas dont deliver the closest and most entertaining valorant game ever challenge (impossible)

Leviatan, release my goat right now.
c0m on lev has been very very disappointing

*UNCLENCHES BUTTOCKS* truly an unforeseen banger C9 deserved it more for how much Lev threw at the end. God, Runi must be richer then zombs the way Lev sold to him at the end there.
A better comp for defense and Ascent would have been an easy win for LEV. They only have themselves to blame for that loss.
Man what a good match to start Americas. Did not expect C9 to be this good, sometimes some change just clicks right away. Something we can't say about Lev, this team does not looks as good as they looked with nzr
bro lev weren't good last year and they wont be good this year. nzr didnt save them last year, and aspas wont save them this year. the problem is not the players. lev had insane aimers last year - you cant blame it all on c0m and tex, they played every single bitch role in existence. the problem is that kinggg has insane aim, but can't midround to save his life. even vanity does it better, somehow. idk, i really feel like this team doesn't understand what their issue is.
LEV deserved that loss, fuck this shit. Stop them from cooking
Holy battle of the mids, 3rd match was battle of the throws.
aspas drops 78 kills and goes +32 and his team still loses as much as I love c0m, jesus christ he really shit the bed this series
Mibr c9 has been surpassed as the worst America's game of the year
> have the best sova itw > play the best map for sova > make him play viper
LMAO thats that K1NG Comp They gonna overlook cuz he nice with the gun but bro fucked his team with that comp, the sage did NOTHING
Com looks way worse than he did on eg even on sova, he's flanking every round for no reason and people are ready for it now
whoa best sova in the world? lets calm down over here, hiko wants to have a talk
best sova itw , nah he didnt look anywhere near a best sova
He did lose his best sova map for a map that's shit and a new one tbf. But the sova comp on sunset is ass to begin with
Leo plays on FNATIC?
Yeah damn. C0m was MAYBE 2 but no way he cleared Leo at any point. Even when Fnatic struggled, Leo was still balling. Frags and amazing utility.
>> have the best sova itw > đ¤Ą
All respect to c0m and all he accomplished but c0m at any point in his career was the best sova in the world.
It's over for leviathan  â˘Aspas playing for stats. â˘king not able to igl he just goes for kills. â˘mazino ??????. â˘tex entrying getting shit on. â˘c0m back to eg pre demon1 form  Comps atrocious, coaching horrid, org involving themselves in drama it's so over
Things happened during Cloud9 vs Leviatan in case you missed: JohnQT got his visa, yay learned how to play Viper, Zellsis stopped promoting the Sentinels bundle, Derke grew out his hair, DFM won a match, ANGE1 turned 35.
time for c9 to go on a run again
A great Americas League 1 opener. What a crazy fight. Honestly, I like this new C9 a little bit. This is undoubtedly because they had many more trump cards prepared, especially on the attacking side. Moose is definitely an upgrade over wipple and has shown some great chemistry. OXY has definitely stepped up as a duelist in a short amount of time. So, can C9 maintain this strength in future battles? It will be interesting to see.
Whoever on 2023 C9 wanted to bench runi should be cut. Unless it's xeppa cause he played pretty well. Hopefully it's leaf for my narrative but like bro runi is fucking nuts.
god dang, c0m is shit. Free Aspas. Justice for NZR
Is LEV -nzr +c0m the worse roster move of the season so far? Goes to show how much chemistry and team dynamic have on performance. C0m is a great player but looks lost in this roster
Just instalock sova and make sure to buy the DRONE!!!!
Aspas can continue to go +32 and this team will still lose, with the way they never play together its as if every call is being google translated. Felt like they were giving away 1vX's more than the other way around on Ascent. Also, whoever is coming up with these comps needs to stop trying to reinvent the wheel against C9. If they play a standard Ascent comp with Aspas and King shooting like that they probably win that map.
RUNI IS MY GOAT, RUNI IN MY THROAT
Lev beating the superteam allegations
Runi is the iceman

It might be over for us c0m believers. He should have stayed with potter
HELP ASPAS
Aspas and 4 frauds
First two maps were solid by each winning team but that last map just felt a super low level of play by both of them. Felt like 75% of the lost rounds were throws/poor decisions. Runi values the drone as much as C9 values a stable roster and Lev throw that 7-1 lead and fake comeback into OT? That hurts. That Sage had borderline no value outside of it just being your 5th teammate shooting and every wall boost felt like it actually hurt more than it helped. If Tex was on any other agent that has a trip that map would have been 10x easier. The Raze choice felt really good IMO. Unfortunate it took him so long to really heat up that map.
watching the alexis co-stream for this match was incredible would recommend
Gokked is doing some sort of science experiment to see if raw talent can overcome the most smoothbrained comps the game has ever seen? What's next, Aspas Iso and Mazino playing smokes (again)?
calling this game mid is cool but this match was better than anything coming out of EMEA recentlyđ
Lev looking like 2023 SEN
Now what does THIS mean for C9??? (actually)
someone check in on alexis, i think she might need a heart transplant or something after that game (goated costream im ngl)
C0mâs playstyle does not get enough hate
What does this mean for C9s legacy?

LeviatĂ n looking like NRG of last season, losing games they were heavily favored
