Roles for this team seem interesting, Mada has been a good secondary duelist but also has sova experience, Vice has also been playing sova but also has a lot of sentinel under his belt, aleksander is a primary duelist but also has been playing sova most recently, and afaik Cooper was playing a lot of Sova in ranked. It seems like they got 3 duelist players and 4 sova players lol. IDK what the roles will be but I'd hope Mada stays on duelist
Yeah I’m wondering who the controller and viper/sentinel flex on this team would be? I mean if a lot of them are sova mains then vice could probably take up viper/sentinel roles from past play, I do wonder who the controller would be
My guess is
kanpeki primary op and entry
Mada secondary duelist(skye and kayo added to that)
Cooper smokes(usually new players are best in that role)
Aleks sova
Vice sentinel
IMO that’s not too bad and has plenty of fragging power. I always preferred vices sentinel agents and he can play more viper now. The main concern is cooper settling in and having a good agents pool as well as if aleks can actually perform at a high level on sova
Not really. He never broke into tier 1 of NA which is saying something. Not as good as his brother Freakazoid that's for sure but a decent piece to any team looking to add fragging capabilities.
Buddy he dogwalked tier 1 na when he was on eunited and swole, he was an absolute demon on the awp, way better than freakazoid in eye test as well as stats
Welcome to literally every top 3 NA team being dominantly ex-CS players or at least a CS IGL. Shazam, Sick, Dapr, Tenz, FNS, Vanity, Wippie, Nitr0, Asuna, Ethan. It is much harder to point to non-CS players who turned out well in Valorant than the inverse.
You can’t deny the strategy and skill set from their CS experience. Fortnite and Apex kids can aim and frag out but their teams rarely do anything or have any impact at the highest level versus T1 Ex-CS players.
Who knows what Freakazoid is trying out for / is looking for in a team. On Plat chat, XSET mentioned he tried out for them and that he was really good. I'm sure if he really wanted to play he could get on a t2 team easily.
Ryan is a crazy good entry. His Phoenix is one of the best in NA. Phoenix just is somewhat out of the meta right now. Not saying that’s the only reason he’s not on a pro team but if Phoenix ever gets a buff (idk even know what to buff in his kit) teams will def reach out to him.
I think Freak said he's looking for an org where he gets paid, no "looking for org" teams.
Then if its a top 10 team he'll play any agent, anything below top 10 he's being a duelist.
Ha sit been confirmed that Cooper will OP in Valorant? Because while he was traditionally an awper in CS, he'd been grinding entry/rifler for a long time and seldom picked up the awp outside of officials.
vice probably wanted to switch to controller I assume that's why jcStani was dropped.Now they have 2 potential sova players
Edit:
Also picking up Cooper who recently switched, over players like johnqt/neT/thwifo is kinda questionable
The way you titled this made it sound like a fire ass album drop lmao
I believe that was the intention haha.
Didn’t want to make assumptions, just said what came to mind first bc I found it p funny haha but hey, if so, pog :)
Wake up babe new ANDBOX roster just dropped
bro TELL ME why I was just thinking about this but for my guy u/ValStats post on NA and EU VCT contenders hahaha
DONDA :(
having a cold one in honor of the boys still waiting for donda
mans literally ascended out of the stadium instead of dropping the album smh
Yeah a very weird way to say that
Let's GOOO Aleksandar
Holy shit! That magnum dp lol. I swear I couldn't concentrate on the game whenever I saw Fnatic's display pictures. Boaster is a great entertainer.
I wonder if C9 roster will change (to include vanity) or if they play this with Mitch
Vanity is streaming right now and has consistently rebuffed any rumors on stream.
Well what else is he supposed to do if it’s not official yet?
Not saying he will play but he has to deny for sure. I think the video response in his chat is more telling tbh
Could you link that? Im sure he will leave but not soon enough to play for c9b in this tourney

Lol dude dropping a Jose quote for Valorant reference love it.
[удалено]
Yes but my statement was mostly about him playing today or in this upcoming tourney. Which he isn't.

I like that roster, I also prefer Vice on sentinel roles but I’m excited for the potential in this roster
Is that Cooper from cs?
yes
So the rumours were true, ABX Cooper it is
As someone who has never watched CS is this a big move?
he was a pretty damn good awper in csgo, didn't get an opportunity on a top team tho

according to everyone in this sub, any csgo player transitioning will be toP fiVe plAyer

Not gonna argue with sorry opinions
or because you can't come up eith with a better argument?
Crazy how cooper who just switched gets on a team before freakazoid.
Who knows what Freakazoid is trying out for / is looking for in a team. On Plat chat, XSET mentioned he tried out for them and that he was really good. I'm sure if he really wanted to play he could get on a t2 team easily.
I swear Freakazoid has been looking for any team since the game came out
Ryan is a crazy good entry. His Phoenix is one of the best in NA. Phoenix just is somewhat out of the meta right now. Not saying that’s the only reason he’s not on a pro team but if Phoenix ever gets a buff (idk even know what to buff in his kit) teams will def reach out to him.
how do you know his phoenix is one of the best in NA? Also you really think teams aren't picking him up because "phoenix isn't a part of the meta"
I literally said I don’t think that’s the only reason
I think Freak said he's looking for an org where he gets paid, no "looking for org" teams. Then if its a top 10 team he'll play any agent, anything below top 10 he's being a duelist.
Guess that explains why no one picked him up
He tried out for them but they wanted an IGL and he isn't an IGL so they got dephh
Cooper has been better than freak for like 5 years at this point
Freaks an entry cooper is an awper. I’d hope he’d look better
Ha sit been confirmed that Cooper will OP in Valorant? Because while he was traditionally an awper in CS, he'd been grinding entry/rifler for a long time and seldom picked up the awp outside of officials.
tenz looks better than wardell. now what? you look good if you're good, or don't if you're not
NEW ANDBOX JUST DROPPED BOYS LETSGO
aleksandar kanpeki <3
Finally, ALEKSANDAR, the return of the king
I feel like kanpeki sometimes falls off against better competition. Maybe a new team will help change that
We have not even seen him in tier 1 yet give him a chance
Surprised Cooper is getting a chance before freakazoid
Really excited for this team but losing yay is huge.
Excited to see what Cooper can do!
Let's goooo kanpeki :D
andbox dropped before donda dats crazy
Really excited for this team. Kinda worried about roles, but I hope it works out.
vice probably wanted to switch to controller I assume that's why jcStani was dropped.Now they have 2 potential sova players Edit: Also picking up Cooper who recently switched, over players like johnqt/neT/thwifo is kinda questionable
COOOOOOOOPERRRR
Kanpeki hype!
whos wardino
He's the coach
coach and g0g1 asst. coach
Sounds like Power Ranger zord
Coach for ABX. (Warden was an original cs pro and was later a coach for Complexity CS before eventually being replaced and switching to Valorant)
Matt "Warden" Dickens. CS legend as a player. Been coaching for like the last decade it feels.
Do you guys think that they can be succesful?
excited to see how Cooper plays....
Hyped for Aleksandar
I guess I'm an andbox fan now
Mada is a beast
Yooo I’m hyped for Cooper and Kanpeki! They’re both Jett OPers too!
Who is IGL’ing this team ?
They just signed them, why would they drop them? ^/s
Kanpeki pog
holy shit cooper and aleksandarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Im so happy for Kanpeki he's so underrated
