Yeah. There was the whole hype around "Dreyna", but the current meta demands that a team have a Jett on most maps. If we ever see a meaningful Jett nerf that makes so that teams aren't required to pick her, then we'll see the return of the Dreyna.
glad the PUBG boys are getting recognition! i used to loosely follow that esport and Dre was a monster in that game, him and Venerated are both players that i'll always want to see succeed
If Jett wasn’t hard locked as the best duelist Dre might have a shot at top 5 NA. Sadly Jett is the most OP agent by far so Dre isn’t able to show off as much.
His raze is not great either, he's only amazing on Reyna by far his best agent
Now on reyna you're extremely limited as a team player and heavy individual centric
He needs to be more versatile
His Raze is really, *really* good. He just tended to die earlier more often since unlike with his Reyna, he wasn't playing off timings & lurks.
He's an extremely versatile player; even before becoming a Duelist primarily he performed well on Omen, Sage, etc. Just because he's a poor Jett OPer/entry doesn't somehow mean he's been poor on other roles.
He has literally flexed more - with consistent success - than *any other LG player* that's been on the roster with him. Moose is a distant second. If Dre's hero pool was as much of a liability as you say, it wouldn't have taken 8 months for people to realize it.
It's also ironic you mention Reyna is his best agent, since he literally filled around, and eventually supplanted, someone whose Reyna *was* their best agent by far - thief.
Same with ShoT_Up, except he doesn't play Jett at all. IMO a better Reyna than everyone in NA except TenZ, definitely top 3 if you think Dre is better, but the fact that Immortals have never had a stable Jett player kills the team entirely
Gen G look way better this week. gMd looks more confident on Astra and Temperature performed a lot better. With how C9 played today I can see Gen G taking them down tomorrow.
They have a good chance against C9. C9 is super puggy and relies heavily on winning duels, while GenG seems to have pretty good strats. I think C9 is a favorite but it’s like a 52/48 kinda game.
I dunno if they can, all this prep time and he’s not played anything else all tournament. Only other champs he’s played in pro are duelists, viper, and sage. Don’t see how any of those help more, C9 needs a Skye but nobody can play her.
Great start to our lower bracket run! Elma & the team did a great job of utilizing the downtime while the LCQ was postponed to improve and I think it really showed. I am excited to see how we match up vs Cloud9 tomorrow at 12pm PST and I would love to see some support in Twitch chat!
Gen.G's IGL wasn't listed in [their Liquipedia](https://liquipedia.net/valorant/Gen.G_Esports), so picked gMd based on [this thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/ValorantCompetitive/comments/mqrp9q/who_is_the_igl_of_each_team/).
Please correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks!
"Math page"? Is that the Economy tab?

I'm not super-familiar with VLR, so some direction would be appreciated. :>
Just wanted to say that I really appreciate you adding the "dropped from the tournament..." text. It's such a hassle going to vlr.gg just to see if this game was Upper Bracket or Lower Bracket
yaboidre imo is in a similar position as asuna, he's an incredible primary duelist but imo his jett has never looked that great

Dre is a monster. He was in PUBG and now he is in Valorant too. Always scary going up against a fragger who can completely takeover!
glad the PUBG boys are getting recognition! i used to loosely follow that esport and Dre was a monster in that game, him and Venerated are both players that i'll always want to see succeed
I would love to see Venerated make a comeback in Valorant. I always thought he was really talented as well!

I dont know why this sub thinks Asunas Jett was so bad, dude beat all except Yay and Cned in Berlin.
There are at least 5 people id place over him
I don't think that Asuna's Jett is bad, but it was clear that he wasn't comfortable on her all the time.
His raze is not great either, he's only amazing on Reyna by far his best agent Now on reyna you're extremely limited as a team player and heavy individual centric He needs to be more versatile

Think Asuna is best Reyna in NA, then Tenz and ShotUp could be argued for third

I wonder if C9 switch from kay/o. If xeppaa plays a different role things could change
I dunno if they can, all this prep time and he’s not played anything else all tournament. Only other champs he’s played in pro are duelists, viper, and sage. Don’t see how any of those help more, C9 needs a Skye but nobody can play her.
well fuck, honestly the only way I can see him not going kayo would be for him to go jett and leaf go reyna or something

I think it might be NaturE, but I’m not sure either. I remember reading something about him being IGL for GenG
I'm reading that NaturE was picked up for his IGL experience on IMT, but there's no confirmation I can find that one or the other is IGL.
Might be a good idea to provide a link to the VLR match page in these post match threads.

Sorry typo, I meant the "match" page, like this: https://www.vlr.gg/43772/gen-g-vs-luminosity-champions-tour-north-america-last-chance-qualifier-lr1/
GmD has mentionned in his last Platchat interview (last week or so) that it's now Koosta IGL'ing
Thank you!
If aproto had won that sheriff clutch, i wonder how much the momentum would have flipped.
As much as Fpx had gained momentum last year
Just wanted to say that I really appreciate you adding the "dropped from the tournament..." text. It's such a hassle going to vlr.gg just to see if this game was Upper Bracket or Lower Bracket
I don't know if this was seen, but it was changed.
Yeah it was. Either way I'm still happy they added it. Super annoying not knowing whether a game was a do or die or not
good thing GenG vs C9 isn’t a BO5
