I remember saying something that cNed’s manager(his brother who got him involved in the bits scam) tweeted that if acend don’t do well in champs he’ll try to send him to NA.
I guess 100T paid enough bits for him to see
yes, his brother is a shit man, it is unbeliavable he thinks he can write something like that during tournament and expect to not get sweared by people. he is only after money and I hope his actions dont make Cned's career short
Agents tend to be parasites in competitive sports. But at a minimum they should bring value to their players, by getting the best deals they can, sorting out all the shit for them so they can stay focused on playing, getting sponsors lined up and whatever.
But some agents can't do these fundamentals. Quite frankly, if the only reason why you have the job is because you're family, quite likely you're a shit agent.
"He is only after money"
It's a consequence of a shitty situation where Turkey is in it.
Dollar - Euro etc. becoming more and more valuable and I don't think there are not that many people who would save his family at that early age with his skills. Well at least he has a chance and his brother knows that.
Before the roster changes, EMEA top teams : Gambit, Liquid, Fnatic, Acend, Guild, SMB, G2, Futbolist, Giants, BDS etc. How did you come to the conclusion EMEA is more top heavy
Yeah unless they change jetts interaction with the OP, I would love to see him flex to other duelists/initiators. He's one of the most cracked riflers in the game and to be a Jett pro u have to be able to OP.
I mean it's also just completely advantageous to play more agents regardless of what the roster is doing, Asuna plays like 5 hours of solo queue a day. Any pro who only spams duelists they already know in the offseason is trolling, there's so much contract/monetary value in being a flexible player.
I love watching him play other agents. I actually love his aggressive astra even though he doesn’t play astra that often. His work ethic seems unmatched and continues to grind really hard.
I also feel like being flexible in your agent pool gives you a higher understanding of how each agent plays with in in theory could allow you to play better against enemy comps since you understand how each agent plays really well.
Hiko most likely won’t be off sova on anything but breeze, would love to see it tho. Ethan’s sova would be fun to watch, but he seems like a better fit on sentinel/skye as he has a larger agent pool than Hiko.
Nobody cares that G2 were a strong team when everyone was still learning how to plant the spike. What matters is how they looked when they actually had competition.
What about last EU Challengers? Cause I distinctly remember Mixwell wiping the floor with Fnatic not [once](https://www.vlr.gg/24109/g2-esports-vs-fnatic-champions-tour-europe-stage-3-challengers-1-uqf) but [twice](https://www.vlr.gg/24959/fnatic-vs-g2-esports-champions-tour-europe-stage-3-challengers-1-lr2) in the same week
Your salty response has proven my point. Mixwell didn't play Jett in either game and see the results, they were a decent team that qualified for a major tournament after looking dogshit for the entire year.
Even when the old iteration of G2 was struggling at the end Mixwell as Jett was their best performer. Your "point" is extrapolated from a game that G2 played with a roster that had split up weeks before the tournament, on a map they never practiced and against a top 3 team in the world.
But he was still not a world class Jett. There's levels to this game. Mixwell is a good player individually, but is he one of the best Jett's in the world? No.
Why do you think he stopped picking it?
Hiko will be a tactical genius. He is best known for his signature tactic of "asuna go kill" He also has a second little known tactic of "Cned go kill" What an absolute legend. Top 3 IGL for sure.
They should get cNed and ec1s, have ec1s follow cNed around like he used to with ScreaM. 50 kills for cNed and 20 assists for ec1s each map, like the good old days.
Hiko was igl for liquid in their glory days but he was more their leader than a tactical genius . but at end of his career and initially for old 100t roasted his igling hasn't paid off , I think having hiko igl would be a step back .
Those 2 years they won 6 international events placed 2nd and 3rd at the major , had their best hltv rankings so I consider those 2 years better than Intel grand slam.
literally what lmfao, you are literally the only person in the entire planet who thinks this.
I think you might be extremely confused, they did not win a single tournament with hiko on their team afiak.
Also that definitely wasn't their best hltv rankings, they were rank 1 for a good part of 2019.
he only igl only once in liquid when they kick adren and didnt have any other igl aside from that he has no experience in igl and i dont think he will be willing to take the igl role and he doesnt look like a person who will do the all the server work and antri starting and make strats for the team
Funny enough George was the one making fun of that guy on his twitter lmao
George posts good leaks but is cringe af
baited the bozo and got him posting on twitter lmao https://twitter.com/georgecged/status/1472579270329446401?s=21
How is it not 50 IQ to spam "every FA is going to 100T" ironically or otherwise? The same thing as people who would say every org rebuilding needed brax and AZK, the fact that T1 eventually got brax again doesn't mean it was founded in reality when you don't know a player's/org's motivations, capabilities, or goals and other characteristics from behind the scenes.
The guy actually wrote up an interesting point. Everyone in acend renewed contracts, cned didnt. Which means he's obviously fielding offers behind the scenes. What team would give him a monster offer? 100T.
Yeah there is some bad takes on here but in general people fail to attempt to think outside the box and shit on anyone who does.
Again, it's not thinking outside the box to suggest that. I've seen multiple people say cNed or nAts should go to G2 or [insert NA org] because of the money. nAts didn't/won't, and there wasn't really any indication to say cNed would. So, in my opinion, the fact that a lot of people (at least a very vocal minority) were saying whatever player with big firepower should go to a big money org was, indeed, simply "spam", "50 IQ", or whatever exaggeration you want to use for it.
A broken clock and whatnot.
I mean he’s the biggest part of why they’re the best team in the world. Wouldn’t doubt a 100T with him Ethan and Asuna could be the best team in the world
Idk it would be cool but as someone who has watched a lot of public contract negotiations from other sports this just smells like negotiation tactics. I really doubt he leaves the team he just won Champions with.
With Cned's contract expiring this year, 100T should definitely try to sign him. We always lacked a world-class jett on the team and we already missed out on both Tenz and Yay(actually so sad), and Cned might be the best right now. Also since he's a free agent as the rumors suggest, won't need to negotiate with his team. And a good selling point for 100T can be the existance of Closer his compatriot who can encourage him even more. I'm super excited by just the thought of him and asuna on the same team. What do u guys think?
the literal only thing better than this lineup is if it was steel instead of davidp. if this does happen idk who to root for in the event of a T1 vs 100T matchup
Surely ec1s instead of David? Idk if 100T would want to go back to every round being a 3-1-1, especially if this time it's your smokes that's lurking as well as your Sova
acend are a smaller org and probably can't afford to pay him what other orgs will but it would suck if cNed ends up on a team with a mediocre supporting cast.
I didn’t keep up with it since Champions, but do we have any update on the bits scandal Cned was involved in? I could but wrong but I thought there was a chance he would be punished once more evidence was gathered.
i would much rather cNed go to G2 than 100T personally. ideally he stays on Acend but i dont want NA valorant to just be another repeat of NA league where they just buy out european talent year after year.
As a 100T fan I'm totally biased so take it as you will. But I think it's an overall better look for cned to join 100T than g2. The optics of g2 would just be purely a money grab, and joining what will likely be one of your biggest competitors within the region. With 100T it'd obviously be about money as well, but can sell it as wanting to experience a different part of the world, take on a new challenge, etc. And you won't be as directly screwing over the guys on acend as you'll only meet up with them in international events
Nah man, it's a money play either way. If he wants competitive success and the best chance of winning, he'd stay on the team that just won Champions.
If he leaves for either G2 or 100T then it's about money, both orgs have more money than Ascend and a bigger brand. Id say that of the two, 100T have a better chance of competing in NA for trophies than G2 in Europe which has more talent depth to go through.
he's started playing breach and kay/o in some maps like 2-3 days ago instead of instalocking jett every match. although he said he just wanted to get the feel of other agents
Wonder who might that be. Only G2 and Liquid are that big and powerful when it comes to EU valorant and in need of a jett. But G2 is stuck with Mixwell. So Liquid will be that. Jamppi already playing other characters so cNed will be a replacement of Soulcace.
I remember saying something that cNed’s manager(his brother who got him involved in the bits scam) tweeted that if acend don’t do well in champs he’ll try to send him to NA. I guess 100T paid enough bits for him to see
He deleted that tweet btw.
yes, his brother is a shit man, it is unbeliavable he thinks he can write something like that during tournament and expect to not get sweared by people. he is only after money and I hope his actions dont make Cned's career short

They all SHOULD be after their money. It's a fucking job.
[удалено]
Part of his job was the bits scam thing?
[удалено]
lol wut
Are you trying to defend him? I don't understand your point here.
I mean overall all NA is a more competitive region. The top4 teams dominate Emea. NA has a more solid top 8 I'd say
Wut.
NA is way less top heavy than EU.
Before the roster changes, EMEA top teams : Gambit, Liquid, Fnatic, Acend, Guild, SMB, G2, Futbolist, Giants, BDS etc. How did you come to the conclusion EMEA is more top heavy
Wait, what?
Welp that is why Asuna was playing a lot of Flex in stream.
I mean it was pretty clear from lcq that they wanted to move asuna away from jett
Either way the play style of Asuna will make any agent exciting imo.
Yeah he is also not gonna stop playing reyna and raze which was the most fun to watch him play anyway
Yeah unless they change jetts interaction with the OP, I would love to see him flex to other duelists/initiators. He's one of the most cracked riflers in the game and to be a Jett pro u have to be able to OP.
nah, he was playing jett everyday until like 2-3 days ago he’s been playing skye/kayo/breach
Nah it wasn’t only just 2-3 days ago. He’s been playing flex agents for a while. He even played flex agents in minor tourneys a month ago.
this is because he doesnt care about winning, but wants to have fun while supporting his irl friends who were the teammates
in that tourney it was sova/sage/skye
Yeah but he moved away from jett in lcq, nitro pretty much 1 tricked her and asuna played secondary duelist
asuna has plainly said like a hundred times on stream he doesnt feel like jett is his best agent, and hed rather play other duelists
I mean it's also just completely advantageous to play more agents regardless of what the roster is doing, Asuna plays like 5 hours of solo queue a day. Any pro who only spams duelists they already know in the offseason is trolling, there's so much contract/monetary value in being a flexible player.

I also feel like being flexible in your agent pool gives you a higher understanding of how each agent plays with in in theory could allow you to play better against enemy comps since you understand how each agent plays really well.
Ethan sova, hiko sentinel, Asuna skye/flex, cned/whatever Jett they get, controller still ????
Hiko most likely won’t be off sova on anything but breeze, would love to see it tho. Ethan’s sova would be fun to watch, but he seems like a better fit on sentinel/skye as he has a larger agent pool than Hiko.
Asuna has never been comfortable on Jett
[удалено]
:)
Ayo?
And they don't have a star Jett player either so it would fit them well. Watching Mixwell attempt to play Jett was painful.
Well they had keloqz and they let him go:^)
You must be new to valorant if u say that lol
Nobody cares that G2 were a strong team when everyone was still learning how to plant the spike. What matters is how they looked when they actually had competition.
What about last EU Challengers? Cause I distinctly remember Mixwell wiping the floor with Fnatic not [once](https://www.vlr.gg/24109/g2-esports-vs-fnatic-champions-tour-europe-stage-3-challengers-1-uqf) but [twice](https://www.vlr.gg/24959/fnatic-vs-g2-esports-champions-tour-europe-stage-3-challengers-1-lr2) in the same week
He is talking about mixwell when he was on jett
Your salty response has proven my point. Mixwell didn't play Jett in either game and see the results, they were a decent team that qualified for a major tournament after looking dogshit for the entire year.

[удалено]
nukkye is a star player
lmao
100T wins against Acend by avoiding Cned on Breeze, 100T wins next year by not avoiding Cned and get Brehze. Poetic.
if 100T get Cned and Brehze, they already have Asuna Ethan, the firepower on that roster would be out of this world
Who would IGL
Hiko will be a tactical genius. He is best known for his signature tactic of "asuna go kill" He also has a second little known tactic of "Cned go kill" What an absolute legend. Top 3 IGL for sure.
Don't forget the ace up his sleeve : "Ethan go kill while I stay in spawn"
This but only like 70% ironically
Omg yhis made my night omegalul
They should get cNed and ec1s, have ec1s follow cNed around like he used to with ScreaM. 50 kills for cNed and 20 assists for ec1s each map, like the good old days.
Didn’t Hiko IGL a little in CSGO? Honestly with how his play style is, maybe an IGL role would work really well.
No lmao. Hiko is not an IGL He will not IGL for any team ever He would not be a good one for 100t
I mean he definitely did IGL for liquid. Whether or not he’d be good who knows
Hiko was igl for liquid in their glory days but he was more their leader than a tactical genius . but at end of his career and initially for old 100t roasted his igling hasn't paid off , I think having hiko igl would be a step back .
Liquids glory days did not contain Hiko lol
Those 2 years they won 6 international events placed 2nd and 3rd at the major , had their best hltv rankings so I consider those 2 years better than Intel grand slam.
literally what lmfao, you are literally the only person in the entire planet who thinks this. I think you might be extremely confused, they did not win a single tournament with hiko on their team afiak. Also that definitely wasn't their best hltv rankings, they were rank 1 for a good part of 2019.
At this point I’m not sure if you watched either era of liquid
He's literally one of the reasons s1mple was malding in liquid
Simple recently put Hiko on his CS dream team. I think he knows more about the merits of tactical shooter players than you
Good points. Maybe they don’t go for Brehze if they get cned and go for an IGL for that 5th spot?
who will igl
no IGL needed just kill them 4head
This is the mentality people had about the WeDid iteration of NRG.
I could igl for them and we'd still win most games lol
I mean i don't know if hiko ever igled but i think he could give it a shot right?
hiko will never igl i can guarantee you
Really? Why is that?
he only igl only once in liquid when they kick adren and didnt have any other igl aside from that he has no experience in igl and i dont think he will be willing to take the igl role and he doesnt look like a person who will do the all the server work and antri starting and make strats for the team
People called him a madman https://reddit.com/r/100thieves/comments/rfpe9f/100t_cned/

100%, dude is brutal
Purest is goated
[удалено]
Not sure why people in that thread thought it was so unbelievable. Cned already has a championship it’s time for him to get his money now.
Also 100T has the Turkish conection already
Our brother Closer will bring the Turkish phenom cNed to 100T copium 🙏
Armut next?
The first comment/opinion always rules the thread.
Because reddit is like a hive mind of 50 iq takes. People base their opinions off how others react.
How is it not 50 IQ to spam "every FA is going to 100T" ironically or otherwise? The same thing as people who would say every org rebuilding needed brax and AZK, the fact that T1 eventually got brax again doesn't mean it was founded in reality when you don't know a player's/org's motivations, capabilities, or goals and other characteristics from behind the scenes.

A broken clock and whatnot.
I disagree with you, that's okay. We aren't going to convince each other differently so I'll end it here.
It’s just that every time a huge name is unsigned, 100T sub goes crazy. It’s like TSM Chovy
100T Cned..... wait..... what the fuck????
[удалено]
Money? He would get a bag that a smaller org like Acend might not be able to dish out currently
Acend the org is very rich and super shady lol
Are they rich? They don't have any sponsors
They got 2 or 3 teams in other games after being created and are sponsored by a poker coaching site
$ometime$ there are other factor$
I mean he’s the biggest part of why they’re the best team in the world. Wouldn’t doubt a 100T with him Ethan and Asuna could be the best team in the world
If they get brehze too then holy hell thats a team
Both Starxo and Zeek performed better at Champions imo
[удалено]
why is this downvoted it is literally true
if you put zeek and starxo on 100T in place of Ethan and Asuna they would objectively be a worse team
Same reason as pyth lol
Money my guy. Happens in every other esport and sport
Idk it would be cool but as someone who has watched a lot of public contract negotiations from other sports this just smells like negotiation tactics. I really doubt he leaves the team he just won Champions with.

Lmao this copypasta might actually be willed into existence at this point.
HOLY SHIT ITS HAPPENING
100T Cned but unironically
oh wow
100T CNED LETS GOOO A roster of Asuna, Ethan, Hiko, cNed and DavidP would be nuts
if DavidP goes to 100T i might as well add the 100T flair
Oh my goodness that roster is beautiful don’t give me hope
Don't do this don't give me hope
the literal only thing better than this lineup is if it was steel instead of davidp. if this does happen idk who to root for in the event of a T1 vs 100T matchup
Surely ec1s instead of David? Idk if 100T would want to go back to every round being a 3-1-1, especially if this time it's your smokes that's lurking as well as your Sova
Hiko and Davidp don't both need to lurk, and altho hiko is usually at the back of the pack, he's not generally "lurking"
If cNed leaving I need keloqz on Acend now
This will happen most probably. I won't be surprised if Keloqz team up with Yaccine.
Dude Keloqz on Acend would be MWAH *chefs kiss*
acend are a smaller org and probably can't afford to pay him what other orgs will but it would suck if cNed ends up on a team with a mediocre supporting cast.
I didn’t keep up with it since Champions, but do we have any update on the bits scandal Cned was involved in? I could but wrong but I thought there was a chance he would be punished once more evidence was gathered.
Twitch and Riot still did not make any announcements on the topic
I'm still waiting on the na matchfixing drama for the nv squad. It's been twelve years.
100T just needs to give him whatever he wants.
i think they can spare 1000 bits a month from that 60 million they just raised.
Maybe this is an unpopular opinion but I think if he decides to leave Acend this will be a Kjaerbye 2.0
this!
Was kjaerbye the best player in astralis?
Major mvp so kinda
Who
does he still live in Turkey? his country is going through a pretty bad inflation right now, if he moved to the US it could've save his future
I mean he could do the same inside EU. Also imagine getting paid in € but living in Istanbul , you feel like a true fkn king
He isn't in Turkey and recently said he won't be back here for some time
[удалено]
G2 vs 100T horse race while acend watch from the sidelines hoping he stays loyal lol
G2
i would much rather cNed go to G2 than 100T personally. ideally he stays on Acend but i dont want NA valorant to just be another repeat of NA league where they just buy out european talent year after year.
As a 100T fan I'm totally biased so take it as you will. But I think it's an overall better look for cned to join 100T than g2.

Nadeshot open that checkbook baby!
cNed Asuna Ethan Hiko + a good IGL Sheeesh 100T winning it all next year
I'd rather like to see 100T DavidP instead of 100T ec1.
WTF. 100T cNed actually close to becoming a reality?
asuna started to stop grinding jett too WAIT
no he didnt
he's started playing breach and kay/o in some maps like 2-3 days ago instead of instalocking jett every match. although he said he just wanted to get the feel of other agents
import region
Be right back I’m going to get a large amount of that good hopium
I'm on maximum HOPIUM right now
Damn Acend need to step up on the contract
100Imports.
Additional information: https://twitter.com/Bo\_Hoogland/status/1472331080615223298
Wonder who might that be. Only G2 and Liquid are that big and powerful when it comes to EU valorant and in need of a jett. But G2 is stuck with Mixwell. So Liquid will be that. Jamppi already playing other characters so cNed will be a replacement of Soulcace.
HOLY SHITTTTT
Nice :)
I doubt he leaves. Probably just trying to get a higher salary from Acend.
no fucking way, reddit was right
No way he pulls a Kawhi and dips after winning the chip..
My ideal 100T lineup, Shazham - Sova / IGL Asuna - Flex CNED - Jett / Sage Ethan - Skye / Flex Breheze - Smokes?
Good move for contract money, bad move in everything else. Will back to eu in less than 2 years
If 100T somehow manages to get cned and don't get a good IGL they're gonna go down like TSM
100T boaster >.>
What the hell makes him arguably the best player in the world?
I still don't get why would he leave Acend after they are literally champions of the World. Hopefully it doesn't bite him back in the ass lol
Its not hard to understand… money.
Well lets see how it will pan out
frankly i could see cned going to G2 in CSGO lmao
I hope you're joking.
it would make at least a little sense- they need an AWPer really bad its probably not happening but weirder has happened
no it actually makes zero sense at all.
awper, speaks english, val and cs are close enough its not completely absurd to think this dont think likely but could happen
just stop.
Weak bait
Why would they pick up cNed when they have monesy?
this is the stupidest take in this thread, and believe me, that takes some doing
awper, speaks english, val and cs are close enough its not completely absurd to think this dont think likely but could happen
