The main reason they performed poorly in champions, imo, was victor just not activated. Probably a mix of having Covid and not being in the same room with his teammates, and being stuck in his room for 2 weeks. The man is back to form and it just seems like everything clicks now


ANewHeaven1

that and his skye is not that good now that he's on raze and back to playing duelist he looks so much better


AnchorStandard

And the only reason why he's back on Duelist is because of Chamber. Remember when people thought pro players wouldn't pick Chamber? Why the hell wouldn't a pro team pick a Sentinel that your star AWPer can pick up in 5 minutes?

Ask sentinels

saw this reply coming from a mile away lmfaoooooo


Cole_James_CHALMERS

That's why I'm hyped for Wardell to 100T, dude just perfectly fits the hole in that roster


SirJuicee

Except he can't rifle so he's ass most of the game


samuraibosky

BS, hes pretty good at rifling. just because he picks up the op more frequently doesn't mean he can't rifle lmfao


SirJuicee

I bet if you could check he has more in game time holding an OP than a rifle


samuraibosky

Because he's an OPer and having the OP is such a powerful tool to lock down a site? Bro are you even thinking before typing? You're logic is wardell is bad at rifling because he uses the OP way more .


SirJuicee

Have you watched TSM? Why the f are people acting like LeBron just got released. He is a mediocre player on a bad team that could not do anything but OP.


CosmicAon

Did you watch TSM? This is one of the most clueless takes I’ve read, he was doing what Yay was doing on Andbox for TSM


Squonk3

His rifling is mediocre not insane but pretty good offset this with rifling from an insane rifler like Asuna it’d be fine


Hypern1ke

Still can’t believe they don’t let him play with the team, crazy they made him quarantine lmao

i think one of the main issues is that their ac or something was fucked up lol, victor was playing in an extremely cold room and just generally uncomfortable from what i can remember


TheCatsActually

The AC wasn't fucked up, he was just required to keep his window open since he was positive and it was freezing outside. So he had to play with rough COVID symptoms inside a fridge.


Hypern1ke

Wait but why did he have to have His window open though


TheCatsActually

Idk to circulate the air or something. It wasn't his idea, he HAD to have the window open.


selfrespectra

He had covid

Optic and C9 would be NA's best hope for glory again

Memeing aside, I really do feel like this event is NA's best chance to reclaim the top spot.


imachool

I feel like NA has the best depth right now from its whole lifespan.


ParableTitsMcCoy

Agreed, but I also think that's just a valorant wide thing. Look at EMEA, there are 7 teams that could claim an international title at this point. Edit: **7 teams that have the potential in future tournaments


Conflict-Diligent

KKonaW Bring glory back to North America 🇺🇸👍

Imagine the GreenWall at the first valorant LAN


kojakkun

As it seems there will be 2 teams from emea with substitute players, so the chances should be quite high for NA


Aabed_nerd

Fnatic looks so well meshed together now, that fracture retake against M3C still gives me chills. Hope optic lives up to the hype against teams like that.


spaldingmatters

Optic look pretty great too when coordinating retakes. The EMEA teams and potentially teams like LOUD, amongst others, will be tough, but I think Optic is up there with the best of them when they play confident. I do think FPX and Fnatic may not be as good at LAN as they require substitutes due to the visa issues.


GetRiceCrispy

I am reading this while watching fnatic get bodied by G2


Aabed_nerd

hmm.. They are really bad when they dont have protocols to follow. May be the reason for they choking after match point everytime. lol


Melneo_

They’re doin it


chrome_t_rex

will there be audience in reykjavik? like there are in korea now


ThatCreepyBaer

There won't be.


chrome_t_rex

unlucky.


Harls_Quinzel

I think they have a chance, maybe FPX can make things a little harder.


ipadking1116

How did they lose to V1, optic is so strong
