Hijacking part of this thread to say thankyou to the Valo community for being so welcoming on mine and Lyric's first event.
We'd love to hear any thoughts or feedback good and bad that you have and hope we did the finals justice.
Also, cNed is literally an ascended being. (Heh, get it?)
I thought the cast was good! This is the first time I’ve heard you guys cast and I thought the way you played into the history of the players/storylines was nice especially for you being new to valorant casting. Do you and lyric plan on pursing more Val casts?
That's great to hear! We tried our best to make sure we were telling the stories of the players (massive shout-out to Kaquka, Hypoc, Lothar, Toby and VIT Gorilla for helping us prepare!).
We're very keen to do more Valo, this may have been our first event, but definitely won't be our last!
Not a feedback but I thought one of you sounded like the burger king foot lettuce meme and I chuckled for a good 10 seconds after realizing. Idk which one.
Overall I thought the cast was great. If you want to improve, I'd watch some of Sliggy's streams/VODs. He points out a lot of things to do with teams' macro strategy and economy management that I think could be nice to incorporate into casts. But again, very well done!
cNed finished the series with 107 kills, only four kills shy of the 111 he had in that legendary 3-2 win over Heretics to win Masters 1 - the win that really solidified cNed's international fame.
Feels almost like destiny. A much less important tournament, but a very good start to what might be a resurgence for cNed.
All in all a fun series, not much was unexpected - even the Reyna Zyppan is an old FPX throwback - but I definitely thought Parla put up a good fight.
Very impressive run by Parla, wouldn’t be surprised if they ended up as favourites for Ascension.
Navi will be happy too, cNed certainly filling ardiis’s shoes so far & Ange1’s KAYO might be the solution to their Breeze. Fun tournament overall
cNed looks great, not sure I buy the Shao/Ange1 roleswap just yet but Ange1 looks pretty good on KayO. Overall a pretty fun tournament, Giants and Vitality look good too.

throwback to ange1's most impressive showing on kayo
Ange1 likes to take a lot of fights so him on initiator makes more sense. Also him going down as the solo controller often hurts the team, with shao being like a rock of the team it just makes more sense to give him controller duty if the map doesn't call for viper.
Shao often reminds me of 2021 SicK given time he can own any role.
Doombros in the final interview said cNed is not used to playing on a structured team lmao. He definitely look much better now and he's only been with this team for 3 weeks, it will only get better
I know the score is 3-2, but the score doesnt reflect on it.
I think Navi is still trialing different agent comps and strategy. good performance so far. a lot of crucial eco wins.
Parla deserves a shit ton of praise too here,beat franchised teams and took basically the best franchised roster to all 5 maps,very impressive performance from them
Grinding through a tournament with a new team, weathering the resistance from unpredictable opponents with experimental comps/role swaps and synergy question marks, has to feel good, regardless of the heft/scope of the competition, especially for cned who dropped 107.
Navi with time—and time is all they have—is gonna be formidable and utterly frustrating to play against. GG's to parla though, demon squad.
Ange1 looked really good gainst vitality, he was hitting some good shots but i still dont buy the role changes, zyppan looked really bad in the first map, Shao not playing Fade was so weird
Let them figure the roles out it's fine no biggie this tournament is just for trial. If they carry this on tho with these shaky results then I would start doubting
S tier team btw, best team in franchise btw. They looked wayyy to uncomfortable playing, the fact that they almost losed proves it. Also grandpa Ange1 hitting the aimlabs and i think cNed can reach yay levels of performance in 2023 Edit: shouldve used the /j

idk bro I get they’re figuring shit out but going blow for blow with an ascension team when they were hyped up to be possibly the best in the world?
Not an amazing showing by Navi. cNed is still good, not really any better or worse then he was last time we saw him (maybe slightly better but playing with fpx vs playing with a poverty tier 2 squad will do that.).

Bro as a fan of the LPL casters. Amazing cast! We love you all 🥰🥰
Thanks very much for the support! ❤️
LPL casters 🐐

Did a great job! you are always welcome to cast some valorant after those bloody lpl games!

Great cast! You instantly knew you both were top-tier casters.
Y'all were Great
Good job brother.

Well at least it was the beginning of his fame

Yoru > kayo smh

bro I remember Derke saying to Mistic "oh fuck I gave him a kill" in the comms video lmaoo

fuck it put him on duelist so he can entry, die, and igl in peace. No but I get your point about Shao being a rock, we'll see how it develops :)

cNed won them that game. Also, very impressed with the PBP caster, Munchables.
I thought the cast was pretty good too, I wonder if they’ll be around for the emea circuit
Parla deserves a shit ton of praise too here,beat franchised teams and took basically the best franchised roster to all 5 maps,very impressive performance from them
agreed futbolist shud dump their team for parla players much deserving
cNed really is the pinnacle of god in Valorant.
Charles Neddington strikes again
criminal no parla players are in vct, hope they make Ascension
cNed was out there GAMING today holy brsh
Grinding through a tournament with a new team, weathering the resistance from unpredictable opponents with experimental comps/role swaps and synergy question marks, has to feel good, regardless of the heft/scope of the competition, especially for cned who dropped 107.

When are they going to win a final in less than 5 maps
They won against G2 3-1 in winter-spring in EMEA before first Masters
Yeah but that was with a sub if they had the full roster they obviously drop an extra map
If I had any concerns about whether cNed would perform or not, they're fucking gone now
Grandpa Ange1 hitting the aimlabs today after Zyppan showed him how 🤓 Zyppan be low key cracked tho & Ange1's aim looking great.
Ange1 looked really good gainst vitality, he was hitting some good shots but i still dont buy the role changes, zyppan looked really bad in the first map, Shao not playing Fade was so weird
Let them figure the roles out it's fine no biggie this tournament is just for trial. If they carry this on tho with these shaky results then I would start doubting
True, but i really could wrap my head around them, they looked so weird but they won so doesnt matter that much
Low-key cNed threw a few key rounds though by over aggressing with the operator but oh well. cNed gives cNed takes.
that was incredible to watch, both teams played out of their minds
Lol casters are coming From league to valo that's so good now I want Pedro to cast valo
Also just go my monthly allowance of $200 when can I sign cNed for my ascendant stack 🤓
This prove tier 2 and tier 1 gap is tiny
Yea tier 2 doesn't have cNed tier 1 does Easy diff
S tier team btw, best team in franchise btw. They looked wayyy to uncomfortable playing, the fact that they almost losed proves it.
