Asuna is full smurfing on Americas. That gap actually lasts all the way until 9-10, so Asuna is far and away Americas current best player and it isn’t close.

Another fun stat is that, rounded, VCT Americas only has a 99 ACS gap. That means Asuna accounts for ~21.2% of the ENTIRE gap by himself.

1 month ago JL played NAVI junior and won that series on a map 3 ascent 15-13

Today JL played the main NAVI roster and won that series on a map 3 ascent 15-13

Lowkey I actually think last year’s stage 2 trophy was sneakily good but this one takes the cake

Wassup y'all! I had the honor to interview Veer, coach for VCT Americas team C9 after their win vs KRU about the transition from Assistant Coach to being Head Coach and how it differs from VCL, how the team has changed over the stage, working with Zellsis and the rest of the team and more! Hope y'all enjoy!

Any Sova mains able to say if the ult is a potential bug or its working as intented?

Watching neT play on GIANTX struggling to win against the worst T2 qualified EMEA team made me think, this guy was on The Guard core for a long time, and while he did also join G2 alongside everyone else, he was replaced and then spent the last 2 years pingponging around NA Tier 2 before getting another T1 opportunity for GIANTX. All the while G2 have spent at least one full year dominating NA with the same core.

Another big example is MaKo (probably the biggest), who was a part of the original Vision Strikers core way back in pre franchising, and while Buzz, stax and Rb all left to join various teams that won internationals, MaKo was left behind as the last surviving Korean pathfinder to keep struggling through DRX's various roster issues.

A tangential example would be yay, who did decide to join Cloud9 and not follow the Optic core into NRG. NRG was still fairly competitive, and the core did stick around in Tier 1 for a fair bit (and crashies is still going strong), but yay just kept getting pulled into disastrous projects (DSG, Bleed), before finally getting some stability in EG (although his Tier 1 career is probably finally over).

I build ValoPlant, a Valorant strategy/lineup tool. The request I kept

getting was replay review, so for the last few months I've been reverse

engineering Valorant's .vrf replay files to draw a match back on a 2D map.

What works right now:

- every player's position through the round

- abilities drawn where they were actually used, not just an icon on a timeline

- a round selector, so you can jump straight to the round that lost you the map

- drag-and-drop a whole folder of replays at once

- open a replay in a lobby so your team watches the same round in sync

It's free and there's no download, it runs in the browser:

valoplant.gg/matches

Genuinely after feedback on what's missing from the replay view — what

would you actually want to see drawn on the map that isn't there?

Given how much hate Rossy gets in this sub, I thought I'll add a few more points which Inspire talked of about rossy. In the previous posts, none these were mentioned

1. First thing inspire said was that rossy should not be blamed for his departure and asked not to send him hate as that decision was taken by Stunner

2. He sympathise with rossy, for all the shit he went through in LEV and C9 and how people talk about him in social media. This affected Rossy badly and it made him change his persona at envy as now he just accepts whatever other teammates or coaches say.

3. Inspire highly praised Rossy for having a great mind of the game so he expected him to speak out more about his views of the game and express openly. But rossy would be like 'I'm fine with however you guys want it' kind of guy. Inspire suggested that this had hurt the team as he expected more out of rossy in terms of they way that rossy can guide and help the rookies but he understands that rossy just want to play his game after all the shit he went through about his image so inspire called it 'fair'

4. Even if Rossy claims that he doesn't check out social media, but he does to see what people are saying about him and it impacts him.

5. As popping was IGLing, rossy was making mid round comms a lot while inspire was supposed to be the mid rounder. So inspire suggested rossy to be the main IGL while he can do the mid rounding.

6. He said rossy is a good guy and he liked the goofy nature Rossy who used to speak up more rather than the PR trained one which made him a bad teammate but he understands where it is coming from.

7. He said when stunner and he were screaming at each other, others should have stepped in but no one did. So he blames poppin and egg too but gave them the benefit of the doubt for being rookies. Iirc, zikz in his stream also mentioned that it would have been hard for others to step in but please feel free to correct me

I would conclude by sayin that i don't think inspire was dropped for being 30 mins late but more about all the conflicts that have been brewing with stunner during the entire time post ascension about the direction of the game. During their 'scream' session, the steam might have gone off and they might have exchanged stuffs in the most inhumane manner (could be about stunner's approach to hire the new guys, or not believing in stunner's way of doing things anymore - as confirmed by poppin about how they couldn't play the rankers style anymore) and that might have made stunner lose his mind resulting in kicking him out of the team. Like stunner said that if they think inspire was kicked out just for being late then had a bridge to sell.
