Plat Chat made waves in the tournament. I heard 100 thieves is thinking of dropping their roster to build around Balla

I was so worried they missed the reveal trailer, seeing their live reactions is great

I’m surprised you didn’t put Plat Chat valorant team in the 10th slot after their recent showing in the tournament. I maybe putting too much recency bias on their showing, but I was impressed.

Thats fucking awesome how the trailer went live during recording

poggers

Boaster is just a top tier individual

Congrats for third place in tour platchat

Balla is so fucking smart he literally predicted the meta shift…

It's one of the robots that you all destroyed in the Range and it's going rogue 'cause it had enough

I hold my breath every time wyatt says "i have an idea"

Loved the video :) you guys do a great job of providing useful commentary with a lighthearted tone

Part of the reason I think Boaster went viral was because he was part of Fnatic as well since Fnatic has a lot of Chinese fans from the league audience (and the title mentioned Fnatic 战队 which doesn’t specify valorant). I recall a ton of messages telling him to come to LPL and people like Gimgoon (former world champion) commented on the playlist.

I cant help but put 100t in 10th because they destroyed sen on icebox and pushed them to a very close haven and their loss in the series seemed to stem from a comp diff resulting in very little adaptation to new strats on bind. A 100t that adapts can contend with v1 and c9 very well tbh

1:55:38 ska has said on a recent live stream (his channel) that he is the one who wants to play Astra and be the support player how true that is i dont know

I came in to this thinking you were going to sleep on V1 and C9, happy to see you didn't

So plat chat now no longer misses big news, congrats

As long as the tournament structure and the tour stays how it is, it will slowly show the strong teams from the rest. Say for the next few LAN events the team's representing a region may fluctuate, but a region keeps on placing consistently high, it indicates the quality of teams in that region and you'll slowly have the evidence of a true world power ranking. I think you guys did a fair job though for what evidence there is currently though.

My top 10: Sentinels, Fnatic, V1, FPX, Nuturn, Liquid, C9, Gambit, Acend and then GenG would be my flyer 10th.

Awesome lore breakdown 😄

T1 had SEN on the ropes the last time we saw them. They dropped dazed who was a huge issue with their pacing and bullying of Spyder, idk i feel like depending on who their 5th is they could be pretty good.

It'd be cool if he could shield flashes.. like absorb the light .. also make brimstone stim packs give 50% dr for mollys

If anyone wants to know the secret to improving your gameplay in the moment extremely quickly, here it is. In every game, every time you die, come up with an exact pinpoint reason as to why you think you died. Were you overextended and got caught out in a position that you weren't supposed to be in, did you get a kill on someone that you knew the position of then peeked being greedy and got killed by an enemy in a position you didn't know of, or maybe you didn't use your utility in a way that makes sense for your situation. 20/20 hindsight is your friend here. Then and try to Incorporate it into the following match, compounding these small changes and improvements to your gameplay constantly will begin to make habits of them and you'll get better. And yes in some cases your analysis will just be that you can't win a head on gun fight with the enemy team. Well in that case you can still use this method. Instead try playing a farther back angle to try and catch them off guard, or try to flank in order to make the gunfights easier for yourself. Rather than just dying and saying fuck to yourself and waiting for the next round to start

Platchat: Google Doc Google: how can I help you

Once again, this thumbnail is amazing

I'd give Vikings the 10 spot for the same reason Liquid keeps the 5 spot, they may fall off and I'm not confident in the future but they made it to Iceland and have had consistent domestic results in their region.

I would have loved to have seen you guys each pick your dark horse for Masters 3 as the 10th spot, have it as a little competition. That way we could see who you're backing as the next team to shoot up the power rankings, like Andbox or G2. Could even be its own mini-segment on the next show.

KAY/0 peeks mid Split and suppresses an over aggressive Reyna/Jett. Another teammate is also swinging and gets the kill because they can't dismiss/dash away.

You need to show all 4 of your individual top 10’s and then compare, but this overall top 10 among all of you guys is awesome too. You should do both

Now people will start camping near his body when he gets knocked and use it as a bait to kill allies who come to revive him.

In my opinion 100t deserves no 10 because iys the only team in NA who pushed sentinels (without meta shift) have experience, and dont forget they always get a difficult bracket. Also they dont bomb out their games are really close.

Daps leaving signals that Stanislaw will be leaving EG CSGO and joining NRG VAL

I think Andbox should go 10th because of the amount of hype behind the roster, JcStani, Vice, yay, mada, seb are all solid players that can take Berlin by storm.

awesome to see G-Eazy on the podcast 🙌

Anyone have a link to that code red tournament or whatever? I wanna watch these gods get 3rd place now.

Im putting NRG at number 10, they placed 4th in NA domestically which was the same as 100T, and I think itd be funny

I think I agree with Balla re: Zellis sanction. "Race" and "gender" are probably just by default attached to each other in all of Riot's existing rules language. I also do not make the same assumption as Sideshow that comments about someone's sexuality would be a default part of the same rules language as "race" and "gender." I'm not saying they don't have rules about that, or religion or other forms of discrimination, but it's possible that those are in amendments or sub-rules or some other part of the rule, set underneath the part about "race" and "gender" specifically. Maybe at the back of the rulebook there's a glossary where "discrimination" gets further defined to include things like sexuality, religion, etc. That would explain why "race or gender" would be in Riot's official sanction statement without Zellis having necessarily said something that is both racist AND sexist. Idk, just guessing. I have literally zero information to work off of beyond public knowledge. I also totally agree with Avast's take that tournament staff are like retail workers. Glad Riot is sticking up for their tournament staff.

I think this agent is balanced and insane at the same time if teams use it in the right way.

What if that 15 extra seconds in the ult after he was shot, was an extra 15 seconds added to the spike timer, making it harder to do the post plant meta? Edit: Alternate idea: the 15 seconds is part of a revive, where if the person that kills him is killed within 15 seconds, he gets revived. Like he's stealing there radionate as they die to live again. This way it doesn't elimate it entirely, as if you prolong the extra time effectively, you can possibly negate it. My guess there is a way to cancel it though? I'm not sure, but maybe you have to 1v1 him to be able to cancel the extra time lmao. Also feel like there'd be enough depth to it that it might be balanced or at least very complex and varying in power/use in pro play. So the ult in total disables util, then if he's killed can add time to the spike, which if defending you don't want, but then on attack you do, and if you don't want the extra time, you can 1v1 him in that extra 15 second time window and maybe there is some other advantage if you win it???? Idk at this point. Started as just a funny idea I had and spiraled more than a unicorn horn. This idea taken seriously I think has potential and could be real, but the case is so paper thin that the atoms are starting to unbind with each other.

At least T1 always qualified for challengers

surprised you guys arent that high on Nuturn after having Shaz and Dapr on your stream giving them mad props

When do they release new episodes? Schedule?

watching these agent analysis later is so funny. bren was right all along

Have to go and watch the PlatChat valo match 🕵️‍♂️🕵️‍♂️

As a geng fan i am very sad you didnt even consider them for 10th with nature added

s0m said on his stream that he's gonna IGL, but im not sure if he was joking or not

I'd put either Guild or 100T in the 10th spot. But I wouldn't be able to choose between the two.

Avast popped off

Im confused with the FPX decision as they didnt make Iceland and came 5th in the EMEA Challengers Playoffs?

Bruh how sideshow put the mic under balla after Wyatt left

If you look at what hiko said they thought bind would be their best map coming into challengers finals. It was nowhere near that, SEN actually banned icebox And picked bind. Viper and astra both got nerfed, That meta is done. Kayo will be meta and if Ethan learns kayo and steel switches to cypher on some maps. Because jetts always hurt them. 100t can do well. Their brackets are always screwed and they played SEN in quarterfinals in both masters and challengers finals. 100t was one 3v2 on pistol round away from beating SEN but were screwed by the running frenzy. And in masters one they lost map one in triple ot and SEN carried that momentum into map 2. If 100t win that map I think they have a chance on ascent and also icebox if sen won ascent. The current meta(double imitator) benefits 100t because teams can no longer run viper astra(v1 abused this) without a counter.

can we have the link to this pr maker

T1 should get dicey

I believe 100t is definitely a top 5 team. Us is staked with good teams compared to the other regions. For sure there better than c9 en nuturn

Are the VoDs for the tournament they mentioned available anywhere?

I think they slept on Faze a little, they did get kinda rekt phase 2 challengers, but the only maps they dropped in Masters 1 was to Sentinels. The 2-0'd everyone else

Y no mention of LG in roster changes

seems pretty clear to me the new character explodes when it gets downed

Next map is Paris?

number 10: guild?!

I really dont think he needs LOS for the ult i think its more of an aoe

1:15:37

who knows fpx may be gonna be the astralis in valorant XD chokers

If T1 could add someone like Tarik, that team could be spicy

I didn’t like the trailer from k o, I thought his kit revolved around time travel at first

Just a friendly reminder that FPX is currently sitting in 8th in VCT points in EMEA, soo yeah they aren't doing that great right now

So much prostate

Bds takes it Oops wrong channel

Although I love these guys, I think they missed the point of a POWER ranking. I think a power ranking should be based around teams' recent results, not speculations, or the power of the players themselves. That's why I think Acend was a bit far-stretched. I think Gambit takes 8th, then 100T, and Vikings.

Remember that they are reducing the amount of flashes on Breach and skye for act 3

Its official, nobody in plat chat understands what 'power rankings' are supposed to be LOL. Its supposed to be a teams current strength, how well they are going to do in their next match or tourney. Not giving teams credit for past successes. At least thats what i understand from meat sports

isnt ans on t1

Are we sleeping on the new Heretics roster here?

any members in the comments? modCheck

i would bds in 10

First non human agent? Cypher is human then?

Ever since t1 signed dazed their performances have went downhill

Since nobody payed attention during the release video let me clarify. KAY/O's knife GOES THROUGH WALLS. I'd assume his ult does as well. The knife hits cypher THROUGH the wall. I know you guys call yourself pepege but holy shit you cannot spot things during a trailer.

Let Wyatt speak :(

idk why nuturn gaming is sooo unrated buy they clearly deserves 3rd

What if s1mple joins navi valorant by the end of this year

kay/o is very broken

100t not top 10? HMMMMMN

This eu bias isn’t as fun to watch, would be better if it was a slightly fairer comparison

fpx back on the hype train, PepeLaugh

Wyatt: "I dont read into scrimbux." Also Wyatt: "Gambit is a top 10 team." Dude, you are literally ranking Gambit on nothing more than scrimbux. They have achieved nothing vs. major EU teams and have zero experience vs. other regions. But Zellsis and Shazham said they were good so top 10, right?

1-G2 2- FPX 3- ACEND 4- Liquid 5- Guild 6- Fnatic 7- BDS 8- Vitality 9- Excel 10- Heretics

Korea is getting badly overrated. I will be very suprised if Korea gets a single series win against either NA or EU this whole year when the NA or EU team has their real roster.

I would pit 100T in 10th just based on how close all the qualifying games they lost were
