How A Bunch Of Ranked Streamers Are DOMINATING The Pros!

[@KingCarrot]

Also fun to note how they don't have any one person who carries. Thru their matches u could see any one of them carrying at the top of the scoreboard, including no matter their position or if they're the IGL. Simply having 5 players who all can reliably carry because they've legit practiced that for thousands of hours feels like itd lead to super consistent success

[@seacurs3572]

Adding onto this, radiant level aim and top 10 radiant level aim are 2 completely different things. Where most teams have 1 or 2 players like this they have 5. And as someone whos also played with or against all of them this team is basically just unbeatable without solid T1 coaching and practice. They'd 100% be able to play at the highest level as long as nerves dont come into play.

[@satviksharma7243]

​​@@seacurs3572do you ever feel like reporting some of them when you're tilted lol

I also think it’s because Valorant is still such a new game. Tier 1 is still developing and the majority of players are nowhere near the skill ceiling. Compared to a game like League for example, where all 5 players on many teams are essentially at the pinnacle of the game

[@KingCarrot]

@@kaia0004 tbf tmv did touch on how most pros have to flex onto agents that they may not be completely comfortable with; the agents in val elevate the skill ceiling a lot just by existing It does make me wonder how much further teams who aren't at the very top could go if they maximized their players' familiarity with agents while sacrificing their comp theory a little, maybe by putting players on similar agents across the map pool, or by allowing their players to play more ranked or by hiring a reserve roster like 2023 EG to maximize practice

I watch eggster all the time the comment section is actually crazy on his videos example "I was heading back home from my vacation in New York when my plane was hijacked. Two gunman took the plane hostage, killed the pilots, and took control of the cockpit. Terrified for my life, I looked around when out of the corner of my eye I saw a glint of blue light fly past the window. Suddenly, I was blinded and heard three shotgun blasts go off. When my vision cleared, standing over the bodies was Eggsterr. I was about to thank him when he suddenly said “You’re not tier 3 subs..” and disappeared in a flash of blue. I was confused until I saw the tower we were approaching get closer and realized… there was no one left to fly the plane"

Insane info that TMV didn't mention, In the 13 series Rankers played in Stage 3, their map record was 26 - 3. Not only did they win Stage 3, they won almost 90% of their maps and didn't lose a single series, only dropping 3 out of their 29 maps played.

[@PluMelody]

For anyone wondering what those were: A 14 - 16 loss to Nightblood on Bind, which they then came back to win the next two maps both 13 - 5 A 7 - 13 loss to Blue Otter on Haven, then coming back and winning Ascent 16 - 14 and Sunset 13 - 7 And then after a 13 - 5 win on Sunset, they had a 8 - 13 loss to YFP in the second map. They then closed the series on Split with a fucking 13 - 2. Most maps were not close, their round count was 370 - 200, going +170 in round count

[@TheWaffleGerbil]

the thing is that eggster is quite possibly (no glaze) the best yoru player on earth, cane and nightz will be the next big tier 1 talents, and all but 1 of the team members have been NA radiant rank 1 at some point. these tier 2 teams should really be scratching their heads as to why they don’t look at ranked demons more as possible recruits lol, the stigma against ranked needs to go

[@lucifermorningstar8387]

The thing is more about confidence. When you put ranked demons in an environment they aren’t used to, they’ll crumble more times than they will thrive. The pressure that comes with fan expectations and yourself can be brutal

[@seacurs3572]

@@TheWaffleGerbil real but picking up ranked players seems to scare bigger orgs because they havnt "proved" themselves in like a league or something, but all tiers below T1 is just glorified ranked with set plays.

You can make all the calls you want but if you cant shoot heads as well as the other team you will lose.

[@funkycrawler619]

One thing I found interesting from a commentor was how they get value out of the Clove. Obviously Clove was designed for ranked, but I think all agents having some niche in pro-play shows that the game is in a healthy state. They obviously had VERY well thought out ideas of how to maximize the value of Clove (where I think EDG was maybe the only other team who really comes close to). I hope this shows other teams that experimenting and PRACTICING other agents can be very helpful

It’s kinda crazy that this is so far the team I watched the most in the offseason over tier 1 teams lol

[@lucasmitchell9027]

Maybe with the new changes to the map rotation, pro players will instead now focus more on mastering agents instead of maps. And honestly it might be either extremely fun or extremely boring. Like, imagine seeing some pros who are really good at specific agents like Yoru or Omen playing them on every map and showing techs that would otherwise would never be used cause "It's a Jett/Viper map" But at the same times it might get stale because Pros will just take the most versatile agent and play only that, so maybe all duelist mains will be playing exclusively Raze, or all initiator main will play exclusively Kay/o or Sova. While map dependant characters (like Breach, Chamber, Vyse, Gekko, Harbor, etc.) will fade out of the meta because they aren't worth mastering (Imagine maining Breach with Breeze and Ascent in rotation with no Haven or Fracture).

[@firework8140]

If they can somehow make it to tier one Id be hyped. Similar to PRX W gaming style, it can shake up the pro scene. Imo, this represents how majority of us play the game. You dont get to scrim your opponent in a ranked game before, you dont get perfect teams when you solo qeue ( even full stack ). Thats why harbour is good in pro but not in ranked and reyna is good ranked but not pro

You keep saying "aim", but it's really the whole kit and how the whole agent plays. Knowing how to play Yoru in pro is completely different to being a literal one trick Yoru who knows the ins and outs of the agent. Same as Inspire/BabyJ with Cypher. He's got ALOT of niche techs with Cypher that I doubt even pro players who flex into it do. The whole point is that they're so good at their individual respecting agents that as a team they beat teams that are TRYING to play like pros (good macros, strats, etc) but aren't mature/good enough thay they can beat people who simply out mechanic them. Yes it might work in Challengers (which is basically a glorified Ranked tournament), but in a playing field like T1 and even T2 where people KNOW what you're gonna play, and you're exposed to the same teams and tactics over and over, being inflexible and predictable is a recipe to getting counter stratted.
