MASSIVE UPSETS in the VCT! - Plat Chat VALORANT Ep. 174

[@mckinleyostvig7135]

Unmedicated Bren hosting is truly magical.

[@Y0UHA]

Some Thoughts about the Bleed & Legija Situation: As many probably know, Lejija used to be a CS pro player. He played a big part of his career with and under an IGL called gob_b. They founded a team called BIG together, which was for a long time known as one of the most structured teams and slow teams. This might explain their hesitancy and slow decisionmaking, as well as him calling a timeout for seemingly no reason, just because the match plan wasn't followed exactly. What i don't understand tho, is the lack of team coherency and their inability to play around a star player (yay?). BIG used to be world famous for their executes, utility and teamplay. They also used to have a player called Xantares who was their absolute star player, and they managed to build the perfect system around him, to make him shine, so i don't really understand why it's not possible here. TLDR: Legija's weaknesses can kinda be explained by his past in CSGO, but his strengths don't really seem present in Bleed.

[@SgtGatorade]

I’ve only known about Legija this year, and only seen his stuff from this year, so what I’m about to say is extremely biased and based off probably the worst, least consistent part of his career. I legit have no confidence when I hear him talk. I loved watching yay with optic, became a fan of the game in 2022, and am a diehard paper boy. When legija was saying zest and retla were the answer and he was feeling confident, my confidence literally dropped. It sounded like he was just regurgitating what the fans wanted to hear, and then they lost terribly. Running solo harbor. No other coach, not even alecks, has ever trusted a solo harbor comp, at least not in vct. I feel like Legija doesn’t have great ideas, and when the ideas were proven to be terrible he just went standard.

[@vinsmokesanji6280]

Xantares is an aggressive peeker from what I remembered. Yay is extremely passive and calculated when taking his duels.

[@real3744]

Keep sliggy please!

[@BeYN-Habin]

Addition:they need true igl instead of bait igl speak thai only🐸

[@dest1n1es46]

Simple Xantares literally invented Xantares peek. The man who could just swing boom get 2 kills and open site. It's basically the Paper Rex style but just Xantares. Bleed has NO ONE that can do that.

I agree with Bren that GenG sorta threw Icebox, BUT, PRX threw Lotus first so..... null argument i guess

[@ishantD]

It doesn't matter though everything will matters when they will face each other on finals again coz I don't think geng played like just how they played against them in kick off finals and in madrid every player is not up to the mark

[@oooh6997]

@@ishantD The same argument could be made for prx, d4v4i and jinggg didnt really stood up, and i think it has to do with how little prep time they got with jinggg

[@anubhavmittal882]

Geng threw hard bcz that draft is highly defensive so if u don't get minimum 8 on defense you are probably doomed and on attack it is good for 5v5 retakes but prx won't let u enter site with 5 man considering their playstyle🤷‍♂️

[@salsasalsa943]

​@anubhavmittal882 but they did get 8 on defense..

[@DonnyDonnMendoza]

Achilios being cut off yet again is hilarious 😂

[@xlolgaming3726]

I don't know but what ever they say, always the opposite happens. They said c9 is super team, they choked. They said eg is a clown team, they were champions. They mocked KRU, they won LCQ. They didn't belive sen will win masters, they said Lev will explode, they are right the most strongest team in America's

Why is it always "it took Aspas heroics for LEV to win" and never "it took John QT heroics to keep the loss close" 🤔🤔🤔 Seems like a double standard TBH.

[@cordofwood6569]

Bro Aspas dropped 47 kills JohnQT may have had some clutch rounds but Aspas was incredible that entire map

[@Virtuoso-wz5lq]

Because aspas was way more wdym lol!

[@westhefitting4105]

@@cordofwood6569 Aspas was on 30 in round 22. John Qt doesn't start getting insane 4k clutches and Aspas is still 10 away from the kill record and well within an expected Aspas performance.

[@westhefitting4105]

Aspas would have been well within an expected Aspas map at like 30 kills if JohnnQT didnt get an ace clutch in round 21. 13-8 nobody's saying LEV barely beat Sen even with Aspas breaking the kill record.
