Sending my regards to Wyatt, I absolutely love his energy and I miss listening to his Whimsey on the podcast. Wish you a speedy recovery man

[@deadsippy]

been watching plat chat since master's reykjavik 2021 (the first watch party i've seen) and i've followed every plat chat member since, a huge source of my serotonin. you guys are so uniquely funny, especially wyatt. my heart sank when i read the first sentence of your tweet describing the accident, but i'm so glad you're doing well again. get well soon, Dr. Valorant ❤

THANK YOU MEL FOR MENTIONING TENZ RETAKING WITH THE OP. So many doomium NA scoreboard Stevens dunking all over Tenz's KD and im sitting here like "hello am I the only Sentinels fan who watched the game??"

[@343JustMe]

Fr, Sen fans are absolute idiots who can't analyse games. Like just pay attention to a few rounds and you'll be able to tell what their issues are but all they can say is "tenz is the problem"

Wyatt we need you! What a horribly scary thing to happen Miss you on the show. Hope you’re up and about real soon. :)

[@SlamDunc_an]

Great episode. Loved hearing the insight into V1 from meL. Honestly, I believe the hype. Florescent might be the first GC player to make it to VCT

[@burni988]

I'm so hyped and by the sounds of things if mel is correct, it may not be long to see this kind of thing. I can't wait.

[@mckinleyostvig7135]

My theory is that Sentinels wanted to drop Depph but Sykko was blocking that. The reason we don't see that move happening now is that TenZ is sick but they already set into motion the coaching change.

[@Ghost351963]

Wrong Theory

[@nazimmustafa8760]

Hope you recover well Wyatt, can’t wait to see you back and at it!

[@123rtXd]

wishing you the best wyatt one of my favorite content creators and just a lovely guy

[@Christian-vq3lr]

Never doubt meL again

[@musculusiv4172]

I hard agree with Mimi about Power Rankings. Power Rankings should be defined as "who is the best team going into next week" not "who was the best team last week". Otherwise the rankings are just last weeks results, there's no point in doing rankings like that, they should be inherently predictive

[@Green-Man]

Loved meL on the podcast giving a fresh take on game changers and the scene as a whole. Wish all the best for Wyatt.

[@KingDanOfBarr]

Hopefully Bren and Wyatt get well soon! Also we need more Mel on this pod! Her perspective is so interesting and insightful.

[@laefty666]

Love mel on this episode. Would love to see more of her and sliggy!

[@philipdawson7800]

I'm sorry, I know it showed up many times, but I just happened to pause at 1:48:20 & to see, a year later, the agent picks from Sentinels in this series is absolutely maddening. Like, Zekken on Sova?? TenZ on Sage?? Sacy on smokes?? Pancada on Killjoy?? WTF were they doing a year ago, man?? No wonder they're kicking ass this year, they got their heads out of their asses & got everyone to play agents that suit them well.

[@shanemon13]

This aged well

[@roidavidfrancisco2793]

Mimi is right, LOUD never loses to other Brazilian teams. They've dominated their region ever since their inception, I think last week's power ranking is a brain fart.

[@mng7872]

Wishing Wyatt a speedy recovery!

[@rambujam]

Sending love and good vibes Wyatt ❤

[@zephyrod7307]

Ok I really really want to hear more from MeL about GC. Because the angle that orgs hold on too tightly to GC players preventing them from reaching higher level co-ed is something I’d think not many people have at the forefront of their mind. It shows a whole new level of problems presented by a person that really wants to compete at a high level. It’s really valuable insight, and definitely discussions that should reach up to Riot

[@343JustMe]

I rlly hate how Sen vetos away the opponents'good maps instead of just focusing on avoiding their own poor maps. Sen wouldve had a way better chance at winning against Lev if they had banned pearl.

[@justsomedude168]

Just waiting for the pacific power rankings. I just wanna know how they rank the middle pack coz i have no clue myself. They couldnhave done that rather than another americas or emea power ranking imo. I am curious in their opinions right now considering the pacific teams are not exactly performing exactly as we predicted maybe except drx and dfm

[@serenalaurence1492]

the phrase "they beat NRG" has ruined everyone's tier lists lmaooo

[@musculusiv4172]

I hope so much that VX will play Gozen at GC Champions. I want to see Mary match up vs Flore that's going to be insane!

[@343JustMe]

We need more Mel man i wish she was a recurring guest or maybe stream a bit, rare that you find ppl insightful like her

[@jaxoff22]

mimi with those damn poker chips it’s all i hear when she talks lmaoooo

[@slj1537]

I am of the opinion that C9 would never as cordinated as they do now with vanity and yay on the roster. It felt like the old C9 roster felt like Vanity and friends team rather than a cordinated roster. C9 saw yay with rather than putting him in a team that work around him they tried to implement him into an existing system which would have never worked. Yay is a player who prefers to hold sights down and have his team give him information so he can make the plays. I think that playstyle would never had fit with the other C9 players on the roster even if Vanity were removed. I think Runi brings a much more sense of calmness to the team that they much needed and with zelsis being their "emotional leader" of the team it really balances the team out. I would argue that this C9 roster is way more cordinated than what we saw of the C9 roster with vanity and yay, but that might be a hot take.

[@G00seLord]

get well soon wyatt

[@yufuyoshimura5426]

Interested to see how well SEN can counter Loud with two former LOUD players.

[@dysteiq]

Can't spell Wyatt without a huge W. I hope he gets better soon, wishing him the best.

[@musculusiv4172]

Wow I just saw the breaking news and honestly I think KC will be better. Maybe still not good, but I think a new igl and Scream being able to focus on what he does best can only help this team

[@OllieBR]

Get well soon, Wyatt!

[@musculusiv4172]

Probably Scream would be great to have as team captain but not as IGL

[@cartoonhero8845]

Sideshow is on his Charles Bronson arc.

[@Deltaflamesx]

I think you guys should have topic for challengers league NA It popping

[@HaydenDom]

maybe it’s a problem that so many agents are meta across so many different maps, it seems like it hurts pro team consistency and lowers the level of competition

[@jomariong7882]

Teams just need to adapt then, get players who are more flexible instead of getting one tricks who are only good at like jett or something

[@shizukuhajime2392]

@@jomariong7882 yeah like fnatic they use a different comp for every map because their players are flexible

Whats stopping them from just making a team and going thru challengers ??

They try to but they're horrible so they get knocked out by T3 pugstacks.

North brazil is doing kinda bad in the franchises for a region who bragged that having "only" 5 spots was unfair

IKR it's hilarious how after Na saying they needed more spots their super teams might not even make it to top 4

Calm down Jose, it's week 4

[@serenalaurence1492]

3:18:16 NRG is the saddest team bc they get 'upset' everytime they play a team

[@topfights411]

Best wishes for Wyatt and his recover! Just wanted to maybe bring up a point that brings some red flags for me looking at Sen and their situation. So they kick syyko and no one understands why yet we question the “macro”, “how does the kj and sova both rotate and leave Tenz to op a line”. Isn’t that’s igl call?? Why is it these bad plays that are happening not Dephh being called out?

[@MuddyPuddle]

Am I crazy? For the longest time I thought Syyko was spelt Sykko... I was wondering why no-one pronounced it like "sicko", but I guess it makes sense now. My whole life has been a lie.

[@koeyy]

Get well bren and wyatt! Great discussion with Mel. From Riot's page: "We want Game Changers to become the stepping stone that pushes more women to compete within the International and Challenger Leagues." Honestly I don't know how solvable it is but it's good that elite players like Mel are being considered, which is really the whole point.

[@leonrabello635]

@@343JustMe SA teams are always underestimated. Even Furia, that was the only team close to take a map from Fnatic, and didn’t get stomped by them, in lock in, besides Loud, you guys still considered them as a worst team then Sen and 100t, that literally got stomped. I agree that is too early to consider mibr a top contender but at least people should give the credit for their win to them, and not say “oh nrg was in a bad day.”

[@343JustMe]

@@leonrabello635 I'm not taking away any credit from mine but everyone knows that NRG are a team that beat them 7/10 times. SA are great and right now furia is definitely better than Sen and 100t and loud are a tier beyond everyone in Americas. I agree SA are doing great but then again theyre all playing with practically the same team from before franchising with minimal changes (other than loud which is ironic). Na also don't exactly have a lot of their best players in franchising. I mean spots are being taken up by ppl like boostio and dephh for god's sake, it's crazy

[@leonrabello635]

Yeah, zekken, sacy, pancada, marved seems a pretty scary core, but dephh... it looks like he always loses on the igl battles and aim duels. About NRG, feel like they are getting worst, it can be just a fase, but like they did with Furia above Loud last power rank, i was expecting the same thing.
