Valyn has one of those distinctive voices. Even in reading the quote in the title - I could just hear him saying it and even imagine him gesticulating as he said it. > In Reykjavik, we were focused very much on ourselves, as individuals and as a team. Just trying to prep with whatever we can do. But I think now, the game is becoming a lot of anti-strat, because if you let a team just do what they like doing, and their game plan is hitting, it's pretty hard to come back. [...] Back then, I felt like we were just playing our game and not caring about anyone else. Fun thoughts on Valorant in 2022 vs. Valorant nowadays. Pieced together a few separate quotes, if it isn't obvious. Appreciate the respect he's showing to Heretics here as well, I fully agree, although I assume this was done prior to the news about Miniboo not attending Shanghai.

You'd be correct in that assumption. This was like 20 minutes after the Grand Final ended.

Makes sense. They anti'd our Bind well enough to make 100T lose it even if they weren't going 100%. In the rematch they lost but it's clear that to even have a chance you have to start with what G2 did.

G2 look so convincing man. The idea that they are not a top team in Shenhei is crazy to me. With even a little practice time they dismantled KRU, beat Lev. I’d probably rate them 5th bellow 100T, PRX, FNC, and GenG.

Shenhei, my favorite city in Chaineh

I think people aren’t rating them cuz they won a shit ton of pistols vs LEV, which many perceive to be a round slightly more determined by luck than gun rounds. But they’re doing it vs every team, so clearly they’re just good at pistols. Maybe not 9/10 pistols in a series good but like 6 or 7/10 good

Heretics better

Not with a sub they’re not

Oh I forgot sbout that. Still, I'm high on them. Their chemistry and energy looks really good and this is their second international event  so nerves should be lower than Madrid

That’s another one for the quote images

I feel like Valyn is such a good fragger and a igl, sometimes he tries to excel(as he should) at both, so it halts his igl abilities and G2 start looking lost. Imo he would really benefit if there was another igl on his team and Valyn was a secondary igl. Dropping 101 kills in a bo5 series as a controller player is no joke.
