Hey guys I'm Platoon. I aim to give unique, informed, relatable, and entertaining insight into a variety of Valorant esports topics. I intend to make my videos both enjoyable and to provoke thought in everyone who enjoys Valorant esports. Thanks for coming by! Business inquiries: platoon@withmonroe.com
I realized that fns watch all these watch parties and tournaments in the sideline yet when he's the one playing it's like he never learns and forgets everything.
it's easy to think pros are only worth their mechanics in game but especially in team environments positive mentality and teamwork, while very hard to measure and attribute to an individual, is arguably just as important
Another great analysis. Would've liked to see some takes on Asuna's performance though, I feel like his playstyle has made a huge shift to fit the team's needs.
unpopular opinion, zikz was more of the savior than boostio. boostio brought in the mental and attitude for sure, but if u remember 2022 100T roster with sgares they were also very good and it was before cryo was added. they started to fumble with cryo (arguably one of the best players at that time) bcos sgares left. i think even with the 2023 roster but with a change of coach, they couldve been very good too (although not as good as they are with boostio and eeiu but they still wouldnt be bad)
Do you think demon1 wanted to stay on the main roster? I figured at least a good portion of it was his own decision, he’s going through some tough times personally with his partner’s health iirc
I love these kinds of videos, keep it up man :D! For me what also stood out is the utter confidence Boostio and Zikz had in the players straight from the beginning. Boostio was very adamant that Asuna, Bang and Cryo (somewhat more obvious) were incredible players who can be Top 5 in their roles. He said all of this before the season began. For all three of these players their peaks were at least 2 years ago (even arguably 2021 for Asuna although his 2022 was great). And it never felt like cope to me, just the coach and the igl believing that if they changed the mentality and took over most of the responsibility these three would just pop off. They are now the very definition of playing to win, even if it costs them rounds and against much better opponents maps and maybe games. But they seem to have unshakable confidence that this mentality will make them better and better in the long run. Lastly, Eeiu has been a revelation to me. I knew was good from the M80 Ascension run but I really do not think any of this would be possible without him. He is their enabler and their rock. He sets up so many plays, ensures trades for every crazy fight they take and more often than not is the guy in the safer position in clutches who counters the agression of the others. If you did not get headshot by Bang, Asuna, Cryo and Boostio you still have to win against a guy who will play the clutch out intelligently and run the timer down. I really love this team and I have been a big fan since 2020. I hope they keep crushing it <3.
FAX,idk why people treat masters like its champions ig its cuz fan favourites like fnc and sen has only wons couple of masters not champions ,thats also what makes champs interesting underdog teams like EG
@@josephjoestar6953 champion only 1 per years while master is 2 per years already prove the different and important it's like world cup and euro and league of legend champion vs MSI. Sentinel fan they are arrogant but little did they know their idol tenz haven't yet reach grand final in world champion.
@@josephjoestar6953 also EG 2023 also got the second place at tokyo master right before their world champion trophy it mean boostio still clear every FNC and Sentinel fraud. Like potter said on twitter she never lose to johnqt or sentinel you can read it again on her social
@@HenriettaAthena ye all champions winning duelist are literal goats ,aspas cNed and demon1(thanks to boostio igl ing) , tenZ only rose to fame cuz of his reyjkavak run when duelist where easier to play,but yeah champions just show better of the players than masters imo
Basically demon1 and cryo are baiters as duelists. Why would teams want baiter duelists who don't even play duelists other than jett when they have multiple duelist players who play like a genuine entry
Kinda gnarly how Cryo's situation upon joining 100t mirrors Demon 1 joining NRG, both of which became the primary entry for their team when they thrived in a more duo entry, lurk playstyle. Both teams performed relatively the same as each other as well.
FYI were 100T failed to win VCT America then PRX wanted to pick them as their first opponent from swiss stage because there's Boostio in there. PRX knows that last year they lost to Boostio not Demon1 or Jawgemo.
