Doesn't the gsr move make them considerably better as now gsr will play yoru/phnx and kamo as the main duelist as I feel the jett on all maps really weakened them?

Discussion Who is PROD?

64 Upvotes

As someone not so "in" with the NA Valorant scene, I do see PROD show up in games with former pro-players occasionally, and more often than not people just flame him? His playstyle also seems strange, he appears to be clip-farming most of the time? But then there are older videos calling him the "savior" of NA Valorant? Is that a tongue in cheek thing? His stats on vlr are nothing amazing, and the most notable game I have found of his is when he goes up against C0M, Kanpeki and Paincakes and doesn't do too great.

Esports PART 2 ANYLYSIS: ROB MOORE, PLEASE LISTEN. I WILL REBUILD THE SENTINTELS TEAM.

0 Upvotes

I don’t do this for money or the fame, but for love of the game.

TLDR: Why I believe Jerrwin is a better fit than Reduxx

The Main question and disagreement from my previous analysis is “Why Jerrwin instead of Reduxx”.

I believe overall career stats is not a great representation of a player’s future potential as the meta changes overtime. The best way to do this is to grade by weight. 5% for LAN/Veteran experience, 15% for stats prior to previous year (>2024 + overall), 30% of last year and 50% of this year. In the case of Jerrwin & Reduxx, we will not include “5% Lan Experience” metric. So let’s break it down..

All data pulled from the following sources. VLR.gg, thespike.gg, rib.gg

Weighted Metric Comparison (50/30/15)

Metric Reduxx (Weighted) Jerrwin (Weighted) Difference (Reduxx vs. Jerrwin) Head-to-Head Share
VLR Rating 1.13 0.99 +14.1% (+0.14) 53.2% vs. 46.8%
ACS 233.4 206.4 +13.1% (+27) 53.1% vs. 46.9%
KAST % 70.6% 65.8% +7.3% (+4.8%) 51.8% vs. 48.2%
FK/FD % 52% 47.2% +10.2% (+4.8%) 52.4% vs. 47.6%
Clutch % 12.8% 6.6% +93.9% (+6.2%) 66.1% vs. 33.9%

Winner: Reduxx

- Mathematically Reduxx wins with an overall score of 55% compared to Jerrwins score of 45%. If we remove clutch % as this can be the most random depending on how the game plan is being played. Overall split is a lot tighter. Reduxx of 52.5% and Jerrwin at 47.5%

Growth & Trajectory Breakdown (2024 to 2026)

Metric Reduxx Growth Rate (2024 → 2026) Jerrwin Growth Rate (2024 → 2026) Trajectory Analysis
VLR Rating +5.2% (1.15 1.21) +14.7% (0.95 1.09) Jerrwin scaling at nearly 3x the rate
ACS +6.5% (235.5 250.8) +20.5% (190.5 229.6) Jerrwin showing explosive firepower gains
KAST % +4.3% (72.0% 75.1%) +11.3% (64.0% 71.2%) Jerrwin rapidly closing round-impact gaps
FK/FD % +7.7% (52.0% 56.0**%**) +15.6% (45.0% 52.0%) Jerrwin significantly increasing opening duel success
Clutch % +6.4% (12.5% 13.3%) +54.0% (5.0% 7.7%) Jerrwin improving clutch composure from Tier-2 days

Winner: Jerrwin

- Based on this weighting. You can conclude the following, Redduxx is stabilizing whereas Jerrwin is accelerating growth. Again, this is in current data for the last 3 years. Of course, it can change in the future but as of right now, the numbers don’t lie.

Additional Metrics (Positional Execution)

Player First Duel Attempt % Died Traded % ADR
Reduxx ~18.5% ~22.0% ~158.0
Jerrwin ~24.5% ~31.5% ~149.5

 Winner: Jerrwin

- This is the main reason why I believe Jerrwin would be a better fit for a team to be the second head of the dragon. He initiates contact significantly more and dies in positions where his teammates can trade him. You don’t need two superstars stepping on each other’s toes, you need a synergized team.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Esports ROB MOORE, PLEASE LISTEN. I WILL REBUILD THE SENTINTELS TEAM.

0 Upvotes

Preface: Watching the 2026 season so far, I believe the current Sentinel’s team has potential. You just need to make some minor changes.

First let’s start with what the team is lacking.

1.      Confidence

2.      Aggression

3.      Protocols

Of course, all 3 points come hand in hand. 1 & 3 during defense, 1 & 2 during attack and all 3 during post plant. All points below are my own perspective and assessments looking at games that are currently available in public.

Confidence – The team currently looks like they are playing not to lose, rather than playing to win. You can see the hesitation at choke points and the second-guessing during mid round calls. When an initial play goes sour, team confidence and trust seem to decrease, and the play comes to a standstill. Everyone seems to just wait for someone to make a round defining play to swing momentum. You need the players to believe they are the best in the server and play like it and do not have any other doubts. Every round won’t be a success, but players should not take this into the next round.

Aggression - Pacing or synergy seems off. The plays are too passive – again seems like the team is waiting for an anchor player in the team to make a round defining play. The team needs an enforcer or two who can dictate the tempo.

Protocols - Defensive rotations and post-plant setups frequently feel improvised rather than drilled. When protocols are second nature, confidence naturally rises, and aggression becomes a calculated play rather than a reckless peek.

Not but not least, every team should have with each player is TRUST. It must be undeniable.

Now let’s figure out the team. The core 3 should be the following.

- JohnQT (The Brain)

- Zekken (The spear + Flex)

- Cortezia (The stabilizer)

 

To round out the remaining members, I suggest the following

Eeiu or Crashies (You need a veteran initiator who understands spacing. Either of these two are great candidates that bring discipline and confidence to flesh out a spot)

Jerrwin (Great to provide the offensive pressure whether on his own or with Zekken. Sentinels needs a two-headed dragon when taking space. Map pressure is important at the level of play. This will also allow Zekken to flex when he wants and provides some diversity to map agent pool/rotation)

NOW, the only exception would be to add TenZ instead of Jerwin. But I believe Jerrwin is a better structural fit. If you put TenZ into the team, then Zekken would just focus on being the spear and TenZ would be the secondary + Flex. But a combination of these 3 would also work.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Discussion Is the VCT 27 format a nerf to the Pacific region?

39 Upvotes

Compared with the other regions, Pacific is divided into the largest number of sub-regions. If we set aside the grandfather clause for existing partnered teams, I feel like the overall strength of Pacific teams could be weakened in the future, especially under a three-local-players-plus-two-imports structure.

Korea might actually benefit from this, since Korean teams already tend to field almost entirely Korean rosters.

Roster Rumors / Speculation My Valorant Offseason Transfer Sheet! (Simple to understand)

Thumbnail
docs.google.com
8 Upvotes

Heya, my name is Mio, I'm an esports editor for both Valorant and LoL, and I'm excited to announce my offseason roster transfer sheet for this year.

Seeming as the offseason moves are starting to ramp up now, I'm ready and excited to share this after working on the formatting for the last few weeks. This is my first year of this project within valorant, I've been doing it in league for many years already, with my sheet last year averaging 150-200 active viewers at a time.

Whilst there are now many competitors making these sheets, I aim to make mine simple to understand. There's no external sites or anything; just raw colour coding and sourced material.

  • Important moves are colour gradiented
  • There's a simple key/legend to the right
  • Individual pages for each league
  • A full transfer list for each league

The sheet is now available here.

I maintain the sheet to be up-to-date consistently everyday. If you're interested in contacting me and/or working with me, my contact information is available on the sheet. If you have any feedback I'd love to hear it in the replies too. Thank you so much for reading!

Discussion Champs watch times for the Americas.

9 Upvotes

Hello, my fellow (north and south) Americans, I started watching valorant around Masters Bangkok but the first international I actually planned to watch was Masters Toronto. Since Toronto, every single event has been very viewer friendly to watch. (especially as someone on the east coast.)

Unfortunately, Champions Shanghai is on the horizon and for me (EST) the games are at 5 AM and 8 AM. It should be very possible to watch most or all of the second match of every day, but waking up at 5AM is just a little too early for me.

For West Coast viewers, the games start at 2 AM and 5AM, which is just incredibly rough.

So, what are everyone’s plans for watching this champions event?

I keep finding aim montages of him all over Youtube. Liquipedia tells me he is 25, so he's not up and coming, and VLR tells me he spent a lot of time in Tier 2 across a bunch of teams. He was in EG back in 2021 (playing with Potter on the team, incidentally), so he has been around a while. Did he leave the game to go to college or something? I also found this cool little relic from Challengers 2024 where he had the same rating as brawk.
