The way I perceive Valorant is that one of it's main USP's is that it's a nice and welcoming game for people who are new to FPS games, but if they keep on adding agents with more and more obscure abilities it makes the floor way higher.

You can dislike the fact that riot have to cater to new audiences (examples such as smoke particles, cypher cam), but without it, but at some point the game will only keep a steady, loyal fanbase with little to no growth.

I think this problem is a lot worse in Valorant since an ability can be applied in many different ways (think gekko flash, and kayo flash, both have the same purpose but are very different on how they work mechanically)

think more of urself king no one is out of ur league if u try hard enough

people who dont understand that disagreements are normal.
what actually constitutes a healthy relationship (for me) isn't the fact that you disagree in the first place, but on how you work together to try and see each others differences, even if it results in a boring 'agree to disagree'

I thought he didn't want to compete as a player anymore? correct me if I am wrong

yes with that attitude

the same as before I was born, nothing really tbh

script writers getting lazy
2021 tenz sub to win
2024 yay sub to win

As much as I want to see a good heretics, continuing studying is the objectively right thing for him to do. At the end of the day if he doesn't want to go no one can force him

if u somehow managed to convince all of TH would this actually be possible under vct rules

aspas
leo
alfajer
chronicle
forsaken*

wow that actually sucks, I think the format is partially to blame they defo messed up

yh fr, honestly if I was saadhak I would just show up to furia or mibr hq and demand they blow up their roster and give him full control

basically what u said but instead of removing victor, demon1
and for roles put ethan on perma smokes with victor to fill in secondary initatior/duelist/smokes (basically tenz/asuna treatment)
I think marved on sentinel would be good he's quite an adaptable player

I can't lie demon1 is going through it rn, he has shit going on in his life which is defo impacting his performance, imo he should take a break to sort shit out and support his gf and then come back stronger (maybe even on a different team depending how long it takes), besides that, I still believe in the potential of the rest of the roster, I think they need to get their coaching in order and create more defined roles

if chaadhak cant save them no one can

allat + glazing (+ potential schizo) warning

If by any miracle you see this, you are the goat. You are an award winning player, you've inspired thousands and your legacy will continue to do so for as long as val is relevant. There will always be bandwagoning haters who don't realise that they're talking about a human being while sitting comfortably behind a screen; despite the fact that you've put yourself out there on the stage making the effort to still compete, even after getting fucked by C9, even after having to move halfway across the globe, and even despite health issues.

Obviously I don't know you personally or anything, so this could miss the mark by a lot; but I think that there's a chance a player such as yourself can be in a slump, and see all these positive remarks and feel guilty over the fact that people still defend you despite recent performances, which probably would just create a negative feedback loop for your mental.

I want to make it clear that despite all this glazing, I don't want to put any pressure (like the scenario that I've just outlined). You can retire, you can come back and surpass your peak or even go -20 every series for the next 3 years; all I ask of you is to know you'll always have people on your side and to have more confidence in yourself, the only way we can know about your confidence is through your gameplay and through your posts and with the latter being infrequent (not a critique, just an observation), it leaves us with really only one avenue to speculate.

You will always have fans, regardless of performance.

Be it whilst you're backed into a corner or out in the spotlight. There will always be those who are against you, and there will always be those few who earn your trust and stab you in the back the moment you turn. But always remember there are those who will stick by you no matter what. I'm sure you already know all this so just to cover my ass I'm just gonna say this post was probably more for me to vent a bit after seeing all the threads on the topic.

tldr: I am a fan of both y0y AND yay and I'm sure there are many others who are too.

FNC GENG or FNC LEV would be fun to watch

my honest reaction

drg so good they representing emea too

China - EDG
Pacific - PRX
Americas - 100T
EMEA - take a wild guess

how do you people sleep at night

bro is so innocent
i dread the day he becomes a full vlr user

Theoretically teams which don't qualify to champs can go then, but idk if the timeline for something like that is even possible

I think probably physical mostly, he had issues with it prior to joining bleed and some during (eg that one icebox clip), I think he has good quite a good outlook by the way he manners himself and replies to people, like just his general demeanour seems like he's doing all good. With that said u never know what someone's going through so if he is hopefully he is coping well with it

yayster el diablo

GENG PRX and possibly LEV or TH I would have to possibly beat fnatic, however it is possible if they continue on their current upwards trajectory

tldr for one line
this generation is cooked 😭

85% of last year imo, but trending upwards
id say around kickoff they were playing 60%

argument for before asw on guild

STOP CLAPPING STANDING ASIDE, TOUCH THAT WELL DESERVED FUCKING TROPHY MY GOAT

you have a future in politics

iPhone 14 Pro
I had an iPhone X which I wanted to use for a lot longer but got mugged 😭😭 can't have shit in London

I would switch:
FUT, FNC (simply cuz of the head to head, and fnatic are on a steady incline)
LEV, TH (ibr TH are good, but after madrid I still doubt them on LAN a bit)
T1, G2 (no real justification, just a gut feeling ngl)

Maybe we’re not the best(for now), but we sure as hell are entertaining to watch
GG FUT

unfortunately tru

AMER: LEV (100T close)
EMEA: NAVI (I need to see heretics destroy international teams, not just EMEA teams)
APAC: PRX (DRX if they didn't have choking disorder)
CHINA: EDG (Still take them over FPX cuz of LAN experience)

International formats are pretty good now. Just fix the regionals and everyone is happy

yeah I agree, I think PRX is the only clear favourite

FUT 2-0 to bring 8 turkish players in total to shanghai

FNC 2-1 TH
leo alfajer masterclass

i believed lfg

If we use our time off well I think we can meet in the finals

LFGGGGGG - my wallet

ikea would actually make a good org

yeah, means everyone else is shooting.

I mean to refer more so to the roster, but you may be correct, I don't really know their map pool so you could be right

I think if they're truly in contention for a title that's ok, but only as long as it is 'picked up', FNS and Boaster have proved that to me
