optic haters make zero sense, if someone brings up something impressive an optic player did, yall are just like "but that was the past". if someone brings up something bad an optic player did, suddenly it's relevant

i wonder what kind of internet ur on if this took 3 years to post

huh

bro is comparing a region that automatically gets 3 slots to a singular team

i wish he had demon1 over ethan, but maybe demon1 wants out for personal reasons

why would nrg sign a tier 3 player?

what's the roster gonna be? ik marved is getting dropped but who else?

more harbor, especially given the teams we got today

I'll watch game 1 walkouts and then call it

this essay is absolutely kicking my ass rn, and by the time I have it done g2 vs t1 will probably already be it started. is it worth watching the whole game or do I just watch the walkouts and then go to sleep? just for clarification, my essay will be DONE by the time the game starts, im asking whether I should sleep or watch the game

is net part pinoy by any chance?

the theory is that if g2 and lev played again, lev would win

5 am is infinitely better than 1am or 4am. 1am is too late and 4 am is too early, 5am is early but it's workable

im not disagreeing, just saying instead of the tournament starting at 4pm in china, they should start it at 2pm or something. that would require western europeans to get up pretty early, but not 4 am type of early.

im not complaining, im just saying 1 am is a very bad time for us. if it was a few hours later we could wake up early to watch, if it was a few hours earlier we could stay up late to watch, but it is what it is

9am is much better than 1 am and it isn't even close

boasting boosted boaster

juicy hasn't even been playing well

idk about shanghai, but msi in chengdu had a really solid crowd

biank 1v3 vs nrg on lotus

i mean sri lanka is a part of asia so in this context yeah

flag

I like it a lot but I don't think breach needs a buff

bet

they was a tourney in between no?

flair

first frod goes to loud as an assistant coach, then takes bzka's head coach role
then after a 3rd place finish on loud frod goes to mibr, then takes bzka's job there too
what's next?

the gameplay loop of valorant is to queue up ranked and grind. the percentage of the playerbase that does stuff other than that is quite low. riot isn't gonna waste time trying to reinvent the game several times a year

chovy surely will not choke

sometimes i wonder why is so rare to see black ppl in esports? maybe cuz theyre good at real sports or esports being a white ppl thing

bro what?

m80 losing to orgless turtle troop is pretty depressing, but oxg and mxs are the 2 best challengers teams and it's single elim so not much you can say abt that.

no way you got baited by the nrg social media team lmao

fpx

I don't understand how crashies/victor can be overrated when literally 90% of the community thinks they suck

Omg I knew

BLG 3-2

1/60 chance, statistically someone in this thread should get those vbucks
cryo

kick the eu spies from the coaching staff

if everyone hates him how can he be overrated?

i didn't say you hate crashies, i said everyone hates crashies. im referring to stuff i've seen all over this site, not just this thread

why does everyone hate crashies?

is tsm vs yfp the only game of na t2 you've watched this year?

nah they'll run in a shape so unrecognizable that nrg's na players will have to get that korean math education

Not my two favorites teams :( realistically t1 wins bc Ethan can’t mid round and that’s detrimental against a pacific team

you asked why they kept sacy over pancada, the answer is simple. pancada's english was not good enough to play on an english speaking team. while he is very talented, it doesn't make up for the fact that his comms just weren't what the team needed. you mention roles, do you remember what happened when they took pancada off of smokes? maybe he could play initiator, but what's the point in signing a world champ mvp smokes player just to have him play a role he's subpar at would be a complete waste. sacy on the other hand gets to keep his role while also comming well.

sacy has better english

nrg higher than bleed imo, a lot of people anticipated bleed would fail

i get and agree with you primary point, but you can't just sneak in information that isn't true. i literally agree with all of your points, im just pointing out the fact that you called SOMEONE ELSE dumb for something they were actually right about. no need to get all pressed, own your mistakes
