started of as a sentinels fan in 2020 (was a big sinatraa stan from his OW days), watched them win reykavik with tenz (1st time i stayed up for a valorant game, and became a massive shazam fan around that time as well) and really loved the way fnatic played and boaster ofc, soi started supporting them and primarily sentinels tru out 22. but since sentinels were in their own banter era in 22, so ended up supporting fnatic a lot more(timezone, not being able to watch all the NA games, etc) , finally realised i was a full fnatic fan after realizing how i felt after they lost to drx at 22 champs, that was how Fnatic became my no1 team with GE as my 2nd(cause im indian,tho i also hate them with a passion more than any team) i still have a softspot for Sentinels, Zeta(22 run), liquid (i just like the org) and all of Pacific , and ig theres nats too discovered him in the quals for Masters berlin and was enamoured with his playstyle and micro setups, one of the biggest reasons why i play anchor/lurk to this day

Wasnt considering removals in isolation, maybe i should have tbf

Chicken, tho a well made fish does give it a good fight

In lol, from what i understand valo is doing decently and is on the come up. Also can someone explain why lol is dead in china now, im kinda out the loop on this stuff

Title

A wide range of factors general culture, tech access, eSports culture, geographical distance

I can keep going on and on, population doesn't matter if you don't have the system's, will and culture required for it, im the end it's not a simple answer

Sounds fun, tho considering how vlr is im a little concerned abt the topics

Ngl that is a hilarious backstory for that, not that i hate Saitama

But still, fk Saitama 🗿

And yes, f**k saitama

This

This is something ppl just dont understand, it is easier to just blame individuals and orgs then Accept that this is a systemic issue

Also y'all can read a little, if u can't keep your attention for this little essay, well goodluck broski

w bait lol

man are u watching the games at all?

That an indian team could perform like this against top APAC teams, with an indian coah too(given godspeed has been looked over for ages, good to see him get the respect he deserves),

I dont care if vlt crash and burn after this, making a team like NAOS bleed Is more than enough for me

Invy to GE, would match the roles so well and give them some much needed star power

how tf do u end up with that statline, playing astra, as igl

crazy work man, this is the guy ppl want out of fnatic, actual fking sheep

They cooked, with everything here

OG LND UTD(lithuania rise up, also the team molsi and boo were on). BIG(RIP twisten(, Incheon Onslayers(k1ng, ts, zunba, bazzi, goddead), Rise, T1(the NA roster), griffin esports(PTSD from siufatbb body slamming GE in 2022), Order(Rip oce)

Thought leo would be back one day, always thought he was way too good to go out this early especially after the way he tried to single handedly drag fnatic across in stage 2 and at shangai , thought he'll be back eventually and we'd get to see peak valorant again, and now im just sitting here. Thinking abt how we'll never see him play again, and we probably won't see a player of his calibre for a while

And for me, That hurts a little ngl

.25 1600

dropped from .77 1600,

why are u want to ask something that sensitive in this cesspool?, vlr is the last place u want to ask abt this shit, go it a good subreddit instead pls

Sociablee is 29 goddamn years old despite being a rookie, and here he is breaking kill records

What a player, doing this at an age most players are flipping burgers is crazy work, he should have been picked up ages ago ngl

Edit: and he absolutely bombed on map 1 too, that makes this even crazier

Interstellar???

he was ehh in ow, dont know how he is as a valorant coach

My man got that blue lock mindset and went "fk it, i shoot", the balls on this guy

2021 champs leaf, my man looked like he had just been exorcised

Ur saying this as u haven't watched VCL south asia, watching those games will make u want to claw your eyes out sometimes it can get that bad, we simply don't have players who are t1 calibre as of yet

thats the thing i fear the most, despite everything we have a great core this year and no matter what, they cannot let go of udo, papi, kristal and the coaching staff, but then again these guys are probably getting poached and who knows what the coaches are thinking

we cant even blame the managment this time, they really did everything they could, from the tryouts, to getting mCe and platoon, getting some of the best rookies pacific had this year, even when things went to shit in stage 1 after ju3venile got booted, they still managed to get mCe, at this point i dont even know what GE could do

It would suck to be on GE's staff rn, they do literally everything right after the shite roster building last year, large open tryouts after which they get some of the best rookies from t2, they 2 great coaches, only for your big gamble sigining to miss kickoff entierley and then proceeds to fail spectacularly and on top of that your coach to get kicked cause of reasons out of your control and that pretty much kills the team's vibe and chances

ok, so now to semi rebuild, get the best coach that NA has to offer, one of the best stats analysts with 2 firepower upgrades, AND UR TEAM STILL SHITS THE BED, there's no way this is real, id be losing my mind if i was the rushi and vatsal rn

and worst part is that we dont even know if GE can keep the good pieces they had going into next year, all 3 of Kr1stal, papi and udo are going to receive a lot of offers , mCe is going back to maryville now that GE's season is over, and who knows whats going to happen with platoon, this team should have been so much better than it was, but no WE JUST HAVE TO BE CURSED, i hate being a fan of this godforsaken team

its overall the best large safe ambi mouse on the market especially when u consider the price, its weight is really low for the size, omoron opticals that are well implemented, great coating, nice scroll whell, a great set of accessories out of the box, web based software so u dont have to download anything, a overall better shape than the GPX having used both and maining the maya x imo, a 3950 sensor with 8k polling in the box and when u consider thats all for 120 usd, its pretty insane especially when considering the competion, the viper v3 pro would be the overall best mouse in the large safe ambi mouse on the market, but its 30-40 usd more and u have to deal with synapse; the vaxee xe v2 and zowie u2 dw are similarly priced but are significantly heavier with lower polling but better build quality, warranty and relaiablity, and the wlmouse beast x max isnt exactly for everyone

the only problem i have ios that my scroll wheel has been acting up and i need to get that rma'ed and this seems to happen a not insignificant amount in lamzu mice, thats the only downside for me, still recommend u do more reseacrh tho, mice are a very subjective thing and its always best to look up multiple proper reviews of multiple trusted reviwers

hope that helped

gald to know, do post here when u get ur new mouse, and dear god do i relate with that scroll wheel, retired my Dav3 v3 pro faker cause the scroll wheel was toast, that shouldnt be an issue with the viper v3 pro tho

Shape is subjective, whats good for one person it's going to work for another, but based of what ive given (ur okay with a heavier mouse (thank fk), want something with the support of an ergo)

As ordered

1. Vaxee XeV2
2. Razer Viper v3 pro
3. Zowie u2/za13

Id also give a shout out to the vaxee zygen npo1s and waizowl cloud 3950

Pls Do more research tho, mice are a subjective thing, hope this helped

Thats taking it a bit too far tbf, not to mention its repairability, bulid quality and customisablity

Ig u can put it like that, 70 usd is still a sizable investment, but not as much as 100-120 usd ig, but before that, what are u looking for, what do u specifically want other that, its an ambi?

yeah mb, i was talking abt the v3 pro

get the sora if u want a back humped claw focused mouse, but i wouldnt really mind with ninjustso at this point, u want something like that get the pulsar x2v3/crazylight(should have brought this one up earlier if im being honest), the many versions of the lamzu atlantis mini, the before mentioned scyrox v8, and if ur okay with a heavier mouse, endgamegear's xm2w4k

get the xe v2 if u want a large safe ambi with execptional build quality, and a software free experience

as for the xe v2, its top 3 with the viper and maya x in terms of large ambi's, the trade off being

maya x for lowest price, more polling, optical switches and software, its also the lightest of the bunch at 47 grms

vaxee xe v2 for better build quality, no software plug and play, mechanical switches but its heavier

the viper v3 pro is 20 pounds more expensive i think, and its kind of in between the above 2

again thats a personal preference thing, idgaf as long as theyre implemnted well, some ppl are not like that, also this anit a keyboard, that shit doesnt matter in mice(the travbel distance tthing), if ur clicks are going in too far, thats a qc problem and needs rma

well..... it is a finalmouse clone, no doubt abt it, but id 9/10 get a wlmouse over finalmouse personally, they got more accessories, better qc, the shell is magnesium so its not as creaky as the carbon composite on the finalmouse, and its got mechanical switches, which a lot of ppl like as they dont like the feel of opticals

also there is nor "beast x max pro mini", do not get the bnast x mini pro to start out, its too small, even by small mice standards, the beast x max is the gpx/viper v3 pro/large ambi version of the same shape, and the regular beast x is somewhere in between

no not as far as ik

oh, that opens up vaxee and a couple of other brands

the xe v2 is an option if u like a zowie type mouse, without the zowie comprimises, tho zowie have fixed that with their dw series, then theres the npo1s, if u want an ergo thats not am ergo but still is?
there's waizowl, WL mouse, santali, etc

budget?

its basically a better gpx

better hump shape, better optical switch implementation, web based software so u dont have to download anything, all for 30-40 us less(if ur buying the fnatic version which i did, pretty sure its also the only version with 8k polling), vastly superior stock skates and accsseories, oh and its got a really nice looking box if thats ur thing

ngl, as much as the op18k is a goated mouse in general, if ur coming from ergo's(im assuming its either a deathadder or ec) the op1 isnt the best option if u want to try ambi, its a very small and narrow shape and that will require getting to used to if ur coming from ergo's as they're always a lot larger than their ambi counter parts(unless its an npo1s, but that mouse lives in its own dimension), and theres the wire on top and no matter what u do, ur gonna feel it

my recommendation would be to start out with something safe 1st, my recommendation would be the maya x, or viper v3 pro if u have the money, if u dont have the budget for that, u can tryout one the the cheaper GPX/ambi clone shapes from the likes of ATK, VXE or ajaz, they dont cost more than 50us tops and will work if u want to tryout ambi for the 1st time, also shout out to scyrox, i own a v8 and they provide by far the best value for money in the market today besides the op18k, so if u can, do give their other mouse the v6 a shot(also killer unboxing experience)

also im assuming ur indian of ur flag, if ur not i can give some other recommendations

This the kind of shit that keeps us from doing anything at ascension, wtf was omen ult??

Sure I'd like to take a look, it's a very interesting map to Play on and I have quite enjoyed it in ranked

I would like to see what other PPL come up with

Absolutely not, the b choke is not something u can clear without a duelist, and to add to that the rotations on this map can be made less painful by playing a yoru/neon

The real ones will remember laz's chambers during zeta's 2023 run to champs
