I sent the wrong picture! I promise! But you should check the front door, there's been a package out there for a couple minutes now.
well the rent was expensive... I did you a favor... we talked about this.
yeah that pic of your mom was mean... sorry about that.
nah look at lifetime, its a boosted sold account
Do Riot executives look at CS2 Budapest Major and be like... damn I don't want that. I want project blender? #openupfranchisingthx
On smokers you need to understand whether you want to keep the enemy out or the enemy in. I've seen suggestions in this thread saying that you should play from spawn and smoke. This is only going to work if your team is either holding angles that benefit from smokes or if you're trying to keep the enemy team out to allow your team to rotate. Both of these require information and decision making on your part.
If you're not playing around your own smokes then your goal is to get your team into the site to retake. You will want to use a minimal amount or get your smoke timing rotation which allows you have enough time to smoke bomb and play around bomb.
If you're playing retake with your team and you get into site with your smokes intact then you're trying to eliminate angles to allow your team to take more spaces or deny vision to the enemy team to create advantageous situations for your team. If you're taking the dice route this means eliminating the uhaul and teleport angle while your team to clear showers. Then smoking box to take site control.
Also buy a shorty. There are so many opportunities for you to force an enemy player to have to take your smoke blindly.
If you're playing B, it's the same situation. Your goal should be to get your teammates into the site.
TL;DR: Do not smoke off execute. Use your smokes strategically to achieve your goals of taking space and getting your teammates into advantageous attacking positions.
OPEN UP FRANCHISING AND TAKE THE GAME TO LAN.
Just keep playing. You'll end up back in the same place eventually. One of the reason people are quitting is because the algo is really good at keeping you in the same band for the entirety of your time playing.
GE Coaches reinventing roster riding.
I'm sort of trolling for the purpose of exposing truth.
Abstracting compositions from the gameplay itself is problematic and that's why I'm highlighting it. It's not rock-paper-scissors and while ultimate abilities may turn rounds, it's player decision making that would make them optimal, not the existence of the abilities or agent's themselves. I tried to push Ang to talk about the "why" as it's far more interesting and important than discussing what agents are the best to play on each map.
Sorry wouldn't that just mean that Raze is good against comps that are weak against Raze? So if I played optimal according to this comp wouldn't that mean that the best comp is weak against the best comp? And would that mean that it isn't the best comp?
Change is inevitable. It's been five years and we need a refresh at all levels. Thank you doug but we need new people.
Find current event, take the opposite side of the popular take, convince everyone you're passionate about the subject and never give in.
I lived through 2011-12. KC will fumble again. Probably are beating the league record for w/l tho.
I hope so. I'm tired of watching the revolving door. It's literally the answer to long term employment in this league.
For the uninitiated, it's close quarter battles which are gun fights in close spaces with a tactical approach to angles. Sounds familiar? Probably not to any coaches currently in tier 1. But hey! I bet they could tell us whether double initiator works on ascent in their exit interview.
And I'll stop... bullying isn't in fashion anymore.
What if you took it another direction? What if you focused on CQB tactics and then where CQB approach doesn't solve your problem you apply agent abilities to overcome these issues? What if you had focused conversations about what are the problems at each of the points of interest in any given map? Ask questions about how the players see themselves overcoming the issues through gun-play and then through abilities?
You know what... that sounds difficult, just say mini-checkmate and look up power spikes in Magic the Gathering and Pokemon.
Shows a lack of practice. CQB is the way. Overwatch comms should not have prevailed but the VOD Coaches won.
A refusal to view the game any other possible way other than mini checkmates and magic the gathering.
Rank is not correlated to skill. If you want to increase your rank then hire a booster. If you want to get better then spam the game.
Reaction time only matters in situations where you are caught off guard or there isn't a recognizable pattern in front of you. People more often miss shots because of poor crosshair placement or taking on too many angles in a single moment.
It was like the other day when I was watching a tiktok val educational con-artist was talking about peeker's advantage. People have reached a point where confirmation bias is so foundationally engraved in their critical thinking that they can't see what's happening in front of their face.
Whose alt is this? Is there like a discord where you guys speed run to 4 stars?
This. Cryo does well when he is in front of the enemy on even footing.
Oh is that the same tdawgg who found out crypto betting and apologized for it?
Shhh before I hurt your feelings. If FNS fans actually knew...
And the door revolves around again. Can't wait for a new and exciting EG! All the things that are going to change with this new addition is sure going to be amazing! ...
You are the person the post is talking about. TBH.
100T don't reason. You have to use vibes against their arguments.
They are enabled by the constant apologies of a management staff that has no clue what they are doing in Valorant. There's no accountability at any level. Not to mention a community that champions people who are the world's biggest grifters. But don't worry, they won when the game was brand new... they got this. No problem!
There are no good coaches. Only good friends. And that's all that matters.
Everything is viable. It's all about the creativity behind the use of the abilities in combination with others.
The bar is so low for everything. Memes or death in all the things.
Wow! Potter stopped coaching to play in a tournament? Crazy!
Fun fact: Confirmation bias (also confirmatory bias, myside bias,[a] or congeniality bias)[2] is the tendency to search for, interpret, favor and recall information in a way that confirms or supports one's prior beliefs or values.[3] People display this bias when they select information that supports their views, ignoring contrary information or when they interpret ambiguous evidence as supporting their existing attitudes. The effect is strongest for desired outcomes, emotionally charged issues and deeply entrenched beliefs.
Too many students try to go the originalist route when the basis of their questions are formed through populist opinions with intended results in mind.
I watched the video and was able to do this the next game 😲

The standards are just so low... and you and most of this community will never know any different. There used to be actual commentary about the state of the play. Not just reactions and literally telling you what is on the screen in front of you.
its crazy we live in a world where someone tells you they are actually stupid and because their mainstream they are considered cream of the crop... we should really try to put sticks in to a piece of shit and tell everyone how knowledgeable it is... 20-1odds says we can convince them the shit is coach of the year for valorant.
bald man plays pokemon all day and gets boosted to diamond. L take.
