as a neutral viewer, he is really good. I think he overheats a bit at times, but he can definitely surpass even the best duelists in the region like mada if timotino gets better at being disciplined. i would say he is one of the best rookie pickups so far this year.

or maybe its because he keeps thinking of half baked comps that only work 20% of the time so he overcompensates for making new ones that are just as easy to antistrat. but hey, anything to play a comp thats never been seen before and therefore can't be anti stratted, right?

this has me cackling lmaooooo

i swear he must be neurodivergent or something, he just can't stick to one thing! he needs to change something or the other at every possible opportunity. mind you, this is the same termi who refused to make a single roster change in TWO YEARS from 2021 to 2023!!! like, what is this switch up? can he chill out?

ok... the hardest agent out of those 5 to carry on imo is sova, but if you also want to have fun with your friends brim is the best option. the other three are carry machines because with sage you dont even need to worry about util or anything, and jett and phoenix are duelists.

yeah im actually so done with this whole "brawk odin go brr" strat that NRG likes to run. at least with the "mada go kill" strat, it relies heavily on mada's actual skill at entrying and getting 4 before dying. brawk is just lugging around a murder machine and spraying it all over his enemies, that's no fun to watch.

honestly this might backfire. astra is so strong in a player that knows how to use her well, and a player can easily carry a game with astra, easier than with any other controller imo (yes, even harder than viper or clove). she is really versatile and as long as you enter astral form at the right times and you are willing to take risks, and you have good gamesense, she becomes so fun and very easy to carry on.

WELL I LIKE WATCHING MATCHES IN THE MORNING, SUE ME IDC

keep coping and blaming everyone else. this wont make you good again but it will give you a huge ego boost, because you know you belong in immortal and you are way better than all the trash surrounding you.

this is the first time in history that I have read a super long sentence where adding any full stops would make things worse.

also everything in general is super expensive (at least from the POV of a tourist), from groceries to healthcare/medications. not like America bad on some of that stuff, but genuinely why is a weekly grocery run there upwards of 200 dollars (equivalent to currency, rough estimate as well)?? that is preposterous, i could get almost a month worth of groceries for myself in the UK with that much money.

its so weird because why are their hands all over me just to get ahead? they will walk straight into me even if i am standing or walking in the aisle. they brush up so close behind me when there really isnt any need to. the worst part is, i actually enjoy flights, just not the part where I have to deal with the other creatures around me.

i think its the idea that people can't stand being the last to get out, like they are somehow superior humans if they manage to escape first. or maybe because planes are cramped and everyone is a bit moody after flights. but most people on planes are assholes, pushing and shoving to get their things and get out. more than once I have been inappropriately touched while fighting for my life in the middle aisle trying to get my luggage out even after waiting for the rush to die down.

oh is it? i havent been active on the site in a while so i miss most of the articles. anyways, keep up the good work!

W, another round of what many may consider the pacific el classico in valorant. also this writing style is new, is this a new article writer for vlr.gg? i like how its more laid back

Or maybe more like eep op?

More like ip op

whats so crazy about this? frost revenge? let's hope DRX can beat down a crumbling FULL SENSE roster to make it happen, but tbh if DRX makes it any further in the LB they are just going to end up being a free win for any of the teams still in the middle or upper bracket rn.

alt account or not, you are clearly obsessed with me, given that your ONLY 2 posts are interacting with me. just enjoy the attention, since you clearly care so much about it. why else would you reply to me twice and make no other posts? loser.

wow i got baited so hard by the "recent discussion" tab that this post showed. "I miss wardell and his tight a..." im dead

but kamo is really good, i dont think he should be subbed out.

rarga 13-9 because full russian is better than half russian

double L because TH also got thrashed by GX as well.. :/

i think even now, the teams we least expect to are going to make it to champions, from every region. and the winner is going to be very unexpected

genuinely the middle bracket in both americas and pacific is true horror. i have no clue who is going to survive this but I am certain that one of the two teams from the middle bracket in the 2 regions will top 3 at masters santiago.

Look i am only running on blind faith. I have zero expectations for this team to make it to any international rn and I'm only hoping and praying that I will get to see them play live in June. Otherwise I don't see drx getting anywhere after losing their best player 1 month before the season starts.

Oh if only you knew. I have had this shitty fucking flair on for 4 years now. Literally the only time I have changed the flair is to be a troll or to support my second favourite team when drx was not relevant like at internationals they were not at. Smh, don't doubt my loyalty. It's driving me insane

DRX is in their flop era. Don't bet on them until next year

You have a point. The only player he treated worse than foxy9 in any iteration of DRX is zest, subbing him in with no practice.

no way an alt account was created just to reply to me! i feel honoured for such a compliment!

no but seriously your behaviour is unhinged and parasocial based on the posts in this one thread.

Um maybe you should see a doctor. Have you recently travelled on holiday (long distance?)

I'm the prediction goat

NAVI 2-1 TH
M8 2-0 GX

your post history is giving "NPC to boost interactions on this site" vibes.

or you can just have good takes and not get downvoted...

I kind of feel bad for jayde now. Her mental health must be terrible rn

This is why I am so grateful for the blessing of 🌟 public transport 🌟. I have no right to complain about my 45 minute commute anymore! Yes, I normally get surrounded by sweaty people packed like sardines into a cramped and hot carriage, but I would not change it for anything as remotely horrific as a THREE HOUR car journey.

What the hell did I miss in the last week? These are the times when I'm glad that I went on my vlr detox. What a mess.

I bet you aren't clowning on me now are you?

WAIT am i the only one expecting FURIA to win?? tbh I haven't watched any of the games...

say whatever you want but don't act surprised when they exceed your low expectations for the team. I can tell you that by the end of last year, they were very quickly climbing up the ranks in the pacific region.

yes but I have higher hopes for T1 this year. i hope people aren't sleeping on munchkin and meteor finally reuniting after 2024.

yeah you're right. the pacific region has only become stronger in the last 2 years and with 3 teams now that have WON international tournaments before DRX, i see them getting pushed out of that top 3 top 4 position in pacific for the first time since the start of franchising. PRX is obviously going to be better - invy was the best thing that ever came out of TS and now he is on a team that supports his high impact playstyle. T1 is a sleeper pick for best in the region this year imo, and I think this will be the year where they consistently prove themselves as the best korean team of the year. you can never count GENG out when they have a very strong core around texture and karon, and lakia can give them some structure that was lost with munchkin's departure. imo, the ex talon roster on full sense will finally show up as that consistent top team in the region, pushing DRX out of that top 4 spot in pacific. But like I said, DRX will gatekeep the international tournament spots - if you beat DRX, you have a very good shot of making it to the international tournaments, and i expect them to be fighting for that last slot at every stage in 2026.

he wouldn't have been the only player to survive 3 different complete roster reshuffles on DRX if he was washed. trying to find a good way to slander mako will be hard because he has been consistent for far too long to be called "washed". The way I see it, he will either end his career on DRX (highly likely at this rate) or get picked up by another korean franchising team (i don't see this happening). for him to get dropped, he would have to break both of his wrists and retire from pro valorant. I promise that this isn't glaze, it's just my evaluation of mako over the last 4 years of his pro career. If even termi, the guy who can't go a single season without crashing out on his roster anymore, keeps mako on as the only remnant of the old roster, he has to be worth something even now in his igl low impact phase of his career.

I used to be but now I just support the team for mako. And I find it sad that one of korea's best talents was wasted on a trophyless team that chokes and crumbles all the time. I've been a DRX fan since before most of you guys on vlr ever started watching pro valorant but this team has let me down so many times. I really thought things would change when I saw how good flashback was, but now he is retired and this team will go back to gatekeeping the international tournament spots and bombing out when they make it far. I still want them to do well and hope that they will, but I am done deluding myself into thinking that this team will achieve much in the future.

I really didn't expect flashback to be the first player that DRX drove into retirement. I was certain that mako would have started and ended his career on DRX before anyone else. Well, looks like DRX will be back on another 2 year throw streak before getting third in champions 2028 now.

Fair enough. But it depends how high you rate them. They are still third or fourth best in the region despite everything. Hyunmin and flashback will hard carry them against most teams. However another champs 25 performance at any international next year is mere wishful thinking. Mako isn't a good enough igl for that and freeing would have to go tejo mode for them to get close off raw firepower.
