yessirsedi [#4]but she actually insane with sova
idk about insane but tbh she probably plays it better than me so who am I to talk
Nycera [#10]shes is cracked at the game,one of the best sentinels NA
idk bout the last statement ill be real
taehyung [#16]is it really that much worse than eu?
Its pretty trash. The diamond/plat players look like my silver friends no cap.
Im not even trying to shit on them but it really is awful.
Afterall eu has double the amount of ranked players so zhats probably why
Sunot [#19]didnt they meme EU and say EU was worse?
i think it was a meme, but i dont watch streamers much/only watch pros and theyre better than their opponents anyway nor am i from NA so i wouldnt know, but when I watched some of her games, she doesnt play how most immortals in my games play
taehyung [#11]but they only played together once i doubt thats the reason
if im not mistaken its been more than once

i will just take your word on it
i am not trying to belittle her achievement, because at the end of the day it is still impressive. Just found it a bit odd because when I see clips from her I thought she would be like plat. (not that that is bad or anything)
Sunot [#19]didnt they meme EU and say EU was worse?
it was because of comms coz all EU ppl dont speak perfect english so soyboy americans crying
taehyung [#21]i think it was a meme, but i dont watch streamers much/only watch pros and theyre better than their opponents anyway nor am i from NA so i wouldnt know, but when I watched some of her games, she doesnt play how most immortals in my games play
yeah there is no way she is immortal. Maybe Bronze or Iron at best lol
Sunot [#27]yeah there is no way she is immortal. Maybe Bronze or Iron at best lol
at the end of the day she still hit immortal, which isnt that unimpressive.
i never spent much time in EU plat, but I feel like she would be better than most of the mental patients I have come across there
tezz1 [#26]it was because of comms coz all EU ppl dont speak perfect english so soyboy americans crying
I thought it was because EU Players were constantly memeing NA, so as a joke they just kept memeing themselves

Man I refuse to believe she is immortal. I played cs for almost two decades and there is no way in chance I would ever get into immortal let alone this streamer lol
Sunot [#30]Man I refuse to believe she is immortal. I played cs for almost two decades and there is no way in chance I would ever get into immortal let alone this streamer lol
but she still did, and I dont like discrediting her for it. evidently NA is significantly less skilled than EU when it comes to ranked (while I do still think that hitting Immortal in EU is just a matter of grinding)
LOL you played CS longer than my age (im 17)
taehyung [#25]i think they were just playing for content, and wasnt it like a month ago?
She's just good

LOL you played CS longer than my age (im 17)
yeah but it kind of a cope out. discovered cs in 2000 or 2001, played with bots until 07' played competitively from 08' - 12' then the game died so 13' onwards pubmaster lmao
SETSUZA [#31]don't know why people are surprised. the fact that the kid that plays on controller with only judge is radiant should tell you that mechanical skill is not that important when it comes to climbing ranked in valorant
the only reason i am surprised is because when i see clips of her, I really didnt think she would be immortal but it just seems like na's skill level is low
hacklesacka [#33]from what ive seen of her she isnt bad idk if she deserves immortal but shes definitely diamond atleast
yeah, she isnt, but she isnt someone id look at and be like; "theyre pretty good"
GetsystheGr8 [#35]She's just good
she isnt bad, but i was just surprised because she would never even hit diamond in EU, and I dont know much about NA ranked
taehyung [#41]she isnt bad, but i was just surprised because she would never even hit diamond in EU, and I dont know much about NA ranked
Boosted, as simple as that
quake3arena [#40]it's really not that hard to believe. the vast majority of fps players in any game are not even close to a competitive level, even at immortal. comp is just pugs and it's nothing like how the game is actually supposed to be played.
When I look at Rank Distribution in ranked and Immortal being the top 0.5% of all players, you should expect some sort of mechanical skill. I look at Pokimane and while, yeah - she definetly isn't bad at the game, I would not say she is better than 99.5% of players. (I would guess maybe Plat)
taehyung [#41]she isnt bad, but i was just surprised because she would never even hit diamond in EU, and I dont know much about NA ranked
Yea coz everyone toxic asf in eu
GetsystheGr8 [#44]Yea coz everyone toxic asf in eu
I maybe get one guy in 1/10 games on my team that is toxic. (idk about enemies, because I always mute them)
I was referring to her lack of mechanical skill to be able to stand against EU diamond players. (yes, it's a mental shithole, but some people still have aim)

i hit immortal 3 before i started counter-strafing and i had a 10% headshot percentage at the time

LMAO alright yeah NA ranked is a joke
I am trying my best not to discredit her, but from what I have been hearing in this thread, I really cant keep that up LOL
Sunot [#36]yeah but it kind of a cope out. discovered cs in 2000 or 2001, played with bots until 07' played competitively from 08' - 12' then the game died so 13' onwards pubmaster lmao
did you not switch over to csgo?
taehyung [#48]did you not switch over to csgo?
nah I didnt have a good enough PC back then and when I did I found it too slow movement and community toxic af they can't stand losing 1 round lel.
taehyung [#47]LMAO alright yeah NA ranked is a joke
I am trying my best not to discredit her, but from what I have been hearing in this thread, I really cant keep that up LOL
ranked is a joke but i'm sure it's not exclusive to NA

at the end of the day, ranked is just ranked
quake3arena [#50]ranked is a joke but i'm sure it's not exclusive to NA
Obviously every region's high elo has some people that really dont deserve it (not saying pokimane doesnt deserve it in NA, since evidently everyone is pretty bad) but I feel like in EU most atleast look like they have played the game before, although occasionaly you get some outliers who move like the bots in black ops 2.
quake3arena [#51]at the end of the day, ranked is just ranked
yeah, obviously - but it's the only thing in the game that properly expresses someones skill
Sunot [#49]nah I didnt have a good enough PC back then and when I did I found it too slow movement and community toxic af they can't stand losing 1 round lel.
lol yeah fair enough I guess
i completely forgot how toxic csgo was thanks for reminding me LOL
yessirsedi [#2]shahzam.
They actually lost more games together than win. And he hasn't even been there to boost her to immortal. It seems like she worked pretty hard for it too.
taehyung [#54]lol yeah fair enough I guess
i completely forgot how toxic csgo was thanks for reminding me LOL
I remember I went 2-16 on Vertigo and they(enemy and teammate) were mocking me with my 10 year badge. Bro it hurts hahaha, I wish they at least can come to 1.6 so I can smack them lol.
taehyung [#53]yeah, obviously - but it's the only thing in the game that properly expresses someones skill
watching someone play is probably the best way to see how good they are especially if they are immortal since there is a huge skill disparity in that rank compared to the other ranks
hkim [#55]They actually lost more games together than win. And he hasn't even been there to boost her to immortal. It seems like she worked pretty hard for it too.
yeah she definetly did, thats why i dont agree with the few that actually said this.

yeah that sounds like csgo
i tried playing 1.6 because it was pretty cheap but i keep getting motion sick :)))
quake3arena [#57]watching someone play is probably the best way to see how good they are especially if they are immortal since there is a huge skill disparity in that rank compared to the other ranks
I think that is part of the reason why they changed it back to the way it was in Act 1. But it doesnt change the fact that when someone goes: "Oh, I am immortal" - you kind of expect them to have some level of skill and not the movement of somebody who doesnt know what theyre doing (that's the best way I can describe her movement, I think - she looks lost and reacts slowly to stuff but her aim is alright)
hkim [#61]Maybe she doesn't have the most craziest mechanical skills but it seems like she worked hard to get there. Maybe she was being a good team player and commed well. She also aim trained and stuff like that. I think we should give her some credit for this one.
100% - I am not trying to belittle/discredit her achievement, because it is still impressive, but I was just surprised because watching her made me think she was Plat at best.

Ah I see. She might also do worse when she streams because of nerves.

hkim [#65]Ah I see. She might also do worse when she streams because of nerves.
I would say it's even more impressive doing this while also streaming. She obviously worked hard, but I can assure you she would need to work even harder to do that in EU.
1234567890 [#77]she played with shahz yes, but not all the time. she actually solo queued to diamond, and solo queued many games after playing with shahz as well. she's having fun (I hope) and this is a great accomplishment so I don't see this discussion going any further
Yeah, this is all I wanted to know since I dont watch her myself
I am just getting flamed for being D3 in EU so I am just trying to rectify myself

have u played in both regions?
peppreish [#82]have u played in both regions?
I am comparing the people I play with and spectate with her gameplay and go off of what some people here have said
Shahzam is overrated. I'm more useful then shahzam. If Sentinels take me to the team I can carry with my Jett skills. I'm gold because of bad teammates. I deserve radiant.shahzam is overrated.

I carried pokimane to immortal on my alt account.
FsJaredFan [#7]idk i don't watch pokemon but i've seen lots of pro's play with her so she prolly learned a lot from them at the very least
She only played twice with Shazam on street and lost more than she won.. She mainly solo qs on stream.
