Yay has gained lots of haters but I want him to know that he is loved by members of the community and we know he can come back and preform at his old level. We will wait for our king to ascend back to his throne, it might take a while, but we will always stand behind him.
We love you yay, dont late the haters bring you down more than they already have. You were player of the year in 2022 for a reason, theres a reason why you were the best player in the world, far above everyone else, and its not because of playing a broken character, it was because you yourself are an amazing player. Youve been delt a bad hand thus far in 23 and 24, but we all support and love you.
Good luck today yayster, we believe in you! even if you dont win, we will still stand behind you, because we know that you are trying your best <3<3<3
Yay support thread
The last 3 teams were fucked after yay joined. What is the common denominator?
C9 - "roles issues" benched after 2 games, followed by trademarked yay whiny tweets.
DSG - famous haven door clip led to him fully blaming steel for everything, destroying the roster by bringing back his toxic buddy exalt and being toxic af afterwards (bind clip)
BLEED - Worse stats than the coach who subbed for him against Zeta in the kickoff game, after he was partially responsible for getting 2 guys kicked. Now his weirdo Americas friendos start to blame LEGIJA (the guy with better stats on breach as yay on raze)
Hardcarried by crashies, marved, FNS, victor. We should herald those 4 as valorant gods for making this guy look great for holding angles with the most overpowered agent in the history of Valorant. DSG yay is his average performance. Any random radiant could replace him at this point, play with his name and no one would notice, or they would notice him suddenly hitting things again.
mCe spoke about the c9 stuff on a podcast, basically saying role issues played a part but the main issue was money. so lets forget about that and all the players + mCe spoke highly of yay after.
DSG were struggling before he joined, and had a terrible coach. w/ bleed I see many issues now, but the guy should be fragging way more vs bottom of pacific.
does it mean yay would never shine again under a good system? hell no, i can see him going on KJ and frying everyone again. I can see him being good under a great system but honestly i dont blame any teams if they dont wanna give him a chance after what happened.
Yeah, he wont be chamber level good, cuz that agent was busted. but he can still be great top tier player under the right system.
but the main issue was money.
nah money isnt an issue for c9 as an org, they just dont care about valo enough to invest in it. just look at how much they spend for players in their cs roster, they paid 2 mil for electronic and perfecto right after everyone was saying they were broke last year xDD mce just cant admit the org doesnt care
Well, let's consider that they bought the gambit cs roster, made their trades, then bought a VCT spot, and then signed the most high-profile player in NA (at the time) for what would presumably be a high-paying salary. Even if they had a lot of money before all of that, they can't just spontaneously generate the revenue they would need to try to break-even for the year. It doesn't help that through all of those investments, they had 1 tournament win with their CS roster before getting Perfecto and electronic, and no results for their valorant squad, outside of a pretty successful regular season in vct.
All in all, the org took on a high amount of risk over a pretty short period of time, with barely any results to help attract more sponsors and/or merch sales.
idgaf about what mCe said about the org or about yay, I also don't care what some russian on vlr says while unironically using xD in 2024.
stop with the coping already its been more than 2 years already and he was trash all of this time he is washed up he belong in tier 2 his current PEAK performance in t1 is average for everyone else y'all get this or not smh. He isn't a "goat", he isn't consistent , he rarely succesfully entries , has way more FD than FK as a duelist , on top of that if u put him on anythins else than duelist he looks like a typical D1 with good aim, hence why he is not flexible he,s one dimensional , he sticks to all the op angles and still loses there is no saving point for him, he was GOOD when the whole team was AMAZING and was playing AROUND HIM and its not like he was the main contributor the team was playing in a way to ALLOW him to get kills and play agressive whilst also being ahead of the meta for a while , ever since he went to a team that couldn't give him every resource and way of getting kills like envy/optic did bcs they knew how to abuse op chamber and jett at the time, he FAILED. individually he never achieved or showed anything special outside of one of the best teams at the time
Seeing him play in Bleed he honestly ain't that bad, he managed to get 2 aces (albeit not against the strong teams) but his team just....sucks. I was excited to see how Bleed would perform in franchise after they won ascension, but the decisions made so far by the org are just disappointing.
Putting yay on flex for kick off, and then after their poor performance kicked their IGL and top fragging sentinel player? Like seriously? We're not here setting up yay to make plays, and the answer was to swap players? Then after we put yay into duelist we are STILL not setting him up properly?? Like hello???
The fact that they STILL don't put him on chamber is crazy, like his jett performances weren't even bad at all, whenever he is on the raze he starts inting, and just so you know even since the C9 days yay is yet to go negative on chamber, the nerfed chamber, in DSG even he picked him once and top fragged, on C9 he picked chamber a bunch of times and always performed well, on BLEED there isn't even a chance given, Forget the meta bro BLEED you all are shit, don't come with this "BUT WE NEED TO PLAY THE META" You are not good enough to worry about meta picks, worry about macro and micro play first, then you can start thinking about the meta, is it that crazy for me to say that you shouldn't bend the team roles around the meta composition when you are a bottom tier team? let yay play what he's good on, put dereyon on raze or whatever he plays-
Boy oh boy where do I even begin. Yay.. honey, my pookie bear. I have loved you ever since I first laid eyes on you. The way you dash into the site and strike fear into your enemies eyes. Your silky smooth shots around with the operator, and that gorgeous util usage. I would do anything for you. I wish it were possible to freeze time so I would never have to watch you retire.You had a rough year, but you never gave up hope. You are even amazing off the game, you're a great teammate and friend, sometimes I even have wet dream about you. I forvever dread and weep, thinking of the day you will one day retire. I would sacrifice my own life it were the only thing that could puta smile on your beautiful face.You have given me so much joy, and heartbreak over the years. I remember when you first left Optic and its like my heart got broken into a million pieces. But a tear still fell from my right eye when I watched you win your first win in Reykajivik, because deep down,my glorious king deserved it. I just wanted you to return home. Then allas, you did, my sweet baby boy came home and I rejoiced. 2023 was a hard year for us baby, but in 2024 you will make history happen. Not only have you changed the game of valorant and the world forever, but you've eternally changed my world. And now you're getting older, but still the goat, my goat. I love you pookie bear, my glorious king, Jacob Whiteaker.
