yay thoughts

I don't get what the problem is with yay telling ghengsta to stop playing 2021 valorant in 2023. If you watch the optic/nrg behind the scenes clips, the team culture yay came from was being brutally honest about mistakes, because that's the way you fucking win majors. Nothing yay said in that clip was demeaning; it was a brutally honest problem.

If the bribe was true, that would be entirely indefensible. But let's think about this. Who in their right mind would be so stupid as to actually try to do that??? That discord screenshot means nothing. We need something more concrete to take that seriously. Like if this was serious, why the fuck would you include it in a "by the way" manner with a scrim clip being the highlight of the thread? Like what? I'm willing to accept that ghengsta is just a complete moron and that concrete evidence will surface, but until then it's just not likely.

And why are we listening to Steel's thoughts on this? Bro literally took bribes to blatantly throw in CS. Who is he to talk about any of this? I actually appreciate Steel's knowledge of the game and I find his casts informative and funny, but he is the last guy to talk on bribing issues.

tldr: yay did nothing wrong in the scrim clip, bribe accusation is missing evidence, and Steel should not be talking about bribes

who tf takes a picture of a call as evidence of bribery

I actually remember some behind the scenes from optic where yay straight up told his team they were playing dogshit after a loss, and clearly that wasn’t a problem for optic
I think yay didn’t really adapt to the culture on this new team

if ppl believe in the bribe with that picture as evidence, then they have brain damage lol

Like if this was serious, why the fuck would you include it in a "by the way" manner with a scrim clip being the highlight of the thread?

I would be willing to bet that Ghengsta was just scrolling through logs to find something to shit on yay with and saw the msg, was reminded of the messages and decided to misconstrue the nature of the 10k comment. They both probably knew yay was joking about it, but ghengsta thought he could use it to make Yay look bad.

Don't have any evidence for that, just a gut feeling.

that's what i just said lmao. glad im not the only one

if ghengsta was mad about yay losing his temper while being down 10-1 on a scrim with no good communication then motherfucker is petty as shit

did the coach say anything about it today?

i mean... people argue about him just being harsh but he literally said "I'm throwing" and this was just in a scrim

that just screams toxic lmao
