He’s playing against people that farm radiants, as the igl where he will rarely be capable of focusing on taking fights. He’s still High Immortal - Radiant. The average diamond player wouldn’t last in immortal let alone a gold player.

Unless they’re putting on blindfold and turning on inverted controls they don’t “give” anything. According to you that opportunity should never happen there should be no method of gaining an opportunity over a team that just out aims you. Unless you’re insinuating you can create favorable opportunities without pure aim? Which would defeat the entire purpose of what you’re saying…

Cope? I was one of the VERY few people before kickoffs saying NRG were not that good and wouldn’t make a single event… I have no cope for nrg or any of its players lol. FNS won a masters tournament with those mechanics in a time period where the game wasn’t as team and util focused. His mechanics are bad for tier 1 and even majority of tier 2. But they’re not “gold” lol

His mechanics are not up to par with diamond players. Gold is very accurate to his skill level.

Just looked at his tracker. perhaps mid immortal would be more accurate. But also why tf is he perma playing passive as hell on breach/cypher/kj... surely he should make a new account lock in clove and play aggressive and actually get his aim to a reasonable state

The angle FNS is holding outside of C is fine. if FNS holds spawn like Trick says, then he's exposed to A lobby and will die. Trick is dumb lmao

i think your actually clueless, record yourself playing a ranked game and compare just only your crosshair placement. FNS has like 130EDPI and his crosshair placement is more undefined than 1 divided by 0

bro there's a slight delay for the wall to activate. They can run through A lobby and catch FNS watching B.

An A lobby push while FNS is occupied with the B main guys would have killed FNS. It's just a much riskier spot to play compared to his C main hold.

the C spot that fns is playing is also bad tho. most of the time he'll just get cleared and die or at the very best go 1 for 1. playing mound or behind the wall (where omens usually throw the 1-way) would be a much better if you want to spot the flank because you can actually get teammates involved too before you fight.

literally turned the game off after that bonus round

probably the worst first three rounds ive ever watched it tier one and im not exaggerating

the fact that we PICKED LOTUS after losing to furia into a team that is now 8-0 ON LOTUS and had ZERO GAME PLAN on our own FIRST PISTOL ROUND is genuinely embarrassing and just is a terrible sign for this teams capabilities

and even worse bc its FNS’ last year they arent going to drop him

GOLD mechanically?

Let's not be fucking delusional here, I know his aim is bad and shit but like calling him fucking gold in terms of mechanics is crazy. If you see his ranked tracker (https://tracker.gg/valorant/profile/riot/NRG%20FNS%23daddy/overview?platform=pc&playlist=competitive&season=16118998-4705-5813-86dd-0292a2439d90) he still gets decent amount of kills in RADIANT. Don't tell me a gold player would do the same
