realistically:
after activating once, cyphers trip should be destroyed, for example if u skye dog it and it stuns, it should now be gone

make kj only have 1 molly, maybe make the other 2 abilities a bit better to compensate

bring back chambers second trap and maybe tone down the slow radius

spicy take but 4 abilities per agent is too much. 3 would be nice imo

would never happen cuz its so deeply imbedded but i find it nice to think about

true, i think you will like it. I still miss the middle dpi button it was so useful, I used it for my C abilities

mako is forever the controller goat and no one will contend with that anytime soon

You're partially correct, but a good investor will see a team performing badly the exact same as a team consistently performing at 3rd-4th. Because neither are a good investment, if you want a good % return you need to go for the best, otherwise its always wise to invest into other companies. It sorta ties into why the esports model is kinda flawed but thats a different discussion

The year is 2070. Whzy is retired living peacefully in the Chinese countryside with his children and grandchildren. But then one night a loud noise can be heard in the distance, slowly approaching and increasing in amplitude, Whzy goes outside to investigate, only to find VLR user Simp4S0m screaming 'WHY, HOW COULD YOU'. Whzy pleads with Simp4S0m to calm down, but he's having none of it, he's too far gone on the path of vengeance, im too lazy to write more icl u get the point

also winning trophies will pay way more indirectly, you will bring in more investors and current shareholders are gonna be happy to give you more capital thats probably worth way more than being consistently 3-4th

this has gotta become the standard

i agree wit u in principle, but in practice the prize money gets trickled down into barely anything per player and is probably negligible unless u can repeat it over something insane like 10 years

2 weeks ago for sure, but idk anymore Beyn was kinda being slept on. its 50/50 imo

i want both of them to win. But DRX(ish) been there since day 1, grind deserves to be rewarded

PRX scare me man, they always look so good then drop form in an instant, I really wanna see them win but it feels like if they take losses really badly. That being said no losing this time #WGAMING

Hopefully 2 years is right, I think they'll arguably have an advantage over the 2021 non CN teams since they can probably get high quality practice in the form of scrimming APAC teams. More competition is better for everyone after all.

I don't watch the CN games, but on first thought it seems a really long way away, like pacific is finally looking like theyll >95% win a trophy after 3 years (arguably tbf)
so does anyone who watches CN have any insight?

nvm took them 4 months well done

might be biased (flair) but yh i agree, I think single elim is fine but should be BO5 maybe for all elim/qual matches. People will hate the format no matter what, there are always pros and cons, but for an odd number of teams I think this was the best they could do.

wait rly? damn so basically everything ive said is yap oops

yup

There was a whole row over GENG recognising the state of Taiwan a while back.

this is an equally valid take, its just a difference of opinion. In my subjective opinion believe restoring the old system should be tried before nuking it, and then perhaps you try build around Ethan and Demon1 (new coach, and 2-3 players). In it's current state I think what they've done is take the worst of both worlds

ok calling someone u dont know delusional for characters they wrote on the internet is a bit far id think but whatever.
its never as straight forward as best players = best team, current NRG is literally the best example of this, even fnatic who I take every chance to glaze, aren't performing. This is cuz its about the internal coaching system, changing chet and FNS' 2 and 1/2 year system is a drastic change, and they clearly haven't adjusted well, could a FNS system work with demon1? yeah sure, but it's already been tried and tested with yay, so why take the risk?

good point, it might even be that they aren't allowed to play so DRX get in automatically, kind of what happened with FPX and liquid ages ago

whatever contract he has its gotta be bare bones, he doesnt have to put g2 on his socials or anything, also you could also do a 'loan'. but im not too sure of these types of things ngl

hmm, why down on marved? besides the recent slump im not really convined that hes that bad ngl. with that being said lets assume hes gone;
i think in a scenario where only 1 of the EG players is benched it'd be demon1, imo Ethan is just more versatile. but at the end of the day if poolchan comes back he'll have final say

they need to bring shanks back yeah

FNS stocks are high on him to return to NRG
bleed found scrimming without y0y so he might be getting dropped

perfect chance to rebuild optic roster??
only thing is it would be a hard bargain to drop ethan and demon1

tbh that og roster was actually kinda goated
wonder what happened to keloqz he seemed like a rly hot prospect

0 for y0y???? need to get those numbers up huh

fr, I don't think he even wanted to come to valorant, iirc it was around when GENG left cs cuz of covid, I think he probably couldn't find a position back (all speculation)

i wanna see mine pls

i think im out of the loop, why is the org considered bad?

fair enough, nice to hear he isn't considered a 'traitor' as some people were saying when he signed initially

idk about being better than loud, but the grudge thing is true imo

nah mini's the goat, hes consistently kept fnatic as one of the top teams, even from when the game wasn't as well defined, fnatic have been a mid-top tier team, in 2022 they just got mega unlucky cause of visas and stuff cause of braveaf and covid.

but the idea is cool as hell dont get me wrong

idk where I heard this so it could be crap, but I remember seeing somewhere that riot wanna completely avoid putting players or names of players in game, cuz itll be there forever and if said player does some fucked up shit itll be rly annoying, think mcree in OW

wait nvm i completely disregarded the other games going on

Wait I might be wrong but is it not between G2 and SEN from that group?

What's the consensus? do you want to let SEN in playoffs or nah

I think C9 and G2 are valid B tier teams or it might just be me idk

bro 💀

make a statue or a spray of this i beg

idk man, after lev got 6 rounds on map 2 it became meaningless so it became rly hard to be engaged with it

model o/d is solid

hard agree. my family goes pakistan often, and my neighbours india; yet we get along really well. But when I go visit family in cities in pakistan they seem to have a distorted view, even family in rural pakistan have no issues with indians

even stuff like pani puri is common in pakistan now, and im sure nihari for india too. but thats based off of personal experience

we share the same food, few exceptions with diet but it all has the same roots

and wtf is the point of the second part
