is Kiles not in tier 1, he's made ascension 2 years in a row and has been quite consistent

that day is wretched for me because I decided to make a vlr account

lets see

KOI Demon1 is coming

I hope we get official MVP's for Masters tournaments next year
But getting an award should remain for Champs

PRX are still good enough to make it happen, I just don't think its probable anymore

I trusted PRX from 2021-2024, at this point I don't see them going much further unless they directly address their role issues, and even then it'd take a while for them to get back on their feet (I'd be happy to see them win, but I just don't believe in it happening anymore).
GENG have been playing peak Valorant since the start of 2024 and don't seem to be stopping with their new roster, and T1 look miles ahead of where they were last year, and they were still an upper-mid team in 2024

ACEND ARE YOUR VALORANT CHAMPIONS WINNERS

I'd focus on mechanics until you hit plat
it might be a bit boring but spamming deathmatch is a decent way (assuming that you'll identify your errors and adapt, which is a skill in its self)

aren't you from brazil
why do you hate your country so much

true but I gotta be ICE COLD 🥶🥶

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

nah my account is still level 15

I mostly agree tbh
but it doesn't sit right with me that winning split 2 > winning masters 1

ok here is the plan https://i.imgur.com/l9OktN6.png

see you in immortal

bro just spawned with a downvote

he's shite on split and bind tho isnt he

I give up playing duelist
(info non flash) initiator is my calling, what agents for what maps

im from uzbekistan and my favorite team is m3c

How did they deal with it in league?
afaik in the league shop you get a decent amount of skins per week so demand for this type of thing must've been lower
as for val 4 things daily is very small, even when you take in to account the difference between the number of skins in each game

I think they'll probably revamp the whole daily shop, that'd be the easiest way

Gifting skins is coming. This is cool but I can 100% see people creating 3rd party sites to sell skins for an upmarked price (If this feature allows you to gift daily shop skins)

😳

you can't hide it anymore, welcome to FNATIC

give me a faker title in the BP so I can represent the goat

icl I really don't like the shooting sound
the rest of it is alright. But yeah a reload animation could've been nice, I think the neo frontier phantom's reload would kind of suit this

Asuna's aim is pretty interesting

holy W that is clean

Got it! Here’s a simple, easy-to-understand version:

"Riot says their anti-cheat works, but you're linking a Swiftplay tracker like it proves anything. All you're showing is that you don't know the difference between skill and cheating."

That keeps it clear, like explaining it to someone who's new to the game!

there's a few more things in the arsenal
https://www.vlr.gg/412669/what-comedic-thing-is-gonna-happen-to-nrg-this-yea

I know league has history and stuff but I really want to see val get bigger artists (not to say the ones we get are small, but league gets HUGE ones Linkin Park, NewJeans, Lil nas X)
League also had: Imagine Dragons in their 4th year (1st time there was a song)

I think its temporary, idk what the reasons are

What I wanna see is a CS mode where everyone gets the same util. For example you could have the option to buy of 4/5 of:

2x KAYO flashes
1x Raze nade (nerfed to one explosion)
1x Brim smoke (Could make the inside of the smoke opaque)
1x Molly (Probably a nerfed brim molly, but there's plenty in the game to pick from)

I love how they brought back die for you last year and (to a lesser extent) this year, I think they could maybe do something with that as a starting point

Something worlds does which is also cool sometimes is play a modified version of the current worlds theme for the GF victory music. It sort of feels like the team 'owns' the song.
Like take GODS for example, it feels like T1's song, whereas say Fire Again doesn't really feel like it has anything to do with LOUD. But either that or a modified version of die for you for a victory song would be hype for me ngl

when given the choice to attack either fnatic or heretics you go for heretics now... interesting

Looking at what they've done so far I'm inclined to agree, but I'm hesitant to count TE out since they played 3/4 maps close with GENG and T1
I'll put down TE/Wolves

Never say never
next thing we know +vanity as a content creator

unfortunately yes

AMER:

• G2
• NRG

EMEA:

• TH
• FNC (I was thinking of putting VIT, but I think Sayf will need some time to find his footing as an IGL, and a meta change is probably when that would happen, and I don't expect the meta to change too much until Split 1 (Also I'm biased))

APAC:

• GENG
• T1 (They've been cooking the off season)

CN:

• EDG
• TE/Wolves (A bit unfamiliar with the region tbh)

Going off of just the off season (not really reliable) I think they're probably favourites for Bangkok
past that hard to say

I am NOT down there playing in your gold lobbies

except 1 thing

I think yay would've still been successful on Jett (as he was before Chamber came out), sure maybe not to the same extent as he was on Chamber, but still at a trophy contending level imo
