i was thinking sacy sova for sure right
sacy was insane on recon inish
also sacy was incredible on sova for 3 straight years
leo was good but 2022 and 2024 weren't good years for his team

yes but in the upper half of ranked (like gold+) omen has much higher winrate
the opposite is true for sage for example, where sage has actually incredible winrate in low elo

walling also takes a long time (compared to viper walls) so ur just holding utility a lot of the time so youre not really getting active

at the highest level of play i feel like harbor is underrated, but fragging as harbor is really hard since you have no utility to help yourself get kills. you cant even peek through your walls.

Right now, something like this is probably the best you can buy:

but realistically if you want to spend 4k on a pc wait for 5090 release

ah yes
the famed 4 senti comp

"Nongshim RedForce (Korean: 농심 레드포스) is a Korean team owned by food and beverage company Nongshim."

wait so like the instant noodles

benjamin david fish

i for one welcome our new pheonix overlords

haven c long never forget

katie won sob

im sorry i dont understand what you mean lol
you get points for beating teams during season, for placement in domestic playoffs, and for placement at international events'
also if sen didnt get top 3 they could still qual by lcq if they won?

i agree that consistency is what makes a better team overall
but i watch valorant for the content goddamnit
the 0-9 team going on a run and winning lcq was funny as fk

okay but lcq qualifies the team that is peaking at the time and makes good storylines
plus it's a tournament style event where there's actually a reward for being 1st
in 2024 the playoffs didn't matter as long as you made top 3 so grand final didnt even matter

yeah i agree

yeah really excited to see him play tier 2
they play next week!

I'm not saying flor would win in tier 1 or tier 2 necessarily
there is still obviously a gap between tier 1 and gc
but some people say flor individually would get destroyed by tier 2 or tier 3 teams
yes, SR tend to lose in open quals to tier 3 teams, but i think flor individually is good enough to at least be given a solid chance in tier 2
like i just looked through her match history and she literally has played several games on co-ed teams/with SR vs tier 2 or tier 3 teams in the past 6 months

Obviously a lot of these are minor tier 3 events against a lot of not very renown players so I don't think this is too reliable but just look:

I cherry picked a few games against teams with people that i recognise on the other team.
https://www.vlr.gg/371984/ambrosia-vs-sad-purple-funhaver-x-rok-run-it-back-playoffs-qf (versus ambrosia, who are literally in tier 2 rn. flor +20)
https://www.vlr.gg/399065/royexakim1-vs-asians-n-kehm-bell-esports-challenge-2024-sf (vs acrian, kehmicals, jowa, spoof, ion2x. flor +11)
https://www.vlr.gg/371985/burger-boyz-2-0-vs-sad-purple-funhaver-x-rok-run-it-back-playoffs-sf (vs burger boyz. flor +26, 300 acs)
https://www.vlr.gg/399067/seangares-kittens-vs-royexakim1-bell-esports-challenge-2024-gf (vs beanann, lear, logan, kinetic, bobbert. flor +8)
https://www.vlr.gg/406414/fluffy-aimers-vs-shopify-rebellion-the-funhaver-invitational-fight-or-flight-2-ro16 (vs paincakes, mummay, jonaaa6, kaoticcc, welyy. flor +13, 330 acs)

There's also random games where she just shits on people:
https://www.vlr.gg/371690/sad-purple-vs-sen-shahzam-funhaver-x-rok-run-it-back-groups-winners-f (idk any players on the other team, but flor is +41)

Now I'm not saying shitting on tier 3 teams = shitting on tier 2 teams
and i'm pretty sure flor will stay in GC cause its a better and more stable environment
and i agree that flor remains largely unproven
but i'm just sayin if we saw a random 17 year old out there putting up those numbers in tier 3 it could be a sort of perc30fishfillet scenario
just sayin'

I just wanna be the first to say that this piece of music is a masterpiece. When Prettyboyjay comes in, I'm honestly blown away. I was having a pretty rough week but this song and specifically this verse got me through the tough times. I just wanna say thank you and don't stop what you're doing. Mad respek fam mans is icy wagwan mid ballup fam feelin bless up my crodie. Big ups 💯🥶

fns just needs 4 shooters

hes gonna havoc

you can't always buy more utility, it depends on agent
on omen, sage, kj (defense) it matters
but sometimes (kj attack, for example) utility really isnt that important and i think it justifies buying a ghost
or there's times when you buy utility that costs exactly 300 (2 shocks when playing sova on defense) and then it becomes a pure consideration of ghost vs classic light shield (in that money isnt a consideration)
i'd say overall it depends more on your agent, the utility you're buying and situation you're playing than like percentages (i think theres some statistic out there that classic is statistically the best purchase on pistol round?? )

ok we knew this a month ago just announce bonkar already

babybay is 30 😭
i know fns is like 32
but like still 😭

astra should be in s i think
clove is probably a bad lurker (in the context of single controller)
but realistically it all depends on the situation
i think that taking good timings during defaults for example on agents that aren't necessarily that good at lurking is fine
it also sort of depends on utlility and game state
i think its fine to lurk as traditionally non lurk agents if youve already used your important utility
for example if omen used blind early for control, or if sova used dart and/or drone early

how long did it take for you to get radiant since starting val and do you have any previous experience in fps titles?

istg people will call anything baiting
like when you're running into the bombsite, you dont need to be right next to your teammate fighting the exact same things as them all the time in order to be effective
you can come out and full hold an angle so that they can clear other spots without having to worry about a dangerous angle and thats fine

OPTIC RAHHHH
RUN IT BACK

GL CRASHIES
sad to see him go :(

they show replays after the round from different povs sometimes
also it would be insane if riot did not at all record all the povs for official reviews and technical stuff

ik it better be freaking good
im just wondering why in the past 4 years why riot couldn't have released a stopgap replay system which is just the 10 povs
like in officials, we know riot already records the povs
why can't they release those so that we can watch them?

on god like i dont even need a full csgo type replay system i swear even just a recording of all 10 povs would be good enough for like 90% of what i want to do

BOMB BOMB BOMB BOMB

NOOOOO PLEASEEEE HAVE MERCY

good changes next season but can we replace stage 2 playoffs with an lcq

i just want to see what fns can do with 4 shooters man

+ potter + jawg
(- crashies)
win champs

i mean, boostio has igled and won vs prx before
(admittedly on a different team, but against the same prx toster)

get to 11 rounds and then throw
go to map 3
lose map 3 by a larger margin

(sen are still not making playoffs)

DAVID CLEARS

oh wow okay that's pretty cool i didn't know that

wait xccurate is forsaken's brother???

pretty sure its a laptop so not very many options

currently: bronze 1 (boosted by my duo (didnt want to play with me anymore))
peak: peak on my own was iron 2
i might've done a little trolling though

i mean eg only started having major successes with that comp recently (past month or so) and there wasn't that much time for a major time to swap comps
nrg tried i guess

that game was legitimately the first pro valorant match i ever watched it was actually wild lmao

i'll give you my account i've been stuck in iron 1 for the past 2 years
