I understand being biased on local native language broadcasts, in fact I actually like it more when those casters are biased because it's more hype and you know that everyone watching that stream is cheering for their team. But you can't be biased like that when you are doing an INTERNATIONAL stream for an international audience. Everyone is watching that stream, not just people from your country. You can say that you are supporting someone because you are simply a fan or because they are from the same country as you, but you can't make it affect the broadcast.

nice post lmao i would go with the anime release order, even though it may not be the originally intended order, most people watched it that way so that's what I did

i dont care, i just need boom to win now lol

true rito indie company

Overhyped my fucking ass. Go ask some of top 8 teams in SEA and they'll definitely say we could be a contender for the masters slot. We are scrimming them on 120+ ping and making it close and even beating them. Every top SEA team we have scrimmed has high respect for us knowing the damage we can do on the ping we have yet alone what we would do on low ping. We are not like Bonkers or Soniqs and it takes one vod review to see that. I hope to change all your minds when the time comes but for now have some respect on our names.

mocking

its scrims tho

someone explain please

the problem with this is larger than esports, it means that riot is allowing foreign orgs to come in and run the region without having an intrinsic interest in local talent and the local scene because they are only in it for the easy slot. it means that local orgs will basically have no chance to grow and become bigger and to stop being dogshit like X10 were because at this point, they are no competition for the bigger and richer foreign orgs. I get that it can be kinda cringe to say this and get more political into it but, this is literally the same in concept as colonialism, just on a smaller scale. I'm not saying if this happens, then it will literally be the return of colonialism because it won't, it's just a video game, but in concept, it is the same thing.

although I do agree that it is good for the players, it is not good for the scene as a whole

can you take your time to appreciate how insane mwzera is? without a doubt the most talented player to ever touch the game

I'll try to explain briefly why I think he is the best player in the world
Despite his insane aim and movement
The best way to know if a player is a good duelist is RAZE. There is a BIG difference between a good duelist and a jett abuser
If he is a good duelist, he needs to be good with raze.

heat? not good with raze
aspas? not good with raze
xand? not good with raze
tenz? not good with raze
cned? not good with raze
scream? not good with raze
d3ffo? not good with raze
derke? not good with raze

Thats why I think he is undoubtely the best player in the world. If RIOT by any means decides to nerf jett and shift the meta we prolly not gonna even hear names like cned and tenz again :>
He is not killing 40+ per map because when he joined VK he was forced to play a different role because heat is already a main jett... and lets be honest, every single duelist nowadays gets 20+ kills per map because team and setups are basically built around you (even steel managed to get 20 kills with it https://www.vlr.gg/29398/sentinels-vs-100-thieves-champions-tour-north-america-stage-3-challengers-playoffs-gf/?game=46692&tab=overview)

only 10 teams is so fucking stupid

yea i didn't mention it cus t2 ow is pretty much dead viewership wise so I just ignored the t3 part, there is still a lot of talent from t2 tho

tree bundle is top 1

he wasn't actually a pro tho, he was known as a streamer who was a cracked prodigy ranked demon

hope ur next bait is better than this dud

what fucking slow targets lmao, OW characters fucking jump around across the map all the time and you literally move while shooting in that game

the thing is that even though the models are much larger, they are also inconsistent throughout the cast the characters move way faster and they move all the time because you can shoot and move at the same time. so players have to be able to shoot moving targets while they themselves are moving. OW is also a much faster game, I don't think CS is particularly tougher or easier in general when compared to OW, but I think OW is a much more intense game because there's always something happening so players have to be focused the whole time. this is one of the reasons why players burn out so fast and one of the complaints people have for OW as a spectator sport, aside from the fucking lack of content, of course.

nah he will 100% struggle to find a team if he goes back, OWL is franchised and by now all the teams have finalized their rosters, and any team that wants to find new players won't be looking towards players like zombs who never made it to tier 1 overwatch and haven't played for 2-3 years

nah ur actually just stupid

Q: does he deserve all the hype around him

only 10 teams is dogshit. we've been complaining for the longest time that there aren't enough teams in masters and now riot just decides that the regional franchised leagues that will play for an entire will have even fewer teams. wtf is this

Oregairu
Monogatari Series
Jojo

Morbius

yea he gets like 20k to 30k consitently

Zeta had one cinderella run and now all of a sudden Japan is the best region? Even better than Korea? No way dude, just because Zeta may be the best team in Asia and has the best result doesn't mean the whole region is at their level. Zeta did not play as well as they played in Reykjavik locally and were still way better than everyone else in Japan. Japan was a one-team region even before Zeta became elite the rest of the region has not shown that they are nearly as good. Now that Zeta is elite, they can definitely catch up, but you can not say the rest are as good because Zeta improved outside of the region. Both Korea and SEA have had better results and have sent more great teams internationally.

Warriors win in game 7

I only watch val and ow nowadays and sometimes cs when there are big games. ow is really fun to watch when you understand whats going on and the game isn't as bad as ppl say it is guys I swear, also blizzard are shit at marketing

ptc stuck in traffic lmao
edit: ok i didn't realize that he actually took a break

W sleepy

wannafly cracked tho no cap

JohnOlsen - duelist
sScary - controller
foxz - initiator/IGL
PTC - flex
sushiboys - sentinel

Coach - Zeus
I wanna put in some other less known players as well but I trust the xerxia and full sense guys more in international competition

This question is just completely irrelevant tbh. Top valorant players play valorant, not quake. And even the former cs players shouldn't be compared to cs players anymore because that's not their game anymore. The discussion is irrelevant because these players succeeded in valorant because they understand the valorant-specific aspects of the game on top of having great mechanics. It's also basically impossible to answer the question anyway because there is no relevant metric to measure mechanical skill that encompasses all the different skills like flicking, tracking, and movement altogether. So there's no way to reliably answer the question aside from the eye test which is inherently biased because they are different games and these different games have different mechanics and fundamentals.

not everybody's first language is English dude

rare isaax W

yea i kind of hope that foreign orgs with more money can pick these players up so that they can stay in the scene. there are a bunch of players who are considering retirement but are clearly still good. i don't like that it may cause the development of the apac region to slow down, but I really want these players to stay

yea he said he this was his last year because competing is too exhausting and the pay is not good in sea. he has a degree in general chemistry so he's probably somewhat set.

yh foxz said himself on stream that pati played by himself more and surf plays with the team more which he did not say which style he liked more as the igl he just said that both were really good and different in their own way

nah ur just nitpicking, these titles are alright. why would you want to read plain, boring, and typical titles instead of reading ones that grab your attention
