"they're bad" and "they played bad" are two very different sentences, i suggest u go back to school

also clearly since nrg played badly at the start of masters split it makes them bad now off the logic that if u place bad u are just bad

i mean, fair enough but still who asked, like why do u let someone else's life and decisions effect u so much, stay on your hustle don't try to bring other's hustles down man smh

if she does or doesn't support them, who asked

that's what he does in the end.

she's for the streets, keep your chin up

good for you

i also did some extra research and it showed the "no emea team other than fnatic has beaten NA" but navi made it to top 4 of lock/in so clearly they beat some NA teams given some weren't in top 4, like the logic is just sad at that point, it doesn't matter what region u play against, u win or lose games, it's that simple, this whole "region is better" is just people who have way too much external pride due to their region rather than actually just supporting a team and sticking with them.

that u can argue absolutely anything and just because it can be argued for doesn't make it right or truthful

Yes, XQC is a twitch reject, i forgot.

i checked his channel and he hasn't put an actual video up in 4 months though, i see his shorts 24/7 and they are somewhat informative but it's something anyone even without knowing much about fitness would know like "oh there's a difference in being a gym creep etc" which is where he started doing shorts off, i think the most recent one i found was him making a video on which creatine was better for gaIns, to 99% of his viewers that won't matter, just hits me as the same typa advice smtn like the fitness channels which focus on the "1% improvements" who also say stuff like "if u don't do this, your missing out" to introduce fomo and make them buy your program, etc the whole industry is just so odd to me when it comes to ppl like that, i don't like people like that given i just wanna exercise, idc about getting the best physique etc so it doesn't appeal to me

i could on top of this all argue the NRG excuse that "lock/in wasn't valid event bc no one could prep for it" but of course someone who supports NA wouldn't want to bring up the fact that their own "best team in the region right now" was arguing because they couldn't prep for an event, if u only look at facts from 1 side, u will get a 1 sided opinion, that's how it works

i swear people like u are just so lost on what matters, u refused to answer the question with mindless facts about regions and current performance, while also acting as though it was relevant to what i said, didn't answer the question i asked and genuinely still think u have an argument, but i'll entertain it anyway

Argument 1, "TL Navi and Fut weren't able to beat a single pacific/america's team" 1st of all, TL played EG who currently look 2nd/3rd best in the world due to standings, same with NRG who they played lower bracket, Same exact thing happened with FUT only they had to play EG and then DRX, 2 world class S tier teams, Same exact thing happened with navi only they were playing against EDG instead of an S tier team, a team which is prep heavy went against a team they have seen legitimately nothing of because they are a completely new team, u can argue that Navi just played badly as well, everyone has off days fair enough

the argument that "America's in much stronger with more depth" may be true, but once again, the evidence that u use to corroborate that is the 2nd and 3rd best team ITW right now beat them.

u can say whatever u want as proof, but try to make evidence that actually makes any logical sense at all in the future, it took me 10 minutes of research to break your points in 2 and make them invalid.

so they played bad, what does that show?

it's the same as i say about aim, if u need to be flashy u don't have the fundamentals to back up good aim, if u don't do well in real games u look good in scrims because u likely show strats in scrims that u go ahead and use in real games, it's just not a positive way to actually measure if a teams good

idk noel but isn't sean just one of those youtubers who capitalizes off saying stuff is wrong rather than actually just giving sound advice

emea having the best team in the world doesn't = everyone else in the region being bad, it just shows them as bad because the best team in the world rn is in their region, everyone in NA looked horrible compared to optic, everyone in Pacific looked horrible when DRX was good and so forth.

also how many times do people need to prove that scrims mean absolutely nothing will it take to prove to you ppl it doesn't show their real form in actual events

furia beating levi with all the internal issues they are having (allegedly) is kinda cope imo

something which is difficult is going into a completely new team and saying bye to "the best player itw" at the time because u make the realisation that he isn't meshing with the team well, or because of money issues, or because of whatever reason u wanna make up in your head, and he still made it work, that takes real talent imo

i mean it's easy to adjust to a new meta given u have 5 world class players, it's easy to create new strats which other teams cannot run, especially with agents others don't run purely because your players win aim duels, it's not difficult to do that imo

may as well do it in case, no down side for me

if they do or don't, it's what was gonna happen anyway my words don't effect anything

no official stream because the streams are purposefully given out to the biggest valorant watchers in the continent i thought no, for example spain is lembo, italian sparkler for the fokus game and they switch between some of the biggest streamers in the area on a game to game basis, i thought everyone knew that's how it works

Edit: this might not be officially sponsored or endorsed by riot, but it's not hard to figure out

cool but who asked

agree that kk needs a better team

unironically, will hopefully be a very nice game, given EG beat PRX, even if it's fnatic vs prx i expect a good game, no way to lose here, pretty nice.

if anything ardiis is the matchfixer here

sliggy said and i quote "coaches are hard to guage, i think a good coach is a coach who can take 2 completely different teams and make both amazing" (like MCE with guard and c9 for example) and i wholeheartedly agree, it's easy to make amazing players good, i would argue it's the same with onur, he took 2 pretty average teams (Kru and Leviatan) and made them very very close to top tier teams, imo that is what makes a "good coach"

at least your self aware

bro has the sauce, he's been waiting for this post his entire life.

it's kinda crazy how so many people are jealous of regions because they deadass have the best team itw at that point, next year when nrg or eg or whoever it is looks better, na will be 1 team region, then it'll be apac with drx or paper rex or some other shit, yall gotta chill man

i ain't reading allat

hell yeah, look up smii7y if u wanna see gameplay, might need to search specifically for the game tho, it looks hella good

someone doesn't live online and blud says "weak personality" nah blud it's the opposite

what is blud waffling

we read more than the first sentence, u just didn't read anything before making an opinion, stop deflecting

MOST SANE VLR.GG USER

i agree with this

Not against Fnatic, but their Ult economy, their incredible ability to win 14/14 on 1st or 2nd round so far, they are 12/14 on PISTOLS but when they lose the pistol, they win the 2nd to get adv back to themselves, then on top of that they are one of the only teams who you actively expect to win 3rd right now, on top of that there's the teamplay aspect they have between each other and the trading, i think those are the biggest reasons for why they are so good rn, in order.

bro optic couldn't even beat yay feeling like he wanted to leave how would they beat fnatic with em

if EG beat fnatic on fracture, i will be sold on it. (i'm a fan of both help idk what to do)

ironically this comment is funny now due to loud getting shit on

That's fair to say, but the point I'm making isn't about how good they are or how good they could be, it's about the possibilities that other top tier teams that are hungry for the trophy will find and take advantage of, i've noticed sometimes on haven, for example EG knew that TL was coming a first round for some reason, i couldn't tell u but if u look at the vod of it, at 1:50 in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWIO1JfMmP4 demon1 runs out the smoke without anything, then jawgemo and ethan push short late as the sova does nothing on long and they just get bailed out because c0m hits probably one of the nuttiest clips of the year so far, put a team like nrg or fnatic in tl's shoes and they decimate that hold from EG, because it was frankly awful

yeah and when people said "fnatic dominated" they did dominate, but no one mentioned the cracks they were showing while dominating, that's what other teams like NRG and Fnatic will take advantage of against EG, because they are good enough to do so, when i was watching 1st map vs TL there were HARDLY any cracks at all in the gameplay or their chain, same with the loud game and it showed through the dominance of the game, but in the 2nd map they didn't look nearly as clean cut against TL, and it may just of been them getting complacent, but it's still smtn to note for the future nonetheless

This is just false though, no team which is "bad on a map" would go 11-13 against nrg on it and 10-13 against loud on it, that doesn't exactly say "oh btw we are bad on the map" and those games are 1-2 months ago now, when EG were still figuring stuff out, they are not as bad on haven as all the analysts say

this is fair

i think given they keep playing at this rate, they make it to grand finals minimum, but they looked quite shaky against Team Liquid in the 2nd map yesterday, so maybe they are showing some cracks now

thing is though, think about it this way, if u were ALWAYS having to stay up to 2-4am for games (like most people in other countries have to apart from UK/EU/US for some examples, u will lose interest in watching BECAUSE they are on at such an inconvenient time for you.

what riot has done isn't perfect it's putting a band aid on a massive problem, but there's no real "good answer" to time zones, it's just how it works sadly, u can say "oh they should always do this bc this is where viewership is highest" but that's like looking at kills in-game and saying it fully decides who played well or not, that's just logically not how it works, riot want to include the whole world BECAUSE if they include the whole world, they don't have any enemies and on top of that, every country has sponsors wanting to sponsor them, among multiple other reasons those are just a few.

I know for some viewers who only think about the viewers this may be hard to swallow, but riot are looking out for themselves, not the viewers with these calls, as much as it's sad, it's how a business works and it's how a business will always work, Even other games like CSGO and Rocket league still host in different places for majority of their events, it's just how the esports business works, it's the same as the Olympics or the football world cup, people bid to host it, blank accept 1 bid and then that country hosts it, same concept here, i'm personally unsure if countries bid to host val or cs, etc but i can assume it's still based on some logical reason like exposure or viewership, etc why they end up going to different places, u also gotta remember u don't end up figuring out what the best course of action is without messing up and getting low viewership or low returns.

C9 easily look like the best team by far

given how EDG actually anti stratted T1 hella hard, it could be scary for loud but if loud lose to EDG i might lose faith in them, so imma go loud on that
