i love how he is genuinely trying to explain to someone who does this as their job what their job is, internet is wild

it's also important to note the reason why they had such a strangle hold was the fact other regions and other good teams refused to prac with other apac teams other than drx, and drx denied people prac with them, to keep them bad, because they knew it would work, teams like that get what's coming to them eventually

Fut 100%

Honestly, they look like genuine contenders up there with teams which look shaky but were on the top once like drx/fnatic is defo not a bad showing, but it is only qualifiers, lets see how they do when it matters, especially against teams like fnatic and C9 (i highly doubt c9 lose to thieves)

Edit: also just realised Scarz did well against drx and the other team FUT faced was thieves, not exactly showing they are amazing yet

ngl, Fut is just playing insanely good

"someone like c9" like c9 would be an upgrade

blud thinks he's part of the team

this shows u still watched all 700 episodes though, so clearly it worked.

watch grave encounters and the blair witch project, any mainstream horror is pretty generic and trashy nowadays.

bump

i can genuinely attest to this, i was the most braindead uneducated mfer on planet earth and made it up to ascendant1-d3 flipflopping by playing moronic, only recently i started doing well there due to completely overhauling and making sure to play well instead of playing how i wanted to

on a serious note, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFyLTpUyxI8 has some pretty good general tips.

saying that monyet is a downgrade is crazy, bro singlehandedly carried GE to multiple rounds and even some map wins with his pure ability, let alone he plays 3 crucial roles (Sentinel, Controller + Duelist) all at a high level, no shot he's a downgrade.

i can attest to this as an ascendant

the fact that i don't play properly anymore and i'm still the top 3.6% is wild

C9 Mel, after it's kinda scuffed but post was chill

I assume it will be ascent, everyone is complaining about it and the meta hasn't changed in months at this stage, certain teams can't win and certain teams can't lose on it, they shouldn't keep it in the game tbh

i feel as though other players such as cryo, yay, etc have had problems with this and got burnt out due to the stress of competing, it's very real it happens to normal players in ranked so ofc it'd happen with other players in pro league, but i feel it also shows they aren't meant to be competing at the top levels

Ty for the info

https://www.vlr.gg/team/12743/torch-plus he plays for this team now, it's a pretty small unknown but at the same time they are winning the small tourneys, maybe they become good

i heard that they were leaving in august but i figured they'd stay for the off season so they could milk some money out the tournaments

anyone know why, i know xand got banned but didn't they play w/o him last game?

all i gotta say is how come everyone exceptionally average is in 25.

i'm not gaslighting, you're just crazy.

reminds me of how analysts always note that 1 duelist on prx is a contact duelist (aka something on reyna) and 1 is a entry duelist, (aka forsaken on jett or jinggg on raze)

bro this is hitting as the same typa energy as woohoojin

never once have cared for nrg ever

if he gets shot once he dies^^

Didn't even consider, this will ruin whzy on split lmao.

in this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXUiWfgVIzU) it confirms at 140 that raze gets suppressed when going into the ult, which = raze ult useless, so yes

your a week late well done for necroing

the point being, imagine c9 uses that in madrid instead of a dumbass mickey mouse, now every team has that and has prep against it

average navi fan

i was confused why c9 showed the insane viper ult at the end, that shit would go hard in a genuine tournament if no one else found it

is yinsu a guy now?

why would millions of people invest in SBF's ponzi scheme, we will never know

there's no way u guys are arguing over this

for the edit it is the same because i'm not talking about the hackers , we the COMMUNITY want the truth, sony and microsoft will release who has been hacked and what has been hacked when they KNOW (riot don't know why the anti was hit or who hit it at the time of the tweet, they had only just confirmed it HAD been hit), but that needs an internal investigation first (as riot said) i'd be much more worried if we had answers sooner rather than later because it'd show the investigation wasn't thorough and they didn't consider all the aspects at play, it's not that they don't wanna, but if they do name cheaters, they wanna get WHO the cheater was RIGHT and they wanna make sure they don't name someone as a cheater when it turns out it was because of a ban evasion or other dumb reasoning

low is anything below or plat, mid is diamond-immo2 and high is anything above
(i'm asc1)

i just don't like stuff like this tbh, i just wanted to make it clear that at the end of the day, this could not be about "blank specific thing that everyone thinks it's about"

^^it's articles like this where in the first line it blatantly says "A Valorant Game Changers team, Noot Noot, was made to forfeit a match after one of their players was caught cheating by Riot’s Anti-Cheat."
this is unconfirmed and if untrue horrible reporting after the truth comes out, just wait like a day for details kek.
"one of their players was caught cheating by Riot’s Anti-Cheat."" this line is unconfirmed unless they know more than they are saying

they said from their own post (https://twitter.com/valesports_na/status/1710099437815754778) that "competitive integrity" was compromised, that does not mean "cheating" "competitive integrity" includes ban evasions, stuff like vivo key'd vs ACEND where vivo key's used an illegal cypher cam, that was considered a breach of competitive integrity in riot's eyes. It's not just for people cheating, the anticheat was triggered and it was some form of integrity problem, that's the only info that riot said, it could count for any of the reasons above^^

Edit for the 2nd point since it looks like i didn't cover it, Why would a company as massive as riot get into naming and shaming without all the information and details they could possible find, u don't see a company like microsoft or sony disclosing that they have been hacked even in general sometimes, but they would NEVER do it without knowing exactly what was stolen and why and attempting to get it back or catch the hackers

https://tracker.gg/valorant/profile/riot/BLEED%20yay%23yay/overview what part of this is struggling

basically in short,
Noot Noot's player https://www.vlr.gg/player/40754/malibu hit the riot anticheat and causes it to go off, for what reason isn't currently public so people don't know why but everyone is ASSUMING they were cheating, but malibu themselves claims it was from a previous ban evasion(source a teammate outing dms on twitter https://twitter.com/1xann/status/1710109084261728365) that's all i currently know of it^^

Straight up, they lost their first game of selection 2 in china against dragon smtn (unknown team) , so they could deadass go out for this year lmao

i advise you to read it

Let me guess, your one of those kids who is consistently <500 tracker rating wondering why they don't rank up because they are "so much better" than their teammates kek

now drop those kds in ascendant comp

i believe woohoojin actually brought this up about derrek and zander when he was reviewing both their vods sometimes^^

Messi chose to be a potential co owner of a football/soccer team in the U.S over hard cash in the Saudi league, on top of this fact he also got a lot more deals such as apple deals, shares of ticket and jersey sales (i believe) and on top of that a much better living condition in a much better area of the world and got to be with his family and not change his values, all in all, i see this as a win for everyone involved.

but to say all of the things Beckham offered compared to Saudi being LESS than the Saudi's is just a straight up lie, over time Messi will likely make 10x the money from inter Miami than the straight fee from the Saudi's
