In the early stages of VALORANT, I wanted to see TSM performing well... But after a time, they went downhill with each and every tournament.

A couple of months ago, I was literally wondering why TSM hasn't released their coach yet.

I am not even surprised; it was expected to happen.

Some people here and there are wondering if this can make the team to improve or not. Let's take an example from the real life. You have to babysit a kid. While you're watching him, you see that he's eating dirt each and every time, but you let him do it, because from your point of view that's how kids behave and play. But again, that's not normal.

Now, back to the VALORANT scene. TSM kept making the same mistakes over and over again, even a small one, like taking out your knife, can cost you an entire match. I get it that Wardell is a really good op player, but on streams he sometimes plays other agents like Cypher, if his precious Jett is taken. What I'm trying to say here is that stubbornness and pride can ruin many things. Jett is not a must pick; it depends on the strats/ map, sometimes work, sometimes isn't and that's the coach role to figure out why. Coaches have many responsabilities and expectations to meet.

If someone of you is in or want to work in the eSports scene, just let me tell you one thing. It's a harsh environment. You have to try to get better and better, and you need to try producing results. Otherwise, ...

All of you here are kinda clueless about the real word or the eSports scene. You literally hurry to the stats and search someone name, and when the results shows: he's in the first place. You literally start to think wow, he is the best player in the whole world... But, again, you're nothing more but biased.

And when someone asks a question about who's better... the real question is: Where are you from? People are overlooking on many things.

As far as the best player, you cannot say that tenz; or ScreaM; or russ, or mwzera is the best player in the world when they literally haven't performed on the world stage.

The same comparison is viable when you go to drone (TSM) stream and you say wow, how good he is; yes, every professional player is a god in ranked games, but most of them are struggling in official matches.

The same is with the regions, they only played in their region against the same teams over and over again... So, of course, the teams who played more matches have more stats and so on...

Sometimes I even wonder... can anyone here come up with a decent topic or argument? Or all of you are clueless kids who have so much spare time on their hands?

Format-wise, NA is better than most of the regions. But, production-wise, EU is above NA from many point of view.

Someone mentioned along the line the right to co-stream. Recently, EU got also the permission to do so. But where's benefit to stream on multiple channels the same matches? I don't see where's the advantage or the merit in doing that (of course, besides the streamers who earn some penny on the back of the users)... Shroud could have also done the same thing that EU did during the last Challengers. Streamers asked the right to stream the matches that aren't streamed, but what he's doing? He just opens a few twitch channels in different tabs in the browser and follows them... And here comes the herd mentality. And Shroud literally said he doesn't give a crap about any other region, he follows NA because there are players that he knows or played with.

Truthfully, only Sean Gares VOD reviews or streams are worth watching... Don't let other people like Shroud or anyone else take your subscription if you aren't gaining anything in return, like good information/ knowledge.

Update:
🔴EMEA Playoff Circuit Points has been updated!🔴

First & Second will NOT be receiving points from the Challenger playoffs, the minimum points you can get from attending Iceland is 150, so both teams will be getting at least 150 even if they bomb out of Masters.

This explains C9B loss: https://twitter.com/leaf_cs/status/1386126539016839171?s=19

daps was the last standing almost every round, 1v1; 1v2; always panicked or too slow; couldn't do nothing. That's not your gamer mentality.

Here is the trailer of the new map: https://twitter.com/floxayyy/status/1385136550841880580?s=19

Xeppaa and floppy never won a TIER S tournament. They were just hanging in there.

All of you are saying that they were tier 1 players in cs, let's not mistake what is truly tier 1 and what is barely managing to go forward.

Truly tier 1 players are & were neo, f0rest, GeT_RighT, dev1ce, s1mple, etc. You cannot compare these two to real tier 1 players, that would just be an offense to them.

It's literally their business what will they do or not, why should we pry into that?

Shahzam is thinking that he is an almighty saint? He's pointing fingers when he's not better than them?

Sometimes, we should look in the mirror first before saying things about others.

Do not get me wrong, I am not defending anyone here. The people who did those match fixings should be punished, but let's leave this matter to the investigation party.

I have to admit, Jamppi is the best 'W - key' warrior.

Team Liquid cannot bring out ScreaM full potential as it is now... It's kinda sad the whole situation.
