she is amazing in ranked, and is backed with her pr & wr

Clove right now is still better than miks

Clove is one of, if not the best ranked agent in the game
Both are completely useless in proplay

so clove > miks

miks is not better than clove

South Africa = cooked
Australia = cooked
China prob top 8/16

Iron-silver low elo
gold-diamond mid elo
ascendant-rad high elo

this is based off average and not skill level ^

I agree but I like jpop as much as cpop

may I ask what are your favourite cpop songs

There are plenty of examples of anybody involved in any type of competition and sports crying after a bad performance. its really not that deep

if your enemy is sleeping at the wheel, yeah it would work
but like normally no, u almost always get cleared by a drone before u can TP up, and even if you do TP up for free, im pretty sure u can still see omen

I do see the possibility of an immo lobby that hasnt slept in the past 18 hours maybe getting caught off tho, but id never try that play unless its an eco or something

n4rrate is good

I wouldnt say he is a superstar player but he is far from bad. Usually 2nd-3rd best on the team he is on

Obviously a terrible idea, but it would be funny in pro play as you see teams target ban someone like Jinggg's raze

Why do people always make Superteams atm and not historical top preforming players. If a player is really good in a certain meta, that doesnt mean their great overall and fitting for a superteam. I especially have this gripe with the chinese superteams

True, I miss a lot of the old VLR users, while I still talk to them on discord time to time, its kinda sad I dont see them on the forums anymore

it also influenced me to use VLR a lot less

BarbaraCult although he doesnt really use VLR or the internet in general anymore

holy shit ur right

First of all, you are not including the entire year of 2022, only champs.

second of all, no? there is a massive gap every year. Every year teams understand the game to better a level and through the different meta are forced to learn different styles and variety, more teams also learn off better teams. The bottom level of 24, is massively different to the bottom level of 23. You can apply this to every year. The rate of change might be the highest during 21 -> 22, but its still high enough every year where you can see a visual difference in how good the teams are. The gap between 21-22, is not higher than any other 2 years combined

Right now I would say 24, is the best "starting year" because its when all the teams had a somewhat good idea how to play the game, but 3 years down the line im probably gonna say 2027 is a good starting year. So this argument is pretty stupid because as our understanding of the game changes, so does our perception on when "good" valorant was

because thats when every team had kind of a decent floor

its like u missed the whole point I chose 2024

and yes redgar was allat bro, why are we pretending he wasnt good at the game. he was an insane fragging igl on astra

I can say every event is a blueprint for the future. Gambit were on of the first teams to play extremely slow fnatic style, and had excellent pre round ideas. Half of the viper shit from 2021 is still meta in 2026. Like im not saying team didnt improve from champs 2022 but I can argue almost every team improved from almost every event.

Teams drastically improved event from event. your example of reyna is also nothing special.

https://www.vlr.gg/248277/paper-rex-vs-evil-geniuses-valorant-champions-2023-playoffs-gf/?game=137640&tab=overview

something won on reyna against EG on Ascent (one of the most staple meta's ever) in 2023. If you are trying to argue its bad because its redgar, thats a terrible take. Because redgar was a top aimer in 2021 and fell off a cliff after m3c.

After the chamber meta, half the teams were clueless, look at 2023. There was may 4 good teams at the top level, 3 decent teams, and the rest of them were fucking lost T-T. I dont get why this is the period of improve you look at. If you wanna make this argument it either has to be start of 2023 (because thats when franchasing started) OR you look at 2024 (because thats when every team had kind of a decent floor, and the good teams started to peak)

Every event evolved and improved after another, there was nothing special in champs 2022. Ive legit rewatched every old event in my free time

why out of all events do you start with the loud win ?

so then by this... china has 2 trophies?
China has won a champs and masters before pacific :?

this doesnt mean you actually fixed any issues, you just kinda avoid the old ones. the reason that works half the time is because it catches the opponent who anti'd u off guard, forcing them to need to figure out what mistakes you are making live rather then figuring it out beforehand.

TL beat fnatic changing all their comps and didnt even get to scrim it,
Did they play good? sure, for a team that didnt even scrim the maps, they did good
Did they have glaring issues that the next team could exploit? absolutely, way too many
Was it on Fnatic for not adapting fast enough live, and could other teams do so? yes.

if you honestly think you could make it, probably yeah

Pak has players

not even close. but nor is any other south african lol

not surprised, but im probably not going to after thinking about it

would only spend my money like that if it was to meet nats himself

true, im considering not to

which is why im asking if it was worth to try

South Africa has had 0 radiants
Ive been south africa rank 1 once at immo 2 150rr
Very few lucky south africans hit immo 3. its just impossible to hit rad on such a small server.

The tournaments I played are open for anyone to join, but there is a basic sweep for those teams to enter. (basically you have to be allocated in one of the limited spots)

Mechanically I wouldnt put myself above the best south africans, but im quite confident in my game knowledge and igling. I think my team is around top 15-20 in OCE probably whereas south african teams barely have any scene, with no prem or vcl. so naturally their teamplay and experience is limited, even if OCE has a small scene I have still versed players who have either been at ascension or tier 1 level albeit admittedly not beat them.

I could probably make it into team south africa if its based off talent alone (Maybe I cant make it because of chem and existing cores), but idk if its worth. Probably gonna cost me some money and we are probably losing

no point in playing then. js quit

no, the region was fine until they removed vcl. players were hoping that when they revamped it in 2027 oceania would have a scene again. but nope they fully killed it

great changes, if they didnt just fuck my region

minimise, ecco, ikana, lew, blessed, floga

like cmon bro

there is so many talented oce players, ur being disingenous

theres no passion for that shit, half the players quit when they removed vcl. the region would be functional if oce still had vcl

yep

the region wouldnt be dead, if you didnt REMOVE vcl :sob:

https://www.youtube.com/live/yRJ7KhGASCo?si=maU4BTeaNqV6uTWd

oh yeah 100%
The game here is fully dying if they dont add vcl next season. so many good pros already quit because of vcl this year

biggest tournament of our region. basically our vcl if the prizepool was 200 dollars. (kidding, no one plays for the money, js for vibes and fun)

depends what you mean by rich. The average joe who can support their family with the basic needs of education, food and shelter. then yeah thats fine.

if you mean like the child shouldnt need to work a day in their life, then thats a terrible take

its okay goat, cxs are one of the best teams in our region. good first map from you guys

that yoppy guy is pretty smart

changed my flag, now im officially the best south african player ever. (there are no other ones :sob:)

I DID IT...HOPE IT CONTINUES NEXT SERIES

thanks goat

yo bro their like 100x me as players, also im the solo anchor igl 😭 I dont think im carrying them bro
