I will never understand how people think a game with skill based agents, and a huge array of changing utility, has a lower skill ceiling than a game that’s just a shooter.

It’s probably the most commonly accepted 0 head take on the Valorant v Csgo argument.

Valorant isn’t anywhere near its skill ceiling. You think people have “Mastered” these agents? Lul

SkRossi is def fun to watch.

I would hold off saying how great he is gonna be against international competition. Like we saw with the Brazilians and with Soniqs, being good in your region =\= being good in international competitions.

Ez for Navi

Dude has a career hs % over 50%

Da fuc

Savage

It’s 100% the fact that when he first made the switch he was bottom dragging nearly every game. Everyone said “he’s new, give him time and he’ll be a god.”

After this post, I can tell you for sure, that he is still dog water and it’s embarrassing for him. His ego can’t take it and he needs a safety blanket. I’m not shit, the game is shit.

He is 100% copium.

Someone is big mad they can’t live up to the hype.

Get good

You’re right. It’s because woman are lazy. You win

Bad take.

I am not even a tsm fan, but they are definitely tops tier 2 at the worst.

You think they would lose regularly to rng or soniqs?

Tsm is a tier 1 team. Where they land in the mix will be interesting, especially with all these roster shuffles, but the eye test would say they fall around the middle of the pack in tier 1. Any team that’s in the top 10, is only one good tournament run from Berlin (example V1 / Liquid)

You can continue to believe that the only reason woman are not at the top of this game or any game, since the dawn of time, is because they are lazy and don’t work as hard as men.

It’s obvious nothing will change your mind and you are not open to the idea that maybe men have a biological edge. Slightly better reaction time? Maybe slightly better hand eye cordination?, etc etc.

Look at the stats for this tournament.

Look at c9w. Now look at who is the best player statistically for them.

It’s anniedro. The only player on their team that was born a man is their best player.

Must be because anniedro works harder...

I refuse to believe it’s because woman don’t try hard enough or don’t have a good work ethic.

That’s ridiculous.

I am surprised that all of these people seem to think the only reason woman are not as good as men in Esports is because they don’t try hard enough.

Like... do you honestly think that since the dawn of esports there has never been a girl who has practiced as much as men? You would have to be brain dead to believe that over the last 15-20 years a woman has never tried as hard as the men do.

It should be obvious by now, that there is some other reason a woman has never been in the top ten of any Esport. I am not sure what it is, what sort of physical/mental difference, but it can’t be denied that it’s most likely a biological difference that keeps men on top. It’s not just “hur dur woman don’t try hard enough.”

Good pickup

My guess

T1 promoted Dawn instead of ANS so ANS left.

True. Now I’m intrigued with how they will run this play.

This is what happens when prepubescent tweens are allowed to post on a website without fear of being banned for their ignorance.

Watching this tournament was like watching the 90s movie Ladybugs

I think zellsis only played kJ because jammyz didn’t. Now that wippe is back I think he plays KJ.

I hate that I agree with this clown. LG is officially t2 now.

Hope I am wrong, cause I love to see fresh blood succeed.

Facts

Lunarkats is so hot, but c9w is so good.

Ez for klaus

We will see. I’d be surprised to see them beat RNG.

LG officially tier 2

His last game on this site he was -6 against c9 white lol

No raze.

Another reason this wasn’t that great of a move by Envy

I would say mummay was a top 5 controller. Equally as good, if not better, than marved.

The few times I have seen mummay on Jett, he has failed to impress. Yes he may be a good awp, but is he really top 5?

Penny
Yay
Tenz
Shazam
Babybay
Wardell

Is he even better than dicey?

I am a big fan of Envy, but I can’t help but feel like this change didn’t really do much to make them better.

EU is gonna be nuts and I wouldn’t be surprised if both Liquid and FNC don’t qualify.

I think this doesn’t make envy better.

Mummay is not a top 5 NA duelist.

Marved is not a top 5 controller.

Envy was already top 5 NA.

This barely moves the needle. Is mummay really better than Kaboose? Is Marved really better than Mummay?

Me thinks not.

Maybe make his stim have a onetime -5 secs on an agents skill CDs.

I am amazed no one seems to be talking about the omen nerf. Everyone acting like he was untouched.

It’s such a joke that a game with such cool movement wants you to completely stop moving every time you shoot.

Hi! My name is Valorant, and i suck big daddy cs:go dick! I am going to change everything about my game that is different than my daddy!

Now the game is even less about movement!! Sure I have cool movement mechanics with my agent skills, but now you have to stop mid motion to shoot, then move, then stop to a halt.

I mean, how could 20 year old mechanics be bad? Please daddy CS let me be EXACTLY like you!!!!!

Horrible trend of watering down what makes Valorant unique from CS. Let’s raise ability prices and the cost of ultimates so we can be less Valorant and more CS.

Devs have zero pride in what they have created and only want to be a knockoff CS with abilities.

I am very disappointed in these changes. This isn’t CS, this is Valorant and it should play differently.

As a cypher main, it’s HUGE that jet doesn’t break trips now.

So many juicy spots for trips right outside of choke points that she will get snagged on. Jet will continue to be picked in pretty much every game in ranked, and probably 50% of pro games too. This nerf was a big deal for Cypher.

However, I dont foresee a huge uptick in Cypher usage in pro play, more likely this will stop the steady decline of his usage, but do little to increase it.

Poor Horatio

Here is a video of the interview

https://youtu.be/_XUu3_pLPUE

He is a god among men.

During an interview in Iceland he was asked:

“What is best in life?”

He replied

“To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women.”

Abx yay
Dude either cheats, or he’s a god.

Cesar salad was invented in Mexico

Are they going to play Berlin on episode 3?

One of the big reasons NA were so dominant in Iceland was because they had 3 incredible Ops.

The rest of the world is behind EU and NA as far as Oping is concerned.

Shahzam = Higher floor/ Lower ceiling
Wardell = Lower floor / Higher ceiling

Wardell is the type of player who will dash down C long on defense, 3 rounds in a row, and die within the first 10 seconds. When he is on fire he is the best op in NA, but when he is cold... he’s a detriment to his team.

Whenever anyone says Navi I’ll think of Dendi Pudge God

This is an entertaining series so far, some nice big time plays.

I can’t believe no one has responded to this yet.

Didn’t your mom teach you not to say anything if you don’t have something nice to say. Lots of salty tweens on this site.

You had a nice run of games bro. GG WP
