All that just to get knocked out of the first series of playoffs? Ouch...Brutal format yo. Bordering asinine.

yeh _ they are stupid and will thank Riot later for sure. I just disable vanguard when im not playing Valo - no probs in 2024, I got more flak when I received valuable items in CS, like literally every scammer was in my friends request and they even called me, never had those issues with Riot games even though Vanguard is super invasive. Iunno, honestly I wish Valve cared about their anti-cheat systems.

You don't even need cheats in Valorant though, just buy a glowy skin and inspect near a wall before start of round.../s

I’m still running viper on icebox and breezeee. She’s still great there, maybe bind and split. But only with other smoker. I still think she is strong and not as bad as people are saying but definetly not as good on the other maps.

Ngl I didn’t go super crazy with her with learning lineups and always played her a bit more heads up so I’m not really feeling the nerfs beside the very short smoke timings, same with the orb. Just encourages my gorilla warfare viper more lol but on the other maps I’m not running her anymore especially solo.

Feels bad watching my fav agent since beta get butchered again but what can ya do.

Usually passive aggression isn't direct - that clip was pretty direct he was yelling at his teammate in VC lol Iunno if you know what that means.

Don’t quit school / your day job for Valorant. Saying this for all the collegiate hopefuls out there. Best of luck Jakee walk away with your head held high 99% of your haters will never even sniff tier 2.

2) Chong

honestly bruh I don't care too much but I played it for a friend whom i played comp with in other games in the days and we were excited about the match, it was just fucking annoying. We were watching on a TV so its not as easy to switch either way nobody is delusional you honestly sound like Pujan or one of his mods. Aye I won't knock the hustle anymore - just know we will not be back, we will watch our boy sliggy or Turok. One is toooo big brained to ever do something like that and the others chat is so CRZY they will never see any fu***ry from me. GGs bro

so running 8 minute ads during overtime is okay? As long as i am prime subbed or on the official channel? Even though MOST streamers follow simple etiquette to run their ads mostly? LOL You are funny. Enjoy Sen for the rest of the season my guy, stay out of my replies.

Bro - im not watching his stream anymore. Im shit talking his lame ass mods and calling out FNS for being a 8 minute ad runner during SEN vs LEV OVERTIME, in fact i thought that was against the rules for watch party's? My buddy who i played his co-stream for was so dissapointed that he would run ads at that time, we could have just gone to the regular stream or anyone elses stream really. So please try to understand before you comment. Are you one of the mods? If not- then stfu.

yeah I didn't go to his mods I am talking about it on VLR cause I saw his name on the bottom left of my VLR page. Stay low.

you are replying on a VLR post about a twitch channel. Stfu LMAO. Lets not forget that most streamers, DO NOT run ads during the most important part of a official match. That just screams, "I am milking my audience" from a streamer, and I thought it was so funny he was trying to play it off jokingly...UGH - this ain't a joke bruh. Do better.

my prime sub is reserved for people who deserve it, and Mr. Money Bags FNS does not deserve it yet, sorry. YT posts all his noteworthy commentary and that is literally all he is good for because he rides off his discord chat during his streams 100%

FNS mods are fucking DOG SHIT, actual losers. I made a stupid comment in his chat once (spanish slang) it was auto modded and then they banned me permanently. all I said was some stupid common spanish curse words LOL obviously it was not appropriate but them mods are DOG SHIT, fight me. FNS do better cuz. You can't keep running 8 minute ads during overtime during the most hyped match of the week, you will not last. Despite your expert commentary (which is 8% expert commentary and 92% waffling), please. Be better. Honestly thats why i was emboldened. I didn't realize your mods were so tight fisted like that seeing as how nonchalant you are about your viewers experience.

Sleep, Bleed will lose. Not worth it.

It's funny how people get so worked up over something they have so little involvement in, but hey, you do you.

Thank goodness we don't need Armchair analysts to qualify teams who just won a international major. Whatever kinda asterisk you wanna label this competition with, it doesn't matter. You have no credibility. Stop reaching. Also seethe + mald + cope.

Don’t really see much in it. Seems like a reach.

You know - I appreciate this take, and the fact that you actually gave a reason for why, whereas most people just shit on you for having a diff opinion without providing a reason. This is a healthy and good take though.

they want to bury this, but it's true. CN doesn't deserve 4 slots at champions.

accurately predicted the outcome of this game, ez. What I find most funny is how crazy the recency bias in this community is. TH had a good kick off split and suddenly they are extremely hyped. Against a team who had a rough split but had made 2 final appearances lol you don’t make this up. Never trust VLR or Reddit! Armchair generals don’t know the game.

Honestly it was close but just scroll up this thread and it’s comedy how sure y’all were they were gonna get 2-0’d. SMH.

Called it

Is there a world where comps are not so baked in and solidified? Can PRX recover vs a hot TH? Honestly, If they can shift back to what made them W key gaming they can easily do it. They are missing one player and have Something, I have to believe they can show more. But I would not be surprised if TH take it. Very hard to call....

PRX 2-1

LOUD will make a deep run close to the finals. They will beat FPX, and then the next team. Just don't think they bow out so ez. Do KC and Heretics recover? Still in swiss stage, who do you trust?

What made SEN 5 stack C like that? Was it a read or did something in KC's play give it away!? You can see just as KC hits C mound SEN players are already rotating toward C. Just thought it was pretty crazy...Johnqt gigabrain?

nah, ya'll are foul for this. LMAO

SEN will lose. NRG 2-1. Get ready to learn Chinese buddy.

not a big fan of the format either. Never heard of a winning team getting competitive advantages off of last year...doesn't really make sense to me. It's like playing winners ball in basketball. Maybe okay in a non official pick up game environment...iunno. Also looking at APACS format this year. I don't resonate with any of it at all.

now you know what that looks like

8/10

Could be better, could be FAR worse. I'm just grateful to be alive and to be working in a field im passionate about. Also, get to watch pro valo and play high elo valorant lobbies on the side as well as high ELO CS (without effort). You could say Im somewhat of a journeyman.

C0m is fun to troll cuz name rhymes with cum.

terrible format...what is going on. im getting whiplash.

This is just sad. Valorant is the worst when it comes to Tech pauses...This never happens at CS majors. Why are these people trying to pass this off as okay? It's not okay! You preach competitive integrity and you allow this to happen. LMFAO! RIOT is a joke.

I don't even care anymore. If I get one asshole on my team i'm throwing. It feels way better than trying to win with them TBH, I personally enjoy giving the other team freelo when thats the case :) I've barely started playing again and the amount of man babies in ascendant is comedy, and you know its because they are hard stuck. LMAO I don't even main this game so hearing the cries of anguish and the name calling is all comedy to me. It's actually one of my favorite comedies, got a kid 12 hour banned last night and ill do it again.

Pep Fraudiola gets carried by amazing players - his whole career, doesn't win a CL without Haaland or Messi. The real greatest coach of this generation is Jurgen Klopp

I swap between Saturn pro and ac2 Sakura both great.

I don't believe this run of form from sentinels. It's still the off-season. Ill wait till VCT masters to confirm my confirmation bias.

I stopped playing Valorant I just watch it now. N play a bit of CS

this why i have trust issues

non taken

Yeah and no, I am simply aware.

hes been talking about coffee beans for 15 minutes straight.

You ever just start a conversation with someone and you're going with it but realize soon that they won't stop talking....It's like truly "What is blud waffling about?" am I just bad at listening? How do I get out of situations like this with tact?

Seems like the collective IQ of this forum has increased by a few points, i am enjoying some of the takes here...This bodes well for the future. Still...

A baguette is salty that NA team won THE international trophy? Not surprised.

W final as I'm a neutral who enjoys both these squads and think they both deserve it...May the best team win 🤝. I'm slightly biased, I just think if Something is in form and Demon1 can't put up similar numbers as todayy....

3-2 PRX...

Just so impressed with EG to beat this very very tough LOUD iteration to make a second straight finals appearance. They can talk all the shit they want.
