racism?

I hardly even listen to the weeknd, but yes he's better to me than kendrick and rihanna yes. I lowkey forgot the dr dre/snoop/eminem one as i didnt watch that SB. But the lineup clears tbh.

Rock/Metal music isn't mainstream so it'll never be a SB halftime show but I can name alot of artists that would put on a better performance than NPC music.

TSM v M80 all time is now 7-1

cant stand his voice, overrated asf tbh.

hasnt been a good halftime show since the weekend in 2020. But then again my music taste will likely never get halftime shows again unfortunately

its great to watch live though. Blame the league and the tv networks for pushing so much ads in it, but sometimes theres enough stoppages in play for them to get the ad breaks in, i hate it though thats why theres ways to pirate it or certain apps that are ad free for watching. But we aint missing much

i havent even hit 3k in 3 years you're pretty cooked

If you told me DRX wouldn't win a trophy of any sorts outside of Korea (challenger region pre franchising) until 2025 back in like 2021 I wouldn't have believed you but yet here we are.

About damn time congrats DRX

depends on the burger like where its from, absolutely can have ass hamburgers and then fire ones

Supporting your 2nd team if theyre still in the running.

If NRG is out and I wanna root for an americas team its gonna be G2, been that way since the open circuit days with TGRD core.

Jamalesh "Hazed" Cobbanath is an Indian professional VALORANT player for NRG who joined in October to step into the IGL role. He is well known for his fragging and flawless calling as well as his beard, which he hasn't shaved since converting to Hinduism

C9 cus clown9 goofy org, igl graveyard
SEN cus fanbase mega cringe
FNC because the org, players are fine, other than botster

diabolical

its one tournament, dropping s0m would be a stupid move, as would likely Ethan (say what you want about the consistency, if he plays like he did vs KRU he'll be fine). FNS is still a good caller just needs to hit the aimlabs or somethin

this is vlr over reaction central, you're not gonna get thru to retards who want immediate results and satisfaction, and theres a reason why they're not anything beyond armchair GMs.

NRG is not gonna make a move before Split 1, that would be stupid to do. Yeah sure it wasn't up to expectations but same can be said about alot of teams. If Split 1 they miss playoffs there will 100% be a move but holy the over reaction spam is crazy

delusional for the -s0m idea

Rossy has a bit suspect in the calling department, yeah FNS can't aim for shit but his calling has always been his strong suit.
Shahz is just as washed bruh, average calling, slightly above average fragging in 2025.

If NRG goes that route, which likely won't be unless split 1 is a total failure, I'd like to see them look into IGLs like
Stellar
hell even GMD or Skuba would be solid

no from an org standpoint theyre like europes golden child

boaster hell no, more likely would be chronicle

Yeah like both players are great, and it solves some problems for both teams but at the same time, you give up the main reason why you win games for someone you already have filling that role.

I guess another person could be Oxy instead of Zekken as Lord knows without him C9 don't win shit

Players aren't really 1 to 1 I tossed a few names around but SEN are basically the Lakers of valorant let's be real. It's them or fnatic

Explaining in valo terms is kinda hard, but basically you trade your 25 (young in NBA terms) superstar duelist for a 31yo Sentinel, who's still really good but they play two different types of games.

Zekken for Nats type beat

Not to mention they (SEN in my analogy) get absolutely fleeced in said trade by only getting 1 first rounder draft pick when worse players have gone for 4

Mavs got absolutely fleeced. Only 1 first rounder when players like Gobert go for 4? Diabolical

No I seen them, not denying they exist. I'm just saying its crazy to see the bandwagons

real shit

Amen to that one brother, ride or die.

We even joined in the same month lol

I pray for the day you crash out and get ran off this site like simp4s0m did

Thank god, good riddance, we already ran simp4s0m outta town too.

Honestly, I feel like he'd be a solid coach, great CC though. We definitely need a fragger IGL

Well, they played in quite a few events, what do you expect, none at all?

Like I get your point but there is no way any team comes close to SEN in terms of flair count on this site. Again the baiters that don't leave the site I don't like to count because they give the rest of us a dogshit rep.

I've stuck with this org since 2021 and for people now to be saying we're everywhere when there was a time where I wouldn't see anyone other than me and like 2 others is just crazy to me.

If we play badly in split 1 I can see changes happening, they looked good in the offseason (albeit thats meaningless) and starting from behind is what kills this team.

If we don't make playoffs in split 1 then its real cause for concern, Mada and Verno are great (the latter had a bad series today) and Ethan and Som need to just be a bit more consistent, like if Ethan was playing like he was today the last few series it could've been a different story. FNS has to stop PI'ing though.

vlr and over reaction central

the like 3 nrg flair baiters absolutely deserve this.

Theres always been alot less NRG flairs than SEN flairs, I dunno where you got that notion from. Maybe cus fuckin chimps like dort and simp4s0m never got off the site. I think awhile back when there was a breakdown of users by flair we werent even like top 10.

Atleast Ethan locked in after last match, now we need pujan to do it too

I like to root for PRX normally but DFM with the upset is huge

Kaajak, Lewn too high, Click too low

Rest is valid enough other than maybe Suygetsu being too low

Do I look like I know what a jpegmafia is?

Sage hea, viper orb, and Skye flash not being rechargeable are the only real valid ones here tbh.

cus theyre ranked players, they learned how to play the game without a gap role. Plus Vyse/Yoru are hybrid initiators I'd argue.

NA tier2 is running you can watch that

yeah it was the babysasuke one.

everyone saying "its just 1 game" like people dont over react to every loss in tier 1 matches everytime an upset or underperformance happens, get used to it.

trembo has always gotten alot of reactions
there was also this one time where chronicle and a buncha players clowned this one guy (i forgot who and when but it was atleast 1-2 years ago)
i'd have to dig for some of the more wild ones from 2022

SRB you had one job, to not break my pickems and yet you did it

yeah i just got on here today and had to dig a bit, bro had the avengers of coaching show up.

that being said its probably a top 5-10 vlr moment, not sure if its the most iconic tho

have i been under a rock but who is m4 and what did he do

Bros been balling since he was on NRG pre franchising.

Americas - NRG and G2 (flair) and TGRD was always my 2nd team back in the day, Optic was my 3rd but now most of those guys came thru NRG.

EMEA - Navi (org, even when they were shit in 22 with Cloud), VIT

Pacific - Zeta, PRX

China - FPX, Wolves

autocorrect murdered me it seems

Smoggy isn't a rookie
