Said it right here. Last years teams were in a far better form and played far better valorant. Last years EG or fnatic would have crushed everyone this event.

Should be the most valueable player in the world right?

• Speaks english
• lots of experience
• can play every role to a very very high level

There really isnt a single english speaking team that would no benefit from picking him up. The only player who is comparable in value would be aspas but he is only known for being a duelist. Id day chronicles flexibility gives him an even higher market value even though aspas is better.

How do you counter racism? Just be more racist then them!

Being a young coldzera is actually a terrible thing to say considering colds style only worked since everybody worked around him. Thats why he fell off so hard when he didnt have this support structure around him.

First: As if 100T would continue with cryo when there are so many good players on the market rn.
Second: G2 is still up there and I wouldnt be suprised if he switches region entirely. I mean he was already open to offers from EMEA last year, and TL for example has a very promissing core of players and would be able to provide a high sallery and infrastructure.

Valorant and CS are so fundamentally different that there is no shot that one kills the other. Both from a gameplay and cultural perspective.

I feel like the cultural perspective probably is the more important one. Valorant did such a great job at attracting new demographics to the genre of tac fps. I honestly never thought that it would be possible to have a female playerbase of over 10% in such a game, and yet here we are. Thing is, this would never be possible in CS. Valorant really makes sure everybody is welcomed, and nobody misbehaves. Something that often attracts females more for example. CS on the other hand, thanks to valves hands of approach, is pretty much the wild west. Every game is full of banter, toxicity and making fun of each other. Half of the playerbase is tilted af and the other half cracks up in front of their pc when the russian kid starts screaming.

In some sense it probably actually is similar, culturally speaking, to the cultural differences between republicans and democrats in the US in terms of cultural diviation.

Thats right, and on average better at fps then 99,9% of us zoomers

Quake and UT players >>> CS Players >>> Overwatch players

Ex CS pros have been dominating valorant for god knows how long compared to any other group. Quake and UT players are rare these days, but once they play a different game they just stop everybody.

Vitality. Always competent. Have Identity. Very professionally organsied across multiple esports. Havnt had any major scandals.

LMAO what a sack of shiet that guy is.

... should never be supported by anybody.

They literally sit there on their giant ego and literally play with the lives of people like it is nothing. They let people waste thousands upon thousands of hours only to take everything they have rightfully earned and worked for for the biggest nonsense imaginable. Actually cruel, but what do you expect from a company run by tyrants?

Mostly FiFa and so on. There isnt a huge competitive field in Germany. Since Esport isnt seen as a sport you have to run your more professional CS teams as a company. Germany is a hellhole in terms of bureaucracy, so you are an idiot if you would want to make a company like that in germany. That is honestly why BiG is so impressive as an Org.

There is actually still a good shot that he turns his game around. He talked about how he didnt enjoy being on big and that he worked with a mental coach a lot. His team online already looks very very promising since they won their first event by beating teams like Astralis or Furia.

Germany is bad at literally any videogame nowadays. The only ones where we were decent in recent memory was r6 as far as I know.

They certainly deserve to play in tier one

Only a scandinavian can be pussy enough to see any wrong here lol. Grow yourself some backbones softie.

And now the Award for the most sissy Esport in the world, for 3 years in a row, goes to... drum roll VALORANT!

Honestly if Valorant wouldnt have such interesting gameplay (It is essentially a more tactically diverse CS) the game would be fucking dead. The fans in the stadium usually look like the soyjack meme and have zero passion, there are no events most of the time, there is no edge what so ever, and the talents sit there pyjamas.

Gelsenkirchen probably. Cant name anything good about it tbh. Is as broken and broke as every other major city in the rhine land region, with the the twist that it has nothing to offer. Really down right useless this city.

Leipzig is great wtf. Atleast compared to every shit city in the rhine region

Ask Leaf how pissing of cryzilians usually goes.

Probably FNC is unbeatable on lotus. Split will be interesting.

Why are you talking about NA valorant pros now?

donk is so nasty man.

Zyw0os major accomplishments:

-Blast TV Major (Best team he beat in playoffs was top 18)

-Also known to suck at prestige events

S1mples accomplishments:

2 times cologne

1 x kato

And we do not talk about 2nd places, then it gets very dark for zywoo.

the stockholm major (The major with the best viewership and the first to be held online, in which he beat Vitality, gambit and G2 in the playoffs without dropping a map)

1 x Intel grand slam

If we count masters and lockin as majors cologne, kato and intel grand slam count as well.

S1mple has literally won any kind of big achievement you can have. 2 x cologne 1 kato, 1 (the most important) major and an intel grand slam.

LMAFO maybe win against a top 15 team at major playoffs first and then we can talk.

Not me, I always have the best takes.

I mean it really is hard to deny since he is literally the only one who uses it all the time and not as a suprise pick 2 rounds in a half.

We have seen KangKang perform very well for 1 international lan. m0NESY is not experienced in CS terms, but if it comes to prestige events he is miles ahead of KangKang.

Both have unreal mechanical skill for sure. It is just that m0nesy sometimes just does shit that is just out of this fucking world and even s1mple rarely does. m0NESY looks like an even faster kennyS, which obviously implies unreal potential. m0NESY clips are something out of this world.

Now what helps m0nesy for sure is his team. He has the greatest rifler in the history of the game as his wingman, an amazing role player in JKS and a rock solid rifler in hunter who has been a top 15 player for the last 3 years. KangKang on the other hand kinda reminds me of KennyS when he played in the old Titan lineups. He is the win condition.

Leo probably

That is what happens when you have no real male role models when you are young and all of education and everything you go through is female. Young men and woman try to fill that hole in different ways. Since gen z ers really have nothing to look forward to with the modern system they try to find alternatives. I mean what else would you do if the economy is screwed, education fails you, you are mor alone then ever and the world is going from crisis to crisis.

The Tates, the Jordan Petersons and the Joe Rogans of the world, wether you like them or not, are the logical cosequences of how society treats young men and how it gives them options. (Females have their own issues in society and I am not saying that they aint struggeling aswell, in fact I think females are even more fucked).

I am not a fan of Tate either, but at this point I think he probably is healthier to young men then most of mainstream culture. At least he promotes values like honor, health, working hard, responsibility and the value of purpose in life. All mainstream culture promotes is being obedient, weakness, consumerism and degenericy. The fact that I prefer the fucking Tates over the mainstream is a pretty sad thing.

Dependent on the Team. A team that lacks firepower would benefit more from the 1.17 guy. A team that needs more structure needs the 1.10 guy. If we talk about international teams were a loose style is better fitting since communication wont work as well I would probably go with the 1.17 guy. It also makes me more adaptable in the long run since a guy who has his skillset in fragging can probably fill other roles better if I need him to.

It honestly is even worse then Rakjervik 2022 where FPX couldnt attend and instead of M3C we had to go with Lulquid

Last map of the first match got decided on like 12-11 with 2 seconds left.

Okay then: The current G2 lineup is better then Team Liquid 2018 cuz they won Blast World Finals, Kato and Cologne

The only thing he has to do is to win against a top 5 team of all time

Coldzera 2 times hltv nr 1 NiKo 0 times nr 1 arguement. Now tell me who the goat rifler of cs go is.

Just cuz they didnt fall of a cliff like Sen did doesnt mean they havnt fallen of. Look over at CS:GO. Did SK never fall of? What about Fnatic? What happened to Evil Geniusses? Nr 1 in cs in 2019 aint on the same level as nr 30 in like 2021.

One win against a really good team would be more then enough tbh.

Considering we hear that pretty much every team has issues in the backround and pretty much all the teams lost consistency, it for sure is the first one. Tell me on what Fnatic innovated in Valorant.

For winning against a worse version of Loud 2022 and fucking EG and for losing against chockequid in the finals?

Thats like saying astralis aint the goat cuz they lost against Mouz or something after device left (Their best player). Teams always fall of at some point, what matters is their prime.

They almost lost against EG.

Eyetest > Trophies

And there can not be more then one goat. And with the s1mple vs dev1ce vs Zywoo debate it is very clear. If you are in any way a sensible human being you value eyetest and how strong their enemies were over accomplishments. And if you factor that in s1mple clearly is the goat. He had his prime during the rain of CS:GOs greatest dynasty. He was so good that he carried a team with edward, Zeus and Flamie to major finals and even single handedly took of championships of that team. He also has had the best performances at prestige events and his major run was about 5 times harder then Zyw0os. In the playoffs he faced Zyw0o, Gambit and NiKo, meanwhile Zw0o never won against a top 15 ranked team in all of his major playoff matches combined and pretty much always falls of at prestige events. S1mple is the GOAT.

Spoiler: Teams can fall of. Just look at sentinels. To me both NaVi and DRX have clearly fallen of a cliff.

Thats gonna be a hot take so buckle up. I as a chronicle fanboy through and through say that FNC will only be tied if not even lower to OPTIC and LOUD for being the best team in history.

FNC is the only team in history to win 2 international titles, and they are probably going to win this one as well, which obviously is a great argument for them being nr. 1 of all time. From an individual perspective I would even agree that they are the greatest team of all time. The only team that is on a comparable level in terms of firepower is LOUD in 2022.

The issue with fnatics run is that since franchising started competition just got worse and worse, and you can only really judge the greatness of a team by how good their opposition is. The evemts they have won so far really had bad competition. One was single elimination when no team had any reps, and in the other ones the 2 best teams were one team with a standin for their superstar and the other one is EG who arent even a top 10 team of all time.

FNC isnt really that much better then the sum of their parts really. The team who got the most of their parts is probably Optic. Loud on the other hand just is the perfect mix of individuals and overall team performance.

Competition got worse since franchising. Loud, NRG, NAVI, DRX have all fallen of a cliff and are PRX and FNC today better then the top teams of last year? I mean you can only judge a teams greatness by how good their rivals were.

look up eg danny.

I literally wouldnt do anything rn. Honestly couldnt think of a move
