There's supposed to be cables connecting the entire US west coast and north western Mexico

so why do I have better ping playing from Tijuana to Illinois and N. Virginia servers than I do playing from Tijuana to California servers?

What I'm saying is I'd like for the rest of the world to continue to stay competitive--not for Korean teams to downgrade their quality of play

Im happy that Korea is a competitive region but I really don't want this game to turn into league where they're just completely dominant lol

same could be said for miniboo, N4rrate, tomaszy, and marteen last year

judging players by whether or not they were lucky enough to have their potential seen by the coach of a tier1 team doesn't make any sense

From my experience I feel like if you do really good for a while your MMR gets inflated and it keeps trying to put you in higher and higher mmr lobbies with people with much higher MMR than you, in order to test your limits and find out where you're really at--and as a way to lower the average MMR of your team as a whole to equalize things between both teams, but then when you start losing after that point it starts putting you in lower lobbies to raise the average mmr of your team--essentially expecting you to be their carry.

and unless you have that dog in you you're kinda fucked if you don't play duelist and the game is expecting you to carry your lobby. This is systemic discrimination against cypher mains ong

not only that, they would have finished 2nd, 1st, and 1st in all three tournaments.

Gambit was actually the perfect Org

The style, the simplicity but power of the logo, somehow making a black and red color scheme not feel overdone amongst teams like SEN, 100T, G2.

Idk those jerseys were clean. They felt like an org id want if I was a pro player

alecks basically controls everything about that team tf you mean?

okay that part with FNS specifically was not that serious

posted 5 months ago

can you elaborate

posted 5 months ago

No because FUT is still comparatively better than the other teams in EMEA

(EDIT: Because a team is only good if you are comparing them to other teams; i.e. FUT would be good if every team around them was T2 challengers level)

It's literally more inefficient. just because something can work doesn't mean that's the best way to do it.

do you realize how hard it is to learn two separate roles?
the value you're wasting by putting someone on an off role to accomodate another player?
the amount of prac hours wasted trying to teach someone to flex onto a new agent that they otherwise wouldn't have had to?
Having a duelist that can play both raze and jett saves you soo many headaches that demon1's aim is not worth it

posted 6 months ago

??? since when did I say I had anything against flex players?

yes you should have someone on your team that can flex to other roles but your duelist shouldn't be that person

posted 6 months ago

last time I checked:

Potter built a team around jawgemo playing jett and raze

chet's attempt failed both times with ardiis and demon1

anything alecks does is the exception not the rule

there's a reason they put tenz off Jett permanently why did you even use that as evidence??? THEY DID NOT WIN A TOURNAMENT WITH TENZ PLAYING JETT EVER LOL

the only valid point you made was d00mbros

posted 6 months ago

something is the exception not the rule.

If your main jett can actually flex it's different than having a jett one trick who's only potential other role is brim or astra

posted 6 months ago

Yes yes if you have a team that can miraculously fill each others roles it works

but who the fuck builds a machine with tangled wires?

To fit demon1 on a roster you need to get someone into an off role so the person that's supposed to play that role can flex to raze, and then your jett player has to fit either of the other two's roles.

Teams with the best players have specialized roles.

And while yes, Demon1 is cracked, there are dozens more duelists I would rather have on my team than him. His aim doesn't mean shit if he's not even a good entry fragger on the duelist role. To excel he needs to play slow and methodically, and that's not what I want from my jett player.

It's wasted talent but he'd be a waste of money on G2 or NRG. The only two systems he would ever really work in are C9 or 100T

stop trying to make these shitty "x on jett y on raze" comps

just pick up a duelist that can play both jett and raze

Demon1 can't raze

posted 6 months ago

I feel like that's what's holding Icy back tho. It's like the Cned effect. sometimes certain duelists can only perform when you give them a certain amount of freedom to do what they want.

I was considering OXY too but idk if he'd work well within G2's rigid structure

posted 6 months ago

G2 Jawgemo or G2 Sayaplayer unironically

Saya is the most disciplined duelist in VCT and he meshes really well with TGRD core, because well... he's part of them.

He has the duelist flexibility they need and he isn't going to have trouble adapting to their system while still popping off from time to time

This is why I love watching Chinese teams.

They prove that mechanics and individual playmaking ability are still a big factor in the equation, and that valorant isn't just purely about minimizing teamplay fundamental mistakes and coordinated util usage

although I will say on Sunset FPX was actually ahead of FUT in terms of working the map and macro; FUT was playing reactively since they weren't comfortable playing against such a weird comp and FPX kept drawing rotates

on Icebox though it was the most individual plays out of all 3 maps LOL

posted 6 months ago

I counted over a dozen individual plays that clutched rounds for them; their mechanics are definitely above everyone else's
