What hs% is considered high in valorant, just curious to compare it in cs, where above 55% is high, but I have seen people say 30% is high in val?

F1 has been hyping up the Title Fight since Miami. Max gained points on Lando since then :D

CS Go had it's first back to back 3 years after the first major, Dota in year 8-9 and Lol in year 5-6 I believe

CS is the most brainless sport to exist by rules

When do we think it will happen?
For reference, CS got their first back to back winners in fnatic in 2015
LoL had their first back to back worlds winner in 2016
Dota had their first back to back TI winner in 2019.
So when can we realistically expect a double champ winner, or can we even?

''other live action hero shooters get far more frequent and impactful updates while valorant barely changes.''
really liked those updates in siege, and ubi's earthbreaking idea of '' if it's fun, it's broken''

I trust Riot to balance an fps with agents more than I have ever trusted Ubi or Blizzard

cologne, major, chengdu, dallas, rio all peak wtf

but that's just a reality of franchising

how the fuck are teams burn out with 3 LANs in a year?

I would argue that an astralis era has done more good than bad for cs, 2019 scene has been incredibly good before covid

franchising has its problems, but not the ones you described

meta changes prevent eras

They are playing in fucking off season, that's like grading Football Teams by friendlies

5 rounds into the off season boys and girls :D

goat FPS region for a reason

long term past and short term past are two different things. since scream has left there have been 5 different majors, 4 new major winner orgs, dozens of new players entering top 20, plenty of new orgs debuting at tier 1 events, meta changing, etc. That's like asking if you worked out this day or 3 years ago, does the work out 3 years ago hold relevance today? there have been way more accomplished players also falling off, dupreeh, magisk, snax, pasha, taz,neo, stewie2k, autimatic, kennys, fallen, coldzera, fer, olofmeister, guardian, NBK, kioshima, electronic, flamie, get_right, f0rest, JW, Flusha, etc

well it's pretty much m4a1-s from cs but on crack. Like firepower is slightly higher, that shit has 30 bullets + insta hs until 20 metres + better spray pattern +accuracy, vandal is literally useless :D

most of his events come in 2016-2017, that was 8 years ago, move past that unc.

run and gun nerfed, phantom buffed, holy shit Ws.

these stats are irrrelevant, his stats dropped with every year of competition, 1.01 on lan against tier 2 is not good (https://www.hltv.org/stats/players/7390/scream?startDate=2019-01-01&endDate=2019-12-31&matchType=Lan), 0.98 against top 30, which is pretty much the upper tier 2 level, is bad (https://www.hltv.org/stats/players/7390/scream?startDate=2019-01-01&endDate=2019-12-31&rankingFilter=Top30), from 1.30 in 2012 to 1.17 in 2013 to then dropping to around 1.1 with all the big event filters

come on bro, he was one of the first arrivals, played at tier 1 from 2012 to 2017, then played at random stacks, last org was gamerlegion where he posted a mid 1.05 rating, no one gives a crap rn about his heroics during grandpa days

washed in CS, the only teams I can see picking him up are some tier 4 teams whose whole gimmic is just ''legendary player + 4 randoms''

afaik turks have one of the worst visa situations among europeans (with russians taking number 1).

Either ange1 pulls a zeus 2018 and resurrects the org or Navi valorant joins their brotherly team in navi dota

he is actually a 2nd most notable Moldova pro player in any big game, 1st one was Save from Dota

I mean now it's joever, most kids are either at brawl stars or pubg or CS

I will forever remember ubi's genius fix of jaeger, from a fun playable character in a mid game to a shit character who is totally useless

nah It's good, I understood everything, but when their relationship ends ( and I genuinely hope i am wrong) I will be the first to say that it was to be expected

wanted to spoil the day you divorce your future wife but it came back as fiction

ended their relationship in a most toxic way, talked for a few hours trauma dumping, went into the same river for the third or fourth time, I legit need this delusion in my gaming sessions

I mean I was always wondering how some women end up with fucking sub 50 iq pieces of human scum who abuse them on daily basis yet they still talk about how '' they can fix them'' but now I am just asking myself what the fuck am I witnessing in a way smaller scale

see I understand that but when both of them talk for 3 weeks about how they are both over it and how the relationship was toxic and they just jump in the same boat, I wish for the best for them, but that just screams 1 month long relationship max

I don't get that shit at all, They pull that shit for a 3rd time now, and I asked the friend who fucking invited one of them over together for no reason what so ever and without telling anyone else and his point was : ''well we didn't hang out with him recently (he hang out with him 3 fucking days ago). Like I am just 100% positive the ex BF just begged to go cuz he listens to his dick and not to his brain

I mean when shit hits the fan I will be the first to talk with who I fucking want to, I am not in a fucking American Congress, I do not have to choose a party, it doesn't work like that, if anyone will shove that shit in my throat I will just I either cut ties with them or argue into accepting

I expected her to cope, but this guy was going all stoic af for like a month and then just begged my friend into inviting him to hang out as well just to talk to her, bro faked being non chalant just to turn into a simp basically in front of everyone, wow

hanged out yesterday with that girl (and like 7 other people) and she publically said that she don't give a fuck about him :D. Like i even know how that shit goes down, there are a few weeks of a calm relationship, they love each other, shit explodes at her birthday, nervous meltdown, friend group totally fucked over cuz they will hate each other's guts => GG

Yeah but fucking why? Both are like 8/10 in appearance, might as well go forfeit this one (cuz it has been a toxic dump at times) and just get new relationships with someone more calm. I refuse to believe they are this restarted and delulu rn not to see that going into a ''good-shit-terrible-mid-ignore-good'' mood swing is just ''let's end our relationship in a fucking chernobyl level meltdown and have everyone else around us struggle to choose a side cuz all of us are friends''

like me and the other friends are in contact with both of them ( cuz we all are basically the same friend group) and both went from ''yeah fuck him/her, he/she is a jerk/bitch'' to ''I miss him/her''. They are out there on a fucking Anime Dialogue and I just wanna eat my Royal Cheeseburger. I need this level of delusion for my fucking lose streaks, that's just fucking beyond me

Crazy work from a friend of mine, on and off relationship for 5 months now, going from ''I don't care about the break up bro'' to ''I really miss her'' in a span of 9 hours, generational talent, more twists and turns than Mbappe to Real Madrid

oh, well I guess s1mple :D first big esports game I have seen fully was navi vs faze at starseries Kyiv where, just him being so much better than other players was a joy to watch

I made a vow not to watch international games of my national team until our head coach is fucking gone (we lost 3-0 to ROMANIA and were afraid of a washed Belgium)

Rare Atom will shut your mouth and bring glory to China

based on all 3 takes

what stops bro from going to CS if he needs a tac shooter :D

Nah fuck off Fallen rolled back the years just to get 0-3'd and top 16 3rd time in a row

toothless defense on anubis, scared of fallen in big ol 2024

I still feel like riot won't lose a ton if they pay more for an ascension event

Tier 2 just doesn't give any money throughout the season for those less fortunate to get to ascension. you have to compete a full year for 1 slot for an entire region just to play 1 year and maybe even get kicked for some tier 1 reject with ''experience''. Orgs won't join the league as well because the risk is so high, msot of the time the players are just a mix of players with no salary, a.k.a na cs scene in 2020 before valorant

for the org or for the players?
for the org: Extreme Risk, High Reward for VCT Competition; Low Risk, Decent Reward for GC;.
for the player: Extreme Risk, Short Term Reward for VCT; Practically no Risk, great reward for GC;
If the players had the right to play a full year of VCT, then yes, it does make sense, but there is no rule which prevents them from just signing a completely new roster
