definitely not "HenBabyH"

edg's "push up and play for individual picks" playstyle was bound to stop working once people adjusted and trace are generally pretty good with protocol compared to the rest of china.

the clove lotus comp also just isn't reliable enough to be your only comp on this map, especially now that teams have a decent amount of footage of it and practice against it post champs.

who would be the lakia of league?

"take a leaf" but yeah, kinda throwing his life away by trying to dodge every bullet.

loud... 3 years ago

the tejo effect

cool idea imo, I feel like they just didn't go far enough with it so it ends up looking like half of two separate Jerseys.

still can't believe he's allowed for kickoff, riot learnt nothing from the skye nerf timing last year. maybe next year we'll get a kickoff where teams get to actually use what they prepared during the off season.

this might genuinely be one of the most braindead valorant adjacent posts I've ever read, congrats

literally anyone else, my goat is perfect

The only map where I think there are "good" no-duelist comps is icebox. That being said, yoru is more of an initiator so depending on how you want to look at it, there are lots of maps where no-duelist is viable.

FURIA? They won 1 online, off-season tournament and now they're top 3 in Americas?

for all of its problems, the role compression that chamber provided led to an incredible amount of diversity when it came to viable comps that probably won't be seen again unfortunately

Too high? There are basically zero standards for the majority of valorant "influencers" wdym?

no idea if he broke twitch tos (not that anyone at twitch follows that shit anyway lol) but good riddance ig, he's definitely been a negative influence on the valorant community.

neither of them are really that entertaining imo, mooda's just louder

didn't lock in iso vs sen unfort

Were they really just expecting to land undercut + shock every time? What a throw lmao.

everyone will hopefully move on once this year's soop tourny ends

shanks and mooda are some of the most insufferable cunts in the "valorant influencer sphere". I know that tenz's recent complaints have rubbed some the wrong way but he's still a net positive for valorant that's actually able to competently regulate his community and accept responsibility.

pretty sure there's 3 matches today so they probably want to try and finish at around the same time

This is more soop's fault than anything else, but there are plenty of val streamers that are completely spineless when it comes to regulating their community.

buy specific shampoo and conditioner

might unironically be a 26-0 after seeing rlf at ascension

sen might be a slight upgrade as the year goes on depending on how well the new roles end up working. If N4rrate and johnqt go back to their old roles, I could also see that working seeing as N4rrate and zellsis are big yappers.

depends on how riot treats the game ig. if they keep focusing on esports and making changes based off of pro play, I could see the game lasting for a decent while seeing as the average valorant player seems to be far more aware of the competitive scene compared to most other games. stuff like the first clove nerf lessens my confidence a bit, this year has definitely had the most ranked related changes which doesn't make too much sense to me seeing as people knowingly play sub optimally in ranked.

lpl slander is always welcome

13-11 I stand corrected

I might agree on 2023 but 2022 is crazy considering how consistent mako and (to a slightly lesser extent) buzz were that year

not looking good so far

my goat

coz he's the goat

kangkang doesn't belong in A tier imo

why wouldn't you want that lmfao?

that just doesn't make sense, are you translating from a different language? Or are you trying to imply that it's unfair for the sen event to be bo3 because that makes it a "higher quality event" compared the kc event?

Is the argument that you want to watch less valorant? How would bo3 be overkill?

I don't think anyone's doubting nrg tbh, they look brilliant and most of what I've seen are people excited to see this roster preform during the regular season. I just hope this isn't a honeymoon phase and that they don't stagnate as the year goes on.

I mean sen weren't trying to create an event like like this in the first place, but I'd take bo3 over bo1 any day

most likely not, just growing pains from role swaps I'd guess

I'm obviously not just talking abt this thread then am I?

I kinda wanna see john and n4rrate swap roles. This roster is nuts, but the results won't be instant if players are still ajusting to new roles

so many ppl just changed their flair lmao, I've never seen so many nrg flairs in my life

it was already bo3 before the tourney started though?

wasn't it an eg dc? they won the remade round anyway as well ig

the community opinion of her is very positive but their best placement in 2024 was top 4 in kickoff. I'm not saying that she shouldn't get the final say, but I wouldn't be surprised if she doesn't get it.

potter said that this is the roster she wants for 2025 but when asked what the "temporary stuff" was about said "I just work here". I'm guessing that someone at eg wants to still make changes

Went +9 against sen and neutral against nrg and had lots of high impact moments. Definitely not in peak form but still a solid performance against 2 teams that are looking pretty good. Not sure how long EG have had w/ this roster though, wouldn't surprise me if potter has been trialing a different duelist.

yeah coz he's the goat fym?

Bleed or talon, probs. Maybe the loud tryouts after champs LA if that counts

might play jett if someone else is playing an agent with "dive-like" utility (yoru or omen basically)
