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

nah u got cooked bro

given the circumstances, he probs felt like he had to make a play there

c9 changed igls and this eg roster is temporary

They're sen fans. If they win 1 map, sen's the best team in the world and if they drop 1, they're the worst. Ik because I'm unfortunately one of them

I saw someone in tariks chat saying "oxy makes neon look balanced" :(

The event obviously has problems, but people are just hating for the sake of it. Complaining about a lot of sentinels related ads during the beginning of a sentinel's event is moronic and displays a poor understanding of the world of esports as a whole

when I say '"non-issues", I'm using it relatively

who's playing controller on fpx now?

this might genuinely be one of the biggest "non-issues" to complain about lmao

last stage was at least on their twitch unless I'm hallucinating

did lpl not get the rights for stage 3?

does this put autumn or berlin on controller full time?

Too early for neon as well imo, at least with how the agent works now. You could split it up into a pre 8.11 and post 8.11 but that's probably somewhat antithetical to the "spirit" of these sorts of discussions.

I love this team istg I'm not just shitting on them for the fun of it

this shouldn't be a hot take tbh, there are 25 agents in the game and monyet can probably play 23 (maybe 24) of them at a higher level than jinggg. having players as flexible as forsaken and d4v41 feels like a waste if they're constantly having to play around a raze 1 trick and a guy who's second best agent is fkn reyna. Idk how good monyet would be on jett but switching to someone who can play jett, raze and neon feels like it would provide some much-needed consistency for the other 3. maybe jinggg and something are just absolute vibe gods outside of the game though.

first I'm hearing of this

when the post's so good you can't tell if they're baiting or unironically crashing out

alfa, woot, riens, atakaptan and yetujey

bit much mate

it's PessiPenaldo17, is that even a question?

me when I lie

going off of scrims, they're insane

most of the time on attack and retake, initiator util is being used after controller and sentinel util has been used, meaning that they're less likely to be directly taking part in the big gunfights that occur during executes, which tends to lead to lower kills and damage per round. Fade probably struggles with this more than sova since her util tends to come out a bit slower.

edit: shock darts help as well

none of the teams they beat actually looked good unfortunately, unless we want to count an impaired fnc. They generally do well against other ema teams though which is why I said internationally

edit: *emea

The skye nerfs were definitely a massive blow to his agent pool but he's easily still good enough for apac tier 1. Recon initiators are generally expected to preform worse than the other roles anyway, so I feel like acting as though he's just going to be a drag on whatever korean roster he finds himself on next is a bit unfair.

waste of an import slot for cn, especially with all the great russian players they have easy access to due to server locations

it's only good because it punishes people's habits, no different than people going for "wide swings"

I feel like kru is a bit better than fut but they both love shitting the bed internationally so the comparison is definitely fair lol

probably a hot take but victor's neon and raze are still world class, he just didn't abuse the new broken slides as well as someone like kangkang did

off season bo1 where teams play multiple matches a day is the definition of a mickey mouse tourny, these results rlly don't matter at all

Curry and Reduxx were almost certainly never meant to be the 4th and 5th since Curry is their sub and Reduxx wouldn't be allowed to play in vct until split 1. They're "stand-ins" until partnered teams are allowed to officially announce roster additions on the 7th of October.

"d1 hating" but I respect it lmfao

OMFG what a series. Spg threw, but boom threw harder, sloppy valorant wins again. all jokes aside, neon + judge on attack when u have way more than enough to buy a rifle instead is just stupid and shouldn't be viable in a tactical shooter. I hope they revert the neon slide buffs and improve her other util to make her a more interesting agent to both play and watch instead of run 'n' gun shenanigans.

maybe heretics vs edg would've been more hype if the community didn't bash heretics so much for shit talking at madrid idk, not that that should've stopped them tbf

they technically are because they didn't qualify as they were invited. I don't think reduxx and curry are going to be part of the final roster anyway, especially since the latter wouldn't've turned 18 until the season had already started

the event itself is "listed" but nothing else abt it is unfort

Ppl are angry for whatever reason and being able to hate on something together makes them feel like that anger is being validated. It's just idiots being idiots, don't let it affect you :)

"No famous athletes" is the most obvious bait I've ever seen, especially for someone w/ a fake japan flag lmao

damn that sucks, hope he's feeling better for tomorrow then. thx for the info

rip what happened to him

Talon makes a tweet showing their support for JFT, shocking the entire Thai val community. Betrayed, FS tilts so hard that JFT are able to get away with running it down w/ iso every round and pull off the greatest upset in VCT history.

if JFT win this, I'm getting their logo tattooed on my chest

losing 3/4's of ur maps 3-13 is rough, can't help but think the fancy might've done a fair bit better

ikr, austria is just the worst :(

His stats at from the past few matches weren't good but I thought he was still looking solid for most of the year?

Unironically the goat. Maybe not the best of all time, but definitely the greatest.

Crypto throwers used to be a massive issue predominantly on the NA servers over a year ago but a lot of that died when the 2022 nft hype did. I don't remember riot doing much if anything to stop it, so your best bet is probably going to be through complaining to tencent directly, especially if they'rve already tried to crack down on this stuff in the past.

regardless of what it is, it should've gone to chichoo :(
