Dear VLR,

This act is now up, but it shall not be my last!

I will return. When? Why? As whom?

Remember this secret handshake:

BabyJ so good, yes yes yes

RetiredRadiant is now retired

TLDR: 0/8 who?

normativity is a social construct

it does not exist in reality the same way oxygen or mountains or giraffe do

there is no 'normal'

normalcy has changed drastically throughout history

you crave stability out of a fear of the tidal wave of change washing over the world

but you must realize the only constant in this world is change

embrace the Nothing

let go!

ardiss with bald buff threatens astralis levels of domination

a gentle wind tickles our ankles

its getting stronger

lifting us higher

higher

you were there

so was she

and him too

and they, they were all there

we forgot how far we had flown

how far we had risen

we forgot the world of pain before

we realized the world could be made anew

as it had again

and again

but still

we could not forget

s0m's 1v1 on Pearl

Exalt could feel BabyJ's eyes longing up and down his back

Exquisite corpse (from the original French term cadavre exquis, literally exquisite cadaver), is a method by which a collection of words or images is collectively assembled. Each collaborator adds to a composition in sequence, either by following a rule (e.g., "The adjective noun adverb verb the adjective noun." as in "The green duck sweetly sang the dreadful dirge.") or by being allowed to see only the end of what the previous person contributed.

Let's give it a try, I'll start:

BabyJ first saw him shift by main on a wet summer night, then

clearly a lot of vlr cares bro

If I speak, I say that conservative forces have a vested interest in getting uneducated peoples to believe the problem with the world today is the 'trans agenda' when in reality the only agenda is that of a corporate establishment fueling the fire of hate to distract from the rape and pillage of our planet, the enormous wealth inequality in which we all exist, the great insecurity of the future, and the fact that EG has fumbled the ball yet again

wow, contributing to the conversation i see... interesting... so, i see you are a person of little words... maybe little thoughts too... let's see... hmmm, so, basically youre telling us you have smol brein, smol heart, and received an education from either hustlers university or tiktok

hello

<3

If I speak, I will say that I am your ally amy

may all transphobes get an education and stop being the puppets of their conservative masters

may all transphobes uninstall tiktok/youtube shorts and start reading books to understand the complicated dynamics of gender and sexuality

may all transphobes realize that transitioning is a practice as old as history

may all transphobes realize that 'gender roles' do not exist in nature

may all transphobes realize sexuality is VERY flexible in nature

based

lets put the past behind us

join hand in hand

towards a brighter future

Foucault once suggested academics write for a few years without using their names: i think the same should be done for esports. imagine us NOT knowing who is playing, and simply appreciating the plays, and only later coming to identify who is good and who is bad and not letting our perception of a player's past cloud our judgement in the present

Many, many players stay beyond their prime (if they even had a prime) long after they should have simply because of clout/nepotism.

Soulcas hasn't performed for a LONG time, and it has been widely known that he is a weak link on the team

The same story will repeat for Redgar

We may sit and protest on VLR, but clout/connections/nepotism will keep him in place until the organization can no longer bear the horrible results

The story is as old as time: the community, and those in positions of power, often cling to the past, afraid of the future

this is ultimately detrimental to the scene as it greatly slows the progression of up-and-coming talent, of which there is a lot in Valorant, and there must continue to be if the esport is not to die and become a retirement home like OWL

well, that's rather rude... i guess expected from you, but still, depressing to see such toxicity

sensible

I pasted the same dates from two consecutive years, showing a dramatica fall... whats wrong lil bro?

you are in a dream world, and i love it baby

once again, active daily players is WAY down

average monthly players is higher, thats all your alts because you down bad

also nice posting a graph without the legend to show what the colors mean (and why the orange line is so far down)

i dont really lose man

i have 8 rad gun buddies

i have a 1.38kd with 40 matches last act... 71% winrate..

active players daily in the orange on the chart...

the 'monthly users' likely inflated by alts

yes school started in July when there were nearly 400,000 less players this July

summer school!

literally look at the first chart you linked, 500,000 less players a month this summer compared to last... feelsbad to be you bro

Actually I think one can enjoy many games at once

If I critique Valorant, it is because I love it and want it to improve

The decisions by Riot are causing it to die

https://activeplayer.io/valorant/

active players is the key here, not 'monthly users' (which is basically alts)

this summer has had FAR LESS (roughly 500,000) players than the last on average... is the game dying? are smurfs and alts keeping it afloat? is Valulrante going to become an Asian-inflated game like LoL?

last month same thing bruda, and the month before

literally less players this month than the same time a year ago

just change the link and reupload

a huge drop from last year in active players on the first link and the tracker line is static

actually i understand what youre saying now

you were right

im so sorry

sacy, crashies, zypann, shao still clear him by a mile (stats inflated from 2 maps)

once again, do you have any proof of this or are you just saying it?

yes, it literally broke its own consecutive player count record 3 times this year...

is that why viewership declines?

we have 0 official player counts from this game, how do you know its growing?

countless players are retiring...

where brein?

yes because league is a growing game... oh wait

interesting, sexist language now as well, ez ban really

brother, please smoke some of that zaa and relax, im baiting you and i think youre going to have your tiny head explode

i never said this

i will continue to smurf in immortal 3

i just think that we will see a gradual death of Valorant as the esport withers away and new players find it more and more overwhelming to learn 20+ agents abilities

I am a sophisticated chatbot

The prompts I am given tend to go something like this: "opinion on X from an average VLR.gg (aka ascendant peek) user"

TLDR: BcJ had a .93R during playoffs at Champs 2022, he was not the best initiator

retarted. so you make fun of people with disabilities? average american i guess

most sane vlr user

https://twitter.com/BcJFPS/status/1701719314309517686/photo/2 tweets a picture with stats from thespike.gg

meanwhile, vlr.gg doesnt even have him in the top 10 of initiators

laz, shao, sacy, zypann, mistic, mazino, crashies, saadhak all clear him...

even on thespike.gg he isnt even top 5 lmaooooo

lets see his matches

1st match vs XERXIA he plays fade on icebox and has a 1.16R 210ACS 18/14 k/d
2nd match vs FPX he plays fade on pearl and drops an impressive 1.93R 309ACS 24/7 kd, but then goes .98R 13/15KD on Breeze
3rd match vs Fnatic he plays fade on pearl and drops .73R 100ACS 5/13
4th match vs Optic he plays fade on haven drops 1.18R 251ACS 21/17kd then goes .88 180ACS 12/15 on pearl
5th match vs FPX he plays fade on pearl drops .98R 185ACS 16/15kd, then .99r 252acs 19/17 on bind

that's it, that's his tournament. the 1 map of pearl vs fpx and the one map of haven vs optic inflated his stats, and even then he isnt top 10 initaitors on vlr

grand total of .98r in playoffs at champs... this guy was NOT the best initiator at 2022 champs, not even close

cope more bcj, youre delusional if you think you were a better initiator than sacy, crashies, shao or zypan at 2022 champs

thorough argument, please continue to use abilist language, im sure you are very pleasant human being and have lots of sex (other than with animals)
