fam i'm a 32 year old man who barely has the time to watch T1 globals with a speckle of domestics. I WISH i had the time to get into t2. I'll just count it as a pleasant surprise if we get talent like mada yearly

tbh, they probably will. My big question is if they've faced G2 at all recently, wouldn't be surprised if that's their biggest test

Rip

trust me, my hands shook typing his name after that. I'm not saying john out for c0m, but for cryo or demon1? I'd think about. C0M being a Zellsis replacement isn't THAT different gun wise. Not like they'd get Sacy back, Verno might stay in mibr, and crashies chilling at FNC. Americas has an initiator shortage

"hey fam you hear about stonks?
Stocks?
uh, no stonks, heard It's like crypto heh
Banks: Can you scam people?
Uh maybe?
Banks: Run it"

That's how I imagined that convo went

I dream of a world where Optic made franchising, Yay never went to bleed, and if marved retired, or vic did, they'd have been replaced by s0m and mada... That would have been an NA powerhouse for years

good point GenG was real nasty and definitely broke that CS stigma that Asian teams could never beat Western ones on the big stage in an FPS. I'd give them extra points for crushing a decade long narrative

I was pretty sure they didn't let Optic in because H3cz has that weed company, no? And as CEO of the org, they thought it was some brand risk to associate. Least that's what I heard. I can kind of get that when forming the vct? But after all the drama and skeletons of the scene.... Like bleed. Seems a bit dumb with how much pull an org like Optic have, especially in fps games.

Faze being broke doesn't surprise me, Frat boys and business. Rip NiP. 🤔 watch it be a Saudi org 💀

see a lot of people mad about g2 talking to t1 midgame

Guys just responding, and I saw people getting butthurt at body shooting live again, so it's not like people don't cry about it

aren't teams up for review soon? Like next year? 100% gonna be Furia getting removed in Americas. Is GE the bottom contender in APAC?

What happened to all the EU orgs like NiP and Dignitas? Honestly riot should bring Faze and Optic in to give the Valorant console kids some teams to cheer for. Faze already has a EU CS team, why not val?

Optic Yay chamber era, and EG run to and through champs after getting demon1 are the best NA ones.
Best Era started by a single player igniting it? EG's for sure
GOATED era is FNC without a doubt
Idk the rest, maybe DRX for best game win streak at the start of the game for best domestic era?

pretty sure these are the imaginary ponderings of a questionable intellect fam, sorry you can't put on your social justice cape and public forum police cap on.

The hell did I read... Hop off the fan fic fam and start filling those ideal thoughts with the Roman Empire or something 💀

Well, that IS an arguable point right now.

who?

I'll tell y'all a secret, no one gives a shit about 12-year-olds soft fragile emotions and adults with arrested development crying on twitter, reddit, and discord because players do mean things during passionate and heated competition. I know sad no one cares about their feefees. Now get back to enjoying men blowing each other's brains out in a virtual space and being able to respawn 💀

Lol, I mean we all know Zellsis is the weak link. After that I'd be looking at john tbh, when compared with like Valyn for example, his gun skills are really rough. Honestly, I'd get c0m for int, and if they want cryo/demon1 John. Will need to switch roles or get the boot

Why? She's not even good at a single thing she does in her kit lol. Smokes? Viper and Omen, Astra and Brim are better. The dizzy is shit, iso has two invulnerable as a duelist, that goes through walls... Plenty of agents have that same function and better, like viper or fade. Her rez is arguably worse than phoenix, as she comes out at 100 and has to be killed to use it... Only shit that's good is the speed boosted heal assuming you don't lose your fight by one tap. She's not used in pro play for a reason, she's just eh

This is almost sadly true, almost. Liquids always been a shitty C9 to me, and C9 isn't that great to start with

shit just look up chokuid's worse moment when they had simple. Coldzera on mirage 😂 Liquid choking happened in League too

Skadoodle

size of smokes. Clove got them baby orb smokes

Kinda, it was certainly the double site presence and ability to escape any insane dipshit off angle or peak in an instant. Limiting it to one pilon or beacon... Whatever it's called. that fixed the former, and the delay fixed the later. My point being chamber could do that as many times as the cooldown allowed, but the problem was that he could do it period, not how often. Yoru has that same problem, because he can send his tp, and use it to get to places all over the map he really shouldn't be able to go, at the range and safety levels he has while doing it. At least chamber had to set up physically close to himself

Just goes to show you that when all the chips are on the table, even the greatest can fold from the pressure. Honestly 60/40 seems right, though like you I was thinking like 70/30

I agree, but so was chambers across the map tp. Didn't make it balanced tho now did it ? 😂

Cope, having first seeds bomb in groups isn't a good look for any region, regardless of if they're the. "best" Team in the region or not... Not like anyone actually can claim being the best unless they're lifting that champ's trophy.

Confidence is key to a lot of things in life. In Valorant? Aim duels is big one. People think yay is more comfortable as a player with chambers kit. At this point I think he's just cooked tbh. Dude has no faith

Nah. Was considered a kickoff tournament. Kinda like how the leagues had their own this year.

Hearing asuna on comms makes me wonder how much adderall they are dosing that kid with.... And they still suck. I love nade, but this valo team aibt bringing him a trophy this year looool

I loved Tokyo but Madrid is up there

Can't wait for y'all not to win a single masters or champ this year. Wonder what the cope will be then?

They do but they ain't going anywhere this year while mini boo is still off and on the roster due to school. Should be a real nasty team after that tho

My man living in the past so hard he's still colonial 💀😂

SEN, PRX, EDG

I think NRG has the best kayo in tge world on that map. Ethan just clears everyone they play on it lol. Even SEN. Louds ascent comp would not work on nrg if it can't even clear eg

Ascent: NRG
Split: SEN
Breeze: SEN
Icebox: LOUD
Bind: Loud
Lotus: KC

The fact john is on there is nutty. He's got himself a helluva rookie vct season for himself cooking if he can lead SEN to winning Madrid

It's in a healthy spot. Def bigger viewership in the states now. With NA being pretty dead in cs or well.... Anywhere not EU

It's not going anywhere like Overwatch. And it's doing way better than them console fps esports like cod and halo

For a regional? Like 70k max. Still I'd call this a major LAN tournament which max you'd maybe get 300k to 700k in year 4 of the video game.

Where cs kinda shits on valorant is majors tho. Not really a contest

Honestly, 100t. Asuna needs to go

I mean we talking like from 1.6 or csgo?

Nah. EU gets ran through by nrg this year. My boys won't drop a single tournament

Jawg on prx would be hype

i mean they still are

Really just did y'all dirty 😂

Had eg winning in my pickems. Never doubted dawgemo or potter

Potter is the genius, jawg that evil daaaawg. Holy shit dude has no respect for them loool

Loud lost lol. Holy shit

Sorry but nrg isn't losing a tournament this year.
