Wwwew

Cs butterfly only has the inspect. This game just brings cool animations that could never happen in CS.

Having played CS and Val for a while, I have to admit this knife is the best in terms of quality.

Stocked up on VP to get it asap in EU

The 2 EG fans will surely make a noise

W, these Indians worship idols then try to side with Russia and Israel to be relevant

Thinking of launching a Val related blog so I'll hire you as main writer for sure if I do

Also I got 0 RP so buying the set just to use them without upgrades for 2 weeks is not it.

Make his wall able to to do a 360 so he can create situations to plant like a smoke and also flash out of it.

Ive already got Vandal so Im just gonna get the knife and chill

Victor compliments star aimers like yay with so much space and distraction whenever he plays Raze or Neon but soulcas has been very inconsistent. When you have Scream who is miles ahead of yay, being a weaklink due to agent inflexibility should not be an excuse. If he can replicate a good mastery of secondary duelists going forward then Liquid should keep him otherwise get a regional player.

L

It comes out for EU tommorow sadge

Can't backtrack after sayiny bad aim bad brain

Wrong its Derke

They lost btw

Insanity is trying the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

I think -soulcas is a foregone conclusion at the moment.

Jamppi is too good mechanically to let go for an IGL. Scream is transitioning fully to entry so its best to get rid of soulcas and add an IGL from one of regional leagues. Link is consistent and solid controller so I wouldn't change him just yet.

Sorry FNATIC Fearoth baby!

BEST NA IGL IS V1 VANDER

Sheydos alone can match yay and there is no answer for Derke, Chronicle or nAts

If FNS can win Masters then Boaster can too. This underhand hate towards Boaster is not needed. Aim is not everything in this gamr.

Fearoth is a decent Sova but his calmness under pressure and big brain is what Fnatic needs alongside Boaster

That's not the case. Fearoth doesn't want to IGL, he is joining as the Sova and will help Boaster in mid round calls.

Fearoth was playing with Fnatic during scrims with Derke in the lineup. He has also left Alliance.

Derke exists.

Yep, I'm excited for this team. If Alfajer turns out to be an aim god then we have a very strong lineup for Masters 2.

Fnatic doesn't have much finances to buyout top players. They are cash strapped atm with other esports teams.

Minijake was talking about the sentinel player with similar fragging power to Derke. Looks like its going to be Alfajer and with Fearoth rumours becoming almost true we have:

Boaster - Smokes / IGL
Mystic - Flex
Derke - Duelist
Alfajer - Sentinel / Neon flex
Fearoth - Sova

Source: Boaster stream right now!

Guess

Cned, zeek, starxo and who?

Got to hear about NA Val until Masters 2 when the big boys come to play.

G2, Faze

Derke and the boys have been practicing with Fearoth and a 5th random player during trials so looks like Fearoth will be our Sova going to Masters 2 Qualifiers.

Fan perspective: Personally I really like Fearoth and his calm demeanor and personality and previous IGL experience will be valuable for Boaster as well as Fnatic. He has a good aim and brains to back up so I am very happy with the pickup if they do confirm it.

Fnatic id currently trialling. From what I know my boy Fearoth left Alliance after Iceland. Most likely Fnatic liked him as a Sova and thought he adds value to calls with Boaster so they decided make an offer and get him in permanently. The other players are for trials to find chemistry and fit. Most likely announcement soon.

Ive seen this post and decided to make a short tldr version

"Valorant has slower movement" - It's easier to hit pixel shots in CS than Valorant because when you fast wide peek, it's almost impossible to reactively flick the shot. Pros tried it and they miss a lot.

"Run and gun" - Yes running and gunning happens but thats due to the random bullet tracers of guns like the spectre with low recoil but bigger spread. You cannot run and gun all game without stopping for kills so that's overexaggerated and something that is very rare in pro play and higher elo.

" Too many clown abilities" - That's what makes Valorant unique, the ability to be a tactical shooter with movement mechanics and agent spice.

TLDR: Easier mechanics = even playing field that leads to harder competition. The best players will always be more impactful regardless of how easy the game is.

Optic deservedly won and congrats to them but this Masters had a lot of caveats for EMEA teams including mine however Masters 2 will have even tougher competition, most likely a revamped Fnatic with Derke, FPX and M3C. Not hating on Optic but if we are being completely unbiased then it was pretty clear out of Loud and Zeta, Optic was going to win due to experience and finals against Gambit in Masters 2 last year. Also taking a break from Valo and coming back after exams which will be at the beginning of Challengers 2 in 2 weeks.

Yes watching Loud play like this makes my stomach hurt.

Im so done with Loud, constantly dropping rounds to stupid plays.

you're on crack. Optic is more experienced and they have been to finals of masters last year.

Based

Lucky push = gamesense according to vlr.gg

I will seriously lose it if I see Loud casually losing and giving thrifty. Ascent was so winnable but they lost twice on eco ffs.

Teams keep giving them free map space and lose the round and the series. It's like they lost once to ecos then freely give mid back again for the next eco and over peek to lose the game.

Marved gets free mid every fucking time why can't someone just contest mid during eco. Thats 2 easy rounds lost in the market.

3-0 Optic

Title.

Optic make it all the way just to get out.

W, owned him.

Haven was 50/50 but no way you pick Fracture 2nd instead of banning it when you can't deal with the Neon. Their map veto was disastrous, basically gave Optic 3 of their comfortable picks except Ascent.
