Fr. Destined to be the most useless duelist until the end of time. I cringe 90% of the time when I have a Reyna on my team that's playing her like a sentinel and baiting everyone

I'm praying for a quickfix

I'd take laz over dep imo

Dep is Hella inconsistent. High highs, low lows. Meiy has been one of the best duelists in pacific in his first season, versus two years on the same team.

I'll admit I haven't played league, but it's always had an extremely toxic culture, similar to valorant at the worst of times. Theyre both free games, people can make a million accounts, thereby being able to elude punishment when being dickheads. I see the reasoning behind it, not that I agree, but if they do timed hardware bans, it would be significantly more effective at policing players than the current system.

Would also reduce the amount of people playing on a consistent basis though. I usually play late at night, and maaaaaan, this would be nice to have when someone gets on smurf just to troll

Victor actually played well on every duelist in the DRX series except when he played neon, an agent people used to dickride for playing pre-meta. His jett was super average, but I think that was kinda expected when players like him took the agent up while teams' star players went chamber only

Fr tho, Optic was just a team who played it on fracture/breeze/haven earliest. I think Rb's neon and potentially f0rsaken's were better att.

Now its miniboo who's goated on neon rn

You're definitively correct, BUT, in a league with FUT, NaVi, and fnatic, top 3 is a still a good finish.

Better than top 3 in Americas/Pacific imo

Is KOI trying to pick up wedid?

I feel like he may struggle to comm in polish, he's about as polish as tex is german

Pretty sure the guy wanted a break with stuff going on in his personal life too though. I agree w/ you though

Pretty sure Karon came straight out of ranked

The rest of the Gen G roster has players who have been on top KR teams/in franchising

Its just recency bias, people said the same about jjk when it first came out, despite the first season honestly being super boring after re-watching it last season.

Shiiiit, I need you at my investment consultation firm. We don't care about things have happened throughout human history, and we act like we know what's going to happen in the future anyways! You'll fit right in.

I'm the only employee btw, and it's an autocracy. I'll expect your resumé under the welcome Matt, right in front of the plywood door.

Excuse of being a pro to travel the world ig

If they want Champs then they have to pick up reduxx too.

-crashies +verno
-victor +reduxx
-s0m +v1c

Unrelated, but it blows my mind how much talent is in NA VCL rn, and the earthshattering amount of washed players there are in franchised teams. Specifically NRG and C9

How tf is a SEN fan gonna complain about hero plays.

Just be happy an ascension team actually made it to an international event ig?

I see your confusion, but people from Southern Ontario recognize TO as Toronto, Ontario.

but like, can you name a single valorant event that was taken seriously, not organized by riot? If this was about CS2 then I'd totally understand the confusion.

I used to love both of them, but they fell off for me.

I'd think BC would actually be a better place to host.

Toronto sports venues would be hard to schedule the event for. More concerts, more sports events, and thus higher pricing to rent w/ venue owners.

Plus side to TO (Toronto, Ontario) would be greater fan turnout, and more people willing to cross the border from NY, MI, PA, et cetera to come see it. I'm sure riot will/has considered events in Canada. A large part of it could depend on the Visa availability of their staff.

He still gets mad viewers for how little he actually streams. If he were to just stream full time til the situation with his wife is sort of resolved, I'd guarantee you he at least gets on s0ms level of viewers

Yeah, all Chinese VCT matches don't have it.

I'm guessing it's something to do with data exchange outside of China. It was like this for all of the VCT matches in China.

I read 'u donkey' and realized you are the widely stereotyped British neckbeard

I can practically see your face after such ridiculous parentheses and genuine heresy, ahem, you donkey.

Idk about forced. He's great on defense as jett, but not that impactful on attack.

I do agree, great aim tho. I remember when he was coming up in CS, happy he's found success in val, but not a goated duelist, sadly.

I think he just meant as an organization in general. If you follow esports, you def know those orgs

Wrong year bruv

Leaf is the NA f0rsaken. Guy can play any role and clap cheeks, both on c9 last year and on G2 this year. Crashies isn't bad, but I honestly think eeui is a better initiator

Im confused, oxy was easily the best NA duelist last split. Carried tf outta c9. Would be a mistake to put d1 on main duelist after a fair amount of mediocrity

Hope they figure out their role problems. Find comps that have more comfort picks maybe? Kicks was known for his skye and has barely played it. Ik gekko is the new meta, but the whole team flexing with +5 agents played in the last 2 months is kinda crazy.

I think they swap out runner and maybe pick up kaajak, or they find a player who mains viper/2nd controller and sayf takes main duelist in runner's place

Tbh the guy makes a killing from streaming, I doubt he even wants to compete still.

Matches start at 4AM in Toronto. Idk if his sleep schedule is so fucked up that he would have the energy to stream both of them.

I have LEV winning in my pickems, but I could totally see the rest of the team shitting the bed and Gen G 2-0ing

It's never occurred to me how silly this sounds when people shout "WHO ARE WE???"

Unless you're being strangled because you're with one duo that's smurfing and another duo that's incapable of not flaming people not in their party

Shao is a different type of flex. I think he has higher peaks, but leo is def more consistent.

Zander was M80s best player in the regular season & mid season cup

Read the post

Okok

I could totally see fans having that perspective after their 100 to 0 turnaround post-madrid.

I'm not a huge SEN fan, but I like seeing good competition. Hope they bounce back.

Depends on your country and family. I was an occasional driver on my mom's car insurance plan for 5 years before getting my full license and buying my own car. If you're in a major city, it's bound to be terrible. I registered my vehicle in a suburb one of my parents live in. I pay $207 CAD/month, living in populous dense southern Ontario. Next year I'll be 25, so it'll drop even further from what it's at. Wayyyy better than other people I know.

Not sure how it works in most European countries, but in Canada it goes by provincial guidelines. In my province, we have a written G1 which you can complete as early as your 16th birthday, allowing you drive once passed with a full fledged G driver for practice. You can complete your G2 a year after that, and then your G within 5 years of completing your G2.

Get a hearing aid, significantly reduce MPO at frequencies above 1kHz, you'll be fine.

The occlusion might not be enough to drown their voices out, sadly.

Sometimes a break can be beneficial for a team. I imagine part of the struggle for them in S2 was a mix of burnout and other teams having TONS of their VODs to watch.

Imo valorant is way harder to keep form in a team than a lot of other eSports. The meta shifts pretty frequently, and I feel like there's almost always a way to counter how a team plays, as long as the support staff are doing their job. That's what makes team like prx so impressive.

May I ask what you do for a job, or what your education was?

I have a BA myself, and I won't necessarily get something linked to the field it was in, im doing a technical degree in college now. So ill admit that not all uni degrees are useful.

However, AI becoming as widespread in its influence today only bolsters how important STEM jobs are now and will be in the future. You need good grades for those fields, and it'll be more competitive as post-secondary populations expand. I took sociology, a subject I'm pretty grateful to have taken because it gave me a good worldview on things. You seem like a lot of people in my program who were just downright cynical in how they saw the world.

Hope I'm wrong. Otherwise, enjoy bouncing on the social safety net.

I have a feeling there's restrictions on players who already attempted to qualify not being allowed to play for a team who did. Could be wrong, but I remember this being an issue in CS some years ago.

Until I read this comment, I thought you were a troll. Now I realize you're just a piece of shit. Life is not just about valorant.

I don't think you know shit about sacrificing things for a career if you're suggesting someone not prioritize their basic secondary education. Even zywoo, easily one of if not the biggest name in counterstrike, skipped events to prioritize finishing their basic ed.

Good for zekken, that makes him the exception, not the rule though. He's also in an entirely different part of the world, so maybe there's a contrast between the intensity of curriculi, restrictions on exemptions from classes, among other things.

Seriously, you've either gotta be a naive teenager, or a man-child. I haven't prayed since I was a young catholic schoolboy, but tonight, ill be praying for you. Live well.

Idk the whole time I have to hear mimi and the tall skinny cross-dresser cast together all I can think is "get a room" in the most wholesome way possible.

Na'vi has a great team though. I'll agree to someone saying they're inconsistent though

Word. Not enough regular player between players from different continents. While I don't think it's necessarily always better, cs teams have players in EU to get better practice & play in more events

Except t2 because of how little they played between ascension & this past March.

Is that actually something's account? Shouldn't he be verified?

This reminds me of a map TH had against EG I think it was. Keloqz went nuclear first half on defense and barely got a kill on attack iirc

Bros bringing 2023 t3xture when he was delegated to sentinel.

Chill.
