understandable

Colours from Code Geass.

Attack on Titan has 5 openings and a new one is coming soon. Which one do you mean?

Never did. Do some research.

Only 1 map was played on Mumbai, which they won easily. The rest was played on Singapore which were very close games.

X10 looked shaky without pati.

With pati they are easily top 3 NA.

#PatiSupremacy

When GE/VLT played on good ping they beat SEA teams that can be considered as top 5-6 in a dominating fashion. (LVR and Bleed esports, former UwU).

1) Anything can happend in Champs
2) When GE/VLT played on good ping they beat SEA teams that can be considered as top 5-6 in a dominating fashion.
3) They have 0 international experience. Give them some time to learn, they will do much better.

Source: Just trust me bro

Nobody has LAN in their regions. Infact, regions like SEA are much larger than Brazil and have to play with ping disadvantage a lot of times because of different countries involved.

Think about that for a second.

Asia?

The forsaken scene was limited to India.

Also Forsaken is not the only pro player to be caught. There have been dozens (from turkey/NA and other regions) who have been caught cheating.

It's just the 1) Forsaken's incident was very memable.
2) Indians kinda made it a huge deal cause Optic was one of the big orgs investing in India and forsaken blew the oppurtunity.

All nighters :)

X10 vs Envy was close regardless.

It should not have been even a 13-5 IMO.

X10 looking really weak even in their region while envy just came back from Berlin going into the finals and beating some of the best teams in the world.

no seriously tho. Don't bully brazil so much.

The turret literally has more kills than players at the moment. KEKW

Try getting into IIT CSE.

lol

PS: Though I agree a lot of Indians/people internationally as well think getting into Harvard is easier than an IIT. That is actually not true. Getting into Harvard specifically is tougher than an IIT. However, if you apply to all Ivy League and don't have a problem with which one you join, it is generally easier than an IIT.

The probability that a single ivy league will reject you is very high but when you apply to a lot of universities chances increase significantly.

tbh everything used for daily life is also much cheaper when you compare to US dollars.

On the other side PC components cost even higher (about double the price) for what you can buy it in the US.

The average is not a good metric comparing India cause there are at least 300 million households that make much more than 2K USD a year (enough to afford basic infra) and that is about equal to the population of the US which is the 3rd largest country by population.

Career choices and how people see esports is still the larger picture.

Boaster is just a better leader than anyone on team liquid.

Vanity's post plant really annoyed the fuck out of TL.

Boaster is just making a joke out of his lineups.

1 sage wall KEKW

Plant some grass in your house (if you own one). This will occupy you for a good 20 days and away from sharing opinions online.

Then fucking touch it.

How come everyone who is accused of being a silver is suddenly an immortal on any online forum?

nt

Get Ratioed LOOOOL

Maybe stop spamming with meaningless threads to maintain a net positive upfrag ratio.

When your maths is weaker than an average high school kid, you really don't care about real discussions.

Did I anywhere say that?

I am talking about their util.

comparing "riot" to "valorant"?

Do you mean valve?

Dude if you think this is how vectors work, got back to high school.

Comparing major to a middle of the year tournament KEKW that too for an esport which is not even 1 year old.

Man they enter a site, every angle is covered/smoked/flashed and what not.

Flash timings are just perfect.

Why are they so good? Feeling bad for anyone who goes up against them ngl.

Juicy was actually really banned earlier.

Was unbanned cause Rito decided that it was a false claim.

Main ID se ao Shadow.

They set the mode to play all rounds.

So you play 18-0 regardless if a team has reached 13 rounds.

true. Paper Rex almost had the W.

You are basing your observations on the 2% of the bad apples that exist in each country and each region.

I could name many users from SEA that are like this.

If people still don't realize that there are a small minority of toxic people on every side, you, my friend are the most immature here.

LVR picked icebox btw.

Not as much. There is a difference between a dominating win and a hard fought victory.

well, I personally always play on either 60 ms ping on Mumbai, 90ms on Singapore, or 80ms on bahrain.

TBH its playable but not at any level above diamond. Above that you really need sub 40ms ping to be at your full.

DM won gunfights.

This does not happen when they play on Singapore.

IN every match with an Indian team and Singapore team, Indian teams lost bullshit gunfights despite being pretty crisp in local tourneys. Despite util being better than the other teams.

XO is not even decent at this point. Individual players are good but the team is not.

Kinda true though. GE also easily cruized past LVR on Mumbai servers despite playing an intense Bo5 earlier in the day and being pretty tired.
But that was also before Juicy came into LVR. Still I don't think Juicy is that much better than DM or SkRossi on same ping.

pretty short from my standards ngl

This was played on Mumbai servers instead of singapore.

So we had the first-ever game with an Indian team going up against SEA teams on the Mumbai server.

VLT vs Bleed, VLT and GE both are looking shaky right now. Despite this VLT secured a dominating win (13-3) over bleed. Should I mention that VLT was playing without their IGL cause he is taking rest for RSI.

The rest of the two maps will be played on the Singapore server, so honestly, it could go either way. The thing I was surprised to see was players like DM and the rest of the squad were actually hitting their shots which was non-existent earlier. India basically lost most of the gunfights despite decent util.

Its still one game and I would like to wait a bit more before arriving at proper conclusions but this should actually be taken seriously by riot when they plan VCT 2022. Even a ping difference of 40ms is huge when it comes to pro play. Instead we, unfortunately, got to see SA playing at 70 ping in Mumbai vs 5-10 ping in Singapore and for TE it was even worse at 100+ms ping.

PS - Kinda sad that Bleed (Ex UwU) lost tho. Maybe they lost the name buff.

Edit: Just look at the thrifties from VLT. That shows how much better VLT was, tactically speaking.

take it like you would.

NGL Guardian + Hellf is a huge W and LF's mechanics with the phantom just defies the Valorant physics engine.

Choke is when you don't perform as well as you are supposed to.

Thanks for telling me something that I did want to know and did not know.

I am actually cool with SEN. I watch Shahzam's videos and TenZ's once in a while.

Though I would still say this reflects the general opinion people have on SEN. Shahzam is considered cocky by many and people really hate on Dapr and zombs (mostly cause of personality).

Its a copy pasta now.

skillz has a higher ACS than SkRossi.

Should GE make him the main duelist and make SkRossi play Killjoy?

I agree that Kappa is the weakest link, but in a group of 5, there will always be one weakest.

I think people here are really overreacting to just how weak Kappa really is. He is perfectly fine for tournaments in India. Even in the SEA landscape, he is decent.

During LCQ, GE was easily in top 5 Korean teams and top 5 SEA teams at the time (Sleepy, the coach of Alter Ego mentions that GE are equal if not better than the old Alter Ego from his experience of scrimming and analyzing the games just before LCQ). They beat Damwon and just nearly beat F4Q if not for a 1v3 clutch by FiveK. GE already was the best team in South Asia. You absolutely cannot do that without a player who is exceptionally bad at the game.

If you want to replace Kappa, you need to find a player that would

1) Be more skilled than Kappa (TBH there are 2-3 players like this out there)
2) Be available and not locked into teams (TE HsB and VLT R2A)
3) Provide more value to the team than Kappa, (Kappa has decades of experience, helps with mental which players like Lightningfast, SkRossi and skillz practically do not have).
4) The team wins more games than with Kappa.

With Kappa gone, you just have a bunch of young adults with raging hormones who will shout at each others in the game.
Even if you get a foreign player, conditions 1 and 2 might be satisfied (maybe also 3) but communication will take a huge hit.

There are just too many problems to resolve. Can they not trust GE management (who has to make money btw) to make the best team they can instead of passing judgements.

Putting forward a recommendation is appreciated and shows your concern towards a team you follow, but at this point, it's just harassment.

PS: Hyeoni and Kaminari are also at the bottom of the list. Do you really think NUTURN should have not played with Hyeoni? Also, Kaminari is probably one of the best supports in Japan.

I think a lot has to do with the team players.

NGL Shahzam has that cocky south asian gene. He was on the top of the world after winning a tournament with teams that came to iceland after upsets. (NUTURN was not as good as VS, V1 not as good as other NA teams, TL could honestly have beat SEN but V1 was just so annoying to play against).

Masters 3 was where the real good teams came in, Gambit, Acend, VS, the real good teams from EU and Asia came in to play. (except SEA) and they saw their place. Not only did they drop maps, but they also were not even top 4.

Dapr and zombs also have really hatable personalities. It puts off many people, especially from Asian cultures/snowflakes in other regions. Sick is neutral tbh. TenZ is the only innocent soul stuck among these guys which seems like they would cover a grandma's home with toilet paper if they were teens in your neighbourhood.
