well kinda. Everyone is hyping them up just because a huge part of the valorant community slept on them.

KEKW

damn

ok

meh, people expect a sova to frag when you have skrossi in your team. So this guy has a point.

SkRossi kills half the enemy team by the time you are in post plant. After that lightning fast and skillz are also really good players and they take the rest.

If ever they die, Hellranger and Kappa have some of the highest clutch rates in India. In the entire game, you only have an opportunity to get kills if you are in clutches (And GE rarely looses in India). How will you be at the top of the leaderboard like this?

When it mattered the most in APAC LCQ. Kappa top fragged in maps and played well in general.
In local games, their silver asses just cannot see the value his util provides to SkRossi and friends.

Some irons on this website really like crying about the decision making of the best teams in India as if they know anything about team management.

If there is ever a clutch situation the players I would go for (at least in the Indian scene) would be Kappa and Hellranger.

Kappa is an initiator, I do not see why you expect him to get kills. At the same time, he and hellranger have some of the best clutch plays the entirety of Indian valorant has seen.

I don't understand why you guys cannot see the value he adds to the team with his utility. People complaining about his breach util act as if they are radiant and playing at top levels of gameplay like LCQ.

Yes, someone like Crazyguy or another top Sova from SEA would be good addition but I don't see a better sova in India apart from Rite2Ace. The guy saying smx carried any team has to be kidding me. At the same time, solo is ardent on being a content creator and not a professional player (who plays sova really well). If GE gets a sova from another region, I am all in, replacing Kappa with any other South Asian sova apart from Rite2Ace or HsB (from TE) is just ridiculous. Also, I believe bootcamping in Mumbai has helped GE a lot. I am not sure if a foreign player will like to bootcamp in India. Especially since we already know Shinobi had time zone issues working with GE.

I swear I saw the same comment on Youtube. Is this a copy pasta now?

They just lost to enter lower bracket?

I mean I have not bought one personally.

they are not cheap. pretty much money for brand kinda thing.

You saw the aura in cNeD maybe cause he is from EMEA and heat is from BR.

I know right? it's unfair. I don't understand why an indie game studio wants to make a AAA title. All game studios need to make a good game with a good concept before moving on to such a huge project.

At the same time, I can feel the pressure on the devs because Indian kids cannot play anything apart from AAA titles cause they think graphics is the only thing to be seen in the game. No appreciation for indie games whatsoever.

understandably so, I just hope they can at least make a decent HUD and I don't have to play with NPCs that look like Michelin mascots in the prologue.

From what I saw from the gameplay, yes the graphics are better but,

The physics is still wonky
They haven't even worked out the HUD and even the NPC models.

There is still soooooo much work left that I believe this game is not coming out anytime soon.

Imagine how far the standards of games will have gone by the time this game releases. GTA 5 is already considered a very old game at this point.

I appreciate the work put in considering this is the first such major project but saying that this is comparable to other games coming out at that point is just useless.
Still will complete the game at least once to see what it has to offer.

Also, the environment graphics is the only thing that looks good in the game, that is easy to achieve using prebaked lighting. GTA 5 has dynamic lighting in most places btw. Just look at the character models to see what the graphics truly looks like. The main character in this game looks like plastic and the same is true for NPCs. Using pretty standard shaders from unity/unreal. But sure, whatever works.

meh

A GTA 5 level game in 2021 is not impressive.
Can do better.

Edit: Please get a good VA for the trailers.

Here is the attention you want

SEN twitter is the dumbest account I have seen for a team that is actually decent.

he is a PRX stan and everyone knows it at this point.

PRX is a great team and I respect that but that does not mean their fans go around making foolish comments.

1 head take.

You know what 100 ping vs 10 ping looks like

Exceeli kinda decent though. Enigma had a tough time against them.

Most probably a SEA team like X10 or Team Secret if they went up against the big names. They were looking good when they qualified but definitely not looking so hot right now.

You do you.

I have not watched Yu Gi Oh a lot. Too many eps and it was not streamed on Indian TV (at least on any channel I remember). It did have a decent plot though in the few arcs I watched.

Digimon was kinda meh from the start. Always seemed like a Pokemon clone.

Pokemon kinda doable.

Digimon and Yugioh cater very specifically to a younger audience. I just cannot watch it as an adult. Heck even a 15 year old me cannot watch them.

Unlike other anime shows like Naruto/Code Geass which can be watched by anyone above 12 years of age.

Anybody above the age of 14 probably does not care for these two shows anymore.

Imagine Shadow getting upvotes and you getting downvoted.

if that happens, it is a sign that you have a trash take and maybe keep your opinion to yourself instead of talking further.

I guess never.

CSGO allowed custom servers for LAN games and other intents. FaceIT made an entire business out of it and has now taken over the CSGO matchmaking system.

Rito has definitely learned to keep a lot of its components closed to keep business viable. Sucks for the players but whatever.

Your name disgusts me.

play on Bahrain. Ask someone in Europe to create your account, or use a VPN.

I get 50-60 ping on Bahrain.

I tried searching for this on Youtube again and went over some posts, but all that pops up is his "huh" and memes he did in Berlin.

I can confirm he said this and other people could back it up.

https://old.reddit.com/r/ValorantCompetitive/comments/ph9zsq/prx_benkai_we_do_scrim_japanese_teams_and_they/

Someone made a post and it got auto-moderated.

I did find the other clip where he says Japanese teams are not as good as SEA teams (look at his tone, he is trying to be modest here)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBD4EVP4SnE&list=PLyThyOxW8WIR1JmKuoZCI5AUoUs6WqiEa

watch from 19:20.

As for the "We knife japanese in scrims clip" I cannot find it anymore.

yeah I agree, no excuses. GE played really bad that day.

But making fun of GE for one bad game is not a big brain idea either.

Also, your statement "Didn’t we all already agree that almost all the teams had around the same ping?".

I am not sure how to respond to this, GE vs Damwon was 75ms ping vs 80 ms ping in the first map. During the second and third map GE played in a ping disadvantage of 80ms while Damwon played on 40ms ping.

During the PRX game, PRX was on 5ms ping while GE was on 40ms. Add to the fact that this 40ms was not a stable ping and it was fluctuating due to the hurricane.

These are numbers shared by actual players from the teams. They played the tournament, not me, not you.

I do agree with you that the ping gap is not very huge (A lot of pros still disagree to this and consider 40ms difference to be a huge factor but whatever) but it is a disadvantage regardless.

All I can hope is Rito organizes better tournaments next time.

Yeah, I remember seeing his name in some Japan games and he used to have 100 ping in those. Used to wonder why.

fair enough.

Feels bad to Ratio a fellow countryman but Ratio.

(Imagine upfragging your own post and downvoting the other guy)

tweet

This guy made it to the top 10 NA leaderboard with 150 ping and is from Russia.

I believe he also plays professionally in Japan???

One of the top reply says - "Many places in India are strictly vegan, i.e no alcohol for you mate"

1) Hardly anyone in India is vegan. Though the majority is vegetarian. There is a huuuuuuge difference between Veganism and Vegetarianism.

2) Vegans can drink alcohol.

3) Except for some states, feel free to drink as much alcohol you like.

Cannot believe how much misinformation is spread on twitter like holy shit.

same

That too after your IGL says "Japan bad and we knife them in scrimms".

No disrespect to PRX (they are a great team) and no excuses but GE really had a bad day and PRX had a good game and you forgot that Riot is such an idiot for not hosting a LAN for the largest continent in the world but held it for 2 countries in NA LCQ.

Also you cannot forget that GE there was a hurricane in Chennai that day and PRX lost a round where 3 members of GE disconnected. That just shows how bad the connection from GE side was. When there were no storms or problems, they did well.

osu! >>>> everything else.

Waifus over meta.

The same translates to pro play, unfortunately.

In pugs, this is exactly the playstyle you should go for, my account in EU server is ranked higher (despite higher ping and less time given) than on Asia. However when you do this in professional matches, everything goes bad.

Just look at how many Asian teams rely on a "star duelist".

PRX has Forsaken (now Jingg)
X10 has Patiphan (or at least used to have)
GE has SkRossi
and the list goes on, of course, the other players are not trash they just don't get the limelight. PRX d4vai is also their star player but you could associate it with the fact that he is also a duelist main but plays other roles in pro play. GE lightningfast also has insane mechanics and is a very young player developing his skills and used to play a duelist in the early days of valorant and now shifted to a sentinel/controller.

while in NA/EU every player has a shining moment, take SEN for example where sick, dapr, tenz, shahzam, zombs, pretty much everyone is a star player. "TenZ" joining SEN was not there to carry them, but just a final piece of the puzzle.

Anyhow, yeah wtf, what is up with high ranked EU/NA people not being able to go beyond gold in Asia. I am pretty sure I met a person from EU immortal who could not go beyond plat 1 when he was in Asia.

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, I ........ I just can't stop laughing.
