Go to twitch and you will see the cringe fans.

If salt merchants discovered the amount of salt deposits in your posts, they would be fucking billionaires by now.

Nth has played VCT since year 1.

GE is playing VCT for the first time.

I mean they are arguably the best after Vision strikers but they still need to respect the other teams instead of Jingg just showing a really disrespectful attitude in-game.

GE was too respectful towards PRX and did not punish their 1head aggro pushes while PRX is too cocky and loses to Nth which should not even come close to them.

LMAO I can't----

Ouch

Nth has a strong mental. Their aim isn't shaking after being 10-2ed (Same scoreline as GE)

GE just gave up on icebox after the first half.

GE has to play dozens of international matches before they can get the same mental as Nth.

Fake flagger.

At this point, people not from India should also start to differentiate the difference between genuine support posts and such troll posts like this.

GMB jacket is pretty cool

^^ Title

I think the PRX jersey is dripping wet.

GGs to PRX.

What an aggro team.

I thought you already shaved your eyebrows?

TSM is truly an global org.

1) GE always competes in pro games on LAN like conditions (about 8ms ping)

2) DWG plays on 40ms ping.

3) DWG got 40ms ping throughout 2nd and 3rd map and the end of the first map. (Confirmed by SkRossi on stream)

SkRossi very clearly said on stream that GE got 75 ms and DWG got 40ms by the end of map 1 and the entire map 2 and 3.

GE 75ms KWG 40 ms throughout the second and third maps. No excuses.

This aged better than fine wine.

Yoo Happy BDay to me again.

Imagine competeting professionally after spending 30 hours per day on vlr.gg.

BTW happy BDay to me.

India has a huuuuuge population who belong to the same race to which the Chinese belong and all of them are respected.

These people who you are calling racist have a problem with China but are respectful towards people from the North East. These same people will also tend to hate Pakistanis as well who are the same race as us. How exactly are you calling this racism?

Probably look into Xenophobia and chauvinism. These are the words you are looking for. Not Racism. Yes, Indians are highly Xenophobic and Chauvinistic like many other Asian countries which include Korea, Japan, China and the South East Asian countries.

Then there are idiots who make fun of people for being Biharis/South Indian/NorthEast Indian and whatnot, but I don't think we are dealing with these people over here.

Once again, numerous coaches and players have done it in CSGO times.

I don't see Shinobi as an exception but still if he decides not to travel, I respect that.

This is just a suggestion guys.

yeah my bad will add it in the edits.

oops my bad. :/

This is not unheard of.

BTW if Shinobi is a full-time coach, he can just travel to India.

Even in CSGO a lot of coaches and players came from NA/EU to work full time. There are just so many examples.

There are rumours even Nitro was in talks to come to India as a pro player but Indian orgs could not afford him. (Just rumours and GodL Haivaan has kinda confirmed it, but I would still not exactly believe this as 100% true.)

Edit: Guys it was Niko not Nitro :/ but still the point holds.

TBH I was honestly surprised that GE took down DWG.

It has to be their teamwork that has improved a lot since VCC finals. They were not overextending as they do. Util was good and trades and communication were also good.

Some hiccups on Ascent but it was DWG's map and they still did not get whitewashed at least.

Shinobi really has fed the guys at GE something. I think he should stay as a full-time coach and maybe explore a new region where he can find a lot of success.

Guys I found this guy.

VCT is Valorant Champions Tour which includes all the masters playoffs, regional games etc and not the finals.

He meant to say "include India in the next VCT circuit points format"

They were planning going to Thailand but never were able to due to Visa issues.

So they shifted from Mumbai to Chennai which is both closer to Hong Kong and Singapore relative to Mumbai.

GE still gets bad ping in Hong Kong (from professional game standards) but really good ping in singapore.

Hong Kong.

GE gets 60-70 ping there and DWG gets 50 on one of the Hong Kong servers.

On the other server its the opposite.

When in history have we ever faced something like racism when Indians are in power?

All the subspecies in the Indian continent bred with each other and formed no distinguishable races.

Now compare that to South Africa for example.

A lot of Indian accounts on vlr are fake flaggers and they make stupid comments just to potray a bad picture of India.

I would say all countries have 90% reasonable people and 10% unreasonable.

If I start pointing out people who just trash on other regions like India and are from NA/EU/KR, the list would be long but they justify themselves by bringing in results. India did not even get chances to prove themselves.

Obviously that does not mean that all people are looking down upon other regions. A lot of guys actually enjoy and support other regions.

ohh and BTW, since the concept of racism does not exist in India, people here do not take racial slurs as seriously as in other places. Not justified still but just so that you know why its happening.

It's from both sides tbh, to people in Korean chat were malding and calling India a poor country and whatnot.

The same with Indians who just hurl racist slurs like molecules of CO2 leaving your mouth during exhalation.

Rotten apples exist on both sides, it's just that India has a large population and it will be more apparent at this point. NA chat is equally toxic in their games.

It's wise to just ignore them instead of reading them or working yourself about it. It's not about countries.

I agree that there are so many problems with Damwon but the same could be said for GE as well -

ping adaptation - we know that Chennai and Korea are going to have ping issues. GE has always played tournaments on 8 ping or LAN like conditions, same for DWG.

internet issues - GE set up a new bootcamp and were getting unstable internet. Quite a lot of tech pauses were taken cause SkRossi and Hellranger were disconnecting again and again.

never having played an official outside korea - GE did not even get an opportunity to do so.

map pool (can only play 3/4 maps) - Honestly, GE has a big advantage. They play nearly all the maps in the pool but this is the fault of the team.

Hope they work on it as much as possible in the tournament and give a good fight in the lower bracket. They played well tbh.

Not GE, GE still crushed them in the maps they won.

They beat VLT once and came close to VLT another time.

Team Exploit is from Pakistan and a pretty good team.

TE GE and VLT seem to be at the same level at least during VCC.

However, TE's IGL storax left the team and went to NA which weakened the team and VLT has taken up DEATHMAKER who is probably as good as SkRossi but did not have a good team and they are killing it. Now that he has a good team he is shining.

Current rankings local rankings in my opinion VLT > GE > TE but all are within 10% of each other still.

Did you say this just because you saw his flag?

He did not mention GE/DWG or even APAC LCQ.

This is an totally independent post.

wait wtf?

I expected DWG to win but GE to give a good fight.

Though everyone from GE stepped up and they won.

Regardless good game to watch.

GGs Damwon also played well!

WTF is this?

Local tournaments in tier 3 regions have better production.

Did they even have any money left after Berlin?

About 6-7 teams have those facilities like bootcamps, PCs, scrimms etc. But yeah after that it detiorates.

smooya who?

LMAO

I am sitting with a guy who works in microsoft.

This is putting too much credit to Paper Rex.

We cannot really say that there is a huuuuge gap between Paper Rex and other teams (We have not seen them play against really good SEA teams so far and they had a recent roster change).

The best team in SEA? Sure.

SS tier? Sure. But I doubt even if a team of the caliber of Gambit was based in SEA, they do not for a gap huge enough to be rated 2-3 tiers above Team Secret or X10.

The rest of the list is more or less ok.

Big Realization.

oh and BTW, a dish that comes to your country comes in a consumable form that will not kill you.

You make it fatty

Imagine upvoting your own comments just to give yourself an illusion that you are winning the arguments KEKW.

Your arguments -

1) "They are gonna get aim diffed so hard lmao".
Did not work out

2) "Choosing breeze against a team that is 2 tiers better than you is dumb af"
13-11 against a team 2 tiers above you, just because they chose breeze.

3) "Paper rex vs SMB V2"

Paper Rex had no chance of winning Breeze.
Anubis was in a significant lead and could have even won the map. 13-11 score regardless.

If you are still insistent on the fact that G2 2-0 Anubis, yeah, no surprises here Sherlock.

11-13 for a new team is good enough.

Paper Rex vs SMB was much worse.

Copium at its best that Anubis bought it so close to G2.

Maybe silvers should not try to analyze pro gameplay and just watch.
