The difference is just the manufacturer and how they handle temperature regulation for the most part. The performance should not vary.

LOOOOOOL wait is he actually not being picked up by any team? what teams have slots open even?

No point in going back to GC after you leave it tbh, especially in flor's case

2-0 GE, I think Alexy and enerii are just a step above the other GC players in this tournament regadless if they carry or not, helps a lot when you can shoot back

thank you!

💀💀💀💀

hi

melya or sarah only viable choices if youre gonna be taking people from GC tbh

You do forget that 2nd and 3rd highest rank peak GC players are Sarah and Noia right?

Going "lol GC bad" every thread that GC is involved with does absolutely nothing besides antagonizing yourself for no reason.

If you want to a have realistic GC take(s) without talking poorly about the players and the league:

• GC teams will eventually make it into tier 2, but not with their current form.
• Staying in GC is a lot more favorable than going for VCL and is why most GC players that could do well in it won't leave it to try their hand in mixed teams despite having potential.
• GC is and will always be the most volatile league in terms of skill because of the fact it's a small league.

His replies are just opposite of glazing but they do the same effect of polarizing people further because being moderate when talking about GC seems to be a struggle.

This guy hasn't said a singular positive GC-related thing since I am on this site, you should probably ignore his takes, he gets off on the attention I am guessing

Did not know that, I guess it would make sense. But now this makes me curious as to who they trialed alongside her because I am a little skeptical flor was truly the best player they could get, especially after watching the entire EMEA Ascenscion tournament and GCC, but there 100% has to be a reason she was picked over others so I don't mind the decision.

I wonder how did she have time to trial and also prac for GCC albeit I see her entering GCC with no proper prep and still winning on raw aim

It just an incredibly bold prediction with little to no ground behind it besides some intuition, don't take it too seriously

If you want an explanation behind my thought process, they mentioned potential roleswaps in SR (I could very well be misremembering or outright wrong) and the roleswaps I see is sarah to duelist or Noia to duelist, Alexis is absolutely not roleswapping (she can't frag to save a life but is amazing with utility and setup), meL is gonna stay 100% IGLing. They could cop a good sentinel player, but I am not sure which duelist would ever take flor's spot. I'm thinking about it really hard but NA GC scene suffers from not having a flashy strong duelist (now that flor's gone)

hot take: Noia gets moved to Duelist

incredible post

you got what you wanted LOL

Love the girls but they're about to be bodied in a not so close fashion

I AM SO GLAD I AM WRONG

Noia has been 950ish RR iirc? but ye

Pots and pans ideal duo for this series

What chance? Getting 3rd last year was a miracle, idk how Petra and mimi dragged roxi glance and sarah over the line, they were all 3 underperforming like crazy and it was obvious team chemistry was not good.

That would be mimi and petra, they're FPS veterans, both got like 8 years of playing together by now iirc

It's actually crazy how they managed to make the game against SR close while being down 19 FK over 2 maps

I do think there's a massive difference between undergoing HRT for 4+ years and playing in GC under the non-binary label

I planned on writing a lot more to fully talk about this but I think it's best I just simplify. Full female / GC teams are not tier 2 ready until they get into tier 2 via open qualifiers or Premier. End of story. They are not trying hard enough, they don't play as if their lives depend on it.

"more even stage" is just a massive cope, GC needs to have the bar constantly raised, not evened out. That is not how you create competition.

If you transition the way flor has been doing for the last 4 years, I see no issue with her playing in GC. She has been on HRT for as long as Valorant has been a thing, and actually longer than that. It's ridiculous people still claim she transitioned for the sake of GC, she would need to be some sort of crazy psychic to predict she'd have a career in Valorant.

Does she farm them regardless? Yes, that's not debatable.
Should she go tier 2? Also yes, I think she should try.
Has her team proven they're not tier 2 ready as a unit? Yes.
Should she leave them? Up to her. You can't do much about it.
Will she leave GC? Up to her, she claims her end goal is VCT, so she would need to leave GC and her team behind for that.

Do I think the non-binary label opens up a lot of gray area? 100% yes. But flor isn't non-binary.

I mean, realistically speaking they aren't making it past BBL and Permitta. Fortunately this time they are as strong as they can be so they won't go out 13-0, I am, however, expecting 13-3 13-3 vs BBL and 13-5 13-6 scorelines against PMU. If they don't beat Siko in the LB they are trolling.

I think that was by far their weakest version and there's a reason 3/5 players got booted (Glance and Roxi didn't make it to GCC, sarah went out early), yet people keep ignoring this for some reason.

Okay but that is admitting defeat before shooting a single bullet? Why would you allow yourself to enter the competitive scene with a losers mentality? GC was never since its start cis women only, and if you can't handle that, then why join the bracket? It's like going to a candy shop knowing you hate candy, there's no such thing as being fooled here. You either win or you lose, and if you're better, you win.

The thing is; Riot made changes enabling GC teams to both compete in GC and tbeir regional VCL, the only condition now is for them to win qualifiers. ex. G2 Gozen as Premier #1 seed earlier this year, they fell to NXT Xperion 1-2 in qualifiers

If I faced like 10% of the daily harassment flor gets, I would probably stop showing my face altogether, I don't think it's all that odd, I think it's more just respecting boundaries of someone who's not even 20

I'm kinda curious, what do you mean by "I would feel fooled"?

Hasn't she always been this way I feel like?

amazing, hope you guys move in together and live to see a great ladder climb

oh you're feeding into it, splendid

I think he wants you to be his boywife

That's not being rude, that's being objective

They can beat Siko in the LB but that's about it

Realistically speaking they take off 6 points at best off of BBL in a bo3, if more than that happens, it is probably going to be due to random hero clutches

Only good croatian prospect so far has been Doma but he faded out of relevancy sadly

Then go ahead and beat flor's peak of #3 NA? Shouldn't be an issue for someone as talented as yourself

idk if they play like every other team to set up 1 duelist they atleast make the games closer, if not outright win them

TBF these Iso comps were NOT it by FLCV, idk who on their coaching staff thought "ye we will have less useful utility in coordinated play" and said hell yeah

Closest I got was 100% on GC Pacific but that's not T1 even so doesn't count

Getting 100% on any pickem with above 12 games is incredibly difficult

I watch the games that schedule allows me to, don't like watching vods as much

Conir? Bob?

If you want to watch somewhat okayish level of gameplay u should wait until 4-5 teams are left. Bottom GC teams have not gotten any better tbh

You have to factor in the amount of male vs female CS players and how far they push themselves. All the CS kid prodigies spawn with atleast 10k hrs by age 16, meanwhile most female CS pros have yet to hit that amount at ages 23-24. They need to push themselves harder at an earlier age to get better results, and also look to play outside of fe only teams, but that seems easier said than done, as the only name that comes to mind is GFi, and shes close to 40 by now.

Games are meant to be fun to play and fun to watch without a needless amount of bitterness and hate around it but unfortunately seems like some ppl on here didn't get the memo

What an impressive showing by KRU tbh, conir stocks went up 10x
