It makes sense because his new gf is Korean

The most fun I've had playing Val was playing Brimstone or Omen, because these were controllers that relied on game sense. Once Clove took over Ranked, the game became very stale and the game play was more "run-it-down" focused.

Now that Clove is here to stay, I don't think Brimstone will ever become a viable controller again. It's too bad, because playing Brim was the most fun I've ever had playing Val. It made Val more fun than CS to me.

and that's if they buff Brimstone so that he's playable. Now that was when Val was fun!

Until then I will enjoy playing CS2 thank you very much.

Riot's mistake was making a cartoon game that's targeted towards children. You have a playerbase full of children that are very immature.

I am a fully grown adult. Why would I play a children's game and interact with children?

In fact, anyone over 21 would probably be put on a list for playing this cartoon game.

Haha I'll enjoy my time in CS2 with other adults thank you very much.

Eggsterr and Poppin weren't good enough aimers

Val is a cartoon game that's targeted towards children, who happen to be the majority of the playerbase. Why would I, a fully grown adult, play a children's game?

In fact, anyone over 21 would probably be put on a list if they play this cartoon game.

Haha, I would rather play CS2 and play an 18+ game thank you very much.

Now divide by three because of all the alt accounts

What was your peak elo in CS2? I play CS2 now and it's much more fun for me.

I was thinking of playing again but then I started physically cringing at the thought

You could be convicted of serious crimes and still be able to play Valorant in jail if you had the means. Riot is not the police 😂

Riot hardware banned Cane because of TOS breach, bad things he said in their game. Correct me if I'm wrong, but even if he wasn't on Envy, he still would've been hardware banned.

Just checked and his official reason for being banned was: "Repeated disruptive player behavior and breaking the Terms of Service."

Yeah it was the whole dick and balls out on his head

Any music you listen to, or movies and shows you watch. Most likely a pdf created it

100% sure you consume media created by a pdf

I think it was a joke

I was watching SicK’s stream and he mentioned that when he was at a team bootcamp, ShahZam and Sean Gares got in a heated argument and they went chest to chest. Sean dared ShahZ to hit him but he didn’t. Good thing because Sean Gares was huge back then.

He also said that when he was on Team Rogue that they were all in an elevator. Their manager bent down to tie his shoe and then a player named “cadian” put his balls on the manager’s head. No one in the elevator did anything or ever discussed this event afterwards.

You tell people to shush in the library?

Lol Riot conveniently gets the Chinese viewership numbers. Where is the source?

"my name is Vladimir. i keep distans from distracktions and focus on what is important. i do not explane choises i do not question path i already take. disciplene is not somthing I say it is somthing I do every single day.

i play conter strik very serius. no talk only play. rush B somtimes somtimes hold angle. Headshot or death same result we continue.

Life is simple. No emotion only mission. No excuses only execution."

Lol just make it into a Chinese game then

CS announced their Major last year so I think Riot made sure their Masters was on the same day

Because I don’t think it’s a coincidence that both the CS Major and the Val Masters were on the same day. Someone wanted a comparison!

Nice try Leo Faria 😂

Adding new agents and abilities just makes balancing that much harder.

If they never added new agents and Jett and Raze were still OP, then the game would be much different

I thought I was on HLTV so I thought this thread was satire 😂

My cat does it so I meow back

you can also gamba

I got bored of Valulrant and switched to CS2, and I have been practicing my movement. If there's any lvl 10 or FPL players here, please rate my movement:

Val will be lucky if the game is not dead in 5 years 😂

Valorant has better anti cheat, but what else is better related to the gameplay?

I stopped playing Valorant in January and started playing CS2.

I switched to CS because the gunplay was better and good mechanics were rewarded more.

Val has noob friendlier gunplay, but it was also marketed to be more tactical. I’m not familiar with the meta now, so what makes Valorant tactical and is it more tactical than CS2?

You want to watch shock dart lineups and tejo missiles that win the round?

Lol T0nz was not good enough for Tier 1 CS

Dark mode only good for watching videos like Twitch

Dark mode on web pages is too hard to read everything

Because America likes their COD and Halo. America likes console gaming more than PC gaming.

As far as EMEA, CS rules Europe.

Holy, I have not played Val since last year and DMs would always pop in under 20 seconds

CS is easier to start playing. Val too many agents and abilities to learn

It’s a new game on a new engine. CS2 struggled a lot until recent updates that made the game more similar to CSGO

Could we see sub 100K viewership in the next year?

The game used to be fun around the Chamber meta, but then with all the meta changes and new agents, it just became tiresome to keep up. I play CS2 now and the pros stay relevant.

I just got a black screen when I refreshed VLR. Only the monitor that had VLR on. Is this website related?

I was an Imm 3 Yoru main before I transitioned into a CS2 player earlier this year. I am top 1% NA which is equivalent to Immortal. If there's any good CS players here, pls give me some feedback.

VCT is like a lottery where you hope that the meta will fit your team

CS is teams trying to dethrone the Avengers (Vitality)

Lol the mechanical gap in CS is just too big. In Val I never struggled against any pro

You'd have to compare FaceIT Challenger, the top 1000 players to Radiant. I am much closer to Radiant than I will ever be to FaceIT Challenger.

FaceIT Challenger is top 1000, and these players are better than Radiants

double satcheling uses more key inputs, but it's also easier because you can bind a mouse button to satchel

I played against Stewie, Moe, Valens, and Leith in Premier and I wasn't able to do anything against them. In Val I've played against pros and it was not nearly as difficult.

Window to cat jump on Mirage is harder than anything movement related in Val. I'd bet that only 50% of lvl 10s can do this jump consistently.
