How y’all gonna forget Boaster?

I agree. S1mple would look like a noob in Valorant. So happy that CS is the best esport

It’s true. Anyone can beat anyone

SEN was on a hot streak at the perfect time. Now teams have figured them out and they look mediocre. Valorant is just an RNG game lol.

I thought in these “LANS” that they’re just joining a Custom Game and playing on a nearby server. That’s how they’re able to have games with sick players not on stage.

Does anyone know if it’s actually a LAN where everyone has 0 ping like in CSGO?

I’m looking to build a new PC with a 240 hz monitor. Anyone know what specs the VCT PCs have?

In NA probably Brax, who was Valorant’s first signed player

I meant that you can flash and smoke for yourself in CSGO. Clove feels like a one man army

I’ve played on 1024x768 4:3 stretched since beta. Just used to it from CSGO

Omen and Brim are excellent because of their potential for outplays

With Clove, they decided to make a controller with a Reyna heal and a Phoenix like Ult. Then give them a Fade decay ability because why not. Honestly Clove feels like I’m playing CSGO because I have so many abilities. I’m having fun playing Clove but she will definitely need a nerf.

Because they live in Singapore. Most people there are rich.

Jing has better satchels, but Zekken is the better overall player by far.

If we’re talking Raze only, I would still choose Zekken.

Because CS is a timeless game with 20+ years of history. The game play is simple and mature.

Valorant is a cartoon game with a much younger audience. It’s hard to take cartoons seriously tbh.

My Valorant name references xQc, and occasionally I’ll have people trash talk me for watching him.

I have been called the R word or people refer to him as the R word. For some reason the overall mood becomes more hostile towards me, and I don’t think I’m imagining it. Is being a juicer looked down upon? 😂

Naw every highlight is with a Vandal

But I thought he always said he would play anything 😂

Omen would be a good pick as the second smoker. His Kayo ain’t it

Scoreboard wise they owned SEN. Their comp made Zekken and Zellsis useless on Raze and KAYO, two agents that counter Cypher.

Depends on the map selection. If Split is banned, then I can see GenG winning Icebox and Ascent.

SEN is using the 5 Phantom strategy on Sunset, Split and Lotus. Phantom sucks on Icebox so they lost.

But Loud is using 5 Vandals

This is the first time I’ve seen 5 Phantoms

Curry is hot ass. I love him as a streamer but he is not Tier 1 level

I highly doubt that it was JohnQT calling that 😂

It doesn’t matter what he did before if he’s just going to throw the next round

It’s 12-11 and you decide to jump on pipes with an OP?

I don’t like s0m or cryo.

S0m just doesn’t have the “it” factor, and I think Cryo’s time is almost up.

I like N4rrate and Verno a lot though

EU’s top players are playing CS so their Tier 3 players are the Valorant pros. No offense but there is zero chance Boaster would have been a CS pro

Is it just me or were all the highlight plays in PRX vs TH done with a Vandal?

The last match sinatraa watched was SEN vs TH, and there was a sinatraa sign at the post match interview. After this match, he got blocked from watch partying privileges.

Yes but his comms would make his EU teammates self implode

Zekken is like the Aspas of Raze. Not flashy but perfect decision making. I’d take Zekken for his consistency

That EG team had a weak Split because they made Demon1 play Astra. Current SEN would wipe them on Split.

Any map where Demon1 is Jett would be tough for SEN. As good as Zekken is, he’s not a natural Jett. EG would take Jett maps like Haven and maybe Ascent.

Everything else is just conjecture because that EG team were the goats on Fracture.

They already beat the two strongest teams in Heretics and KC, while coming from behind and winning the clutch rounds.

This is SEN’s tournament to win. Geng or EDG will not get a map

Their Split is strong against EU teams

I remember her 😂

He’s a Fortnite playing ranked player that terrorized the ranked lobbies, but he was definitely not Tier 1 level in NA.

Maybe he’s Tier 1 in EU, but this Fortnite player is freelo for the real talent that is Zekken 😎

He’s not throwing he just couldn’t hang in Tier 1 NA, but he is Tier 1 EU

You must be a Vandal only player lmao. You probably complain about Judges too. Learn to play the game

Did you see the photo. It’s not a greeting lmao

It is weird. Maybe it’s an EU thing 😂

While his gf is right next to him lmao

I installed CS Source last night because I missed surfing, and CS2 killed surf.

It was pretty fun to surf again, but I also found another server with fy_iceworld.

It has probably been 15+ years since I’ve played fy_iceworld, and it was the most fun I’ve had in a long time. It was just a breath of fresh air compared to the slow paced gun play in Valorant.

15+ years and I still have loads of fun playing custom maps in CS, but I doubt I will want to play Valorant in 15 years 😂

Why not just get Dapr?

I’m just curious how many games does it take to reach your previous rank after a new Episode rank reset?

Let’s say you’re Radiant with 500 RR. Then you go down to Ascendant 1 at the beginning of the new Episode. About how many games will it take to reach 500 RR again? I know it will depend on win rate too.

Last Act was possibly the most boring Act Ive ever played. From the shit matchmaking to the boring maps, and it’s just rinse and repeat this Act.

Sunset, Lotus, and new Icebox are just zzzzz. I actually liked old Icebox much more.

Breeze is fine now that they reopened Halls.

Bring back Haven and make the game fun again. Hell ill play Fracture and Pearl again.

Btw they definitely changed something with the matchmaking because it has become much looser with the ranks

But EG lost every Split game when Demon1 was on Astra. They started winning Split with Demon1 on Jett. Even Potter said that was the problem.

The only Split game they lost with Demon1 on Jett was against Fnatic 11-13.

Why would they not put Demon1 on Jett?

https://www.vlr.gg/248277/paper-rex-vs-evil-geniuses-valorant-champions-2023-playoffs-gf/?game=137639

Old EG struggled on Split too, but then they put on Demon1 on Jett and let him run around freely with Jawgemo on Raze.

They could have put Demon1 on Jett and Victor on Raze.

Marved on smokes, Crashies Viper, and Ethan on Skye.

TenZ was still the Jett for SEN, and no IGL could have made that work successfully.

Now that Zekken is on Jett and TenZ on smokes, it’s much easier for JohnQT to IGL.

Ain’t no way anyone would have put TenZ on smokes in that new SEN team.

There are currently 7428 Immortals in NA with one day left in the Act. About 200 of these are at 0 RR.

I think this is the first Act where there are not 10K Immortals at the end. It’s pretty clear that either Riot changed the MMR gains, or there are less people playing. I think it’s a mixture of the two.
