He could also be played on abyss since the orbs are very atk sided. Pretty much any map with atk sided orbs means that he could see play tbh.

It’s kind of where your strengths lie. Biology is more if you know it, you know it, while physics is more application based. Also, biology is you take this general concept (like photosynthesis) and expand on it. Physics is you have this formula that is built on this other formula which is built on this other concept (basically, you HAVE to know and solidify your fundamentals, but if they’re strong, it isn’t that much more difficult that biology). You also have to consider what you can do with either (and remember you have ~2 years after high school to figure it out). Personally, I loved bio (which is why I’m going to be majoring in it next fall), but I also took physics and it wasn’t too bad.

Edit: Forgot to mention, physics is A LOT of math (especially calculus). Biology still has math obviously, but definitely a lot less and also a lot less advanced.

Yeah same here. I think it might be because I’m into history and (for some reason) liking history is correlated to watching alt right content (???) since that’s ho me the algorithm works

To be fair, icy's ranked stats were never phenomenal. He just played a lot in order to get 1000 rr. People say flor is good based on her ranked stats, not her placement.

She is probably just testing the waters. Obviously there are pros to vyse; there are pros to every agent. I could make the argument that there are pros to running Phoenix every map, but it doesn't mean it's a good idea. I doubt she is genuinely considering using her EVERY map... right?

posted 2 weeks ago

I agree too, but lowkey I think he's trolling. No one in their right mind would say "nerf kayo" with a straight face. I think he is satirizing all the people screaming to nerf neon using pick rate as evidence (essentially, if you're going to complain about her, don't use pick rate to say she's broken because there are plenty of other agents with similar pick rates, yet no one complains that they are broken).

edit: I'm looking closer, and he's definitely satirizing the people calling to nerf neon. Clearly, he's mocking them by repeating what they say: "Neon is picked so much by off season teams, so she must be broken!" and showing evidence that neon is not the most picked agent by a long shot AND that there are agents that are picked more.

Yeah, like, eg’s comps were pure troll. There’s no way they genuinely go vyse every map

yesican after dropping 30 while igling, wondering where his team went

posted 3 weeks ago

He can play cypher, brimstone, and killjoy, which is more than enough for a sentinel main tbh. His viper is kinda eh, but it shouldn't be too hard to teach him. Idk why t1 tried him on omen, considering that it is vastly different from what he is used to.

posted 3 weeks ago

Honestly, I think that xccurrate could fall onto that list as well. He is a super cracked sentinel main that was legit carrying his team at the beginning of the season, but they changed his role, and he just didn't adapt, leading to stinkers at the end of his season.

posted 3 weeks ago

I tried the invisible trip and it legit got counterstrat by people prefiring the trip within 3 rounds of using it. (They went the opposite site for 2 of them)

imo, yoman > lakia. At least from when I watched him during his ascension run, he looked amazing while igling (lowkey running a 2v5 the entire time lmao), and I can't wait to see him off of igl. Although, I think it's not like >>>, it is really close.

However, I do have to agree that foxy9 is probably a downgrade since meteor was just him. Meteor was arguably the #1 sentinel main in all of APAC, so it was only down from there tbh.

edit: I forgot to say what type of -grade I think this is. I think this is a slight downgrade. Losing the #1 Korean sentinel main has gotta hurt after all. However, I think this was the best they were going to do, considering Lakia and Meteor chose to leave

posted 3 weeks ago

DRX have suffered from role issues for 2 years in a row now. Last year, it was a problem because foxy9 and flashback both play sentinels, and now it is because flashback and freeing play sentinel. Also, Athan and hyunmin both play duelist. Last year, they quite literally had the same problem ._. I called it that DRX would suffering immensely due to this too.

posted 3 weeks ago

if they bring back k1ng, they better replace foxy9 and not yoman. Foxy9 is good, but istg if they make him play initiator, a role he is shit on one more time I will tweak so hard.

posted 4 weeks ago

Also, people are acting like GENG dropped meteor. He just didn't want to resign. Like, his contract ran out and it was well within his right to choose a different team.

posted 4 weeks ago

foxy9 fried on sentinel. He often looked like the best player on the team at times on it. Also, DRX put him on so many different roles. He swapped roles multiple times and when he finally got comfortable on a role, they swapped him off of it.

The thing is that Vyse has mid util all around, while Skye has a very good kit. Vyse has pretty much only her flash, while Skye has two flashes + dog + a heal. Vyse's wall is crap, the other thing is ???, and ult is mediocre at best. Skye has the best flash in the game, a free space maker that can be traded out, and a excellent piece of util for pistols. The Skye ult is ridiculously good as well.

posted 4 weeks ago

They have texture, so stew is highly unlikely. I think it is more likely to be foxy9 and maybe eko/some other highly skilled initiator

Freeing solo carried his team in Chinese ascension to gf and hyunmin was dropping nukes in T2 Japanese valorant. However, I do agree that putting them in second is ambitious. They're almost certainly going to suffer from role issues again.

Doesn’t need to igl if there’s just 5 of the same person. They already know what the other is thinking. They’d just manifest the strat they want to do in their head, no call necessary.

tw: yap alert
yeah, but forsaken is a chronic over heater on movement duelists, even more than jinggg. I think, at most, put him on yoru since he can't overheat as much (and if he does, he has more util that will help immediately at that moment). With what you had there, I would run:

Ascent Idea: First, forsaken has a good kayo and yoru. M80 showed that yoru on ascent is viable and very much playable; however, the lack of movement duelist can be concerning. Additionally, operator is broken, so an opping agent is somewhat necessary in my opinion.
forsaken - yoru/kayo
jinggg - jett
something - fade/sova
davai - kj
mindfreak - omen

Haven: Info senti is absolutely necessary on 3 site maps, but viper is also very good, or at least it was. I think teams are still unsure about viper haven, but I have some faith still.
Jinggg - neon
forsaken - kj/cypher
something - fade/sova
davai - viper
mindfreak - omen/astra

No changes to the bind comp, and my one change would be switch forsaken's and something's role on pearl. Something else to note is that this would essentially make davai a full time senti/viper instead of whatever he was playing this year. Roles are a lot more defined and would make it so that they won't have whiplash from one map to another from the 120941728947 role switch. However, I am somewhat of a chamber believer atm, so I wouldn't be shocked if chamber gets implemented into their comps, probably for forsaken to play. PRX is allergic to true sentinels anyway and chamber does cover what he needs to cover tbh

posted 1 month ago

imo, I think forsaken should stay off duelist imo because his value on other agents is so high imo. Lowkey, they could just run jinggg full time duelist and have forsaken be their senti main. (CHAMBER TIME) Then, they have something go jett on the maps where they wanna run double duelist (kinda like what ascension bleed ran with juicy and deryeon). Jinggg has a good enough jett to play on solo jett maps tbh

He was trialing for EG, maybe they reached an agreement?

edit: He's going against sym and icy in the duelist department, so he must've fried if he got signed. Yay is probably settling for a sentinel role

tbf frost told them to troll vs PRX and DRX, and he proceeded to get team diffed vs lev (WHO DECIDED BAN SHOULD PLAY DUELIST). They just got fked against Vit. For context:
Against Vit, his team averaged 0.71 kd, while he got a 1.16 kd across both maps
Against lev, it gets even worse with his team averaging 0.82 kd while he got a 1.48 kd. On ascent, his team averaged 0.58 kd, while he got 1.69 kd ON SAGE.
Against DRX on abyss, THREE people on his team went TRIPLE negative.

Talk about unwinnable im ngl.

easy solution is to let freeing go to GENG instead of DRX. DRX suffered from role issues this year, surely they don't do it again

They’re still a regional threat, and alecks is no longer getting no-teamed as a coach so it’s looking up.

There’s also the fact that being the ‘best’ means being seen as a threat. This leads to getting antistrat a LOT more. Furthermore, because you keep making deep runs, there is a lot more footage of your playbook.

Sorry, my sense of time is fked. Besides, he mentioned that he was studying Japanese 1 year ago, not that he started studying it a year ago, so it would make logical sense that he had been studying before that point in time. Additionally, he paid for a tutor, so I would hope that he didn't just throw the money in the bin.

posted 1 month ago

tbf this is my personal preference and my ideal world, so I know it isn't going to happen :(. I think leviathan could be good seeing how he was frying on duelist when he played those like 4 games which means he has good aim, but his flexibility is probably a coinflip and imo DRX really need flexibility. Also, signing freeing is lowkey troll because they already have flashback. They're replacing foxy9 (a sentinel player) with freeing (a sentinel player).

I meant during the 2023 season for Dep. I still vividly remember his ace against FNC on KJ, so I have faith in him. Additionally, while the grammar is similar, the vocabulary + the particles are immensely different, so it still takes a while to learn Japanese anyway. Additionally, aspas has been learning Japanese for like 2 years now. Even if it is harder for him to learn Japanese compared to the Koreans in the scene, he still has a lot of experience in the language. Frankly, if he's been learning for 2 years and he COULDN'T com, I think he might as well give up.

posted 1 month ago

I meant to have a /, as in DRX picks up one of them. Shoulda made it more clear mb

posted 1 month ago

Dep showed that his sentinel was pretty good last last season, so he can play that while aspas plays duelist. Aspas is learning Japanese, so I assume that he speaks it at a proficient enough level to comm, especially since he probably is on the level of a lot of the Koreans in the JP scene anyway.
