I mean Stew made an actual attempt at going pro in valorant so he's not just some random streamer, he was just dogshit and went back to CS bc he realized he's not built for ts

eggsterr but for sage

counting mfs like grim or tarik is kind of unfair tbh they barely even tried going pro

most famous guy who actually tried going pro but failed in tier 2 is probably an old CS guy like Stewie2k

I'm surprised Paris didn't get it first, they got champs so ig they probably want to spread the love more but France clearly loves their esports. W for spanish val tho hopefully TH or Giants make it

doesn't have to be aspas, just any player with potential to be top 1 in the world, so that's ppl like chronicle etc. IMO it's like 3

mibr 39-0s FUR unfortunately

be a fan of a real team like Bolton Wanderers next time

I couldn't think of a less enjoyable experience than playing viper on ranked ngl, I feel like you have to run double smokes to make her work bc her wall is just so inflexible for attack

just use it to clear corners and backsite, postplant delay darts are kind of overrated

throw that shit just backwall every time lol you can get by on sova by just not being stupid

kickoff is the only tournament thats like this, split one last year guaranteed 5-6 games for the worst team and split two guaranteed 10 games for the worst team

the ranking is based on an elo ranking system which is incredibly flawed when there is a massive disparity in number of games played like there is in valorant

mfs can't be gay anymore ig

this isn't caring about people with clout at this point, this is just people being incredibly parasocial and making incredibly crazy and wild assumptions about a relationship they were never involved in

I also had a boyfriend in high school so idk what ur talking about a cheerleader for buddy

true, kyedae was actually cheating on tenz with every man shes ever spoken to, its true it was revealed to me in a dream

deadass its embarrassing seeing so many ppl care about internet celebrity drama, it's not that hard to conceive that two people can break up amicably. Its actually not a requirement that someone has to "betray" the other or something in order for a relationship to end, sometimes relationships just run their course.

signing kanpeki should be a death sentence to an org tbh

I think a lot of y'all are being really disingenuous when u act like there isn't a North American cuisine that isn't just fast food. Soul food, tex-mex, cali-mex, southern barbecue, deli culture, are all uniquely American cuisines

and yes, tex-mex, calimex and other southwestern cuisines like it are American, they are vestiges of the former Spanish colonial/Mexican emperial era in the American Southwest where native American, Spaniard, and Mexican cuisines mixed together to make stuff like Santa Maria barbecue which was made by Californios in the Santa Maria Valley, and Fajitas, which was made by Tejanos in West Texas and the Rio Grande Valley

how tf do yall be posting so much man I got just under 3k in 4 years on here

its gotta be kiles from 2021 acend, from all the players in that grand final, him and d3ffo were the only ones not to eventually make a partnership roster

you are looking at the ramblings of a schizo buddy

hot dogs are closer to sandwiches than tacos, tacos require tortillas

stewie2k was beyond washed by the time he switched to valorant, the only reason he switched was bc his CS career was on a massive slide and he thought it was 2020 still and the game was dominated by old CS guys

nobody should get kicked tbh, but if anyone is gonna get kicked the most vocal calls are gonna be for invy fs as sad as that is bc his performances have actually been good, he's just the new guy in a team full of fan favorites so its easy to want to kick him out

I drive a manual in city so getting in my car after a leg day kind of sucks lol

yay propaganda in big 2026, give it up man

for any n number of independent events, the probability of all events occurring can be calculated such that P(a_1...a_n) = P(a_1)xP(a_2)x...xP(a_n) where an event P(a_n) is equal to the individual probability of the nth event.

Simple math was done using the assumption that every match was a 50/50 game
More complex math was done by using the map win rates in order to be more precise

she's fr is that goated she just got fucked by being on that terrible Apeks team

we should have left his ass in 2021 lol he would get fried if he tried to come back

Full Sense and Global are both pretty good teams man

well if you are antistratting specifically to deal with an AWP that's still a good thing for the AWPer, needing to dedicate resources to push a single player off a sightline means less utility available for the postplant and site hit.

Furia and BBL are currently dominating right now with heavy sniper pick rates, I’m pretty sure I saw some stat like Lovers Rock is picking scoped weapons 51% of rounds. AWPing always has been an incredibly broken win condition and probably always will be as long as the AWP has one shot kill potential, you just have to be much more creative with it now that controllers can block more sightlines

lurking when you don't know what you're doing is 99% of the time less impactful than just staying with the pack

I think this map pool just isn't really sentinels favored at the moment, leading to a very deflated sentinel pick rate. Icebox and Ascent were two maps where sentinels were almost must picks (KJ had a 91% pickrate on Icebox in Toronto, the last major event when it was in the map pool, and vyze had a 68% and cypher had a 32% pickrate on Ascent in Champs 2025), and now they're out of the map pool. Compare that to nowadays where Bind and Split are two of the most popular maps and they always have been maps where double controller no sentinel has always been popular. Plus I think that we are going to see a rise in chamber usage bc honestly I don't think everyone has realized yet that one of the best paths to winning is abusing the outlaw and OP right now and chamber is one of the best agents to enable that.

Maps like Haven and Pearl still do show that sentinels are fairly popular, they just aren't as universal as duelists, initiatiors, and controllers are. Locking down sites is a job that controllers can do on certain maps, but on maps where your defenses are stretched very thin like Haven or Lotus where you have to defend 3 sites or maps with massive and complex sites like Icebox having a defensive specialist who can passively control more ground is very important.

TLDR:
I don't think sentinels are doomed, they just have a shit map pool and are inherently situational

possibly losing to MIBR then going down to the middle bracket against a rested and on fire G2 and then possibly into a lower bracket final against NRG with 2 bo5s worth of VODs to antistrat for is absolutely insane

AI use is far too normalized and it should honestly scare people a lot more than it should. The amount of people I personally know who talk to chatgpt like its a real person, or use it in order to do easy tasks like writing a grocery list is absolutely insane. Not to mention the amount of people who use it to cheat on assignments, what's even the point of going to school if you won't even try and learn anything. "Vibecoding" is the worst example of this, the most dogshit CS student you know is running a GPT prompt to do his homework and not learning any of the fundamentals of coding, creating the most bloated dogshit messes of code that are impossible to properly debug because the coder has no idea what anything actually means. The fact that there's engineers out there that are cheating on something as fundamental as Differential Equations of all things should scare everybody

They're probably slightly more favored than C9 but they are gonna be the massive underdog against NRG, they're gonna fry tf out of them with all of the film on 100T. Not even mentioning they still have to play G2/Furia

los tigres del norte

well technically it's against the rules to fight but the penalty is so minor (5 minutes in the penalty box for both players) that nobody actually cares about it. It's basically ingrained in hockey culture for players to fight

whiplash

ni hao

to this day I have no idea why we never ran a roster with seven when we had him

im not even trolling I still think about first strike NA to this day, 100T please bro become good again so i can relive that

i wouldn't be shocked if 75% of vlr was unemployed 15 year olds man

egos in valorant are so crazy lol, top tier professional athletes wouldn't even dare to miss practice but you think you're exempt from practice bc you were the 4th best player on a championship team 3 years ago lol

SEN, I'm a 100T fan so it should be obvious why

I don't really hate any other teams tbh, I at most have a general apathy towards most of the scene

inspired by a nats sage game is kinda crazy bro that mf has a lifetime 0.66 rating on her

imperfect calculation, not every game is a 50/50

chinese people don't play about that shit lol, I kinda get it Lunar New Year is a bit of a stupid term ngl
