Train and prepare for shit people doing shit things. Train NOT talking about the past rounds, past mistakes. Train NOT responding and MUTING as soon as you feel dragged towards the emotional mud. Get a stress ball next to you, mute your mic and scream on top of your lungs; anything but flame. Visualize a round as it would probably play out in ranked, NOT as a drill where everything goes right: try to imagine playing 4v5 with no smokes 20 seconds in.
Sleep, hydrate, train. People already provide really good tips on these.

Winning is a privilege, not a right.

Good intentions, but only like 1% of the Chinese player base is on VLR bruh.

Never Say Never
I mean people thought China would never catch up before EDG showed up.
EU and NA in League is not comparable because they have never really came close to the glory that China has already achieved in like a quarter of the time. The hard constraint of the player base numbers (China and Korea dwarfs every other region combined) is not a problem with Valorant. Are you sure you want to to hold up to your assessment when Valorant esports is not even a decade in?

Honestly I am huffing that Hopium but goddamn that was beautiful Valorant in that lower bracket run so I do expect SOMETHING out of my favorite European team.

First off Fnatic and Liquid can't both qualify now. I agree overall with your trend of rating good regional teams without international experience lower.

"That's what I said but I didn't develope" so you didn't say it LMAO. Bruh is hallucinating himself typing. So you shifted your goal post, you think you aren't arguing "superstars make him look bad and bad players make him look good" just cause you started changing (""developing"") your argument.

Sure, we can dissect this further but that's not "what you said". You said "superstars make him look bad and bad players make him look good". Jawgemo is insane because he has this role but still insane (what doe that even mean). Plus, they were making a specific criticism about PRX and not about playing with superstars overall.

No? This argument is about a system fitting him more, has nothing to do with the quality of his teammates? This is about criticizing PRX's system because not every team with superstars put their initiator through hell?

Why would any one choose anything off of hype?

Spiderman pointing

How can there be no need? There are specific ranges for the Bandit and different situations with the gun damages at ranges? From a game design perspective you should always give the players more options, not less. My argument is not exclusively based on need, but a lack of attention to detail.

Half a decade later, still no option to toggle the bot armor to light armor.

I can't eat boiled eggs, specifically the egg whites. Can't stomach egg plants either.

You're not biased, T1 does have 5/6 Masters winners so they are a super team. It's just hard to have the buzz VIT does cause they are Korean.

Well, you could argue that he never had the individual peaks and stand out performances to justify him being the GOAT. Yes, I do think he's the greatest winner of all time (its doubtful how much Astralis would have won without him) but not in contention for GOAT as he was never the best individual player.

Law of diminishing returns, your skill improvement most likely can't catch up to your gear upgrades. Yes you will be better but not as dramatic.

RAHHHHHHHH IM BLUSHINGGGGG
Thanks man

I think that people tend to evaluate solo-carry jobs more which Aspas has definitely did more with less (no pun intended). I don't think Aspas is a tier above Derke at all.

If you talk about all versions of CS, then you have to consider (though I doubt anyone would put them in contention0 NEO, F0rest, GTR, HeatoN, Potti Markeloff and the like. A few source players like RPK or Happy. I could make the argument that succeeding across different versions of CS makes you more of a GOAT of the entire Franchise of games. So that would elevate NEO, GTR, Zeus and F0rest. Zywoo would benefit as well whilst Donk, Simple and Device suffer.

I wonder how much it will make of my limited data
could you plug me in?

I am not certain how much I like the changes yet, but I am inclined to agree with you on this.

HOLY BASED

You know what, yes he's overrated if you think he's the goat. But you shouldn't rate him based on this season, he's a top player because he's been a great and influential player since the early days. As to his teammates, I do believe that people skills and the ability to find the right circumstances for yourself is part of your resume. However, I think to say that "if you are the goat you can perform with any team" is completely asinine. This is a tac fps and one player can only do so much.

Protocol, RES, Recon

With research and memory, TSM, Faze, Optic are all involved in Crypto and especially TSM who paid dearly for it.

Now thinking about it, this is also a detection for smurfs. False positives, I think its the fact that they should monitor and investigate those with those stats.

I was thinking to myself why Riot (if they indeed don't) track player's stats as an indicator of cheating. If they could monitor any KD over 1.3 and any headshot over 40% over, let's say 10 games. Would it not stop many blatant cheaters? I don't mean this as a complete solution as if you are walling its easy to win crucial rounds without putting up ridiculous stats.

Now I really want to see who tried to debate you on this

Come back here when you find that song, we await your return!

Honestly ISO might be a trap rn, so is Clove. Play omen more and play him better, he is too consistent to not pick up. Ditch Astra if you won because you got normal teammates, if you were the goat stick with her. For someone who plays this much Jett you aren't OPing nearly enough. Best not be a duo with two duelists (the reasons are too many and too obvious). If I had to guess I have to say you aren't contributing on initiator is because you aren't familiar enough with them to command your team so practice that aspect (breach on sunset is quite easy).

I think the mandatory military service is bad for Jinggg and bad for Singapore (personal opinion) but saying there is no corruption because its the 5th least corrupt country is like saying there is no crime in the 5th safest country. There is no poverty in the 5th wealthiest country. I want to believe that Jinggg won his career back fair and square but still.

G8 B8 M8

Bro on that Luis Diaz arc, I hope they come back to safe man.

You know what, that's the best way to summarize it. On scoring ability easy top five, on overall merit not that high.

I think what could help is watching players VODS that are better than you but not ELITE (nothing above Diamond) and get a grasp on their strength and weaknesses, especially their team fights.

In terms of skill and aesthetics its arguable. The important thing is if you hold his super teams against him especially if you are one of those morons that cries about "LeGM". I don't hold it against KD but he only won with great players around him, I just don't think he has the rings and to match his ability.

Admirable sentiment, but YNWA

I can only attest to three points, penalty shootout is so slow yet scintillating, you cannot look away from it. From a realistic perspective, injuries and fixture congestion is on the rise in the sport so Penalty shootout is actually preferable to playing more football on top of the ever increasing extra time. Lebron is NOT boring to watch but you are entitled to that and yeah its probably him.

GOAT hfmi0dzjc9z7

Wtf is your question? "America" doesn't mean jack shit, are you trying to correct him or something? He clearly wrote and meant "Americas" as in both regions. The reason why he brought up the league is cause riot brought them into franchising and the best team from the league is crumbling financially which, if you didn't know, IS BAD FOR THE LEAGUE.

Where do you think the Americas league play then? On the fucking ISS? Who play in the Americas league? People from the Americas or Martians?

You call them Shitmea, they counter with how much trophies under their belt, how is that not relevant or unfair. Its clear that there are good duelists besides him in EMEA anyways.

I mean Chess is a thousand year game that even saw changes and evolution of tactics in the 20th Century. Basketball is also new comparatively and had changes to its "meta" as recent as 2014-15 with the GSW. Football is ANCIENT by modern sport standards and Tiki-taka wasn't in play until perfected by Pep Guardiola based on Cruyff's vision, Jurgen Klopp was also able to innovate on a classic German style. You are only looking at the surface of these sports and saying they are never changing, they are, and the changes are entertaining as well as necessary.

How can this not be a bait?

Bro I can't with the name

Almost certain its a joke cause he was interviewed by Travis Gafford and wanted to do a Doublelift.

I think if you see the game they are playing their HEART out.

1. They actually never added in accuracy penalty for no scoping and quick scoping, before the reduction in bullets the only nerf was to movement speed scoped in which really fucked over KennyS, I don't think it would be as broken as you are sniping against jett/raze/breach/skye.
2. You are right, but there HAS to be someway to stop duelist instalocks. Maybe make it role based, say you play duelist twice or more and its locked until you fill.
   Alternatively, you could make filling more rewarding by just having you lose less rr and win more (slightly, 2-4).
3. This is a choice, you can CHOOSE to play with them or not, its like an open queue if you want to or just close it and play regularly.
4. The Phantom still has a lot going for it, the speed, the silencer, the magazine capacity... I just find it EXTREMELY annoying that its not as accurate though I never feel like my bullet is missing but I have seen clips. For a gun that supposedly prioritize accuracy its somehow less accurate than the "spam" gun, it just doesn't make any sense at all.

I really appreciate actually going over every point though.
