yeah i saw the "much better" comment, tried to figure out how "[wardell] operator on point, rifling slightly worse" equated to "[cNed] much better"

i don't know if i've ever seen wardell smoke+dash onto a site in pro play lmao. def seeing it more in ranked, though.

fair enough, i didn't see him do it often in NA competition, but i guess it's a useful tool to pull out in international competition.

is there an accuracy tracker for operators? that excludes spam shots, like spamming a smoke or wall? you've got a fair point, but i don't see how you can use that metric to compare cNed and Wardell.

lol i know a guy who memorized the spot on each map in the loading screen to instalock jett. sticker would have been much easier.

i don't see yay awp often, definitely an insane rifler.
same with tenz, but his awp is the fastest i've ever seen so maybe.

become an instalock jett.

i main controller agents because nobody likes playing smokes. it gets old, but then nobody plays smokes if i pick jett lol.

How do you guys compare operator players? Reaction time, flick speed/accuracy, repositioning/movement? If so, how do you practically measure that and compare? It's difficult to compare cNed and Wardell, in my opinion, since they use a one-shot body kill weapon.

cNed is clearly better with a rifle, at least by my eye test. Operator skill is more difficult to judge. Shit, sometimes I see rifling Jetts pick up operators for a few rounds (ex: yay, also Screwface from T2 NA) and look faster.

totally fair, it’s literally labeled “Competitive” in the menu.

all four attacking lanes can be held by CTs with OPs. very easy to play defense on ascent. not a huge fan either.

my parents let me spend 2 hours on any type of electronic a day until i moved out, and i wasn’t allowed to get even a laptop until college. hiko is only one white person lmao. white parents always be like “what, video games, read a book instead, study engineering/business/medicine.”

you didn’t assume from the IGN… nevermind.

haha i love zombs

avova is fucking nasty jesus christ

zombs best controller NA!!!!

na is undefeated none of us have to cope xd

ggs to f0rsaken and PRX, win this next one and then beat Acend

top

just finished, idk that felt fast

yeah lemme go test that

that sounds rough, but it least it’s equally as rough for each team competing. fair enough until they figure out a good system.

so if SEN win, do 100T and NV automatically qualify for Champions without LCQ? what happens if 100T wins, or NV? have they all qualified at this point

PRX 2-1 SMB (huge fan of f0rsaken after watching him)
VK 2-1 KRU (like heat, dislike woman abuser ntk)
SEN 2-0 G2

Envy, Yay
SEN, TenZ
or
100T, Ethan

here’s a new idea: watch some KennyS since you’re switching from CS, too. obviously not a pro, but still great with a Valorant operator.

other than that, wardell and cned are the best streamers to watch, as mentioned above. shahzam plays jett+op regularly on stream, too.

im a huge fan of heat from VK, seems like a really good player. but honestly no favorites in this matchup other than that.

common supernova W

“cned >>>>> tenz”
cned today - fat L
tenz today - carry W

does tsm still make it to LCQ if 100T or Envy win Berlin?

icebox is jett+op playground, love watching pros play that map

envy the only NA team not to drop a map yet

SEN
100T
NV
VS

NA <3 KR, too. Go win out, friend.

no troll, if EU quits now because they can’t win then the game will die.

jesus, how quickly opinions can change. used to get shouted down for even suggesting wardell is better than cned.

both teams should ultimately qualify, one will just have to beat SMB

idk ask their coach

no its def alabama. and the mountains of tennessee.

split and ascent CT sided, Bind is a complete tossup based on my experience

it’s actually ridiculous how every bit of shit talk against NA comes back to bite ppl in the ass when NA somehow manages to win these games. this can’t keep happening, but it’s hilarious as fuck for now.

still surprising that 100T beat Gambit and made my fav EMEA player nats look like an average NA pro sentinel/viper main.

i have six inches of fat encasing my entire body from eating 7 McDonalds Big Macs a day. wouldn’t feel a thing

you should put it in your pocket instead, safer there. or a bank.

gambit was supposed to win this. i had no faith in 100t and somehow they pull off the comeback. NA undefeated so far.

i would laugh if some scrawny esports fanboy tried to beat me up over video game trash talk lmao. you think you have a chance against this fat NA fanboy?

sen should win,100t should be much closer because gambit and nats are insane

ggs for real, VK really impressed me. same with f0rsaken on Paper Rex earlier, too.

“innocent until proven guilty dumbasses, someone else could have made those bruises!”

waiting for that shit to start for this situation too :(

wise words of sentinels sick i think

you mean the guy who just top fragged?

yes
