No she isn't, you're just bad. You're probably gonna say just play cypher (because you're bad).
I'll give you a tip, even if you're in the elo where people don't know how to break trips -which are always gonna be in the same few spots ever time - you only have to do the following
I've seen people who were hardstuck ascendant (plat with bigger egos) for many acts start abusing the agent like this and hit high immortal. I guarantee some have done it to radiant.
So?
If it was up to me I would just get rid of her entirely. Make a new agent that isn't designed to reward run-n-gunning. No more shitters using her as a crutch in my lobbies sounds like a dream
Exactly !!! An agent designed around run-n-gun has no place in a tac-fps
imo best fix would be making the bar not recharge, that way you have to be intelligent with your movement like a raze or jett, and can't just be running around for half the round
12-3 FK/FD on that map, 23-11 overall
sheeeeesh
When it starts with back to back jett aces... its a banger
I'm ngl i'm sure he's cracked and everything, but when he first started getting linked to fnatic he went live one day so i watched him in the background while i was doing something and every time i switched onto him and watched for a few mins he was getting shit on
Galorys 2-1
Impossible question to answer, but if Loud don't ban Fracture they're already down a map
2/8
You tried admirably but its just too ridiculous to be taken seriously, like good bait.
There are many fragging igls in this day and age (Valyn, Johnqt, Boo, Munchkin, Kingg, etc). He doesn't have that excuse anymore..
Alfa started inting every game
Maybe as the igl and emotional leader he should have done something to set him straight. And if this is a recurring problem (as it was through the season) they should have addressed it as a team before champs.
Hiro a new player came losing the team chem that was had previously
They played the best they have all year with Hiro in the lineup. It wasn't even close, it was night and day. And hiro played very well, especially as a rookie at his first LAN.
The fact that FNC did so well in 24 champs was due to Boaster igling-which took away from his aim
No it wasn't. Its not speculation, we can listen to it. Go to the DRX voice comms video for example and listen to 5:30 -> 6:10. And igl'ing isn't why he's whiffing an entire clip into an ulting sova 5 feet away from him
he was actually the 3rd best player on his team and in 23
💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
winning almost every 1v1
Yeah cuz all they guys he would be 1v1'ing that year were already dinked to 140 by Leo Derke Chron or Alfa. God that is literally the most misleading stat of all time. Imagine thinking boaster is the most clutch player on the world (Even if you just look at Fnatic, Leo was the best clutcher and it wasn't debatable).
Disagree, clear Top (bottom?) 1 is ange1 considering the circumstances, and especially considering they won the previous event
The Contenders (Chronologically):
Xeppaa at Champs 21 : 0.46 R / 1 game (Liquid) / 0-1 Record
Russ at Copenhagen : 0.56 R / 2 games (PRX, FPX) / 0-2 Record
Ange1 at Champs 22 : 0.57 R / 4 games (DRX, LEV, XSET, DRX) / 2-2 Record
Boaster at Champs 24 : 0.55 R / 3 Games (TH, G2, SEN) / 1-2 Record
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My opinion - Worst to Least worst

Read my comment from here

Pancada also streams fairly often
take away his team and look at them individually and every single player there clears him
Universal Reason : Trashcan player with a massive ego "level of play in madrid was low, we'd have won if we made it" "gonna go for all three this year"
Fnatic Fan Reason : Paycheck stealing and holding the team back
Some people reason : Don't like his 'energy' (grown man twerking, kpop dancing, overall cringe, etc)
some of yall need to rewatch this
Tenz, Yay, Demon1, Zekken
Have all at one point not just been the best player in americas but the entire world
As the #1 fnatic hater I really hope they keep boaster on the roster
his last international win, game, and literally most recent showing isn't cherrypicking, those are pretty relevant points in time.
anyways tho
Stage 2 2024- not a top 5 viper regionally
https://www.vlr.gg/event/stats/2094/champions-tour-2024-emea-stage-2?exclude=&min_rounds=0&agent=viper
Stage 1 2024 - 3rd regionally
https://www.vlr.gg/event/stats/1998/champions-tour-2024-emea-stage-1?exclude=&min_rounds=0&agent=viper
2024 Kickoff - 5th regionally (only 3 games tho so take that how you will)
https://www.vlr.gg/event/stats/1925/champions-tour-2024-emea-kickoff?exclude=&min_rounds=0&agent=viper
Champs 2023 - 3rd internationally (but only played 2 games and got grouped, 1st btw is Less )
https://www.vlr.gg/event/stats/1657/valorant-champions-2023?exclude=&min_rounds=0&agent=viper
Masters Tokyo - not a top 5 viper internationally (or even close, only 3 game but still)
https://www.vlr.gg/event/stats/1494/champions-tour-2023-masters-tokyo?exclude=&min_rounds=0&agent=viper
EMEA League 2023 - not a top 5 viper regionally
https://www.vlr.gg/event/stats/1190/champions-tour-2023-emea-league?exclude=&min_rounds=0&agent=viper
Thats the last 2 years
But I'm not cherrypicking or hating on the guy, he just isn't the best viper ever
i could accept that, as long as ur not trying to imply that that makes him the best viper ever (literally the title of the post), because that's not true for the same reason tenz isn't the best jett player
Demon1 had a reputation as Cheater1 in t2.
When dark ratio was at the top of t2 there was a notorious game where he walked down breeze halls every round and sat down whoever peeked him, oxy and geeza included
The last time Nats won an international match - 0.66 on viper, worst rated player on that map and throughout the series
Last time he played an international match - 0.56 on viper, worst rated player on that map
Most recent stage Nats played (EMEA Stage 2 2024) - Not even a top 5 viper regionally
Sure he's on a bad team and he's held back blah blah blah, but he's just objectively not the best viper player ever. The same way tenz isn't the best jett ever. This isn't the jurassic era of val anymore.
you think people just completely give up B these days to the point you can literally just walk up and take rope like this?
Peak Nats's (Gambit Era) lurks would get shut down in a swiftplay today
Its the Jawgemo bucky ace lets be real that shit could be used in a game trailer
i straight up forgot that you could do that lol
you getting owned while trying to abuse a broken game mechanic is the skill issue. I have a silver friend that mains neon and can fry in diamond lobbies
"MW3 Akimbo FMG9 isn't broken i just played with it and went 2-20" 💀💀💀
Now that everybody agrees this is retarded, this is literally applying neon's game design to raze.
I made this post to show how stupid it really is because mf's in this thread (neon run-n-gun crutches) just didn't get it
Was rewatching the EG vs FNC fracture game and this kill by jawgemo gave me an idea : https://youtu.be/rW8Da856WGU?si=CgrrScU47C9uQACJ (around 30:35 in this vid)
How about we buff raze's midair accuracy so that you could do this consistently? Would be a great new dynamic addition to Valorant. I think we should also give raze rechargable satchels, maybe he gets a new one back every 4-6 seconds, so that you could go for these plays a bunch of times during a round. What do you guys think?
He was the goat before alireza was ever relevant
Verno and Jawgemo to NRG for crashies and victor and they're title contenders
(assuming icy maintains his performance from last year) Icy needs to go. Its obvious that firepower, especially at the duelist position is holding them back. You can't have a duelist who's negative every game and expect to win. Qck basically got insta-booted for the same reason. It's not that Icy or Qck are bad, but they aren't enough.
'but he did so good in just his first year, give him time'
There is also almost no chance to develop with the way that franchising is structured. A very short regular season, then its playoffs and ur either in or you're out. Should the season be longer with more games? I think so. But that's not how it is, and you have to make your decisions based off that. As a player, you have to be a finished product and ready to go if you're in franchising. There's also alot of options that could replace Icy's role and be a clear upgrade - Jawgemo, Mada, Derke, even Victor (he looked good on duelist). Does G2 want to risk an entire year to develop Icy? Imo that would be extremely risky with the way that franchising is.
And boaster goes without saying
Needs to be in t1: Zander, Nismo, Mada, Skuba, Hiro, Patitek, Rossy
Needs to Go: Boaster, Xeppaa, Vanity, Icy
Pre-Shanghai - which was a massive choke - this was unironically true. The knock on PRX is 'their playstyle won't work at the highest level', and surprise surprise, when they play against the top teams (FPX, EG), they lose because of their playstyle (shoutout their breeze comp). Losing because you play retarded and that gets exposed at the top level doesn't make that loss a 'choke'.
It wasn't a steamroll, it was a close 2-1 that went to map 3 OT with Boostio basically having the worst game of his career
Edit: nvm, i just rechecked kickoff and forgot they shit on KC at the start, yeah that was a choke
Similarly, what made them favorite vs EDG? If anything the upper bracket team is by default the favorite. Even if you had TH winning that game, its not like it was a huge upset or a shocker that they lost
Honestly i thought Gen.G was the better team the entire time and only choked/got unlucky on icebox (texture legging boo with the awp, munchkin barely missing a flash that would have won the round, etc).They looked like they were in control the entire time even though they lost the map.
Honestly the only map that TH actually looked like the better team was Ascent, Gen.G was straight up not clearing corners.
Anyways, by the same notion, did Gen.G 'choke' vs SEN at madrid? They were in the same spot you described. The answer is no, SEN just showed why they were the best team in the world.
-------------------------------------------------------
tldr version: were TH heavily expected to win vs these teams?
vs KC - No
vs Gen.G - No
vs Fnatic - Yes
vs EDG - No
the # 1 iso player is on my ass i might be cooked
losing to a team that is better than you isn't a choke
The only time they were supposed to win and lost to a team they shouldn't have is the Finals vs Fnatic
Going into each match the thought process was:
vs KC 'Anyone's game, lets find out who the best team in EMEA really is'
vs Gen.G 'Anyone's game (edge to Gen.G if anything- the upper bracket team), lets find out who the best team in the world really is'
vs Fnatic 'Ez for heretics 3-0 or 3-1'
vs EDG 'Who knows, lets find out who the best team in the world really is'
The only choke was to fnatic, every other time the other team was just the better team.
In the 4 finals they lost, only 1 one was a choke.
Choking means not winning or performing in circumstances you're expected and supposed to win.
They were not better than KC at the time, it wasn't a choke.
They were not better than Gen.G at the time, it wasn't a choke.
They actually were better than Fnatic at the time, that was the one choke.
And finally, they were not better than EDG , that wasn't a choke.
The real biggest chokers of the year are 1. NRG (for obvious reasons) and 2. PRX (were favorites to win Shanghai) 3. Gen.G (getting grouped at champs was a big choke, a stain on an otherwise great year).
