DO NOT ask me about deadlock

well this guy stated he's been stuck for a year, so telling him to play the worst role to rank up with is bad advice imo.

Obviously if he just 'trained his skills' it would be beneficial and help him get out, but that's not really different from just saying 'get better'.

don't listen to him, see #22 for why. Here's your best options

If you're truly better than High Plat / Low DIA, especially mechanically : Lock Iso or Clove

If you're not : take the time to get good at Yoru -> ez high asc/low immortal

this is the worst advice ever initiator is the worst role for ranking up, especially in low elo (there is nothing to setup because people run around like headless chickens, if they even comm what they're doing)

glad you like it, just make sure to not fall in the trap of playing aim trainers more than the game itself lol.

Comparison time!

Aspas today:

2-0 Win / 1.37 Rating / +12

Notes: Off-day, missing alot of awp shots
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chronicle today:

0-2 Loss / 0.86 Rating / -3

Notes: Got hard gapped by Riens on identical agents

L of the day: FNC on Lotus

Really good player but he is literally throwing rn

Hurt his back deadlifting fnatic to shanghai

Imagine falling for the Sentinelmain and laedlaer propoganda.

No real person ever thought that for a second

Announcing NRG Leo

ik i just think its hilarious he misses the prowler and the next kill but hits that one LMAO

C0m has already flanked behind them as you typed this

What's funny about it is that he whiffed on the prowler before, then whiffed the next shot after that too. Bro's bullets are just attracted to derke head or something lol

throwing that advantage?????

1 off-day on the awp > 3 years of being one of the most feared awpers in the game

Least Braindead Sentinelmain take

how's it been going so far?

sounds like a standard immortal lobby

We'll dial in more next time trust. Expecting a masterclass

I think that DRX has what it takes to beat every single team at the tourney, no exceptions.

That lower bracket in trouble 😈😈😈

I still believe

womp womp

Sacy more clutch we know it you can't change it

Ok, here's two more clutches, from two different finals Sacy was in during 2022 (two is more than Shao has ever been to)

https://youtu.be/CknXNQ3jZTE?si=xNQ4cFsOcbzkMpIT

https://youtu.be/qFnx4ChT_uk?si=6IHB_BHfTJQ0o8fk

In conclusion, Clutch-wise Sacy > >>>> Shao in 2022 AND entire career!

Sacy in 2022 on the biggest stage: https://youtu.be/ogyI2mW9FaE?si=icH-ma3g9r6Lg93h

Someone didn't do homework

The Most Clutch Player in Valorant History.

There is no debate.

If you think there is a debate, you didn't do your homework.

"Leo and Alfajer, if anyone can do it they can do it", "Yeah but Less is still alive"

Less one-bursts both of them

Really just says it all....

I watched alfa get gapped by less every time they played each other.

I also saw Less carry a trophy that was like, really big. Not one of those worthless ones that breaks on airplanes.

trying to misdirect, this isn't about loud vs fnatic, its about Less vs Alfajer

Less senti gapped him 3-0. He is better. He can also call himself a champion, alfajer cannot (because of less).

Also, nobody ever suggested for one second that benjyfishy was better than Less, alfa however...

Less cleared Alfa 3-0 (BIG senti gap every time)

Champs trophy >>>> 🐁 + Tokyo where both champs finalists had visa issues for their star players

Also beating FPX >>> anything Fnatic did in 2024 (also didn't get embarrassed by FUT)

Cloud - Init
Demon1 - Jett/Smokes Flex
N4rrate - Raze/Init flex
S0m - Controller
FNS - Senti/Viper flex/ IGL

Less clears alfa

All ranked = low elo

All the good players are in swiftplay and this is fact.

you could replace sayf with basically any other player and the title would still be true lmao

if DRX wins Mako will be the undisputed controller GOAT.

it has something to do with this, but i'm not sure of the specifics

Warning: Long Read

I'm assuming you're at least in one of the ascendant-ish divisions. If you're below, don't worry about strats or vods, just focus getting comfortable playing with your friends and you'll probably win. Premier is kinda a joke unless you're in the invite division or something. I've won premier before (Elite 4) and played in small community cups (even won one), and the difference is night and day. Premier is pretty much a glorified ranked 5 stack. People act like its something special where people are defaulting and pulling out set strats, its not. Here's some basic tips.

#1. Learn to be tradeable whenever you can. This is by far the hardest thing for people to get the hang of, but if your team is good at it you will annihilate 99% of teams out there. G2 is probably the best team in the world at this right now.

#2. Choose a normal, meta or close to meta comp and get comfortable on your agents. For example, its ok to switch out a kayo for something else on ascent if nobody has ever played him, or play clove instead of omen if you're comfortable on her, but you better be playing a Sova. You don't need to go crazy with lineups either - and this is coming from a huge lineup nerd.

#3. Have a basic understanding of how maps are played, and how you want to play them. For example, the golden rule on defense bind : never full rotate until the bomb is planted

#4. Don't overcook with crazy set strats and util combos. You aren't DRX. If you're going to, keep them simple with as little 'moving parts' as possible. Maybe a set trap play or two for eco rounds or bonuses, or a set showers default for offense on bind, simple stuff like that. Don't overcomplicate it.

#5. Most people suck at dealing with a good oper, especially if you set him/her up well. Abuse that, even on offense if you can. Shotguns are also funny

Now that you've absorbed all that, its not hard to find vods. Just search 'valorant premier' on youtube and you'll find thousands. Here's the first one I found. https://www.youtube.com/live/FO-DR4r2I7U?si=0rG7xdqej-HwPWf9 (Notice how they're playing a harbor raze fade yoru bullshit on ascent and get smoked by a meta comp)
I'm sure you could find thousands of twitch vods too.

bruh that shit is for diamonds who wanna feel like they're pros

what division are you in?

G2 Forsaken (duelist/flex) would feed entire nations

Mb, I forgot gambit has the honorary Team Liquid award for regional success 😂😂😂

Demon1 has had achieved more than Gambit/M3C

Gambit
1 Masters win
2nd Place at Champs
never made another LAN

Demon1
2nd place at Masters
1 Champs win
never made another LAN

FNC is by far the worst team in playoffs, the only team they can beat is Lev on an off-day.

TH beats the KRU survivors

Need someone to free my goat Cloud

Need a tissue?

too late, C0m already put him on a leash, shot his body and sent him packing 🥶🥶🥶

Put the Vit flair back on coward

Liquid talking from the sidelines 😂😂😂

KRU turn up every year to make champs then become allergic to winning once they're at champs. It's the funniest thing ever
