no I totally understand that. I was just refuting any idea that labels them as "growing" players. They want to win immediately, and nadeshot is willing to drop the money for that.

"they are just not willing to invest that extra time"

that basically means they don't believe in homegrown quota which is fine for a competitive org.

Damn....get well soon

Huynh is a p cool name to foreigners ngl

I mean, do I really trust you or people on TL that cited that Wardell was going to be the pick? Also, pretty sure Wardell said he didn't want to invest in CS because of the "uncertainty" it held in comparison to valorant. CSGO has its diminishing returns, meanwhile conquering a new game and becoming the best at (with smaller competition at the start) held better chances.

Yes, Valorant is a new game that has an unsecure future but it was a gamble worth taking, especially when it has the financial backing from riot games. Would you rather take a 50/50 chance at becoming the best player in a new game or a much lower than 50/50 chance trying to compete in T1 CS where being the "best" or even dominating the scene was really rocky? There's a big difference between being a T1 player and being able to dominate the scene; I'm pretty sure Wardell wanted to dominate the competitive atmosphere and valorant held the conditions better suited for that.

He was gonna go to a t1 team like TL right before Valorant happened so....Plus he performed well against t1 teams and just needed the backing of a t1 team to actually start winning big titles.

Merry Christmas🎅

Going to be completely honest, I'm a similar situation to you. Around 5'8, 17, and one of the shortest in my friend group, it's really frustrating to not be as tall as others especially when people (although jokingly) compare heights all the time. From those with more life experience than me though, the one conclusion always stated is that appearance only matters for first impressions and afterwards, its all about personality.

Keep your head up, you'll probably still grow until you've hit like 21 so you should be fine. Even then, a person who's 5'6 and big, looks taller than someone who's taller but has a smaller build typically (this is something you can definitely work on whenever you want in your life).

wrong time for a joke

what...?

I mean it was just for clarification....he's a really chill dude lmao

I mean, they did have sinatraa at one point.

Anyone who says Sentinels with TenZ is better than Sentinels with Sinatraa is just flat out wrong. Not to take away anything from the current team but Sentinels prior was flexible and looked extremely comfortable with switching roles. While Sentinels did lose to Envy with Sinatraa right before the switch, that game was one of the biggest trolls (iirc, Sinatraa ran judge like 3-5 rounds in a row).

True. But it's been feeling like an initiator meta so far

then back that up to 3 months. Chamber might be like Kay/o where it takes a while before teams integrate it (if at all).

I really doubt we'll see chamber in actual pro play for another two months.

I really want to see Seoldam on the big stages.

The korean jett might be a big meme because of him, but this guy's skill is no joke.

lucky really

or unlucky really

tsm literally beat GenG within their last 2 encounters

Except cNed didn't diff Yay at all in their game. Yay had more FK and kills on cNed. Envy lost as a team, not because cned destroyed.

Happy birthday! I'd only get the skins that you "need", in the sense that you don't currently own a phantom, knife, or vandal skin.

Doesn't aguero play val as well?

I got the recon phantom but it isn't what I wanted ripp. If the night market had the RGX vandal, I would soo cop it

Honestly, all regions are so close to each other (aside from SA and JP) that its really hard to call who is better.

hence "rumors"

yeah but there needs to be more tournaments in between. Otherwise if a t1 team loses, they have to wait 2 months before they can play again.

Not gonna lie, every region is so close to each other now that it probably isn't accurate at all to use a region tier list.

It's funny how fast SEA, LATAM, and Brazil developed.

Excuse is the wrong word by me. As you said, it was definitely a factor. Whether or not that changed the outcome is debatable, but it is very likely they performed far worse than they could have.

I mean, it is extremely demotivating though regardless. While it isn't the greatest excuse, it is an understandable perspective.

no although it was a bit childish but absolutely not tf? Trash talk like this has always been a thing bruh and people acting like its the first time they've seen anyone shit talk another region. It's childish but nothing worth punishing

he said "against a brazil team"

Imagine G2 did that with Furia like shit.....Carlos wouldn't even know what to say....

man included donald trump and joe biden together wtf lmaoooo, that's almost as bad as having brazilians working together with people from na at the moment

where?

vlr.gg will be shut down temporarily + zombs might start getting out his fists

bdaman crossfire? yooo I loved playing with those things as a kid

aite, wardell is now gonna sub in for Sentinels and then win valorant champions for them no capppppp

you forgot the batchest batchest

Oh my bad......

Also cause the google translate blew that out of proportion....sorry

awww shit rip george geddes

oh shit u right LMAO

請問他是誰?

I love this dude. Him, boaster, and Vanity, are the only one's that understand what's going on lmao

Read his prior tweets. He started the fire bruh with the whole "ta querendo pica... e nao ta sabendo pedir" and then started acting like he has the moral capacity to judge everything

Cause it's a well established thing that NA is just shit, EU is mid, and Asia is just reigning supreme.

Irrelevant but true at the time.....

Bro....what kinda fkin bait take is this? You're just mad rn bruh.....

Bro Sentinels at 9? Meanwhile Liquid, who won BARELY, is at number 1? Dude TL got destroyed on Bind and who knows what would have happened in a bo5. Split was close and could have easily flipped to Sentinels.

While I do disagree with Riot's decision making here, the argument for VK not watching those games is irrelevant. Riot has to maintain their precedent of punishing teams for using that particular camera since....it's a precedent.

I disagree with how they handled it overall but that's how it is.

Open space and angles***

Haven A site and B site is too narrow and doesn't hold enough angles to maximize her utility.
Raze is perfect on split because mid is extremely open with many angles and same thing applies with B site

ngl, they are surprising me a lot. Doing so well against VS is nothing to scoff at. Maybe they aren't EU's worst team this tourney.

I disagree with that for Raze since Raze's utility requires open space. Raze's utility isn't really effective on A or B site.
