I gave you a derivative and you gave me a trig identity...

d/dx sin(x) = cos(x)

Only watch party that I find decent is Myth for humor and Sean Gares. The latter provides really good analysis and is one of the best casters that NA has.

Envy 2-0

In that sense, I could see where you come from. His phoenix fell off a bit but the agent did as well, only really being viable on one map.

His sova was medicore regardless and yeah as you said, his raze was pretty bad.

You sound like you just started watching valorant.

Drone was known as a top 3 phoenix back when he played and had massive impact with his ult. Heck, during first strike, he was the best player all around.

This thread was going to be created sooner or later....

Yeah they should have gone viper as the second controller. There is no need for a jett here

That’s not the point. Either he plays aggro on t side or he completely switches off jett and they get someone else to play jett so he can awp t side

TSM need a stronger IGL that can midround call. Hazed is not a very good midround caller but he is a decent sentinel.

Wardell needs to stop awping on T Side if he plans on playing Jett because he is essentially wasting that agents ability as a duelist by only awping on t side.

A new sova was necessary since Drone was always a phoenix player at heart and sova wasn't it.

Subroza needs to stop playing “hero” and trying to make ballsy plays. This is what makes him inconsistent.

I can’t really say much about bang since we barely saw him

He was once regarded as the best phoenix, sad to see him be let go like this

Really sucks to see TSM like this considering their former status.

Always felt that hazed’s midround calling was questionable but they kept him. Drones sova was very mediocre which was unfortunate.

how'd you know?

They take out Alexsandar but not Potter?

unlucky really

They didn't remove brax tho. Brax left on his own accord because he didn't agree with Dazed's vision of the team.

TSM is gonna beat 100t, mark my words.

I believe in TSM

Why is cutler still on here?

Tyler1 has the power to break worlds with his screams. The speed of his scream is faster than a planck second and can kill sonic before he even moves. You greatly underestimate the power of Tyler1

I have a feeling that Curry, if he is IGL, will be a very good one at that.

8/8

Instant ramen is pretty decent without the extra stuff such as boiled eggs and veggies but tastes really good with those additions.

It'll definitely add a few megatons of flavor to your ramen.

Majors are/is the largest event in the game for the year. Iceland, while certainly a big tournament, wouldn't be considered a major and more like a very big IEM tournament

I don't think you've watched CS very much if you think Iceland was a major.

Use your slow orbs when enemies push and coordinate with your raze (or any other duelist; raze is just the best one to coordinate with due to her grenade).

Wall entries based off of where your opponents will go for CT side. For T side, there is a set wall to place for Icebox on both sites. For ascent and Split you could wall off entrance to CT or wall the spike (so the opponent has to break through 4 blocks; only applies to ascent).

I severely doubt they'll nuke the roster. Chet said that if they don't make Berlin it was fine. He planned on insuring TSM's victory long term

True, but fatedhate has a fair point as well.

The amount of TSM threads by fans and nonfans alike is kinda funny and annoying

LMAO Raka got what he wanted.

Because agents correlate with playstyle. Some agents are better suited to those who are very aggressive while others are suited to those who play passive, calculated, or even lurk type of plays. When you have agents such as duelists and agents such as controllers on basically opposite ends of the spectrum with regards to play style, it's kind of hard to flex from duelist to controller.

Even within the same agent class, there are pretty notable differences and require hours of playtime in order to make the agent abilities second nature to a player. Agents such as Jett differ a lot from Phoenix despite being in the same class just because Jett is far more aggressive with her playstyle. Adding on to the Jett point, Jett is an agent typically used by AWPers just because she can escape out of any situation if an AWPer misses the shot.

The ranked changes seemed to be pretty bad so far. Hard stuck plat gets placed silver 3?

The smoke can literally create space, avoid sova recon dart, and block off angles. It's the most simple yet one of the most effective abilities in the game.

I'd definitely put Wardell above cNed but this could be bias as well.

Most people were hyping up people from their regions just by extracting highlight clips. Problem with that is, every Tier 1 pro has a highlight worthy moment where they have this incredible ace. Even the worst Tier 1's have that moment so seeing those highlight clips means almost nothing.

I'm not sure about him having a "lack of motivation." Him being rather quiet is just his personality. His agent pool is quite good as well but someone of his talent shouldn't be playing sentinel and playing full support.

Granted, he isn't very good at coms and seems a bit frustrated.

I can definitely get lower but I guess 177 ms isn't half bad

Yeah, new cs players have no clue wtf faceit is so they have to deal with a crap load more cheaters when loading up a match.

nice title bait lmao

Lets goooo, lets hope for TSM's revival

The cloud burst was fully deserved. It was overpowered for clearing site and blocking sova's recon. The updraft wasn't necessary but I can understand why.

I mean, fans are hopeful for TSM's revival considering they were once the best team in NA. Although that was a long time ago, its still possible to reclaim its former glory.

I mean, drone was once considered the best phoenix in the world so I wouldn't necesarily just label him as "needs sova."

Bro, this is getting old. We get it, you like dicey a lot.

Hiko and dicey are overrated.

Tarik was a top NA csgo pro. He was one of 5 NA players to win a CSGO Major (basically the biggest event in CS) which is insane. He's a great streamer, igl, and fragger.

Yes, he would definitely be a top pick for any team due to his history.

Man put Dicey of all people as a better AWPer than Wardell....

Wardell is better than them all at AWPing but Shahzam's IGLing and shot calling makes him invaluable to Sentinels. Penny is great but probably not at the level of Wardell.

T Sided:
Icebox
Breeze
Haven

CT Sided:
Split
Ascent

Balanced:
Bind (slightly more T sided).

1) glitchpop
2) Reaver
3) Prime
4) Elderflame
5) Forsaken

Every team but 100t, Sen, and V1 have made a roster change and we've seen pretty big differences.
