Fox is a better one. Either him or SGA.

NEW GOAT ON THE BLOCK

Nah, we'll just blame something else.

ok

It's somehow EVERYTHING ELSE, ALWAYS. Tenz doing bad? Shahzam. Or Dephh. Or sickness. Doing great in his absence? Kaplan diff! Tenz fans would have us believe reality manages to constantly bend around Tenz's underperformances. And if you suggest he's the problem? Somehow you're an asshole instead of it being merely sport discussion.

Good take. I can't believe how loosely the Valorant community defines "hate" for the players they care about. Can't even knock some players performances without them acting like you kicked their dog in the ribs

Same as its been. If NA is out then I'll root for the underdogs from Pacific.

I just find it hilarious how moralized they made basic sports discourse just pertaining to tenz. Coming from traditional sports this feels like some wacky social experiment and we're just the lemmings being observed upon.

I can't believe dephh would do this...

Nah, I agree with her. Shitposting too close to the sun, leave his family out of it. At least with Dephh's wife it's fair play since she goes wild.

He also gets the most praise when he does well. That's just the nature of being popular and regarded as the best in sports. Heavy is the head that wears the crown.

I feel like "in-form Tenz" exists more as a theoretical concept than anything in reality. It's like the concept of a healthy Zion Williamson. Shit doesn't exist.

What an insane carry.

Never is his fault

Hate both. Hope both lose.

He's still in jail bro

It's on his left hand so he should be fine. He just has to tilt his keyboard so he doesn't have to bend his index finger.

I just remember a couple of post-tournament exit interviews where he'd throw an underhanded comment at the other team or made excuses for losing. I wish I remembered clearer but when he was coaching NRG in particular the community and some pros justifiably shit on him for an interview.

I don't think people here know how much people hated Chet in cs lmao

He's watermelon brain after the major

Haven't seen nearly enough of him yet to draw conclusions

The VCT cybercringe theme is awful. Big cs events definitely know how to make it feel like a grand sporting competition.

Exactly. A ton of responsibility is on her to put a stop to it if it made her this uncomfortable, or amicably set her boundaries as explicit as possible. And I wish that message would be made clearer since this is a skill girls need in less ideal, real-world scenarios. Can't speak too much on George's autistic flirting, too lazy to read.

I ain't reading all that shit but it just seems like an extremely emotionally immature chick who's too meek to set boundaries and instead just timidly plays into escalating expectations as more messages pass by. Trying to frame the age gap as anything is fucking retarded and suggesting a manipulative power dynamic with this dopey ass scoop journalist is also stupid.

s-stop calling it the cs bundle g-guys...

lol that's great

Valve should try to further promote HLTV

Probably never going to happen with all the wild shit you'd find in the main pages forum sidebar

Less opportunity for lower tier players to prove themselves and break into the big league security though, with roster locks and infrequent cutthroat open qual gauntlets to run through.

CS by far. Way more big international tournaments makes for way more narratives and rivalries to build. Can't wait for months of nothing in the offseason again!

See, the fact that you would conflate that statement with being a "cheap shot on tenz" just shows you're in the feelings too much. That has nothing to do with Tenz himself.

no one is fanboying him at the level you are crying about.

Sure, buddy. No one.

classic strawman argument

Don't use terms you don't understand.

The difference is that yay doesn't have fans that parasocially obsess over him like he's a shonen anime protag

New scapegoat for everyone to blame.

Tarik and Chet apparently fell out during EG stint, and Chet left tarik out of his regards to the team in the farewell twitlonger after getting kicked out and bluntly implied he was a shitty teammate snake or something. Tarik gently acknowledged his accusations on his stream a while ago, saying that his reputation among teammates speaks for itself and kinda just dropped it.

I think any finger pointing to coaches is stupid unless you actually know the inner workings of the team and where responsibilities lie. Even with conventional sports where the coaches have a far more transparent line of responsibilities like the nba with ato plays, schemes and rotations, the fans are still too braindead to actually determine what makes a good and bad coach. Tac fps coaches responsibilities and their capacity to be overruled by the players are a lot murkier and vary team-to-team.

Too plain imo. But I just fucking hate this era of logo minimalism.

Japan only just recently got into PC gaming. And Apex was basically their first big PC fps they culturally got into. I actually think they're doing surprisingly well considering how late they are to the scene.

Whoa, turns out removing the entire social context of insults just end up being reduced to a mishmash of weird mouth sounds. Imagine being offended about anything ever LMAO

That's the Brazilian influencer way, they don't really know what the burden of responsibility with their platform is. The best one was in CS when Gaules routinely encouraged hate on tarik and stewie in mibr which broke that roster, leading to complete international irrelevancy for the next decade. Jokes on them kkkkkk.

The valorant community is the most reactionary esports community I've ever seen tbh.

Eating clean year round isn't too hard, I just feel like people don't recognize awesome healthy options for sweets. Two Good keto yogurt is amazing, and I used to eat a ton of natural peanut butter with a side of chocolate milk. That and Intermittent fasting makes it fairly low maintenance

I just can't believe I saw dephh mindcontrol tenz mid game and make him lose like 40 aim duels, craziest shit I've ever seen in my life. On stage no less.

True, the eye test might actually read worse than the stats

Surely we aren't blaming dephh for tenz getting fucking rolled by fns

What the fuck is lil bro doin out there

Adesanya. Surely he doesn't lose 4 times in a row Clueless

Gimmicky, lame personality and a ranked terrorist to anyone who is stuck with him on their team

No, his psycho ex-gf is suing him and claiming they were common law married which would entitle her to some of his wealth

Agree with headphones but I'd say big brand gaming kb's are pretty shitty for their price range; very plasticky and thin stock keycaps. Compare that to a similarly priced filco with a sturdy heavy metal backplate and decent stock keycaps is like night and day to me.
