this whole game is about luck a lot of the time, the luckier team with momentum wins,are we just now realizing that is game is pretty random at the highest level

and just a couple days ago people were saying drx are title contenders but now beating them in a close game is bad apparently

2022 "mid duelist" just tells me u didnt even watch the game back then,he was literally solo carrying fnc

i think tl will just collapse they dont have enough experience or confidence against the top teams

lmao this site is so funny,yesterday it was china and apac

bro they do not look good

u guys are really over estimating sylvan,hes basically the same level as carpe thats why they did this move in the first place cause he was the weak link but sadly carpe isnt looking any better

and he put tl in d tier before the season hes literally the most unbiased watch partier there is

at the end of the day whos winning in life,do u think when ur old that ur gonna regret that u didnt put a unhealthy amount of stress and excess work on urself just to achieve some hollow material goal thats not even gonna keep u truly satisfied for long lol

wdym i never had black bars even with true stretched

go "device manager" on windows, open the "monitors" tab and right click the PnP monitor thing and disable it then just put valorant aspect ratio on fill and change ur windows res
that worked for me

bro the black bars come from ur aspect ratio u can change that lol

and turkey valorant powerhouse cant even qualify trough emea ascension and ur best team is fut lol

"we"

im sure u "love" liquid bro

NA is such a shit timezone they only have good times for eu most of the time

only casuals say that,every analyst rn agrees pacific teams dont look that strong apart from drx

they are not lol they had like 2 matches where they made it interesting but now they are getting absolutely pounded by some dogshit tier teams

he has some of the best first bullet accuracy in cs,u dont need much but good ch placement and first bullet accuracy to be considered top tier mechanically in this game,he would 100% be a top player if he started playing in 2020

he would be insane if he switched to val,his aiming style is literally perfect for valorant

thats literally what i said lol,but fns word to word said "our goals didnt align in the game" so im just speculating,just watch this interwiew and say do u actually believe this guy is a hard worker or really takes the game serious lol,like he has to be trolling in some of these parts but its def not 100% trolling https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVBKq_wV3as

well literally everything from how he acts and his personality points that he probably had some work ethic issues,they said their "goals didnt align" wtf could that mean expect that verno probably had a ego in some aspects and it was fucking up the team vibe

ok this is getting embarassing for u now

wait i thought u weren't coming back because u have to go to notifications go to the original post scroll down through over 100 messages until u can press expand thread then scroll down to find this and u just dont care enough,dam u made ur self look stupid again,no arguments against me expect "ur wrong" and u cant even stay true to this "i dont care cause im right" cope cause deep down u know u arent loll

lmaooo now ur suddenly back tracking bro i literally said u can check how cs vs val related content performs in bilibili for example and see for urself that im right instead ur still coping and back tracking and now ur trying to play the "i dont care" angle cause u dont wanna admit u are wrong,i guess this is a a way to cope have a nice day

glad u came to ur senses,i hope u went and looked at the numbers instead of still thinking ur right and trying to play it off thinking im just chatting random shit

im literally only saying facts there are no ifs,valorant as a esport is not more popular than counter strike,i went and looked at the numbers as i said and it showed me that,u can do that too the Chinese platforms are completely free to see,idc if ur unable to logically see the clear fact based take im making,chinese people have massive interest for cs and it can be seen in the exact numbers that arent bigger for valorant when a singular popular chinese team isnt playing its a very logical "if" to assume the interest for cs would be just as high if they had a competitive national scene and a team like edg who they can actually be excited about

val is not "way bigger" in china,atleast not the esport lol,the fact ur saying its way bigger is more speculation than me saying it isnt,its legit only edg who carries the esport wiewership,other valorant content not related to edg is not more popular than cs content in platforms like bilibili etc,thats why im saying china would not care more about valorant at all if they didnt have a team like edg who are a big org and also title contending team,cs doesnt have that in china

i mean its a fact that cs would be just as popular in china if they were good at the game,cause i actually do watch what chinese people think about esports and shit on their own platforms out of curiosity and the cs related content seems just as popular but the chinese teams performing well is obviously more interesting to ur average chinese wiewer,but simply the passion for the game and interest is not more on valorant lol

whats shit about it?

no my point is that china wouldnt care more about valorant as a game if chinese teams werent performing,the fact cs esports is so popular in china even tho they are only fans of mostly eu teams and theres basically no chinese representation in tier 1 just shows the difference

sure its big in china cause they know they can compete in it and all the big orgs with fans are invested,but in terms of passion for the esport cs is miles ahead,if valorant was a eu only game with 0 good chinese teams do u think the hype would be similar to what it is now?

damnnn,ok fair play,i expect the shanghai major is probably like 4-5m in total wiewership sad that we cant get the chinese numbers for cs

.

i really doubt it cause pgl copenhagen has chinese wiewership too

cool can u show a source that leaked that cause i cant find anything,im sure it was 2.7m but we didnt hear a single official statement from anyone about this wiewership i really doubt ur source for this because if it was riot would have 100% boasted about it like they did with champs

just proves how massive valorant esports is in china if they couldnt break atleast 700k for the first ever chinese masters to break the record of madrid lol

well by the looks of it i dont think it will,2024 was a very fortunate year for valorant,its not about people caring more about valorant than in the past years but the teams that made it

why didnt riot leak the official chinese peak for shanghai? Since the event was actually in china

NA times for champs wasnt bad for eu and pacific has bad times no matter if its eu or NA so it doesnt really make a difference

yea i saw the passion china had in masters shanghai vs some of the chinese cs lans in the last years and its very safe to say that if china was actually good in cs it would easily surpass their valorant viewership

NA timezone is good for eu too so i dont really understand why u think champs in eu would get more wiewers than champs in NA for example

we only know this because riot got the chinese numbers we dont even know the chinese viewership for the shanghai major,if a chinese team was in a major final it would easily reach those same numbers in china cs is really popular there even tho they dont even have any good teams

but champs was in NA for 2023 and it wasnt

champs didnt exceed copenhagen,if shanghai major had better time for eu it would have been higher viewership too

what point

2024 sen* now look at overall wiewership,keep in mind valorant only has 3 actual real events a year to make it more hype cause theres so little actual international competition so a ultimate clout team like sen making it there and going to the finals is easy viewership

well that is the dynamic when valorant wants to be a competitor to cs,valorant fans were also talking about this game killing/surpassing cs years ago as a real topic but now u obviously u dont see it almost at all anymore since it still hasnt happened and probably isnt in the near future

yes

yea but majority of valorants viewership doesnt come from eu,even katowice peaks at 1.3m with a boring stomp final that could have gotten the same peak as champs 2024 with probably a top 3 final ever
