honestly this, but not just brainlessly play. What I see in lots of plat/diamond lobbies when i watch my friends play is that their aim is not actually shit. They mostly hit decent shots but their positioning and decision-making during the round is so bad that it outweighs their aim. Yes, aim duels are basically a 50/50 but if youre in the right position, or if youre playing around your teammates info, then this 50/50 might become a 60/40. Also watch your own VODS, but not for you to glaze yourself every kill you get. Study why you killed someone and not the other way around. If they killed you instead, look out for what happened that managed to get you killed. Was it you getting caught in the open with the knife out? Was it because you or your teammates didnt use your util to clear certain corners? Was it because all five of you were on one side of the map and the other team simply capitalized on that to get control of the whole map or was it simply aim diff?(it happens) When you look for these things, I can guarantee you that youll see so many glaring mistakes that youll be baffled as to why you were doing what you were doing and when you start to apply that knowledge in game then you will most certainly climb up the ranks.

go play unranked then.

I just watched it. He was 100% suffering from depression, glad he bounced back and is finding the meaning in his life. Dude is an amazing player and it would be a tragedy to lose him because of it.

consistency at being the first losers LUL

azzelastia you are the most braindead, retarded monkey I have ever seen in this site and there are a lot of them here

Less is only 20 years old and hes already a reference in this game wtf

of course we thought that. dude was carrying AND having to IGL 3 retards who cant play for shit (except for oxy)

says the bronzilian

imma be honest with you, Id never ever ever buy a 6k vp melee. Its never worth it. At that point just buy the whole bundle or dont buy it at all

so youre saying this match doesnt even matter then. both teams are not at their peak

2G played together the whole year lol

oh true. I forgot abt it. but hes a great second caller

yes

if he cant win 50% of his duels then hes simply not at the level where he can shoot back against his opponents, no matter what platoon or whatever says about his mechanics. (and dont come with the excuses that he has to IGL. benjyfishy is a great example of great IGLing and great mechanics)

dude is just a lazy bum LMAO (and also absurdly genetically gifted)

lots of multikills + 1 clutch won

did you watch the same game as I? Governor was NOT the problem

tbh id bait the fuck out of that team too

I dont think hes skipping. thats exactly what he meant

just the plane tickets alone will make lots of ppl reconsider going, so I think its a fair price

boaster best brimstone? yeah this list is 100% shite

if iso is mid ceiling bc of aim then reyna should be there too. Aim demons playing reyna are a horror to play against.

nobody thinks that neon players grind aimlambs when they get killed during dash. they just think its a mechanic that should never be in a shooter where you can kill people in less than half a second.

85kg of (mostly) muscle. december is the month where I slack off on the diet

wait, lotus? since when are they adding lotus back?

lol, it has been lifted the ban for a while now bro

let me tell you a secret: if you uninstall twitter, all those problems will go away and these people will stop existing for you.

one of the most anticipated matches for this split in brazil no?

ethans IGLing was ASS. they were lost most of the time when playing against good teams. there was a reason why they went 8x26 against lev

dont get me wrong, I love ethan and hes an insane initiator + mid rounder but he is not fit to play the IGL role.

when did he crashout in the comms?

sentinel is more than just holding a bomb bro. I'd argue its one of the hardest ones to play correctly

your joke was really funny, just let me schedule my laugh

a 1 trick jett and a 1 trick raze, they complement each other in mediocrity

then his name would be chaser, duh

whos newzera?

they won last year too and guess what? right after that they got curbstomped by some t3 randos

low tier bait

I cannot believe I'm in a timeline where I see eggster actually playing yoru only competitively

bro the 1st minute of zander's clip LMAOOOOOO

ask BulkyLettuce, he should know the answer

youre insane to think of buffing gravnet

youre bronze, just focus on your mechanics and Ill guarantee youll be able to leave this elo even with a laptop. play TDMs, try not to panic when engaging a bombsite, practice your strafe mechanics too.. the rest youll learn with experience

PS: also dont try to play for your teammates exclusively if youre playing a supporting role, like initiator or controller, especially if theyre not communicating.

has he ever igld before?

yeah im keeping receipt of this, good luck

Palla and Liazzi might not even play in 2025

Smartest liquid fan, indeed..

Learning curve? Id say Dota and League are up there. football though.. It definitely requires a lot of muscle memory, spatial awareness, coordination and good physical conditioning to be able to play at a decent level, plus there are a lot of strategies you can learn to catch adversaries by surprise.. yeah I can see football as being one of the hardest, not THE hardest though.

Both succesful sports and esports have what I like to call "watchability". They are easy for a layman to stand there and understand the basic principles of the game by just watching and a few explanations.

Football? Two teams of eleven each, objective is to score goals with the ball so they fight for the control of it. Cant use hands except for the goalkeeper. Ends at 90 minutes with two halves of 45 minutes each, the one who has most goals scored at the end wins.

CS/Valorant? Two teams of 5, the objective is to attack/defend bombsites and have the bombs explode or defuse it depending on which side you're playing and/or eliminate the other team. First to 13 points wins with teams switching sides after 12 rounds.

The main problem that sports dont have and esports do is infrastructure. With Football, you can get anything round and soft to kick, 4 wooden sticks and you got yourself a ball and two goals, all you need is people to play. With esports? Before you can even play the game, you need a house with paid electricity, a PC and good internet so your playing experience isnt insufferable and then you have to see if your PC even runs the game you try to play. We may not seem like it but we are very privileged to be able to play a game like this when there are millions out there that can barely afford food.

This is why I dont see esports being as successful as normal sports. At least not in 10 years.

And also because the Olympics barred entry for esports a few years ago.

name, flag, flair, stars

@Rey55 youre being called out by Azzelastia of all people, how does that feel?
