my ex looked like her and I really miss her

DRX has been top 4-6 for 3 years and Mako is by far the best player on that squad. s0m has performed well at one LAN, and he threw a super crucial round

if it were like reddit which auto upvotes urself its fine. but u have to actively click that little + button. it shows no belief in urself or ur opinions, and it shows that u care too much about these stupid points, when ur opinion should stand by itself. in short, ew

he is the new hotshot Jett/Chamber/duelist. Cryo in 2022 was as hyped as Demon1. Everyone thought Cryo would dominate but he hasn't. EG went on a super hot run when they were shit before. They do look to be really good, but the only teams that have been consistently amazing are Fnatic, Optic and Loud, and maybe DRX. Demon1 has to be good for way longer to make my HM list

Shao is as good as Leo on initiator, and is as flexible as Chronicle. He is also clutch af and has better aim than either of them, altho probably worse decision making than Leo. He could be best itw but Navi is playing like shit rn. Mako is the most consistent player of all time. 1.20+ rating on all controllers over all time.

s0m hasn't won jack shit. he is consistent, but hasn't pulled NRG through to a win yet. Marved peak was clearly better. I am open to the possibility but he hasnt proved anything yet

he is the 4th best player on fnatic. initiators are the hardest and most impactful role and leo and chronicle are the best itw at that. alfajer is just bs w how he's been playing past 6 months. derke used to be the best on fnatic but times have changed. thats why I put yay in HM, obv he's not even top 30 now

spawned w upvote, mako wud never throw that round on pearl lmao

demon1 is just new cryocells w flickier aim, he doesnt have goat potential

yay was the best player for a year, i cant not include him. i could take out marved tho

i pretend my pillow is kyedae sometimes

Yay and Marved were our best shot. Americas is deepest region, but no one except Crashies approaches these players. Top 8 in terms of just actually being good at the game:

1. Leo
2. Shao
3. Mako
4. Chronicle
5. Alfajer
6. Less
7. Derke
8. Aspas

These guys are a cut above everyone else. HM's are: Nats, Suygetsu, Crashies, Jinggg, Sayf, Sacy, Optic Yay and Marved, Kangkang. I think Zekken can make this list, but he has to win something.

i don't think he'll get any T1 offers tbh, unless he moves to asia or EU. he will be stuck in limbo for a while and hopefully reinvents himself bc I rlly ike yay

ya but he just kinda mechanically diffs everyone. if he can keep it up for sure, but that seems less consistent than perfect decision making which is what Leo has

that doesnt count cuz he played Sage which is the retirement home for washed one trick Jett/Chambers (see Tenz, Ardiis)

I did this before but reevaluating after Tokyo

5: Boaster - has case for goat IGL, but didn't see any success before this superteam. He's obv 5 bc of the other 4 players

4: Derke - best duelist, tied w Aspas. Very few duelists are elite at Raze and Jett (only Aspas and KK come to mind). Also elite at Chamber who is basically a duelist. Has been top 5 EMEA for 3 years, one of the most consistently great player in Val history. Only at 4 because the other players are so good.

3: Alfajer - best firepower since Tenz Reykjavic, but he's doing it against non-scrubs and for the past 6 months. If he can keep up this incredible form, he would be best player itw. Consistently wins 1v2's and 1v3's, just wins super impactful gunfights. Only reason he's 3 is because his impact comes from his ability to just shit on anyone, and while his utility is good, Nats and Less are clearly better at lurking and utility.

2: Chronicle - best flex ever by far, can play anything but has legitimately played 8 agents at an elite level (Breach, Sova, Viper, Raze, Kayo, Chamber, Brimstone, Sage). Best Breach itw, Sova diffed Crashies in Berlin, his Viper is only slightly worse than Nats and Less. Most consistently great player in history. 3 time LAN winner.

1: Leo - flawless player, he is Chronicle specialized for initiators (which I think is the hardest and most impactful role) and has a higher peak than Chronicle for his agents (best Sova, Fade, Skye itw). Chronicle overheats and makes mistakes, but Leo very very rarely does. Actually is the highest rated EMEA player every year over the past 3 years, his shit teams just held him back. I don't think it's close tbh, Leo has been perfect the past year.

wasn't yay known to be pretty toxic back when he played csgo? I still like him tho, i hope he bounces back

duelist talent is super oversaturated in NA, and yay hasn't made it clear that he can be a top tier post nerf Jett. he already has a baity/aggressive lurking/angle holding playstyle that suits the sentinel role, and he can just play KJ who is super OP and has super straightforward utility. Chamber is also probably gonna be a niche meta pick. NA doesn't have any god sentinels, those are all in EU (Alfajer, Nats, Suygetsu) and Less. Yay is a pretty smart player, and his best trait is winning straight up gunfights. I think he can be like a worse Alfajer, whose impact comes from consistently shitting on people the way yay used to.

Edit: I forgot Yay's best trait is his oping. Nivera and a bunch of other teams have shown that oping is kinda viable on other agents tho, KJ, Raze etc. I think hed make it work.

fucking finally, jinggg is the hardest carry in tier 1

ive been there done that. the lights were too bright and the crown is too heavy. I'm giving my title as vlrking to tremblona bc I think his bit is the funniest and longest lasting. My honorable mention goes to babysasuke for his commitment to being such a piece of shit that my favorite player made a thread just for him. Also his takes are good.

there is nothing about you that I can roast. your downfall is mediocrity and it's mine too because this is my least funny comment

to be honest, i just came home drunk from a bar. I don't know if I have the commitment to become vlrking. Please just be grateful that I am blessing this community with the waterfall of wit and charisma I splooge on my friends and family every day. I will be back to post intermittently and challenge any npc's who think they are somehow funnier than me. trembo is actually funny tho, I respect him

how did u get more upfrags than the guy who posted more skulls than u 1 minute earlier than u. life is a mystery

calabasa. god gives his hardest battles to his strongest soldiers

1st hot take: jinggg is somehow underrated, he's top 10 all time

inspired by that post, Ive decided to become this website's king. I will publish my nuanced and insightful hot takes everyday until I am the undisputed goat like Chronicle my favorite player

In response to what Bren said, he is wrong. It's so bad. There are 2 duos that are good: Bren/Sideshow and Hypoc/Pansy. First has good insight and okay hype. Imo they are the best, because when I listen to them, it feels like they actually play the fucking game lol. Second has okay insight, good hype. The rest are really bad.

I think Doug is cringe af, and he offers no insight into the game and has really cringe wordplay. "When you dance with the devilish Dapr, it's a done deal!" That shit is seared in my mind for eternity because of how fucking dumb it is. I think about it in the shower. Balla has much better insight, but he does not generate any hype whatsover. Tom/Mitch, I honestly like them, especially when they casted Gambit's 13-0 vs G2 on Icebox, but they've since faded.

It's kind of appalling how bad the casting is for how high the production value of all the LANs are. Why can't they bring in actual Radiants/Pros with any amount of personality?? Make Steel cast, he is unemployed, and he is like the Draymond Green of the Valorant community - controversial, kind of shit but actually really good, with legitimate takes and commentary. Tarik?? They literally fly him into every LAN, so he can generate half of Valorant's viewership. But holy shit, I'd nut so hard if he actually casted. He is not eloquent whatsoever, but he is still a seasoned professional and he is hilarious.

if u project them as individuals into 2023 fo sho, but just watch the games man. if u timetravel gambit into now, they would get destroyed.

she said she likes me, but I cant commit romantically so she doesnt want to see me. looks like Ill be watching acend vs gambit, knowing in my mind gambit should have won :(

thats 100% fair bro, not everything has 2 be sexual.

u dont got a someone u think of in the dead of night?

getting bricked up replying to myself

i hope the ppl on vlr aint transphobic. i still think abt that girl time to time, even tho shes trans, hope she texts me back

u catching me drunk so I will be 100% honest. having done 1 girl anally, and 1 trans girl anally, its the same
