Well that's the thing, DFM is actually good

100 replies for someone that used the sentence "better shooter than 90% of franchised players" shockingly successful bait

I could see Potter wanting to work with Icy or Victor

Up until this point there has been no convincing argument for why Flor should be in T1 over other T2 prospects. It's really that simple. People get rubbed the wrong way when Flor is lauded as the best pickup for a T1 team when other T2 talent is more deserving of the opportunity. People act like Flor deserved tier 1 because of how they play in GC, but that's irrelevant considering the low level of play in GC compared with tier 2. Flor probably hit #1 Radiant, but NA rank 1 doesn't mean anything either when guys like Curry get it so easily.

But considering Flor trialed with Apeks and was good enough to be picked up, I'm looking forward to seeing how things go. Getting picked up over Cned and other Turkish duelists is a risky move for an Ascension team that's fighting to keep their spot.

most delusional man alive

Sym played poorly against tier 1 teams
Flor plays good against tier 5 teams
Sym played well against tier 2 teams
Sym is likely better

Flor has to beat Shanks in a best of 7 on C long Haven before we even consider this

For India it's mainly the fact that PC gaming just isn't big over there, Indian gamers can't own a PC that runs at 100 fps and wifi issues on top of that

I don't agree with women not having their own league but I don't think that's going to be the reason why women won't have a high representation at a high level. Men typically are more competitive than women, this is how it's always been in gaming. In League there's no women who could compete in even T3 leagues. Women circuits have existed in Lol and CS for 20+ years and there aren't many tier 1 ready women in either of those games. Some women have proven to have a high ceiling at chess, but not a large amount of them either. Men are more dedicated to esports/professional gaming, even high level female players have said this. A lot of women would rather focus on other careers with longevity. I think there will be some girls who will be in valorant tier 1 but it'll never be close to even.

where is sato

If you want to shut people up real quick, you could find the games where they played against Shanks

Can you say that to me without lying your ass off?

I'll talk specifically about people in major institutions and influential billionaires. I think It's more about a wealth and power / control thing. When you gain a large amount of wealth and influence, it makes people seek out more and more degenerate things, and often times they want to hurt people, and they want to get away with it. When you are wealthy or well off, you can hide it better and enjoy more opportunities to gratify yourself through connections and wealth.

These people run international cliques. The top of the music industry, Hollywood, the FBI and other intelligence agencies, the most powerful churches. There are cliques of powerful people in these institutions who are connected, some of them might run blackmail rings, but they all protect each other. Look into Epstein and Maxwell and all of their connections and you see a glimpse of what the international clique really is. There's a reason why they were arrested for sex trafficking to... nobody. Evil people protect evil people.

We're comparing Logan Paul to the Epstein list? I think we're talking different tiers of people. There's a difference between being a rich asshole and human scum.

1. EDG
2. WOL (replacing V1ya with a better player means they're 100% going to be a top 3 team for CN)
3. TE (I see this team only improving)
4. BLG (they look rejuvenated)
5. FPX (have the talent to be the best in the region, but they've looked off since Shanghai)
6. XLG (lacking firepower, but I could see them having solid results)
7. NOVA (they can shoot, but lack a great coach or igl to really tie things together)
8. JDG (hard to judge right now, could be higher)
9. DRG (I don't see them having great results)
10. AG (this roster is a downgrade)
11. TEC (firepower isn't there, whole team needs to be rebuilt around rb and haodong)
12. TYLOO (the leftovers, had no idea how to utilize their players and repeatedly switched them out, hope its different next year but off season hasn't changed my mind)

Neon goes against basic fundamentals of valorant. You have to have calm aim in order to rank up, but Neon challenges how you're taught to aim.

swerl and jemkin are good

W, I agree with vlrs decision

not as exciting as regular season, and maybe they would rather take a break until kickoff, those are my only guesses (if there is a reason at all)

Singularity phantom is shockingly bad to aim with, only the Sheriff was worth using in the original bundle

Am I the only one that thinks Spectrum phantom is difficult to aim with? Spraying with it feels terrible imo

Name of the Wind is a good pick, don't see that recommended too often. Terrific writing
Sarah Maas is solid (depending which series you pick) but her books lean more towards women imo

First Law is outstandingly good fantasy, lots of good picks here especially The Road

Maybe when they prove they're good enough. Like the differences between GC and Tier 2 and 1 are indisputable. Flor is the only one from GC right now that anyone says should get a shot.

Kazuo Ishiguro is good for quick reads, I've read 4 of his books and really enjoyed all of them. Some fantasy and science fiction elements, but also very real emotional elements too.

Never Let Me Go
Klara and the Sun
The Buried Giant
A Pale View of Hills

calm down, delusional

There is no way that someone with a Palestine flag and someone underneath them with a China flag are lecturing people about transphobia... right? No, it's not because of people like Joe Rogan kek. You could lie and pretend that people who don't believe there's more than 2 genders are the minority all you want, it's not going to change the fact that the vast majority of people do not accept this modern western concept that is forced upon the United States.

MrCani really thinks no one is going to notice him down there

We could see FPX or Trace fall off next year (FPX has been falling off) and Wolves or NOVA possibly step up and beat either of them to make an international. Though I think Trace will be improving as a team, heybey is a weak link.

theyve been like that all year

Absolute scam bundle, the sound design is nothing special, finisher is good, but no variants? and the design isn't even that great, melee is distracting more than anything else, similar level of distracting as the primordium knives but at least that bundle was good

V1ya's a solid player, much like Aluba was but Lysoar and juicy are both upgrades for Wolves. I think they could be a top 3 team for cn next year, maybe making all 3 internationals

I'll echo the thoughts of others here. Less on the Harbor, more on the Cypher and Killjoy. Both agents are easy to play and let you play more passively and focus on your aim. Self conscious about your setups? Look up a quick radiant setup guide, CambCamb is a good channel for that.

Omen and Clove are also good for ranking up. I wouldn't play duelist unless your mechanics are good. To improve your mechanics, pick a sens and play more, aim train, maybe some deathmatches. Silver to Plat lobbies are heavily aim focused, I'm Plat 1 right now. You can win games through individual mechanics. Gets harder as you go up, more difficult to carry.

more kick streamers need to be arrested
streamer culture is fucking disgusting

Swerl and Guang were two of the most individually impressive players in China this year, so not really

Am I the only one who thinks this vandal is fucking ass? The shooting sound is not good, it sounds like default. It's a bulky/heavy looking skin. No reload animation. The finisher is good, but I feel like this is an Aemondir bundle situation where if you have a collection of good vandals already there's just no reason to go out of way and buy this.

agreed
except with the last one

I feel like Oxy would be performing a lot better if he were on G2 or another team. C9 is inconsistent as a whole and so is he, but when he's good he plays like an A-tier duelist.

WWWWWWWWWWWWWW

least obvious bait

I mean Sym is more qualified for t1 than Flor is, and Sym isn't playing very good lol. Flor should just grind t2 and prove their talent in a better system and against better competitors. Choosing Flor for EG could completely derail their 2025. It would be a lot safer to pickup a duelist like Victor.
the "rumors" are hopefuls on reddit and vlr waiting for their gotcha! moment to either make fun of EG or 'own the haters'

I mean yeah you're definitely right, it's pretty well known that Vookashu and sometimes Luke have hard carried this team in the best of times. But somehow they've gotten worse post-Shanghai, there's less success then their used to be and the team somehow looks worse overall. They were in competition to make all 3 internationals this year, (lost to FPX and EDG when it mattered the most) and that looks much less likely for next year.

Yeah, I swear I heard something from RyanCentral's stream that DRG changed coaching after Shanghai? That would definitely explain why the level of play has gone down since Stage 1.
