Aww... actually very cute. Yuya, unfortunately time dictates for us regarding personal information disclosures, and we're not living in the right time, so to speak. It's not going to get any better as many of us already have been scarred or become a bit of paranoid from certain past events. Though, it's still nice to hear that some people are open to such ideas. <3

C9B vs. FNC was just series between somewhat equaly strong teams, where C9B were not viewed as favorites(nor FNC), at least from a historical and statistical point of view. So, calling it an "upset" is wrong - just correcting you here. On the other hand, the other two matches you've listed have a clear favorite in them, so there are possible scenarios of an "upset"

You forgot to include another IMPORTANT question: "Have you ever smurfed?" .... Besides, if you are going to measure reliability of your questionnaire and conduct a deeper analysis, I'd suggest you to include more questions, especially if you want to research "issues" of smurfing. Good luck!

Haha well, I know what you mean because I was on the verge of buying one not long ago, but the price tag daauuummm - still hesitate LUL. We will see more reasonable costs for those strong GPUs in the future, thanks to a the major ban on cryptos in China, but it will still take some time SADGE....

Yeah, I've used the BE Quiet DRP 4 in the past and it's somewhat bulky... On a couple of gigabyte aorus x570 boards, I've tested the same 2x8 trident golds that I presently own... the solution was to put the ram in 1b-2b slots to make them work with the black rock. I was unable to put the dark rock at all LUL on a mini version of the Aorus x570. If you're certain the ram won't fit, the hyperX is the way to go then. I don't believe it will degrade your in-game performance.... it has been shown in my and others' tests over the past two years that the non-b-die on AMD will result in a little less snappier windows experience. You could always buy the Patriots or other type of b-die instead if the measurements is similar to hyperX'. Or if you're going with 2x8gb, you could always configure them as 1b-2b to accommodate that hefty dark rock in there. One thing though the 750-850 psu would do you good as 650 is pretty tight.

hehe I'm waiting for 3090 to go down in price but SADGE for now LUL.... good rig BTW ;)

posted about 3 years ago

Get psu either 750 or 850... don't worry much if it's not gold etc... some headroom needed... Also stay on win10 for a while as AMD is a bit off on win11 for now. Also if you haven't bought RAM yet, go with some g.skill instead as they are sams b-die and typically work better on AMD rigs - or any other b-die as Patriot Viper Steel or similar .

Edited: RAM suggestion added.

Bro, selling that excellent i7 9700k that can be overcklocked to 5.2ghz or on average 5.0ghz stable was probably a mistake imho....
On my rig:

  • Intel(R) Core (TM) i7-9700K-3.60GHz(5.0GHz-OC)
  • Asus ROG MAXIMUS XI GENE
  • EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti FTW3 GAMING ICX
  • G.Skill Trident Z Royal DDR4-3200 C14 (OC-4133) 2x8GB
  • ASUS ROG XG258Q FHD/TN 240Hz
  • All watercooled with EK Water Blocks - very important for OC
  • Windows 11 - similar numbers were on Win10 but in static only up to 630fps

In the range, I get roughly 700fps in static, 460-90fps when shooting bots, and 340-90fps during active battles in mm.

Overclocking your processor is the key in attaining high fps in Valorant, and it's the same for CS. Though the GPU will help, the processor is still the most important improvement in terms of fps in such games. However, since you've already gotten yourself a new rig, I'd suggest you checking out some optimization guides. It will help a lot to get your fps stable. Good Luck

The whole movie is quite intense too, daumm .... I've watched it like ten times and keep finding new things everytime I watch it again etc. In generall, it's an educational type of movie on human nature which will always remain among those of real shocking ones, let alone we are going to see anything similar amongst such type of movie in the future. --- a true classic

nAts 267.9 acs
Asuna 270.6 acs

What a FLEX, given that nAts is playing on Sen/control agents and Asuna is a duelist.

On a more serious note, you don't claim someone is the best in the world based on one match and use terms like "average." You can't make decisions like that. The sample is insignificant and unreliable, from one game. And we're in the environment(like a video game) where probability make up for a significant portion of the game. Meaning that if one small thing went wrong in one game, a player's previous ranking could drop, making a sample size crucial in such estimation to provide consistency - not a one-time thingy at all. More rounds will always be better no matter what.

posted about 3 years ago

You are incorrect in your statement. If you're discussing a statistical sample using terms like "AVERAGE," you should also consider "ROUNDS PLAYED." Although Asuna is a fantastic player, he has only played 100 rounds compared to nAts' 197. You rank Asuna based on a short sample size compared to any other Gambit player, therefore you're way off here. We'll have to wait till after today's game against Acend to assess his performance, but not before that. Furthermore, there's no need to rush because conclusions are usually made at the end of competitions.

Back then OG knocked them out, hence why we will not see them in Berlin instead of G2. Despite your flawed logic, I truly hope GG will come back stronger one day.

Yes, as of now he's playing on IMT roster with 144 ping in Nerdstreet Gamers Summer. Check out the latest IMT matches.

posted about 3 years ago

I'm not sure whether that's the real cause, given that we're in a new gaming environment and that some of the pros had moved to Valorant with VAC bans from CS as well. I basically paraphrased what he said, only guessing with "possibly," though he may clarify the missing details in the future.

posted about 3 years ago

LOL ... Nah bro, I only have 3 that I'm currently monitoring including his. Like the person in comment #7 above said that 1tapping in NA, and on 144 ping(to be correct), is VERY NORMAL to him/her LOL. To which I'd reply that being match MVP with 36k and K:D of 3.0 on the same ping is NOT VERY NORMAL - more like INSANELY GOOD... and the link ofc:

He said that he doesn't play in EU cause he doesn't have same motivation as in NA and that NA region is his dream. Possibly, he had exhausted some paths in EU but looks like he's found the way to get signed in quite short time and in NA and by Immortals - trully amaizing.

posted about 3 years ago

Not just a potential but his initial dream is to play in NA.

posted about 3 years ago

He peaked at #12 radiants of NA after 329 matches in current E3:A1. All that on average ping of 150....

Come on broski, not like that. He's been quite consistent agains some of the bigest names in NA.

Define normal EU radiant please.

Jamppi as of current is top 163 EU radiant, and as of last episode is top 253 radiant. I am really confused by what do you might think of a "normal EU radiant."

Nukkye's Raze but Sheydos's Sage

posted about 3 years ago

Cypher:
Nats, Sayf and Chiwawa

Killjoy:
Suygetsu, Logan and Xistou

Cross Cyph/KJ:
Meddo, Suygetsu and Magnum

Sage:
Scream, Hoody and Sheydos

Notable:
Dimasick, Monsteer, Leo and AimDLL/Paura

Edit:

  1. Across all EMEA
  2. Not an easy task as say Chiwawa most likely won't play Cypher any more longer; Logan has not reached the playoffs but is an excellent Killjoy; Meddo has been on the rise in cross between Cyph/Kj and as of now is looking strong pick for the team; Leo is arguably one of the best Sages in EU but had not been playing much on that agent recently; Monsteer had not reached the playoffs but an absolute MONSTER of a player on both Cyph/KJ. Xistou is another amazing player that belongs in Cyph/KJ cross category. Also, in general, the cross between regions such as CIS, TR and EU create some obstacles.

The coach's absence had always been a huge setback for TSM. We began to witness a more consistent winning performance from them after the arrival of Chet in May - Bang and Levi, of course, further boosted TSM's squad. In my opinion, they need a little more time with their current coach and squad to obtain more experience. They have shown that they have the ability to be a top team; they simply require more time to transfer to the next, stable top 3 levels. By crunching the data, an analyst might perhaps improve their roster even more, relieving the coach and their igl of these responsibilities - only about $20k a year. Last but not least, the team's discipline should be top notch, as competition is becoming more fierce, and individual mechanics will no longer be sufficient to win series.

In general, a skilled coach and analyst may boost any new or struggling team in a variety of ways. Their job is vastly undervalued at the moment, perhaps due to Shahzam's excellent work. But not many teams have someone as giffted as Shahzam who could cover for coach/analyst/igl and grow as individual player + stream 6hr every day, if any teams at all LOL. A coach and an analyst can bring order to teams by providing a vision and reassigning responsibilities from players who must keep up with their own personal development. For instance, after losing Johnta, FPX found itself in a very difficult and vulnerable position. Now, their former analyst must serve as both a coach and a data cruncher for the team which is reflected in their recent negative performance. I'm not going to get into this topic in depth because it would require some research, but both SMB and FF hired EU coaches (Tanizhq and Salah) to tackle EMEA, which has proven to work for Turkish talent, especially SMB. FF also put forth a strong effort, but they were unable to advance due to their possibly inexperienced team and the inexperience of their individualy young talents. VGIA also promoted Pipson to full-time coaching, and with the addition of new players, things began to click for them as well.

Yes, and it appears that this is the only category in which they are above 100t. The difference is merely 25 circuit points, which is a negligible difference.

https://liquipedia.net/valorant/VALORANT_Champions_Tour/2021/Circuit_Points/North_America

The OP claimed that Split was key in winning NV in the 100t equation. However, he/she forgot that NV also won 100t's second best map, Icebox, which, in theory, evens out the score between the two teams. NV should have won their Ascent pick in order to win the game, but they did not. It was their own choice that they failed to win. As some have stated, you can't blame the system that is strategically exploited to win series, hence his whole argument is void of reasoning. Furthermore, the OP is arrogant and delusional, refusing to accept the opinions of others. Like, how does he/she want to discuss thing through his pathetic thread? I just don't know....

No worries and good luck in your Critical Thinking classes.

posted about 3 years ago

No, it was not a smug... it was just a simple observation of the past events. No matter what you claim, you just have to consider at least their recent games. 100t won the two recent games and that tells a lot on who is stronger, at least for the time being. We can speculate all day long but if there's no data to support our claims, we just can't consider it legitimate.
Give me a shout, if one day you'd need a lesson in critical thinking - it will cost you $$.
