Surely they wouldn't do that... that wouldn't be very nice

I know like 3 of these

Why are you getting dislike bombed

:(
Thank you for the info

Full Harbor util + Sage wall to entry, Cypher cam to clear backsite, gravnet for heaven, get spike down behind Sage wall (maybe combo with cove), KJ lurks mid and late flanks

Do you know how many teams are staying together for next year?

According to Rocket (the spreadsheet guy), Xdll is rumoured to be going to DFM, probably in place of Anthem

Np. That being said THE FASTER YOU STUDY THE FASTER YOU CAN OPEN A SKRIBBL LOBBY

Okay, ~$90 per textbook isn't unreasonable, now that I think about it. Especially if it's near 1000 pages and hardcover as well.

Good luck!

How is insulting his flair gonna help him stay on task 😭

Bro baited so hard he had a stroke

It wasn't Saadhak's choice to play duelist. You know that, right?

No, they would. They'd have Alfajer play duelist and Saadhak play flex

Yup, changed it back

LEV are really good on Abyss from what I can tell

Interesting ideas. What about Breeze and Fracture? I'm curious now

Yeah it said "Click to add text"

100% agree. Miniboo isn't getting massive amounts of kills, but doing his job as a duelist is much more important than that

I really like some of these ideas, actually. For one, a Harbor cascade to threaten an A lurk is super neat—Harbor could cross, someone else could cross, or no one could cross, and they'd have to reclear Rubble either way.

Harbor cascade to block the choke. KAY/O knife to suppress enemy util. Neon wall (the one Saadhak threw in their game against EG) for Neon and KAY/O to scale up. Fade eye comes in, potentially revealing any enemies past the Harbor wall, which Neon and KAY/O can shoot through the wall. KAY/O can also pop flash through the wall for him and Neon to fight. Fade could also potentially scale up with Neon and KAY/O, help them fight, maybe throw a dog or seize toward the choke. Meanwhile, KJ is spotting Mound while Harbor is holding a high-low with KJ's turret on the boxes in front of B.

(This is a WIP but this is how I'd take Rubble with the comp)

What would be the team comp on Bind or Icebox?

That's definitely an idea. Will have to think about that

I'm assuming you mean EDG nobody

Maybe, yea. Also I think the last time I mentioned it was here: https://www.vlr.gg/post/3996746/vlr-come-urgent/#6

(Also as of now I've pretty much decided on Neon)

Who's your favourite VCT pro now, then?

I will 😃👍

Fair enough LMAO

Agreed

Not usually, but I did post two different lineups (Deadlock wall and Viper setup, both for Abyss B), and I asked for thoughts on a comp idea as well (remember that Lotus comp with Fade KAY/O Harbor Killjoy I was talking about?)

Can't wait either. Man, Talon looks SO much better than when they were running Jett Raze Yoru on Split last year. Genuinely can't wait to see what they can achieve in 2025

Thanks but I ddn't know why you'd respect it. The only reason I play back is because I don't have the stamina to do anything else, and the only reason I play right wing is because I can't kick with my left foot to save my life 😭

Igling on a new map on your debut in a single elimination game while playing Jett and dropping 28 is ABSURD.

Kind of. Analysts focus on how their team and the enemy team plays, and comes up with counters and fixes and such in order to help the team win. I'm more interested in the actual agents and maps and stuff like that. Like for example, I'd think "this comp looks super viable on this map", while an analyst might think "this comp works well with the way our team plays, and it can pull off these strats in order to counter the way certain teams like to play the map"

Haven't played in a positional setting in a long time (usually it's just me and a bunch of friends kicking around a ball), but I was usually a right wing defender or midfielder

Yeah, VALORANT theory crafting. Probably should've specified. Basically theorizing different ways of playing maps, how certain agents go together, how you could use certain comps on different maps, etc.

Meh. I don't care, gimme fun agents :>

I love taking long walks, spending time talking to friends, watching informational YouTube videos, and playing football/soccer. I also like reading, writing, sudoku, theory crafting, and graphic design (mainly logos, brand identity, and UI)

The last five agents have all released super underwhelmingly so if this next one's an instant meta shaker you know I'm all for it

Brimstone on Pearl? I like the idea, but it feels like the kind of off-meta idea only teams like FUT would be interested in

Got it, thank you

Also now that I think about it people are just gonna run Omen on Pearl. Because people run Omen on every map that they can run Omen on at this point

What a sad world we live in :(

What's mouse latency? Preferably in layman's terms as the Google search I did didn't give me much info

s0m, tuyz, valyn, and Mazino are definitely the four horsemen of Harbor in Americas

Is there any real difference between DPIs? Like for example, is 0.4 @ 800 any different than 0.8 @ 400 or 0.2 @ 1600?

I was gonna make a suggestion but this one takes the cake

Definitely a possibility, but I'm not super inclined to agree. Fighter's name is Bassam Alzahrani, which doesn't match any of the names on Liquipedia. Either way, I don't think it's really fair to assume that kind of thing, because I'm sure Fighter's a great player as well

Agreed, but we don't actually know why he's on the roster instead of Akai. Maybe Fighter's contract isn't up. Maybe Akai didn't want to join The Ultimates. Maybe there were complications with the legal stuff. Could be a bunch of different factors. That being said, though, I hate to see Akai not play in Ascension, especially when he's the sole representation for the Emirates.

Agreed. But then again, The Guard
