tweet is deleted btw

rip

either redgar or emil has to go, everyone else is fine on the roster imo. nAts not playing cypher on cypher maps and getting knocked out without playing cypher is criminal. Also the jampii jett on their final map to get knocked out? awful.

valorant players literally dont care about csgo. most of us play both games while its not the same over there. I have seen more valorant shit talking in my recent csgo & cs2 games than the other way around. They all hate valve for copying buy screen & MR12. valorant players accept being a copy of csgo while cs players cannot. That's where the issue is.

shooting feels much better

every cs2 thread on hltv/twitter has players crying over spray/movement being horrible. I played it myself yesterday and it was laggy & sluggish. I like csgo but come the fuck on.

The issue becomes the official sources will not give the "official journalists" the go ahead to publish until its very close to the official announcement. james_ff never competed with anyone, not officially anyway. Your medium on where to publish the sources is entirely subjective. If you think vlr is amateur while giving twitter the official tag, its YOUR line which is not the same for many here. All he does is post multiple scrim pics and theory crafts on VLR, then posts it on twitter with a maybe. That's it. He's not stating as if its a fact, so why are you (and others) treating it as one & denouncing it.

I do agree with semantics part but I cant agree about the medium where he can & cant post. Do you think dexerto doesnt have clickbait articles? Your standard to james_ff is far more harsh than you apply for these websites you deem official. I think the main issue here is, james_ff has been with the community for a while mingling so we know how he's getting the scrim pics. While the other "official journalists" are all knee deep in conflict of interests who cant say shit to each other or publish. James_ff doesnt need to go by those rules.

A good chunk of vlr hates G2 female team and the players in it because they beat a trans team to win the cup. Its not a surprise you dont see much talk about them. But we appreciate them nonetheless.

it proves both those are the mods deleting george geddes threads to protect him.

this. a lot of "valorant coaches" on youtube are smurfing. You get hit with reality fast when you actually watch them play in their rank.

you can sense the insecurity of reporting there. This generally happens when established names come across young bloods. They try to take em down & mock them.

his dream of having all KR players might come true

at this point, mistic has to have some curse on his head to not win anything

jeez, unless you have clout or a top KD player, you're getting kicked

either redgar or emil has to go because they have the firepower but their strats are way too lacking.

unpopular opinion - shroud's viper was way better than pancada for SEN

careful with facts on this website, stay safe out there, soldier.

everyone liked halls, both CT & T side, cockblocking that didnt make sense at all.

thx

what sources are you following for pacific updates?

it aint that deep

has elaborate explanations to avoid accepting the fact that CS2 copied valorant

interesting.

nope, they copied because valorant made it popular. until you accept it, we cant talk.

I think you havent accepted the fact that CS2 copied valorant's buy screen & MR12. Get over that first before arguing what's new or what isnt.

but you did imply CS2 didnt copy valorant. semantics will not help here, I'm afraid.

actually they copied it because 1.6 had it

come on now, be honest with yourself.

ask him how's he coping with CS2 after they decided to copy valorant's buy screen & MR12?

SHORT TERM GHUSA KE NHI HOGA

franchising is 4 years, mere bhai.

wtf? its obviously apac qualifiers/lcq. we played a couple matches or max 4-5 with full indian roster at the top level before our players split up and franchising started. We didnt get as many chances as some other teams with full region teams. We're not good at FPS so we deffo need more time at the top level & the franchising was expected to have a full Indian roster before my guy went KR retirement home. I never asked for a direct spot, dont need to be so aggressive. I do want a full Indian roster which I dont think we're gonna get halting any improvement for our region.

same with shaz/fns etc. the passive aggressive-ness rubs people the wrong way.

and? when did they play T1 with 5 Indians? and how many matches?

we

arent you from bangladesh, pakistan, or a muslim who hates India?

given so many chances

when? we played like 1-2 matches at the T1 level with full indian rosters. Those are not chances.

we went like 0-4 with all international players before we recovered some of it in the end. I'd like to go 0-4 with Indian players. LATAM players or JP players werent strong initially too until they had 1 year to actually play with their team at the highest level. JP teams are still not highly rated but the top team was formed. You are literally advocating for a region to die just to appease to some imaginary short term rewards which are not there. Long term projects take time but are rewarding. Players dont have incentive so they dont play, leading to society in India not letting cracked zoomers to spend time on it, leading to no strength.

But, I do agree on other points regarding Indian families offering no support.

I think he knows the guard players left to T1 teams which is why guard didnt sign the agreement for 2 months, they were waiting to fill the 5. He knows riot did the right thing.

its pretty obvious guard didnt sign for 2 months because all 5 players werent on the same page to play next season.

lets hope they find a better solution and if they dont, you can guess guard did some fuckery because riot is treating the other ascension teams well.

guards dropping all the players with NO BUYOUTS

this happened after they got kicked. When riot made the decision, they were still under contract.

Making an exception now won't ruin the future of challengers

why? it comes down to "i said so" and I cant argue with stuff like that. no one can.

again

it doesnt matter

this argument is useless

doesnt work in legal context

When riot made this decision, the players werent F/A. After getting kicked, now they are F/A. So, NOW riot can still find some kind of solution.

It would still set the precedent if Guard was given the exception. They still need to explain why they or the players didnt sign the contract for 2 months.

1 & 3 are the same point and 2 was already known since forever. Also, this tweet lied about the 24 hours timeline. I cant this guy seriously.

very plausible.

1. Guard didnt have all 5 players since some of them took franchised contracts leaving them to find players to finish the 5.

2. Need more from riot here

It is obvious both of them are hiding stuff but I just cant see any other reason for Guard to not sign the contract other than not having all their players on the same page.

how is matchfixing different to selling your slot by throwing the game & making the deal with the team later under the table to get all 5 players?

Did any party involved here break the law?

exactly they didnt when the event happened. But CSGO intervened later & banned them because the team that won against ibuypower went into the next stage of the tournament. There was no precedent BUT it happened because you cant control it. So, your little "goodwill" about "the org I support" wont sell their slot because they're honest bois doesnt actually work and will lead to teams selling their slots later. If riot deny, this is the example they will use to win the case.

Legal precedent doesn't matter

ibuypower in csgo matchfixing

it does matter, as I said, just because you dont like it doesnt mean its "useless" or "doesnt matter". I still want leo faria to get fired too but lets be realisitc here.

What if the 5 players chose a different org?

why would they do that when there's no space for all 5 to play together on other teams?

as I said, you're right but people just are taking their anger out on riot instead of guard or the players who left leaving the guard to not sign the contract.

I did, doesnt change much. it basically came down to "i dont like it". which doesnt really work, does it? and good will in esports never works out, watch the cheating scandals in csgo & cod. The legal precedent matters.

Now, this argument is completely useless

interesting how a point you dont like is useless.
