“On Split, it felt like they were [saving] rounds they had a big chance of winning, or at least a good chance,” Destrian commented. “That helped us build so much economy, because they would just leave to save and we'd be four guys alive, three guys alive. I think that was a pretty big mistake"

if the players themselves arent confident in retakes how do you expect coaches of KC to teach them strats about retakes. saving might work in ranked but pro matches, you have to hurt the economy as much as possible.

why cant people just play irrelevant of the rank, yes you should be competitive but dont let that affect you where you forget you're playing a game for fun at the end of the day.

he "left" by giving TL a choice, TL chose scream, so he "left". It was mutual but not really, if we're being technical.

I have watched tarik's pro city matches where BcJ was playing and most of the pros also couldnt believe they took BcJ out after 1st map. Derrek also talked about the sub being fine but they removed the only player who was killing them in the first map.

he was the reason sliggy got kicked since sliggy had a clash in coaching scream (this was during peak 1 tap machine hype so TL obv chose scream), but TL realized they fucked up by keeping him and cut their losses. It cost them a year but they realized it was better late than never to kick him after.

I personally think optic was a better "team" than loud overall. loud has better firepower which got them over the line but optic was a well-oiled machine. Everyone complimenting each other's playstyles well.

I think they will add relegation next year, they didnt want to add relegation in the first year the round robin format got started. Once relegation comes, the teams will get better.

KC round differential is -52

next closest is -24 in BBL

so, if BBL have a similar record by the end KC will not be able to beat BBL

this, silver and gold lobbies have better fakes and execs than this fraud org

doesnt like being told what to do for some reason. he can be the best duelist entry in the game but he'd rather go kayo IGL while not having flashes to focus on full armor.

Depends on the elo personally, In gold, where I play I go sentinel to watch the flanks and let the other 4 go kill on site. If they're "good" duelists, they will trade easily and will actually do well without smokes imo. I personally found smokes are overrated in gold, while diamond/asc can do well without sentinels due to how easily the sentinel util gets broken whenever I play in those lobbies. I didnt play above diamond so I dont know how asc/immo lobbies go.

The sovas and KJs get instalocked so quickly on EU servers (frankfurt/stockholm) its not even funny.

I always say it as "nook-eye" or "nuck-eye" in my mind.

I always prefer weekly format like football does. It shows consistency over a season than tournaments where one guy can sometimes carry you through elimination matches if he's on form for a month. As you also mentioned, changing up strats is necessary to stay ahead, which also leads to keeping the game fresh.

For an up-and-coming FPS region, its very difficult to have two good teams just by how the talent pool gets distributed. They will improve with time or changing up players from Tier 2 while FUT can focus on improving without any changes.

I swear FF look way better than whatever BBL showed until now. Similarly to JP scene, CR and FENNEL look way better than Zeta or DFM.

the fact that no indian representation comments riles them up is proof that they're insecure about it and know they're on the wrong side of it.

they are 0-3 with 5 imports. are you high?

naaah dicey couldnt hold a site with KJ on C Lotus. he had the whole setup and still couldnt hold it until the rotations came in. If you cant hold C with KJ, you are not a good sentinel, period.

soulcas was stunning/flashing his own teammates. on the last round, he even breach ulted sayf XDDD

he also rarely tilts and enjoys playing the ranked grind.

the sage who complained about aspas not comming has now been penalized for abusing in text chat. The pros just cant do anything wrong, I guess. you cant even complain about them because the riot employees take care of them even though they're not comming.

we need more reddit anger, not vlr. they always take the reddit anger seriously. but this is seriously one of the worst UI changes in recent times. This is a change which the devs submitted to show they're working on something so they get paid and look like they're busy. this is a scam update due to their no replay or any other gameplay changes. Since they cant do shit on the other important ones, they think adding new bullshit is the way to cover up the fact that they havent gotten a replay system in 2 years. If you're gonna push bullshit UI changes that are distracting, just give us a toggle option so your "busy working" update can be switched off, you fuckin idiots.

chichoo is a monster

they need to include toggle options for most of this stuff rather than completely removing or adding some stuff.

cned for vandal days, dot for phantom

the breeze map still hypes me up when aspas goes god mode in the last 5 rounds + OT

? both the playerbase and viewerbase increased as seen from the mickey mouse tourney in LOCKIN//. it will only grow with masters/champs. Top NA/EU franchised matches are already beating past year's masters and champs.

stop defending her from critique just because she's a female

they sub out bcj? especially their best player who was on form today? wtf

this

dude, bcj was popping off today and they sub him out?

potter is awful.

they are getting out-aimed. its that simple.

its a bit sad, they expected valorant to die and they could retire but it didnt and LOUD are looking as strong as the previous roster with 2 youngsters.

it used to be a big deal when we didnt have english speaking schools but now, they dont care much about it. They only care if you get a proper job now.

I really like fennel's valo team too. I enjoy watching fennel and scarz in the JP splits.

this. CR would roll some of these franchised teams

the role issues lead to troll comps like this. They were great at LOCKIN//

I definitely think the trolling is from role issues which they didnt have during LOCKIN//

you do have to remember, nAts destroyed pre-nerf jett with cypher setups. same thing with dapr cypher. But I also agree the current level of play is very high and less won champions by being one of the best player in the final. So, they're all good in their own right imo. Cant compare eras like that.

garnettS is not inconsistent, he's been "inconsistent" since pati keeps occupying the same space as garnetts does which throws him off.

remove patiphan pls

agreed

I prefer going 0-3 with indian players than going 0-3 with international players.
