nvm artzin popped off in the end

although true, I feel like bartin is actually winning his 1v1s more than artzin.

doesnt look like it, only adverso and bartin are shooting back

if ODK win pistol, its gonna get froggy like ascent

thanks, greek fren

good luck m8

I watch every region and most of the teams, I dont care about all that.

insane game but im mostly hyped for the 00nation game so this was a pleasnant surprise.

fragging IGL is the meta

these pros and content creators troll in their high elo games too. but you just cant do it against them. they can do it since they have YT and tiktok content to share but you cant troll or they'll send their little dogs to harass you over social media.

if women's teams followed such strict criteria, you wouldn't be able to do what you do. so think a bit before you start gatekeeping. you got in because there was no gatekeeping.

I trust tarik more than zekken on this. The idea to start procity, the invitationals, the lil bro cup were all successes in their own way to make valorant more "fun" but keeping it competitive. zekken doesnt realize what makes a game popular or virality of FPS scene, tarik knows it. I dont care if tarik botfrags every game he plays, the idea itself cleaned up a lot of throwing in NA radiant ranked. it also worked out that crypto throwing is not as feasible since there's no use in throwing pro-players' or content-creators' games anymore so people are playing the game normally.

Watched sinatraa/shanks and some others playing ranked, it was decent enough and no fuckery these past few days. Tarik even outright contradicted zekken's tweet, which is correct. he wants NA as a whole to improve, that's how it improves. Looking at it the other way, you can think of it as these people thinking they're better than ranked "common people" and they are above them so instead of indulging with common people, they make their own society with their own rules. But, at the end of the day, as someone who watches, I dont care about that. I just want to watch a proper valo match instead of too many throwers which has increased the past act.

Some other interesting things I found is that there are players who seem to have bad blood against other pros like subroza who doesnt want to play procity games, since faze shanks is his duo, he also isnt playing it. but he talks about playing in it. quite sad. marved is depressed since optic disbanded and doesnt want to sweat so he's also not playing procity. I can keep going about little stuff like this but you get the idea.

Either way, I think valorant overall is healing since the chamber nerf, the basic changes to abilities defeating other abilities but not ults and need ults to destroy other ults, the ally util not damaging each other, just consistency wise, they're doing a great job, no duelist kayos, no duelist sages etc.

cheers

I'm glad the top teams are scrimming with DSG. cloud 9 might not go far but it will help DSG immensely to come out of that bloodfest that is challengers to get to LCQ.

WIDEPEEPOHAPPY

both teams throwing

cries about chamber
chamber gets nerfed and no one plays him anymore
doesnt compete to get into pro scene
everyone's like ???

choked his chance

the comments are brutal but honest. no one respects him now, everyone was following these challengers and in a non-chamber meta. choked his chance imo.

dude, I watch him and somewhat thought he would make it when chamber got nerfed. there were cyphers and KJs everywhere man. almost every ranked radiant demon in NA made a team to compete. Most pros respect those ranked demons now while babyj lost respect, Im sure.

The setting was perfect for him to get into the pro scene, he could've got into squirtle squad/the nation if he tried but he didnt and said he was too good for tier 2. Even most pros around the world are watching these challengers doing watch parties, you think coaches arent watching? what a fumble, man.

cant go wrong with either raze or jett

franchised teams to teams which got into challengers along with players who were contracted to a pro team in the past 2 years

ironically babyj is the worst tilter even in a pro setting. he's also the weak point in his teams leading them to lose matches. its insane how much you get punished for bad plays at a pro level, one ego peek and all your team gets destroyed. he was so bad yesterday complaining about stewie, M80 guys, shazam that they're running it down, when they're not really.

listen to this, iceland fren

YT has a good amount of channels which has VODs, just search.

There's also community valorant tourneys in many universities with decent amount of money to winners. No idea why this clicked and CSGO didnt but I'll take it.

I agree, sentinels, guard, NRG, GE didnt do shit but got in purely through clout. This is also why I dont mind the single elimination for these unqualified fucks. they deserve the punishment

almost choked the lead again, OR needs to learn to end matches.

any language which has written text/sound (mandarin/japanese/russian/arabic). I can somewhat manage japanese, thinking of checking out mandarin/arabic next.

you're mostly cool but ive stopped talking to trans people and bretty sure many did because they couldnt argue with trans people about anything without getting banned/muted for months. so its a perpetual cycle where over protection of your kind turns people away from trans people.

most trans do it on most social media. they're very insecure. no amount of moderation will help their kind likable to people.

ironically third-world countries are more in-tune with reality than "developed" nations.

biologically male.

I still think, you should only be allowed into women's tournments if you actually cut your dick off. until then its just not serious imo, as we've already seen happen in gamechangers.

banger either way

0-13 oof

I still cant believe he didnt get into challengers when chamber got nerfed the fuck out. what a fumble, man

cries about opportunities
actually a decent high level cypher/KJ player
by miracle, chamber gets nerfed to the ground
all the ranked demons make teams and get into tier 2 teams
pros now respect most of the ranked demons for trying out the challengers
this whining egotist is better than half the ranked demons
says he's too good for tier 2
in a cypher/KJ meta where no chamber was found
tarik says he shouldve played
zekken outright puts him down saying you can always stream but these tournaments and meta will not be there always
im pretty sure most pros now dont respect him because of him not going to challengers/cowardly
still keeps saying that he's protecting his brand

what brand exactly is he protecting or amplifying?

yeah any pro player can queue in and if there's 10 players, teams are chosen with first 2 being leaders(?) i think. then maps are banned/chosen all the way until one is remaining which they play. at the moment, two queues can be run simultaneously.

maybe tarik's clout is pulling them but this is insane how many people are in it and queuing already. like SR, EG, SEN squad, dark ratio, TSM guys have already been playing in it.

tbh the other 4 werent vibing with flor too.

This is slightly different. neT and leaf's 10 mans is word of mouth messaging everyone through valorant chat/discord to come to the party. This is independent to the player to queue.

check tarik's stream, its fkn insane. all the pro players (starters/players till challengers' teams) are in it and they queue. The queue is first come first serve to any player.

Its already interesting how competitive it is. it's sweaty af.

even tarik said, you should've played and zekken said, you can always stream but the pro events are limited so he shouldnt waste his time. Also, this was the perfect time to get in since chamber got nerfed to the ground and there are cyphers/KJs everywhere.

What a choke by the guy.

OR choked hard

guy gives "HIS OPINION" which itself means personal bias will play a role and he does give reasoning from HIS perspective. what's the use of assuming stuff AFTER the tournament happens or first elimination starts? there's just analysis after, no assumption or prediction. you can just close the discussion if you cant add much.
