banger match either way

although the copypasta is good, I want to add that I personally love the LOCK// single elim for franchised teams. Its not fair that challengers teams and ascension teams get fucked while teams get franchised even though they didn't perform well (sentinels, BBL, GE, etc). since the franchising is not on merit, the single elim forces them to be good from the start so the punishment seems deserved imo of playing 1 and reaching the airport.

this is a good point, they were ahead in the decider map against break thru, same with dark ratio, then same with squirtle squad (8-11 ahead) until wardell started AWPing, got demolished today once and for all. they never really deserved it if you cant hold onto leads.

performs every other series and doesn't play well in the last one which most were watching. so, he will be remembered for this. hope he bounces back, his last tweet also seems doomerish.

never really felt she was comfortable with him whenever they duo together. he loves her more than she loves him.

add3r got #1 NA a couple acts ago. every streamer/pro who plays with/against him say he's cracked out of his mind

one more thing is, he stopped playing jett in ranked, he went chamber for 2 whole acts and got good at it thinking some team would pick him up. BUT, chamber got nerfed to the ground so his grind got useless and by the time he came back to jett, it was too late

the only reason everyone else were quickly dying after wardell dies is because he's going out of position where the others cant take trades, so they're either stuck or push to take trades (doesnt work because squirtle squad trades are immaculate). He also lost them so many rounds when he started OPing on sage defense, same here now. if he had a rifle in the last 3 rounds TN take this easy.

they threw hard man and ironically they started losing when wardell started OPing. funny how that works out

everyone popped off in the last 2 maps

bonecold is cracked, gonna be tough lads

funnily enough, both teams have insane aimers so it all comes down to strats.

you're right. I dont know why he has to simp so much tho, he has the looks so does he still struggle with women?

I think they should keep running the double duelist comp. when you're good at something and even better than most teams at it, why not do it? why try to follow the "meta" per se when that meta isnt working for you. I think they really excelled in taking trades, the rotations, on defense while their attack looked unbeatable. They have something cooking with the double duelist, I hope they try it in actual tourneys too.

unironically tarik, he has the right amount of self-awareness and skill with content creator mind to keep the stream entertaining. he gets real nerdy and genuinely likes the game unlike most valorant streamers who keep saying they hate it. also sean gares cypher streams are underrated. also ploo for sova streams and prod if I want to watch some crazy clips, guys aim is cracked out no matter what people say.

how much time do you think it takes to type up an honest opinion about a streamer?

"proves this thread right"

LMAO

dude he and brax tried hard.

he started a fight where there was none, watch how vlr reacts whenever they lose now. it will be vastly different than before.

I'm pretty sure it applies to valyn more than me since all we do is shitpost here while he took some rare comments to heart. but, they made it polarizing now when vlr usually has a soft spot for them since they are underdogs. so, now they will deal with actual critique and hate.. that's just how internet culture & communities work.

it was a good feeler for the year ngl. The truly sweaty valorant is about to come in with challengers and ascension so its good to have a stakes free tourney for casuals.

funny thing is VLR were among the ones who believed in them during their first run when they went deep. They also arent the teams which are as polarizing as the other tier-2 teams. not sure why valyn thought we were hating or where the hate is coming from but its misplaced. yes, they got shit on when they didnt perform last year but vlr was the least of your problems when you under performed.

TSM came to play. I love good kayos man, its so satisfying to watch those CS type flash peeks

tbh yay and marved went demon mode in masters but when yay went demon mode in champs, no one was there to support him other than crashies, but he was too inconsistent.

he was somewhat likable pre-nerf sova but became really negative and passive aggressive as time went on. guy just became too cringe and political, his streams are a mess now and he's become so bad or poor(?) that his streams were accessible for a week or month but now its locked to subs after a day?

I felt the same whenever I watched his ranked cypher grind twitch streams. reads most of the plays the opponents are doing and what to do. even the ranked demons respect him for some reason. generally they dont respect other IGLs or coaches like chet isnt as revered even though optic won a lot but the ranked demons respect sean gares. if you're wanting to learn the game, watch his twitch streams, you learn so much.

his IGL'ing is also better than dephh

fragging IGL is the meta. even DRX IGL frags and they went deep. its just how it is right now.

he never looked that bad during LCQ too imo. Just needed some more chemistry with other players. whenever shroud and zellsis played together, they looked great because they duo a lot and even scrimmed together in bootcamp.

BBL I agree but koi's team is cracked out of their minds tbh

they carried so many post plants man. the other 3 cant play post-plant for shit.

lmao, good post and title

one common thing is Tenz always frags. it doesnt matter if he's on kayo, raze, chamber, or jett. He's always in the top 2 and it seems zekken is a consistent fragger too irrelevant to the team losing or winning. so it comes down to strats again for sentinels. they have the firepower, they just need some good calls. Improve on that, they should be very good.

japanese too and even APAC. they've been following the valorant scene from the beginning and have a soft spot for sentinels watching them be unbeatable during their master's run.

I have stopped arguing with trans people like flor, grimoir, and a couple more. I always get muted/warned for engaging in discussions with them even though I dont use insults when talking about any topic with their kind. But, they have a direct line to mods so I've stopped talking to them completely.

This game took me back to early 2021. tenz on jett fragging out, split OTs. it was nostalgia.

very tru

its the ratzam fans being unbearable

he never plays well with that mousepad fr

oof

Guard without pressure are world beaters

"surprisingly good team work"
???

wardell wasnt entrying, he was going arcade to spawn while brax and stewie were working top arcade. will was actually first contact during a site hit. while, wardell wasnt first contact in map 2 at all and on map 3 took the less riskier route. razes need to be courageous and go double satchel in, not going to the side while controllers and sentinels are taking first contact.

interesting thing - In all the maps they were up 8-4 after first half. In all the matches, dark nation equalized it around 10-10. to throw that lead all 3 times is enough to show that they never deserved that last qualifying spot.

entrying on raze? are we watching the same game?

horrible performance by wardell. stewie, tigg, and brax tried hard man

he almost threw with the OP round at 11-10 my guy but he did play well. yet brax and stewie saved the last round.

the funny thing is brax and stewie2k are some of the calmest coolest heads in the game. unfortunately they're paired with easiest tilters in wardell and tigg.

wardell is awful man. guy has been underperforming a lot. not to mention TIGG's braindead plays in important rounds.
