350 hours, Silver 1. I play for a couple hours almost everyday. No excuses like others have here, Silver is my ceiling, I feel. On good days, my lobby thinks I'm smurfing, On bad days, I mid-table. I dont top frag often. Mains are cypher and sova.

ah fair enough, then

Ran this thread through google translate. Although, I dont propose the hate sacy and pancada are getting. I personally will always support teams/orgs from my own country. It is not because I dont prefer other countries. but it is because I personally will be more invested and passionate about it's progress. Even I would "follow" skrossi if he went to an NA or EU tier 1/2 team but I wouldn't be as passionate about his achievements while I would be passionate if he achieved them with an indian org.

Another point I would like to add is, LOUD have achieved the peak of valorant pro scene. and they did it with BR players and BR org, BR coach etc. if they had quit without achieving anything, some criticism would've been justified but they made BR valo scene proud with champs. period. So, their passion would've decreased due to achieving this peak, they thought they would've gotten lazy in LOUD (happens very often in pro scene when they win big). So, they wanted new challenges.

I just wanted to point out both sides. cheers.

the only reason the guy's apologizing now is because he's about to be cut, not to improve.

replace women with "women", the team gets stronger, and pub stomps other actual women teams.
I wonder why indeed. surely there needs to be a rule in sports to have proper biological difference rather than letting anyone who identifies as a helicopter to step in XD

not just updated but the format is unreadable, follow hltv's format with tables and stuff, very easy to follow any updates

The guy loses once and absolutely flips out talking about cheating, chess community, etc. XD

remove "americas" from this blogpost, you biased fk and give credit to brazil. they earned it. not "americas"

ggs loud caralhoooo

LESGOOOOO

acend v gambit and prx vs fpx in terms of contrasting styles going to 5 maps is a classic too. this is not yet on that level.

Agreed. when two teams are equal, they keep canceling out each other's strats in real-time. similar to 0-0 or 1-1 between top teams in footy during finals while still being exciting.

3 get killed from behind in a 2v3? are LOUD high?

looking like a optic 3-0 ngl

VAMOS

correct

no idea why doug and ballsack keep casting pro valorant. I hope they dont cast both the lower and upper grand finals. dont think I can take it

sheeeesh

less's KJ was so good today on this map. shutdown any lurkers.

people say his midrounding is good, but all I see are "one man flank after we commit" and loud shut them down hard by lurking even later.

xset was always right in their complaints against optic on tech pauses. they always do it when they're out of timeouts. they'll still use it but during elimination games.

they're throwing again

yup

loud cant help but get flanked by optic. they will never learn

I like the script for loud. they will not win champions until they beat optic and do it consistently. optic is their demon. If they beat them, I think they will win it all. you cant be a champion without beating your best opponent. it works out.

when teams are equal, you get close matches and reads cancelling each of them out.

anyone thinking the turret shooting heaven didnt affect the crossfire by xset, is lying to themselves. that single turret shot took out 1 player on site watching heaven while the guy on main got smoked off so it was 1v2 3 times for FPX and they'll win those 1v2 duels all the time

ever since boaster didnt trust enzo on bind against leviathan. the chemistry has been off.

XD

order's strats are bretty gud, imo. if you work on mechanics, you won't get aim-diffed. you should do well next year fren

this is the big leagues where aim-diff doesnt work and you actually have to mid-round .

you dont need to justify home crowd support, brev. ignore the sensitive fans. I can guarantee you NA fans (as well as other regions) would do the same, especially in esports. majority enjoys the spice and shit talking, or the game wouldn't grow without it.

anyone saying split hasn't played enough ranked games in split. pearl is much better in balance. although pearl has better design, I will say that viewing split is better than pearl but I've enjoyed all pro pearl games in champs so it evens out I guess

very much needed

liked him before he joined an org. for some reason, he's hyper critical now compared to previous when he focused on positives from all regions.

aged well

that's the rito script

easily the best tourney in terms of quality and entertainment. the crowd when they got to 12-12 was insane

its not looking gud for you, brev

very good ranking tbh

what a banger

XD

you might have something there. LAN stage pressure is completely different. it doesnt matter what trophy it is, if you're playing in a room the pressure doesnt affect you. this is the 100T showing their inexperience on handling LAN nerves

not looking good for 100t brev

ignore the NA trolls. jamppi has carried them through LCQ and now doing the same in champs. scream gets flicks but jamppi is the one clutching most often than not winning rounds.

a choke of infinite proportions. they seem really off this tourney, and EU teams are very good at trading kills. this is very important because its generally 1 player from PRX going into ratty positions due to pushing quickly and getting 2-3 kills. but, when teams have good crossfires they struggle hard.

there's a study on how teams wearing red are more successful compared to teams wearing less aggressive colors. the same applies here, I guess

everytime benkai wears glittery stuff on face, his team gets rolled. girly stuff doesnt really work subconsciously when you're an aggressive team. it also forces the opponents to take more risks.

cant see PRX winning. TL seem insane at defaults and crossfire
