a great question and one im sure kaplan should answer
if you want to include mada in that list you can the only reason i didnt is because functionally he plays a different role for his team as their win conditions were brawk, skuba and s0m (now keiko)
by his own admission that kc team was built around him though....
i understand having to adjust to play tejo, sova, breach, skye and whatever else init bullshit but duelist was and is his bread and butter that is what he came up on its his most natural role
you dont just forget that because you had to play initiators its not how that works its like riding a bike or learning a language
he started his career as a duelist and on kc got what he wanted in stage 2 with the team being built around him as a duelist
im not buying that he needs an adjustment period from him or the coaches
genuinely watch their matches and listen to their listen ins and it will be obvious to you
not sure what more you want me to tell you it was a pattern of behaviour all of last year that was harmful and never stopped and it has continued into this year
i'll see if i can find the clip but there is a point where the camera is on them after just winning a map where n4rrate is complaining and cortezia literally has to tell him "we won the map" although its not totally audible
do you seriously think they are both a downgrade on n4rrate
even if output wise they end up being functionally the same i wont have to worry about my team imploding halfway through a match
no but team morale makes such a big difference when you are spending every day together
zellsis spent half of the matches last year playing daddy day care ffs
the thing that annoys me is that this is SEASON TWO with n4rrate
kaplan has literally seen all of the issues but thinks of him as an "I can fix him" type player
everytime ive said something about n4rrate it gets ridiculously downfragged
probably nightzz once he is old enough
or if they tried to get any of the duelists i said were better than him in the off season (excluding ones theyd never be able to get)
i would be fine with them getting alym although he looks very raw atm just in the knowledge he wont have the same mental issues alone
or in t2
ion or cane
everyone on this website loves the guy and thinks hes the best player ever so just explain to me why he is and what im missing
~ worse than half of the duelists in americas
(timotino
oxy
dgzin
sato
zekken
aspas
jawgemo)
~miserable teammate
~clogs comms
~overheats
~whines and moans
~mental issues
~will bait even when it makes no sense
~countercalls his team often
this is all to say despite this i still can see his value: he can pop up with a clutch and has good mechanics, on raze and jett he looks very comfortable, he can take timings and fights and he IS A GOOD PLAYER
but a good player belongs on a team like eg or c9 not a team that going by what rob himself has said "aims to win championships"
the team synergy issues really put me off him because he is one of the only players i have seen in americas constantly bog his team down with tilts and bad vibes and not justify it with crazy skill
there are so many crazy duelist talents in t2 now i dont understand what he offers that these new talents cannot provide and improve on with more to offer
why does fake flare even matter in this esport when more than half of the fans are bandwagon anyway like if a team is shit they will just stop supporting them lol
unironically which is why he is an eu player stuck in na
well im not saying he didnt play badly but the best of bang last year was when he solo anchored on defence and would be able to shut attacks down which 100T just did not have him do enough
LMAOOOOO i never even noticed that rob looks like hes taking his kids to see mcr
sen cut bang because his playstyle didnt suit the teams playstyle so 100T saw that and picked him up just to.... not play in a way that suits him 💀💀💀
asuna has to be the biggest ponzi in valorant we are year 5 into his career still working out "a role that fits for him" ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
he has 1 million glazers on this site but deep down everyone knows he is still living off his kc days
they actually are there's not any reasonable cope for losing to a pug team in the way they did
i just dont see what everyone else sees in n4rrate every listen in he is complaining and arguing with his team
perhaps it seems that way but its not if you've actually been watching their games
hahahahha i thought he was just streaming with jp language on his val client but no the guy is irling in JP
yea this team is fucking cooked have they even practiced at all
It's not pity
McQueen sees Strip and is reminded of how Doc's career ended and how it haunted him for the rest of his life - going as far as to moving to a remote rural town and forsaking racing
Much like you Strip is at first confused and asks him why on earth he would give up the glory and his response is "it's just an empty cup"
Lightning is a peak motorsport athlete like you say except his journey is realising that there are things more important in life than just racing.
He doesn't want Strip to be ridden with regret and shame - and thanks to lightning helping him finish the race he isn't
Chick Hicks wins the Piston Cup so he should be the most fulfilled of all the characters right? He reached the peak? Yet his victory is hollow and meaningless because he used dirty tricks and had no principles. Yes results are important in Sports but integrity, sportsmanship and the journey matter just as much as the result, all things that Lightning epitomises by the end of the film.
because he was living a fake miserable life with no one who really cared about him and the friends he made were more important to him than winning, as a result this changed mcqueens mindset into becoming more sentimental and caring toward others. That mindset change is what inspires him to give up the win to make sure Strip finishes his last race. Obviously there are many ways he could have achieved this but giving up his win right at the finish line for something seemingly unimportant is the symbolic gesture of lightnings character arc especially when you consider it would have been easier to finish the race and THEN help Strip

they always run a clean feed
its the sen ceo if anyone is going to have cope logic about his team and the other teams it will be the team owners
you cant seriously expect him to never put a pro-sen spin on everything
cryo has been oping the whole series and not just that he has been shitting on them with it too
it gets to a point where its inexcusable
this guy is special
rushes to peak an op in post plant twice and loses his team the round both times
"how can i make this about prx"
is 4 even enough?
i think cause its bigger region with more countries they should have 5
"flor would've covered the skill gaps of the others"
come on man i was replying to a guy who was making a very specific point about the quality of the rest of the players and then you move the goalposts
no one is saying flor wasnt the best player on that team we know she took over games and was more impactful i never tried to make out she wasnt
next time think a little more and read a little more before dropping some bullshit in here
why did liquid even bother to have a brazilian gc team and an emea franchise team like do tier 1 liquid fans care about gc and do the gc fans care about the franchise team
t1 have meteor they aren't going to get yay
well its a good job thats not what i said LOL
not saying she wasnt insane cause she was but its just not true
srg were strong before flor (c9) and they are still strong after her (today)
look at the '23 gf people tell u wouldve lost without flor
yes she carried on map 1 but the other two maps srg won she wasnt even their best player
its a nasty narrative and undermines the work the other 4 have been doing all this time
nah i dont think so and its disingenuous to make out that srg were only successful because they were carried by flor in the past
dodo was the best on srg today the others looked shaky its just a team diff
daiki has been grinding so long so happy for her deserved just feels a bit sour they cut bstrdd
i think shes just a bit frazzled its map 5 and her decision making has been a bit shaky
