G2 made top 3 at a master's event in their first year after ascending; right now 2G look some distance away from qualifying to the playoffs to try to even qualify for a master's event. If they drop back to Ascension, it's because they didn't perform at a tier 1 level when given the chance.

In a world that clearly continues marginalizing people, ignoring marginalizing in favor of seeing everyone "equally" is stupid.

they are decidedly NOT the same

slow down mate, I'm not defending mooda at all. Don't care about the drama, just wanna make sure people know the correct definition of dick riding

that's more "rent-free", dick riding would mean they are glazing mooda which OP is not

@ThinkingMansValorant how many gifted to watch this one on stream??

I don't know the context from today, but he often says that teams lack "object permanence" when they forget where an opponent was seen. Not sure if it's related

I'm pretty sure he did hire an aim coach, probably to account for the drop in crosshair focus while he IGLs. Aim practice makes up for it

Watch TMV or Sliggy or Woohoojin

NootNoot

Personally I think he can be too forgiving, although we did see him crack when KC was at their lowest. I think it's fine to criticize pro players when they make a bad play or overheat. Obviously I hate when chat or streamers make blanket statements about a player or team like "FNS can't aim lul" or whatever

He can use "trolling" or "throwing" but I think it's good to have decent expectations of pro players whose full-time job is to learn how to play smarter and better. And he does great analysis while also being excited

OMG what are the powerball numbers?

ranked stats?? lol

team liquid diarrhea

Top 5 NA?? Sentinels aren't even top 10 NA.

I actually think that's the reason they are not playing with Derke. They've probably prepped for NIP with H1ber so it would actually be harder to integrate Derke into their counterstrats.
