why do you reckon that’s the case?

seem so large for Valorant in comparison to basically every other FPS game? I could see why the graphics for stuff like CS or COD could be potentially unappealing, but it just doesn’t make sense to me why Valorant would generate more buzz than a game like Overwatch for example

Is it just a reflection on its times (ie. more interest in girls to play video games due to the changing culture?) or an anomaly?

joining the sweepstakes

I know EDG vs PRX W gaming is scripted and everything but cmon riot you’re making this wayyyy too obvious

jawgemo just had one of the cleanest sheriff clutches in a while ive seen enough

actually a dope idea- I always thought it was an absolutely waste of money to run any more than 6 or 7 on a team but it really could be a reason why their util is so polished

it’s crazy how much better the aim has gotten from a lot of these EG players over the last couple of months

surely not… that would mean every decent team who sorta out roles can be like a top 4 international team

is this the real EG or a hot streak do you reckon?

Please some VLR analyst help me

they were so mid to start the season

Fam he hasn’t played Cypher a single time this whole year 💀💀 and I’m sure he doesn’t want to have to lurk on Viper but he has to because of the double controller meta and NRG has no one else

I’m not telling FNS what to do 💀💀 it’s common knowledge that it’s preferable for IGLs to call with the pack

it’s not great for IGLs to lurk- they can’t make calls on rotations/reacting to enemy util and stuff

uninformed take

it would be great if they had a proper lurker like they did with Marved last year

som doesn’t really play the traditional lurk controllers (Astra/Viper), Victor is an entry who is being put on KJ, FNS and crashies obviously need to play with the pack and you can’t have your duelist just chilling on a late flank

completely agreed, their play style are super different as controllers just how crisp his aim is and his crosshair placement reminded me of Marved a lot

not sure if he’s there yet, we need to have a conversation

he’s probably playing at around the same level as Marved did for Optic last year

#27 repeating myself is a pain

It would be fine if he didn’t have a contract or EG took the time to genuinely scout him from obscurity, but he was SCRIMMING with a squad, about to sign a contract and EG plucked him away and basically was a factor that led to DSG’s collapse at the end of the season.

I love the fact that I get to watch Demon1 play on the big stage too, but the EG org was still fucked to poach up and coming talent like that. The ends don’t always justify the means.

I have to write a potter apology letter

goes to show that SEN would’ve made it to masters with the lineup they have now 💪💪 LCQ loading

never before have I seen a group of individuals that have worse mental/performances after a loss.

they destroy soniqs in uppers then lose a series to SS and suddenly they’re all ass individually this is unbelievable

brax and stewie were ridiculously disappointing today, looks they’re not up to the pressure of pro valorant

Look, neither you or I can ask tenz right now if he’s genuinely more “comfortable” on the kayo, though I’d argue that he’s not- considering he’s been on duelist since the beta and likely shifted over to make room for zekken’s agent pool. Either way it doesn’t matter, but what DOES matter is the fact that yes, leaf’s impact got hit dramatically on the viper (ie. he can no longer show off his brilliant early round fragging ability cause it’s too risky), and yes tenz’s kayo is NOT as good as his Jett. It’s not bad, but when you have a top 5 raw talent in the world “not bad” is frankly not good enough.

kayo assists are stupid: every suppression from knife and ult gives one you can’t use it as an impact metric when the average for kayo users should be around 15 anyways

it’s not about whether he’s “good” on that agent, ofc he’s going to frag decently with the skill calibre he’s has, I’m saying the impact he can achieve on kayo (a supportive agent) is fair less than other agents

ok yeah don’t make assumptions then about how long he’s played the damn agent for

if you have been WATCHING tenz and LISTENING to him talk on-stream you would know that he has been experimenting with using Kay/O for a long time (since mid-November with the team shakeups). And it’s not about mastery of an agent, it’s about roles and in a best case scenario what that particular agent can do for you.

take that SEN flair off if ur not a real fan

TenZ on the Kayo is frankly ridiculous. He really excelled on the first rendition of Sentinels as a hard entry/get-first-kill kinda guy (a role that’s now being filled by Zekken so there are issues there). How can you possibly say you’re “building” around a player and then chuck him onto an agent which is frankly a support and not allow him the freedom to play what he’s most comfortable with

omg Happy is coaching valorant? he’s such a legend I’m glad he’s doing well
