because tik-tok culture has killed people's brain capacity for long-form content and to wait for at least a few maps before jumping to conclusions

map 1, first half, edg players clearly a bit shaky.

community: it's over, worst champs ever, wtf is this shit, gg

if edg win the next map, it'll be: omg what a champs, so hype, great game

this is why china bans tik-tok. america and europe are cooked if this is our youth.

when EG and FNC were the only good teams in the entire league? yet you act ike any of those trophies meant something.

EG won 3-1 against PRX at champs yet nobody called it a bad finals. FNC won 3-0 against EG yet nobody called masters Tokyo a bad finals.

stop the bias

they hear it through each other's mic because the mic gets activated if the noise is loud enough

it's 4 million impressions, but you can estimate like 10% of that is live viewership, so maybe 400,000? if the twitch val channel is 100,000 it seems plausible.

Because they have goated editors. APAC production last year especially was amazing with edits for regular season.

anybody who seriously thinks this hasn't been watching EDG games. nobody has been calling well and they've been shooting. you don't win against FUT, almost G2, PRX, TE, SEN and LEV on a fluke run.

that's good, i want to see this tested: https://www.vlr.gg/397047/when-do-you-think-we-will-see-a-coed-vct-team

if the GC players all get diffed it will settle the co-ed debate for now

as opposed to who?

TH is a flashy team, EDG is a hype team. both have a roster of shooters and good calls.

recency bias, the last thing people remember is SEN annihilating them and then we've had a lot of big games during play-offs. realistically GenG had the highest high being the best team for most of the year

Schizophrenia usually involves delusions (false beliefs), hallucinations (seeing or hearing things that don't exist), unusual physical behavior, and disorganized thinking and speech. It is common for people with schizophrenia to have paranoid thoughts or hear voices.

true, like others are saying they need to prove themselves outside of GC first but the catch is they still need to be scouted against ranked demons even for t2. it will take a female player who can compete with someone like sayonara.

posted 10 months ago

yeah that's the biggest barrier, for every mechanical female player there are 9/10 male players that are better. and probably no female player can clutch like benjy and op like KangKang in the most competitive league. however, would they do much worse than some players on teams like KOI?

i think the first female pro in vct would be picked up partly for clout since they would be the first to try.

posted 10 months ago

i said only a couple for a reason, very few of the female talent could actually hold their weight in vct but those few would do okay imo.

posted 10 months ago

i think you could realistically slot a couple of the top female val players into a few vct teams and those teams would still be fairly competitive. problem is an org would need a good reason to try a coed team when they have a pool of young male players with 1ms reaction time to pick from.

i was rewatching TH and FUT vs female G2 and the raw mechanical skill was the biggest difference, util usage was fairly even. only Petra could keep up but if she were with a male team like TL she would not look out of place tbh.

the game is just not popular enough. people can talk all day about valorant has many fans from all over the world but that does not mean much if they do not watch the pro games.

posted 10 months ago

valorant is not profitable enough to warrant TOs wanting that responsibility to begin with. riot loses money hosting events and is only able to make it back through skins. crowd and viewership are too inconsistent to rely on. meanwhile CS is very profitable so hosting is not as much of a financial burden.

posted 10 months ago

if only GC was more competitive/entertaining this break would not feel so bad. how do they expect us to go from watching players like KangKang, TenZ and aspas to watching tier-3 gameplay.

posted 10 months ago

i am guessing this has something to do with the upper bracket advantage; playing less maps to get into the grand final is like a reward for staying in the top bracket.

making it a bo5 could also mean that the lower final is biased towards the lower bracket team since they would be fresh from a bo3 and have more info on the upper team. plus if the upper team won in the lower final they would be playing three b05s in a row.
