You can't just be banned for chat out of the blue, you get warnings first, then restrictions and than a time limited ban, you can't be banned from competitive out of the blue because of chat.

"First, a player will receive a warning about their report in effort to encourage the offense to not happen again. Then, the player will receive queue restrictions. This makes them unable to queue for a certain time. Experience point denial is the next step. With this, the player will not receive the full amount of XP for a game. Next, Valorant will ban them from the competitive queue. Finally, the player will be entirely banned from the game for an undisclosed amount of time."

In my opinion s1mple has beeen hacking for years in the CS scene, the dude has stats noone ever had in the game, not even close, he was already banned twice, from ESL and a VAC ban, his crosshair has a mechanical and suspicious shake when he shoots and he has always been a toxic person with a untrhustworthy personality and character. The thing is, people are just too scared to acuse "the best player of all time".

Today I read the news that he got banned in valorant, and again he states that he didn't cheat, even after getting banned:

Riot is a good company, but they are money grabbers. Blocking lol champions for money, blocking Val agents for money, trading skins would mean they would lose a lot of money when lauching new skins, so they won't ever do that.

I don't wanna be a hater, but the two girls are always bottom fragging... by far...

He left the team. lol

The post owner: "Trying to watch more teams outside of NA/EU so send me some recommendations"

People replying: "SENTINELS", "FPX", "HERECTICS", "ENVYUS", "100T"....

Dude...

No, but they could upset them, it's not impossible, they could have a very good match. Futbolist already played a top EU team a while ago and the lost by a small margin, I remember that it was a very good match and balanced match.

I want to see Furia, VKS and Gamelanders against EU/CIS/KOR/NA competition.

Ok, he is saying teams outisde of EU/NA, are you guys retarded? Watch Gamelanders, VKS and FURIA from brazil, they are insane, also Forze and Gambit from CIS, Futbolist and BBB from Turkey, Absolut Jupter, Crazy Raccoon, Vision Strikers.

I would add Gambit as well, maybe futbolist to this list.

Pretty sure he will be main jett for 100T

You will play according to your team, in an EU dream team case you have to have them both, so 2 duelists is the best way.

he has been playing Jett on stream lately, pretty sure they will move him to Jett, nitr0 back to smokes and Ethan to secondary duelist.

Don't like it, you didn't even put scream on the line up... C'mon man...

This is the answer you are looking for.

Kyk was an important part I guess...

Probably around 5~10k a month for tier 1, while the best players should make it close to 20k ~25k.

Tier 2 players may get around 3~5k.

This guy is the most biased hater I've ever seen. Even worse than that greek Hekzy something dude... C'mon man, at least come up with some real facts.

s0m is the best omen player in NA right now, the dude is destroying with omen, it would be a pitty to change his role.

He is...

Every team needs a support player to die for the duelists or to anchor and just stay alive smoking for them, Zombs is also great at clutches.

Idk if it's possibile, but try to give armor to the bots.

Yeah, maybe not dragging you down in numbers, but mentally. Focus on improving your movement and peeking. Do the spike defuse training in game, on hard mode, you will get better very fast. Thrust me.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=El7Lewppqvs&ab_channel=Vancade

This training.

Maybe try the training where the bots stay still in the angles and you have to kill them all on hard mode, when you finish this multiple times a day you will be playing very well, cause it's hard.

You probably float a lot. Learn how to peek and clear angles and how to move, those are the most important things noobs don't actually do well. Sometimes a bad player can actually aim pretty well, but the movement is really bad.

Also, your friends that always pick duelists maybe dragging you down, create another acount to play for fun with your friends, and use your main acount to play seriously for yourself, and take every game very seriously and always with a positive mindset for you and for your teamates, a negative mindset may tilt your team and make you lose, don't complain to them, just give information and pep talks.

With this tips you will improve 100%. I played with friends and was Platinum, started to focus of myself, started playign with people who reeally wanted to improve and people who wouldn't mock each other the whole game and got Immortal rank, created another acount to play with my friends.

Follow these tips and you will get better fast.

No, the best of the best won't till he can't stay at the old game anymore. Why would he change games if he is the best at the one he plays? Makes no sense... Yet dev1ce himself said he could move to valorant in the future.

Prize pools brings big orgs with big salaries, little by little the players will start to move when Valorant gets bigger and CS smaller, and with time the better players will start to switch too, until the best of the best are left with no competition, no big orgs, and no big tournaments and have to switch too.

Yes, I said "avarage" between the best teams. He is not the best of the best like TenZ, Sick, crashies, babybay, food, corey, etc.

Also, they hardware ban the hackers, not just account ban.

nitr0 is an avarage player in Valorant, people are already saying that Sentinels will pay over a million dollars for TenZ.... Using nitr0 as an avarage player for comparison, this in fact elevated she salaries of the whole game, now he is a parameter, if a player better than him comes up, people will have to pay him more...

You think not? Would you play a game that had no prize pools for winning competitions? Or would prefere playing a game that gives more than 1 million dollars every time you win?

The players prefer, the organizations prefer, big prize pools brings big sponsors, big orgs, big players and big events.

Why don't riot devs make the shields to be additive to the amount of shield you were left from the previous round? I mean, if you end the round with 26 shield you have to spent another 1000 to go to 50, why can't you just by the 500 credit 25 shied to fill up to full?

I've always questioned it.

And yes, the prize pool is relevant. CSGO prize pools can get too over 1 million that atracts players, but Valorant tournaments didn't even come close to that yet, soon they will surpass it by a big margin and we will have a great migration from pros.

I Watch dota 2, it's got nothing to do with valorant two very different games, the discussion is between CS and Valorant. Ok, you are comparing the salary of an avarage Valorant player with 15k earnings with the most acomplished team of all time in CSGO, congratz.

His numbers are lies, you can't even come close to believe that a game that has a 350k+ concurrent viewership on twitch only has 500k players around the world, you must be mental to actually believe such a thing.

+yay inc

Not more than Valorant players are being paid in NA, as nitr0 has a 200k+ salary a year, maybe starts like s1mple are paid more, but that's it. When Riot makes it first "Champions" tournament in the end of the year with more than 10 million prize pool I will watch and laugh as all the CSGO pro players changes games.

LIES, LIES AND LIES... How are 500k people a small number while CS's streamcharts has 900K from ALL OVER THE WORLD? If EU has 500k alone, Valorant has 2 million players.

Also, Immortals and Radiants are not 4%, they are at most 3%, but probably 2% of the population. If we get those numbers YOU are coming up with correctly, Valorant playerbase could be 4 million.

Next time, give us your information with the source you found it, cause I don't believe you, nor in your numbers.

Agreed.

Masters finals got over 45k, what are you talking about? Are you really giving voice to this Hekzy guys? He tries so hard over here to make valorant seem irrelevant while licking CSGO's balls all the time. Just look at this dude's history in this forum and you will see that everything he says are lies to try and elevate CSGO. Pitiful.

I don't think so. We will have to see.

We will soon have 16 agents to choose from. It's time for not allowing the same agent to be picked by both teams.

If a team picks Jett, the other still has Raze to pick.

If a team picks Phoenix, the other still has Reyna or Yoru to pick.

If a team picks Cypher, the other still has Killjoy or Sage to pick.

If a team picks Sova, the other still has Breach or Skye to pick.

If a team picks Omen, the other still has Astra or Brim or Viper to pick.

And soon we will have a new agent! It's enough to make the teams have to decide and to give actual value to the picking fase.

What do you guys think?

This dude is impressive.

TenZ
Shot_UP
aproto
crashies
subroza

That's by far the best line up by far, you can maybe argue about Shot_Up instead of Android or Sick. The rest is definitive.
