CIS players have always been heavy on the modding side of games. Definitely contributes to why Valorant isn't as popular in CIS countries. I swear every community server plugin in CS is made by a cracked 14 yr old russian/ukrainian kid tinkering with the game's files on his potato pc. CS2 doesn't even have any official modding support yet and people have managed to create minecraft in CS2. There are crazy mods that convert CSS into CSGO, CS 1.6 into Valorant, etc and all of these come from the CIS region.

Riot is scared that the community will end up creating dust2 in valorant and expose riot's map designers for making shit ass maps.

But anyway, current valorant community is just comprised of people who are very new to gaming in general/ dont even play other games, doubt most of them even know stuff like this even exists in other games.

I watch Tenz to laugh, I watch Tarik to learn

I mean Microsoft is definitely considering it to some extent due to the crowdstrike incident and also this happened yesterday: https://x.com/tomwarren/status/1834863294730956803

Some replies in the same tweet suggest that Riot is also working to move away from the way Vanguard currently works, so I guess they are aware of it and are considering alternative solutions.

They hyped everyone up about it and mobile version at masters madrid. Neither of the two has been released.

Nah with all this time they are taking to make one, it better be a good one. No half ass clipping software like on the chinese client

What's taking Riot so long to release the replay system? Even Deadlock has got a replay system in its beta phase.

It also set such a high benchmark so early, every song that came after just feels worse.

Don't even need your own money. You can just get the weekly case drops by just playing the game, sell them for money and buy sticker capsules during sale from this money. What's crazy is after the sticker sale ends, the capsules rise in price so you can end up selling them for even more money. Valve has built a fucking infinite money glitch for themselves and the players.

Very possible, given that Lynn Vision players had the most expensive stickers so the Chinese playerbase and skin collectors must have gone wild to buy these. Also the sticker sale ran for like half a year.

Tbf CS sticker sales went from 11M between two majors in 2019 to 110M at a single major in 2023. And the number just keeps getting higher every year.

It depends on what you view as change of strategy, because CS2 new smokes and mollies have changed ways of taking map control and approach of the game, MR12 has changed economy management a bit. Idk if this qualifies as improvement in strategy, but newer ways of throwing certain utility are still being discovered which changes how rest of the team and enemies react to certain situations.

Donk abuses fast CS2 movement and new dynamic player model animations in CS2, which is why peekers advantage fix didn't affect him at all. I think he will initially have a lot of trouble adjusting to gunplay mechanics in valorant, but he is very young and passionate so I think he will eventually play like you would expect him to.

But how? The stickers were mid af compared to previous majors. There's no way anyone's profiting off these now since supply is so high

For me it feels really hard to aim in CS2 sometimes because the player models do not have a fixed movement animation anymore and move way too much dynamically. This + peekers advantage makes it really hard to hold angles in CS2. I've never seen this thing in any other fps game either and I'm pretty sure Valve just added it to flex source 2 engine because it exists in half life alyx as well

If you are on a laptop make sure that both OBS and Valorant are running on dedicated GPU

s0mple has now lost in aim battle to 3 Turkish players

How many hours does this translate to?

My biggest gripe with laptops within this range is that they have terrible combination of hardware here in the models available for sale in India. There are less powerful GPUs paired with much capable CPUs or vice versa, 16gigs ram is not dual channeled, or if you find a laptop that has these balanced then it most likely has garbage thermals or terrible battery life or 60hz screen.

You will still be able to find a good laptop in this range at a good price but it will have hardware of previous generation.

Msi usually offers very good specs on their laptops for a cheap price, however they have very low number of service centers in India. I have a msi gf65 10sdr from 2020, it had very good specs for the price when I bought it, but after buying I realised it had very poor thermals.

Lenovo IdeaPad gaming is overall a very good laptop but has poor battery life

Acer nitro is good, but has heating issues and their 16gb ram variants come with single channeled memory.

Lenovo legion and Asus Rog are simply incredible, but I doubt if you will be able to find them with 144hz screens around 70k

You can use this website to compare and find laptops within your budget.

Have you tried forcing Nvidia GPU through graphics settings in game mode in windows settings?

All this kid does is just hold a gay ass off angle with his deag and one clicks people in the side of the head CT side. Fucking terrbile player tbh.....1.4 sensitivity 400dpi using trashcan. Anyone who uses a low sens does not have the dexterity to properly play FPS games on PC.

All the shitty baiters use a low sens to click people on the back of the head, or they are equally worthless and use the telescope gun and one click people in the body.

I bet this kid doesn't even play FFA Dm's cuz he'd throw his arm out of his socket checking corners. When was the last time you've seen Niko popflash through a smoke, and flick too two people to open up a site??? All this dude does is hold shift and prefire common angles. like wow dude, ur fucking nuts. you can have parkinsons disease and play on 1.4 sens if ur just baiting and clicking heads on common angles.

this is why forest and get right are sick players. they play on higher senitivities, and can do more than bait and off angle one click.

Lmao

That's fucking insane, valve is literally printing money without doing much

THEY RAISED OVER $70M FROM THE LAST TWO MAJORS???

imagine the amount of money sentinels skins will raise after franchising

Ptc has better sound and tracers imo

Reyna is absolutely terrible for clearing corners compared to other duelists

Would've liked snappi on G2 instead of hooxi

They can, but it's not clear, the crowd sound is very muffled

Kyedae and a lot of other costreamers are not streaming cuz some of them are in the arena

Bro just entered the range there

Disable every single graph in video settings
Disable Xbox game bar
Disable Nvidia overlay if you have GeForce experience
Follow this tenz video for some basic optimization https://youtu.be/i-NucOextD4

Yay used to unlucky with his teams and there were simply a lot of better players in csgo. In fact, CSGO had ADS meta as well with Aug and SG being busted before valorant was released

Fr and this is so much enjoyable to watch as well

I'm not sure, but some of these screens show different stuff during down time to engage with crowds. For example, the claps in the crowds in esports events are synchronised with the help of one of these screens

Bad performances do require criticism tho, especially when people have high expectations. Even booster heavily criticized derke in interview for not performing upto expectations.

Optic players are really fucking good at getting trades, is there a stat for this anywhere?

Surely a popular streamer who has played tournaments in person in front of crowds has wrong opinions compared to a vlr forum user

Bro Tarik legit compared it to silent golf crowds, the casters aren't helping either with manipulating the crowd

Nah, he's right, even Tarik said it's a weak crowd

Bro the crowd is so biased, aint cheering for optic kills at all

Zoom call crowd

I spotted atleast 3 people behind the analysts so atleast it's not empty Pog

You won't find anything like this for valorant because

1. No replay system
2. Valorant observing is absolutely garbage, you can't even find clips in match vods cuz the observer missed every single kill

Even 20 yr old cs 1.6 frag movies are better than Mickey mouse tik tok edits for valorant

Yes, valorant is broken rn because of lot of people trying to open the night market

This amount looks a lot because it includes transfer/buyout fee + salary. It is similar to the C9 es3tag deal in CS

https://afkgaming.com/csgo/news/5221-cloud9-signs-es3tag-for-3-years-in-a-deal-worth-dollar21-million

4-5 days. I had fever the first day and then loss of taste for 2-3 days, those were the only symptoms i had
