what is flawed with your logic is that cs has had a huge increase in playerbase and viewership these last 2 years, valorant will need to grow more than this current cs level

babysusuke???????? is that you?

yes but all you need to do counter that is put chamber trap and viper orb on the choke and fight them in the choke so they cant get out, neon is only useful if your enemy plays in site, if they play retake or fight you in the choke then it is not

you are asking the important question here, ty

nah, if you got a godlike raze like alfajer then you should not play neon, also its very counterable and will be even more if chamber meta dies

true but his aim is good and has improved recently but he moves like a bot, he is licking walls sometimes lmao

I am biggest EMEA fan but holy you are based, see you in lower finals tho you will get shit on in the rematch

10%, only way leviatan beat fnatic is they really choke hard and derke doesnt wake up, never seen him playing like today, he was shaking and missing the type of op shots where you literally just need to click, if they can get derke and alfajer to both play well at the same time they will be unbeatable for leviatan, so sad that alfajer played bad against fpx and derke played like bot against prx, they will need this match against an easier opponent to regain confidence and then reset in the break before crowd matches in top4

true tho, prx about to lose 2 in a row 0-2 0-3 against optic and fnatic, teams look so unaware against them, once they adapt they will get fucked, motherfuckers lost against laze and lost maps to literally apac teams

me, I carry all EMEA alone taking all the downfrags for the rest of the region, btw Fnatic are still going to win the tournament and see you paper rex at champions, dog playstyle wont work anymore

true, TI prize pool is a big problem but even then its still good

if you are talking about league, the esports scene is kinda meh: bad formats, 2 international lans a year (lol), regions dont seem to improve regardless of getting spots in every event, cringe community, full of leftists, not based at all, basically same shitshow every year where fans get to watch poor formated regional leagues and then international lans where korea and china destroy everybody except in rare cases where an EU team has a good performance, so boring also the fans are literally 80% casuals who dont know shit about the game, the competitive scene is literally meant to attract casuals, it feels like twitter football where idiots just say the most braindead stuff

nah, what is this disrespect to dota??? people actually care they always put good numbers but it looks worse than it is because league is so big

WTF is b main? what is this silver callout? if you are talking about the one he throws from close to a short then that has been done for a while, fnatic just popularized it

fpx and guild

true

true

quality of casting is low in general atm in valorant, I doubt there are any better english speaking casters available

CS fans turn into literal apes everytime the word valorant is mentioned on twitter. It's a biological response, their monkey brains get activated because valulrant threatens their way of life. That's why they come here and defend CS from criticism and talk about viewership! let's face it the average person is practically brain dead. That's why the most popular music artist is Drake, his music requires no skill and it's more boring than shit you hear on elevators. CS is simple to understand for any low IQ person, even the strats are memorable since they are still running NIP 2014 strats. Valorant high IQ, therefore it will always have less views.

I think that is mainly because a lot of teams in CS are a mess atm

random meta atm tbh, its basically which chamber has the best game

so boring... its just an improved jett, I miss kj and cypher

you cant really say out stratted if optic got all first bloods tho, its just feels so surreal that they werent able to convert them

agree, also its just something about PRX style against EMEA teams that works so well against it, I still feel like Fnatic will demolish every other team and then be ready against PRX if they have rematch

tbh too early to talk

obviously he is just being nice and not having an ego but from an outsider perspective I feel like most would say they play the most flawless valorant atm

Optic farmed basically all opening kills and still got destroyed, didnt watch but wtf happened? this is so uncommon, did drx just clutch like gods?

dont worry, I dont know about you but I am still 100% confident they are the best in the world, now they only have to beat leviatan who shouldnt be a problem and then they can reset since there is a break before stage games, also I am 100% sure they will learn to play against PRX style, boaster looked very good against them and seemed ready for what they were doing just unluko the other players werent as aware as him

on a side note, I would like to hear vlr opinion if playing like PRX does will be the new meta or are teams just not ready for it so that makes it more effective than it actually is? drx who are kinda of a passive team practice them a lot and they were ready for it last masters and beat them comfortably, would like to hear if you guys think its just a matter of time until teams adapt to it? To me it seems like EMEA teams are being stubborn against PRX, they play like they would against other EMEA teams, just keep fighting, I feel like sometimes you need to give them the map control and then fight for it later otherwise you are just playing into their game

true

its fine but probably util needs a nerf in general, also I dont understand how ults make sense, game would be better without ults

he is fine atm but he is probably the next in line to be replaced

no comeback, f0rsaken and jing about to rush a and kill all and its gg

LOL, they are pushing them everytime hahahahaha fnatic what doink?

why are you expecting prx players to give you respect?
how are you not expecting them to push everything? Thats literally all they do, didnt prepare or what

From what I am watching its so dissapointing, Fnatic are not aware of this aggressiviness, how? Its all they do lol

I just woke up, I missed map 1, what happened in map1? How did fnatic lose? Also why tf are they picking Ascent lol

my school friends were saying the n word all day since they heard it in american songs a lot and thought it was cool and from my experience I didnt learn it was this offensive until very recently, some would call the n word as a joke to a friend who had a darker skin, hope americans learnt this, best way to make it less offensive is stop making it a taboo

making words so offensive and taboo is a thing only english speaking culture does, in my mother tongue we say slurs for a living

what did he say?

true! hope spaniards change the way they say black too!

imo not in different tiers, fnatic is way better, also alfajer and derke way better duo than victor and yay

literally, the fact they dont need alfa to destroy every1 like in emea challengers in order to make fpx look like a tier99 team is so fucking scary, once alfa starts destroying its gg for every1

Agree but not win, PRX wont do anything against fnatic imo, optic and fpx will be the biggest challenges but still cant see them beating fnatic unless all their players hit godlike form and dont miss a shot

idk, I think optic have weaknesses specially against european style of play also fnatic literally look unbeatable, they seem to have no weakness: elite adaptation, elite defaulting, best creative strats, 2 of the best igls in valorant, 2 top3 players in valorant, perfect macro, almost flawless utility usage, I cant see how any team in the world can beat them if they are at their best

what were zekken and cryo doing in 12-11 1v2? why is zekken playing underheaven instead of going A main? Cryo is going short and the leviatan player is 100% either heaven or door, zekken just isolated himself also lets not talk about wtf cryo did in that 1v1

I thought you meant atm in the whole of valorant not this match only lmao

after watching all teams, I think its obvious only way Fnatic dont win is if they throw hard

he is good but stop overrating players for good 1 map, he is not god like player just good

finland super team would destroy every region

bodied that bozo
