My comment was specifically for United States. Even at a low to mediocre "Community College" the course units (for less than a handful of classes) and manuals can take you up north of $25k/year, while any other "more prominent" university will be over 60k/year in tuition (not counting any other costs, such as housing, etc)

Europe is the exact opposite, indeed. Education is treated as education in Europe, not as a new racket for the rich boys.

Universities and their costs... one of the biggest scam in US. I make 6 figures at a large tech/game company with only high school and European Baccalaureat completed, since I moved to US after 21 (albeit, I didn't start with that pay, had to work my way to that for 4-5 years). There's absolutely no reason to take onto so much debt for 'higher education" (not that higher to be honest) if you're already smart. The only exception is if you wanna become a supers-pecialized employee (eg: doctor, lawyer, etc), which lets be real, only 1% of you will be.

Be smarter kids

How are both teams unbeaten? Only 9z is truly unbeaten

You should just be ashamed to be yourself first. Leave the rest of Brazilians out of it.

FYI: This is not unique to brazil

Did you watch the video? They did this tier list rushed in 15 minutes, and they admitted it was all over the place but had to come to a consensus quickly. You're taking this waaaaay too seriously for a content piece that's supposed to be funny (and to be fair, they were not even that far from reality with it).

P.S.: They regularly talk shit and make fun of their previous tier lists/predictions... this show might just not be for you

Seems like it, according to OP (original poster)

GE Lightningfast is dropping an average of 14 kills per map... in ranked.... even when his team is winning. According to your logic, what does this mean?

https://tracker.gg/valorant/profile/riot/GE%20Lightningfast%230007/overview

Sure...

AFAIK he only had offers from overseas (not in Americas league), not from any "top dog teams" either (eg: c9 didn't offer him a spot, 100t, didn't offer him a spot, SEN didn't offer him a spot, NRG didn't offer him a spot, etc)

That sounded like BS from Marved to me... You could've seen it on his body language that he couldn't close any good deals. The Americas-based teams that couldn't afford him didn't even try, and the teams that could afford him went for other players. Of course he won't confirm that, cause it would "damage his brand"

I wouldn't call that beast mode, since there's only 1 good map out of 3 as of now.

This is more of a beast mode in my view: https://www.vlr.gg/170959/sengoku-gaming-vs-fennel-challengers-league-japan-split-1-lr2/?game=all&tab=overview

Val and CS are still heavily dependent on the specific region in which they're played to determine which one is bigger.

Your statements are actually factually incorrect if you look at regions like EMEA, Oceania, etc. (CS is without a doubt bigger in those regions)

People need to stop comparing which one is bigger, and learn how to enjoy both games for what they are (great)

I believe they intentionally are leaving that vague (for the purpose of Champs 2023). Since it's LA, ethnicity could be a mix between various latin american countries and/or "white american".

There's actually a difference between coordinating entry and mid-round calling.

The mid-round call mostly comes from the IGL (even though not always, depending on IGL style and how much leeway is provided for the rest of the players to make adjustment calls based on info received).

The execute coordination is mostly done by the first 2-3 players entering the respective area/site (in CS is more related to the numbers, in Valorant the agents usually have an impact on who those 2-3 players are, rather than the "first players on the map").

Your video just proves his point. You must be new to tactical FPS games since you're stating that an IGL is not important.

You're being deservedly laughed at for such a statement, be that in a game like Valorant or CS.

What does DotA All Stars (the community map created 2003 as Warcraft III mod) has to do with Valve? Valve only got rights for DotA starting with DotA2.

Also, why didn't you include the first Counter-Strike game, if you're using the first DotA as reference? (1.0 released in 2000) or maybe Counter-Strike 1.5 when Valve actually started supporting it with $$

Your numbers make no sense. I don't think you even know what you want to say or what you're talking about.

this a weird take..... Leo has been this good, I can see it from all the way here on a different continent.

his mental fortitude is just... out of this world.

You're telling me SEN wasn't able to grab a good coach in Franchise League but TSM was able to get ENGH (ex-Gambit) in Challengers League?

C'mon man... Sykko was not and it is still not a good option..

@admin shouldn't this be on March 5th instead of March 4th?

Duelist's role in this game is not to get 20+ kills, but to make space for their team with the assistance of abilities empowering for self-sustaining 1v1 fights.

Maybe you first need to learn the game and leave the Bronze skill rating before typing. (but I know this will go on deaf ears)

Considering the name was chosen by the fans, and they were inspired: Natus Vincere (Na'Vi)

Also, "together we are terrific" was a very good and funny choice by FNS

I've never seen a Jett bait his teammates so much... I wouldn't blame drone and tr1ck too much after this match, n4rrate somehow lets the initiators get space and enter before he does. weird... maybe they need some role changes, cause n4rrate's aim is ok.

let me know when you get out of Bronze, shitty

Yeah... I've never seen a Jett let both initiators almost always go in front of them on attack. This dude is always tucked behind Fade and Skye... no wonder MAD Lions are getting demolished. you must be really dogshit at this game if you think he owned anything on Pearl, regardless of his stats padding. The only round n4rrate made any space for his team was round 17.... that's sad

why would I cry? I'm asking for more info on this player.

Sounds like you love being retarded or something...

trying to watch n4rrate own, but I don't see it vs m80, he rather gets owned. do you have a clip or something of him owning?

He's saying there that stellar was seen as the scapegoat, read again (Will wasn't referring to himself)

You're overstating the impact that ENGH would have in this matter. TSM would lose to EDG for example, 8 out 10 times, simply due to the lack of fire power and experience.

The Guard lost to TSM... not sure how you're so confident on those potential scores..

to speak, maybe you do need to learn some... but to understand, yeah, I agree

that's the advantage of having a latin-based (romance) language, with some slavic and turkish influences. We understand a lot lol

You lost all credibility when you said Shao got carried... (even though I believe Leo actually is really close in skill and output to him)

Sorry bruh, you got too deep on the KoolAid

5 languages

Romanian, English - fluent
Spanish, Italian, French - conversational (but somewhat limited due to low usage lately, even though they're easy to understand for me)

Location: Romanian living in US

Later Edit: Since I moved to LA, I hoped I was going to refresh my Spanish more, but the Spanglish is too strong lol

"SEN probably have the most 1st place finishes than any other team in all of valorant history"

Not even close. (that team is actually VisionStrikers/DRX) SEN has not won any tournament in a very long time, to be more exact since August 2021. Only 1 of the current players had anything to do with that win. The statement (they can't win anything) stands very well on its merits, do your research before typing.

if it was the one from the desk, it would've been aEvilcat, not mimi. I know it's the initiator from g2.gozen, and she'll carry. thanks for trying to help I guess, but you assumed incorrectly

cool story kiddo. Go suck yo mommy titties, you sound like you're running out of nutrients, don't let that brain fry.

Reality is that you'd shit yourself and run away, immediately after you'd face me. Or you won't even show up... keep it quiet aggressive midget. Thanks

SEN is unfortunately doomed to fail. I'm still not sure how the Valorant community didn't realize what the CS one did: dephh is a fraud, he's good at "selling ideas" but unable to deliver as an In-Game Leader. Also, Sykko always seemed like an incompetent coach, not sure how he got the job. XSET was always a momentum team, heavily leaning on individual performances.

Until these cancer points are removed, there's virtually 0 chances that they'll be successful.

After these additional details, maybe the problem is at the top of the Org.

You sound like a 13 year old wanna-be macho man... talking about man babies.

Weird...

that was 2 years ago.. it's like saying 100T is the best in NA because they won First Strike North America...

ez carry for mimi

The difference between ANGE1 and dephh is the same as it was in CS. The ukrainian was always a class or two above

just noticed he called out "mocking" .. ok, he just trolling

calling ANGE1 a fraud is like going to the mall and yelling "I'm an idiot" with the full power of your lungs

just checked.

91% european
5% Mesopotamian (or Iranian)
0.6% Jewish/Levant
1.9% Indian/Pakistani
0.1% Manchurian/Mongolian

Based on my DNA testing, more like 5.8% Asian. The rest I'm European, but currently living in North America for 13 years.

Not sure how this addresses anything, but I hope it helps you ;D

1. Korea is not a region.
2. Even if it was, it's not "a one team" (gen.g)
3. APAC is the region, and it's far away from being "a one team" region
4. Use your brain before clicking that reply button

bye bye

There's no one team region...

The sanctions are by governments, not by Riot (which clearly creates a regulatory uncertainty for any type of investment) . You're clearly brain dead, I won't waste more keyboard wear on you.

Kalinychta

Please use brain power next time before replying. Every single regional league acts as a qualifier to a second layer of tournaments (international most the time). What's the point of having a qualifier that cannot provide a team which can go to intl events, due to previously mentioned issues? This on top of the fact that you'd have teams from certain countries refuse to play against teams from other certain countries...

One has to be some kind of brain dread to spend that much money and time on a league that can currently provide almost nothing.

This is not rocket scienece bruh... o fucking K?

Cheers

Leviathan consistently make bad calls mid-round and then have to get saved by 2v4 and 2v5 clutches. How is that being the best IGL in the world? make some sense please

KiNgg is a great player, but let's be serious...
