FPX vs PRX copenhagen

PRX in full w-mode with Jinggg on his peak form

FPX with Shao in never-before seen clutching mode and suygetsu with memorable highlights

Left non-vct for vct

Exactly this. It should quiet all conversations of “botster only looks good cause he signed the best players in the world”. Ofc the idiots will stay idiots

Prime astralis was imo the most fun era of CSGO. They weren't just dominating, they were completely reinventing tactics with the nadestacking and how they played off of each other. None of them were the flashiest players in the world, they were all just really good role players whose synergy was legendary

The only time he ever struggled was when he decided he should be IGL

What do you even mean?

Viewership is down because there’s barely anything to watch. Tournament schedule is ass. The same 20 teams are recycling mostly the same 50 peoplers.

Rito has too tight a grip on what’s going on. They franchised multiple years too early, in a way that not just makes T1 less exciting, but T2 a zero sum game for orgs.

If valorant esports continues to go downhill, you can only blame riot for it

more attention and viewers is more good for the esport. Don't care where the money comes from

And the debate dev1ce vs s1mple raged for like 4 years as well

That just means he's a popular streamer. He was already a popular streamer during CSGO, which is why he launched with such high popularity in Valorant.

Doesn't mean he's a goat player necessarily. He was just the most high profile streamer who took the game seriously, so he became the poster boy of valorant.

I'm assuming you're american? Americans tend to give more credence to streaming popularity than other regions.

Just did a quick check. The dude is 16, so this happened when he had just turned 14. Are we really going to hold 13-14 year olds accountable for saying shit on discord?

Your tongue feels too big for your mouth and can’t find a comfortable place to put it

Suygetsu 4k (and 1v2) vs PRX that made FPX win the tourney in final round

Explain how this is a rage bait?

The forums were full of flor glazers saying she would destroy in T1. The facts are now very clear - this is not the case. She's a good player, but she's not everything VLR.gg made her out to be. So simply put, she's overhyped, which by now I think is a very clear fact.

Not every thread about flor is a ragebait. The OP didn't mention anything about her personally, only her skill level and the hype she's been receiving.

reminds me of when Americas used to play the viper/kj/sova meta constantly. Any team vanity was in would play the most boring rat shit of all time

Pretty solid. Timer on left click, longer flash on right click, and only 1.5 seconds revive time. The revive will be a LOT easier to pull off now.

Also happy with the vyse nerfs

In all fairness, hiro was shining the most in fnatic during clutch moments. Basically the only moments your team doesn’t matter at all

CS more popular in BeNeLux than Valorant

EDIT: It probably also depends on the age group though, I wouldn't be surprised if Valorant is more popular than CS among the 15-20 year old. As a 31 year old, most of my peers just grew up with CS, Valorant is "too new"

Ah you absolutely wouldn't like wagyu then. The whole point of eating wagyu is how the fat runs through the meat. The more intramuscular fat there is (called marbling), the more special and expensive it is. Wagyu fat is very different from "normal" beef fat in flavour though

Both. Had it before and it’s expensive lol

Rather spend my stomach space on actual food. Also don't have a sweet tooth at all. I'd rather the flavors from the rest of the meal remain on my palate than a dessert

New Zealand crayfish from Kaikoura with garlic butter. Toss in some alaska king crab legs as a starter

Then a wagyu A5 ribeye with belgian fries and my mom’s homemade mayonnaise.

No dessert

Almost no esports company is profitable.

Adding that they have to pay leo's salary, crashies' salary, pay out trexx contract fees and then have to pay him a salary too, that is just poor business and wouldn't offset any additional winnings they get

Ow1’s esport scene was never that good. The readability problems kept people from watching.

Conversely, that’s the reason CS does so well. Even people who don’t play the game can watch and understand, got a cousin that’s never touched CS that still watches it.

Valorant luckily is similar to CS but still a higher “barrier of entry”, and getting higher by the years due to introduction of new agents

He’s not vocal enough

Could accept if you said Netherlands DLC.

But France? Belgium performs better in any category than france, and more people speak Dutch and English fluently than French.

Which colors represent which regions?

It's a CS copypasta

Yes, it's a HLTV copy pasta about olofmeister being a "boring player" and GuardiaN with the flicks

classic babysasuke take

straight into the bin, didn't even have to read it to know it would be an ass take

Jesus christ imagine getting 20k posts since 2019.

Respect to cNed

For his return, I hope he focuses on becoming less one-dimensional

Of course I understand that. So realistically, what would the team that is building the replay system be focusing on additionally? I can only imagine the UE5 port would take that kind of skill.

Any other element of the game would be solved by different teams. Nothing fundamental/infrastructure wise has been changed in the game in years

The only solution I can see is that the replay system will come in parallel with the UE5 port, as it may make no sense to custom build it in UE4 when they're going to port the game anyway

What have they realistically BUILT over the last few years?

No real new gamemodes that take a lot of coding, agents don't take that much coding. No huge overhauls that take much coding.

The only thing they could've been working on at this scale is the UE5 port. It really is inexcusable taking so long, especially knowing they were already working on it while the game was being developed, so even before release

Franchising is so bad man. You franchise in an existing scene, not from the get go. They should’ve learned from overwatch

Lol what? Something like this always needs management + coach permission. You’re talking about contracts here. Can’t just step down willy nilly and expect to earn the same money etc

Gotta be tripping if you think he could decide this completely by himself

I mean immortal is the obvious answer but I feel like this really isn't part of the discussion here as you're really just fighting for 500 spots with all the other sweats who are grinding hard.

So if we don't consider immortal, then I would say it's ascendant.

Most ascendant players have already hit immortal 1/2/3 in the past, don't really care too much for ranking up and therefore the mental seems to be worse than in other ranks. Since it's full of ex-immortal players, the average aim in the rank tends to be quite good, so from just destroying aim-wise you will not necessarily consistently win a great % of your games unless you're ofc super cracked mechanically. Teamplay is very inconsistent due to the fact that the drive to rank up may be somewhat lower than in some of the lower ranks below it

Don't argue with this guy, he doesn't understand the title of his own thread.

GOAT = greatest of ALL TIME.

Not just whoever happens to be good currently. Dude has massive recency bias

Recency bias.

Best raze if you look across the history of valorant is Derke and there should be no question about it. Consistently among the top of every tournament he played as raze since near the start of valorant.

brother your own thread is called "GOAT of every agent"

GOAT = greatest of all time
therefore calling nAts cypher play "outdated" defeats the purpose of your own thread.

Nobody in the history of valorant has been as impactful for his team and on the game on cypher as nAts. Making the point that his style may currently be or not be outdated does not belong in this conversation.

Depends on what rank that is. If that is anything between bronze and plat, then no, nobody knows how to play the game at all there

Lmao your downvotes. Fkin prophet

Not a friend.
