entirely different league. china got slapped around before they got their own region and it took 2 years for them to get to the top. Gc get their own league years after others and again like EDG theyre the best there and they play in T2 (when china played in internationals they bomb out) get slapped around its the same. however china put a shit ton of money into it respected the fact they were trying and that theyre humans with emotions gave them resources and actually helped instead of just going "hahah ur T4 u suck". its embarrassing the most common thing to do is call ppl shit immediately. this games so toxic and the community wait for the exact moment someone does something bad to bring them down instead of just watching ppl play. if you all had a little respect youd see the league develop instead none of you actually think

and yet youre not in the league no way. its a team game they win as a team lose as one.

didnt EG get 13-0 by loud and then go to win champs. see how when you take stuff out of context it just makes it sound bad with having zero relevance at all

correlation isnt causation. read some studies cos its so clear you dont know anything ab GC and dont care so stop talking about it lmao.

name some? or maybe read studies.

exactly as of rn the GC money is way more sustainable than going to T2. narrate literally says she could do it but just need to prove herself in T2 first and brush up on mistakes. alot of the teams in GC just need to keep playing T2 teams and theyll get better its just that ppl see that and go oh theyre shit instead of giving them a chance. typical vlr uses tbh and just the val community in general

thats all u take from it lmao if you cant understand dont speak ab something you know nothing about. literally all that means is if all you care ab is T1 why comment on T2 or GC? cos you clearly dont care

alot of pros say she can easily be in T1 based on mechanics alone but she need to get better at making decisions. Thats why she needs a T2 team to prove herself in a way and not just GC as the league is not as competitive.

not really hardstuck is it when youve been years behind in development due to ppl being sexist. everyone said the same about china bcos they finally got their league in 2022. 2023 Boostio: China will never be better than NA, the only way china ever got good practice was when they were playing at internationals as their in league teams were bad. 2024: China wins Champs. its crazy how when a place puts time, money and actually cares about the scene to give them proper role models then they will progress. SR need to play more pugs and in T2/3 challengers whatever and they will get better. cut some slack itll take a while to get better, if you just wanna watch good valorant stick to T1 then and be boring

well considering also kajaak also trialed and leo could not return getting narrate would make sense. personally idk why they just didnt keep hiro, move alfa to duelist and grab patitek for their init if derke wanted to leave. literally couldve been the best roster

is something confusing ab that?

hes Leos replacement for the off season

these arguments are so funny. FNC and NRG both did reaction time videos, guess who won? Boaster and FNS neither are known for their insane aim lmao. when will people learn just having a fast reaction time doesnt make you good at val when theres hundreds of things going on. exactly the same with aimlabs its not the answer, but it helps for sure

ive come back again after 4 months and it still cracks me up.

and yet there have been studies done to show that with these differences they equate to fuck all in game bcos theres alot more going on. NRG and FNC did a video each testing all their players reaction times, guess who won? Boaster and FNS. Now theyre very good players but they are not known for being the best of shooters. you see how reaction time in an enclosed space males will beat females, but in the grand scheme of thing it literally equates to nothing. that isnt to say you dont need it but that "difference" alone doesnt matter

except experience, role models and money are a big thing. there isnt alot of experience as val is a young game, but its changed alot, GC wasnt a thing from the start, the same way the chinese league wasnt. plus no role models, by the time some of the new players are entering the scene from T2 etc there have been pros step down, like TenZ, ppl wanted to play against him so they grinded. Your role models dont have to be the same sex or anything but they usually are, seen as the GC scene isnt that big, ppl dont see the pros as their role models bcos nobody really knows them. We only know a few. Again relating it to china bcos theyre really a great example of how the league should be done, kangkang is a massive name, they poured a shit ton of money into promoting VCT china and into him and EDG that everyone else around got better. hes a massive role model for china and it boosted them massively. Side note EDG also said when they play its too easy in region to play bcos they know theyre better than everyone so their real test is international events and they usually bomb out pretty early, until recently, i think the same could be said for SR and GC in general. once they keep playing in challengers they will get better. we just need ppl to stop hating bcos thats gonna get us no where. ofc they look bad bcos they havent had the same opportunities as others have.

why does it matter? just watch the matches why do you have to be weird about it

this is a team game

i dont even know why DRX dropped them. they played and did great. they just needed a little bit of work to touch up. less work than getting whole new players

EMEA is Europe, Middle East and Africa. he comes from EMEA not EU

it spread bcos of him saying a slur in his recent SEN game aswell. even SEN replied bcos it did it rounds.

https://x.com/erafps/status/1844208221143302282

honestly they need new coaching cos wtf are these comps. when u look at their GC comps they actually work well. why sage? i think they just need to keep trying for challengers bcos no matter what its good training even if you lose 13-0

ppl die due to racism also? are you just not making the link

it just makes more sense for them to go into GC cos that was set up for everyone else to have a chance. the T2 scene is not consistent. ideally just mixed teams would be better to stop separating them but in terms of money GC would get them more places and actually get paid. GC champs prize pool was 500k, T2 is still split per region so makes sense to stay in the GC league but it was around 100k per region obvs you can only play 1 region but then atleast you get into VCT.

honestly yeah. screaming at like every kill is just too much

both of their duelists can play a larger pool then him and better so nah

its actually insane cos hes been consistently top frag. why cant sen just buy him. if they lose this i want to see it happen ASAP

was just about to say this. plays jett and yoru which is slightly different, but no raze or neon???? thats gonna hurt in some time when the maps change

tf? zander is the only one who id want in T1. wouldnt be surprised to see M80 lose and zander gets picked up in T1.

the only person realistically is zander that will be grabbed by T1.

yeah but then youre shitting on T2 like its their fault? making stupid comparisons

so back to normal lmao

did we watch the same round?

with the amount of advertisement riot gives to T2 its still pretty good.

hes inconsistent asf. look at G2 they went up w him replaced him w leaf and got way better

hes wayy too good to keep as a 6th man. he needs a team

literally nobody cares. as Boo said stats are for people who dont know how to play the game. get over it. they placed where they are and they did good. enjoy the games played. the meta changed within those tournaments ppl got added to teams, teams anti strat. just watch the games nerd

none of this is relevant as where are them teams now? The rankings are the rankings and regardless of all the "stats" and excuses ppl come up with, the reality is FNC have trophies because of boaster and the team. The same way so do others. Luck is part of the game and that sometimes means teams win over others in stupid ways when their "peak" is significantly different.

it doesnt matter when it happens tho. ppl who have been abused dont realise until later on. thats so common

what annoys me is these two cases flash back and now mazino are just making ppl not take allegations seriously and just straight away blame the alleged victim coming forward. majority of the time its not our call to say whos in the wrong until we get all sides.

yeah definitely. she more than likely doesnt realize what shes doing and maybe just wants some peace from her POV. i dont doubt somethin had happened between them that is fucked up but thats from both sides i reckon.

OHHHHH they have similar tattoos as he has a snake on his arm. she has red on it tho also

the picture was of mazino in the hospital tho how does that have relevance?

bcos you want the answer right away duh? see how everyone else waited and got the answer.it was literally done not long after. yes it was vague but just wait then and say his tweets vague he doesnt say anything. all u said was so did he abuse her. just wait then lol idk why thats hard to understand

literally even if youre block from each other you could try get a friend in contact to talk to them or something.

the twitter translation doesnt work idk why maybe cos i dont have an account. All i read was he tried to commit suicide over some discord messages. This is a very messy case both sides look bad im ngl. hopefully lev just sort it out and each can move on in whatever way they can. If lev lose and have a shit performance with mazino it would be upsetting but i hope ppl dont go blaming her regardless of whos right and wrong

im not saying that lmao. just try wait for the full story to come out instead of trying to get the info out right away just be patient

anything on https://x.com/PolloPobre/status/1821809278237249957 ?
