the fact of the matter is that when you provoke someone knowing that they don't understand the nuance of what you're doing or saying, think of what it is to them. provoking. very simple.

should they stop and think about maybe it means something else? yes, 100%

should people be surprised when their provocation that the other person has no context or understanding of is met with poorly? no, 100%

in the end both groups are only willing to look at it from their perspective and not the others

usually when you communicate with someone outside your culture with phrases and cultural symbols that you know they don't understand in the same way you do, it's not exactly fair to then go "yooo cmon man you just dont get it" when they respond sourly

just my 2cents

i really dont feel one way about any of this, i just think both sides are so convinced that they do nothing wrong when reality is obviously in the middle

Hello Soraol,

The phrase "you'd think the crowd stoned FNS to death xd" is meant to imply that people online are treating the crowd's reaction like some horrendous act of violence. In other words, they are overreacting to some simple boo-ing that is being blown out of proportion as if it was something much more hateful.

This has been your english lesson for today, please check your notes before commenting again.

who cares talking shit in game is fine
the only thing is saadhak probably wont like it because hes all about being a nice guy and never doing anything extra like this lool

nah rb is the goat and owns your bloodline

it is, 2 nrg players literally run through door and it naturally stays open for a sec, which is when aspas sees him. then it closes and the pov switches to him so you see him shooting at the now closed door

true, on DRX press conference they said that BBL was very well prepared for everything they had planned and were always ready for their strats

reliable goat

talon put up a damn good fight really impressed
garnets has superstar potential

nah bro dont host it here again

coaches can only talk to their team during tacs, nobody can talk during tech timeouts

think critically

lots of spam, should buy phantom

yet loud keeps buying vandals while nrg use phantom and spray their tracers down

you can tell they're really leveraging the influence aspas has by having him make big statement plays immediately to get into the other teams head, to force them to consider extra options about where he could be and the pace they have to take. for example, when he walked down mid on pistol round vs geng and got 2 deag kills

like you said optic did this very well with yay too, at one point yay said something like "we played around the fact that teams were scared of me"

When we host a tournament on the moon and the aliens that NASA are hiding the existence of use their space probes on all of the audience i don't want to hear any complaints

need more jett main to controller conversions

mako, tuyz, who next

i respect the copium
surely this is the optic standard lose first map Clueless

baccano is the easy answer

This needs way more likes...
Pinback has literally saved the day so many times.. Its actually become part of my life... And its always there when i need it... The magic nostalgia it brings is completely almost incomprehensible... Unless you take in the music!!
Thank you pinback for all the good memories... And making my life better when there was nothing else...
Listening to this music with head phones is a whole other experience.. So much detail. Always can peel back and hear new layers. This is one of the many reasons why pinback NEVER gets old.
Much love.

half impressive you should feel neutral

the game is at a point where the skills rewarded in valorant are different than the skills used in csgo. for the first two years they were pretty much the same game which is why the cs transplants won everything, nowadays it requires a different perspective and approach

also iono why he's got so much beef with the game bro must be bored during retirement

its always like this, people think an agent is shit until it gets used effectively in pro play

same thing happened with optic and neon

Lmao yeah i whiffed pretty bad, on the bright side i made 500 on drx after seeing the betting odds

What if some day or night a demon were to steal after you into your loneliest loneliness, and say to you, "This life as you now live it and have lived it, you will have to live once more and innumerable times more; and there will be nothing new in it, but every pain and every joy and every thought and sigh and everything unutterably small or great in your life will have to return to you, all in the same succession and sequence" ... Would you not throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse the demon who spoke thus? Or have you once experienced a tremendous moment when you would have answered him: "You are a god and never have I heard anything more divine."

suck my nuts bozo

probably, just my observations

iono if im reading too far into but it feels like a big attitude discrepancy between yay and the rest of c9
u could see him start to tilt around haven the round where everyone died retaking a but him
and then the rest of icebox everyone else trying to laugh and smile and he just looked frustrated
chemistry lacking methinks

his comeback story from a choking duelist to a GOAT flex player has been incredible

c9 have big advantage, drx have yet to change their setups and main strategies for the old map pool so they can watch infinite vods

if they veto out pearl and lotus i think c9 should have it on lock

he has run circles around kolda and whoever igls giants so far ngl, not often that you can visibly see the gap between igls

Mako and Buzz Turn Up on Saturdays is an incredible line

nah, in BBLs press conference they specifically said they picked ascent because they studied drx well and knew everything they were going to do

could be but doubt it, they said they arent as practiced cuz splitting server time between foxy and zest

c9 2-1 drx
i think drx is the better team atm but the bbl game demonstrated that everyone and their mother has researched drxs gameplay
just a matter of information diff, i dont think c9 has shown enough data while drx hasnt changed their setups much yet
i think if they play a newer map like pearl or lotus it favors them tho, rest c9 should be able to take it

eg 2-0 talon
in big cock johnson we trust
maps should be close

bawn alt account detected

yea, very bitchmade activity to go full silent the second someone presses you

basically a guy called bawn was duod with an account called payen in tariks game

1) people found out payen was a sold account (used to run it down and crypto throw)
2) tarik found out bawn was in his game again with him and asked if they were duod
3) bawn lies and says hes solo, after he calls him out he admits that they're duo
4) bawn mutes for rest of the game wont explain why he lies

here) bawn subtweets saying "lmfaoooo tarik thinks im duo with a crypto thrower" when he went full mute the moment he got called out in game
also here) tarik tries to get bawn on discord to explain, he bitches out wont respond

damn french banter kinda racist

thats a lotta assumptions my friend, should wait for results before making big claims

bro automatically put tuyz in conversation with the worlds best controllers after 2 bo3s

the amount of shit ive seen about prx after griefing one match is unreal lol, would not be surprised if they come back next event and shit on everyone

for everyone besides meteor and k1ng it was their first time playing international. good learning experience and impressive showing to push loud that hard. should be optimistic about their future

NRG 2-0 Burger King
FNS dismantle another mid team with his jimmy neutron brain again

LOUD 2-0 KC
lol cmon man not much to say here

there is a lot of hidden talent for sure, i watched a player on Tartarus last season called wenty and i swear he's got world class mechanics. dunno why he hasnt gotten a shot yet maybe bad at teamplay

good to have a high level 2nd korean team. geng look like they can still grow much more, looking forward to it

the idea is to play for fast map control via crunches and then do coordinated retakes instead of having a sentinel play on an island
idk how good it is but the idea is reasonable

ayo?

yeah, it's why your mother can't stop calling me

stop the cap bro we know your ex left you for a korean dude

im pretty impressed by geng tbh, they need meteor to overheat less and its very very close

so reliable still just as good as he was back in vision strikers
