It's cool, it was more of a rant of frustration <3
It was a pretty insane double standard that was applied to him. Top 500 is essentially which other top 500 players are you networked with and it's like a 50/50 situation on whether they got there by cheats or someone cheating to boost them.
His advice was based on logic most of the time, not authority. We live in a backwards society that would shun someone like him. There are so many fraudsters in top 500 and t2, to target the one who was trying to help people for money was wild.
There is such a bizarre fascination within the esports community to find some sort of rookie prodigy that is going to change the landscape of Valorant forever. And some how we can't find that person. And the reason, honestly, is that we are too wrapped up in results to see the forest for the trees.
Every single prodigy in the story of esports has some sort of personal struggle attached to it. Some dark piece of history that we leave in the dark. Faker lived with his grandparents and his father. Doublelift's family was massacred. Rapha's comes from a divorced family situation. And yet we want to ignore these details. We look at only the championships and ignore the horrific conditions they had to go through to achieve them.
The internet used to be a place of refuge. That concept is dead. No longer can a person who is bullied at school find a safe space on the internet because the bully is now on the internet.
I think this just has a profound effect on the search for your rookie prodigy. If you cannot go into Valorant to escape the terrible situation you find yourself in reality then it is harder to spend thousands of hours getting better and becoming a prodigy. If Valorant is now a social event then a person like the pros I mentioned above, wouldn't want to spend time in that place. The more we curate, the more we protect, the harder it will be to find the truly special players who need safe spaces to grow.
People already out here with nostalgia yearning for Yay and TenZ.
I know this community isn't very smart so let me help you out... LLMs or AI aka Chatgpt is trained on user data. Specifically Reddit user data. The reason they choose reddit data is that the "Right" answer is usually upvoted.
Still with me? Okay now, the million dollar question, would you ask someone from /r/valorantcompetitive who wins kickoff emea? Exactly...
It's the coach. Don't blame the pieces.
Franchise system is working fam. 100T losing to Tier 2, SEN losing to who? Franchise system needs to go away for a couple years then come back when you have established teams and coaches in the scene already. Not a group of grifters all using "map meta" to protect their jobs as rich old weirdos watch their money go byebye.
Did I miss that day of drama? Did the assistant coaches not work out? I mean really? A professional org lost to Trust in Plug? https://www.vlr.gg/423186/100-thieves-vs-trust-in-plug-for-those-who-dare-2024-sf
You know what's super fkn sad... FNS being the biggest brain you're aware of... The bar is so low you can step over it.
He's a kid and is probably just happy to be well paid to play video games.
This is all very dry. I want to re-asses franchise and open it up to more people. I am falling asleep.
yal are being wild.... they might actually do something drastic
Big Brother is always listening. Be careful out there fam.
mmw, poppin and eggster never go to lan. We're gonna get some sort of "We just wanted to see how we would do..." type shit if they haven't already.
I'm convinced they built engagement optimized matchmaking and then built a ranked system on top of it. Ranked systems are easy to create, especially when you message riot and they tell you that it's just a simple number.
We're never getting back a skilled based ranked system. We will always have some stupid moneymaking scheme attached to it. Modern gaming is a shitty movie where I pretend I'm good at something because I never have a chance to actually try because a greedy corporation would rather have smurfs, cheaters and boosted players for money.
I blame COD and the dumb community who thought everyone was a "sweat" when actuality they just bought controllers with cheats.
There is no loser queue but in order to move up you need to not only win but win with a team of people in that rank. Sometimes that requires you carrying two people. If you don't want to carry two people, you arrive to the same place you deserve over time. Not sure how long that is but the point is that if you keep playing on the same account and you deserve to move up you will. There's just a lot of players who duo+ to immortal and then fall back down.
Ranked:
tdawgg is my favorite val personality. dude is so gassed up on himself and walks around like he knows stuff but then fails the hardest on teams. coaching from that sort of position is wild.
Hi FNC Owner/s,
I realize that you think you're smart or the group of you think of yourselves as intelligent but let me help you out here. You can't know what you don't know. If you have a problem, you can't keep the same people around trying to resolve it. If I don't know the answer to 2+2, thinking really hard about it isn't going to get you to 4. Do the corporate thing of flushing the org and make the current people train the next group. You just need new thinking.
nah i can confirm there is a low trust queue. most people on vlr won't see it... you have to get some crazy hs% games over the course of prob 20 games or so.
It's crazy because I think it's at the level of if you load in your cheats they detect it and drop you into the low trust q regardless of your past performances.
hard to care when everthing feels random
they dont know about the art work rp loop hole
Riot should offer a bounty program to turn in cheat providers.
1000 RP per successful report.
How did you figure this out? Can you explain your methods so we can record them for everyone to see?
Do you not try hard in swiftplays?
They are a radiant player and a random coach that has failed a bunch of times... they cited "anti-stratting" ... no one anti-strats. That was something people did in CS 1.6 and CSGO because the scene was undeveloped. Teams would come up with one strat and run it. Then NIP went on their run and you couldn't do that anymore because people watched...
Waste of money... waste of time... 100T are not going even this season lol.

They ended up just picking two randoms who don't know shit about the game. The revolving friend door continues.
Oh my god guys. I found another one. https://tracker.gg/valorant/profile/riot/wer%231404/matches?playlist=swiftplay&seasonId=dcde7346-4085-de4f-c463-2489ed47983b
Excellent explanation. Thanks chap!
Can you explain it like I'm five?
This has worked very well for this poster. You don't know this but this advice got him to tier 2 2nd place in the weekly junior varsity middle school tournament. You too can follow this advice and make it someday.
All I'm going to say is that if the coaches we idolize were so good then I don't see how you rationalize the results of the sen city tournament. Chet replaced by a player coach. Sen decimated. Not enough green tea in the world to improve on that.
How are you grading this scale?
How would you know the level of involvement?
This is the same sort of person that idolizes a billionaire because they are self-made.
Don't worry, Jkap just needs more green tea.
