We gotta start calling out weird people.
This is made up. This person is just saying words. He is living in a pretend world where he knows things no one else knows but him and FNS.
What is this obsession with past coaches... you realize if they were good they would never be let go? You understand that right? I totally do not understand how your brains work.
He was let go because he wasn't good.
Overwatch, Deadlock... It's pretty simple devs, if it's a first person SHOOTER, we don't need rock paper scissor mechanics. The person with the best aim deserves to win. Every time you move from this idea your game dies. RIPiss.
Dude has never heard of money. Make sense when you take a month long vacation every year.
-Zikz... Dude won a championship like a bench player on any sports team.
Get's dominated... to have an extra timeout... im sure it was some audio issue that is just working again
How dare you guys question Potter. She won a championship and you can't question how to do things. She's better and smarter than you.
Unlucky this is more of the same. Keep the cope guys. EG + YAY energy has no limits.
Two things I cannot stress enough. One, the coach. Imagine trying to come up with clever ideas when you're not even in the rank your players play in. Second, because they are not at a high enough level (which I don't think is achievable anymore without a cheater to help you rank) you imitate what you think is the correct way to play. Where do they get that information, the players who play ranked or watching other teams who run their teams like ranked teams.
I cannot STRESS how the current ecosystem is fraught with frauds. We refuse as a community to acknowledge it. We pretend that the people who are gatekeeping the entire community are the best we have. We rotate them in and out of other teams because tier 2 cannot reach the viewership of tier 1 and these coaches literally look at tournament stats to pick up players.
I challenge any pro to show me your old stratbook and prove to the community that it is longer than 5 pages and doesn't have spelling mistakes.
We need to demand better. The org owners listen to the community. We need to voice that we want better.
Not to be racist but this is not an American account. This looks like bait from a certain country that is always on vlr.
There is this huge campaign for casual players where because they have numbers they complain and devs ALWAYS OVERREACT. I'm tired of this we gotta make everyone feel good about themselves at the expense of everyone else. Skill is dead. If you spend all your time playing these games you literally are going to hit a ceiling that has nothing to do with you. I'm soooooooooooooooo tired. It's every game now.
Sensationalism by the media is on full display sheeple.
It's not close. Riot Studios is on Olympic. Pacific Palisades is like 4 miles from there. Not to mention about 4 miles of concerete.
Just getting tired of casualization of video games. They are turning it into mobile games. They legit casualized rank with engagement optimized matchmaking. The best players in the server are not always the winners. And that's dumb.
They nerf Hawkeye but he has zero counter play to like... half the roster. Don't worry we prefer button mashing to skill.
Or we can call out garbage when we see it. Baaaaaah sheep Baaaaah!
You're just idolizing a person with no formal education and who has been perpetually been on the internet since 2010 or before. You think he has good takes because he's a pro who had a really bad career with one major win. The same thing with XQC. But whatever, your tastes are your tastes, they're just not tied to logic.
do you pay for blue checkmark? they dont see your message if you don't
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.
