unc? I play from my deathbed.

How do you determine the effect of the players vs the effect of the coach? Looking at his record, he did not do very well on NAVI.

Also not ragebaiting, actually curious how people determine a good coach vs a good group of players.

He's just pointing out that Glasspad is a fad. And he's not wrong. Hardpads to qck+ to Artisan to Glasspad and bunch of things in between.

20 years of mousepad innovation for no reason :)

thank god for gamba. truly make every game seem like a throw for crypto.

Not your fault. Very difficult to tell the impact of a coach on any team. It's too opaque and everyone who has an opinion is assuming.

First female coach to win a championship across any FPS title. That's legendary. If I'm EG, I'm nuking the whole roster and running it back.

The 100 Thieves assistant coach search was the potential turning point and they whiffed.

Is the trencher era still alive and well? iykyk.

People don't forget. This is going to follow him for the rest of time.

2027.

Incentive corruption is when a system’s rewards and penalties are structured in a way that pushes people to behave in ways that are misaligned with the system’s stated goals. For esports, that's franchising and the partner system. There is no real downside to underperforming as long as you maintain a minimal level of contribution to the ecosystem.

For Teams: Focus is on the relationship with Riot through the partner system. Maintain this relationship and there is no fear of losing status, even into 2027.

For players: Since there is no relegation, there is no incentive to try beyond the status quo. One simply needs to "stay on the team" to continue to exist in VCT. Best way to do that is to be friendly with coaching staff and managers.

I hope he didn't see the breeze game.

EG's last chance to not end the season 0-5. Next two games after this one are an insane level of difficulty.

This is sort of an ironic comment. You're arguing for new blood to be introduce to the team through an academy team but then hold on to d00mbr0s who is a relic of the past. Doesn't matter who is on the team if the ideas are stale from a bygone era.

The problem is that 100T thrive on defense. I know people just look at VLR stats in overview, but if you toggle attack and defense then you see the truth.

Ultimately that makes the decision to give them a comp that requires a good attack side was a fail.

I mean Sean Gares showed legit evidence of match fixing. He just lost the plot in the cheating accusations and that's what everyone remembers.

Ah yes, I remember when I used to feel this way.

2027 will make everything different. The walls of nepotism/cronyism will fall. Just hold out fam.

Watch his streams...

Asuna will do whatever you ask of him. Best teammate.

Patiently waiting...

Would it not be helpful? Not getting 13-2'd with 100 pages for 100 Thieves.

Are you okay? Welfare check.

Karma.

ASUNALUVR IS GOING CRAZY RIGHT NOW

Mitch going 3-0 with gf's playbook, sorry.

Poppin, you're not winning against vlr. They're undefeated. Even when you win, you lose.

-signed someone who lost to vlr.

100T won 4 attack rounds vs. SEN in regular play. Lost two attack rounds in OT to lose.

They lost because their read on the meta is defense heavy and they can't convert attack arounds. This is likely because it is easier to coordinate on defense because it's usually individual plays and reactions. Attack requires coordination among players to take space and scale as a team.

Their buy strategy is also in bad shape. They lose more ecos than their opponents and they are roughly 50% wr on gun rounds where they do buy.

If I'm d00mbr0s and Nbs, I'm practicing and teaching them how to work around ecos and mixed buys. That's where they need to learn to make up the difference in rounds.

Knicks are just the knicks.

cronyism, just be someone's friend and you're employed.

W announcement timing given their upcoming schedule.

If you're a young inspiring pro, Valorant isn't going to be the game for you. You will need to grind Valorant, become known to some degree and likely get in early for the next "BIG" game.

There are two different paths.

First, if you can get 5 people to play together, win premier (which is highly unlikely considering the cheating that goes on in premier), then some how get to ascension, win ascension, your team becomes pro if it doesn't get absolutely picked apart prior to getting to VCT.

Second, you play in Mr Funhaver tournaments, you get recruited into a tier 2 team, you attend a LAN or two, you personally do extremely well and place high or do well but your team consistently places top 3, you play for a long period of time, you get a tryout for a VCT team, do well in the tryout.

Each of these paths require EXTENSIVE networking with people and being the world's largest kiss ass unless you're a godly player winning LANs by yourself.

In 2027, there will be a BONUS path. That will be similar to the second path but since there will be cups, you have more opportunities now to show up at an Riot official cup or tournaments.

The only way ranked helps you, is if you network while playing ranked, befriend every good player you run into and become their best friend. To give you credit, you sort of identified this in your post.

Buddy. You've got the reading comprehension of Anderzzz. I never said Ascendant players would be considered for teams. God we are fkd as a society if you get anywhere close to a job.

I'm saying a legitimate team would not pick a player up solely based on ranked.

You would base your recruitment on LAN performance.

Put this into chatgpt and ask it to explain it at your reading level.

High ranked can be purchased. It would be insane for a legitimate team to consider this for a pickup. Online can be a nice to have but it cannot be the path. What if they got boosted? What if they played with a cheater? What if they cheated? Online is not a measurement of success. This might be your first FPS so I won't hold it against you.

Online ranks don't matter. You can get boosted and then pretend you're having an off day when you do bad.

Only LAN tournaments matter and how you perform in front of others in person.

Let me get my passport.

It's "passion" as vlr and reddit will tell you.

:)

Asuna can't read 100 pages. Add me.

It was a close game against SEN, probably one of my favorite games of the "rivalry", but it's still rinse, reuse and suffer for 100T.

I know I get meme'd on but have they done any better in the last year? Do they know where Icebox is yet? It's not in London.

The system is designed to provide a "fair game" experience for everyone. The "fair game" isn't an exclusive characteristic to you individually, it's for all 10 players in the server. That's where it breaks competitively. A fair game should be 10 people of equal skill.

What we get in ranked is, find 10 people, under a certain amount of time. Then in the server, balance the teams so they roughly equal each other. And over the course of "x" games, that variance is wild. And that variance (per what we know about modern match making where they use data to drive retention) is controlled.

Playing the game will make you better at playing the game.

Aim is a crutch that bails you out of like less than 5% of your situations. Playing methodically and with understanding is what makes you better. There's just nobody teaching this crazy and novel concept. But hey, here are the top 3 things radiant players do that you don't! Subscribe and join my discord... yada yada yada.

-signed a person with 4000 hours in aim training.

People still think rank is even teams fighting each other and if you're better, you move up.

How do you play for hundreds, if not thousands of hours and have this faith that you, not the system, is broken? I bet you think that if you work really really hard you too can be a millionaire.

Despite my biases...

That was a good a$$ series. Thank you to both teams.

To that dude who bet 700 on KRU

I think so.. I'm pretty sure you have to live in LA to do it.

How much do you think an analyst for VCT makes? And is it worth 3.5k viewership?
