my fear about furia is how addaptable they can be. they are on the top rn, which means they will be studied hard. can mazin come up with new strats? i hope so. he is exceeding my expectations IGLing

L bench c0m, potter

Edit i had misread and can't delete

dgzin and qw1

exactly! all they do is complain, but bR iS pLaYnG vIcTim

they literally say that the reason why are downvoting me is my flair. prejudice against a person of a certain country is the literal definition of xenophobia, but again, that's all in my victim playing head, obviously.

i guess if one doesn't accept the argument of a POC because of their ethnicity it's also not racism and if the hypothetical POC complained about prejudic they'd be playing victi, by their (really flawed) logic

i think they don't like seeing brazilians being against toxicity because it takes away the argument they use to justify their prejudice "Brazil bad toxic community death threat senders". when in reality there are MANY examples of death threat sent by troubled people from MANY regions. all regions have toxic people, unfortunately, including Brazil. a guy had the nerve to say in this thread that "only one region sends death threads". or he is brain dead, or he is prejudiced, or he is blind do facts

i totally agree that telling someone to commit suicide is not a death threat, but both things are absurdly toxic and shouldn't be done. i for one can proudly say i never said neither of those things to anyone. i am not so sure if the bastions of healthy community behavior replying "flag" above can. some of them are ones of the most toxic users in this forum, so i wouldn't be surprise.

people are downvoting alice_ #66 because she said the obvious: this site would be nice if people behaved normally and respectfully. this is the extent of their prejudice.

honestly is very tiring to try to argument with prejudiced people here, unfortunately there isn't a vlr forum for LATAM and br only, or else I would never open this shitty forum in my life

but about worrying, i already do not because as soon as I close this forum those toxic weirdos stop existing and their prejudice do not affect me at all.

when i am visiting foreign countries, including in NA and Europe, i am always well treated because i am very respectful with everyone i met and this kind of cowards normally hide behind anonymous websites like this. sure, xenophobia exists in the real world, but it's usually stronger against immigrants and i don't plan on living permanently my amazing, beautiful, naturally blessed country, so yeah, f those weirdos

appreciate your reply <3 thank

if i had one dollar for everytime someone were xenophobic I'd live living like a royal

#65 + i though he was talking about vlr users on other medias, like his DMs

yeah, must have been Brazilians harassing the guard and dapr on matters totally unrelated to us too

this is not cool. dislike shahzam as you want but telling someone to kill themselves is a huge no and he has every right to be mad about it

ETA: someone say is not ok to tell some to kill themselves and gets downvoted because brazilian flag 🫠🫠🫠🫠. soon the same people who did it will be telling br = toxic and that we are playing victims when we point out xenophobic behavior in this forum

agree, Derek > runi
about sacy and pancada, afaik, all players got an initial grading and were reviews weekly, losing, getting or keeping points. both of them lost grade because they performed bellow what was expected, i guess?

idk my personal opinion is: i think sacy as initiator is cracked and pancada is one of the best smoke players for sure, but in their new roles, so far they've been unremarkable. i am still to be convinced this is a good idea but maybe giving it time they'll feel more comfortable on their new roles

idk how noyn feels about them but i don't think his gradings necessarily means despite. i know there are some br fans that think they are traitors, but honestly this is immature and stupid, and noyn don't see seem to be neither, in my opinion

i must be silly since it made me laugh a little

i hope it happens and it would make me very happy, although i would miss NRG. i really like their gameplay and they have been to every lan since masters Berlin 2021

sacy and pancada had higher ratings on week 0, but they were downgraded since the grading is role based and they are not looking super comfortable on their current roles

sacy was something like 86 and pancada 89 or 90

agreed! also, he is, imo, the best harbor in the world, and harbor is strong on this meta

nem dá moral pra esse otário. maior troll hater de br desse fórum, só ignora esse lixo humano

Klaus and c0m are the only initiators with gradings bellow runi, no? 🤔

eta: and Derrek, but i think runi is also being better rated because he is IGLing

also it's role based so runi is not being directly compared to those players since they are duelists/sentinels

kingg was 90 last week iirc

blondes - 7
brunettes - 10
redhair - 8

isso soou meio gado mas não julgo pq já fiz o mesmo com jogadores e jogadoras atraentes

pra mim faria mais sentido que saad de segundo duelista, mas acho que a maioria dos IGLs prefere executar com o time para dad call em vez de roles que jogam mais solo/lurker tipo smoke/sentinela, então talvez tenha sido por isso que o manito tava jogando de raze nos mapas de 2 duelistas do lock/in

tuyz tem o melhor harbor do mundo, que tá super forte no meta. pode até ser que a LOUD mude as roles, mas nao acho que motivado por algo que desagradou no tuyz

7-10 weekly

thats fine. i am working so i can't rn too. if you ever want to understand something in portuguese from a brazilian streaming, clip it and hit me up with the link np :)

i do, thanks for explaining (and for calling me a nice person <3 i try my best to be one but i am a flawed human being so sometimes i don't succeed lol).

i was not aware of this other possible interpretation of "random". although I never used it in a mean way, i'll avoid it anyway from now on since it's ambiguous and i don't want to be perceived as mean

do you have any clip? i cant translate if you do

i didnt mean disrespect and i still dont understand why it is not ok. at least i wouldnt be offended to be called random (since i really am). why do you feel like its disrespectful to call ppl random? i dont want to be toxic, i srsly just want to understand your point better so i can avoid being accidentally toxic. tbh its the first time i hear it is not ok to call someone random

by calling him that, i just mean he is not a proplayer or (afaik) a streamer or caster. i just meant he does not have a known name.

idk, aspas dont seem to feel like was jokes (see #14)
tbh, i wasnt watching his stream when they were playing icebox, so i have no idea

isnt he? idk him, i though was a random

sage is again on his team (playing breach), aspas just said with sarcasm to saadhack "where is the toxicity that we saw on the last game? i dont see it"

yes, my point about scheduling was that i dont know NA teams schedule. i mentioned scrimmings in the afternoon because i now this is how teams usually do in brazil, but idk about NA, where loud is staying atm

i dont agree, ranked doesnt replace scrimming, but aspas has always been like that: when he is not scrimming, he is playing ranked. he lives, breaths and dreams of valorant.
afaik, most teams scrim during the afternoon/night, not the morning. at least in brazil, idk about NA

also rhyme is cute 😍

busted

1. less

let's be honest, he really is 😍

w

true. but its better for furia to be underrated and prove everyone wrong in the end

exactly. content creators from all regions are biased. what bothers me is when a brazilian do it, its toxic, when emea does it, its banter

they won against LEV after the power rank that put furia in 5th, tho

i understand that, it was frustating for me too.
but tbh i only notice it happening early on. after playoffs, there was crowd for every match. yeah, more for brazilian and latam teams, yeah, some people left early to enjoy carnival, but there was still an ok amount of people, at least in my opinion.

imo, the problem is: lock/in was a really long tournament, there was many many games and i think its natural that people prioritized "better games" (end of tournament/teams they like). most people i know that went to lock/in had to travel or get a unpaied day off, so why would they want to see RRQ x FUT for such a high price?

we never had and probably never will, since lock/in was unique, a tournament as long as we had, so this was a new problem.

i do know but its still very different about third world country realities. i know greece has struggled many times, but you guys are EU members, you dont have to deal with having a currency that is worth nothing, for example. i dont want to dismiss greece's or other poorer european countries struggles, but yeah, you guys are usually not the one perpetuating hate agasint third world countries anyway. maybe because you can relate more, idk. but even on poorer countries, there's still can happen racial stuff. idk if greeks are seem as white in europe, but people from balkans/eastern europeans usually are (maybe not? in brazil they'd be white, but racial reading varies in different contexts) while we are still brown. even people considered white in brazil are seem as POC in US and EU.

and about being called poor by indians and brazilians, there are trolls and toxic people everywhere. i'd love to be poor in greece, seems like a lovely country, with amazing history and food. (ETA: "poor", i mean in the sense i am poor in brazil, i'd prefer to be poor in EU member country with lovely beaches and all. but it was insensible since idk about poor greeks reality)

i think its pretty dumb to generalize a region because there are toxic people from there, there are rotten people everywhere. i see you are smart, tho, so i expected more

maybe not openly in this forum, but i dont think its a coincidence, and i do believe there are socioeconomic and racial prejudices that lead to people from some regions (poor regions) being more hated here, like brazil and india, as you mentioned in HLTV. and even NA and EMEA, who love to bicker each other, but truly have a more frenemy relationship in valorant, unite against poor regions. dont you think this is driven by racism?

ETA: i 100% agree with using Sao Paulo as an example. but here socio-economics play a part again, because although i think its ugly the crowd vanished to see fnatic crowning winners, a lot of people explained some stuff that were ignored: food was expansive and people were hungry, it was hot as hell, i saw a lot of people complaining about feeling dizzy and watching the game from outside the gynasium on their cellphones, the whole thing about transportation etc. obviously if loud won people would stayed. you endure more for the things you like, as the team you support. all those things are valid reasons that people from richer country dont seem (or dont want to) grasp. i still think its embarassing for brazil, but i can relate to the reasons that lead to it, while NA and EMEA just dont (or dont even try to listen, in some cases. some people really hate us and just want more fuel to do so. not everyone. every region has bad apples and i am not gonna make the same mistake some does of generalizing)

honestly, we all are sore losers here, including EMEA. did you forget about how old FPX cried like babies because of riot's ruling on XSET turret?

but yeah, brazil is a sore loser too, NA too, LATAM too, pacific too. sore losers all over the globe, and i am included in this.

honestly, although i used old FPX as an example, the players are usually way more mature than the public about losing. we are the crybabies. this forum specially is a never ending source of tears. we all here do things we dislike when done against us. we all should be better.

eu vi que o rank do noyn repercutiu muito no cenário fem, mas galera com todo respeito, pq o rank de uma pessoa qualquer incomoda tanto? não é um portal, uma empresa, é UMA pessoa, e que não tem relevância alguma, wtf

but i believe and cheer for mibr anyway <3
