yes but this team lacks flexibility with a purely smokes player. So, Sacy is there to be a sort of "2nd flex" kind of role, and his co-IGL skill will be put to use frequently. It's not about being the best at something individually, it's about how the team will function with the players they are given, and I think a trade-off for a slightly less experienced player for a better aimer is something you want to go for on a team like this. Not to say Marved is that much worse. I just like the all in on aim aspect, and Demon1 can learn smokes for SURE, and he can win rounds that Marved can without experience due to his incredible aim. It's just a trade-off for a better aimer, and saadhak would be able to show him how to Omen as well. I wanted a content aim team a little more than a fundamental team, because they're boring as shit.

Demon1 can play smokes, no need for marved.

Because, Xerxia's game was never int'l worthy, scraping by because of the lack of competition. To the world champion's eyes, and to many others, that's just a tier two team with no competition due to lack of good talent put together, but them. Not to say that they were undeserving of an international tourney, but they certainly didn't earn being there through hard work to become a better team. Every tourney they just showed up, won a game, and got knocked out. That happened consistently, and that makes them a tier two team for me.

You're asking the wrong website about this, but he's 🌈 in some kind of way. Be it, Bi, Gay, Pan, etc. it's one of those.

https://www.vlr.gg/84373/optic-gaming-vs-xerxia-esports-valorant-champions-tour-stage-1-masters-reykjav-k-opening-b Man, this team must suck cause they lost to some tier two APAC team.

Do you see how dumb this argument sounds now? "because this team lost to another team that's way below their skill level, they must suck" isn't valid cause upsets happen, and in a smaller scene like GC, teams will go unsigned for a while, get good, and beat other teams, without getting signed because GC isn't looked at as often as the male dominated tier 1 valorant.

I have:
-Got some female and male friends and actually interact with them on a daily basis.

How I see it, gender has nothing to do with any kind of bond. I am just as good friends with girls as I have with guys, 5 stacks with only girls feels the same as a 5 stack with guys. I have no idea what you're yapping about on this one.

"Women aren't as try-hard as men" is wrong, women can and will be competitive, ESPECIALLY WHEN THEIR BANK ACCOUNT RELIES ON IT, but even when it doesn't, we still want that elo, and gender isn't a factor that will make people want it more/less.

"If you still dont believe gender plays a role in bonds, then ggs for you." ??? It literally does not. Your bond with a dude is just as strong as a bond with a girl. Yeah, maybe their views on life, perception on what gaming is to them, and much more is different, but guess what? That's cause they're different people. Crazy, I know.

"It is generally agreed upon that men's friendship is much stronger than female friendship, this translates to other stuff too." Says literally who? If you think guys have better friendships than girls, why? Girls have very good friendships, and I see this everyday, as me and my group of friends 5 stack very frequently, and I see their positivity and comfortability with each other every time we 5 stack.

"It is hard to explain until you've actually played as a 5 stack with women and just men." I have, and I kinda understand why you think that? You're (probably) thinking that because women are not as angry or unhappy about losing a round, bad whiffs, etc. And shrug it off (ex: "ohhh, nice try", or things like "don't worry about it, it happens to the best of us"). Men on the other hand are less like that when 5 stacking with friends, as men talk about things that women don't think about, have different boundaries, and much more that effect the way they answer to a bad play or whiff (ex: "bro... what did I just see?", or "please bleach my eyes"), because the boundaries set are different between genders. But, even if boundaries are different amongst genders or people, that doesn't stop your friendship status in any way.

Overall, dooooooooogshit take.

how could I forget, Elevated/Valorant Ascended and Sovereign Guides/Airen

I don't love their content but they're probably chill people:
Jollz
SchrodingerLee
sagemommy/jettdaddy, more jettdaddy though cause his valorant accent rubs me the wrong way
sena (sometimes your advice isn't that great, but i'm sure he's an ok human)
People I have it OUT for:
jiyuval, hoooooly shit you are not funny, when you make the same joke every video it's bound to be boring
Curry (smurf content is the reason you're not on a pro team nerd)
Skillcapped (fuck you, not even good advice 80% of the time)
ProGuides (fuck you, not even good advice 80% of the time)
every other company channel like the two above (fuck you, not even good advice 80% of the time)

mahal kita 🥰

MrLowlander, TMV, Sliggy, Sean "sean 'sgares' gares" Gares, and woohoojin off the top of my head.

skuba, verno, aproto, N4RRATE and poised could be a dream T2 team

Didn't TL make a video addressing soulcas' anxiety on the big stage?

unironically more excited for this than I ever was for any champs game. this shit is so much fun to theorize n shit with

I'm a PRX fan, and I think that EG didn't de- just kidding lmao, Na'Vi🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I do too, but the players talking mad shit on twitter or X made me go from a fan to disliking them :\ yeah sure they backed their shit talk up, but still shit talking an under-developed region is a huge dick move and made me dislike the team for their star player and IGL. HUGEEEEE dub for C0M, DAWGEMO, and Ethan though.

downvoted cause 0-16 but okay

EG 1-2 PRX, cry more

how did that flash NOT catch??? and of course they didn't replay the round 💀

respecting a good team is also free, as a hardcore PRX fan. LOUD played well, and honestly looked like the better team, but PRX just won more crucial rounds. GGs to both teams, and I hope to see a rematch at the grand finals.

LOUD kiNgg...

Here's a number combo that scares you though

0-16

by this logic every chinese and APAC team is cringe by default cause they play, on average, faster than EMEA and NA? Are you, like, mentally sane?

this has got to be bait, right? Maybe KJ said a ton of other things before that moment and that was the final straw, or KJ has been micromanaging the whole game, OR smth knows he's done something (lmao) wrong, and is not willing to hear what is already going through his mind. No need to jump to conclusions over a mute.

LEV 3-1 KRU
I guarantee you 1 overtime map
1 blowout game (13-4 or less)
1 close game (13-9 or 13-11)

C9 2-0 to 2-3 LEV
Congrats on getting reverse sweeped, woooo!!!!!!

well I can't edit it now, but I forgot to put the word "win" between "crazy" and "gives". I was sleepy leave me alone

TS 3-1 GENG
OT on maps 2 and 3
1 of TS's maps is not a blowout but not a close map, probably between 13-6 and 13-9
Edit: fuck man my OT preds :(

??? hfmi0dgjc9z7 & SORRYMYBAD clears tf

"I'm not sure I have time to read that right now."
"That's a lot to read, can you give me a summary?"

"THIS IS VALORANT MOTHERFUCKER" gives the same energy as "WHAT THE FUCK IS A KILOMETER?!" and I don't know why

LEV 3-2 C9, this crazy gives LEV enough confidence to beat KRU 3-1 and make it to Champs.

(if C9 get two bans)
C9 ban Bind
C9 ban Pearl
LEV pick Haven
C9 pick Lotus
LEV pick Split
C9 pick Ascent
Fracture remains

(if C9 get one ban)
C9 ban Bind
LEV ban Lotus
C9 pick Ascent
LEV pick Pearl
C9 pick Fracture
LEV pick Haven
Split remains

(this is definitely wrong)

Sen played well, bro's just hating to hate. Bro would not post something like this for the loser of KRU vs LEV, so why for SEN?

Wailers just like me frfr

yikes

Doja Cat, everyone else said the other people I listen to (ex. Kendrick, Tyler, Bruno Mars, etc.)

honestly anyone's opinion gets completely invalidated if they have a FNATIC flair.

M: Kendrick Lamar
W: Dua Lipa (I could've sworn I listened to more Laura Brehm, guess not)
H: Cooking, Rocket League, Valorant, MC.

5: TMV and NerdTMV

Nothing like Ethan Boostio'ing into her JAWGEMO on his Demon1 time to make your mom C0M.

what a goat

by far the best EMEA team oat, but can't ever be happy about it? lmao

Nice to meet you, where you been?
I could show you incredible things
Magic, madness, heaven, sin
Saw you there and I thought
"Oh, my God, look at that face
You look like my next mistake
Love's a game, wanna play?" Ay
New money, suit and tie
I can read you like a magazine
Ain't it funny? Rumors fly
And I know you heard about me
So hey, let's be friends
I'm dying to see how this one ends
Grab your passport and my hand
I can make the bad guys good for a weekend
So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over, mm
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
'Cause you know I love the players
And you love the game
'Cause we're young, and we're reckless
We'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless, mm
Or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
But I've got a blank space, baby
And I'll write your name

boaster dancing and singing this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oo7MtzbOXLM&t=2s&pp=ygURYm9hc3RlciB0aGUgZmVlbHM%3D

"Yo, I haven't seen any clips of what you said happening, can you show me?"
"No"
"Why not?"
"I know how you ratzam viewers work'
"I will be the first person to agree with your statement if you send me a clip"
"No"
"Why"
"You'll defend him and make shit up"
???? I lost so many brain cells

FNC lose to LOUD in the uppers and then to PRX in the lower in an upset, then PRX 3-1 LOUD.
