If you're talking hardware degradation, it depends on the make, but you're looking at 5+ years. Laptops are quite hardy nowadays if you don't abuse them. The 4070 laptops usually run Valorant at 400fps max settings when given proper juice, so you'd have quite some headroom.
If you're talking consecutive hours of use, heat will be the primary bottleneck. 240fps @ 1080p is not particularly demanding to maintain, but you may have to consult specific reviews to see their thermal performances.
Something with 4070/7800XT minimum if you want to reliably squeeze 240fps from a laptop. Get something large and beefy and well-ventilated, but at that point, might as well get a real PC. Something like this will run you 1000 bucks, which honestly, is a decent deal, considering the GPU itself still costs upward of 600 nowadays.
If you're not price conscious, the Legion 5i is probably everything you could ask for in a laptop. Probably much better value than a PC of equivalent hardware. Of course, you compromise upgradeability always.
What is UAE bro yapping about? Why haven't you bought an EU roster yet?
I've seen dudes on pacemakers and even they are not exempted. It's nigh impossible to skip NS without a proper excuse in SG. Maybe it's something psychological or mf has some spine issues. Anyway, hope it doesn't come up during his career.
Holy shit traitor arc going wild. If SEN wins with one the Bronzils should disown him.
Probably very soon. They have the best professional esports systems in the world. PRX is great and all, but Alecks has exposed his limitations and hubris.
So is SEN. But then, the exception is not the norm.
Real. I usually tune out of Masters because of sheer boredom. There are only around 5-6 elite teams out of 12/16, so the chance of having actual good matchups early on is non-existent.
This one I watched every match and was left quite satisfied with each. The EDG game just now was the worst, but at least it was fast.

I like this 8-team format for the first event of the year. It feels exclusive and intimate, there are no bottom tier shitters (China bros...), every game matters and makes sense narratively. Swiss is much more fun than groups, and with only 8 teams it feels just right.
He's no Jingg, but he's warming up. I still don't see the virtues of his Raze, but not bad all around.
Bad tournament for them. The chinese has a proper split to do soul-searching. Honestly, I'm convinced with that size of a gaming population, CN will get there no matter what.
Monyet still shit, and PRX still overheated. Man, it's hard to breathe for Alecks.
What an unmitigated monster. You can't fuck with this man. F0rsaken plays anything to the absolute peak potential, he'll top your dad too if they share the same server.
So fucking bad that last round was won if he could click his ulti right.
Something is going to singlehandedly bring this gun to pro play. Looks absolutely broken in his hand.
It is what it is. EU is still divided between CS & Valorant. With Overwatch on deathwatch, Americas playerbase is eating better than ever.
Jingg will not come back, he's from upper class Singaporean. His parents are filthy rich. He'll go to university and get a cushy job afterward.
I know it's hard to go from the best Raze in the world to a GE-level Raze, but PRX really has to retire this pick imo. Doesn't do Monyet any favour at all. He's absolutely griefing right now. Every ulti, every satchel, every bomb has been shit by him.
Umironically will be good for them.
He's been shit all along, but now's he's warmed up and unlocked. It's doomed for all. The Moneyman is back.
PRX lost their star player, while EDG went through a hyperbolic training arc last off-season. It's an expected result.
It is a thought, but I think he's happy where he is. In a roster with his countrymen and hours away from home.
Also, I don't think he has to either. APAC is a gold mine of gaming talents. They have the Asian grindset and unlike CN/KR/JP, they speak English, and can actually form mixed-country rosters.
On a team with Jing and f0rsaken, it's hard to top frag. I know, it's hard to fathom, but there are only so many kills in a game.
I never claimed he is the best, I said he's the most valuable. Important distinction. Can't find a flex player who frags like him, while contributing to strat building and IGLing.
He'll never come back. He is Singaporean and apparently quite well-off. He'll go to university or some shit.
I'm convinced f0rsaken is the most valuable player in the world, in the sense that you can add him to any workable roster and it's an instant upgrade. Sad that the team is choking, and Monyet turned out to be shit, but f0rsaken's been an unmitigated monster today.
His team is good, so he's allowed to play the game. Also he had 6 months to adapt to the new role.
I've not seen a good Phoenix since Jingg. Kinda a bait pick. He doesn't really play like a duelist at all.
They'd easily find a decent enough player to replace him with, he's the best Raze in the world, but still just one player.
Lock in doesn't matter. It's more of an expository event. Teams were still barely finalised then.
But honestly, EMEA is supposed to have 3 premier teams coming into Champions. Both TL and Na'Vi hard choked, and the punishing format sees them both booted.
I'd still expect upward of 3 contenders from EMEA every year, it's just been a tumultuous year for them.
He's arguing for jawgemo, not against ethan.
It's simply about the level of interest. Otherwise, I'm convinced if the Chinese want to win any esport title at all, they will.
Everything is nerfed. Seems the utils became a bit wild for their taste. Glad they had the onus to pull the level back down after a year of power creep.
More games should do this, btw. Nerf everything to lower the overall power level.
They would clear every T1 EU team not named FNC or Na'Vi atm.
Termi really just sandbagged map pick yesterday so they can shatter EMEA's dreams and hopes AGAIN. Ruthless.
On a different note, DRX is the most inconsistent consistent team ever. Might be served with a competitive ruling for this one.
Give them a break, it's a heart-wrenching map 3, they needed to let it off their chest. They've been graceful losers yesterday, I'm sure they will have great words for their opposition today too, when all settles down.
If Forsaken plays CS now, he'd also be winning nothing. It's the simple matter of standards. Boom could afford to fuck around, but GE is in a franchise. They've got to carry their weight.
EG and DRX might turn up, but the 3 above are the lore canon, imo. They've all dominated their respective leagues, and came into franchise as the poster child of their regions.
Feels bad for the CIS folks. Could've gotten a team or two into franchising, if not for the war. Hope they get their shot elsewhere. I'm glad APAC orgs are picking them up from T2/T3.
Except the next 2 maps are their best maps yet. It's joever.
I love both of these teams man. I can't watch this shit any longer. Ping me when it's over boys.
