No one is better than my Mongolian youth

Yeah that's a pretty good analogy. She probably needs at least a few seasons in T2 before her decision making is up to the standard you'd want from a duelist

But her decision making is kinda ass. She pops off in GC cuz literally no one can touch her mechanically. But as soon as she gets put against players who are more than like 3/4 of her mechanical skill and are smart enough to punish her she just gets shut down and can't do anything because she makes tons of mistakes and misplays that go unpunished in GC because everyone is either too scared or not good enough to actually do anything about her playing like a smurf

SEN ain't even the best NA team all time lil bro

GENERATIONAL 1V3 CLUTCH FROM HIM, HE'S THE GOAT

Internet Explorer ass coaching staff

Buddies haven't read the patch notes in a solid year

Yeah just feels like SR has zero competition regionally or internationally it genuinely is a one team league

raderth >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Le0 on Sova undisputable

Some of the brainlets I've seen on this site would see this and probably claim the study was fake because it disagrees with them

Who were the best players at anchoring sites this year?

Imo some of the candidates are probably benjyfishy, Alfajer, yetujey, Meteor, Karon, Cryo (when he's on smokes), leaf, tex, CHICHOO and Smoggy

If you get killed by Jett or Raze in a head to head gunfight it's more often than not because they out aimed you

If you get killed by Neon in a head to head gunfight it feels like you were powerless to do anything because she just has a free advantage over you and your only counterplay is just to play passive and never take a single risk ever which is just boring as fuck

2 times master winner > GC player

Very insightful and well thought out take, must've taken you a while to ponder this one

I am fucking PRAYING that Team Spirit or Virtus.pro enter Valorant and we finally get to foster some Russian talent again because it feels like since 2022 the region hasn't been producing talent at the same rate

There's a third type

Schizo IGL'ing

This is the category ANGE1 falls under

Didn't aspas exclusively play duelist in Champs 2022?

Unfathomably based take

Yee I'll get them on the phone now

I would like to humbly request that when you see a post or thread made by Smartest_Fan, do not reply to it, upvote or downvote it. Ignore this user until they get bored

ARE YOU ASLEEP?

TL are ending 6th in EMEA at best

I'm trynna think of some weird shit on each map and I was wondering what vlr was thinking

cloudberry they're the goat of giving reasonable and measured takes

Boring ass game where they completely gutted the melee mechanics which were by far the most fun and most effective way to play and they made the guns overpowered, so so much of the game is just sitting back and spamming the guns while barely even moving

Devil May Cry 3 is the peak of gaming tho

Devil May Cry 2

He could until stage 1

Then he fell off a clip

If N4RRATE stays on sentinel then I feel like SEN might just become a zekken and friends team

In 2024 their aggressive reclears, execs and team fights were pretty much a 2 man job of zekken on duelist and TenZ on Omen or flash initiator

bang is a WAY more passive Omen player than TenZ and Zellsis doesn't have the firepower to be the aggressive flash initiator player

So if N4RRATE is kept on sentinel and is delegated to lurking and isn't enabled to be aggressive then all of SEN's aggression will hinge on zekken

zekken's good enough for the team to find some regional success with this formula but as soon as they get deep in playoffs or make it to an international it'll look like Abyss vs TH again if they keep N4RRATE on sentinel

Pretty sure they won't but it's the same IGL and coach that kept running Cypher Deadlock despite it never fucking working

Lotus is alright but I hate defending on it

Sunset is decent after the B changes

Abyss is the worst map in any FPS since Tower in R6

Alfajer gotta be mad tilted he finally gets to play something other than sentinel when hiro comes in only to immediately get put back in KJ and Cypher jail when Leo comes back

Look at dev1ce during the peak of Astralis

Man was ice cold

Obelisk ain't live (he is the stinkiest VCC player ong)

You say that but just wait till this actually happens in Champs 2025

RieNs with 14/65

Champs finals is KC vs TH, with the Paris crowd obviously rooting for KC

KC win the first map 13-4

KC win the second map 18-16

KC go up 12-3 on the third map

Wo0t is left in an impossible 1v5 and pulls out the most ridiculous clip in all of Valorant history

TH then comes back all the way to win the third map 15-13

TH then 13-0 the fourth map

TH then win the final map 31-29 in the greatest series of Valorant ever played

Come back to this

Bro there's a reason babybay's ass is casting nowadays

He realised he ain't built for this

The state of bait is truly sad

number_1_cNed_fan and babysasuke? Washed
Asuna_Yukki and Yessirski? Banned
number_2_cNed_fan and TheAceGamer30? Retired from baits
sentinelmain and EMEAStan? Vanished

Now all we're left with is retards like dort, Azzelastia and KClaw, and there's no one equally mentally retarded as them around that disagree with them like swyvboi so it's just a circle jerk of rage baiting normal people rather than a back and forth.

What happened to the VLR I loved?

Honestly baffled as to why they didn't try and get Galorys' IGL tbh

It'll always be Gambit tbh

Me when I have kiNgg natanK and tex and am entering an Astra meta and still decide Demon1 is the guy to put on Raze instead of any one of those 3

aspas kinda looky too

Also on an unrelated note I was watching some yt video about a guy roasting his viewers dating profiles and one guy looked exactly like aspas it was uncanny asf

Holy fucking shit it's the better cNed fan

Idk about which meta was healthier but Neon is way more annoying to play against

Chamber at least fundamentally felt like he was playing the same game as me he was just overtuned to hell and back

Finished Neon merchant is truly finished

o7

Not too bad, still think the buzz cut helped him look less comical. He's my goat but bro does NOT look intimidating at all

Nah fuck u this is abuse

Cooked by babysasuke, I might as well retire

He's the KRIMZ of baiting on vlr buddy's WASHED

Bro... you didn't have to do me like that

I'm just trying to see how quickly I can summon babysasuke ngl

I hope ur prostate hurts tonight
