I wonder when VLR will finally get a proper ranking system, something closer to what the other well-known game and their website have. I know this has been discussed a million times before, but it just crossed my mind again after a few years, and it honestly feels like almost nothing has changed since then. Though my bad if I missed any official news from the developers regarding this.

Chronically online loser, you have 9400 posts on this platform only spreading hate. If you hate so many things in this world at some point you must look inward. You hate yourself and the life you live so instead of sitting in that feeling you constantly project those feelings to the world and things around you. I know you haven’t made a single notable achievement in your life so you cannot begin to understand what it is like at the highest level of anything. Usually if you have no understanding of something the best way to proceed is to keep quiet.

-220 frags only because too many people recognize themselves in this description lmao

yea, loud is an expection, that team was great

i would agree if that was true, but 2024 sen was a really great roster. now its mega inconsistent

who cares, up to this day champs is just a tourney for fluke one-time lucky winners

u're baiting or trolling or didnt see any matches. he was whiffing easy shots, super inconsistent plays. It was obvious that personal issues were having too much of an impact on his performance and confidence. trying to justify it is delusional

You've built your argument around some false takes: "vast majority of Tenz fans is people who watch competitive Valorant," and "people will change their idol real quick."

Yes, his initial boost in popularity came from that, but the main wave and growth came from his streams, YouTube, viral one-tap clips, and insanely viral clips with Kyedae. Tenz has long been more than just the "Glorious NA GOAT who brought home champs", his personality and personal life have played just as big a role for a while now. It's a different level of media presence compared to all other pro players and unique coincidence of factors (like having a wife who is in the top 5 streamers for Valorant).

As for the idea that champions only get a few thousand views - I never said that wouldn't happen. It will, but it’ll only be a few thousand at most, not consistent tens of thousands like Tenz. That’s a different level. (Aspas is more of an exception here because the competition among famous pro Valorant players in that language market is much lower).

I'm talking about his growth as a media personality ONLY if he keeps playing and stays involved in Valorant. If he quits the game, of course, he won’t remain the face of it. But similarly, you can't say for sure that he will quit. There are more factors pointing to the opposite – staying with Sentinels as a content creator, mentioning that he'll do watch parties – this all indicates that he's going to continue building his presence.

Being in the top 5 Valorant media personalities for 2-3 years is a long period, especially considering how short most players' careers are and how hard it is to stay on top. Again, if Tenz wants to continue growing in Valorant as a content machine, he’ll be a media giant for more than just 2-3 years. Right now, he's easily top 2 after Tarik, and there's no one even close to challenging that spot.

Nah bro, it seems like that is you who don’t fully understand how the world works and how media power operates. The majority of people who play Valorant don’t care about Esports or are only minimally interested. You could win a championship and still only have a few thousand people on your stream.

Everything is determined by your media presence, and Tenz has the strongest out there. He had more viewers on his streams than Tarik (not including watch parties yet). He has the potential to become an even bigger media giant, especially if he starts doing more IRL content, watch parites and developing his own brand. In the eyes of the people, he’s already a legend with two Masters titles and Riot is financially invested in ensuring that people like Tenz remain among the main faces of Valorant.

Look at any industry, like music, sports, or film - you don’t have to be the best statistically, by critics' ratings, or in the opinion of professionals to be the face of the industry and have the largest fan base or media presence. If he decides to quit streaming Valorant, then yeah, his media presence and status will lose some strength. But if he doesn’t, he’ll stay at the top of Valorant views, mentions, and fanbase for a long time. Don't be delusional bro

nobody will forget him. he’s going to start creating even more content now, continue playing Valorant, doing watch parties, etc. His media presence among Valorant fans will only grow - so he’ll be the face of the game, if not forever, then for a very long time.

ridiculously offensive? ar u serious?

no, just a co-streamer

bro just looked at stats fr

yeah, they hate each other so much that he bought him a fucking Rolex

different people = different fans. there are a lot of kids who don't know how esport works.

SEN in great form, it is obvious. however we don't know the true level between regions.

ok bro, its your opinion. but I wouldn't be so sure about fraud\fluke allegations, it's too soon.

of course they were better, who's arguing? i am not downplaying their achievements, they're currently the best team.

I'm just saying that it's not the final NRG form. demon1 was playing very bad and he is their main carry. he whiffed A LOT shots, some OP shots, hard whiff on Tenz at sunset A main, guardian on Long on Ascent and so on. maybe its you need to rewatch the vods kid.

he was playing horribly, and yet they still managed to dominate SEN on Ascent and almost won on Sunset, insane TenZ's 3k kept them alive. after that, you CAN'T really talk about "outclassing" and "fraud" because its delusional.

i'm also a SEN fan, but let's be real

their best player (demon1) had very bad series. objectively, it would have been 2-0 if he hadn't whiffed nearly all 1-on-1 situations. he is definetely not a fraud, to soon to speak about that

but currently sen is a best team with the best form, and i am happy for that

And why wouldn't they want to develop their brand across all regions? What is this post even about? These are obvious things.

sometimes I don't think that people who post this type of shit are real

he is good, just mid with OP

if NRG won pistol on attack...

?

messi is an undeniable football goat, s1mple is undeniable cs go goat

it should be messi = s1mple

they will still have their best form ever even if it will become worse

there are no real conversations on this topic. any disagreeing is invariably labeled as phobic.

looks more like a brain damage tho

why u're wasting your time? go make another shit topic. pathetic

imagine cheering up for a team but talking so much shit about one player because of bad perfomance in one match. pathetic

fr, what is bro waffling about. only sarah was playing ok

or its a bait)) IMO, he will be on starting roster

no. because consistency and won titles carry more weight than poor results in one team. you are taking into account the tier 2 team, in which there were numerous changes in the lineup and team strategy, and he also joined not at the beginning of the season. it's very naive to expect results in such conditions. he played at a top level in 21 and 22 and was one of the best. In 22, he adapted to the meta better than anyone else. so it's too many achievements to talk about fluke\fraud

no, he has repeatedly demonstrated his high level. if a player is good, it doesn't mean he will perform at the same level in all teams.

it's the typical vlr Valorant esports "guru". imagine bro thinks he knows everything about pro play and teamwork. hilarious delusion

bro can now retire from vlr

no strats 💀

And who decides what those boundaries are? It will always be a subjective matter. The main thing is for trash talk not to turn into personal insults, like appearance or personal life, etc.

Less was good even in the moments when Loud didn't perform well

lmao, I guess now they can stop post shit about Navi

ok bro, sorry for trash talk

if he has the right to his public opinion, then everyone has the right to their reaction to it. You can't just pass by because today's exaggerated tolerance is just a wild shit. Trash talk has always been, is, and will be part of the games – it absolutely shouldn't have any backstories. If a player wants to behave like that, it's entirely within their rights, and it only adds to the atmosphere and fuels the fire in any case.

apparently it was a bait

really, what did Tarik say about yay and marved?

song starts good, but pre-chorus and chorus are not working well

surprised how bad the knife is. vandal is nice tho

omg, Shahzam haters are the biggest creeps. wtf did he do to you to be such a toxic shit

wtf ar u saying, it's only about 3:0

no, but I never saw this shit about mwzera

so thats is troll copypasta? ok

undoubtely the best player in the world and you are considering ranked\deathmatch stats? lmao, pro play is a totally different environment.

and also he didn't show his insane and best raze gameplay in pro play.

moreover, u don't need raze if you can win tournaments with jett only. jett abuser? everyone have the same conditions, no one forbids you to be the best jett and win tournaments. it's jett meta - and thats it.
