idt both of u understand what went down, sen tried to bootcamp for stage 2 challengers but there were some issues (maybe sick family issues since it started way before than what we were told) so they had to call it off. Its unfortunate what had happened so the only way to fix it was to bootcamp for lcq which c9 did last year and became the best team in NA for a brief period

(sources : shahz stream)

probably the most passive jett in NA but still makes it work, he still does excellent work at entrying and creating space but its not as explosive as people like sayaplayer, leaf, tenz etc. I mean u dont really have to create space when u have a human body bag in victor who is willing to take entry duels on any agent he plays lmaoo

you dont have to be suffering from manic depression to feel mentally bad, not everyone has the same mental capacity to take their sad situations and view them in a slightly more positive manner. Some people are more sensitive than others (whether ur an adult or not) and idr him saying he "recovered" he said he got better, so ig people who feel better after knowing they have cancer have recovered from cancer now? and btw so called "casual sadness" can be too much for some people coz well everyone has different views (omg no way right? its almost like we are all not the same)

documentary of how shownu got this disgusting ratio

u could say the same about tenz, obviously he isnt playing that well but he is still putting up crazy numbers for a team that went 0-5 in group stage and a team which has barely any structure. He won them a map againt LG without any kind of help from his tmmates and sure alfajer was mowing down people but he has gotten considerably better after he joined fnatic

thats like saying yay isnt top 5 when he was on abx because his team was dogshit lmfaoo, you cant realize how good a player somebody is until they play with a really structured team, look at alfajer or yay (previously mentioned) or sayaplayer none of them were top 5 in their old roster but when they got into an actual team with good structure and a team that could play around them all of a sudden they are top 5

that boy hunter mims gonna hit hard when hes back tho

actual fatherless behaviour

-8/8

i wasnt complaining, just wanted to know if anybody knew why they werent streaming

prac is good but will sen ever be the same without sicK on the roster, i understand he isnt that good on smokes but he was a top flex in NA and can play primary duelist in some maps but we will just have to wait and see ig

Any news about sicK? will he be playing for the team in LCQ

also shahz and tenz havent streamed in 2 or 3 days (only dapr streamed for like 3 or 4 hrs i think) any idea why?

jeez, theres no such thing as fluke teams, a team loses when the other team plays well or if the other team plays better than u they win, its as easy as that theres no fluke teams especially in international tournments

yes i agree with that, NA is probably the most egoistical region but that doesnt justify him calling the entire region dogshit and that they are gonna die soon especially coz they just won the most recent international tourney

FNS is probably the best IGL in the world rn (considering they won the previous international tourney) and there are good "cs boomers" who are exceptionally good and have really indepth view on valorant, take Vanity or Steel or Hazed as an example, NA valorant needs these so called boomers who can pass down their knowledge so the younguns can learn from them, you cant just say the old cs players need to retire because a lot of them(like vanity) didnt get the opportunity to get into tier 1 cs no matter how hard they tried

you literally didn't have to talk shit about an entire region because of a player from cs did something bad (allegedly), NA valorant wont die anytime soon especially with teams like Optic, EG, FaZe, 100T, NRG because they actually work really hard for everything and grind a lot of valorant and what that means is what u said about NA val being doomed in a year or so unless youngbloods do smthng is irrelevant coz youngbloods in NA are ALREADY doing a lot of good things to move forward

Wait, Florescent sounded like a 18 year old boy. Am I missing something here?

eu doesnt realize how goated phoenix is, phoenix top 3 agent rn no cyap ong(grandma)

it seems reading is hard for you too because i only stated that sin and tenz play different roles and it isnt fair to compare them and also he dropped a 40 and multiple 30s (only reason he is "one tricking" right now is because his team wants him to play the agents jett)

will do thorking1234567899

that was the worst comparison ever, tenz and sinatraa has different agent pool and are comfortable in different roles (tenz would shit on sin with jett, neon, chamber, yoru and reyna), a fair comparison would be with either sick or kanpeki and even then you cant really say he is better coz he hasnt played pro for years, he could be dogshit for all we know. TLDR : We cant say he is better or worse or will make sen better until he actually plays for sen (which i hope happens)

that match was not proper valorant, it was about who could throw the least, 0 discpline by both teams, ego peeks were peaking, duelists trying to get clips but failing miserably but both their site takes were better than i expected in split but both their defenses were absolute garbage

After seeing how close EG and GE are, I have 0 hope for GE against AE

NA isnt random, its just teams are really closely matched and one team is better one week but then the other team comes up with new strats and they become the best and that cycle is still going on, so basically theres no team that is dominant in NA like FNC but that might be a good thing because it forces others and themselves to get better

thats what i was saying as well, if they come up with new strats even just small small things, they can compete against fnc

they dont have diverse strats with each map, they have really really good fundamentals and really polished strats even tho the amount of strats they have is pretty low but if they work on that and start testing out new comps, they can contest fnc but fnc still has superior firepower

true, derke and alfajer are actually different

ik this is just troll but fnatic is probably the team with the best strats and they are tactically ahead of every team rn (atleast from what i have seen from them this stage)

Its probably fnatic right? they are god tier on every map and we might finally see a fnatic masters win

im one of the rare few indians who had a pc growing up, i had it right from when i was 3 and we changed it every year or so

he did yoru pretty well and he can do chamber and maybe even raze better if his team can assist him better

that was coz cned was oping, its not just 100t who do that and cned isnt the only player, teams used to figure out where tenz was go to to the other site on masters 1 2021 too

my post wasnt to show hate towards SA teams (im sorry if it came out that way), my point is top Indian teams are majorly underperforming and are showing really really bad game knowledge in general. Every game feels like a pug while other regions like My/Sg or PH look really good but i really hope something changes about this and they get better as a region or heck i dont even mind one team from india being top class just one but for that to happen we need to see some weird magic voodoo shit that Zeta did during masters 1 (the improvement from groups to playoffs that team showed was actually mind boggling)

do top SA teams scrim top APAC teams like PRX, Bleed, Onic, Xerxia or do they scrim against mid/low tier teams from APAC and im guessing they have outside factors like time which make it impossible for them to scrim against good apac teams since good apac teams would most probably decide to scrim against good teams

i stated how i saw valorant esports in india but i have only watched a bit so idrk if they are as bad as i make them out to be and i just wanted to know what other people thought of indian valorant

Why is India so bad, like there are a few who are mechanically good but nobody is like world class and they have terrible fundamentals and their utility is mediocre at best. Every Indian team is almost close to each other but are far worse interms of other teams in Asia (I saw SO MANY players peeking when they have one or two man advantage and they lose their fight 85% of the time) They dont need strats or comp changes, what they most probably require is a mentality shift, discipline and just playing as a team instead of each player trying to fight a 1v2 or 1v3 at the start of the round

theres no choice, i cant do what i love because i can only do stuff that my parents think are respectable but i do have this plan where ill go to college for their sake but do smthng i love and if i succeed at said thing then ill tell them when i feel like its the right time and if i dont then ill just live for them ig

that just makes it 100x worse, they start talking about how i cant take jokes anymore because i use my pc 24/7 according to them and also im not saying they are bad parents, they are really good and support me but they have the wrong idea of how i feel most of the time, they do care about me and how i feel but they dont impose proper action if im feeling unwell. They think being rude to me while im down or aggressive towards me will help me somehow

thats the indianest thing u could have ever said smh

u will eventually figure it out and the number 1 thing u should know to do when ur trying to grind video games and is never to give up and just stop grinding, you have to work for it thats the only way

all my family wants to do is make fun of me or talk about studies and they say those jokes are "for fun" and whenever i feel irritated and get annoyed my mom yells at me for raising my voice 0.0001 decibels more than my usual volume

edit : i have a week to learn everything from the beginning, i cannot do it especially with where my mental state is at rn

i have a single friend and he is like super busy all the time and i have the same problem with my classmates they are into bullying and only that

im not at all religious and i did find friends online but eventually they all just left for reasons that are beyond me and i thought i was the problem and backed myself out from ever getting friends again

its all i can do rn ig
to the Dio guy

my family will let me do anything other than become a streamer, a culinary expert/chef or a pro valorant player (anything they deem is logical) which unfortunately are all the things i feel interested in

its really weird, its like i wanna be alone but at the same time i dont? idk how to explain it its super weird

im doing my 11th boards rn sorry for the wrong phrasing

actually im writing my 11th boards and omw to 12th (sorry for the bad phrasing) and here in India 11th is like really important coz these marks carry over to ur 12th or smthng? idrk but all ik is i messed up the first 7 or 8 months coz of covid and i really tried to learn through online classes but at a certain point i just said fuck it and started doing random shit and i piled up a shit load of stuff to study, i have to learn over 80+ chapters (every subject included other than language) in a single week

thats incredibly hard for me to do, i hate everyone from my school coz everyone just likes to bully people or make sick jokes about shit other people are insecure about and laugh about it

12th grade, im almost 18
