the racist doesnt like the Brazilian coach who could have guessed

1. Mini
2. Chet
3. Onur

Did bzka fall off? No one really talks about him anymore

Also I genuinely believe that sgares is still a tier 1 coach. 100T looked like a different side as soon as he joined and now they look like a shell of their former selves.

You can put clear on raze on raze maps and he can either play chamber or jett. DSG were rocking with chamber on split before so I dont see why they wouldnt do the same now with the best chamber player to touch the game.

i appreciate you taking the time to write this out. I understand where you’re coming from and agree with the patriotism vs nationalism part, my bad for grouping it together when they are very different.

I’m still of the belief that you can love something regardless of it’s flaws, i think we both agree on that, but I think where we disagree is on this.

I don't know, speak ill of your mother, your family, your pet, you'll go crazy, right? You will say "shut up asshole"

If someone from the outside who has never met my mum speaks ill of them it wouldn’t faze me at all because they obviously don’t know anything and me reacting to it puts me at their level. Obviously if we were out in public and someone said to her she was ugly/fat and it upset her I would be pissed, but if it’s just some random timmy from US who has lived a privileged life calling my country shit why should I care.

The thing that annoys me is the double standards and blatant ignorance a lot of Brazilians/Americans have when it comes to blow for blow. Like you are both allowed to shit talk other countries “because they do it as well” and enjoy doing it, all the while getting way too emotional and angry when they do it back.

yea thats why I was saying its a battle not worth fighting, there is no point in hekzy trying to change the way it is because its always gonna be like this as its a never ending

region 1 calls region 2 shit
region 2 sees this and calls region 1 shit
region 3 sees this and joins in
region 1 sees 2 regions call them shit and calls them both shit

It never ends

its hard to find the correct signifier, I could say "some" instead of "most" or a word in between, but I am talking about the valorant fans that he'll be interacting with on this website so most would be more accurate due to this region pride cringe shit going on. HAHA EU > NA like who cares.

Obviously I treat everyone irl with 0 bias or prejudice because there is 0 chance i meet any of these basement dwellers anywhere else other than on this website. But on this website people are stuck in this positive feedback loop where they see people constantly battling between regions and think this is a normal thing to do.

you guys use our criminal rate to offend us bcuz you cant criticise us at valorant since we are chad in it

This is the issue. "You guys" . I have never said anything like this, so is it that you think everyone from the same country must share the same beliefs? I am truly in the mind that if you are discussing anything outside of valorant you are not in the right place, so why should I be lumped in with "you guys" and this us vs them narrative when I am here to discuss valorant?

Also if people are mentioning the criminal rate... why does it matter/offend you? Bad things are allowed to happen in your country, no need to be ashamed if its true, or angry if it isn't. It does not matter at all... and if you know people are doing it to annoy you, why do you do it back, to people who don't even engage with that in the first place.

Me being European has nothing to do with my argument. If I was from anywhere else in the world I would also be ashamed of people from my country having delusional pride and fighting people online for literally no reason. To me the country/continent I was born in does not represent me as a person, and I am able to form my own unique thoughts outside of the country I was born in.

Its weird how you guys are so down to make jokes, you'd think we'd be able to joke with you about things as well without receiving death threats or being told to not play the victim (I am in no way a victim as my brain works and I can think independently outside of the country I was born in).

I think UK's education is pretty bad, I agree with you even if you are joking. As I am a functioning member of society and I don't gain any value from fighting for my country in online forums I take no offence in you stating if my countries education is good or bad, even as a joke.

"Us" talking about wealth inequality in your perfect country (I have never done this personally as once again, I gain nothing for fighting people about their nationality) shouldn't offend you, if its true, then its true and hiding from it and being proud of your country regardless makes you the problem, if it's false then once again it shouldn't offend you as it isn't real.

Hekzy I 100% agree with you, but you have to realise most of the American fans are so brainwashed into nationalistic and patriotic thinking that it is impossible to speak to them on level terms. We can speak to each other about the flaws of European countries in a respectful and good faith upholding way, but when you talk to these people, the moment you criticize anything about them they see you as wrong/racist because they are so in love with their own nation/people that they aren't ever listening to what you have to say because they 100% believe their country is faultless. Its scary to see honestly.

People like alitmanus will call other countries education/culture shit without hesitation, but the second you say literally anything about brazil the flood gates of abuse open. This seems to be a culture issue (yes i am criticising it) and it doesn't matter how many posts you make its going to be the same. You are fighting a losing battle, just try not to interact with Brazilians/americans in any sort of discussion where you aren't in agreement; Life becomes much easier that way.

or they can at least realise they struck gold with the recon bundle and are making a vandal version

he did not mention you for good reason

foxy9 doesnt play today sadly

it means youre shooting heads more than you are bodys, if sinatraa had his movement + smoke/wall spraying habits but had better crosshair placement his hs would increase, which would be a good thing.

Higher HS% does indicate better aim / gunplay / crosshair placement.

ohhhhh ok

screwface igls in ranked so if youre wanting to learn how to igl i guess its a good example

ngl you got this list very wrong lmao

ptc and forsaken are nerfed when you spray, gaia and reaver are spray vandals

1. Champs
2. prelude
3. rgx
4. chronovoid
5. forsaken
6. prime
7. oni
8. cyrostasis
9. SOL
10. neptune

They could also scrim other teams, while playing in competitions that are also competitive? This is just a downgrade where its all about inclusivity rather than meritocracy. A team like apeks or les pettit bouffons are gonna get left out of ascension while an immo 2 italian team is gonna make it in. Now you take the best team out of these smaller regions and they have even less competition to play against. Replace the good team that left with a team thats worse than all the other teams and these leagues aren't developing

Building up scenes for certain regions is a good idea on paper, but this is all theoretical. Teams in these minor regions arent going to improve at a rate higher than those with good competition, they will not be able to catch up in this format. Language barrier excuse doesnt apply, as you dont need to be able to talk to your opponents? You can play with italians, just against actual competition. Do you think teams are going to pick up players who are stomping against unproven talent? Scouting rarely happens and everything is normally achievement based.

I come from rocket league, and a minor region of saudi arabia and the middle east has been developed into an actual contender vs eu and na. They were awful for so many years, just playing against other middle east teams, then they started getting invited to play in european event with all the other EU teams, actual real competition against teams better than them. Now the top ME team is a very strong side, and the region as a whole is pushing out talent after talent. None of these players would have had any recognition or opportunity if they hadnt played against teams outside of their region. They would have stayed at the same level, never getting to play against actual pro level teams asides from scrims.

Splitting everything up doesnt inspire growth as there is no challenge, and nothing to prove. Players like tomaszy who are stomping their regional league, may never get a chance to join a well established team, as he cant join any team outside of portugal unless theyre in ascension or franchised. And at that point would you take the gamble and sign someone like that who has no experience? It makes no sense for orgs to gamble like that, it could be that the Portugal region is so weak that him stomping means literally nothing.

when i said you cant pretend there are 400 tier 2 players i meant skill wise, obviously they would technically be considered tier 2 but this system puts little to no value on the term tier 2 as realistically skillwise none of them are close to this level. It feels more like game changers where its giving opportunities to, in this case, regions who arent as fully developed instead of creating a competitive ecosystem.

In americas, theres NA, LATAM North/south and Brazil. If it was the same as the mess of eu there would be a league for Bolivia as the Bolivian talent pool isnt that large and needs some support to develop.

Its way too inflated at the moment, at the end of the day, inclusivity seems really nice on paper, and im sure the italian players really appreciate the opportunity to play against other italian players, but long term, maybe 1 italian player max is going to get scouted from these teams as the level of play is so low, and playing against the same low level players isn't how scenes develop. Say one of these italian players got onto a team in one of potentially 3/4 mixed leagues, maybe eu Mediterranean league they would have a much much larger chance to get picked up by an established team.

rare tolerable domination post

do you not say lil bro and stuff in half of your posts ":skull:"

i guess turkish teams pick 2 maps to master and just pray the enemy team doesnt ban it lmaooo

yea ik lmao, was just joking about how big the averagejonas one got before. I don't think this one will get as big as most people don't like lothar anyways so not much controversy

you also cant pretend that there are 400 players who are tier 2, ie close to tier 1s level. that would literally just be everyone whos radiant, and the skill gap between the average radiant to pros is huge. Being so open and inclusive is nice short term as it gives all these people "an opportunity" to be tier 2, but competition is what drives up ability and interest. No one coming out of half of these smaller regions leagues are ever going to be tier 2 level as they are only playing people who are from that certain tiny region.

and comparing NA challengers to these tiny one country regional leagues is insane lmao, the only reason its NA only and not brazil or latam as well is because of ping differences and distance, eu doesnt have that problem

oh lord where have I seen a thread like this before

no way

its so cringe seeing people from NA speak like what 12 year olds in the UK think roadmen sound like lmao

I still don't understand the point in breaking it down into so many regional leagues. It just breaks down the potential viewer base and splits them out across all the different leagues. Only spanish people are going to watch the spanish league, only germans for the dach league etc. Splitting out talent, viewership and money so thin isn't "developing talent" or "giving a chance to new players" its making it much worse for them.

It should defo be closer to the system that NA has with challengers as its actually interesting to watch. Imagine they split it up into west US, south US, North east and south east leagues. Split up the schedule so that these leagues are all playing at the same time, the prize money is much less. Add in the circuit point system which is a failure in itself as its leads to many pointless games, results between teams who have weeks to play and no chance of qualifying for anything. Would kill the NA scene. So why are we doing it in Europe?

Us Europeans are already used to multiple league systems due to football, I would be more than happy to have a system like that where there are 3 or so leagues, with all the regions competing, with a promotion demotion system and several transfer windows. It's easier to follow, prize pools would be more condensed, and actually reward the teams who are better rather than the region being more developed, easier to support teams when its not just spain vs spain every week etc

duelist having taco and dgzin in there as well is insane

he is active on g2shahzam now instead

this list is horrible lmao

so? hellranger has worse calling and worse aim, less experience etc

6/8 requires some ball knowledge to understand

they are an indian org

Some of their aggressive set ups are really strong, but the amount of times I watch someone just solo walk down a lane like its ranked just to be punished by a guy holding is insane. Like I'll see d4v4i just walk past his whole killjoy setup to dry peek something his turret would be holding. We need to see something like what happened at 100T with sean gares where he turned a bunch of pug stompers into a very disciplined unit who peek off eachother and don't overheat. Just frustrates me to watch.

when losing a series vs a strong enemy in overtime on the final map means there is a problem and the team should disband / rework everything

rrq could do this and no one would notice because we do not care

i think theyve realised that putting him on smokes isnt exactly the best idea

i was being sarcastic in my reply haha, his posts are all so bad, must be some sort of mental illness. Its really sad to see... get some help s1mple_is_the_GOAT... therapy is really healthy and nothing to be ashamed about! :D

bahahahah great one! another amazing 8/8 bait, surely everyone will fall for this

Good post, glad to see some credit being given to both teams. Normally it would be "Loud tried a shit comp and lost" "Fnatic got lucky and didnt deserve the win" or some narrative along those lines, especially from your fellow countrymen.

I agree on the agent ban take as well, would mean teams will move away from the same jett kayo sova kj omen on ascent and try something new

Wait he responded! No way... maybe make another post about it just to make sure people see this! :O

As a manga reader you will not be disappointed! (it is LINDENFILMS animating it though so be careful!)

Also Oshi no ko next season as well, most people will sleep on it due to it looking like an idol show but its very good and defo not an idol show lmao

seasonal garbage being hyped up is nothing new

vlr when they realise people are allowed to be sad for non trivial reasons. It doesnt have to be anything serious, probs had a few bad games of ranked (he takes ranked very serious) and was feeling a bit down.

Top 8 is such a stretch, if they win an official they should be happy ngl

lmfaooo
