All Valorant maps are pretty bad IMO, but without much thought:
True why grind one game shit ton when you can just make more money while doing nothing basically. You can just play casually and decide when and how long to stream (as long as within contract).
But I don't like when some of these pros try to do both same time. It isn't problem if it doesn't affect your or your team's performance, but some of the excuses from Sentinels guys have been pretty pathetic while they are clearly struggling. When you want to stay as pro and have people who cheer for you you should do everything to perform better.
I've said this before, but in my opinion PlatChat has always been more critical about EMEA compared to other regions. And they focus way more on negative stuff than positive when it comes to EMEA. Pretty much whole year so far:
-team in EMEA wins: "They only won because the other team was bad and trolling"
-team in NA wins: "They won because they are good and were better than the other good team"
its like EMEA is the big brother who gets shit on for everything while NA is the little sister who gets praised for everything because they finally learnt how to cycle.
and yeah I understand that EMEA has been bit of a mess so far and Fnatic and FPX are clearly above others, but some of their statements don't always make sense to me. Like they are a lot of times downplaying some of these teams and their performances. FPX (more) and Guild (less) are good examples. Saying something like "FPX would get beated by most top NA teams" is pretty bald statement for team that has now been 2 stages EMEA's top 1/2 team. They are also really high on NA right now, because NA is finally competitive within the region and there's many "new" team coming out and challenging the top dogs of NA. And even though I agree that NA is looking nice I still think they are overrating it as a whole little bit. Regionals games with 1 week prep time between games is one thing and actually competition in international LAN tournament event is completely other thing. EMEA has always been bit troll when it comes to regionals for example, but still manage to do well internationally. Actually Masters 3(M2 this year) is good example of this, but Gambit ended up winning anyway. But we will see. No hate towards them or any NA or EMEA fan.
True, but it might not be good for his career's future
there's video of him snorting cocaine or something that + all other stuff with her girlfriend/ex-gf
just release recon vandal or minima vandal pls rito
OpTic, Fnatic and FPX are my top 3 currently (not in order)
Yeah I don't get this. FPX looks really really good right now, but people for some reason are underrating them. Crazy individual talent, good strats, flexible, can play every map and arguably best preparation/anti-strat out of any team. They read every team they play so well. Also consistent considering that they won last stage and have continued being top 2. And even against Fnatic that was their first game of stage 2 and were playing Ardiis Breach and ANGE1 Yoru on Fracture.
Ehh when? Masters 2 2021 they were arguably the favorites, but lost to Sentinels twice and in the finals. Sentinels were the dominant team that tournament. Masters 3 2021 they didn't make it. Champions they came as 4th EMEA seed and no one had expectation for them, but they still managed to top their group (like all EMEA teams) and get into playoffs losing to KRU who were on a heater. And in Masters 1 2022 they had 2 subs so that doesn't even count.
Banana for snack best fruit, but berries like strawberries and blueberries are better
Engh Gambit coach also came from OW
Yeah it was really chaotic, but tbh its the EU experience
Makes sense. Luckily Fnatic decided to go with him. Acend comms already seem to be crazy when listening to their voicecomms so adding one with pretty bad English skills would be bad I imagine. They are also really on the fly type of team or at least has been. And BIG lost gob b so them wanting more experienced players is understandable and they already talked how it was pretty hard with Kaspe and Twisten since they were so young +Musashi is German. I would imagine Fnatic being almost perfect team for inexperienced and potential language barrier problem player.
I wish they had just replaced Kiles with Monsteerr and had kept Bonecold. They look so disjointed currently. And yeah Kiles had clear role in Acend so it worked well, Monsteerr will need some time.
W, or w, is the twenty-third and fourth-to-last letter of the modern English and ISO basic Latin alphabets. It typically represents a consonant, but in some languages it represents a vowel. Its name in English is double-u,[note 1] plural double-ues.[1][2]
History
A 1693 book printing that uses the "double u" alongside the modern letter; this was acceptable if printers did not have the letter in stock or the font had been made without it.
The classical Latin alphabet, from which the modern European alphabets derived, did not have the "W' character. The "W" sounds were represented by the Latin letter "V" (at the time, not yet distinct from "U").
The sounds /w/ (spelled ⟨V⟩) and /b/ (spelled ⟨B⟩) of Classical Latin developed into a bilabial fricative /β/ between vowels in Early Medieval Latin. Therefore, ⟨V⟩ no longer adequately represented the labial-velar approximant sound /w/ of Germanic phonology.
A letter W appearing in the coat of arms of Vyborg
The Germanic /w/ phoneme was therefore written as ⟨VV⟩ or ⟨uu⟩ (⟨u⟩ and ⟨v⟩ becoming distinct only by the Early Modern period) by the earliest writers of Old English and Old High German, in the 7th or 8th centuries.[3] Gothic (not Latin-based), by contrast, had simply used a letter based on the Greek Υ for the same sound in the 4th century. The digraph ⟨VV⟩/⟨uu⟩ was also used in Medieval Latin to represent Germanic names, including Gothic ones like Wamba.
It is from this ⟨uu⟩ digraph that the modern name "double U" derives. The digraph was commonly used in the spelling of Old High German, but only in the earliest texts in Old English, where the /w/ sound soon came to be represented by borrowing the rune ⟨ᚹ⟩, adapted as the Latin letter wynn: ⟨ƿ⟩. In early Middle English, following the 11th-century Norman Conquest, ⟨uu⟩ gained popularity again and by 1300 it had taken wynn's place in common use.
Scribal realisation of the digraph could look like a pair of Vs whose branches crossed in the middle. Another, common in roundhand, kurrent and blackletter, takes the form of an ⟨n⟩ whose rightmost branch curved around as in a cursive ⟨v⟩ (viz. {\displaystyle {\mathfrak {w}}.}{\displaystyle {\mathfrak {w}}.})[4][5] It was used up to the nineteenth century in Britain and continues to be familiar in Germany.[note 2]
The shift from the digraph ⟨VV⟩ to the distinct ligature ⟨W⟩ is thus gradual, and is only apparent in abecedaria, explicit listings of all individual letters. It was probably considered a separate letter by the 14th century in both Middle English and Middle German orthography, although it remained an outsider, not really considered part of the Latin alphabet proper, as expressed by Valentin Ickelshamer in the 16th century, who complained that:
Poor w is so infamous and unknown that many barely know either its name or its shape, not those who aspire to being Latinists, as they have no need of it, nor do the Germans, not even the schoolmasters, know what to do with it or how to call it; some call it we, [... others] call it uu, [...] the Swabians call it auwawau[6]
In Middle High German (and possibly already in late Old High German), the West Germanic phoneme /w/ became realized as [v]; this is why, today, the German ⟨w⟩ represents that sound.
I just don't think H1ber fits in when they have Derke. I would rather see Derke duelist/Jamppi Chamber/Sentinel than H1ber duelist/Derke Chamber. Iluri is decent initiator player who can play Sova and Breach. Obviously Jamppi would work as initiator as well, but I think Iluri would be more natural + he has also IGLed so could add calling. I guess it depends on meta. Maybe right now when Chambers are more like carries while Razes are more like hard entries H1ber/Derke could work better. Depends on meta for example Jamppi could play Killjoy even on maps like Ascent.
I would rep my hometeam obviously so:
Derke (duelist)
Jamppi (flex/2nd IGL)
Hoody (flex)
Bonecold (smokes/IGL)
Iluri (Initiator/IGL)
bunch of firepower, a lot of flexibility and there's 3 guys who could IGL.
OpTic, FNC and FPX for me I think all those have showed quality that no other team has so far IMO
Little bit yes I believe. They are promising, but I feel some people are little bit overreacting when you read some of the comments like player gets most basic shock dart kill ever "OMG THIS PERSONS UTIL IS SO INSANE".
D3ffo isn't the problem, but I kind of think that roster change could do M3C good. Not that the existing players aren't good, but new player would maybe bring new energy to the team etc. that could help them get over this slump.
The fact that he can play high level Jett, Raze and Chamber puts him at really strong place. He can flex to anything Fnatic needs from duelist pretty much.
Who has ever said that Derke doesn't have good Raze? Both of his Jett and Raze has been top tier for quite long time.
Same. But before that I hope they will clean some of their stuff and have consistent performance in playoffs. Would be amazing to see Sayf and Leo on LAN finally.
true, but I guess they thought he was under heaven
Bit shaky at times definitely, but this was weird match overall feels like
I was doubter when it happened, but Ardiis has been really great with FPX.
I think FPX should be very likely unless they decided to move to China that is unlikely after EMEA FPX success. They have been in EMEA since beginning and as Chinese org definitely have money so I would believe Riot wanting to keep them. Unless again China becomes big then maybe different story. Also depends how many slots each EMEA region gets.
top 3 IMO no in order: OpTic, Fnatic, FPX
I think those 3 are the most perfect out of what I've seen so far. Great rosters with bunch of individual talent, great strats, great fundamentals, a lot of depth, great coaches and IGLs (Chet/FNS, Mini/Boaster and Doombros/Ange1 slaps), some of the best preparation and good map pools.
And rest I'm not sure, but would guess Loud, DRX, PRX, NA 2nd, EMEA 3rd etc.... bit biased
Lets go Berlin International Gaming!
nah I don't think so. Braveaf is initiator player and they already have Redgar who is their IGL and Sheydos. Doesn't make sense to replace either one IMO.
Fnatic and FPX are pretty much locked unless they mess up in playoffs. 3rd spot if between M3C/Guild/Acend/Liquid and out of those Liquid are not making it unless they really improve, Acend maybe look bit better than Liquid but they need to improve a lot as well. Guild have been looking pretty good, but are inconsistent like always. Hard to say who will make it as 3rd. All about how much these teams can improve and can Guild keep their good form in playoffs.
both bad, but stabbings > mass shootings
I don't even understand why some Americans bring this up
burger meal or pizza is pretty much perfect I'm simple person, but mashed potatoes and reindeer/red deer meat with lingonberry jam and veggies is goated as well. Finnish christmas food good as well.
ofc finnish girls best because im finnish but not strongly.
on top of sentinels and faze at least imo, fokus is hard since they are new in vct and have faced pretty hard opponents. Im not unbiased tho, but try to here.
