hello vanity

yo

Fnatic vs SMB = sleeper
BBL vs G2 = sleeper, even though I want to see G2 improve
Liquid vs FPX = banger
Fnatic vs Acend = banger
G2 vs Guild = could be banger since G2 looked pretty good against Acend at least improved.
Liquid vs Big = sleeper
Guild vs SMB = sleeper
BIG vs Navi = sleeper, but I want to see NaVi play more
LDN UTD vs FPX = most likely FPX win, but LDN is super underrated team and they are super entertaining to watch. Could be good game.
BBL vs Acend = sleeper

this weekend is going to be so good

and Navi oh nvm

i need some sleep i can't go on like this

Great news! Overwatch is great game just ruined by bad lead.

Idk what this means but Kalevala is full of old Finnish myths like how world was created, after death etc. Idk about current ones.

Guild 2-1
DRX 2-1
C9 2-0

Ancient is pretty fun map to play, but the visuals are terrible and look bad IMO

True. At least CSGO maps are overall better. I play Mirage, Inferno, Nuke, Overpass, Dust 2 and Ancient and as a pack its better than what Valorant has to offer currently. But, obviously 2 different games and CSGO maps wouldn't work in Valorant.

And CSGO maps are superior when it comes to DM.

You can one trick any agent in ranked. Its just better to one trick agent that has much impact (don't just one trick duelists unless you are good mechanically). Kay/O is pretty good for that.

SEN > XSET imo and even if XSET were better they would still be barely top 5 in NA

XSET isn't even top 5 NA though or maybe barely if you don't count The Guard in

Finland:
Derke (Jett, Raze) - possible agents on some maps [?] - maybe on some maps if desperate)
Jamppi (Chamber, Jett, Killjoy, Breach, Astra[?], Sova)
Bonecold (Omen, Brimstone, Sova, Astra[?], Kay/O[?])
Hoody (Kay/O, Breach, Skye, Sage, Reyna, Viper[?])
Kaspe (Astra, Cypher, Killjoy, Sage)

Flexible team that could easily make workable comps for each map. Feeqn (Cypher mainly) or H1ber (if he goes back to Sova) could be options if they want different agents. Also both Bonecold and Jamppi (partly) are IGLs for their teams.

This. Some people are still hyping him up like crazy even though last time we saw him in pro play was during when no one had any idea how utility works in this game.

I only watch Nordic and Spanish some times. Nordic seems most stacked. Some of their production is pretty cool like those small segments with players from different teams. I mainly watch Spanish for KOI. Spanish production is good and casters are cool even though I don't understand them. Also Spanish good viewership.

100T

I mean Spanish casting in Valorant is good, but I don't understand it so I don't know how much it differs from English when it comes to words (support words or whatever), speed etc. Spanish is pretty fast language. Same happens in sports as well between English and Spanish.

What I mean is that LoL team fights are fast so you have to turn into beast mode to cast them. In Valorant you don't need this.

Valorant casting isn't as good compared to CSGO and LoL (LEC) IMO. And its not really even about the casters being bad. A lot of their styles are just more "passive". Good example is Pansy/Hypoc duo. They are really good, but their style just isn't the best for me at least. I love casters like Medic on LEC who will just go crazy rap god hype mode in middle of fights etc. while still being entertaining and being good with words, doing banter etc. Obviously LoL is different type of game. Still no hate towards Valorant casters and I appreciate their work.

yeah its fucked...

maybe Minima Phantom

apparently 10 euros is like 156959 Indonesian so maybe that is it. I don't understand what is happening with some currencies though so complicated

0,0096 euro?

Russ' Skye was good when he was on Tenstar, but lately it hasn't been hitting as much.

idk is he underrated really, but I would like to see H1ber play on higher level.

That is true, but tbh I don't know how they are going to change the roles on some maps. For example starxo's Astra is good on Ascent, but I don't think he would play Omen or Brimstone there if those became meta. And BONECOLD plays Sova currently and starxo doesn't. Zeek was insane Sova on that map, but his Kay/O has been really good as well. Interesting to see.

I also wonder will they start playing Haven again if Omen or Brimstone becomes meta there. Feels like the fact that they didn't really have Astra player there really screw them over.

V1 and C9, but I think with time V1 could start getting counterplayed like how OpTic did on Ascent yesterday.

Let's hope that is the case. FPX finally started looking good and then this shit happens unlucky

I mean Ange1 is their IGL unless they have changed their calling system. Losing IGL is big loss.

OpTic doesn't just know how to play this comp. Their defense so far has looked really lackluster with this comp.

Liquid plays it as well and it works on Haven

Ardiis would eat V1

Team LEC wins anyway

Damn man thinking about it that might be my exact problem. Your comment describes me pretty well. Being somewhat perfectionist and being afraid of making mistakes. That kind of applies to outside of games as well. I have never even thought about it or seen myself that way.

Thanks for constructive and supportive comment! I never knew I would realize stuff like this through vlr lol, but truly thank you for you time!

Thanks for comment, but I think its the opposite in a lot of those points. I don't really care do I win or not that much, but I care more about my own performance and how much I had effect on the outcome. And play unrated mainly because I want to improve my game sense and ability usage. My aim is decent even though it could be better. Also I'm definitely not overrating myself more like the opposite. As I said I have no problems playing in that level. I just have this mindset that I'm not good enough to play in that rank where I am. I feel like all the other players are better than me and it gives me stress and pressure. Even if that isn't the case in reality as I said. Its just some sort of lock in my head and its really hard to get over it even as stupid as it might sound. Just wanted share if there's people with similar problems.

Good example was in Overwatch where I pretty much grinded my alt account to Masters (in Valorant it would be like Immortal) with like 80% winrate, but the moment I hit that rank I just couldn't continue due to pressure feeling.

Emote only chat is so trash when there isn't any good co-streams. I guess its like that because of Ukraine war stuff, but even still I don't think it would be that overwhelming for the mods to timeout/ban. Or maybe they just keep it due to toxic chat, but even still it shouldn't be too much for the mods.

Sometimes I have this "ok fuck it I will just play" mentality, but it always goes back to lack on confidence after a while. All it needs is just 1 bad game or something like that. And I usually really go through the games in my mind after winning or losing sometimes even overthinking. I just put too much value on ranked game in my head. Some people just wake up and instantly queue to ranked, but I have to warmup, play couple unrated games, eat etc before I play ranked when I rarely play ranked. Its like going to pro game or some shit. But thanks anyway!

I think I'm too passive and lack confidence to go into sites for example. And because of this I struggle little on attack and I have problems entering sites.

And I lack confidence of playing ranked. I'm afraid to disappoint my team and myself if I don't perform well, and I have pretty much had this "I will grind unrated to a point where I feel really confident" since the release of Valorant, and I have only played 2 ranked games ever. I mean I don't even have that much problems with my performances. Unrated constantly getting placed against Immortals and in my placements I was playing against Diamonds/Immortals and I performed well, but I don't know I still doubt my skills. I have had same problem in every game. I just feel too much pressure playing against "high" rated players. In Overwatch I quit when I hit my main and alt to high Masters rank for example.

haven't played in 5 years though

Maybe some pie. Salmon/mushroom pie is good if I don't want anything sweet. And then there's many sweet pies like blueberry that are good. Maybe best baked desserts that come to my mind.

LDN has some cool and aggressive ideas on Split, so its going to be interesting for sure!

LDN UTD teamwork is actually pretty damn good

Jess is goated what are you on about?

Yes. Team Liquid is full of likeable players. I started mainly following them because of Jamppi, but soon realized that all of the players are follow worthy.

that was one of the most beautiful moments in Valorant esport
