yeah but talking about the 7 season show not the cartoonish one. Haven't actually watched the original Clone Wars.

animated one is best show

I just don't really get what is the point of team deathmatch in game like Valorant? Feels like wasted resources to me. But I guess its extra casual so some might like it.

Nah. I get your point, but not everyone has time or motivation to hit max level in battlepasses and there's so many items you will miss if you don't complete battlepasses. Also who cares how "exclusive" their battlepass skins are, you rarely see them anyway nowdays.

I mean you were the one arguing how teams like M80 made this comp while they and most of NA tier 2 are using the exact same comp NaVi used months before.

I understood what you meant, but my point is that NaVi already ran Sova comp on Pearl in 2022 while DRX played Pearl first time in 2023.

DRX didn't even play Pearl in 2022.

Based on VLR (day, month, year):
M80 4.2.2023
The Guard 14.1.2023
Bleed 2.2.2023
NaVi 26.11.2022

NaVi has played Sova on Pearl since G-Loot Valorant clash in November 2022.

EMEA

thanks for reminding didnt even know this was going on !

Asuna maybe. There's so many people who still rate him as one of the best (likely because many fans) and some still say how 100T would win everything if Asuna was on Raze etc.

Before season I would have said Destrian easily, but he has impressed me quite a lot this season. But he's still likely most replacable by some tier 2 players like Mistic, baddyG, some Turkish guy if those were allowed and willing to leave their teams. Not sure how much he adds to comms tho. Molsi has been the most disapointing out of the guys for me, but I still believe in him. I think both Molsi and Twisten still has potential and should be given time. Bonecold could be replaced, but IGL role is so hard because impossible to tell who in tier 2 would be better.

Sweden I think

Sheydos on tosi hyvä info initiator ja flex, mut itekki oon iso Cloud believer ja uskon et se on parempi main iniator pelaajana. Varmaa paras Leon ja Shaon jälkee EUssa ainaki. Ja on muuteki tosi flexible. Ja sitku taas puhutaa flex pelaajista niin ite arvostan Trexx suuresti. Niin ton takia Sheydos jää varjoo sen parhaissa rooleissa ainaki omasta mielestä. Ja vaik on totta et Sheydos on tarpeeksi hyvä sentinelinä just noiden syiden takia niin en oo kuitenkaan ihan täysin myyty vielä. Varsinki ku puhutaa just Cypheristä ja Viperistä. Niveralla on enemmä kokemusta ja vaik en ollu sen suurin fani Liquidissa niin uskon et kokonaisena sentinel pelaajana se olis parempi.

ja nii toi IGL homma on vähän vaikee ku vaikee nimetä seuraavaks parasta Boaster, ANGE1 ja Redgarin jälkee. Olisin varmaa sanonu Koldamenta ennen kautta, mut KOI on näyttäny niin huonolta nii ei jää montaa jäljelle. Yleensä kyl kuullu juttuu et Bonecold ei oo sellane täys IGL vaa yleensä saa aika paljon apuu muilt pelaajilt mut tiedä tosta sit.

I wouldn't say he is the best looking one, but definitely up there. Considering that looks is really subjective he is pretty safe choice. Astralis(before nip) days were his best tho.

Duelist: QutionerX
Initiator: Cloud
Flex: trexx
Controller/IGL: Bonecold/Rhyme
Sentinel: Nivera

you could make good teams tbf but IGL spot is always hard because overall there isn't many proven top tier IGLs in the world, let alone in one region. Also I'm not biggest fan of Sheydos sentinel if I'm honest and think that Nivera is more natural sentinel player and he's being dragged down by KCorp.

Sayf would have the highest stats in EMEA if Liquid didn't play troll comps vs KOI. And even then he ended up being second.

1.23 rating in span of 738 rounds. Alfajer who is first has 1.23 rating with 465 rounds.

Only eaten at KFC once boneless chicken strips and zinger burger. KFC was good and really liked the burger minus the bun. But overall I would still go for McDonalds I think. For chicken KFC obviously clears, but as full package McDonalds better and eating multiple chicken strips gets repetitive. Also KFC is bit more expensive.

Can Faker skip army if he wins asian games like some of the football players? Or is there other reasons.

I mean Alfajer was a sentinel main before joining Fnatic. They put him on Raze duty, but he has been sentinel + raze player for quite a long time. So its not like Fnatic just randomly put him on sentinel because meta changed.

Alfajer > Cypher = Killjoy = Viper < Less

Wireless will definitely feel more nicer to use because more freedom unless you like the feel wired mouse gives. Performance wise wireless mice are as good as wired and even for future companies are likely going to put their newest tech on wireless mice and overall focus on them mainly.

Only clear downside is that you have to charge the battery once in a while, but it shouldn't be a problem for normal people. Quick charge every week or two depending on mouse.

There are so many wireless mice out there nowadays in different prices, but Logitech and Razer are safe bets if you are willing to spend. Logitech G Pro X Superlight is one of the most popular ones (even in pro play). It has symmetrical shape so it suits most people and is safe option. But I changed from that to Razer Deathadder V3 Pro and haven't looked back. But as I said there are many brands for different price ranges.

but overall wireless mouse wont be a game changer or anything. Its just more comfortable to use without cable dragging.

Kinda agree, but I have to say that I once had some respect towards him but after reading some of his tweets in past months I had to hit the unfollow button because my brain started rotting everytime I saw a tweet from him.

Maybe Iceland 2021 because I was so hyped and was constantly looking at Twitter posts, streams(irl as well like from zellsis and shazham), reddit etc because I wanted to see behind the scenes stuff. I haven't been as invested into any other Valorant event.
But Masters 3 and Champs 2021 were pretty good as well.

Iceland 2022 was the worst.

makes sense because 100T wont be traveling to anywhere

DeathAdder V3 Pro, best mouse I've owned outside of getting dirty pretty easily and battery isn't the best I've had. Beats Superlight easy and has 10 times better side buttons.

NaVi vs Fnatic finals

Easy for NaVi tbh

Listening to music is up there for sure. Eating is also fun because everything tastes good when drunk. Also if I'm drunk home I sometimes like to play games like Overwatch because I'm just having fun and going crazy mode. Haven't drank in while tho.

Boaster - default knife / prime phantom
s0m - ?
Suygetsu - prelude of chaos vandal
nAts - prism phantom
cNed - prism operator
Asuna - recon phantom?
Khalil - ?
Jinggg - ?
Tenz - reaper vandal?
Mazino - ?

they took all it back unfortunately

France put all their skill into Zywoo

The funny thing is that at least to my understanding Valorant isn't even that popular in Russia or Scandinavia. At least compared to CSGO.

You have one from B stairs you just stand there pretty up/middle and aim at the buildings that that show between B main and market and then like 1 charge? I don't remember, but its really easy to go to customs and find bunch of lineups.

I don't know because don't have stats on trading etc, but for what I remember Chronicle played kinda scared and and didn't seem to have much confidence in the finals. Feels like there was many moments where Chronicle could have traded or killed a player but instead he just played it safe.

For example on round on Haven Soulcas just solo walked to B, was shooting at C link and then killed the player while Chronicle just hid backsite B (close to A link) holding the angle. Its possible that he was scared of B exec and played it safe or whatever, but it felt a lot like he didn't have confidence in his aim.

Cope take, but I do believe that in a rematch Fnatic would likely win. They 2-0d Liquid twice in the split and even though Liquid has gotten better game by game I think that we have really similar situation to Reykjavik 2021 where Liquid managed to edge it out when it mattered, but still aren't as well rounded and consistent as Fnatic.

But Liquid played better in the finals and deserved to win. I just overall have way more trust on Fnatic and think that they will end up performing better.

6′2″ I guess

People overreact over Fnatic's loss super hard right now. People act like they dropped below multiple teams by losing one game while they would still be favored against any team outside of LOUD which would be pretty 50/50.

DRX underrating is bit more understandable IMO because they haven't looked as dominant and bit shaky at times, and even in the past they have never won anything and best achivement was top 3.

crashing this plane... with NO SURVIVORS

They lost total of 2 maps in whole split before the finals, and one of those was with a sub. Thinking that Fnatic just magically dropped below or even at same level as Liquid after losing one game is unreasonable. If you replayed Liquid vs Fnatic 10 times I would comfortably bet my money on Fnatic winning over 50% of the games and I would guess most would do the same.

OpTic lost like every NA VCT finals while still being by far the best NA team in 2022. T1 in LoL always seems to be losing the finals but end up still being the best LCK team on LANs etc. = point is that one game doesn't mean anything if the roster has shown that they can dominate

I almost added that I'm talking about region vs region internationally rather than regionally, but assumed that the guy with a Brazil flag would be talking about international competitiveness.

DRX are not on same level as teams like Fnatic

Tenet was pretty mid IMO and Interstellar and Inception clears it. But I also think its partly because both Interstellar and Inception are iconic movies and have so many iconic moments, soundtrack etc while Tenet isn't that iconic. But still Interstellar >

Not sure in all of esports, but Destrian is likely the tallest ouf of the VCT players. Him, Jamppi and Ardiis are some of the tallest if not the tallest. Can't really think of anyone else.

Imagine actually thinking APAC is more competitive than EMEA

Yeah I think that NaVi can rank higher than PRX and DRX but their form hasn't been the best and their comps and constant comp changes don't help either. But they still have that winning factor in them. I'm just not super high on PRX and DRX as some are and I think that EMEA and Americas top teams can punish them better. But its close and I think 1-2, 3-4, 5-7 etc could change.

1. FNC
2. LOUD
3. TL
4. NRG
5. PRX
6. DRX
7. NAVI (could be top 5 easily)
8. FUT
9. T1
10. EG (without Demon1)
    11-12. Chinese teams

Nah I still think Fnatic are the favorites with LOUD being the second. They literally dropped like 5 maps in the whole split, 3 of those coming from the finals. People are overreacting so hard over the finals while ignoring rest of the split. There isn't like super strong favorite for obvious reasons, but putting Fnatic among teams like DRX, NRG, PRX, even TL is unreasonable IMO.

Yeah but I always only see people talking about how LOUD threw it like if they deserved to win it, while Fnatic looked really in control for first 2 maps and then lost momentum and started losing. In front of LOUD's home crowd as well and knowing Fnatic's past choking genes.
