this is the most noob take ive ever seen from vlr.gg

minor regions will take over because of work ethic in the long run. it's a new game. there's way more strategy to it than a lot of past competitive titles.

you thought DRX would get destroyed?

YOU. CLEARLY. DONT. WATCH. THE. GAMES.

fake ass valorant fans lol

that's the only input they can give cuz they dont know whats going on when they watch the games

how is it not a factor lmao they couldnt get their shit together. does saying that they choked discredit PRX's win? is that what you're thinking? not sure what point you're even trying to make.

bro yall make too many theories about which team is better because team a beat team b and team b beat team c so team a is better than team c blah blah blah just watch the gameplay man. if a team plays better and wins, thats literally all that matters. do you guys even watch the gameplay or do yall just look at the scoreboard

you act like nerves dont matter. it does. if you got nerves of steel, it will make you a better competitor aka better results aka better team. if you lose because of nerves, you are worse than the other team.

having a strong mental is one of the most important parts of being a competitor. if your mental isn't as strong as the other team and you lose, youre just not as good. it's not an excuse. saying a team had a weak mental isn't a copout. if it consistently affects your ability to win, then you suck. that's it. not that deep.

GUYS I LIKE PRX OKAY??? i'd rather see PRX win than the guard

PRX performed better and is a better team. i'm not even trying to defend the guard's skill or performance. i'm just saying people are angry at them for no good reason lol

just sharing my opinion, like how others are sharing theirs.

yall gonna be nervous for job interviews and do pretty horribly your first few times when yall grow up. these kids choked while representing an entire country, playing at a level they've never played before where the stakes have never been higher. and theyre just kids man lol. not an NA fan btw.

cuz people are weird lol

u weird. ppl can do w/e they want with their money

lose by 2 rounds, GeTtInG eXpOsEd

i agree. you gotta read your opponents to some degree. and yeah rushing breeze is not a bad idea considering how hard it is to do anything with pistols. i'm mainly wondering why teams do full rushes with ZERO info on other maps. it's weird, like you said.

another example: you are rifling on attack on bind and enemies have pistols. your default setup: 1 watch B long from behind fountain/crates, kj turret watches outside hookah. if you see 3 people pushing B long and your KJ turret activates due to someone peeking hookah, you know theres only 1 person on A. why would you take the risk of putting all 5 players at B long at the beginning?

a single player can safely watch a main or b main on ascent on attacker side. you dont have to push all the way up to the orbs. it's hard for you to get picked off if you keep your distance and jiggle/jump spot.

but if you try to 5 man B site and it turns out there are 4 people there and they have an insane KJ setup and you want to rotate, you have ZERO information because you didnt have someone safely watching the flank. you are not playing efficiently and you have to clear a bunch of new angles.

now if you spot 4 defenders pushing A or B main, you can tell your team that there can only be 1 player on the other side of the map, isnt that much safer?

when you're defaulting against an anti-eco, your solo/flank players are supposed to play extra safe so that whatever info/map control play you do with the majority of your players is not compromised by a flank. you also have utility to help you gain information. you dont necessarily have to put anyone at risk just to figure out the enemy's setup.

What's up with these IGLs thinking that it's a good idea to 5 man rush a site, especially through one point of entry, against pistols? When the enemy team is on pistols, they have to take risks, such as stacking a site or playing very aggressively to take map control. This is some basic ESEA Open shit in CSGO, except it's even worse in VALORANT because on pistols, utility is still VERY good.

thats not how it works bro

why are you including ranked stats?

why? cuz of stats?

PRX knew what they had to do to win and they did it

1. no lan servers. that's literally the most basic thing ever. how did you test the game?
2. it took them 2 years to change ONE line of code to change the respawn timer in DM from 3 seconds to 1.5
3. they didnt take into consideration that a demo system is EXTREMELY important for an esports focused game
4. there's still a ton of UI bugs
5. there are in-game bugs EVERY SINGLE PATCH

because when you dont watch games, you make silly takes based off of scorelines like you just did.

pros miss all the time. it's called being human

?

my only opinion about him is that he's a really smart player

:skull:

you just described life lol

i agree but im not really describing any alternative. just wanted to know what people thought about the topic and the effect that it has.

bro read your own post and think about the tone that you are giving off

lol who hurt you

im not saying that the format is bad or anything, but what are your thoughts on this?

currently, every team in playoffs can lose two series before being eliminated, except for the winner of the upper bracket final. if they lose a single series (grand final), they're out. they have no lifeline, but the lower bracket winner will have had one.

DRX cuz i respect the way they play and you can always learn from them

i wouldnt call liquid favorites. they are definitely one of the most popular, but if you watch their gameplay, you can often see ego and a lack of patience. i see scream getting traded all the time for no reason. sure dude can frag out, but you gotta convert those frags into wins.

honestly, i agree.

Looking at GAMEPLAY, DRX will win the whole thing.

you can land on that box normally, you noobs

bro it was only 2 rounds in

just because a team has sucked doesnt mean that they cant play well

dude has 1300 posts on vlr and they are all about nothing lmao

lol just ignore it. the vast majority of people who talk shit are bad at valorant and dont even understand whats going on in the games. they see a score line and think they understand the game lol

you can still be good without beating those teams lol

6 guns on the floor and the op is invisible due to a bug

if you want someone to pick up a gun for you, especially after the round has ended, just fuckin ping it. it's a billion times easier for you and the player looking for your gun

??? DRX is one of my favorite teams and im not even korean. you dont gotta be from a teams country to like them

if you have scrimmed before and done any demo reviews, youll notice that optic doesnt really have good strats/calls

thinking optic will remain successful just because of one player (yay) is literally the most american thing ever. see tenz and sentinels
