Valorant has been around for two years.

CS in some form or the other has been around for decades, and CSGO has been around for a nearly decade itself now.

s1mple wasn't a thing 2 years into the lifespan of CSGO.

this whole argument just feels like the whole CSGO vs CS 1.6 thing again.

the mechanical skill ceiling alone is irrelevant in a game whose philosophy from the very start of development was to encourage, or even almost force, teamplay .

Either way, how much higher is the skill ceiling in CS? Headboxes are slightly smaller, players move slightly faster, and the guns are deterministic. Is that really so much more than Valorant's mechanics to the point where the difference between the two's ceilings is so far apart? I'd rate it at 50% higher max. That's not enough to convince me that a s1mple of Valorant is "impossible".

(not to mention the fact that the angle diversity in Valorant is much greater due to movement abilities, and the fact that ability usage in itself is an extra mechanic)

wait till vlr finds out strategical skill is a thing

Zeta Division 3-2 G2

THIS TIMELINE IS SO BASED

cringe bumping the bump + ratio

WHAT THE NET DOIN??????????

i don't agree with this but Fnatic's scouting has been beyond excellent so far -
Brave
Derke
Magnum himself

not really too worried for the roster.

SEA ballsacks hit different

Sushiboys and Jingg's testicles outweigh the entirety of the North American continent

I'm complimenting it?

unparalled vibes

I can understand like barely 50% when they speak enlgish but nonetheless it's great

did something happen to Surreal?

The people's team

Loud's performance was also doubted for similar reasons. Having Sacy and Saadhak who've competed in a few LANs now helps them a lot, though.

DRX's core have played multiple LANs too.

The Guard has Saya who last played on LAN pretty recently! In fact, the entire Guard squad played on LAN at Fullerton - https://www.vlr.gg/60391/the-guard-vs-zero-marksmen-black-frag-valorant-major-fullerton-qf.

Bump!

they were right all along... :

ngl I was skeptical when they were marketing it as a global esport

I'm very happy that was focused upon now.

I'm referring to the wider NA scene where it happens all the time even when teams aren't down

see C9 for another example

why

The Americas would be fucked, everyone else not really.

he diffy

Riot should definitely invest in the two circuits since it worked super well with Korea.

The problem is likely a lack of english-proficient talent who are okay with those match timings. I think there should still be some that can be found in time, even if they're not as skilled.

sadly I have to agree

unbiased casts are boring imo

if they're rooting for your team you cheer with the casters
if they root against your team you cheer against the casters

a lot more engaging than if there's no vested interest in the outcome.
