my GOAT, I will be taking my kids to Denny's tonight and saying it's a gift from ButterflyEffect23.

i need money to support my 7 kids, make it 35% and we have a deal

dude stop, if you're too loud they're going to take away my cut, pls delete

Ah that's tough brother. Ask her out, and be sincere. Worse she can say is no but it's way better to get rejected than it is to not have clarity.

When Valorant on console was first announced, I said that it would suffer the fate of CSGO on Xbox 360. I was wrong. I've been playing on PC since beta as mostly a solo queuer as all of my IRL friends play on console. I've reached Immortal 2 at my peak and currently play around Ascendant 2-3.

I got access to the console beta and convinced some of my friends to try out the game for the first time. I haven't had fun like this in a while. The quality of play is atrocious and I see lots of garbage players that make me want to rip my hair out at times, but goddamn is it fun. While there will be a huge gap in competitive play, playing with friends and just fucking around on console is genuinely so fun and the game feels super polished. It's also very rewarding to see your friends pick up a game you've been playing for a while, have fun with it, and also learn it.

Have you guys tried it console Valorant yet? What are you impressions?

He was playing out of his mind towards the end of Split 1. He was giving his team so much room to shine by taking first fights and creating a stupid amount of space. Hopefully EG can carry form so people will give Jawg his flowers.

Hotter take, I wouldn't say top 3 duelist in general but I think he is the best raze in the world.

I believe at this point, Gen G has been playing nonstop since kick off, making both masters and almost winning both! I fear that they might burn out by Champs and drop out quickly. What do you guys think? With all the vods that are available for other teams, will they still be as dominant?

Toad is my guy fr.

It's rumored that DRX used a VPN to help GenG scrim at Shanghai. Korean brotherhood W.

I've never seen this on VLR. But it is common to hear it from everyone else LOL.

Champions Jerusalem is crazy LMFAO. Gonna be defusing bombs while getting bombed.

1/5 team players as winners is still more than every Korean player ever kek

Riot trying to script a rivalry so people actually watch Shanghai

completely different games lol

real

It's going to be exactly like the 360 version of CS. Tactical FPS just don't translate well into console.

New York would go hard. Either that or Prague/Venice.

Are you dumb? The FUT team that got pissed on isn't even the national team I built???

If we're playing that game, Zekken tied the international kill record against GenG, what's your point?

I'm also not sure why we're pointing out finishes that are just participation awards. Bro listed everything but first place LMFAOOO.

Alfa: Lock In Champion - 1st Place, Tokyo Champion 1st Place
cNed: Champs Berlin 1st Place

The only role Korea hard diffs is IGL. Korean teams, no matter how stacked they are have not historically gone far in international events. You just have recency bias because of Gen G. The champs winner in 2021, cNed was the star. FNC bending everyone over last year, Alfa was the best player on that team. A fully optimized Turkish national team would beat a Korean team.

ok now name a single one of these players with a trophy

A national team? Hell yea.

cNed on Duelist
Wo0t on flex
Alfa on Sentinel
Ruxic on Controller
and then either Yetujey or Qraxs on initiator

#1 USA
#2 Turkey
#3 Korea/Brazil

that'd be such a retarded move, they'd have to drop Klaus but he's their IGL so idk.

In terms of impact, the Ardiis 1v3 is going to be borderline impossible to beat. 1v3 OT, and you pull it off whiles stuck in a corner, seized and revealed.

Personally though, my new favorite is Jawg's ace to close out the game vs NRG. They had to bring back Puj and s0m after that LMFAO.

bro knew he had to leave after dropping 70 in a bo3 and barely winning :skull:

fook franchising

Imagine going from playing with the best IGL and team in the world (arguably), to a solid T1 team, and then all of a sudden out of your control you're in Tier 2 and now playing in Asia. Guy has had it rough, it'd be hard to perform for anyone.

What I'm trying to say is regardless of how the system was setup, at the end of the day, the two best teams in the world (at that time) played in a BO5 and SEN won.

C9 should be held in court for how hard they violated Yay. They might've singlehandedly killed the career of a potential GOAT.

I wouldn't say that currently. SEN won masters and got a bit sloppy which isn't surprising. They let their foot off the gas and got complacent. GenG obviously took the loss hard and has been turning up. My point was that at the time, during Madrid, GenG was the best itw and got beat by SEN so it can't be a mickey.

Dude they look fucking nuts man. It's the most typical Asian style of play too. Calm, collected, robotic. Their teamwork is crazy. They just look so solid. I really thought they'd crumble in Shanghai just due to how many games they've played this year. I thought they'd burn out but they're just turning up every match.

Regardless of the tournament style and qualifiers, after Shanghai, I can't see how SEN's win in Madrid could be a mickey. GenG looks to be the best team in the world right now, going on dominant upper-bracket runs in both Masters. SEN was able to beat them in a BO5 (idk how they choked so hard last masters.) I believe they'll get the first trophy for APAC which is super exciting.

hadi aslanim!

add Yay and this list is perfect

Today is the day that Karel "Twisten" Ašenbrener decided to solve a short-term problem with a long-term solution.

This chain goes out to him and all the other people whose lives stopped so abruptly. I've been seeing more posts about what to do when feeling depressed.

Just know that you are not alone and that millions are fighting the same battle. I hope everyone is doing well and staying safe. Love ya VLR, fight the good fight.

o7

yea but it doesn't say which org fell off because of its own stupidity. Regardless of the reason, Gambit unfortunately dissolved and fell off.

I think it's too defensive-heavy and a tiny bit stale at this point. If they removed logs and also shortened tetris so it didn't fully block you and it was only a head glitch on the defensive side, it'd be a lot better. I personally like the map though, it's like the mirage of Valorant.

he was already on there, swapped him with Yay

nah, crowds are too soft, riot wouldn't allow it.

Liquid in CS. More specifically the roster with Simple. If only they didn't choke so much.

Gambit in Valorant.

idk, I just see him get memed here a lot

ooh you right, let me switch those up

1. Shahzam
2. Yay
3. BabyJ
4. Wardell
5. Rossy

Would get booed on stage for every game

I'm assuming its because the matches following the Upper Final will be BO5 and will take longer so they're starting earlier. Maybe this first week is just a test run to see viewership at 2 am.

I hope so, or he spent 5 hours of data research and formulating an article just to get the response of "Allat."

Hey buddy, this is VLR not Google Scholar

Only people that don't like Lock In are the ones that had their team beat by bums in an upset xD

Impact, how many rounds your team wins and loses when you're dead.

Ah, I've heard it was with Aspas. Regardless, it's a shame that silly beef could stop such a good team from peaking.
