me when I think a team watches another regions kickoff 2 days before their opening match and change a comp they practiced during their offseason

Don't go super fancy with 10 million lineups, learn 2-3 for each site and when to save recon for site hits on defense, most of all just play it a lot and feel it out on defense.

Theres a big issue in both games, in Val the abilities/ult dump rounds can be so silly and boring to watch and vise-versa in CS2 the amount of fucking saving due to poor ct economy in that game is unreal. Pistols are SO much more important in CS2 as well, as losing your ct pistol just condemns you to bad eco unless you win 3 in a row, while in Valorant they are still super important but at least some maps you can have some leeway if you get more rounds on the worst half of the map while losing both pistols. I'd argue that CS2 has more stomps than Val too due to said economy troubles, it looks like a close half with a 7-5 or something cts lose pistol force and lose and the map is lost 13-6. I will say that a evenly matched cs2 game is more entertaining than a evenly matched Val game but on avg Val is personally more enjoyable.

If you ever are near Kunming the Stone forest was pretty amazing to visit. The terra cotta warrior museum was also a great experience. They are pretty far from Beijing though sadly. I can't recall what sightseeing we did in Beijing besides the obvious trek to the Great Wall as it was quite a while ago I went, but the previous two were pretty memorable.

You can find them in other modes as well. Think I've ran into 3 or so in TDM and gotten a buddy through that.

Skins are subjective, I think altitude sheriff is gas but the average player thinks its trash. Pick what you like.

I mean upgrades take weeks so its not really hard pacing at all, just get bored.

Tier 2 player who deserves to be in tier 1 most(need a better name)

Best Tier 2 Prospect?

If you can hit Gold 3 you can easily hit Plat, plat lobbies have 0 difference from Gold Lobbies. Its only 5 or 6 wins.

Salt and Sanctuary and Risk of Rain 2 are my favorite singleplayer and multiplayer games, both affordable and is fun with multiplayer if you ever want to play with friends.
