open qualifiers were long ago
only way to know is if we put flor to the test

https://imgur.com/a/vCqBEgM one of many many examples

also this thread is proof itself too

this applies to all races, not just french, i never said this doesnt apply to other races but theres DEFINITELY hate directed towards the french lol

i make a post bringing racism/xenophobia against french people and u say oh this didnt happen and why dont u make this post for other races instead
lmfao

"probably doesnt even happen" is absolutely wild

ok but the thing is u dont even know if they are settlers or they are just of like isreali origin
they could come from israeli decent and live in vietnam with 0 connection to the conflict and whenever they say something it becomes invalid just because of their flag

also where they live is not their problem, they were born there and it might cost too much to move out/cant afford to etc etc etc
theres many levels to this but the vast majority of people see the israeli flag and just automatically start steryotyping them and catagorizing them

nah its been known same can be applied for every race
theres just no one to stand up for the french lol

the fact that its been known is why im making this thread because this shit should not be as normalized as it is rn

hate against isreal is just politically driven racism
u can hate what they do, but why come for the civilians who done nothing wrong xd

this is just incorrect
if u believe all races are equal to each other and no races are superior or inferior to any other race, the hating any race is simultaneously as bad as hating on another

thats not something to joke and be ironic about

i mentioned in my post saying that and u didnt address it and directly said u can dislike their culture, therefore i implied
its a valid assumption

yea i hate their culture so their entire country and everyone in it should be executed

do u not realize how extreme this sounds and how fucked up that its normalized just because its french

now if u substitute the french for the chinese or korean or something like that, it would be way different and u would have like 5 ppl on ur ass

u get my point

so u guys think hating on a nationality is ok?
???

"dont see us complaing" about it does not justify it being right
there is NO way u are justifying racism rn

hate against any ethnicity/race/nationality should not be normalized, doesnt matter if they complain or not

this is like saying nobody cares about americans, or canadians, or chinese
do u not realize how bad this is and the fact that its normalized lmao

ive seen so many instances on VLR where people preach anti-racism and the people who are racists get instantly flamed and downvoted, except when it comes to the french
ive seen many cases in which there are many racist/xenophobia comments towards the french and it seems to be normalized, guy said that all french ppl should be executed and it got like 20 something upvotes
this should not be normal, no? being racist/xenophobia, no matter to what race, still makes u a racist, doesnt matter black, asian, french, or whatever
the people who puts their shining white armor and play good guy to defend racism but turns around and hate on other races are no better than racists, yall are in the same group

for those of u pointing out that french is not a race u missed my point, xenophobia should not be normalized either

u can dislike their culture, but disliking their culture and saying that u have hatred towards their entire country and stereotyping their entire population is not ok

ive always used scroll jump cuz of cs habit but i changed to spacebar after i got a rapid trigger keyb and bhops are incredibly easy to time in val

could u not just keep it unchanged in china and change it elsewhere

game would be like 30-30 or something no one is winning a round on attack side

PRX
been a fan of their aggro playstyle, was my fav tier 1 team before something joined and became my favourite team after smth joined
my fav type of players are players with high mechanical skill
when something leaves my time is up

looks just like tenz too, no way people would notice

its valid if hes an aspas fan tho
its like being a lebron fan so if lebron changes teams u also do

if u know what ur doing it actually is not hard for the people who actually knows their shit

i made it to top 4 in a top 3 list, im honored

i thought that guy's spreadsheet was just ragebait and a troll account posting random horrible leaks on purpose to farm interactions and gain attention
but now im reading that hes just like a kid and he's genuinely trying to have good spreadsheets? and apparantly hes deactivated now because of threats or whatever
someone catch me up on if hes like just a baiter who got bored and just decided to drop it or were the death threats real and he just deactivated

most of these points are true but they dont contradict fnatic being great lmao
its like saying why was SEN never great because they fell off in 2022-2023
did they fall off in 2022-2023? yes. are they still one of the greatest orgs? yes.

yea i dont see it either thankfully

EDG disband
all champions winners are doomed to disband anyway

smthlikeyou1234 just created one

im uneducated on what a full custom waterloop is

so if i want to have 3 radiators i need 2 liquid coolers and one water block

any recommendations for the liquid cooler and water block?

this is what i needed tysm
so like 6 intake and 5 exhaust? or 7 intake and 4 exhaust?

if ur gonna ask sens u might as well ask for their mouse and mousepad

https://imgur.com/a/J2WrnYF
so this is my case
i have a few questions

1. for the radiator support, it says i can have up to 3 radiators, but i only have one liquid cooling system, would be putting 2 extra radiators without any cooling system be any different or useful?
2. the case says it supports 11 fans in total, would putting a radiator on occupy those spaces or would i still have space for 11 fans after putting the radiators on?
   do intake and exhaust fans have any difference?
3. for the dust filters do they come with the case or do i have to buy them seperately

idk why i thought 4000s>3000s>2000s> and so on LOL
i have a few questions for my pc too actually but im gna ask tmr

because solo Q means its more like RNG and random chance to rank up depending on the teammates that u get
finding a good duo MASSIVELY helps so that u dont rely on 4 randoms every game, its a extremely underrated tip that needs to be talked about more
and yes it will help u improve somewhat because if u get bad teammates a lot of the time u would have to go out of ur way to cover up for ur teammates mistakes

i mean if u rly need advice i would prob have to see how u play to give u specific advice
tilt peeking is definitely not good and its just a downward spiral if u keep tilt peeking
do u usually warm up before games? i suggest u spend some time in the range and deathmatches/ team deathmatches before u queue into games

also counter-strafing is not really that useful in val because val has different movement mechanics than cs, although there is no harm in doing it tho
personally i dont think "counter strafing" is the problem, every fight is situational and should be natural, u should not be thinking how to counter strafe in the middle of a fight
personally when i strafe i always have either one of A or D keys pressed down permanantly and deadzone to make myself harder to hit, u dont need to let go of both keys in val

also an VERY important point is having good PREAIM is better than having good aim, if u get what i mean. if u have good crosshair placement u should just be able to click when they walk into ur crosshair, so most fights u dont actually rely on raw aim. if u have to flick like 90 degrees to get a kill chances are ur dead. being good at slicing angles and preaiming at head level is really important in winning ur fights, if ur not used to it at first just make a mental note until it becomes natural

oh and i also suggest finding a good duo that u can rely on, that definitely helps

for the deadzone thing noted(an INSANE ranked demon who shits and terrorizes pros all the time) makes a good video on this about how to strafe recently https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_PaUdNxU-Y

not the OP but i can give some advice

yes if u wanna reach radiant you obviously have to play a lot but not to the point where ur burnt out and just on autopilot, in that case its better to not queue at all, although i did hit radiant playing like 25 hours an act

i cant rly answer the aim consistent question because ive never had too many problems with inconsistency
mental is a huge part of it tho peek with the intention and the hunger to kill and have confidence sometimes where the aim demons just hit ridiculous shots on u it makes u scared and less confident and it can have a snowball effect

as a former radiant peak player
do u not get bored or find this game tedious, i find this game starts to get stale and repetitive af

who r they gonna keep

I think demon1 would be good again in 2025, definitely not prime 2023 level but he would be good again
like tenz he had some issues with his gfs health issues and took a break he will be back

unrelated but ironically kayo has a voiceline where it goes yoru is dead but it sounds like yoru is gay

billionaire dollar company cant fund proper sound quality in 2 months

at this point idk if this is an another neon bait post or do u just genuinely hate neon
how r u so committed into convincing ppl neon needs a nerf u dont even give up with a 500 second cooldown lmfao
theres so many things wrong with ur argument

1. u are comparing a first person tac fps to a third person battle royale
2. i know u did not just compare an agent in a game to literal aim assist and crossplay
3. u used the comparsion of random shitting a pros because of controller aim assist, so if i take some random diamonds and ascendants and have them run neon into pros ur saying that pros wont stand a chance?
4. bro saw one silver 1 using judge and spectre in customs against plats and diamonds and decided yea lets nerf neon, common confirmation bias u search and cherry pick information that agrees with ur hypothesis
5. neon did NOT divide the val community
6. theres a reason why pros dont call it out or complain about it, it just seems like people dont know how to play against neon

now onto ur points- It encourages a braindead playstyle
??? if by braindead u mean but just jumping around and sliding on people (which is subjective) i guarantee u i could say the same for every agent in valorant. jumping around in the open with no fear of dying- this is simply just not true if they can use util (sliding and jumping) you can too

-no way to counter it
there is literally so many ways to counter it, let me just take a few seconds and list some off the top of my mind not including ultimates
breach stun
all blinds
prefiring
double peek
vyse wall
cypher trips
kj turret
simply bait the slide out then peek lol
remember that nothing is stopping YOU from also buying a judge
-lets terrible players play WAY above their skill level
.......what? literally the same can be said for literally every agent?

its not just ab that things get complicated with visas

derke
demon1
less
forsaken
keznit
asuna
sacy
kk
fns
flor

is he me tho

dude no way am i seeing words without a capital letter in the front? is this some sort of miracle?

jawgemo is a better jett raze neon and duelist overall than zekken imo

i mean jaw cant rly do much with that roster around him can he

to this day i dont understand why this guy decides to play on 400dpi 0.22 thats 88edpi

i was wondering too why is bro viewing VLR on a pixel camo background

holy shit https://imgur.com/a/1x59QHO

never used it so i put tenz as a test i tried to guess jingg but it wont let me so i did zyppan for some random reason
