Bang isnt in champions OR fut silly!

Of course! Haha
Im actually just happy that i got to talk about some of the things i learned about history in school.

ALEKSIB ON NAVI???????
WHO IS RAINWAKER???
WHERE IS ELIGE??
LIQUID LOSING TO ENCE??? WHAT HAPPENED TO US WE USED TO BE SEMI-DECENT WE WOULDNT LOSE TO ENCE

i dont follow too much CS, how is liquid doing

an americas team taking a map away from a european team that had an unbelievable winrate on said map
reminds me of... v1 vs liquid
history repeats itself (except better cuz goddamn this was a banger fucking match)

This large population actually DOES have to do with California and the US's history.
During the Californian Gold Rush, a massive amount of east asians, mostly Chinese, immigrated to California to either join the prospectors in a search for gold, or to found businesses in boomtowns and pre-existing cities that would be used by the aforementioned prospectors - for example, some started laundry businesses, which were a great convenience for any newly-rich prospector, or any prospector wanting to spend their time looking for gold rather than doing their laundry.
Korean immigrants came to the US as a result of the Korean War. Either people looking for jobs in California, or women who married American soldiers that fought in Korea.
For the Japanese, the US's expansion and development into the West Coast made TONS of new jobs (like laborers to lay track for trains, for example). Japan was relatively unstable economically and living conditions were often rough, so many came to the US in search of jobs that were largely scarce in Japan.
Filipinos came to the US because of instability in their countries government, and like i mentioned above, a ton of available jobs.
Armenians (west asian, but still asian) immigrated to the US in order to escape the Armenian Genocide which was enforced by the turkish/ottoman empire.

Southern California has a humongous asian population
Like others said, enough people to make entire neighborhoods of LA to be known as "Chinatown" or "Little Tokyo" or "Filipinotown", etc
My hometown that i have now moved away from was i think 25% white, 20% latino, 25% korean, 25% Armenian, and the rest 5% other various peoples (aka almost 50% asian)
Half of my friends from my hometown are Asian (Korean and Filipino, and Armenian)
Even the town i live in now, although it has much less of an asian demographic, still has a lot

Anyway - yeah, the crowd has a lot of asians in it because we had a ton of asians immigrate to California at various points in our countries history

pretty sure most people dont hate on her because shes boasters gf, that'd be weird
think its because of how she acts on twitter and is pretty biased towards EMEA when shes on the desk for matches

yeah first one is true but the second thing is just waffling lmao

the most effective bait of all time
why does it always get people, it gets used so much

GOOD FUCKING LORD THOSE SHERIFF SHOTS

i think thats probably it, when he is last alive and clutching since he doesnt have to IGL he gets to use all his focus on reads and how to play it, and less things to worry about so easier time aiming

I know people have already talked about this a lot, but its really impressive how much boaster has improved his individual play, both aim wise and personal decision wise. He was always a good IGL just really struggled aiming and decision making in duels. Now he is a lot stronger in that department and it shows in his performance and in his teams performance
Honestly one of the most improved (if not THE most improved) pro players since the start of val in 2020

ty for mentioning smokes/maps
its really not the shotguns themselves, its just how they work when combined with the high-vis val smokes and the tight angles in the valorant maps
a mag-7 in the corner A short haven is just as strong as a bucky is in that corner

no they are pretty similar strength wise (except for sawed off that shit is ass)
CSGO maps simply have way less angles that are strong for shotguns
and also, val smokes are much easier to see in than CS smokes which makes shotguns stronger
its not the shotguns themselves, actually, its the maps and also how smokes work

oh sorry lmao
my bad

the fuck

they have already made it a lot worse at range
what do you want them to do?? make a SHOTGUN bad at close range???

lets fucking go man!
Poor form LOUD was so sad to see. So excited to see them back like this, and against their strongest opponents yet too.

Looks pretty close.
Is FNC having an off day, or is LOUD finally back to form?
After all, we know loud is capable of beating FNC, after all - only reason they lost LOCK/IN was because of a humongous, massive choke.
...or do you guys think its only because LOUD's ascent is so good and the other maps will be much more FNC sided?
Whats it lookin like?

tf im agreeing with you
i want riot to listen to the userbase suggestions for a better game rather than the userbase just being quiet and not wanting change

"already confirmed" kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

you mean Jim?

W yosemite
humble and respectful
I like blg more now :)

^^^^
i love user input that makes the game better!

LMFAO WHAT
schizoposting from someone who had a bad time in comp

I play comp because its fun, but when its really the only thing to do, how could i not get bored?
even fucking Overwatch got something. semi-custom matches a year after its release with a bunch of settings like 1v1 and no hero restrictions.
People have been able to make CS maps themselves and put them in the games for ages and ages

After 3 years, we dont even have a replay system.

it doesnt exist and if ANYTHING kills the game it will be this
Custom maps (aka where most of CS's greatest maps came from)? Nuh uh sorry no fun
Custom gamemodes? Nuh uh sorry no fun
fuck it, user-made skins? Nuh uh sorry not even taking ideas
Any real communication with riot to suggest things, give feedback on updates, yada yada? No, email or post on r*ddit and hope some riot employee on their break sees it

99% of the reason this games content is so shit is because no one can be creative. The closest we have to fun content is ranked montages where people use bugs, or gimmick players, or the occasional customs videos (ex 5 silvers vs 2 asc type videos). Otherwise everything else is pure slop edater content, game ruining smurf content, or just plain boring clipfarmers no one wants to watch.
Without tools for user creativity the games userbase will deteriorate into purely 2 groups of 100% casuals and 100% sweats. We will never have a valorant version of WarOwl (specifically his recent stuff with "modded" type csgo) because we have no custom maps or custom gamemodes. We will never have fun ourselves in silly gamemodes, making maps, whatever. Like bro, i would spend so much time in a mapmaker if Valorant had one. But no. No silly usermade gamemodes. even fucking overwatch has those.
We dont even have a replay system.

Just like how ange1 is addicted to Snus, Navi fans are addicted to embarrassing themselves

you are delusional

oh fr? They are?

That’s what I meant, don’t rotate all away.
No anchor…

KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

Yes let’s all run away from a site guys surely they’re not faking a rotate

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

SENTINELMAIN377 POSTS WORST POWER RANKING OF ALL TIME

Aspas 15 FK’s compared to cNoob 12
Aspas clears bud

Congo1 detected opinion ignored

Idk where the idea that GIA has a chance comes from
EDG is so much better on almost all levels
Is GIA decent? Yeah. But not good enough to win vs EDG

Mid compared to his good form ofc, not mid in general

Even with his kinda mid performance he was still a much better duelist. 15 FK’s
Bro clears cnoob and zyppass even on a slow day

No I mean VLR has been glazing whzy for weeks he is NOT underrated
