freeing knows how to play sova. its just that tejo is meta rn so thats all he is playing. he isnt a one trick even though rn it seems like that.

flashback for sure. freeing is too good, mako is a goat controller who is extremely consistent and reliable even if he doesnt put 2022 numbers up anymore, and hyunmin has amazing aim and gamesense. flashback cant lose his confidence that he has rn otherwise he will be chopped on the block. but the thing is as long as they get past 5th 6th, termi shouldnt make any changes.

mako

The real issue here is how embarrassing it is that in both groups, the bottom 3 teams simply don't deserve to make playoffs at all. LEV, 2G, LOUD, EG, FURIA and NRG have played awfully through stage 1. The gap between the top 6 and bottom 6 somehow grew so much, and I can't explain why this is happening. Americas is not in a good state right now if half the region is underperforming this badly.

RRQ is actually surprisingly looking really good. They could come out second in their group with their performances far

I know DRX is just farming low level pacific teams like GE, but estrella putting up prime mako numbers on omen is not reassuring for beyn, who is at risk of being dropped or being benched once again. I know that DRX is only trying to get better and sadly beyn was the weakest link, but his self confidence must be 6 feet under by now, especially after how he was feeling like a burden for the team during kickoff. I wonder what he will do now.

Well being cautious to change hasn't got drx a win in a very long time so I can understand why they would have switched thngs up now

Didn't boom absolutely thrash GE a couple of weeks ago?

yep. watching furia, nrg and lev play makes me want to gouge my eyes out. its a bad sign if C9 is in the top 3 in your group. you have to really suck for that to happen.

can we all agree that it is appalling that at least one of NRG, FURIA and LEV will somehow make it into playoffs? i would rather take 5 teams from the other group than let any of these three teams actually have a shot of making it to toronto because realistically, they are coming 8th even if they do qual to playoffs.

i dont want beyn to be dropped. he has been stepping up since stage 1 started. :(

answer the rest of them.

Ok but do you think he is better than prime mako or prime som or any other of the best initiators at their best? Like pancada, marved, etc etc

Mako because he is still my favourite player after 4 years

Let everyone die honestly. The only people worth saving are those who aren't active enough on this site for me to know. Actually I would save geospliced or mortadelo but let everyone else die for all I care.

So we are just lying now? I didn't even include leo out of pity but you can't even accept my take? You are genuinely pathetic.

I hate you for necroing 😡

Oh. Don't jump. You will traumatise other people that way. If you are really going out, at least have the decency to not hurt other people on your way out.

?? Alfa and chronicle mog johnqt wtf are you talking about

Oh no... termi please don't do anything rash...

The money he is being paid to spread governor propaganda

Vitality dropping trexx was still such a mistake, idc if cyvoph is very good. I hope they regret dropping my goat.

NOOO GIVE SKYE DOUBLE RECHARGE FLASH 30 SEC COOLDOWN!!! i want to be able to play her again!!!!!! >:(

Why only OGs? I don't understand. Also is Frieren worth watching? I've heard amazing things about it but I have no time rn and other stuff on hiatus that I want to watch and read.

whoa too close to home dont dox me now. thats toooo close to home

Ooh close, I live in south West London so not Ealing. I don't want to expose myself because that's a little too close to home, but I will give you one more guess on what borough I live in.

Ok that was too easy. Guess using cardinal directions(North, East. West. South etc) that part of London I live in. Hint: it's not a trick question and it's not just one. You have a 1 in 4 chance to get it right. Bonus points if you guess what borough of London I live in.

UK

Bro has lost his mind 😭😭😭

Me. I live in the UK btw

Idk

you are only mad because you know i am telling the truth. also its easy to qual to international tournaments consistently if you are playing in a league where you just farm all your terrible opponents. maybe this will be PRXs wake up call to remind them that they really aren't that good.

Just goes to show that PRX has only ever played against terrible opponents, and also goes to show that pacific is finally improving.

we will see if you still say this when DRX obliterates GE in a couple of weeks time.

Fair enough. But iirc there used to be multiple threads every time flor played in GC on this site. The transphobia was really bad. I can understand why the OP felt repulsed by the users on this site. These threads often got banned within 24 hours but these types of people definitely exist and lurk on this site as well. Some of them may have been ragebaiters but some of them genuinely sounded like bigoted transphobes.

Do the people on twitter and twitch not count as part of the valorant community? There might not be too much hate on vlr.gg but it definitely exists on other platforms.

It would make sense, IF the community didn't have a long history of slandering florescent and other trans GC pros for being trans. Whatever your beliefs on the topic, an undeniable truth is that riot made GC for all marginalised genders, and back when flor played in GC, a lot of hate was sent her way simply for being trans and playing in the GC scene. If you think all that hate magically disappeared, you are an idiot. The sad truth is that the community didn't hate flor because she was too good for GC. They hated her because she was transgender. This hate is subconscious for a lot of people, meaning they don't even realise that they hate flor because she is trans. There was never a problem with other players being overhyped but all of a sudden everyone sees it necessary to abuse the player for the fans overhyping her? There is definitely some underlying hate for flor there.

My issue is with the people who think that it's a masterpiece. And sadly there are too many of those types of people. It is a generic story which has good fight scenes but everything else about the story is average.

He is very good but he has had a little bit of a fall off since 2025 started. Let's hope he gets back into form so that drx can win something this year.

Not you BUFFING THE FUCK out of sova! I can't wait to go back to the sova meta of 2022 where pros and players acted like sova was the only initiator to exist. Also why do you hate recharges? We saw how no recharges massacred skye so why do we want to do it for all agents? It's only 1 ability and you can already only use it 3 or 4 times a round max in most cases. And none are super OP in any way apart from guided salvos

no one loves mako more than me.

Uh guys did you read? If you post here and GX wins, YOU have to send KFAN a code for a valorant gift card. We should not be replying to this.
Edit: I rescind my entry in this bet. I have no faith in vitality.

he is good at the sentinel role. but do NOT let him play anything else. otherwise he will be exposed as an AWFUL player on any other role.

so you watch the game for the players instead of the gameplay. good to know

no, dambi is actually terrible. a neon one trick. he needs to leave this team if they want to do better.

yep. the entire team was awful before demon1 was subbed on, so bcj was actually performing the best compared to the rest of the team. once demon1 came in, though, they all suddenly began to play properly. bcj got done dirty by EG :(

exactly. when i read solo leveling, it was the second manwha i had read, and when i read the LN it was the first one i read. then i read other LNs, manwhas and webnovels and i can safely say that solo leveling has tumbled down the rankings as far as enjoyment goes. its sad to see how everyone thinks it is the best piece of fiction ever when it is nowhere near that.

Yep I think that was the turning point. A lot of people were introduced to anime in covid but their standards for a good anime were so low. And it doesn't help that anime already has a bad reputation with romance anime being associated with soft 🌽 but now it seems that the only anime that become popular are ones with good action and not much else. Demon slayer is OK but having read the whole manga, it isn't anything special imo. It's a fun watch or read, but like I said with solo leveling, it doesn't make me feel any different after having watched it. At least demon slayer has more story and emotional scenes in it, but there are so many lowkey and underrated anime that are much better even if they don't contain any action. This is why I quit watching anime- all the mainstream stuff is not very good anymore, and actually I felt deterred from watching any other anime that may be good because I feel like my taste in anime has been ruined by these popular anime and I wouldn't be able to appreciate a good story anymore.

The rise of solo leveling in the anime community just goes to show how the standards of anime watchers have dropped immensely. All they care about is what they can see on the screen. Nothing about solo leveling is of good quality apart from the top tier animation. This started last year with the release of certain anime (I won't give names but I'm sure you will know which I am talking about) that had a decent storyline but were full of well animated action and that's what the community loved about the shows. Solo leveling has a terrible story, extremely fast pacing to the point that no other character apart from the MC even gets decent screen time, an MC that pretty much infinitely scales in power and doesn't struggle in any fight, and an MC that has not lost a single fight the whole season. Is this really what people enjoy now? I can watch it and appreciate the good animation but it doesn't make me way "wow, I'm glad I watched that" or "that was a good anime" at the end of it. Good anime used to be hyped up a lot, especially if they had a good story and world building, good characters and character development. Now it's just about which anime has the best fight scenes and animation, when anime used to mean so much more than that before.

That is G2. You can kind of trust that they know how to play it.
