I guess it's because he's been 100 Thieves' reason to be this far. I don't think I would put him though.

He's good, but I wouldn't put him in the Top 5.

Omen: Marved
Brimstone: Marved
Astra: MaKo
Viper: MaKo

That's how I see it.

I personally want M3C, but I'm fine with all of them aside from Liquid. Liquid would probably be bad as an EMEA representative.

-If you die in his ult, you respawn with full armor
-Reactivate ult to cancel it.
-Molly lasts 2 seconds longer and heal is doubled
-Wall works similar to Neon where you immediately summon it rather than having to cast it twice.
-Flashes cost 200

I think Yay is too good to push aside though, even if he is one dimensional.

stellar as sentinel/IGL

What a way he's come since being on TSM.

You really forget my man Aproto? I also still think Zander is a really good controller.

How can people hate this map more than Icebox or Breeze. Split isn't great, but it's still better than those piles of dog shit.

Worst and most boring map to watch competitive wise, I agree. Breeze or Icebox should've been gone before Split. Meanwhile Split seems to have the most variation with comps.

Over Breeze or Icebox? Reminder that some of the best maps played this year in pro play come from Split. Icebox is literally one of the most boring games to watch in pro.

ngl, OpTic + FaZe at Copenhagen would be a banger.

Honestly they could've done that, but they didn't need to raise the damn price as well.

The mwzera deathmatch stat copy pasta is my favorite on this website.

Alright Aussies, this is your chance to shine.

Jamppi was both the reason why they lost bind and the reason bind was so close in the first place.

If we're being completely honest, only Ethan. autimatic as well, but he switched back. I guess Hiko back in the day too.

This will be a legendary copypasta in the future

Well yes but actually no

Something that bothers me about player profiles on this website is how it doesn't really show off a player's or team's achievements right away or in the most flashy way possible when you click on one. The only way to see a relevant team placing (Masters or Champion wins) under a player is to scroll down through "event placements" at the bottom right of the page, and even then, you have to go through all the cluttered events and qualifiers to find a relevant one. It's not even highlighted super well anyway. Here's TenZ's placements as an example. I feel like a Masters and Champions win needs to stand out more on a player page, Champions more so than Masters. I mean, the Champion winners of Acend should definitely stand out more than this: https://gyazo.com/223fa18c0b03c1863c2d4f23bf86772d This is just completely lackluster looking for such a major tournament win.

Now let's take a look at dev1ce's HLTV profile. Highlights the basic stuff like his age (which also should be part of vlr), team, full name, and country of origin. Vlr doesn't do Top 20 lists, so ignore that. What I like about HLTV is their including of of major wins and trophies and achievements under the player image. It really highlights how accomplished of a player dev1ce is, instead of only highlighting his stats, like vlr does. Even someone as mechanically inferior as Zeus was for Na'Vi back in the day still highlights his achivements because he was a valuable IGL, despite the poor fragging capability.

Something as simple as putting "Masters 1 2021 winner" or "Champions 2021 winner" near the top of the player profile would look so much nicer, because as it stands, it is pretty plain. Sorry if I didn't explain this super well, but I feel like I got the gist right.

fnatic flair tells me everything

I'm still hoping to god they rework this shit. I can see Valorant esports just going down the shitter if we're limited to this many teams. I feel even more bad for the Latin and South American teams.

Honestly bdog over cryo is better.

This year I've been getting into reading fantasy books and it's been a blast for me. I'm still relatively new to the whole fantasy book genre, but I could use some more recommendations. Here is the little that I've accomplished so far:

Finished:
-Avatar Kyoshi novels (Took me a week to complete both books)
-Mistborn Era 1 (Took me a month and a half to finish all 3 books)

Currently reading:
-Warbreaker (about 1/3 into it so far)

Own and plan to read:
-Lord of the Rings trilogy (Have not seen the movies either)
-The Hobbit
-The Silmarillion
-Stormlight Archives 1-3

Just looking for recommendations to add to my goodreads.com list. I'm fine with stand alone or long standing series as long as it's not too long. Below are series I plan to read or don't have interest in.

Don't own yet, but plan to get:
-The Kingkiller Chronicles
-Mistborn Era 2
-Rhythm of War (Although this depends on if I enjoy the other Stormlight Books)
-The First Law
-The Green Bone Saga

Not interested in reading:
-Young Adult or Middle Grade (Kyoshi novels were an exception since I love the Avatar universe and it was my first fantasy novel)
-ASOIAF (maybe if Winds of Winter actually gets released, then I might dive back into Game of Thrones)
-Wheel of Time (too much of a commitment)
-Anything else by Brandon Sanderson (I've already got enough from the Cosmere)

I still thought it was good, especially the first half of the movie, but wasn't a massive fan of the second half.

-Your Name
-No Country for Old Men
-Avatar

It used to not be, but nowadays it is. It's a good satirical film though.

L for Coraline.

Derke is becoming a Chamber one trick now. Played the agent the last 5 maps he's played.

This will be a hood classic in a couple of years

Wait so you leave the shit in your ass? That's gross man

GIGACHAD

I will say, Valorant NEEDS crowds sooner rather than later, because holy shit does it make the experience incredible. The more events we get with no crowds, the less exciting they feel.

They traded with T1: https://twitter.com/T1/status/1526004723685265408 T1 Xeta, wtf?

I mean, a Kay/o or Skye would be nice for Breeze and Ascent.

Name checks out

One Piece

Yea NA isn't great, but I found the last CS:GO Danish LAN crowd to be the worst I've ever seen in esports so far.

Yes they won 13-8 on Ascent against FaZe

I find it fitting that the two finalists of Masters 1 are playing at the same time.

I really like how OpTic utilize Neon wall.

True!

Also true

Of course Brandon (bdog) Sanders is a god, since his name is so close to a goated fantasy author

sheesh bdog with the +33

SicK should at least put some time in Brimstone for certain maps. Astra is no longer necessary, so all he needs is Brimstone for Bind and Fracture, Omen for Split, Ascent, and Haven, Sage for Icebox, and whatever the fuck for Breeze.

No Raze on Bind is so troll. Even before the Jett nerfs, Raze was preferred on Bind. Brimstone or Astra over Omen on this map for sure. Sova is still fine on this map, but definitely a bit dated, especially after the nerfs.
