state of valorant after watching this

#1

peppreish

watching this map legit just shows how professional valorant is not even at the tip of the iceberg yet. it's been 3 years and teams are still addicted to making the stupidest mistakes; i don't understand how this is still possible for the 2 best performing teams in the world atm

Everyone is still human, mistakes are part of our lives (even if you are trained/conditioned to not do said mistakes).

look at other esports like cs man (even tho cs has been out for 11 yrs) i just don't see how professional players can make silly decisions like this on a CONSISTENT basis

Valorant entire tier1 scene is made of subpar CS players, they have worse fundamentals

fair argument but stuff like this should be drilled into the head of any player in t1 no? like i understand certain mistakes (like s0m on pearl) but the outlandish boneheaded plays are not "mistakes", they're just a result of terrible discipline imo

Its not worse fundamentals. The only thing you get from playing CS is better aim. because for Valorant Its a different game, Difference pace, Difference maps, Abilities.

Trading, crosshair placement, power positions (positioning in general), map rotations. All these skills are transferred from CS, the worse you understand them, the more dumb mistakes you make.

This is a basic understanding of the game, you rarely see this happening but csgo frogs love to act like every cs player is a robot

"Basic understanding of the game" is not something everyone has at equal level.

Agreed. But at pro level? Yes it is. I do agree they sometimes make mistakes but they're more complex and fit more in macro situations and not just 'oh no trade' when theres multiple factors, you're basically hating to hate.

Complex mistakes are the direct result of Valorant players being supbar. It barely happens in CS.

You're sucking cs balls too much, ive been watching pro cs since 2016 and they make so many mistakes, its crazy for you to say they dont, i dont know why you'd cap so hard

Please explain how having good positioning on CS will give you good positioning on Valorant, A different game with different maps

WIth enough time spent playing Valorant, inherently better positioning players will make a lot less mistakes than others. Usually these players were also great at CS before. It's about understanding where enemy goes and what he does, map layout is just a variable.

Because tier2 cs teams have smarter players than tier1 valorant teams

nah cause tier 1 cs teams are paycheck stealers that's why they keep recycling players. Quality is just down across the board.

"look at other esports like cs man (even tho cs has been out for 11 yrs) i just don't see how professional players can make silly decisions like this on a CONSISTENT basis"

Entire tier 1 scene teams bunch of silly mistake leading to fluke runs. Cry more bro. Its even worse in cs now.

there is not a single team or match in t1 cs (esp in a major) where teams have made the same level of game altering boneheaded plays like this match or just in valorant in general

what do i even have to cry about ??? like it's just an observation idk what you're missing

you're actually braindead if they don't make mistakes how they keep consistently losing to random tier 2 and tier 3 teams? They're literally consider tier 1 teams at a major. Vitality had such a free final cause of it.

mistakes are legit part of the game dumbass, thats not what im referring to. there is obviously a spectrum of severity when it comes to certain mistakes and valorant players are still prone to making the stupidest decisions possible compared to any other esport

i don't get why ur still making this stupid strawman argument

ur entire argument is "t1 cs teams lose to trash teams so that means valorant players don't make way more mistakes than other esport players" how does that not sound stupid as fuck to you man

"i just don't see how professional players can make silly decisions like this on a CONSISTENT basis"

It's worse in CS, trust me. There's a player called NiKo whose team choked at map/match point in major grand finals TWICE. Both on 15 (scoreline needs to be 16-14 to win the map without OT). And a shit ton of other players.

So many players make mistakes, and I don't understand why people flame players for making mistakes; they're only human. I doubt you have the strength to be in the Grand Finals of Masters trying to win. You'd bottle it, just like everyone else in this forum. Everyone hates on players but don't have the balls to actually do it themselves and experience what it's like to be in their shoes.

this isn't specific to grand finals tho? and niko didn't choke by making a bad play, he just whiffed??? how is that comparable man

this is a problem in legit every tier of the game and it's obvious that teams need to work on disciplining their players more, like surely u dont' disagree with that
