Gatekeeping a profession and saying something isn't involved in it doesn't mean it didn't take work. Actual weirdo take
lock in isnt representative of the year at all lol
1630 posts in 61 days is fucking crazy. You post over 25 times a day on average. Stop this madness my king, you deserve better
Demon1 should be 2. Alfajer had an insane year, carried an already individually stacked roster, only stumbled in a few matches at Champs
Ethan has to be top5 for me - his utility has been consistently the BEST flex ITW the entire season. His stats don't lie, and the degree of composure he brings to the team cannot be understated
I'm surprised you have Boostio above c0m - why is that?
EDIT: Just saw you said currently - then Demon1 is #1 simply based on a dominant tournament, same conclusions otherwise
demon1, jaw, ethan all been performing well the whole season. agree on c0m and boostio, but the others are easily top15
the impact he's had for his team has been insane though. he performed poorly in 1 match - who should be higher? something? he shit the bed far worse than demon1 in that series. jingg really hasn't had a good tourney, and mindfreak has been incredibly impactful, but statistically he's barely top20, even in just playoffs.
id say than is the MVP so far, 14/41 clutches is crazy and his util is just so impactful
what frauds got exposed exactly? trying to think of Chambers that faded into irrelevance post nerf... ardiis? kind of? tex for a bit? yay? i don't think one sample size of a team he did poorly in can really say he's heavily overrated - he was the undisputed player of 2022 for gods sake
your phrasing, at least in English, essentially says that because Brazil is historically better at VAL, we should care less about other minor regions that are not as good (i.e. Oceania and India). i get that you're only discussing what is happening in Americas now, so your point makes sense, but for global VALORANT, they can't just do that and ignore those regions
such a poor take. "this region is better than the others, so fuck those regions, just focus on this one" - how exactly do you expect other regions to be built up?
i'm not sure that fits into xenophobia. would people in Americas saying SHITMEA mean that they're xenophobic to all EMEA countries? or vice versa?
perhaps it's normalized xenophobia, but that would mean all sports are rooted in xenophobia, simply because all countries have passion for their country
"racist" - how does talking shit about a REGION have anything to do with race?
Why do you care about having a girl? They come into your life when you're ready for it. Searching for a relationship instead of naturally letting it happen is a recipe for disaster, in my opinion.
he's been 'trolling' since the start of franchising. i don't know if we can really say that it's trolling anymore
he went from being set up in every single situation/round and just needed to hit the shot, compared to t2 where he was forced to entry and play nothing like he was comfortable with. I don't think it's an apple-to-apples comparison
If we're talking raw aim, your list makes sense. Factoring in consistency
Alfajer=Something>Sayf=yay=Jingg=leaf>Demon1=Scream>Zmjjkk (rifle)
ZmjjKK>yay=Sayf>something>leaf=Demon1>Jingg=Scream (op)
ScreaM, Alfajer, Demon1, yay, leaf, Sayf, ZmjjKK, something, Jingg are all up there (no order)
Why is cauanzin in your top5? Genuinely curious
you can literally look at M80s team profile and see that NONE of them are American.
if jonah doesnt get picked up ill be livid. he's criminally underrated
they literally have zero American players my friend
you too my brother. hopefully the world will pivot in a better direction (non-capitalistic) so everyone can live with this mindset and not be punished for doing so (i.e. unable to survive due to lack of income)
I don't disagree at all. I am literally just saying - we have NO idea if UNI is playing to their max potential. Technically all the factors are there to favor them, but who knows if we're gonna see a new face to them today? I don't think we will, to be honest - they look significantly more sloppy that the NA reps when it comes to teamplay, esp. against FSN yesterday
that is accurate. what I am saying is, how do we know that both teams weren't playing to their fullest potential?
most likely, but who knows if UNI is playing w/ nerves too?
id have to agree. UNI look like best fracture team, Pearl tbd, no idea on other maps, so they could wipe the floor with everyone on the other maps, hard to say. but based on how they looked against FSN, I can see M80/TGRD taking them out 2-0
they have potential but not because of that game. FSN did not look good at all - they looked like a completely different team from yesterday, like they were just playing a ranked match. I'm not sure why they picked Pearl again even though their Ascent looked innovative/hard to counter
that being said, UNI are prob favorites to win the tournament, but that match was just really bad from Fusion, not amazing by UNI
me too. hopefully he stumbles onto this comment thread and changes his mind :) my mindset is if you're incredibly skilled in something and passionate about it, fuck everything else. chase your dream and make it a reality
my point still stands: if he were willing to forego the pressure from his family and the potential income of being a doctor for the passion of going pro, that would mean he prioritized his (potential) dream over a secure income/his family's desires. I'm not disagreeing with you, just saying if he truly wanted to achieve his full potential as a player, he'd give those things up.
maybe if you're going for money. going pro in any country isn't easy, it's equivalent to building your own business. if you're passionate enough about something, you'll sacrifice everything for it - sounds like he's taking the safer route, which there's nothing wrong with, but disappointing considering how much potential he has
Valid. I was mainly discussing him in comparison to 'pure' initiator mains rather than flex players, but I agree with his potential
Well said. I think he has the potential to be the best Skye in the world - his playstyle fits her perfectly. Sova and Breach? Not sure, but in terms of potential, yes, with how skilled he is, he has immense potential. I think with frod and saadhak helping him learn and grow, it's likely we'll see him be even more insane within the next 6 months.
I don't necessarily think so. He performs pretty well fragging-wise, but he's not necessarily in contention for the best initiator in the world. Don't get me wrong - he sets Aspas up fantastically, but he doesn't get the same level of map control/nformation that someone like Leo, C0M, or crashies do.
Perhaps that's because he's on Skye the vast majority of the time, but even look at his APR compared to those 3 - he's underneath all 3 of them when it comes to assists, which is pretty crucial when you're the main init on a team
I didn't push my interpretation. I said you interpreted it differently than I did, but it's more likely mine is accurate. I then called you out for trying to ego me. So, no, your comprehension skills are lacking.
Lastly, you've upvoted every single one of your comments and downvoted every one of mine. It's ironic you call me insecure. We're done here.
He asked for YouTubers similar to Will Tennyson, not for content similar to Will Tennyson's. You're assuming the latter (which is most likely incorrect, based on the grammar of his sentence).
You're pushing hard on that - your interpretation of his question. When I responded, it was clear I was discussing the YouTuber themselves, not the content (re: comedy). Now you're just doubling down on being a dick by angrily debating points that aren't actually debatable (since we're discussing different things), and you're also trying to ego me.
Grow up.
these numbers are just fluff
fnatic has 2 coaches, EG has 3
5 reserve players - you really think she has the time to just be absorbing everything these people who are meant to be a scrim roster are saying?
he asked for similar creators to Will Tennyson, not gym creators in general. that's your fault for interpreting his question incorrectly - don't try to shift the locus of the dialogue bud.
if he's asking for a similar creator, do you think he's asking for similar personality, or asking for similar theme? i'd have to guess personality, which means more humor focused, not just gym-themed.
"I'm going to minimize your point by using ad hominem to say you have invalid opinions" you went real deep with this for no reason
My man, he typed 106 words. How illiterate are you that typing less than 2 paragraphs of words is considered an essay?
The only similar ones are JesseJames and Alex Eubank. Others are not comedy (or at least they're not good at it)
Ascent: EG - how are we going to say LOUD when they got dumpstered by EG and have lost twiceon it? They aren't as good as they used to be; EG beat DRX and LOUD, both formerly n1 on Ascent, in this event. As of this present moment, gotta say they're the best.
Split: NRG/EDG - both look phenomenal on the map at this event, tough to say
Lotus: fnatic - look at their run on Lotus in group stage and at Tokyo. Then look at how they play - they look insane. C9 might be able to compete with them, hard to say though
Bind: PRX/fnatic - with something, I think PRX has to be the best. They beat DRX and NRG this event with a sub. Otherwise, FNC look solid on it
Haven: NRG/EG - NRG have always looked great, their midrounding is nuts, even with this new comp. But look at EG regular season - all tight matches against all great teams, then they beat TL, who is EU's #1 on Haven? Tough to say since we've barely seen it at this event
Pearl: I guess NRG? But who cares, this map is shit
Fracture: EG, no questions asked
So:
EG: Ascent, Haven (?), Fracture
fnatic: Lotus, Bind (?)
NRG: Split (?), Pearl (?), Haven (?)
EDG: Split (?)
PRX: Bind (?)
That being said, separate discussion, but fnatic wins this event with two map advantage.
Against EG:
Ban Fracture, Ban Pearl
Win Bind, Lotus; Haven, Ascent, Split 50/50
Against PRX:
Ban Bind, Ban Fracture
Win Haven, Ascent, Split, Lotus; Pearl 50/50
I'd have to agree, but that doesn't mean I think they're as good of a team as teams like C9, FURIA, and potentially Sentinels. If your gameplan relies on NOT being anti-stratted, how the hell do you plan to make a deep run at any event? Hope you get lucky and only expose 2-4 maps before playoffs?
I hope for their sake that they get a bit more into mid-rounding and anti-stratting other teams, considering Onur has said time and time again that they don't 'believe' in anti-stratting
lookin pretty shmexy :fire;
how feasible is it to give us the flexibility of choosing the fonts we want on the site?
Watch round 26 on Pearl. He coulda closed the series out but slightly misplayed - it happens to the best of em
though I agree, it's kinda odd to create threads just to shit on other people
dont bother. you're just going to taint your name, few on this site are open minded. even me typing this statement, with the sentiment of "don't bother arguing with people" is going to be downvoted, and likely babysasuke responding "another incel!" and getting 10+ upvotes because.. we're on vlr
