look i dont really think its a big deal but its also dumb that you think players shouldn't dispel random ass rumors ("opinions") from vct staff if they make them look bad

its one thing if its gigarandos on a forum making shit up but when u know tens of thousands of ppl are gonna hear and believe it why is it wrong to speak up. dryad is reputable she isnt Valorant_Fanboy_69 on reddit

because if you're actually as good as anyone on the list the odds are ur grinding t2-3 lol

admitted the nrg classic is ass and was impossible to sell

meh anyone would react that way to a person involved in the scene spreading (false) rumors about your team on the biggest valorant podcast lol

for nrg when they were building this years roster

said he was grinding kj and cypher for them and that it looked good
also that he was a good teammate that worked hard
W vouch hope he bounces back next year

bro fell off after iceland

yeah i think that's overarchingly the case in most countries. some of the social strife is less race related in places like brazil and more channeled towards classism and other types of prejudice but for the most part you can never really tell what people are thinking behind their actions

my belief, and what i consider the optimist's take, is that racism in most circumstances are just the result of lack of education and experience than a deeper, primordial hate. it's very easy to believe certain things when you never really have the opportunity to get those beliefs disproven to your face

people associate racism with america but the reality is that's only because america is the most socially developed in actually tackling those issues. in lots of european and asian countries they have all sorts of race guided vitriol that just is passively accepted into the background. no discussions about it = must not be a big deal xd

it's good to remember that social progress doesn't really happen overnight as much as that would be nice. realistically in the scale of the world legal inequality, slavery, apartheid, etc all are very close to present day. to fully move past takes a long gradual process. and a lot of hateful old people dying lol

the fact that there was a universe where geng dont get to champs is already proof enough that points make no sense

about to get a GEN G2 FNC EDG group

putting tourists on some niche pretentious shit never works
literally just recommend every new guy FMAB and move on

found an old reddit post that had it no code cuz its from 4 years ago

that shit is tarik's old cs crosshair 😭

he peaked at the DRX clutch and been on a gradual descent since

sucks lately but he's irreplaceable as both igl and language god

ok so its actually worth watching dope

winner gets bye to second round right

beast player and i think geng was the best possible team for him. 4 experienced teammates and a legendary veteran coach

dort whats ur endgame bro do u cum in ur pants every time someone ratios you with an nrg roast or something

i dont get emotionally invested its chill
if the team i like wins its sick
if they lose damn that sucks oh well

it wasn't an individual gap vs drx (kinda was vs prx) they were just a total mess and fucked up every single strat they tried

corn on the cobtroller

i have them down as the high upset potential team
majority of their issues rn come from lack of enough practice and shit communication. things that should get ironed out in the next few weeks

for once in the history of valorant i feel like pacific is the strongest region going into an event
geng - goated per usual
drx - mako getting better at igling, all the players are shooting like crazy
prx - standard paper rex but now they have support + psych staff to help alecks
talon - wildcard, able to beat secret with 3 days of prac will probably level up by the time champs comes

runner, what is bro running from?

he's a character fs but people always do this thing where when they dislike someone they just treat them like they suck
frost has seriously elevated talon regardless

if u check his yt channel old vids he grinded all sorts of random fps games which is part of it i think
compared to the ppl that only played cs all their life then went to valorant are normally good at the game but have mid mouse control

no aim trainers is the insane part, people grind thousands of hours on kovaaks to get that type of mouse control

okinawa kappachungus

never played fn but it reminds me of widowmaker crouch spam in overwatch

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3P5G5wsIFmQ reference

1) "less" style instant strafes on contact with an enemy before shooting
2) strong preference for 2 bullet burst. so much confidence in his own aim that he sometimes flicks off players after two bullets
3) spam taps movement keys to clear angles
4) loves to spam tap crouch, never commits to it, constantly spams crouch while strafing during gun fights to throw off the enemy
4b) when holding some angles he'll intentionally place xhair at above headlevel, then crouch briefly when they peek to one tap them
5) strong crosshair placement and preaim paired with extremely fast reaction time give him high edge in lots of angles

his crouching playstyle is pretty uncommon and interesting imo

i don't really see them winning it was more just a hypothetical for the goat discussion

eh i don't really feel either way but if you're talking about better year you can't pretend like bombing out and missing an entire event doesn't matter

people do remember 2nd places, optic is considered one of the goat teams because of their 3rd, 1st, 2nd run

could be close if talon dont play like braindeads but prob not

if prx fumble this there is gonna be the ugliest group of death at champs ever Lmao

if top 2 in champs is SEN then GENG
SEN (1st, N/A, 1st) vs GENG (2nd, 1st, 2nd)

real ball knowers knew that this DRX has the same level of firepower as GENG if they realize their potential
they're just gatekept by mako learning how to igl

nah but they could def beat drx
geng and prx are still a level above, maybe by the time champs comes they could match up better

Depends on MaGOATs igling
Really wish they kept stax but it is what it is

(compared to other languages) its pretty easy. i learned it in uni and after like a year i could hold a conversation fine

every time primmie clutched the casters would address his parents
saying shit like "mom are u seeing this" "college is important but let him play" "hes too good to go to school"

yep lets ignore all the other factors and context of the match that made his performance impressive

ur a midwit pretending to be levelheaded

you're acting like some rational above it all guy but don't realize how far in the other direction ur comment was lmao
my comment is an accurate depiction of the scenario without making a statement on him being a "god", yours was an intentional bias against him

Brother you do too much signaling about how much the community affects you
In good faith im sure some degree of it is trying to bring awareness and make a change but the freaks flock to those that they know are annoyed by it
Gl next

trying mega hard to downplay it for what
he played insane on his first ever pro match. on stage, in an elimination match, with a team that had three days of prac

newzera clears

primmie timeline
2025 - entire year with talon, farms reputation as superstar player
2026 - gets offered the bag by rich org who wants a global superteam
2027 - goes back to thai team after the global superteam sucks ass because no synergy
2028 - thai team wins champs

i thought white girl music was like tswift, olivia rodrigo, sabrina carpenter bro

vanity is the best fragging igl if they remove every gun in the game except judge
