Man, you are having a lot of fun watching this tourney. Maybe its about the thrill, why people bet.

Despite the downvotes, this makes the most sense. If an esports is ever gonna make it massive, it will 100% be mobile esports, views over youtube, facebook will rule, as most people dont use twitch, especially a lot of asian countries. Its just not in the culture.

I think a detailed method on how it is calculated will be posted. It is a cumulation of acs, adr, KAST and everything probably.

we did ask for a buff though lol

Lmfao, nats vs acend was the first match I searched up when I learned about the rating system.

He's like a duelist, and phoenix ult is literally one of the only thing that even makes him viable at this point. I like how jett's ult is also like 7 points, she is a duelist and having ult a little more quickly incentivizes her to be more aggressive, whereas chamber and kayo ult are 8 points. Chamber is a sentinel, who shouldnt have a fast firing op every 4-5 rounds so easily, and kayo should be more careful and plan about executes with kayo ult as its not as easy to farm anymore.

Thanks to EnderKnight BG, whose comment I copied for you all who dont want to watch the video, which is good as well.

Thoughts?
Really love the sage buff on teammate healing, but the self healing to 30 was a bit overdone, it really incentivizes to heal teammates tho. I like the skye heal cost decrease.
They are also making ultimates more and more valuable and not just something you can easily expend.
Overall, this greatly reduces powercreep of agents and keeping them kind of difficult to play as well. I like the model.

Incredible, japan and korea, especially japan was unexpected. Also belgium and germany exposed.

Dude, at least you cant just go from bind A short to A heaven after a kill, after you tp, yeah you can run away, but a pplayer from shower could easily rush and kill you. Big nerf, but doesn't make him unusable.

Sandbagging

Wronski and bazzi probably better raze right?

Yeah, but its balanced. You can play raze to counter it as well, then you have people also using phoenix and yoru nowadays, which are viable duelists. Chamber on the other hand is too much even now. Ofc we wont just have 0% pickrate for chamber, but make it so KJ, cypher is viable to pick against it.

Exactly, no matter how hard shitnatic fails in big matches, they are certainly not shit enough to lose to ZETA.

dude, you are just delusional at this point. Players dont just lose their skills, esp when he was just insane at his peak in sentinel agents. You will see nAts, cned, chronicle, zeek farming most of these teams this kickoffs just as hard as ardiis, yay, shao, aspas did this year. Laz will be diffed into irrelevency again. just like after masters 1, where they would have been grouped if fnatic has derke.

less is a pure sentinel player lol

I know, honestly it was completely a coincidence acend won. They didnt deserve to win against VK, but VK did use a bug cam, so it is what it is. However, they really did have EMEA under their leash, which is why acend won over the other teams (it was almost a 4 EMEA team fuckfest lmao). Overall 2022 Champions was also good, but I didnt like the masters this year.

Champions 2021, easily it was just too good. SEN vs Brazil, SEN getting grouped, KRU storyline, Gambit crazy fucking comeback, Asia showing what they are capable of and also classic NA and acend winning (biased)

exactly lmao

The beginning of a new baiters journey. Welcome!!

I think its like half a star. Like we need 250 posts for 5 stars or like 250 upvotes or sth. Suppose you have 250 posts and 250 upvotes. But by the next 250 posts you get like 600 doenvotes or sth, you'd have like around 3 stars.
Look at showmu's account he had 5 stars but due to the new update or sth, he has like 3.5 stars maybe. Downvotes probably also have a higher weighting.

💀💀💀

Hiding in shame after being owned by suygetsu

it depends on downvotes. They have faar exceeded the amount of downvotes compared to upvotes lmao

100 thiefs in red bull is all we get. Where is brazil offseason, like East Asia has been really good, like Geng, Talon, DRX, zeta, Northeption.

pweasee 🥺 Sk Rossi champions winner, who tenz??

0 shots on goal in the last two matches against brazil. On absolute fire 🔥🔥

Masic is alfajer level talent. Both were playing in the same team and masic carrying hard quite a lot of times. He can easily fit in teams like BBL, FUT, Giants, KOI if they need a change of duelist.

maxie and pyth were playing against BOOM, PRX, XERXIA, TS in APAC league, not Amaterasu and rite2ace in skyesports india invitational.

.

he is just horny, i doubt he even watches valorant 💀

THIS! Yeah exactly, we can have trembolonarage, babysasuke, qwerty and it makes the site 10X better.

what is that??

dude, all you do is post yay better/c9 clears in every post 💀💀

Pretty good. I love how people actually think RRQ gonna finish dead last

Zeta run would not have existed if fnatic just had derke.

Should have posted it on site discussion, so mods could see

Dude you are thinking from international perspective. We know Talon aint shit even against kcorp/VIT/MIBR/EG but theyre 100% better than rest of Apac other than the best of the best japanese and korean team that is zeta and DRX, and finally PRX.

Hmm, how many thai/malaysian/ph/vietnam teams qualify with 4-5 good teams?

This is gonna be really bad. What's worse is Wronksi, Monyet, Texture and Bazzi all duelist/chamber star players lmao. So, if SkRossi in the team, we know for a fact either Bazzi, Texture has to completely change roles, some of them might even have to go controller and comm at a different language. Who knows, how hard are they gonna flex, they cant also go with all initiators and with chamber nerf incoming the need for cypher/kj will increase. Its a fuckfest.

I truely believe they stand no chance against the likes of DRX, PRX, Talon, Zeta. Geng, T1 also have the advantage of being full Korean teams, RRQ and GE is plagued with different nationalities, god knows if it will even world properly esp Texture and Bazzi having to hard adapt to english, it cant be that easy right?

Exactly, GE hugely nerfed OCE imo, they were on their way to top 4 APAC lcq, now Wronski gone. Korean ascension teams are robbed off of both bazzi and texture.

Indonesia has the highest depth in terms of player pool, but they really need to get their shit together and build a team that can compete against the best, because clearly BOOM, AE is missing the regions best players. GE and RRQ is ruining PH, Indo, Korea and OCE alltogether. That's my opinion.

Indonesia has the largest talent pool in APAC, but man do they fail to matchup against the best players of certain regions. Bit like EMEA from 2022, 3 teams in playoffs but failed to defeat the best of NA, Korea and Brazil if you knows what I mean.

Exactly, people dont understand how good DRX is. 2-0 FPX twice, nearly reverse sweeping Optic. PRX comes close but barely. There will be a huge disparity in the APAC league imo.

Definitely one of the better teams of APAC league. Just from mechanics alone, this thai core clears almost every team in SEA other than PRX. Dont know how they will fare up against international competition, but there's a reason XERXIA were undisputed 2nd best in APAC. I dont think RRQ, GE, or BOOM/AE have a chance against this team.

Navy S1mpel best player 🔥🔥

For real, I just watched it again, clearly a hate post against pakistan in the name of Godlike esports.
