they had a good showing on their own map then couldn't play for prx's meanwhile everyone but johnolsen was feeding the entire game

meanwhile, for drx they pushed their map to 14-16, won their own convincingly and fell off from a lack of stamina, the stats show that buzz went crazy, did individual heroics and that's truthfully what changed the final map, he was basically neutral statistically before last map where he got basically all his +kills

in conclusion, context matters and it was a differential in experience and skill, both of which drx should have on their side but they didn't, this took me like 20 minutes to look at and i didn't even watch the game, do a little bit of work next time and u won't have a dogshit take again

prx fair enough, drx nearly lost to full sense, i don't wanna hear anyone saying they are good rn

i can +1 this, heard it too

what this person said

+1 for both u and him

he was good on 1 team once ig

the fact that people say they are a "taking away from women's opportunities" when the entire scene is literally defined by Valorant "Game Changers is a series of domestic competitions for women and other marginalized genders within Valorant esports." on the wikipedia

Note the other marginalized genders within valorant esports

it's just, as #11 said, an excuse made by either or transphobes or ignorant people unwilling to learn

i mean dude, they changed the roster and they started winning, it doesn't really matter how good xeta or k1ng are, they clearly weren't helping the team

really good video to watch to explain that jinggg is actually one of the best players itw if the stats are good

Americas (home of everyone noteable apart from fnc, prx drx)

China (has most growth and potential)

Pacific has more potential than most emea teams at this stage

Emea dead apart from like 3/4 teams

TS is a lot higher than that in reality, i just don't know why they aren't ranked higher, and why they don't play better, because i see a lot of promise in their gameplay a lot but i guess their problem is just lacking the work ethic to go further, but idk

i submitted a request for termination after failing to get banned, i just gotta try to stick the 30 days out all good^^

i did this it got me 3 days

is there any specific way or is it only for disruptive behaviour?

title

saying tuys and aspas have very little difference is crazy

How do u rank up from ranks like plat/ascendant and break through the consistent mid that is these ranks

ngl i just quit playing when my main went down to like ascendant, that rank is just the wild west imo, no one does anything properly

ngl man, it looks a lot more mechanically sound than anything else i watch, vod review EDG and look at their movement/mechanics and it's like i'm watching someone like yay again ngl, it's really nice to watch, not to talk about their ability to trade, i remember on breeze against FPX smoggy (i think) saw 2 players swinging him so he just kept poppin swinging so his teammate behind him killed both, the decision making is INSANE

potter is gonna be there too^^

i could honestly see sentinluls beating chokerx

i just sit mid as chamber 90% of rounds and either get value off lurk kills or lurking up on a/b late, it's pretty one dimensional

it's crazy how they removed breeze, reworked it and still nobody likes it

"apple is the only option because my entire family runs apple and won't let me run android"

i wish u luck soldier, stay in there.

people focus too much on 1 game or 1 result, listen to any athlete in anything and they will say the fire inside them only gets stronger when they lose, this is a good thing in the long run, if u just win everything all the time you'll become complacent with the average

i found the best play is holding middle to hold left/right side and then if they don't peek into you and give u a free kill you can just swing with confidence knowing they are on the other side than u held

i'm copying this from capital_d_colon so credit goes to them

i feel like if there's anyway u can defend eg being better with those stats, your just lying to yourself tbh

reminds me of suygetsu ngl

what's funny is that u people don't understand how the game works if u actually think kills against matters kek

so far i'm noticing they are really good players in general, but there was some flaws i'm noticing that everyone else follows, for example kinggg being 1 off viper ult and saving when their entire team has 5k, it just seems stupid no, if he gets 1 kill he confirms ult for next + he takes some of their money away for no cost, this shows a lot during almost every game i watch of them and it's worrying practice if they do wanna compete at the top, i used to be an onur dicksucker but it started after he became a part of the team, so i wonder if it was him who caused it

kinda hype no?

yeah but there's nothing more? like that's just it, so sadge

to be fair, he is playing against the most consistent jett apart from maybe yay in the past 3 years

putting C9 that low is criminal ngl

https://valorantesports.com/news/competitive-ruling-dawn-dawn-park-and-vivian-risorah-dela-cruz/en-us
source for the dox's, these players identities were pretty unknown beforehand

Yeah but that ruling is shit, i wanted something more but riot refused, Riot has doxxed other professional GC players for much less to out them so i figured it'd be the same

Don't listen to Shawn he has awful takes anyway

Anyone know what ended up happening to them or the supposed cheater in their team, i just haven't seen anything for it past a month or so ago, i expected a ruling.

focus on your own team first lil bro

Edit: god damn people seem to agree

well i heard EG got a lawsuit against them from previous pros (i believe one or two) from a previous game for basically keeping them in contract jail, so maybe valorant team did the same, maybe EG need new players, who knows

how the fuck did i miss this lmao

what are the odds u have a levi flair just because aspas joined

is this actually confirmed

he wasn't the worst, but seeing him play he'd almost consistently underperform, he needed setup just to be able to get kills a lot of the time and other top duelists like aspas, derke and others don't get that and still gets kills, that's truly imo the main differential

i disagree with NRG/DRX, I think currently PRX EG or Lev are top 3 with current forms for Americas and EDG will probably overtake DRX unless drx gets their shit together and sticks with a roster

never signed with anyone after leaving Leviatan, No real rumours i've heard yet

probably due to the fact levi knows how he plays, and i loved the guy but he's a fucking 1 trick like wardell, he can't get a kill he picks up an op and hopes he hits
