those are so real fr

the reality that a lot of people seem to miss is scrims don't = how well teams actually perform, the purpose is for trying new stuff, seeing what works, etc.

i mean, for example lets say prx run a 5 duelist comp is scrim against a t2 team and go 13-10 and the t2 team wins, the context matters a lot there doesn't it

Ty^

Not if u have only sim'd 1-2 matches out of a bo3, it would only allow me to go back to the main screen again, it ruined my progress on tournaments tons of times

This is the realest shit i've ever heard, but easier said than done, as i say to anyone who says "can someone dodge i suck at this map"

if u continuously dodge the map and hate playing it, your gonna stay shit at it, the only way to become less shy and stop thinking what other people think is by getting up, going and realising the harsh reality is, nobody is even really gonna notice you, they are doing their own thing xd.

I'll be honest, i hate how when i sim a match and press "new match" it goes off the tournament i'm playing and not just back to it

Also on top of this, mentality may not be the issue when it comes to the 2nd half fall off, when u play the same way for 12 rounds then the halfs change then u need to adapt to how they play on defence instead of attack, so u may also lack adaptability too, hope this helps :>

set achievable goals consistently getting slowly better and don't allow yourself to revert back, stuff like saying "nt" every single round no matter what happened in it and whether it was close or a whitewash and saying the same after every game, there are other ways I could probably come up with some thinking, but that's all I got rn

I mean if you don't believe that u have a point then you'll never actually be able to beat teams like that but at the same time you need to tone down your ego and make sure your being level headed and realistic with the stuff you say, but at the end of the day it's a podcast, he's probably just messing around for impressions

Imo best coach isn't the one which is able to take 1 team which is already amazing on paper to a high ranking, it's teams like early optic where everyone is kind of unproven and they became the best that imo is what makes a good coach, so imo the only names here considerable are people like Chet, due to Optic/NRG and Onur due to the fact he went to Kru, he made them a top contender, he went to Leviatan, he made them a top contender and now he's at Case i fully believe they can be a top contender too and possibly some others i'm forgetting

also do one for Leviatan

the fnatic one felt like a person attack and then i hit the "easily offended" part 10/10

i've had this exact model for 6 months, no problems whatsoever

same one i've had for 6 months now, it's worked well for me

bros literally living rent free in your head

how did RA lose to Dragon

this fully reminds me of jinggg in prx ngl

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

sources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valorant_Champions_Tour#:~:text=Valorant%20Game%20Changers%20is%20a,marginalized%20genders%20within%20Valorant%20esports.

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

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrLtJSpaSLI

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?

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
