Just because it's a different culture does not mean that we have to agree that the crowd is hype.

Never Forget.

So many lost series for Optic but Yay is still the top performer in the server most of the time. Is there really no better option?

Asuna's thoughts regarding Yay. How deluded you must be to think that yay is consistent only because of his team and not that he literally out duels his opponents 90% of the time.

FNS vs Ange1.

Not Icebox.

Yay could have been so much more with a better team.

1st Masters- Champion; 2nd Masters- At the very least 3rd; comes from a region where the other teams can't win a single series against international competition for the life of them (All the teams sent by EMEA, APAC, Brazil, Latam & Japan at least won one series). Let us appreciate the team irrespective of the upcoming results.

Professional analyst BTW.

I have a feeling that Optic wont make it out of the groups this time. I am feeling sad. Its hard being a fan of any competitive scene.

What happened to-" deffo selfless duelist"....."deffo's job is to make space"..."people don't understand Valorant if they suggested about benching deffo"...."deffo doesn't need to frag in his role"

I guess M3C doesn't understand Valorant anymore....they started removing deffo from every duelist roles.

deffo gatekeepers, have you tried contacting Redgar about this issue? Show him the truth about Valorant.

Come to Valorant-> no skills required->easy championship-> Easy money and fame
What's to think about? It's a win win situation.

People bitching about Chamber......if Chamber gets nerfed into oblivion, people will again move back to Jett because using the operator on any other agent is f*cking inefficient. You can't simply ignore the operator in a tactical shooter just because your precious players are unable to counter the operator.

Imaging bitching about Simple using the AWP in every thread....Valorante really a children's game with the amount of bitching the player base do.

100t fans are the worst in this regard. Just a reminder that Cryo bitch slapped you on the nerfed Jett using the Operator.

People will go back to jet again (if Chamber is nerfed into oblivion) simply because the operator is not so efficient with almost all other agents.

Just imagine though...People bitching about Simple Awping......Bunch of crybabies in the Valorant fandom because their precious players can't use the operator.

The ugliest map with the least comp variation remains.........Why tho?

...Only the memory remains.

Trying to bring logic to a bunch of 12 year olds. If all the star players start playing Reyna tomorrow and they will surely have stellar stats, VLR people will call for a Reyna nerf.

Stomps own region-> OMG!! DRX is winning masters-> Can't even finish top 4-> Back to Korea and the cycle continues.

He streamed 2 consecutive days in the past week. Goddam it.

Conor= Sentinels.....Shares the same qualities.

Are people this delusional? If we are talking about worldwide popularity then its obviously Sentinels. Zeta will not even be in the second place.

Don't know but my Youtube and twitch streams behave very differently irrespective of the internet quality.

I don't use app sadly.

Do I have to sub for enjoying a buffer free stream? Even in 360p, twitch has always buffered for me but I have no such problems for Youtube stream even at 1080p. Is it common? Is there any solution?

DRX fans are approaching Sen fan's level.

In his recent stream, Yay said he practices for 12-13 hours daily. Then there are other big name pros having 6-7 hours "free" time outside of practice but claims they have been working hard.

Famous G2 comp on icebox and also used by Fnatic. Do you even watch any quality games?

Very strange, "mostly" non awp players are complaining about Chamber being OP. Chamber being an agent whose two abilities are just guns and the only ability useful for the team is already nerfed. Curious.

Many people have claimed that they find Optic boring. What do you consider as boring? Optic has time and again implemented so many new comps featuring neon, breach and recently fade with yoru. So many clutch moments from the Optic players and Yay is Yay. At this point, I feel like people consider spray transfer as peak form of excitement.

....One trick pony of all time.

Meta change......What's that!?- Sen and Acend probably. The most inflexible teams in response to the current meta change.

Twitch- 110k and Youtube-80k, nice support for a qualifier match.

This is the meta where we will see more and more comp diff.

Nothing. They can lose for 6 years straight and still be the most popular team in the world. Don't underestimate the delusion of a common tenz fan.

And 100t defeated Gambit. At the end of the day, their best win was against a mediocre Acend at masters 3 and since then there has been no noticeable win to support any arguments.

Since masters 3 last year- Apac, Latam. Brazil and Japan have at least reached top 4 in international events and in all of those events, DRX were one of the favorites to win the whole thing. There are people in this site still believes that DRX is the best team "strategically". At this rate, their delusion will soon challenge the tenz delusion.

Current agent meta is absolutely wonderful. It is refreshing to see so many agent variations even in the resident sleeper maps like icebox and ascent. I always wanted valorant to be like this where teams and regions have their individual identity.

Because he takes away all the attention from other great players. No matter their dedication and skills, xyz players are so under appreciated and often time ignored because of his hype. You can't even have a logical discussion with a tenz fan about other players being better than him.

Seeing all the support, hate, fanfare and community response for Sentinels.....

I am wondering, can any other team attain this amount of fan following by being good/ best at the game?
It would be very nice to see other teams having a significant increase in fan following.

You never know. Maybe results would have been as expected or, maybe some upsets.

But, why not give them the chance. So many teams- only two slots.

It is not a EU hate thread, I just want to know the reasoning for directly keeping 10 teams from Challengers 1.

Before insulting, try to present some explanation or logic.

Please explain.

The competition level should be high for EMEA if we are to believe that EMEA is the most competitive region. So, why are only two teams selected through VRL's?

I thought EMEA as a region is more competitive than other regions.

So....10 teams are keeping their spots from the 1st open qualifier/ invite and only 2 spots are filled through VRL's. Can anyone explain me the logic for such a format?

Is so free for M3C.

So many fans are turning on their idols because of excessive streaming but it was streaming that helped Sentinels to gain this number of fans in the first place. Without streaming, this amount of fanfare would have not been possible. So, Sentinels fans- stop bitching and support streaming.

Sentinels will be having the easiest bracket possible.....Riot just can't sacrifice their golden goose....sad.
