the effect I would agree
but the taste, not quite. I don't think many ppl would drink beer, or any alcoholic drink for that matter if it hadn't alcohol in it

idk man, mrgoudas viper is pretty good

it all depends of what you consider carrying, the numbers that these guys are pulling and compared to their peers, for me is so far apart, that can be called a carry, even if you don't call carry, its undeniable that aspas doest have nowhere near the same impact for loud as this guys have for their teams

i think loud will win, but i dont think aspas will carry loud like derke do with fnatic or yay used to do with optic

How is she gonna help you get that first kill? her eye is hella weak compared to normal flashes, she doesn't have Nade, smokes(wall like neon or phoenix), or molly and if things go wrong, she can't get away with a dash. Her power comes after you get the first kill(healing back up, or repositioning), not before. Teams may prefer avoiding the risk and uselessness of Reyna for more utility like neon or raze, or just opt for jett that can go aggressive and get away if she doesn't hit the shot. There is also ults, in pro play, is very difficult to multi-frag, Neon and Jett ult can help you on ecos, and raze's ult can almost guarantee you a kill.
But to me the main thing is movement abilities, those can help the team so much in entering the site and also bring verticality and explosiveness to the game in both attack or defense.

White oni and default prime are the most beautiful, but I'm biased cause I like skins that are black or white w gold like sovereign, prime, Sol, chronovoid, and even origin.

forgor bout babyjay

Imo for phoenix voice lines are by far the best. But when I started playing I remember being hella annoyed by raze and kj voice lines, now I don't really mind

I meant that for a pro, at a high level, he was decent at best(now he is prob worse than just decent cause he hasn't been a pro in a minute).
Imo he definitely would not be getting more impact than wippie, bdog or skuba. And I genuinely think that If u get a good pro that plays a role other than controller, and make them practice smokes only, for 2 months in a team, they would be better than zombs, controller mechanics isn't hard, besides I've never seen cool tech from zombs at the time he was playing, he clearly don't hit customs alone to test set ups often, like boaster do, boaster may not have insane aim like marved or mako to get multi frags, but he's nerdy for sure, zombs isn't nerdy. For me he is mid-bottom B tier NA. Also game sense of what, if he really had good game sense he would lurk or push on defense or do more shit alone, but he didn't. Besides good fundamentals, he was a good clutcher, but that's it, all other aspects he is below average, for a high-level player.

Dont agree with zombs on A tier, hes decent at best. unless we talking about comms, which I cant rlly know his impact on that category, but from what we know, all he did was follow shaz orders(he said that himself). I dont think just placing smokes and using sucks and paranoias on ur teammates' calls is impressive at all.
So other than using his kit(bare minimum), how was he good? cause he didn't lurk, didn't take space on defense, wasn't getting a lot of impact by fragging, how is he A tier?

The only constant in all of your games is you, if you think that trolls or noobs are only on your team ur being very foolish.
If you see that ur teammates are playing dumb, odds are that you're enemies are playing just as dumb, and if you can't punish them by getting a lot of impact, it likely means that ur dumb as well. Remember that impact isn't just kills, is also comms and playstyle.
Now, if ur actually winning 80% of your games, u just need to play more, until u get to a rank that challenges you.

Tbm acho que nao

alpha bracket was like that tho, but we still don't know how the brackets will match up against each other

maioria da galera nessa thread precisando ver um psiquiatra

Actually tho, since vct 2021, boaster teams has always had, cool tech, good planned exects/strats. Every single piece of util has a purpose.

Look at him pre aiming head level 3 seconds later on the same spot, aiming for cypher ballsack there. I don't think he's cheating, its likely that he aimed at a quite random spot and misclicked he's knife

yeah i looked at the vod, still the timing isn't really making sense

thats not true, door closed a little earlier, no reason at all for fns to walk in the middle of the open(knowing there's two on A main) and not be looking there.

Ah nao sabia dessa, mas nao acho que eles importam muito com o gaules expecificamente bater recorde, pra eles é muito mais importante ter o numero de "peak viewership", na verdade eu acho que eles importam mais com o numero de viewers na stream oficial do que na stream do gau.

Vai demorar ter outro eu acho, muita critica de quanto a arena tava vazia(major do rio). Eles podem ate postar os highlights da torcida, porem de forma geral, o major foi visto bem negativamente por causa de muitas partidas vazias, talvez a riot e a valve nao liguem muito pra isso, porem os fãs ficam bem incomodados de assitir uma final com estadio vazio, aí eles enchem o reclamam na internet.
Mas eu concordo, fazer esses eventos aqui é estrategico, temos uma população grande, atrai muita atençao. Mas ao mesmo tempo é meio vergonhoso o fato de não temos fans interessados em todas as partidas, é feio ter uma final de major com estadio vazio, o mesmo pro valorant, torcer pra termos um br na final deste lock in

Man, o motivo de estar vazio é facil de entender, eu sou brasileiro. Não precisa explicar isso

voce acha que a receita gerada por venda de ingresso é relevante pra riot? pra eles é muito mais importando a imagem e publicidade. É provavel que a venda de ingresso não paga nem a estrutura que eles tiveram que contratar e construir. Qualquer cidade grande que eles fizerem evento, os ingressos vão esgotar

se nao for pra ta cheia a plateia, não faça o evento no local. Eu realmente não estou entendendo seu argumento aqui, o que tu ta defendendo?

confronto regional? todas a regioes nao tiveram publico, a não ser que tivesse algum brasileiro jogando. Além do fato que sair da stream é uma coisa. agora pagar um ingresso e vazar na metade do evento, é outra bem diferente. E é justamente o que eu to falando, o brasileiro é desinteressado no jogo, não tem porque fazer um evento desse tipo aqui.

se for pra fazer um evento que a maioria dos jogos nao vai ter publico, é melhor nem fazer, escolhe outro lugar onde os fãs estarão animados e vão pra apoiar o todas as partidas.

they prob don't even know the name of the players, a lot of Brazilians nowadays are struggling to keep track of the national Brazilian football team, I don't doubt that great portion of that crowd didn't know who was playing

agree, Brazilians don't really care, shows how brazil is, hopefully riot will think twice before making another event here.

nah, today the crowd has been the best vct has ever seen, they were even clapping for nrg at the end

I like him a lot, but imo as a controller main he's not good rlly good for ranked, he needs another controller by his side and a somewhat coordinated team. for pearl Astra is still better for solo controller and icebox I like Viper cause of lurks and orb mid + stall plant

trust me, u cant, spectating make it look easier, these pros have insane reaction time. Its hard to explain, but its something u can know only by playing against a pro or good radiant. Besides he's playing on pressure and coordinating a team, in front of thousands, getting broadcasted to millions, with thousand dollars on the line.

they need prod

mine came with origin vandal with 38% and oni phantom with 40%, I'm def getting the phantom, oni has been my dream since forever, 1k for it is a nice deal

yeah, is phantom making a comeback? i still think vandal usage rates is higher, but at the end of the tourney I wanna see the stats of usage, kill, dmg p round, etc... Cause 2022 really wasn't a good year for the phantom in competitive

That's true, the only constant in all of your games is yourself. Ppl only notice a smurf and complain about it when it is on the other team.

the whole mibr roster except heat

Kinda agree, but is hard to argue on that subject bc its really pointless try to argue with somebody that thinks that aspas was the best in LOUD's roster in 2022, not to mention ppl that think hes the best in the world.

I'm not expecting good sportsmanship from the average Brazilian, IQ too low or has education failed us? It might be a cultural thing

ethan is so underrated imo

where did u hear the person c9 or yay saying "he is the most mechanically gifted player they have ever seen", the video that u linked said that they complimented him, that's all

im not expecting a full crowd even in the playoffs, unless a Brazilian is playing.

the csgo major was empty, im not expecting much tbh

same, only difference is that idk yet for lotus and split for me Astra is better

nos challegers de 2020 e 2021 a transmissão brasileira, mesmo quando a gamelanders, furia, loud ou vivo keyd jogava, nunca passava de 10k viewers na trasmissão oficial, talvez na final do mata-mata passava disso(mas só em eventos muiito especiais), na fase de grupos era a mesma coisa nunca deu muita gente, capaz que era menos de 5k quando nao tinha nenhum time grande jogando. Vale tambem lembrar que tem muito canal fazendo watchparty.

I don't get the reasoning for hating breeze, I get hating icebox, fracture, bind, split, or even haven; those are all different maps that can feel overwhelming on ranked sometimes, cause ppl don't really know how to play them(split not really different it is just unbalanced). But imo breeze is a simple map that rewards smart players and aimers too. But I guess not everyone has aim or brain

riot gotta make that ticket almost free or something, cs is way bigger in Brazil than valo, if the crowd is absent in the first cs major on south america it will be nonexistent for masters

u talking about mj or sinatraa?

from what I know about it(pretty much a video of a guy named detective tech, he seemed pretty unbiased), its very unlucky what happened to him. But I hope he returns in his best form cause he's obviously very skillful, it would be a shame to waste such talent, even if hes guilty. I mean MJ proly licked kids, but his music still fire, u gotta separate the person from the professional.

thats actually genius

yeah, its the history being made, in a few year we will have a bunch of theescore esports videos from valorant historic moments

damn val pro play is bigger than I thought, viewership wise, at least when comparing to the last major. Its really promising what franchising could achieve for valorant
