Finest played really, really well. The fundamentals were point on. They just entered the Tier 1 scene, slowly, but they made it.
Everybody kept talking about potter, but now I see how good was Branted on the third map. 2 - 17, LOL.
The entire team needs a whole new line-up to even stand a chance in VCT Masters. I am well aware of the fact that a single or a few matches aren't enough to measure a teams potential, but as it looks right now, it is just the start of their downfall :).
What he's talking about really happened, but why the game crashed now was due to different reason.
Here's your proof on what he was about: https://twitter.com/Slasher/status/1358911085378740226?s=1
WTF, 50 - 19.
Just don't tell me that OG will become trexx and friends, and if he keeps it up... then his place isn't here, at OG.
Some of his past tweets about Valorant were pure meme, but on this one he's right.
I was saying this since the game came out that the spray; spray transfer are really, really bad. It's not that people are wanting the game to be like CSGO, but some aspects of it needs to be changed/ improved.
You can go and play CS 1.6 (still available on steam) or CSGO on a respawn server, after that try playing some Deathmatch in Valorant, and you will see what he's talking about.
And yes, the game is barely 1 year old, so we cannot expect that much, when CS had 2 decades to develop to the current stage. (CS 1 2000 - 1.5 2002; and so on)
Those were the easiest kills of her life. I saw the 2nd match, she barely won any duels (1v1's).
What are you talking about? Potter is the best, maybe not the best of the best, but second to the world greatest Valorant player, gtn (poor guy, he became a meme).
If they want to get better and better, being able to compete at a higher level... potter needs to go (1 example: https://www.vlr.gg/15583/time-in-vs-evil-geniuses-nerd-street-gamers-summer-championship-open-1-winners-f). This may sound rude, but she should stick to what she's best at, casting.
I still remember that EG was one of the best organisations when I used to play CS 1.6 professionally (with shaGuar, tr1p; fRoD, n0thing, lurppis). When I heard that they're entering into the Valorant scene, my expectations were quite high, thinking that they will be as glorious as in the good old days, but the results were kinda disappointing.
As they're looking now, there is almost no difference between them and a small org.
Nice article, but where do you leave vanity?
For the following Challengers, Version1 will field:
Jordan "Zellsis" Montemurro
Erik "penny" Penny
Loic "effys" Sauvageau
Maxim "wippie" Shepelev
Brady "thief" Dever
Ian "Immi" Harding (Coach)
Scottyboi30, has anybody ever told you how smart you are?
Sometimes, it's not about the comps, but about the players skill and playstyle. What are you saying there is contradictory: "stick to what has been working... and adapt to the meta..." . First of all, if someone is sticking to what he used to do, it means that he's repeating the same process as in the past that led him to success. While adapting to the meta equals trying out new stuff, new comps which means that the level of uncertainty will only increase... until proven successful.
For your understanding, you cannot put 2 players to play a game and expect the same results. That also applies to teams using the same comps (which are Tier 1; 2). If other Tier 1 teams from NA would have used the same comps as Soniqs, they would have won flawlessly. But here you have to admit the fact that the opposite team is way better.
In conclusion, they lost because game sense and heavy fundamentals difference.
My man, your dearest Valorant team Soniqs aren't hated by anyone, they're just kinda ignored or forgotten. They came high and mighty from Australia, saying that their pure and raw aim are better than the rest of NA teams and when the tournaments start... Well, they cannot get past Tier 2 tournaments.
So, in reality, you cannot hate a team, which you couldn't care less about.
In conclusion, people couldn't care less about them. Why? Because their matches do not bring you that excitement... and so on.
SEN is already qualified for the Champions, at the end of the year, in December; but not for Berlin. (Every team who will attend Berlin will try to earn a spot for Champions, which will take place at the end of the year)
So, my question is, how's your life looking under a rock?
Like Asuna from 100T. Nothing new.
The name Asuna is primarily a female name of Japanese origin that means Tomorrow/Apple Tree
What I was saying is still valid. Gambit lost to a team, so they were knocked down to the lower bracket. In the meanwhile, One Breath Gaming also lost to a no name team; and the 2 of them met in the lower bracket later on.
So, what I was saying, Gambit lost twice. Go and google the real brackets, because on vlr you can see them only from round 32 onwards.
From that game, you can only see that OBG dominated Gambit. The scores weren't even close.
Gambit was literally knocked down to lower bracket by a no name team, and people were talking like: "I wouldn't be surprised if Gambit wins the next Masters". At this rate, they cannot do nothing.
The NA team, Sentinels, won the entire Masters 2 tournament, because they were competing at a higher level way before Valorant appeared. So, better understanding and fundamentals won the game. While in Europe, the Valorant scene is made up by Tier 2/ Tier 3 players.
But things are starting to change and organisations to invest more money in the scene. So we shall see about this during Masters 3, in Berlin.
Everybody said and says the same thing, even dev1ce once was asked if he would change games and go pro in Valorant. To which he responded, "if I get really bad at CSGO, maybe."
And for your information, none of the actual professional players would be playing Valorant now, if they had the same succes in CSGO as in this game.
That's why the NA team, Sentinels, won the entire Masters 2 tournament, because they were competing at a higher level way before Valorant appeared. So, better understanding and fundamentals won the game. While in Europe, the Valorant scene is made up by Tier 2/ Tier 3 players.
Why would a sane person waste his precious time, coming up with arguments against someone who will never understand it, even if it would be said as politely as it can be? That's when you downvote a baseless and useless argument.
You have too much times on your hands, apparently. And why do you care? Live your life and let others live theirs, because it's way too short to spend any hour, minute or second on useless things, especially on things when nothing was proven.
If someone is accusing you of something that you know you didn't commit, how would you feel? That's the real question here. For the record, niesoW doesn't need to prove you shit and you don't have to right to ask, when he was already proven innocent.
ACEND is unbeaten in scrims, because they have zeek, some sources say.
His team hasn't played all the good ones from EU. Only a few, and of course the stronger team from that few is the best in his opinion.
You cannot take these things seriously. Wait for Berlin and you will see different results.
Literally not a good idea. Why? Because he would steal the spotlight from everyone on the team...
@Marble - If you're using that flawed logic of yours here, then neither Sentinels are the best team in the world, that's what you're saying, right? Well, somewhat true, they have to constantly prove it, paving the way to World's in December.
Give the respect that fnatic deserves and go back to your hole, releasing the 2 decades pent-up frustration.
What's with that logic? That's some really bad excuses, ngl. If tier 2 players can do it, why tier 1 players cannot? OMG, you literally cannot comprehend how the game and the system works. If you start mentioning mixwell or ScreaM, well, to perform at the highest level, they need 4 more players at the same level at they're at.
Also, when s1mple started streaming and playing Valorant on his channel, he literally said that if he were in Astralis's stead, he would switch instantly to Valorant because it's more fun. But he doesn't want to because he didn't won any majors yet.
I have nothing against Sentinels, gg's to them. But zombie boy needs to stand down a little. He's literally saying that fnatic is really sloppy, when he's in fact 90% of the time being carried. And if you asnwer my comment, do not give me the crap that he's playing support agent or different role... You can be up on the scoreboard regardless of your role, if you're good.
I really wanna see if Sentinels can keep up their momentum in December Champions.
fnatic could have easily closed out Bind, but too many aggressive pushes and wide peeks + checking corners, but that's how usually a team wins, fewer mistakes made.
Too many mistakes on fnatic part on Bind, especially on defense...
solo's tweet: I tried my best and as a team, we had a great experience to play in Masters. I never forget this experience. And i didn’t decide retirement yet. But the one thing i can sure, I prepare for next step to develop myself, and my retirement issues will be decide within June.
The retirement isn't decided yet.
You're literally wasting your time preaching to him, because he cannot take out his head from his ***.
Sean Gares, @sgares, literally said the same thing. Region-wise he thinks that EU is better than NA, because EU has like 10 top teams and NA has like 5 ok teams. If you do not believe it, feel free to visit his twitch channel or twitter and watch his stream from yesterday. He was exactly talking about this.
To summarize it, in what he believes, especially for now: SEN > EU (as region) > NA (rest of it)
You have a really good point there about confidence. Usually weaker teams, when they go up against better ones, they will always have that mental issue holding them back, which may improve a little their performance.
About TL, the main problem there is that they do not have a stable in-game leader. That's why when they morale is down really bad, they do not know how to reset. And if you ask me, an IGL is way more important in VALORANT than in CS, right now. Why? Because in CS everyone have the same utilities and everyone knows how to execute a site or use a smoke/fb. While Valorant is a little more complex, utility-wise.
You're pointing and laughing at each other about regions, while looking down on others, but can't you see farther than your noses?
The main problem here is that you don't or cannot comprehend why some regions are better than others. The main issue is how the eSports scene is perceived, like there is a country in Europe where eSports as a whole isn't regulated by law (seen as gambling); where players struggles to practice with their CSGO teams, because they need to have a job besides to afford a living? Simply put, a player and a team cannot improve in a small region/ country with a few OK teams, like SEA or with an organisation with fewer resources. As an example, if you put the Brazilians to play in NA/EU for like 1 year, they would need to adapt to the meta faster because the teams they're playing against would destroy them... So, they need to change to improve... and here comes the fierce competition, which always helps you to improve. They ran the same comps until now because it always worked in BR, and they thought that it will be the same at Masters 2, until they hit the wall.
Same thing happened with Soniqs, when they moved to NA from SEA. One player from their team, pl1xx, literally said on his stream when they were about to face Sentinels in VCT that they will win, only because their raw aim is better... That was not the case, but little by little, they're improving, even if they're a T2 team right now.
I literally want to see a FNC - SEN rematch. Let the best team win.
You're right about one thing, it's still too early to tell who's the best of the best. But, apparrently, you're the one mentioning people talking about education, while you're bad at one game called life, huh?
If Account123 is being honest, his country flag is Philippines.
So, from your logic, since when Philippines is part of Europe?
Man, if they win, they're boasting about it, like they won with their stand in. And when they lose, they're using jammyz as their scapegoat.
First of all, nobody forced them to come to a tournament, especially with a substitute. It was their choice. Even their coach said on his twitter that he brought a tier 3 player to stand in for tier 1 events. Like WTF?
Accept the L and move on.
If you're mentioning shroud here, even he and Hiko said that the skill ceiling is lower in valorant than cs (watch the video). So, what are you saying?
Well, even if all or some of you will get offended, he's right about one thing. Valorant is way easier than CSGO.
I really wanted to see how ACEND will perform in Iceland. Fxck EU format without lower bracket.
But the sad truth is that on the last map, Liquid had 40% packet loss. Rematch incoming.
Of course it was disappointing to see a one sided game like TL vs V1, but if this goes on, TL will make some changes, you will see.
The issue is the fact that if a team has a really, really good player like ScreaM, the team must be on the same level as him. But he cannot play freely, because the team cannot bringing out his full potential, his teammates are holding him back in most cases. Yes, their aim were on point in a few rounds, but that's it... Jamppi is too inconsistent.
But you know what's sadder than that? All the NA/EU fanboys who belittle others hardwork, when they're some keyboard warriors from their mother's basement without real achievement in the real life or stood on a stage, playing a major finale. Anyone can point fingers from the sidelines.
I literally thought that NAfanboys/girls were a little bit smarter. Most of you are taking some of the comments to heart and start attacking others, but for what? Anyone can take a little bit of a beef, but when something gets past a limit, well... What can people take from that? Is that your pent-up frustration over the last decades because you couldn't bring any big results to any of the big games out there but R6?
I am no ones fan. I appreciate all the teams and the hard work that they are putting into it... but is it really that hard to just watch a good game and enjoy it?
As I said before the matches between Liquid and V1, respectively FNC vs SEN start, to let the best teams to win.
As far as the V1 - Liquid game went, V1 was superior in any aspect. Literally, ScreaM had a little bit of help here and there, but that team cannot bring out his full potential. And yes, the match between FNC and SEN could have gone either way. In those close matches, you know what brings you the win most of the time? The reads of your opponent and the silly mistakes.
As for which is the best region, yes, NA until now looks really clean. Even if SEN will win the Masters 2, it'll be early to tell which region is overall better... The scene is barely in the early stages. I am not biased here nor finding excuses. But even NA fanboys when Tenz was whiffing, they literally were trash talking him, but when he popped off, "wow, he's a god". That's not how you show respect to any team or player.
Why it's really early to tell which region will be the best in the long-term? Yes, in the short-term anyone can easily tell that is NA. But what I am talking here is that most of the really big ORGS wouldn't wanted to invest in VALORANT if they cannot prove that it'll be sustainable (at least in EU). But when the transition will happen, you will see some really big names to appear on the VALORANT scene.
So, in the end, support your team and some beef is good, but do not forget to respect each other.
Ps.: This comes from an ex CS 1.6 pro player.
https://postimg.cc/p9VZgP24 - funny, ngl.
You clearly do not understand English. I didn't said anywhere that he asked for the removal. It was just another example...
If the post author(s), in general, would be a god using that respective agent that he's asking to be nerfed, then he wouldn't even dream about such questions.
Sova doesn't need a nerf nor a buff. He's perfect as he is (btw, you can destroy instantly the reckon bolt - but again, skill diff :( ). But if he would be nerfed, as you're here asking for it. Then, it would be completely useless and never used again.
Someone here said that there's 15 agents in the game and Sova's picked almost on any map but Split. Let's be honest here, he's picked because of usefulness, not because he is the best agent. And even if Sova would be completely erased from the game, you would complain about the next/ previous agent.
Yes, some minor/ major changes can make the game and agents to look more okayish... but even if RIOT tends/ try to make the agents to be equal... the sad truth is that they never will be on the same standing.
You can take poker card game as an example... if each and every card would bring/ add the same value and outcome of a game; then would it be fun or people would be still playing it?
Again 1head takes over and over again.
Instead of going to see what says the root of the problem, you start with your conspiracy theories.
Just read Spyder's TwitLonger message and have a nice day.

To be a professional FPS player in 2k21 you need basically 2 things:
Pros with good manners/ attitude are rare.
Apparently, you want everything handed on a silver plater; but if you have a little bit of brain and if you know how mathematics works, you can find out. But the list will still be the same. (Ranking wise)
Is it really that hard to use google's search feature in 2k21?
