shocking turn of events: failed state flags think being hateful should be normalized, also don't have functional government. I'm sure that's a coincidence.

was at 0 until America's timezone; no shocks NA is glazing Zekken

also all the hate appeared on middle east timezone. funny coincidence I'm sure

bait if the other thread is anything to go by

You're right make a G tier and move them down to that

?????????? LMAO

aw shit you're right i fell for it again

2g isn't franchised...

w post holy

I mean what

uhh, allat

just wait until you find out about Australia's DST and 30 offset timezone 💀

American DST is about half a month earlier than most of Europe iirc. Probably that.

for example, see #4 self-reporting 💀

I'm not defending him LMAO

I'm more confused why nobody's on initiator frankly. I get Demon1 is prac-ing his smokes but wtf Jawg and the furry doin 💀

Alright I've spent all day glazing her over Zekken in another thread but let's not get TOO hasty...

Bro they got 13-1'd on Bind 90% because they were completely out of sync on their timings are you dense

You can just admit you have a different direction for the game in mind. If you want Val to be CS 2... well just go watch CS2, it exists now.

There's nothing wrong with a meta leaning a bit more into the util half of the game, especially when we now have so many viable agents and comp choices.

They lost not being able to adapt vs NOT the meta. T1 wasn't playing what was considered "the meta". I wasn't claiming they complained cuz they got owned by it, but rather they're unable to keep up in general and think if the game was more aim they'd win. They're also wrong about that, of course, because then EDG would be rolling them even harder.

He doesn't like Val and never has done. You haven't refuted that. Instead you just resort to accusing me of "just not wanting to like him" as if thinking his takes are shit is complete heresy. He's as fallable as any other human being, lol.

Yes he's played the game at a much higher level than us. No, I don't believe that means he understands the reasons behind game design decisions. He knows how to use the game's tools to succeed at playing it. You don't need to understand the why's to do that, and he clearly doesn't, whether because of willful ignorance or not.

add the G tier just for him

you can say the same of KC who actually nearly beat VIT. Could've been a very different outcome of Kickoff if Avez could clutch to save his life.

I also don't think "they lost to GX afterwards" is a great argument, because VIT and EDG also crashed and burned into awful valorant after a single loss.

real

although don't do that there's already too many ignorant adults it's not actually very fun

0/8 so many so obviously out of place picks it has to be deliberate bait

Never let bro cook again 💀

There's a significant difference between "the majority agree" and "the loudest part of the community get their takes directly from his feces".

Last year it wasn't a problem and the "bunch of others" weren't complaining. Even this year, Two EMEA players who lost to not being able to adapt + NA known for whiners being unable to reflect on obvious internal team issues and blaming other shite instead. Don't see APAC whinging.

Tenz has been complaining about util since launch, he's never liked Val, always preferred CS; but he took the opportunity to become the face of Val anyway and now can't go back because his Val viewerbase won't follow him and CS' base thinks he's a sellout (because he is tbf)

Two people who got dogwalked in Bangkok for not keeping up with the meta are blaming the meta being unfair for their loss? Wow.

Anyway they nearly lost to KC in kickoff. So either they're dog and making excuses or you think KC is good. Either way I win.

Tenz doesn't play professionally anymore and "the majority of pros agree" isn't even true. The loudest pros in NA agree. Not all.

I mean, you can argue whatever, but I'd say it's more balanced than when we had more run and gun, Chamber Viper Omen picked nearly all the time everywhere.

I'm sure Zellsis agrees

With that format and production? Yeah

after the last thread I don't think you're qualified to make that call

by sheer number, AG, by quality, Zeta.

Mid is still an upgrade to bad

he complains because he'd rather play CS but he was too shit for it back in the day and now is stuck with a fanbase of valorant players that won't follow him if he leaves. He's never actually liked Val.

GC players aren't classed as imports.

I mean, the glaze aside... yeah? Duh? She's pretty clearly the best player on the team. Low bar, but still fair to say being held back.

I've been siphoning them because it's my best map please understand.

off topic surely

yes, no? and what???

Not know what? He needed a different banner to ward off dodgers. Have you a problem with his choice?

Yeah but elite has a team. You're completely ignoring that Flor performed despite a dogshit team. Unlike Zekken who can't win without having Tenz right behind him to carry.

who?

but like unironically, who that

but do you support women's wrongs? 🤔

the problem is rich blokes like it usually is there you go I unpolarised it for you

oh that's what happened

kinda funny actually

90% of this isn't because "society" its just cuz too many men don't bloody talk to each other or build proper support networks.

well consider your day immeasurably ruined then, sorry mate

I mean definitionally it is but it's also nigh objectively correct so

I mean, I would say yes teams wise but I have high hopes for KC this year. They very nearly DID beat VIT. One less clutch outright thrown by Avez and they'd've won.

askers?

Icebox will be excellent after Harbor rework trust.

Ascent is already better thanks to the new agents being good on it.

Enjoy the shite production, you'll turn it off after seeing it 100%
