The first masters has 0 prestige its a regional event.

Acend were better than gambit on the day, they have never shown anything close to that performance after that grandfinals. But I agree, no run can be considered a fluke, if you win that day you win.

all of their players except kiles got kicked from a tier 1 rosters

Starxo, Zeek, Bonecold were all on the bottom emea rosters

Cned is the only player from Acend who has had relative success and rn he is mia

because he wasnt this good before, he has been given a chance and is now shining

mainly people complained that he was standing up too much and too toxic or whatever

nt rarga, not getting any help on these entries </3

couple questions:

how do you adjust:

Depends how big the change is, but with time you will manage, for me realising I made the right choice and focusing on the goal made the adjustment easy

do you bring your setup abroad or save up and build one there

I brought a new set up because bringing over the set up would expensive due to its weight, and I travel back to my home country anyways so it just made sense to have two for when I need to go back for holidays and such

any tips in general?

Give it time to get used to, Learn how to take care of your basic needs, get friends who can help you with your troubles

theres a ton of t3xture hate

nah ive seen plenty of people mainly prx fans hate on siufat

Swap chron with chichoo

TL getting reverse sweeped by vitality
TL almost getting a comebock vs PRX just to lose

my man knows whats up

The hunger games is a good read for beginners, if you are talking about light novels read toaru/a certain magical index, legit peak but any light novel of your favourite anime/manga is good

novels are so rewarding, like seriously, they get so addicting

The best light novel itw is the toaru series, or a certain magical index,

if you get all the way btw, you will read the greatest speach ever, if you are unbothered to read all that just search the "it bothers me" speech. legit peak fiction

Other peak ones are

Lord of the mysterys
Re Zero
Reverend Insanity
Omniscient readers view point
The beginning after the end
Shadow Slave

yeah rank reset hit hard but i will climb back up ez

also isnt it the same 20 people in oce and if someone isnt online your q time just says “when gamblenats gets on”

yes

{nah fr tho oce is only bad when it gets to high immortal}

I play on 4 alts at the same time to get a game

12 akshually

any diamond peak player would like to join my team for a tournament to play at 27 June 2025 at 17:30 and Saturday 28 June 2025 at 15:30 to Saturday 28 June 2025 at 19:15

(has to be diamond peak, this is AEDT)

Im need one really bad rn

you are putting too much importance in team performance and not individuals. look at shanghai and champs for derke, he was fucking insane, but im not here to argue about derke.

Lets just compare statwise for now, and keep in mind Zmjjkk had no good support utility because half of his players were off role (and kk had to fill kayo an agent he has played 5 times)

Zmjjkk vs T3xture Madrid:

Rating: 1.07 > 1.03
Acs: 252 > 224
K/D: 1.08 >= 1.07
Kast: 69 =< 71
ADR: 164 > 144
KPR: 0.88 >= 0.8
APR: 0.25 >= 0.16
FKPR: 0.19 >= 0.16
FDPR: 0.11 >= 0.13
C%: 14% =< 17%
Direct H2H: https://www.vlr.gg/312797/edward-gaming-vs-gen-g-champions-tour-2024-masters-madrid-swiss-stage-r2 Zmjjkk > T3xture

Reminder besides smoggy, everyone else on EDG was bottom 12

Shanghai:
ACS: 243 >= 241
K/D: 0.91 <<< 1.21
ADR: 154 > 148
KPR: 0.81 =< 0.85
APR: 0.15 >= 0.14
FKPR: 0.17 << 0.22
FDPR: 0.17 = 0.7

Reminder both of EDG intiators were bottom 6 players

Champions 2024
Rating: 1.10 < 1.14
ACS: 250 >= 242
KD: 1.20 >= 1.17
Kast: 69% = 69%
ADR: 160 >= 157
KPR: 0.88 >= 0.8
APR: 0.21 > 0.17
FKPR: 0.23 >> 0.18
FDPR: 0.19 < 0.14
C%: 17% < 19%

Lakia is bottom 3 but still has a 0.3 APR

Now maybe you are talking about peak performance?
https://www.vlr.gg/378829/edward-gaming-vs-team-heretics-valorant-champions-2024-gf

Zmjjkk has the greatest peak perfomance in all of valorant in a final, broke the bo5 without going into OT once, is +39 with a 1.4 rating.

So clearly it isnt that...

Well maybe its outside factors, like what zmjjkk and t3xture do outside the game...

This is until you realise Zmjjkk is EDG's hype man, and responsible for bringing back team morale, whereas t3xture has no notable outside benefactors, except being a superstar player which can bring morale but at no point in time where he is noticably bringing people up at all times.

Well maybe its regionals, im too lazy to write it out but you can see for yourself:
https://www.vlr.gg/event/stats/2096/champions-tour-2024-china-stage-2
https://www.vlr.gg/event/stats/2006/champions-tour-2024-china-stage-1
https://www.vlr.gg/event/stats/1926/champions-tour-2024-china-kickoff
https://www.vlr.gg/event/stats/2005/champions-tour-2024-pacific-stage-2
https://www.vlr.gg/event/stats/2002/champions-tour-2024-pacific-stage-1
https://www.vlr.gg/event/stats/1924/champions-tour-2024-pacific-kickoff

But TLDR Zmjjkk >>>>> T3xture. Regionally every single time

Maybe its agent pool, the better player that can flex around more
Zmjjkk: Raze, Jett, Kayo, Neon
T3xture: Raze, Jett

Well if T3xture has better supporting utility, while still doing statiscally worse than Zmjjkk both regionally and domestically, as well as losing h2h against Zmjjkk, as well as a worse peak performance, as well as less outside benefits towards the team, as well as a worse agent pool than Zmjjkk. What exactly makes t3xture the better player? Just because he got signed to a better team that got better performances?

Like are we serious? What else?

trying to see if I can be in them all >:)

nah but im just trying to see if its possible to join if I wanted to

oh I didnt read the second part mb

there is not many great flex players for sale, hfmi is top 5 picks for EDG

what a great moment

riot arent in charge, tencent is, and they do this because otherwise the sched interferes with the LPL league

whats the server?

nah he has been to lans and been called hmfi

yeah ur 100% right

leaving nobody out of that is crazy. Nobody has like the highest ceiling on that team lowkey

same thing with haodong and EDG, T1 with carpe (kinda)

both sides would not agree lol

nah faker was like goat status when he joined skt because of his incredible plays

acend?

not really?

Im a waiter/service table person, and I tutor people. I got job experience at a tax and accounting firm. Currently in high school grade 11 and aspire to be an actuarial scientist + teaching degree

I mean there is info, but ascension itself will 100% be on VLR

I think BLG deserve to be in the same tier as 4-9

because FPX was very good in 2022. Just because the roster died afterwards doesnt mean the team wasnt goated

sub region u mean like individual countries besides china?

if so russia

taking a rest is legit just not playing or studying up one a game.

This legit makes no sense, why would he not need to focus on the game tf.

Like im trying really hard to not be mean here, but to put simply, you should never be 100% locked in focused on the game even in your down time.

Thats how people get burnt out, and tired. This is true for studying, this is true for valorant and this is true for anything you do. if you always give 100% you will lose your motivation/energy. So him going to twitter, going out, doing literally anything else can be helpful. This is why you take breaks, breaks are important.

Posting on twitter doesnt make you more tired, posting on twitter doesnt give you burn out. Im sorry but those things dont correlate in any sense.

he is tired from the burn out by playing the game too much and needing to constantly adapt. him beefing on twitter doesnt add up on that mental fatigue. you need to explain what you dont understand

how does posting on twitter relate to you being tired. in fact its probably better as it means he doesnt need to focus on the game and keep his mind on something else

that still has nothing to do with the game
