ok, can call it poaching instead of stealing, but it still doesn't change the grand scheme of things
More like g2 stole their best players by buying them out and leaving heretics to scrape the trash
nah it was g2 pick
Is it just me or did nukkye become much better at clutching? Probably helps that G2 is not playing against t1 EU teams just yet
Yeah you're right, I fell for known name bias. The players on excel were usually the ones that would get kicked and after the kicks those respective teams all of a sudden would become much better.
On paper excel have better individuals(or at least more known) than ucam, therefore that should have been enough for excel to stroll through. However, it seems that ucam managed to beat excel through better team cohesion to an extent where superiority of excel individuals was not that much of a factor anymore
It's not even EXCEL vs G2, it's UCAM vs G2 OMEGALUL
nani ?
Massive roster shuffle that made heretics significantly weaker, that's what's up
For me it was easy, where nukkye goes I follow, because I'm one of delusional_nukkye_fans. I disliked G2 quite heavily due to their attitude before the roster shuffle, now I can even tolerate their cringe social media posts(which one has to admit bring a lot of engagement that help them secure sponsorship deals)
Oh, if that's indeed the case then it's understandable, but lack of practice is definitely showing on this team
As I've said in the other thread these particular individuals in Heretics looking as if they got demotivated super hard after this roster shuffle. Looking at their comp alone, these are definitely comfort picks for these individuals, which suggests that they are not practising as much as they should. Unlucky really
Expected, he has been playing a variety of agents on stream. Heck, he even started playing Sage.
G2 looking to truly adopt agent specific comps for particular maps with keloqz being the exception as a one trick jett so it seems
Nobody is stopping OG from fucking over the newly signed players )) just have to do the same thing as they had done to shed and fizzy
They did a bad PR move by fucking over Foxie and shed. Like for an entire month OG had a verbal agreement with the aforementioned players that they are a part of the new roster and that contracts are en route. But then, a team called HONK disbanded and instead OG officially signed 2 players from HONK within 2 days after the disbandment, thus leaving Foxie and shed hanging without a team that they pracced with for an entire month without any compensation as far official sources go. Just bad optics from OG overall
I am only certain about Fnatic qualifying, the rest of EMEA region is too much of a toss up. There are too many teams in the region that can suddenly show up at key stages of qualifying tournaments. Only Fnatic have so far managed to maintain their consistent S tier performances within EMEA region since Riot's first strike tournament series, as they are the ones that have shown to successfully adapt to multiple iterarions of meta or make roster changes that give fruit within the first week of the specific iterarion of a roster playing together. Boaster knows his shit, basically. Regardless, I'm rooting for G2 as I'm one of the delusional_nukkye_fans.
yeah, tbf we finally are getting what EMEA community asked for - streams in the open qualifiers and actually almost perfect(if not perfect) tournament format. I have no more complaints as a spectator anymore :D
I'm pretty sure teams are aware of that, but it is also true that online vandal > online phantom due to peeker's advantage. Hopefully EU teams bootcamping for Berlin LAN will adjust to playing with phantom instead or at least figure out how to play around phantom smoke spams that V1 were so good with.
Teams right now should be more concerned with actually qualifying for the EMEA tournament through these open qualifiers.
This guy is probably responsible for 80% of G2's entry kills
damn, liking the keloqz + nukkye combo. Always thought that nukkye was a pretty weak entry duelist, but pretty nutty mid-game. keloqz seems to fix nukkye's flaws by being the nutty entry jett, while nukkye is able to do his things mid-round.
Valorant is just as toxic as cs:go(at least on EU servers) as I don't think that Riot is looking over the reports, more like a certain threshold of reports has to be reached before some sort of restriction is applied. It's true though that there are way less cheaters in Valorant than in CS:GO and Vanguard actually does a pretty good job.
yeah it would be a spit on other team's faces if G2 were invited. To this day G2 haven't done shit and it's up to them to prove that they should be invited to future closed qualifiers
Free pass to closed qualifiers, don't have to play through open qualifiers in RO512, RO256 etc.
Kind of a fair list to be honest, definitely based on performance during previous qualifiers.
Not even EU teams want this guy, why would NA teams want him omegalul
Guild only seem to be getting better with every tournament they play tbh without doing anything to the roster. Can see them being the best in Europe eventually
ctrl + f "mixwell" = 0 search results in season 9
neither kolda, nor mixwell have played VPD recently
So who is G2 trialing in pyth's place then? 👀
I'm gonna place the same bet
Yeah I get that. I'm just saying that today they are not there yet in terms of the level they are expected to meet, but there is still a whole month left for them to iron out any remaining issues.
EZ FOR NUKKYE
aite
Sure, they did play Yoru on the 1st map, but the 2nd map was close-ish too and there was no Yoru involved. At one point Finest were leading 4-6 on Ascent.
Personally, I don't think they are a super team based on individuals alone either, just the kind of team that is supposed to excel on fundamentals and teamwork. Issue being that currently their teamwork and fundamentals are not up to expectations either, judging by the fact that the game against Finest is this close.
Don't get me wrong, I do think that Finest are tier2+/tier1-, but G2 is being hailed as the team that is supposed to qualify for Berlin being placed in tier1++
This game is way too close for the supposed new EU super team
the truth is somewhere in the middle
Apparently, OG fucked Fizzy and shed over when HONK disbanded due to Heroic deal falling through last minute. OG are gonna sign Destrian and trexx from HONK, at expense of Fizzy and shed.
nah, I'm just a DELUSIONAL_NUKKYE_FAN. Was a G2 hater before, now G2 is my friend
My bad, you're right, I needlessly over-exaggerated. I was trying to make a point that it's so easy to get Aderall in the US, it might as well be OTC. I'm well aware that doctors there do tend to over-prescribe potentially addicting medication, therefore not only fuelling the stimulant addiction but also opioid crisis.
Well Riot had to come out with some PR move and this was it imo. Pretty sure this "investigation"(if it can even be called as such lol) is just for image and nothing more. You know, same sort of shit when Bethesda puts pride colors on all of its twitter accounts and avatars, except for Saudi Arabian, Russian and Turkish accounts
krea6on and hype at some point were together in alliance. However, krea6on for some reason got kicked from Alliance, even though he was one of the carries for the team. It does appear that krea6on has a "difficult" character, i.e. tends to tilt easily etc. and this could have been the major reason he was kicked(at this point I am speculating tho). Moreover, hype is a bit of an "outsider" in Lithuanian community, a lot of these Lithuanians started off on teams like nolpenki and other Lithuanian mixes, whereas hype went pro through UK valorant mixes and teams. I think there is a possibility of bad blood between hype and some of these other players and quite frankly hype is more on the outskirts of Lithuanian community, therefore tribalism to a certain extent is quite prevalent.
Pretty much, it's only calories that matter in terms of gaining/losing weight. You can eat "healthy" food regularly, but still be obese without any muscle mass if you simply eat too much and therefore exceed weekly calorie limit.
I grew up as an obese kid and my parents would regularly serve me chicken/turkey breasts, a lot of greens, tomatoes, cucumbers and stuff like that, but my portion control was whack. When I started going to uni, I discovered what calories are and basically went from obese to normal weight in a matter of 6 months. Calorie counting simply helped me limit my portions, whilst ironically I was out drinking alcohol and eating a couple slices of pizza and a small bag of crisps for a few months straight.
I think I meant this one, my fish memory was confused between league of legends and csgo, but I'm pretty sure I meant this exact event
Pretty sure that it's just USA being USA where it's in the small minority of countries where people are allowed to buy Aderall like candy over the counter. In the UK and the rest of Europe, Aderall is definitely difficult to come by.
