panda is the performance coach tho? so they're 2
pls read that i named two coaches

nt bro. something is the mvp of stage 2 confirmed. trust me when i say rrq lose right here on haven

Alecks and Panda with mindfreak subbing in sometimes

something and davai are the best awpers on the server though?

achillios is not biased

it's actually crazy ngl... every single time he says jingg will use showstopper, he doesn't and misses it

trust me it won't happen. next 2 maps are prx's flawless maps (except that one zeta game).
prx didn't lose haven or sunset a single time in stage 2.

Prime zeta doesn't exist. miracle match against prx? more like prx sleeping

yeah lol, tho i'd want him to learn neon now. forsaken should step down from playing duelists as something and jingg bring up more agents to learn

Something is the best Yoru player in the world and not even kaajak or jemkin are close to his ability to support the team with flashes and frag out.

yeah... that sucked but atleast the crowd was cheering from both sides yk. imagine the fact that the sport is so huge that thousands came to watch it from the other side of the world. that's true audience. even during the previous world cups early 2000s when australia and india were winning every single title it never actually got boring and well the spectators made for a better vibe

only for those cheering for loud. there were very "loud" boos when fnc won the first 2 maps.

shanghai is a difficult region. cs/apex/dota/tekken players love the place as everyone gets cheered for. donk winning major was cheered on even tho spirit is russian and chinese perception blah blah blah

valorant is kinda different because korean teams and japanese teams are hated there

no that's only if they win the eco and then lose. if they lose the stinger buy this happens
3.3k + 200 for every player in attack
stinger buy= 400 util + 1100 + regen 650 = 3150.
so they can save a maximum of 600 if a person gets 3 kills or goes half shields

if they lose the stinger buy they'll have 600 max + 1900 loss bonus = 2500 where they have a choice to buy stingers or eco. but since u just lost the potential is that loss of confidence will lead to u ecoing and giving away two rounds for free.
they just can't get a full buy even if they had 1500 since there is no loss bonus behind their back

#isaythetruth
couldn't care more because sylvan doesn't wanna play with him, but u have to respect both player's standpoints. tense game led to situations and buzz prolly overheated. not saying he was right, just saying maybe we were aready looking at players losing confidence in each other.

gx slapped fnatic around because they got slapped by everyone in the play-offs. fnatic was in bad shape as they always are during champs. if liquid can beat fnc 13-1 on ascent then that means fnc either sent bots to play or thought they should save strats

that new guy was supposedly their best player in stage 2. as bad as t1's rep is they still have world class players in buzz and meteor. they're not the underdogs.
someone like rrq, xlg, drg, nrg, drx who just can't make international appearances a lot/ make apperances but never make top 4 are the real underdogs here.

shaking my head my head?

i'm talking about when the other team also has stingers. an anti-force situation. they'll have 50% chance of winning the second round conversion at that time instead of utilising their full money to gain a proper advantage over pistols/force-buys

it's the best in the world ngl. guaranteed victory against eco rounds, while every person has smg + full util so they can't get overwhelmed by pistols.

However if the other team forces, they're done for. if g2 force bought their own stinger buy that they do on bind first half, sen would lose that very quickly.
i'd say we can see some examples of it during champs where sen does this stinger buy and loses to another team like prx, liquid or g2 who like to force buy sometimes

awww get in champs first bitch

he knows the teams here don't matter. prx will win matter who they face. so he didn't want to give hope to these teams by watchpartying them with his lucky charm

depends on the map ngl. icebox, ascent, lotus, split, abyss, breeze, pearl : jett is a better option because of the verticality of maps
haven, fracture, bind, sunset is better for neon.

thing is jett is just a better and more comfortable agent on more maps than neon. it's just the tejo meta where stuns and map control with util became dominant and that's where neon shone. if we go back to how maps were played during every season you could just put in jett one-for-one everywhere and she'd be just as dominant (except maybe chamber)
better awp potential, verticality abusing, ability to just fly and never take fall damage, makes her a better option on every single open map or where the mid is more important than the site.
On a pure fragging basis jett is probably the best duelist to pick

first mvp ever :DD plus tenz is the face of valorant. just like how s1mple is the goat of cs, tenz is the face of valorant even after he's retired.

except that he did? he invented viper and cypher's meta of lurking and throwing cages and walls to create one-ways. ngl u should wathc his early vods and u'll realise how far ahead he was in his playstyle than others.

more than tenz? nt bro u failed there. tenz and nats didn't shine bc they were in shit teams. alfa had derke: niko of valorant, chronicle and leo/crashies.
if alfa was as great of a player as u say he'd be locking in reyna every single time they were under pressure and carrying fnc to wins like tenz did

shao's not nats. nats invented lurking, masters mvp against optic btw, champs grand finalist when he had decent team.

i'd disagree and say jett bc neon gets directly countered by vyse and cypher, meta sentinels right now.
if ur playing ranked and want to solo carry, u def don't want to take early dmg because of sentinel util. plus jett's dash is just a better escape and entry route than neon's dash

he's not the toronto mvp btw, f0rsaken is.
tokyo is shared with chronicle.
so what're u on about?
if u wanna talk great performances let's talk about how yay singlehandedly kept loud at bay.
the truly great ones are players like tenz who won with the highest carry performance ever, yay who's season was so dominant that he was positive against everyone in head to head, while having only 3 maps out 57 where he went negative, sacy who built brazilian valorant, demon1's rookie year, chronicle who carried fnc to their first win and was the 2nd best player on gambit, nats who invented lurking.
what's alfa got to offer? great mechanics? aspas and tenz did that better in their wins.
better sentinel? nats and meteor are better at sentinel
better teammate? sacy's right there

they focusing on real tournaments... not some mickey mose evo

nt bro. alfa is not top 3 when his only mvp is a joint mvp with chronicle
Chronicle
aspas
derke
tenz
nats
sacy
leo
yay
....
15: alfa

r u slow? or living under a rock? he engineered the train, became the conductor, led the train to victory

sentinel, secondary duelist

i am so sorry ;-;

💔suygetsu does not want to play controller

nt. he predicted prx winning toronto. sliggy's goated unlike some british bald person

10k on g2 winning champs. leaf being back makes the competition much more interesting bc he'll def be the next alfa (even tho alfa is younger)

yeah probably... i'd like some teams out like GE, Zeta, Furia, M8, KOI because they literally just don't do anything. except zeta's miracle run, they have nothing to show for them

yeah and 22-8 too. Remember that 1v4?

honestly i like TH's haven but i feel like rrq has a bit of an advantage since they are more aggressive. i feel like in the head to head TH will lose to RRQ but both are top2/3 in the world on haven

he doesn't remember. s0n has bad memory in general

remove that shit ass fluke flair

The bottom 2 orgs in a region that don't make playoffs/internationals in a single event across the entire year get relegated to ascension while the *previous ascension teams get to stay in franchising for longer

Lotus Prx
Sunset Prx
Haven ngl it's prolly rrq
Bind Prx or TL
Ascent TL or BBL rn
Corrode idk man it's weird as heck

no body had better mechanics than yay in 2022. aspas was probably a close second but leo could never achieve the peak of what yay did

💔what did my old man ange1 do to not appear alongside his teammates

let navi win bc they can actually win against tl. that way heretics don't make champs

prolly just play cs fpl seasons until u get picked by a team, then make the switch to valorant because u get more attention that way.

my boy poolchan

no place for duelists anymore
