Rather buy skins when I want and sell them when I don’t want them anymore instead of them saying with me forever.

This purest guy just tweets out the dumbest stuff for likes it seems like. Olof literally replied to the tweet saying it’s not true.

Sentinels simps disagree with us

Do people get baited that easily?

I mean some of the top EU teams have 2 UK players, 3 if you count the coach. All better than Sentinels.

Surprised they haven’t realized yet that you can’t be a full time streamer and full time pro at the same time.

Couldn’t even go deep in Berlin. Couldn’t make playoffs at Champs. Never learn I guess.

Sentinels care more about streaming

Old news
I think Skadoodle is done for good. Doesn’t seem like he cared much for the game. Might go back to streaming.
Autimatic is joining EG most likely for CS.

Link HLTV page

I was told the first two seasons are pretty good. I’ve seen part of the 1st season and liked it.

I’m just gonna say this

It’s hard to be a full time pro and also full time stream. Just will never work. I get there is a player break rn for Val but even before the player break, majority of the sentinels roster especially shazham put a lot of time and effort into streaming. That’s not a bad thing but you can’t do both.

Maybe, another idea since FPX is a Chinese org, if you want to get a bigger following back home you can bring in an Asian player or two, doesn’t have to be Chinese. Highly doubt it will happen though. But moving to CIS could also help Chinese/Asian viewers watch matches more easily due to time zones.

That gives me enough time to cook a burger between every queue.

Yeah I think we can guess that number of players there is not very high and everyone probably knows each other.

When I went to California, I googled what to get and got a double meat (no cheese cause lactose) animal style and got fries and a shake.

Isn’t there Tokyo servers for Europe as well

Trust me bro

Hate boner

Well the playerbase in Valorant in NA is bigger than the playerbase of CS rn in NA just due to the fact of Valorant is trendy in NA. There is a lot of young talent in both scenes but none of them get signed. I get there were players in CS who switched to Val who never got a real chance in cs who now are on a team but the examples you gave are kind of bad.
Tenz has The biggest following in Valorant, why would he switch back
S0m had potential but dipped before he got a real chance, if he switched where he would go?
Ethan was the only player you mentioned who had a real career in CS but switched due to travel. I don’t see him switching back unless LANs fully return (who knows when that will be)
Leaf along with all the chaos boys should have all been signed but cucked to covid
Shanks is a MDL thrower, No one will sign him.

I don’t think any scene is washed or not. There are just a lot of washed or failed players in the na Val scene from cs. Doesn’t make the scene washed. I think if na Val wants to be on top again. The mindsets got to chance.

I think he also had a big buyout as well that teams didn’t want to pay. He was still contracted with OG till the new year started.

Well the difference between Autimatic and nitro and NBK is two of them were in a struggling NA scene hit hard due to Covid with not a lot of options. People said they were washed but they are just retarded. Even though Autimatic had lackluster results he played good and we all know how well nitro played. I think they make champions if they didn’t drop steel but that’s just imo. Going with NBK, he just wanted a free handout back to t1 cs after he got benched instead of joining a t2 team and working his way back up (Kennys was the same) and I believe he had a big buyout. I never followed NBK in Val so I don’t know how good he was in it. I just know before he switched he wasn’t playing great in CS. I think it’s just ego thing.

Those who call Valorant dead are stupid but most likely call it dead because a lot of Val players call cs dead so. Cs players been hearing it since 2017 so I can assume it’s annoying.

Regarding the retirement home, as harsh as it sounds, at least in the NA scene for Val, majority of the pros were washed or failed cs players which isn’t a bad thing but it Is the truth. It would be nice to see more new players given a chance than same players cycled between rosters like NA cs.

This was a lot longer then I intended too. My bad

Reminds me of orisa’s abilities in overwatch with the beam shooting.

that is not at all how it works lol. gambling is a choice, you don't have to gamble to get skins lol.

Shazham been a rat since 2014. I will admit he has a good laugh though.

Only downside to it is you can’t sell anything. Imo I think half of the bundles in Valorant are a rip off. I feel bad for kids I get in my game who spent like 800 dollars on skins.

I mean he is mechanically insane. He went from CS to Valorant which lets be real, is not as mechanically skillful as CS with a shooting style that was honestly made for him. The sale was he played CS is the same way he plays Valorant. It’s just a buff for him. Considering he mains Reyna, it just comes down to aim and positioning which is something he already excels in.

Hltv lives rent free

He’s signing with EG and it’s the player break for CS lol

Degenerate

Cavern is fine but the other one is a mdl thrower so

Majority of NA VAL fans are stupid tbh. They just don’t understand how things work. They care more about star fragger and the rest will fall into place.

Depends on the streaming or not

Everyone out here trying to be Vital

Don’t take this the wrong way but if you are planning to study aboard, please do not waste your time with Valorant and enjoy your time and experience while you are there.

Angry little man who’s mad at the world

6’7 cut them like 4 days ago

Everything checks out

Just hold wider and shoot when they swing into your crosshair.

Seems like a personal problem to be silver 1

Valorant videos do tend to have titles with more quotes in their titles than any other game I’ve seen like you noted.

“Sage what was that wall”
“Who is this Jett”

And so on

High risk high reward weapon

I think only hubs exist

The only thing that is relevant in NA is twitch viewers

It was fun. I remember my friend played viper before it was the meta. We used to do this boost with the wall where you can get launched. Was cool to find all these cool tricks. Now when I play I get an e couple on my team.

If you ever played esea, I think esea has the best matchmaking system in all games. Assuming you’re from Europe, I know esea wasn’t as big there for pugs, people only used the league system. But it was always big in NA. It was bigger than faceit for a long time here until all the pros switched back to faceit for fpl. But esea has the best ranking system. At least it did at a point. The best part about it is the .block system. If you get a terrible or toxic teammate. You can .block them and they can never get on your team again. Best feature ever. I do like the top 500 leaderboard system in val. The only sucky part is you have to play a shit ton to get it. For someone like myself who goes to school full time and others who do the same or work. Can be quite hard to keep a rank like radiant or get it.

Cares more about streaming. Cant full time stream and be a pro. Just will never work.

High elo pugs in faceit isn’t bad or if you queue like one of the hubs. There is always a given to have a bad team or teammates but it just seems more frequent in Valorant. Valorant has a bigger smurfing problems than any other game right now. I have friends who have like 10 accounts, boost them all and then sell them for easy $$$. Obviously takes time but one immortal account with skins can easily sell for 600 depending on the skins.

I do know for NA mm though. It’s a lot different from EU mm. There are players who are gold nova in mm who realistically shouldn’t be there. I have a friend who’s 2600 elo on faceit but stuck gn4 in mm. For whatever reason it’s impossible to gain elo in NA. You win 10 games in a row and it’s a coin flip if you rank up.

I had the most fun with Valorant when it first came out. Not as many degenerates playing the game when it first came out and 5 stacking in high ranks with friends was a blast.

Fun is an overstatement. Ranked in Valorant sucks lol. I do like the leaderboard aspect but the ranked overall is aids. It’s a coin flip simulator regarding if you get good teammates or not, not to mention toxicity. Seems like every game you curb stomp or get curbed stomped. Hardly any close games in my rank. Unless riot fixes the boosted accounts problems and smurfing (not as big of deal in my rank) I just have a hard time enjoying or having a good time. It’s just annoying when you get gold players on your team buying immortal accounts and so on.
