They almost lost against EG.

Eyetest > Trophies

And there can not be more then one goat. And with the s1mple vs dev1ce vs Zywoo debate it is very clear. If you are in any way a sensible human being you value eyetest and how strong their enemies were over accomplishments. And if you factor that in s1mple clearly is the goat. He had his prime during the rain of CS:GOs greatest dynasty. He was so good that he carried a team with edward, Zeus and Flamie to major finals and even single handedly took of championships of that team. He also has had the best performances at prestige events and his major run was about 5 times harder then Zyw0os. In the playoffs he faced Zyw0o, Gambit and NiKo, meanwhile Zw0o never won against a top 15 ranked team in all of his major playoff matches combined and pretty much always falls of at prestige events. S1mple is the GOAT.

Spoiler: Teams can fall of. Just look at sentinels. To me both NaVi and DRX have clearly fallen of a cliff.

Thats gonna be a hot take so buckle up. I as a chronicle fanboy through and through say that FNC will only be tied if not even lower to OPTIC and LOUD for being the best team in history.

FNC is the only team in history to win 2 international titles, and they are probably going to win this one as well, which obviously is a great argument for them being nr. 1 of all time. From an individual perspective I would even agree that they are the greatest team of all time. The only team that is on a comparable level in terms of firepower is LOUD in 2022.

The issue with fnatics run is that since franchising started competition just got worse and worse, and you can only really judge the greatness of a team by how good their opposition is. The evemts they have won so far really had bad competition. One was single elimination when no team had any reps, and in the other ones the 2 best teams were one team with a standin for their superstar and the other one is EG who arent even a top 10 team of all time.

FNC isnt really that much better then the sum of their parts really. The team who got the most of their parts is probably Optic. Loud on the other hand just is the perfect mix of individuals and overall team performance.

Competition got worse since franchising. Loud, NRG, NAVI, DRX have all fallen of a cliff and are PRX and FNC today better then the top teams of last year? I mean you can only judge a teams greatness by how good their rivals were.

look up eg danny.

I literally wouldnt do anything rn. Honestly couldnt think of a move

The fact that people get pissed of for normal banter, but straight up do not care when EG abuses a young man with mental health issues that he leaves the competitive space says everything about the esports community. You can be Riot games and be run by literal psychopaths who abuse woman as long as you put a rainbow item for 50 bucks in may into your store and make a post that agent x is gay and the degenerates will be pleased.

His thing, just wondering.

Astra??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Aspas, Laz or Pancada tbh.

Vaorant players really look worse then the CS pros tbh. I have no idea why thats the case tho. At least the europeans and americans. CS just has so many that would completely wipe the floor here. We really lack the guys that are concerned about physical health tbh. Imagine a guy like Twistzz or dev1ce in the pro scene, female viewership would go nuts.

PRX are under FNC until proven otherwise. FNC are the absolute favourites to win it all and PRX is the only one who could stop them.

This is Fnatic vs TSM 2015 in CS type shit

You got this king

181cm 77KG

190KG deadlift
115KG Bench
145KG Squat
Lean with abs

Quiet proud about that tbh. 80kg with same bodyfat is my goal

Thats literally a massive W for small Orgs that are operating well like ENCE or Monte. It also hurts shit orgs who burn money and take up slots like EG.

In CS you actually have to do your job really well to make an org successful from now on. That stinks for NA Orgs who really cant opperate without franchising so dont expect orgs like 100paycheckstealers to come back into CS. TSM already seems to be the new EG aswell. Great for Orgs like Falcons who actually want to establish themself.

FNC Krimz

Work on your pathing while entrying and make sure that you communicate your actions to your mates so that they get a sense of how to play around you.

If you have better teammates that just means you are not the best player in the world.

Straight 5 I would say.

pros:

• full lips
• good jawline
• lean
• blue eyes
• eye form

negatives are:

• skin is not the best
• high hairline
• mid face on the longer side
• eyebags
• not perfectly straight nose thanks to a scar I have
• Eyebrows also not very thick

Including hair is unfair tbh. Hair helps me to cover acne and high forehead, also my hair quality is amazing for my ethnicity.

Then let me guess, Xyp is also better then NiKo and Elige, right?

Watching stuff all day really aint more productive then partying tbh. Watching you tube usually is a waste of time tbh.

Going out for drinks and shit is quiet a good way to socialise with others, and it usually is very fun. Got my first gf cuz I met her at a party and we played a drinking game.

If thats your definition of friendship then it is possible yeah.

It just is an issue that the term friend kinda lost a lot of meaning over the last few years, especially with social media. In reality it is almost impossible to have any more then 5 "real" friends. You can have many good acquaintances, but a real deep bonding is only possible with a hand full of people.

Also quiet a few people who say that they have alot of friends tend to have 0 real friends in reality. Have seen it many times.

Define friendship here

The issue with this question is that everybody has their own definition of friendship. For some a friend already is the drinking buddy who you see at social meetups, to others it has to be somebody you have to interact with every day. In reality, you really cant have more then 5 "real friends". If you think you have 20 friends or something you are going to be dissappointed when you age.

I personally think that, especially at a younger age, a close friendship between two people of the opposite gender is close to impossible. I honestly cant think of any "close friendships" between 2 opposite sex people in my real life were one actually isnt interested in the other.

If you would bang your best friend it is already not a normal friendship.

One thing that can happen for sure is that one had a crush and lost interested over time.

Aspas and s0m are in contention for sure.

Dafuq are you smoking with marved

What has he done in the last 1,5 years? Serious question. He has done literally fuck all in vitality. Not even saying that he is bad, I just think he is an average emea IGL.

He is, but he aint what makes the team special. To be fair I might be wrong on that one cuz if I think of him I think of his time as the main duelist.

What have you seen from Bonecold that makes you believe that he is good? Vitality certainly doesnt belive in him.

I dont care lol

Derke is 3-4 best player on his team rn. Chronicle and Leo are pretty much the definition of flawless players and Alfa has top 3 aim in the world. f0rsaken is the 3rd best player on his team imo. He is slightly overrated.

I wont say people from NA since that is to obvious. In literally any game there is a few popular american players get massively overrated. The NA esports scene was and always has been an even more cringe version of high school.

Overrated are:

• Bonecold
• cNed
• Derke (In terms of being seen as the best player in the world even though he aint even or barely is a top 5 player this year)
• f0rsaken
• Pathipan
• Redgar (or at least he was overrated)

Building and Emotes

Ofc Fnatic, since Loud seems to be imploding they are poised to create the very first dynasty of Valorant, similar to Astralis in CS:GO or SKT in LoL.

The only team that has a realistic chance at stopping them is PRX. But betting for them is hopium at this point.

If the rumors are true, which seems likely, Loud is about to bomb hard.

Less "Twofaced" Toledo

Good pick

I would say that Zyppan is underrated since all the praise for the team goes to every other player accept him. Him and JonahP are literally the same in my eyes in that perspective. And Soulcas gets battered from every side even though I see other players do far worse and they never get the battering for that.

JonahP
Zyppan
Zest
Mistic
Soulcas
frz
Dep
qRaxs

I feel like the question about who is underrated often develops into "Who is cracked that doesnt have a huge amount of fame". For example: Cloud is a player that obviously the average casual Tarik-SEN fan doesnt know anything about. But pretty much anybody that has watched giants or so knows that he is insanely cracked. Is he really underrated then? I dont think so.

Now, I dont think we should give a shit about casual plebs that watch the esport cuz his fav streamer said that it is cool.

I wouldnt say that Soulcas is a good player, but he aint terrible and is solid at util. That already makes him very underrated since most people think he is shit.

Still probably the game with the highest mechanical ceiling

Easy, he is an UT4 player. UT and Quake are probably the hardest esports shooters of all time. If you are good at them you for sure are good at Valorant.

Devve really had a glow down tho. Compare him to his 2017 version,

Jermans

Chronicle
Aspas
FNS
nAts
Shao

3 years of Valorant are not nearly enough to call anybody washed tbh.

He is a solid tier 1 player that could be a solid 3rd star on a lineup that has championship potential. But that it.

With horrible I mean Orgs that either are run poorly or have been doing/ are doing imoral shit in the past. Here are my picks:

• TSM
• Evil Geniuses
• Faze

• Ninjas in Pyjamas

  What would be your picks for bad orgs?

As always in Valorant

International Events won:

NA: 2
EU: 5
BR: 1
Asia: 0
