problem is that valorant's mechanics are made for abilities to set the difference between players. Movement isn't as crisp as it is in CS, spraying isn't as hard as it is in CS, Operator isn't nearly as good as the AWP. Getting a better tactical aspect would require changing the game's base, and why would you want to do that? CS fans aren't going over, val fans might as well leave too cuz some people find abilities fun
how would you want valo to get a better tactical aspect than CS without becoming just CS 2.0?
watch tiktoks while you are saving cuz your reyna who said: ''bro trust me, I am a smurf'' is going 4-16
I mean i guess with bookie sponsors allowed by riot, maybe there is a chance?? at least they can try getting the likes of tundra, Gaimin Gladiators, Spirit into valorant
even that can be great, not asking for millions of prize pool, but give the tier 2 scenes at least part of the effort they give for GC and that would be great
it still doesn't mean BR and SA shouldn't get more investment
NA could still have had more orgs like faze or col or nouns for that matter, eeven more opportunity for talent to grow.
Brazil and Latam are providing talent, but there is even more out there, don't let it be the last generation of SA LATAM players, rather one of many
It was an instruction for everyone attending
but TSM aren't really that big, arent they still struggling financially due to the entire FTX shit? in EU the only big orgs are the likes of Mouz, in NA it's only TSM and maybe M80 (not even massive, just big), SA is almost dead cuz no investment
yeah that's a huge ass problem, afaik most CS and Dota teams dodged this problem by just deleting any shit related to social issues before announcing that they are going to Saudi.
but then what if Apeks get an invite? What happens to flor?
EWC is just another saudi hosted event, but it would be kinda funny to see orgs from NA and EU who are pro-LGBT rights then go on and attend an event in a country where being this said minority endangers your life
Huge +1 on the "highest comfortable sens", it basically provides great micro adjustments and gives flicks
np, faceit changed a lot after cs2 got released, elo abuse got way harder now. Fun fact, current complexity AWPer, hallzerk, has the longest recorded win streak on FACEIT with 136 games. Problem is that he and his buds were abusing the high elo faceit by sweating 2-3 maps and getting matched against lower elo. They would also dodge anyone who could beat them in skill just to farm the win streak
basically when you get way above the competition (around 5k elo) you almost always play for +12/+15 and not +25, and you lose -35 or -38. Basically you need to win 3 after 1 loss just to make it all back. Going from 5k to 7k would need around a 90% win rate and +133 wins. Everyone above 4k from the last season gets dropped to around 3.3k and then you need to get 3.7k in 6 months with that massive elo drop after a certain threshold.
or maybe it's because val first offered a bigger salary than he could have in CS, switched, was great for 4 years, then got dropped by giantX and CS market, which is now fully open circuit (meaning no franchising at all) seems a more viable career?
level 10 just starts at 2000 elo, and I think stats from CS GO claim that there is around 2% of lvl 10 out there
What is named radiant in valorant is just top 1000 rank on Faceit. Whenever you get a top 1000 spot in the elo ladder, you get a banner on your faceit profile. afaik highest elo was 5k by donk in cs2, 7k by monesy on csgo, but Faceit has only recently started resetting elo every 6 months so there is no point in actually getting 7k elo or higher
I hope they show their cajones and put together a Brazilian super team
The mad man, and c9 floppy, oh my god, this shit is real, it's actually happening
They have done some contract jailing in CS, currently one of the best support players in the world is benched for 200 days there
I mean I guess they can cash out something, heavygod can cost up to a mil if they are lucky, icy will be around a million (cuz Virtus pro are idiots), ax1le and boombla go to bookies who pay a lot so they might cash out
It came out of nowhere, there were rumours going around the other news, but then this shit comes and now boombla+ax1le are in betboom (instantly making them top 15 imo), heavygod in g2 and icy in Virtus pro
I would say yes, however they also -jks I think so we will have to see who is their 5th. Boombla likely goes to betboom where he gets magno(great player), zorte (best awper outside monesy and shiro in russia) and ax1le goes with him, as well as s1ren, who is cracked for an anchor.
CS roster mania kicked off today, and amongst one of the biggest rumoured transfers where Falcons bought heroic's core for around 5 million, Ropz joining vitality and Virtus Pro spending a million on a rookie, C9 FUCKING DISBANDED. WITH NO RUMOURS BEFORE THAT. JUST KABOOM. This piece of shit org fucks up in every game they exist, riot, just kick them the fuck out
nope, they moved to serbia actually and denounced the war
Donk is basically on Neon but without the dash, he has to entry the site alone with little to no utility, and he just aimfucks everyone
never was the best player on the team, most of the time not even top 2. Device would be the goat purely of majors won + individual stats, but he has never been top 1
Player - Dupreeh - 5 majors
coach - zonic - 5 majors
Org - astralis - 4 majors
navi's sponsor is gg.bet and crypto, didn't stop there. SPirit's owner is rich so he can probably afford to have another discipline open
CS doesn't have a set calendar like RIot do cuz there are more Tournament ORganizers, it's not just one, there are IEM events, blast events, PGL events and other TOs as well. But basically there are 2 seasons in a year, each set in between the major (so January to June and July to December) There are no kick-offs or stages, just an endless spree of events. The most Prestigous ones for next year are IEM Katowice Febraury (sort of like Masters 1), Cologne (masters 2) and 2 Majors, as well as the highest paying events for next year.
spirit avoid going into closed circuit leagues, which is why their two biggest disciplines are dota and CS
trajectory of 1 major = 1 year seems to me like a great thing for 10 years
ofc not, but in this universe sayonara is his twin brother split from him at birth
sayonara debuts on Gentle Mates in January 2025 (no regulation for age in this universe), sweeps masters bangkok with 1.70 rating, dominates the splits as a player but his team kinda drops, his team falters at masters 2 (where they only got to cuz of him being bat shit insane), almost doesn't attend champs, clutches the LCQ, gets to Champs, shit stomps every single team on his way, puts up 1.50 rating and takes home the Champs, Champs MVP, and breaks the records for youngest masters and champs winner all in one year
ALSO all of that on initiator btw
and now Russia and CIS as well will become Korea in LoL but on crack in CS
I feel like Faker is the GOAT of esports, but if donk continues on this trajectory, he is the GOAT of all esports
bro feels like some fucking sports freak like Shohei Ohtani or Lebron James, this shit is not normal for an entry
yeah but I am talking this year only. Donk got robbed of esports player of the year cuz the major was in December and the award concluded 3 days before that
only this year included, ofc donk is too far away, but given this trajectory, bro might be him
I don't know that much about lol, but donk this year
-> Won IEM Katowice with 1.70 rating and set a record the highest rating for an MVP (1st time app 1st time winner) at just 17 years old and around 3 weeks old
-> Has been by far the most hype player in cs media this year
-> HAs been putting up performances of >1.40 AS AN ENTRY
-> Has carried a medicore team to a major win in just 1 year time
-> MVP of several events
-> dozens of EVPs
-> had students dropping school cuz they want to follow in his step
-> resurrected ghoul/anime/weeb culture in russia again just cuz he is a fan of basketball kuroko and tokyo ghoul
Pound for Pound the best esports player right now? (this year only)
valve believe that bo5 are too long to follow
wanna talk about who has to be in the finals? IF you say g2 > faze cuz they were better in previous events then g2 should concede their playoff spot to navi cuz it was 9 and fucking 1
