ok, time for an opinion which will probably cost me downvotes, but here i go. n4rrate, and most young pros in general, have 0 social norms. Most of them just dwelled their time after school by just playing games, where most people are inherently toxic. remember that saying: ''if you talk with 3 fools, you will become the 4th, if you talk with two intellectuals, you will become the 3rd''. The anti-toxicity mechanisms have only started working recently, however they weren't in place where n4rrate started playing, for example. He shouldn't get cancelled, but he should be taught on how to behave normally.

people like you are the reason val is assosciated with e-daters

Crazy how both of these companies are on top of the gaming world yet both do anything in their power to kill their scenes.
Rito - create franchising -> make tier 2 investments useless -> Kill tier 2
Volvo - make CS an open circuit -> make retarded ranking system -> make all invites ranking based -> Prevent orgs from getting into cs.
The level of their autism just shows how shit the other competition is

shit is just unsustainable, 2-3 day short term loan of a stadium is the most profitable system, otherwise you would need for Riot to rent out the arena for 5 weeks (average length of stages last year) in cities like LA or Berlin it's just impossible

but that's just rito's fault in getting such candidates in, and I doubt there are a lot of orgs who could possibly go instead of mibr

how do you even think of number 4 being realistically possible?

winning two international events grants you knighthood

that's the funny thing, there isn't. CS and dota, meanwhile, are like top 3 in terms of sports popularity, navi as an org is 2nd in price amongst ALL Ukrainian sports orgs (Costs more than Dynamo Kyiv, the team with the most Ukrainian Football Championships in history), navi's cs victories are celebrated and honoured by the president and his office, navi cs roster featured in the Ukrainian Language Book and their victory at Copenhagen was described there, NaVi's owner bought 3 hotels in the middle of Kyiv with plans of a ''esports hub'' in Kyiv after the war ends, there are professional athletes involved in CS esports sphere (like Zinchenko, Ukraine's national team captain who owns a cs team), CS is so engraved to Ukraine that val basically has 0 chance of getting a fanbase

I mean tbf those stints were some of the funniest shit to come out of navi, like seized (navi cs roster) not being able to cut a water melon properly :D https://youtu.be/flhKl-DiCY8 or one of their ex-dota players claiming the other player would stare into the plate of food for 10 minutes :D

want the funny thing? All of navi's shit stints started with internal conflicts.
Navi CS kicked zeus behind his back in 2016
navi dota fell apart cuz artsyle argued with puppey
nabi pubg fell apart cuz of conflicts
GGs

sadge that navi decided to just shoot themselves in the foot, just like they do in any other game except for CS. Like when rito were looking at applications, I am sure navi looked like this https://imgur.com/a/H1ZqPEz
rito just went: ''Wow, your cs division is so impressive, you are in'' and meanwhile navi are just looking at their dota roster which just screams ''kill me''

how do you want relegation when franchising as a whole prevents relegation? There is expansion in franchising, there is relocation in franchising, but there is no relegation

y1y coming next year

cars 3 typa devastation

biggest cned fan taking the slander just like that, what happened to 100% cope and delusion?

1. valid idea, HOWEVER contradicts with the whole point of franchising (Big american leagues are built in the same way and the worst teams aren't booted)
2. the biggest problem is that the transition from tier 3 to tier 2 and from tier 2 to tier 1 is a cluster fuck
3. just lock the winner of the international event to champs and let them use regional league as practice
4. absolutely fucking NO, that's a way straight to hell with finances, OWL tried them, ask them how it went bud
   5.LCQ for Champs just screams mickey mouse to me
   EDIT. To add to point 4, reason why it's a terrible idea is that this is just not viable. Example Given, IEM Cologne is one of the biggest events in esports and the tickets to it are sold out mere seconds and days into ticket waves yet ESL doesn't find 4 day ticket sale viable, 3 days is the optimum.

cboobs vs china honorary citizen at tier 2 🔥🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️

bro's got viper's ult as a passive ability 💀💀💀💀

so 12x6 = 72 teams, all funded by riot, all given franchising rights, all guaranteed by riots contracts? That shit will cost more than the overwatch league

and have most orgs drop their division cuz there is no incentive to stay???? The reason so many orgs invested and got into valorant in the first place is that they knew that riot would switch to a league format, sooner or later

Idek what navi are cooking at valorant at this point, like it doesn't look anywhere near structured compared to navi cs, more looks like navi dota, where players change just because others want them gone

And you do realize that no org means that not so much talent will actually be in the tier 2, right?

And now they have tiny chances of making it cuz they are either in on franchising or out completely

I want Luka to win man

This year will probably be the year Leo Fartia's tier 2 negligence catches up to him. Tier 2 na had so much talent and most of it will not compete cuz they don't have a pay check to fucking live, well played Volvo agent

My fellow Justik fan, my man

And achieve what? Brazil is fucked without aspas, less, saadhak, you want to scratch any sort of hope by letting the other talent leave too? Yes, it will increase the overall level of teams but it will kill any sort of regional identity. CS has 3 times the number of title contenders than 7 years ago, but now there is no Polish scene, no Matter scene, no NA scene, in Swedish scene. CS didn't drop in popularity because of it, even increased, but almost every team is international now

No import rule = one region domination= 3 others suck = boring.
Like the biggest W the vct pulls is how widespread the popularity is. You pull that and it is unlikely to go the LoL road, you will probably go the CS route where the best talent will just leave worst regions

Scariest level I can imagine Is when you have a child. Was this coughing just a cough or sudden death? Is it cold? Did I feed it? Is everything good with your hearing/sight?

3/4 maps top frag, on par with donk on faceit, also we talk about 2020 s1mple

If other CS pros adapted, I don't see why s1mple couldn't. If he was in the first wave of CS arrivals, he would set the curve

He doesn't rely on his mechanics only, he relies on his game sense, he is one of the most versatile cs players (alongside zywoo), he is like LeBron of CS

Any agent which has an ability to go for a self-peek, and which can trade teammmates, so almost any duelist. S1mple proved his adaptability throughout the years in CS

S1mple schooled monesy, I am sure he would school primmie/woot/zekken. And while I am at it, cs players possess better mental and longevity than most valorant pros which just proves my point that s1mple would be broken

He would be yay with a stronger mental, more experience, and more egoisitc as well as I believe better raw skill

if s1mple switched to valorant full time in 2020 Ukraine would be a powerhouse region like Turkey in terms of talent and s1mple would be a 2x time Champs winner

that's why watching both cs and valorant is the meta, one substitues the other

reduxx being signed just confirms it's zellsis last tour, the only question is that if he will get kicked after Toronto or Champs

1. I use the word чел/тип (which means guy) which is gender neutral anyways
2. I personally don't think so, if I had a person tell me their pronouns, I would respect them, as for the game character, I believe it doesn't matter as much
3. I support it if it makes sense, same for every minority. I liked CJ from GTA, I liked Lee from The Walking Dead, I liked Ellie from the Last of Us. They didn't feel forced, it wasn't overwatch's sudden ''yeah soldier 76 is gay now'', it was a part of the minority which made sense for the character

use 2025 on how to coach from blade, transition in 2026 and launch navi rebuild 2.0

he should take lessons from blade on how to successfully transition from IGLing to coaching and make navi more than a 1 game org

Nikita ''TwoFaced'' Sirmitev

their post did sound a bit like a farewell

and zinchenko owns a cs esports team, like bees to honey

which is why everyone and their mother says t2 is shit

If valorant doesn't exist 90% of players can find themselves a home at tier 2 cs

Being that offended by people just doing what they want with their bodies is crazy

Bro found out navi management outside of CS is completely retarded, RIP

I liked the combo, and I am a s1mple fan, not a falcons fan. he is a player from navi, on loan at a saudi org, questions?

I have been a fan of s1mple since I have started watching cs in 2018, I will support whereever he goes bro
