it is the main reason, however the biggest CS content maker in russia and eastern europe, RAIZ, made a video where he made Jamppi look really sus, brought up his past, shit like that, and after that Jamppi got bombarded with thousands of messages where he was told to kill himself, retire, drown himself ,etc.

it was the main reason, however the entire eastern europe bullying him cuz he has beaten navi once was also a factor

I just smashed my phone in front of 30 guests at my party because of koalanoob. My wife just took our crying kids and said they’re all spending the week at a hotel. This team has ruined my life and my party. I can’t handle this anymore. Goodbye NaVi. Sell the slot to a big org like Team spirit, I am no longer a fan

sad to see this guy suffer from hate when one of the reasons why he left cs was hate from eastern europeans

1. yes
2. yes
3. 4 players lad
4. no
5. no
6. no
7. retirement home

well I would say that CS is surprisingly close despite being at like 40% of its potential with valo currently being around 80%

That's kinda low if it includes console as well

bro, it's 35 million UNIQUE users in a month, it doesn't mean concurrent, it means that 35 million different accounts played valorant this month ( CS has around 31 million accounts, yet we can remove a few millions due to bot accounts)

sagemommy IS NOT teaching anyone how to play the game

oh yeah, but the first 3 are the issues which are on valve. Community is a whole other problem. Accepting skins as content, talking about toxicity as if that's a good thing, letting misoginy and racism in. right now, valorant is a better game, but I believe that if valve pick up their shit and fix these issues, CS will clear valorant, in my personal opinion

niko clears

I was summoned

LOUD AND PROUD 🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥 (I am borderline schizophrenic cuz GayBen gave us skins and not subtick improvements

the only good thing i liked about this update were the animations, they made the experience better. Still, they teased netcoding, nothing happened .

cs esports is better imho because it doesn't depend on the developer and CS is now open circuit, unlike the franchising model

well riot are just better at advertizing their games

skincells throwing the game evolution, watch them eat up this update and say that the game is better now. played 4.5k hours in CS, so I guess I am qualified enough to say what the game is lacking

1. anti cheat, would improve the casual gaming experience and therefore increase player number
2. optimization, fps suffers massive spikes due to different effects
3. advertizing, the game lacks it. It doesn't make the game worse, but many people just don't know about CS ( seriously, there are like millions of kids in CIS who are still playing standoff instead of CS)

my beloved org getting roasted by bronzilians, navi are so cooked outside of CS.......

bad is an understatement :)

I have my questions towards c9 and eg as well

Vitality looks scary

well I come from a region where dota is a more popular game, so watching TI every year is a tradition for me

fuck mobas man, I need my 5v5 FPS

6 kills in 24 minutes at GEN.G vs Weibo, zzzzzzzzzzz

Derke will be another player to retire, he will pursue the career in Deadlock, sources say he will join Vitality's deadlock lineup!

why are navi like this?

oh, got it, ty

worst shit is that I have beaten my nemesis PSG in the semis, so I pretty much thought I have won.

ah yes, the infinite pain of any sports manager game. Time to trauma dump some football manager
My starting XI for VfB Stuttgart costed around 800 mil, my two strikers were Balon D'or winners, My midfield was elite, My wingbacks outscored some strikers in G+A, My goalkeeper had like 20 clean sheets, I was undefeated at Bundesliga and broke the record for most points ever (which was set by myself a year ago). I lost to fucking Ajax in a UCL Final. I swear I could have added Aliens from Space Jam as my subs and I would have still lost

my brain is so fucked because I laughed at that shit

ok, if you go by earnings Heretics fuck off all the way back out of top 10. There are 6 orgs in cs which won more than TH (navi, spirit, mouz, vitality, faze, g2), a few orgs in dota (GG, Falcons, Spirit, Liquid to name a few), I am sure other games have 1-2 orgs with bigger earnings. Therefore, there should only be EDG from valorant

g2 has niko and malbs now, donk only has sh1ro who is a well known choker, zont1x is now a bot ,magixx and chopper aren't tier 1, Donk is literally 1v9

so now earnings matter the most?

wait, 100k 12 hours before the game, I didn't understand it a bit

no fucking way they are pulling the same shit as in cs.....

but I do think donk has the best CV. If CS had the Value over Replacement like big sports, Donk would have astronomical numbers.

best players left the region
orgs are restarted
best talent is either gatekept by age or nepotism
seems like the perfect recipt for a dead region

that's like yatoro's worst year out of the 4 💀

funniest shit is that he is the candidate here yet he lost the breakthrough of the year award to malr1ne cuz ''malr1ne had more wins with falcons in dota than donk with spirit' yet donk is present at the overall player of the year while malr1ne isnt

https://x.com/esportsawards/status/1839409967071105105
wtf are tenz and yatoro doing there?

you cannot be the best without winning anything, simple as that.
Team of the year is up for grabs, liquid from dota and navi from cs have won the biggest events in the year at their games but both haven't been winning constantly (albeit navi made a strong case by getting 5 finals in a row while winning 2 of them)

If navi were somewhat competitive in valorant, being like top 3 emea, you could say navi vs fnatic. NaVi's first big win as an org was defeating fnatic at ESWC 2009, so their beef is 15 years old now

superteam should only be applied if these are all five players in their natural best roles who have no ego issues before, which has like a 0.01% chance

not even top 20 Brazilian org, XD

Being a better player =/ more well known

some people know Tenz without watching a single VCT game, that just shows who is well known, and that's what being ''a face of the game'' is

thanks for the info!

well not top1 emea for sure

but vitality also had to resort to signing two free players ( or one with a low buy) to change anyone. And they might look into selling one of their players to buy a star, so they aren't in a huge plus.
Also, just curious, what's the average monthly salary in val?
I know that buyouts are insanely different, wtih cs setting 600k for someone like m0nesy even before his pro debut, and I have heard tier 2 players have like 80k and it is considered a lot

chances of them doing good?
