HAHAHA

ong

maybe its finally time Ange1 gives up the "die first, igl is easy when you can see all 4 screens" strategy

NRG is gonna geek when SEN watches mid unlike C9 and MIBR

as long as SEN doesn't let Demon1 simply just fucking walk up mid and kill 3 from behind for no reason every 3rd round this is a 2-0 for SEN surely

Your goat has a google doc https://docs.google.com/document/d/1S9OpZhPEWLyBt9baj4xzC2mnk_2327AS_iOhheJfA04/edit

Mindfreak is PRX best player lmfao?

I beg you to go look at Demon1’s debut vs OXY’s. And then I want you to look at a single match of OXY’s year long adventure in the NA VCL with old G2 (he’s not a rookie anymore lmfao)

Oxy very obviously leaves massive gaps in his team play for the trade off of being a alright raze and clicking heads sorta fine. He’s really disappointing and the places where he lacks are exactly where C9 and old G2 consistently fail and fall apart

They got so lucky that C9 made the biggest blunder in Valorant history dropping Leaf and picking up Oxy. G2 would be so fucking dog if they were playing with Oxy as their duelist on top of everything else

duh, what im saying is that doing exactly what Ethan does on skye is a better sign of team health than fragging the fuck out

skye isnt really a fragging agent. if the skye is dropping 25, something is wrong. either the opposing team needs to ge their shit together, or your raze needs to get their shit together

is qck1 actually pronounced q-c-k then. The English casters saying q-c-k instead of quick-one like qck1 would be said in Leet speak has been irritating me all week lmao

i am gonna go check out what google translate says like SmartPerson said to do, after my lecture so ill see but really? In english id be inclined to pronounce jzz as either Jazz or Jizz, and Frz as Fer-z

thanks

apac has some REAL stinkers. its really sad

how are these names pronounced?
like Jizz and Frizz? is jizz a name thats only weird in english?

map pool is indeed horrifyingly bad

you underestimate how shit Ange1 and Ardiis are

whats it even gonna be?

its chalked for them lol

its kinda funny split went from SEN's worst map to a pretty strong map of theirs

to be fair, C9 is probably the best team in the world on an ECO. but yeah an overtime half is not what we wanna be seeing from NRG rn

playing a solved map against a team your confidently better than is safer than not

Again

A peak gold player legitimately isn’t even playing the same game as a immortal ranked player, let alone a pro player and it’s not because of mechanics

Because they work a job. Any worthwhile coach has been at some point in time a pro player themselves or at the very least a high rank player. A peak gold player legitimately isn’t even playing the same game as a immortal ranked player, let alone a pro player and it’s not because of mechanics

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effect

Any team that dosnt leave mid completely uncontested for Demon1 to just walk up and kill 3 from behind would be in pretty hot competition with NRG

TMV as in thinking man’s Valorant?

Since when are we taking Gold players advice on what good Valorant looks like?

They really are

Title

if you look at players to population its 100% Chile, after that its prolly Canada (not even 40 million surprisingly), then Turkey, then Brazil for its volume

what he did in NA and in NRG has gotta be against some rule ya?

look pretty good for an EMEA team

Is it just crazy to me that not only does Falcons have a GC team but they’re also 2-0 in their GC group rn?

https://x.com/mrcipe/status/1759898417655120260?s=46

Shits unreal. Aspas IS best Jett in the world btw, EMEA frogs don’t even get it mixed up for a second that Derke or some other random are in his league

Would be so good in Challengers League, wow

i woke him up

thank god. goat is online

i woke him up, everyone is welcome. bro was 5/14 a minute ago

what the fuck dude

It is. But people who say Boaster or whoever else need to know they’re dumb

Only IGL that can also shoot, and has been the #2+ team for 3 years now

thx g

is apex legends in a good spot rn. I uninstalled it prolly a year and a half ago now cuz it was just ass for like 7 months straight

game is only ever the worst or the best game on the market at any given moment, shits funny

It is. But it’s really unfortunate for the future of the league

Don’t get me wrong I hate Texas, but there’s no reason why riot should have located NA Val in LA.
Pre franchising Valorant was already established pretty strongly in Texas for scrim ping reasons before franchising was established. LA is expensive for both players, orgs, and fans. And from personal travel experience, I think Huston is probably the easiest place to get to in America from any place in the country besides Denver. Which matters of course because fans across the country of course want to watch games in person but I just don’t think going all the way to LA to watch Valorant is realistic for a lot of people. People talk about dead small American crowds but don’t really acknowledge that a vast majority of passionate fans just can’t be there for usually financial reasons

Ah, thank you. That is unfortunate that they are playing

Is he the the guy from The Union who SAed someone?

Ik last year during the NA VCL playoffs there was huge controversy over two Union players, one for SAing someone and another was a pedo(?). I thought Havoc was the former and tons of people were talking about how he was their best player but would never make it into franchised Valorant cuz of the SA.

Was it just a different player and I’m mistaken or did he really manage to somehow get into the league and riot just didn’t take action themselves?

this is pretty much what people were running before Icebox was taken out of rotation anyways

yeah, thats why you skye dog or prowler after. I think you fundamentally misinterpret "bad flashes are bad" with "flashes are bad".
Flashes are disruptive utility used to punish/deny a hold and ideally also force a player to reposition. Flashes do this by blinding an enemy into lets say a 90% conversion rate for a full blind. If they aren't full blinded, they have either moved off the angle entirely or fell off the angle momentarily/turned from the flash and lost agency over space they previously controlled at no risk.
Once that has been achieved, Dogs and prowlers and drones are used to clear close corners and angles for teams because they apply a status that make whoever they are walking into easier to take down than if they had no status applied, but also not as easy to take down as if they were rather flashed.
I think its easy to agree that Full blind = harder but better conversion rate, status utility = easier but relatively worse conversion rate

So now if we look at a comp with no flashes, you are forced rather to push off a kangkang with molly's(risky and do not regenerate) and concusses(not a particularly effective status condition unfortunately). Mollys and concusses also force minimal repositioning for their low disruption(neither good nor bad, just different); and on a no flash team, hits like that are prone to being shut down entirely by powerful defensive utility. Ultimately no flash teams hinge on incompetent and unprepared opposition, and limit defensive player predictability which creates inconsistencies which removes wincons and ultimately creates losses.

Also if you don't think jiggling is coinflipping then you should check out any radiant streaming ever and wait for them to blow up on their 12/14/1 Jett and explain
