when the post's so good you can't tell if they're baiting or unironically crashing out

alfa, woot, riens, atakaptan and yetujey

bit much mate

it's PessiPenaldo17, is that even a question?

me when I lie

going off of scrims, they're insane

most of the time on attack and retake, initiator util is being used after controller and sentinel util has been used, meaning that they're less likely to be directly taking part in the big gunfights that occur during executes, which tends to lead to lower kills and damage per round. Fade probably struggles with this more than sova since her util tends to come out a bit slower.

edit: shock darts help as well

none of the teams they beat actually looked good unfortunately, unless we want to count an impaired fnc. They generally do well against other ema teams though which is why I said internationally

edit: *emea

The skye nerfs were definitely a massive blow to his agent pool but he's easily still good enough for apac tier 1. Recon initiators are generally expected to preform worse than the other roles anyway, so I feel like acting as though he's just going to be a drag on whatever korean roster he finds himself on next is a bit unfair.

waste of an import slot for cn, especially with all the great russian players they have easy access to due to server locations

it's only good because it punishes people's habits, no different than people going for "wide swings"

I feel like kru is a bit better than fut but they both love shitting the bed internationally so the comparison is definitely fair lol

probably a hot take but victor's neon and raze are still world class, he just didn't abuse the new broken slides as well as someone like kangkang did

off season bo1 where teams play multiple matches a day is the definition of a mickey mouse tourny, these results rlly don't matter at all

Curry and Reduxx were almost certainly never meant to be the 4th and 5th since Curry is their sub and Reduxx wouldn't be allowed to play in vct until split 1. They're "stand-ins" until partnered teams are allowed to officially announce roster additions on the 7th of October.

"d1 hating" but I respect it lmfao

OMFG what a series. Spg threw, but boom threw harder, sloppy valorant wins again. all jokes aside, neon + judge on attack when u have way more than enough to buy a rifle instead is just stupid and shouldn't be viable in a tactical shooter. I hope they revert the neon slide buffs and improve her other util to make her a more interesting agent to both play and watch instead of run 'n' gun shenanigans.

maybe heretics vs edg would've been more hype if the community didn't bash heretics so much for shit talking at madrid idk, not that that should've stopped them tbf

they technically are because they didn't qualify as they were invited. I don't think reduxx and curry are going to be part of the final roster anyway, especially since the latter wouldn't've turned 18 until the season had already started

the event itself is "listed" but nothing else abt it is unfort

Ppl are angry for whatever reason and being able to hate on something together makes them feel like that anger is being validated. It's just idiots being idiots, don't let it affect you :)

"No famous athletes" is the most obvious bait I've ever seen, especially for someone w/ a fake japan flag lmao

damn that sucks, hope he's feeling better for tomorrow then. thx for the info

rip what happened to him

Talon makes a tweet showing their support for JFT, shocking the entire Thai val community. Betrayed, FS tilts so hard that JFT are able to get away with running it down w/ iso every round and pull off the greatest upset in VCT history.

if JFT win this, I'm getting their logo tattooed on my chest

losing 3/4's of ur maps 3-13 is rough, can't help but think the fancy might've done a fair bit better

ikr, austria is just the worst :(

His stats at from the past few matches weren't good but I thought he was still looking solid for most of the year?

Unironically the goat. Maybe not the best of all time, but definitely the greatest.

Crypto throwers used to be a massive issue predominantly on the NA servers over a year ago but a lot of that died when the 2022 nft hype did. I don't remember riot doing much if anything to stop it, so your best bet is probably going to be through complaining to tencent directly, especially if they'rve already tried to crack down on this stuff in the past.

regardless of what it is, it should've gone to chichoo :(

true

nah you've lost it bro I'm sorry. rrq and secret could maybe pull off an upset if 100t were having an off day but t1, zeta and ge all just look bad. why not include talon tho, I thought they were alright?

what r the 3-4 other teams in pacific that you think would beat a c9 or 100t?

the lakia of valorant would've won madrid and stage 1 smh

the best team globally is obviously most likely geng but aside from drx and prx, the region feels a bit weaker than emea and americas when talking about every franchised team. not that emea and americas don't have any stinkers, but the majority of their teams would probably still beat the majority of pacific teams.

genuinely could've been a 3-0 for drx. losing 2 maps in ot back-to-back after dominating the first map is just rough ngl.

this is just part of live "sporting events" in general and adds to much of the storylines in a way that many find appealing. even if this was a problem, I don't think it's something that can be fixed.

just a poor performance from sen tbh, g2 were consistently playing better as individuals and as a team. sen made too many mistakes especially on bind. hope they can sort it out before playoffs

switching out not just players but your igl with only 2 matches left before playoffs feels really bad to me, especially considering their record and the fact that they were already favoured against C9.

no lol, it's just a place in South Aus that they play for

"Stop. Comparing. Me. To. Derke."

fpx have definitely been making some sloppy plays as of late but they may just "guy diff" ag

he's also the only one with any real social media "presence" on that roster, he's easily the biggest reason behind their current success both in terms of results and attention from the greater community.
