there are orgs that don't give a fuck about bad pr

i wouldn't be surprised if we he see him competing next yr

on the bright side we’ll probably get to see him terrorize na ranked valorant on the side

who said someone needs to be jailed for me for me to dislike them? world isn't black or white :)

won't be supporting envy going forward if that change actually happens, sad

it would, but it would also be a convenient stepping stone to joining a top team

way too late to back out, he signed the agreement before champs even began

everyone knows patiphan is going to overwatch, but something interesting is that the owner of LA Gladiators, the team he's joining, also owns newly minted NA team The Guard.

crackpot theory but there is a miniscule chance that after his stint in overwatch they transfer him over to the valorant division in NA

Trying to milk both the europeans and the brazilians at the same time, hidden tech

mirage pog

sacy -- obvious choice, vikings have no future with their current roster and i can easily see an na roster drop a bag for him, fluent in english and a top sova player

lakia -- super skilled player that probably wants out by now, stuck on a 6 man roster where he plays 1 map a tournament. everyone knows he's good, only question mark is if he has any desire to go overseas. may end up playing in japan scene next circuit according to rumors

patiphan -- i know he's going to OWL but it's only for a more solid stable income, if an na org offers him a fat check after his stint with gladiators it's possible

davidp -- dont rate him that highly but considering giants is dead in the water i wouldn't be surprised if he comes over for some $$$

something -- demonic free agent duelist that terrorized the japanese scene. he has very little name value so could probably get picked up for way less than any other player on this list, and has been playing a LOT of na ranked in his spare time (might be trying to get his name out?)

munchkin -- i know crazy racoon are a meme but i believe this guy can be a beast if he just has better teammates around him. fluent in english, has played every role professionally, lots of lan experience as OW pro, and has expressed desire to play in NA. enormous potential with the right amount of support

valorant is too easy for him, he’s leaving for a harder game

we do a little bit of trolling

All good

they still aren't doing anything wrong lol, saying "VS can make a deep run and potentially win it all" isn't some offensive statement

like let em hype their teams before the event, what's the point of going "ah... well hope they have fun... not gonna win anyways..."

pretty optimistic for the korean scene come 2022. they've shown a lot with such a small playerbase and i'm looking forward to the teams that come out of the rumored changes in the scene. would love to see players like lakia, seoldam, etc get their time to shine

don't really get it, why would you want people to stop hyping up teams that represent them lol. vs are the best asian team and it's nice that the asian community have a team to root for, unlike in cs

Great observation

it's possible if vanity/mitch stay at this level, everyone on C9 needs to be playing at top form in order to contest liquid's firepower

definitely not impossible though

man why do you hate vs so much lmfao nonstop commenting

realistically he'll probably either find a new team or actually join the starting roster by next tournament. huge changes gonna come to korean scene in the next few months

was a good game tho. c9 breeze is so unorthodox

might just be losing to the eventual winners in quarters again

hope they prove me wrong but liquid look impenetrable rn

they could also just lose to c9 lol

you can hate him but in the end you don’t lose a game because of one player kek

this might be the craziest day of professional valorant history holy shit

insanity

just delete your account man this public humiliation isn't worth it

there is more to igling than making calls/strats and fragging

if you lack the charisma and social ability to lead properly your team will falter, envy have a good system with players that synergize well. you don’t alter that for no reason

hard to call players that have never competed at international stage the best

for me especially because i rate eeiu super high but nrg sucks so much ass... i cant even mention him here

really dope match, if bind wasn't a stomp would probably be one of the best comp series of all time

duelist - asuna
initiator - bcj
controller - gmd because nitro is out
sentinel - not much competition probably steel lol

whenever i see xeta do well i get sad about how much potential c9 korea had, happy that he’s finding success in his own path now though

as a pro your obligation is to put yourself in peak form for every match, for some players spamming ranked does more harm than good for them. as such it would actually be appropriate for them to balance their playtime instead of mindlessly grinding the game at all times

his kit has no character and it’s really sad, other characters have basically stolen his entire identity. he was made to be the “self sufficient, entry duelist that can heal himself” but slowly other agents were added that just do everything he can, but better (reyna, skye, kayo)

think he would benefit from a rework more than brimstone or even yoru, who sucks but at least has a unique identity

i have never seen a team get eco'd this many times in one series

demon of a player

yeah, it's language barrier causing people involved to take things way more offensively than they should be. sucks

you don't respond to someone's tweet with a meme they can't understand

and when they respond back "being all serious" be like bro why you starting shit man

there are no rules, but you cant take moral highground when anyone in shahzams position that doesnt speak portuguese would liegit think the same thing

Obviously I want most/all regions to have representation on the world stage, but there are definitely better ways to go about doing this. I think it would be interesting if Riot considered a play-in stage as part of the main event, similar to lol worlds, where the lower seeded teams/regions can compete within a intermediate lan event almost. For example, it would be super interesting to see teams like Australs, Northeption, DWG, competing against Guild, Alliance, XSET, Rise etc. as a final qualifier into the main tournament. Unfortunately with the current setup these types of matchups are effectively never going to happen because the only international events are the absolute eschelon of the competition.

eh their talent distribution is just a little skewed, like look at CR and it's very obvious that players like Ade or Fisker are just mechanically outclassed by the others

i think the new Zeta will be quite strong though, they picked up some very solid talents that are individually capable

Lmao you actually think prize winnings are where these esports players make their money? it's not even a drop in the bucket

benefit is if you lose against a team, you can easily analyze your mistakes against them and how they were punished. obviously sen will prepare as well but fur have good resources to study

do they realize that zellsis used an actual slur against a riot official, and zombs just called a scene trash?

there's no point being ashamed because of the bad apples lol. in your position it would def suck because people generalize the whole community when talking about these issues out of convenience, so it feels like you're getting wrapped up in the whole argument

either way you have nothing to feel shameful or guilty about, every community has shitheads like this

i mean this is part of the issue no, i guess brazilian fans naturally have their identity tied so deeply with their country that if you mock their scene in a fucking video game it gets understood as an attack on their country and everything they stand for

kinda sussy

people still being upset at leaf, who was literally just a 16 year old kid who did nothing wrong, is so fucking weird to me lmfao

LMFAO i thought this was a fake account at first

welp not like he would say this unprovoked, but now it's just going go down a long rabbit hole of "you started it" "no you started it"

i am here with popcorn

unfortunately i think c9b prefers to play teams with a play style like full sense, but if they have monstrous individual performances i can see a world where they upset

is his username inspired by shox from csgo or unrelated? anyone know

probably covid cases spiking and causing them to stay in quarantine until the end of december, missing the holidays with their families

nice statement from the pimp of all the pimps and bitches
