NRG not winning pistols works in favor of your argument

Might not have even gone to OT if they’d won 1/2 or both

Free agency = ‘kicked’

They can still re-sign him if they’d like, just depends if other orgs want to sign him more

It’s mostly because of where they are. Too costly to do a lot of things in LA.

Bullshit. He’ll retire for all of 6 months and realize he went pro at age 16, and will have to figure out how he’s gonna make money for the rest of his life. He’ll play til he’s actually not good enough anymore.

Wasn’t he just a stand-in for them att? If he hadn’t gotten to play for them as a sub, he probably wouldn’t have gotten the offer to join TL

Depends which Xeppaa / v1c we get today

They’ve honestly looked just as good with babybay these past few matches. G2 2-1

Tf?

Easily more consistent than T1 and DRX tbh, idk why they signed Lakia in place of ash though tbh

Nah, team secret is worse, pacific as a whole is just better than anericas

I think he’s just referring to the 9-3 curse meme, not Gentle M8s.

I feel like he’s more underrated than overrated.

He’s easily their 2nd best player after leaf.

If people said the same about jawgemo, I’d be more inclined to agree.

Downvoted for truth.

A surprising amount of Korean players were in cs before Val came out.

Stax was probably the best CS player that came to Val from the KR scene, and then f0rsaken was super young but really hyped up because he was nuts + xccurate’s brother

Apply for a position at riot before they steal this million dollar idea

I feel like it’s so easy to fall off as a duelist.

Like, demon1? Washed. Yay? Mostly washed.

It’s simply Aspas’ time.

Derke is the goat if you’re looking at individual consistency + accolades.

I think the constant shuffling of a 5th player where the other 4 are in perfect roles will bite them in the ass. They just need to make a decision and stick with it. Other teams that have kept the same rosters throughout the season have improved for the most part.

Seriously though.

Still, it’s promising that they can get to those scorelines. I think they’ll become better at closing out games with time.

It sucks because they’ll probably end up making changes again after champs, and they’ll probably put a worse team together.

I remember watching this with one of my buddies after grinding cyberpunk.

Honestly brings the whole night city mindset to reality. The characters from the show feels like how it should’ve been to play.

It’s as much as Ethan as it is on s0m not being a good sentinel, and other players helping him w/ the coms.

I definitely like Loud more here though. They’ve got as much firepower, if not more.

Still killed 3, just had no one to fight w/ him.

Adverso is dogshit tho holyyyyyyy

Nitr0 tried IGLing on Jett when him and hiko were still on 100T

Tex, Verno, but in all likelihood they promote out of cubert

Shoulda done the 100T and picked up someone from T2 instead of….a caster

IMO he’s just not the same player this current duelist meta. The best duelists can fry on neon, yoru, Jett, and raze.

KOI C0M

Spike kinda seems like a one trick pony on the neon.

Hope I’m proved wrong. Sato is the truth though.

Idk why any teams insist on taking a chance on him atp.

Pre-nerf chamber > pre-nerf Jett

Shahzam was playing pro CS for 5-7 years before entering Val, and he accumulated a decent viewership on twitch.

However ppl feel about him, can’t blame him for retiring. He’s had a longer career in esports than most, not much of it at the top, to give this perspective some credit.

Does b00 bait or does he overpeek?

Make up your mind.

Brawk is a great player, but I wanna have what NRG management were smoking when they thought ‘FNS>Verno’

We’re talking about now, not a year ago.

Demon1 and Yay at their peaks ALSO had great solo duelist games. We’re talking about MIBR with aspas at his current level.

It’s almost like ur on a forum with a bunch of <20yo’s who haven’t left their family homes, countries, or interacted with people from other places outside of the internet.

Some ‘racist’ things people say have truth within them. Immanuel Kant would say it’s best to try to find the maxim of what it is you’re looking at. The maxim that can be drawn from your point, is that people are quite capable of ignorance, making rash assumptions about surface-level details.

End of the day, you can just turn the screen off, go out and talk to people, and you’ll realize it’s quite a mixed bag.

Pretty sure he wanted him to leave, not kicked.

Jingg on raze then? Sure the agent got nerfed but he’s still basically a one trick pony as far as duelists are concerned

Can’t have it both ways.

This is why MIBR’s best maps were w/ double duelist comps

100% correct

People probably said the same about EDG this time last year tho

And chamber on ascent from alfajer, waylay on ascent from SEN

Best fax I’ve read this week

I’m really happy to see Crashies playing his best Valorant in years. I wouldn’t be upset if they won.

That aside, them or wolves would be the dark horse, most impressive winners considering their lack of experience & the team not really being together all that long. I want G2 to win, but they’re always a contender.

-alecks

Still haven’t learned the basic ascent comp that people have played for 2+ years

I don’t think FNS is a good I’ll anymore.

Very little from his time on NRG from the past year and a bit has been underwhelming, and fairly 1d for such a celebrated igl

Like with boaster I at least get it. He makes the best use out of each player, but fns on the other hand, I don’t think the same could be said

watches The Interview once

He’s probs just glazing NRG’s abyss. Buddy would’ve post matches that actually mattered if this was serious.

Are there other Russian players that have had problems?

I’m guessing whoever applied for the visas did so all at once, not taking in factors like nats being from Russia, a country that commits espionage and is currently at war with a neighbouring country. Wouldn’t surprise me if other players not having issues just applied earlier.

He’s consistently been at the top of the scene in EMEA since before franchising. As a non-duelist, that shit’s hard to do off skill and achievements.

Fr penny is yet another former pre-franchising tier 1 player that has gotten slept on throughout the past couple years

Ik you were kind to reply, but that’s kinda like saying I want to go to a private restaurant in Texas. Where at? Big gaps between Dallas, Houston, San Ant, same for any province in Canada. Each is 1.5-3x larger than the average US state

E: it’s called Amir in some place in Valleyfield. Probably Lebanese food.

Depends, I think female viewers would like the relationship they have on screen. Esp because ender is pretty androgynous.

You’d be surprised. 2g wasn’t a heavy favorite heading into last ascension tournament.

But I do also agree, that’d be a low bar.
