Well this thread hasn't aged well already

People do use shotguns on all agents though.

Neon and waylay(apart from waylay saturate) aren't really that big of problems imo, its more that they can easily abuse shotguns which are broken. I think riot needs to nerf shotguns significantly.

What is this cope, DRG and XLG got 13-0d a year ago during kickoff when s1mon was still on edg and edg was coming off of a Champs win. The difference between that edg and this one is astronomical.

TS got as many rounds in their first map against nongshim during kickoff as nova got rounds total today. This is like the one time I will say TS is better.

DRG's igl is flex1n currently

I mean shaW is also historically good at the map and it's pretty good for op'ing so I think it will be good for furia.

I would usually agree but I feel like lotus is much better than corrode for Furia, like lotus has historically probably been their best map, even last year it was the only map they played well on in the entire year. So I think it won't actually effect them too much that they lost abyss.

I have watched him save more than I think I've seen any other pro player save, like he even saved a pistol. He is essentially the biggest example of a player who's stats have been inflated because he doesn't die as much and is last alive most of the time.

A nats fan talking about a player only looking good because they are always last alive is diabolical.

I wasn't really saying he was banned, I was more saying that it was his own fault that he got blacklisted because he didn't comply with the riot investigation which kind of destroyed any chance he had at coming back compared to flor who some tier 2 or GC teams might consider picking up.

Can I be the lotus exige

I mean it was kind of his own fault that he couldn't come back, like had he just complied with the riot investigation the result probably would have been the same as with Flor.

jieni is coming back

So I'm playing lets go Pikachu rn and I feel like the game is actually very good, like I think it has a lot of problems like the difficulty being way to easy and not being able to battle and weaken wild pokemon while trying to catch them, but I feel like this game is a lot better than people made it out to be when it came out.

FUT

Never forget he lost to this KC

Rose yes, boaster no

Like obviously there's leaf who is probably the most clear example of this, but what other players are like that?

14

You never know with saadhak he could very well convince the coach and less that less should be playing harbor

Man I hate having 40 ping, the game is actually so unplayable. I need 10 ping or less to even be competitive in Silver.

Well he's been playing on E-KING

Bro was nova's best player since he joined nova and he was rewarded by being dropped and not given any other tier 1 opportunities despite being very good.

I'm so lucky that I decided to upgrade my PC last August right before all the ram, ssd's, and GPU prices went through the roof.

I think it'll just move to waylay+neon

I don't even think the word delusion is enough to describe this take

marteen isn't Russian enough for this to ever be the case

Boaster retiring

I'd say not really, its kind of outdated and is pretty heavy for a gaming mouse. You can find a much better mouse that has a better sensor, is lighter and often times is even cheaper.

Not AG and BBL per se, but I can see them beating m8's, TL, EDG, and XLG

I mean tbf with the LATAM teams can't be worse than the China teams or probably even the EMEA teams at internationals.

You implied that he would fall off by champs which just isn't true, he's only gotten better over the years and is entering his prime. If you think he'll fall off anytime in the next two years you're just coping and stupid.

If riot does end up splitting up Americas when they refranchise would Brazilians and other LATAM players count as imports for NA teams and vice versa, also since mibr and Furia have started to invest in NA players more than Brazilian players would riot consider them for NA refranchising over LATAM? Also how would international slot allotment work?

Bro looks like the best support in the world currently, like hell he'll fall off

#2 and #6

nvm I think you're right, I don't know why sheep esports wrote an article about it two days ago though

There was but it looks like they stopped it for now, probably because no one was playing it because why would you play pbe for Valorant.

I don't think so because sheep esports just made an article about it 2 days ago

Is there anyone who actually plays the Valorant PBE? Like the only PBE I really understand playing is the TFT one.

I think its one thing if you have like a power outage or your pc crashed, but in my experience the people leaving in low elo are people who got tilted and start saying that they're going to leave in the in game chat or on mic which makes it annoying that I get punished for their incompetence.

I have had two matches in the past week where there have been players who left mid match and yet Rit0 decides that doesn't qualify for an RR refund. Like seriously I shouldn't lose 20+ RR because someone else decided to leave and my team can't win 4v5 or 3v5. Like they should at least make it so you don't lose as much RR in a scenario like this.

Spare ribs

I think you mean another player sacrificed to the "family"

What was the point of even bring qraxs back?

You should swap zellsis because he won't get points for the first week since americas starts later but apart from that I'd say it looks pretty solid

He also did pretty well while subbing for Lev so I think he deserves an actual chance instead of just being every Brazilian teams emergency substitute.

Also for some reason its like he just gets assists for existing rather than actually being supportive and helping out.
