and also who the hell did he face in trials? I know for sure those opponents he faced are not on par with players of NS, TLN, ZETA, etc. Why would they take a gamble with an inexperienced player instead of searching for others who are proven to be able to face and even win against Ascension-level teams. There are plenty from SG, ID, and also better ones from PH.

yeah I had more or less the same idea. But the problem is even if he had great stats, his experience before being signed to GE was limited to playing against Tier 2 Filipino teams at best (such as NAOS, OAS, ZOL), which he never won against. The jump from that to playing against the best of the best from Korea, Japan, Indonesia, Thailand, surely would be too overwhelming.
Putting young talent such as him straight to international level matches without prior experience is not the best way of developing them, plus it is a sure way of increasing your team's losses.

taking a look at each player's history, why did GE pick him of all people to sign?
At least Kr1stal won Ascension and UdoTan lost in the finals against him, I guess Papi and kellyS were in the Philippines finals. But patrickWHO ??
In no world would I take a look at his history and accolades and say, "Yep. He can play in Tier 1 valorant"
So did GE run out of money or does he have connections

Imma be fr here, some viewers (and sometimes myself), are only there to watch the pros play and judge them based on the expectations of being a pro player. Meaning, whenever they hit nice shots or make a nice synchronized team play we will react amazed and give them the props they deserve, but also whenever they go on a stinker -- say for example a player goes -12 k/d and makes blunders all game -- we will flame and laugh at them.
So the problem is, in sliggytv's chat room you can hardly say "it's unfair they're playing 4v5" or "[former player] left the team for this?" or if the team is uncoordinated "This looks like gameplay of my daily ranked team". Which is just too damn soft because those messages are for us to laugh with/laugh at, not to be believed or taken seriously.
To only entertain one side of the viewing experience (glazing) and completely restrict the other (flaming) ruins the whole vibe for many people. Think of it the same way that a person seems more down to earth if they can laugh at their own mistakes.

golden state warriors vs cleveland cavaliers christmas of 2016

they're against T1 and DRX🥀😭stop it
if they both win I might as well quit the internet for a year or two

it's pretty much the same as with any sport, really. You can't judge which teams are better than others from the first week of play, got to wait until near the end of the season for the standings to be accurate.
That being said, imo it's safe to say that now after RRQ and TALON built their chemistry with the new roster they seem like a contender for top 3 in pacific together with GEN and BME

It was also quite odd that they showed the death povs on the replay whenever primmie gets multi-kills. Maybe it's intentional? I haven't got a clue

finally someone says it. I was confused seeing Team Secret and TALON have an import coach while the whole team is speaking their own language. Wouldn't the coach be unable to know whether or not the team comms are good? or maybe if they are getting tilted and such

Richard Soop must be blackmailing John Riot for them to be doing this 🥀💔

in my opinion it's likely they get 2-0'd but like in a 13-10, 13-11, or an overtime fashion

no they likely won't put any russians in the roster
maybe if team spirit or smth comes to valorant

??? the effective kill range of the shorty is SUPER short and like 85% of the map is medium to long range
it's not that the game isn't balanced, but the players are just playing them in the most optimal way (i.e. in super close corridors and near-sight brim smokes) of course they get rewarded with kills otherwise the gun would be absolutely useless

he saw people underrating his mate Famouz and let him take the spotlight for some maps
no joke tho this squad is pretty solid 🔥

but they have russian tank jemkin and rookie of the year kushy though🥀

I'm thinking the same thing 🤣 goat9 doesn't even need to show up for prx 💀☠️

at this point who knows maybe he can have a glow up like t3xture when he transferred from GE to GENG and then suddenly Estrella becomes an igl as good as stax

MOUZ signs all of FUT esports
or (a little far because there is no val team right now but) maybe if HEROIC signs all of KRU esports

the goat debate must be over right?
lebron won his 12th championship and broke bill russell's record!

.

pretty sure that's the job of the manager of each team and not the coach, and I think PRX's manager jdfaker just left the team so apparently there is noone to assign an assistant coach for the team or make changes to the roster

rIght! I'm not into hookup culture or anything weird but for that first case I could imagine juv3nile seeing such a post with the caption "need this" telling him that the person was also a degenerate, therefore he thought that his dm wouldn't be taken seriously.
I do think someone like him 100% deserves to not only be suspended but be fired because of his sick mind and personality. But this one case is just ridiculous because in my opinion both him, and the girl he messaged are filthy and chronically online. Only difference was he actually had a job/status that required him to have a clean digital history 🤣😂

100T, BOOM, TEC, and M8 if Click gets his shit together

where is mwzera

??? wdym bro 123 is a goated🐐 1 in a billion super creative name

came from overwatch to dota to val
now he gotta move to the next big thing man which is marvel rivals esports!!

a case opened him after this 😂💀☠️🤣😭

senzu drops 60 on a good day

but who is glazing patrickWHO tho? 😂🤣 dude was straight ass and has the worst decision making/game sense I've ever seen in a tier 1 player. It's such a pain to see him play -- if you could even say that

good lawd free odds 3.81 for boom 🤑🤑💸 everyone bet your house on boom right noww!!1!

f0rsakeN deserves better man he has consistently been performing well since PRX shiba
sad to see the team go like this but I guess it's a natural law that every team has their peaks and pitfalls. After their prime has passed, a team has to let players go and rebuild. For a while, it has felt like other teams are making big moves but PRX stays stagnant. I think it's time for change

boom might win if all 3 maps are bind

I replay the whole half-life or portal series when bored
have done it 13 times now, they'll forever be classic masterpieces

G2, Mewtwo, R2-D2, it dont matter.
T1 in 5 🖐️

nahhh edward gaming, squidward gaming, forward and backward gaming. It's edward's bedtime. T1 in 4 🤚

local uncle reported crashing out over disappointment of competitive video game teams

well it depends what makes watching a scene enjoyable for you.
For me it's rooting for improving teams and new/revamped teams, and pacific has several exciting teams like DRX and RRQ whose new pickup exceeded my initial expectations. For EMEA it'd be gentle mates and vitality, Americas I am delighted with G2's current form + rooting for EG, and my favorites for China were TE and XLG. So each region has their own sort of cool narratives which personally never makes me bored

fans want an upgrade to who they think is their team's weakest link. I also don't like this behavior, but I guess it happens all the time because viewers either overreact over losses, or it's because they have seen that one player make too many mistakes and had enough of it

it's more like a tight gap between the mid and top teams. No matter how washed they are, I imagine PRX won't have any problems against bottom teams

kyousuke

🔥 bronze and silver games >>>

I had the same idea! If they ever split the scenes it'd probably be like apex legends. But that might cause a huge imbalance because north becomes super stacked so idk

They're the most unlucky and funniest team I've ever watched
but fr tho 2 years ago they had a bad roster, then last year they fixed it and got to the playoffs for the first time but met geng in a single elim, now their new player is a damn monster rookie. So I think they'll get up there slowly, bit by bit.

^_^

Not everyone is a bandwagon, okay. If people only supported teams after they show great results, mid to low bracket teams would have zero fans and be out of business. RRQ just made a great change in picking up Kushy, and there is no problem in expecting improvement of the team

no way I stop watching cs for 2 weeks and this is how I find out spinx is free agent

True, it's not really a rivalry, but since 2023 it has ALWAYS been Gen.G who eliminates RRQ from the PAC league. So RRQ fans are very familiar with this match-up and sort of want to take revenge

stats wise he's sort of like Jemkin but in the german league (can farm kills like crazy in Tier 3)
so that might be one good indicator

All Gamers
Detonation FocusMe
Cloud9
(EMEA teams still scrambling so idk) Maybe NAVI

oh yeah forgot about ice I count him as CN in my mind somehow
he's definitely the SEA goat
