Check kaajak for me rq

Stop complaining bro we will release another 50 dollar skin bundle with no upgrades, your being ungrateful to our small indie company devs

Cannot understate how legendary that loud optic rivalry was though, 2 teams from 2 different regions meeting in 2 grand finals in the same year. We had crazy moments like Aspas teamkilling in a round 1 elim match in Copenhagen on match point, less dropping 33 in icebox in their first match, sacy dropping 35 in one map in grand finals, so much crazy stuff. I do agree that in terms of actual quality 2023 was more stacked

Will be interesting to see fnc off tejo as well, might be a slightly role conflict between crashies and chron as well, since they got to play tejo/breach, but now one of them will have to be off of sova/fade

I think Kaajak should be fine, dude just got a bad reputation off that one grand finals choke. I’m more worried about chron and especially Alfa being a bit hot and cold.

Can’t wait. I actually think kaajak is low key the best player itw at the moment, I hope he gets to truly shine at Toronto.

The fpx DRX optic and loud games at that tourney are all legendary, each and everyone
Still probably my favorite champs, though champs 2023 comes very close

They had a couple other maps (started 6-0 on breeze vs loud, started 5-0 and 6-0 vs fpx at Copenhagen ) and almost choked a couple other maps as well (10-2 vs loud and 10-2 liquid at champs ending like 13-10, 11-3 vs loud ending 14-12 at Reykjavik ). They threw a lot of leads tbh, which was a bit of a weakness for them. But I agree they did a fantastic job adapting to new metas and maps so they would probably still be good.

For a singular year they were the most dominant team other than fnatic 2023
They won the first lan, got 3rd place at the 2nd lan, and 2nd place at champs. Not only that, but until upper finals at Copenhagen and champions they looked like the team to beat at both tourneys. They also had the most dominant player in the world and 3 other players were arguably the best in their role that year

Without the tejo meta geng look so strong. Tejo meta likely encouraged more exec heavy attack and less retake heavy defense (due to postplant) and geng have a slower attack side and good retakes, so they are really good rn

Are they the best pistol round team? They win double pistols so much, undoubtedly one of their greatest strengths and a very underappreciated thing to have
Pistols come down to aim a lot more than other rounds, it feels like one of those things you either got it or you don’t

Their casting yesterday was absolutely phenomenal
I think their super underrated, I also think they’ve improved slightly
I have them on par with Bren and sideshow

They did have flaws though. They relied very heavily on yay being uberconsistent, and they did choke a lot of leads and match points. They had several strengths (victor neon and yay chamber (+consistency), strong fracture and then strong bind) but they relied extremely heavily on these strengths. At times like champs uf and gf and in Copenhagen you could see what happened when it didn’t work.

They also had slightly questionable mental at times (champs gf, Copenhagen uf/lf, even Reykjavik upper finals)

Geng has a chance if they don’t add new agents. The current meta and 2024 meta suits them better than every other team basically, but tejo really fucked them over. They have the best trading and spacing off most teams, have great map pool and good defaults, and they are really good with pistols on nearly every map.

Agreed. Plus victor is very underrated; he allowed marved and yay to kinda bait and lurk a lot more and allowed marved and fns to mostly stick to their comfort roles in double/triple initiator metas and yay to one trick chamber. Kinda the glue that held the team together.

I’d agree. If yay gets to play on prime chamber (prime optic kinda equals prime chamber) they could compete for a trophy because it’s helps having a guy who basically never goes negative and goes +25 every other game

Prime optic onetricking chamber with prime marved lurks, prime fns calling, and prime crashies clutching would still be good. I doubt they would win a chip but they created neon and chamber meta, adapted to fade meta quickly, and was one of the first teams to figure out pearl. People are underestimating them

Such a great casting duo, I feel like they get less appreciation than panpoc and brenshow but their hype casting and overall casting is really good. They have less iconic moments but their average casting is really engaging

Hello Mr Yukky may I see my card please 🙏

I actually believe that individually sato will be slightly better than canezerra when they both transition to tier 1 but can’t prove that hypothesis until it happens
Just a few things I see from their agent pool and gameplay

I do too and I’m rooting for his resurgence. I still respect tenz and his right to be washed now that he longer gives a fuck about valo 😂

If yay has a resurgence and wins a trophy, absolutely
Otherwise idk what the fuck ur talking about
Individually yays peak was higher than tenz, but tenz’s floor was way higher than yays and he actually had a resurgence

Tenz is giga washed rn and that’s okay
He clearly doesn’t enjoy playing valorant competitively (or at all to a degree) and he should be free to be as shit as he likes

Stats from recent games could also be inflated due to 2 things;
He could have a hot streak of games where he performs well (doesn’t show consistency over time)
And 2; envy are way better than other tier 2 teams. They can setup cane better than other teams, make the round winning call or put him in better positions than other teams, win rounds boosting economy and always allowing cane to have a rifle/op money. This is why a player like avova had great stats on apeks when they were on a streak in tier2 but struggled in tier1 when everything is more competitive.

Looking at all time rating. Don’t want to look at very recent rating since it’s a small sample size and envy is clearly better than other t2 teams (which his future t1 team won’t be)

However, all time stats don’t account for the fact that he has improved recently clearly

With all due respect OXY is worse than Zekken in every way
There both inconsistent with high peaks but Zekken has higher peaks and is more consistent, not to mention mor versatile as well
Not sure why Zekken would leave sen and why he’d be dropped

It’s 1.09 for raze and 1.13 Jett, 1.12 neon and 1.04 yoru. And there’s a pretty massive gap between tier1 and tier2, you gotta be averaging 1.2+rating to be an above avg t1 duelist (using mada as an example)

But I’d agree for sure that he’s gotten way better

Looking at ranked and his previous match history in t2/t3, he’s not good at them either comparatively, even in tier2
He has however improved a lot recently so maybe he’s gotten better at those agents as well

Getting rid of som for ion2x and Ethan for fucking poppin is pretty dumb Ngl

Penny is actually pretty handsome
Not as glorious as my king nats but he’s certainly quite attractive if you can overlook the fr*nch in him

It should be worth noting that we haven’t seen him play raze neon or yoru recently
Overall, iso is his strongest duelist. Being forced off his comfort agent when he plays duelist in tier 1 will lead to a drop off in performance. Not to mention aggressive player tend to struggle more against higher level competition.

He’s very good, but he’s replacing the wrong role and has not igled in the past as far as Ik

This is a pretty shit bait even for your standards XineFaso

How many regional trophies does bro have
Even when fnc were inconsistent internationally they’ve always dominated Emea

That’s what happens when you go from apeks to fnatic

Kaajak is so versatile, there’s not one player whose as good as he is at neon yoru raze and Jett

Most other duelists have one or two duelists they aren’t as good at or won’t play

“They have never done well internationally”, as if they didn’t get a 3rd place and a 2nd place

They almost lost to EG and 100t but they also beat sentinels and mibr, Americas 2 and 3

Was accused of rape and abuse by an ex gf

Watching porn in a relationship is definitely weird.

Watching porn in a relationship is a bit weird, some people could class it as cheating. Regardless, nothing he did was anywhere near as bad as what the people he was being compared to are accused of.

What happened to less man my goat fell off :(

Sex workers can get SAed, you know?

Yes, she would be trans and a lesbian. One is a gender, the other is a sexuality (not to be confused with sex).

Bro stop hating on ardiis bro like why you being mean bro. Bro it’s just the way he talks bro there’s nothing wrong with it bro

There’s no point, people don’t understand your logic and have an agenda to push, you won’t make them see their own hypocrisy. Try saying this again once people cool down a bit, right now they think ur supporting flor for some reason.

If you don’t give a fuck that your partner doesn’t want to have sex and insist until they eventually give in, that doesn’t count as consent and that’s means it’s rape.

For something to be classed as consent, it has to be willing consent. For an example, putting a gun to someone’s head and forcing them to agree to something doesn’t count as consent.

Fucking hell yay was right NA drama really does gap the other regions

Iirc they were in a relationship, she wasn’t comfortable with having sex but just wanted to hangout/cuddle

UMMMMMM bro
If u force someone to consent after they repeatedly said no despite them fucking bleeding how is that not rape

Bugging someone until they change their mind is NOT CONSENT

What the fuck

I see people talking about how bad Sinatraa flor kamo Keznit and Mazino are, like what the fucks a polar bear doing in Arlington Texas

Poor dude, he’s a bit of a weirdo but there are so many twitter and vlr threads comparing him to alleged rapists, pedos, and racists and all bro did was jerk it to widowmaker
