Why is he more boring than astra omen or brim? They are even less creative and interesting than him
Even harbor viper isn’t really boring other than on pearl, which is a map design issue as opposed to an agent problem

I want harbor to get buffed, I think he’s the controller with the most skill required, so I don’t think him being strong is that bad
I don’t think harbor viper will be meta either because there isn’t really a skye initiator rn (good recon and flash init)

Isn’t this literally her first bad series in tier1?

You often see them pop off one map and cooldown the next, also from series to series

They have a lot of talented players, but avez marteen and elite are inconsistent. They tend to have very high highs and very low lows. I think KC can beat any team or lose to any team depending on if the individuals are feeling it.

I like his take but keep in mind a lot of the agents are where they are in the meta because of rechargeable utility. The same way skye left the meta after getting rechargeable flashes nerfed would mean that removing such util all together would make some agents really weak and others really op, meaning you’d need a lot of balancing and reworks to follow

Demon1 ends stage 1 with less than 0.94 KD
G2 make it within one game of Toronto and then choke and fail to qualify
Mibr make Toronto flawlessly
Nrg make a roster change mid split

Invy and jemkin should be possible pickups for them next year if they can afford them

English I believe, from the snippets I caught, probably switched to Portuguese in clutch scenarios

Aspas Cortezia and verno about to pull an Aspas less and pancada hopefully

Prx have a reputation for throwing but when u get down to it it’s really something and jinggg who are throwing like 75% of the time

I’m not trying to flame him btw he can finally rest his back, I’m just saying it’s a good sign that he doesn’t need to do superhuman shit to win

Aspas bottom fragging and mibr winning 2-0, mibr are soooo back
Haven’t seen Aspas bottom frag since being on loud, and you know what that means

Wow wtf they heard my prayer

I think omens better cause the flash gets a lot of value on both heavens and for execs, and since ur playing double smokes usually the extra smokes from Astra aren’t that useful

I wanted him on raze but I’ll settle 😢

Lot of the old guard getting sonned recently, Izzy, leon, rob, Colby all getting finished, usman not fighting for years in end etc

What are we even on about bro

More power and explosiveness maybe but definitely not in terms of technique
Jdm’s boxing in the pocket and combinations are insane

JDM would like to have a word w you
How do u think that fight goes? I think JDM rd 3 ko

Nah it’s just funny that he’s sonning the WW division 😂😂😂😂

UFC actually turning into wwe
Ulberg the rising prospect and Jan is the old vet almost retired so they robbed him to make sure he can’t make a title run again

Is Belal the goat or the goat 😂😂😂😂

Mibr cause I cannot bear to see Aspas get dragged down by his teammates, I need verno to be the equivalent of less

Belal might actually be the GOAT
Hands like canelo

The day kingg gets off igl is the day he mvps the next 2 intl events, my goat is being held back

Ah yeah I’m tripping I forgot he’s in mibr and not lev

The sad thing was the players on that team were also goats at their roles or at least in Americas
It’s like if NA lost Zekken/jawgemo, Trent, leaf, and valyn/boostio, we would be in a rough place too

Ah
Why’s he playing in t2? He’s definitely better than havoc and maybe Silentz as well

Maybe, but tuyz is having a rough time and Vinny’s calling is a little Sus
I think once luk xo joins they will be in a good place

Lost the best duelist in Americas, the best sentinel in Americas, the best igl in Americas, the best initiator left for NA and then retired, ghoul and sato aren’t 18 yet, man they got fuuuuucked

He couldn’t get kills but he did play very smart and disciplined so idm

Easily has potential to be the best smokes player in the world but he’s retiring with fns at the end of this year sadly 😭

Obviously sr as a team aren’t tier 2 ready, but flor was getting stomped in challengers too because her team wasn’t good enough, and she is one of the better tier 1 duelist atm
As an individual they are good enough to get a spot imo

Idk if any of them franchise level yet but I’d like to see dodonut, sarahfrags, and vania in challengers low key

They’d prolly get paid way less tho so it’s not worth it, but I think individually they are at that level already

It is low key funny because you know that there isn’t a chance in hell any other fan base is supporting/hating on their players like sen fans are

I’ve spent too much time defending zellsis after pushing the whole zellsis is a hypocrite who pretends to be an SJW narrative for like a year straight
I don’t like this anymore
Will be there for the #SENDOWNFALL, cancel them all and free Zekken

Thank you for the reply, especially sharing ur perspective as someone who the word is used as a slur against
I definitely agree that it’s not a word that should be super commonly used, I was just curious why it gets the same stigma as the n word or the f slur compared to words like bitch or pussy, which you did a good job explaining

Yeah, I can definitely see your point

Surely the implications are the same though? They were both originally quite offensive but now days are only used between friends for the best part, what differentiates it as a slur?

What about the phrase, this player has issues, or this player is fucked in the head, both of which are commonly used by streamers?

Yeah, it’s something called hindsight
Who even cares brotha you can ignore it if it’s really annoying you

Part of it is in certain European languages I don’t think the translation for retard has the same connotation, it probably just translation to extremely fucking stupid rather than mentally disabled

Cause I felt like it tbh. wtf am I gonna do post on twitter? Idk maybe some vlr users might disagree and it would be an interesting discussion

VLR’s probably not the best place to post this since a lot of people might agree and I kinda want to hear the opposite position

I want this to be an actual discussion, but why is retard considered an ableist slur? The words stupid, idiot, and moron were once medical terms for certain ranges of IQ now considered derogatory, the word bitch has misogynistic meaning and was arguably used a slur, the phrase playing like a pussy also has stereotypical or misogynistic implications.

Why draw the line at retard? Now days it’s mostly just used as a stronger way to say stupid, I think the word has evolved to be relatively harmless. Ofc, using retard to insult someone whose actually mentally disabled should be unacceptable.

Who is more knowledgeable on valo? Twitter mfs or vlr mfs? Imma have to go wit vlr Ngl

Clown9 have no idea what they are doing, get those bums net and Xeppaa out of there

People aren’t talking about him enough Ngl, he just played the best tournament of his career and was t1s best player, literally plays like every role in the game and was good on all of them

Last year I really doubted him and wasn’t sure if he should be in tier 1 but instead he wins a trophy with t1!

If mako retires without a trophy imma kms

Vitality kicked cender left kicks and made Sayf call 😂
