Congrats BBL

maybe OCE just sucks as a region

NBA Youngboy

speaking of SA valorant, what tf is GE doing? I always saw Indians hyping them up as the top SA team but they haven't played a match in over a month

Tenz's gf is hot too

us NA fans need to support the best NA team

I doubt the chamber nerfs will do too much to affect the chamber 1 tricks, the thing that really was broken about Chamber was the untradeable first contact and that hasn't been changed, the only thing that has changed is every duel after that

Japan is like anime but irl

I legit forgot that the team he's on was in Copenhagen lol

the roster of the top 8 from each region I think would be fine, it's not ridiculous to have 240 players and it would be way more challenging (it'lll also expose the ppl who don't actually watch other regions lol)

Imo whoever made valorant Lu should expand it to whoever made the regional challenger playoffs, basically everyone will get it if they watch valorant at a decent rate as it is now

wow this Vision Strikers team is pretty good huh

it's probably bait, no way Liquid sign a streamer to their team, that's just wasting the talent they have on the squad

so Liquid are going the Sentinels route and going full clout farming mode?

Misterrobot is the most reliable valorant news source, moreso than Leorge Leddes

his vlr page shows that he literally only played in some T3 German tournament, idk who tf that even is

she was rlly pretty ok I was just wondering

What has she done in the past bc tbh I've never seen her before, I'm assuming VRLs?

Trash vs Garbage

Fraud9 2-0 Midsion1

I'd say that there are a few, not many but a few, better than Kyrie in basketball, his handling is unmatched tho

it didn't look like pansy, pansy is blonde and white and this girl had black curly hair

I looked on liquipedia and the valorant esports website and I could only find the names of the 2 guys on the desk, what is the girl's name

the only thing that scrim results mean is that a team needs to prac more on whatever they were working on if they were getting rocked

he's just not good enough to compete with the rest of the competition, especially if he wants to stick on the duelist role

Holy shit every single time I see someone reference scrim results for why a team is good it actually pisses me off, scrims are literally just practice games, they're meant to get your reps in working on NEW stuff, good teams can still get blown tf out in a scrim because they are trying out a new comp or a new map, or maybe they're practicing their A retakes so they give up site easy and practice their retake spacing and utility. Nobody other than T3 teams who have no idea wtf they're doing plays scrims the same way they play in officials because by the time they play on officials they are already using strats they are familiar and comfortable with, while in scrims they are going to use strats that feel awkward because they are new. The only difference I can even conceive of would be scrims from teams in masters/champions tournaments, but even then they would still be practicing certain things and not playing them exactly like officials. PLEASE VLR STOP TALKING ABOUT SCRIM RESULTS

American but only learning english?

jett C tier is a bit questionable
she's still a pretty decently viable OPing agent, you just can't take stupid duels anymore, but if you have a planned hit for map control then it works well, plus her entry ability is very flexible, a lot more imo than neon and raze can entry. Neon is kind of limited by her wall bc if she doesn't stay in it the site anchor can just kill her with her gun not out, and raze is kind of just set on a fixed path that can be shot out of the air. I'd put her at a solid B tier, she's not the absolute best duelist as raze and neon have more site utility, but she's not on the niche level that yoru is

English (first language)
Spanish (barely passable, from school)
Tagalog (passing phrases/swear words from family and friends)
Mandarin (I literally only know how to say "I fucked your mom/dad")

scrims results don't matter, if they did then DRX would be the greatest team in the world and not chokers

No particular order

SEN, G2, TL, ZETA, BBL, 100T, FNC, OPTC, KRU, FAZE

edit I forgot about LOUD, maybe replace FNC or FAZE with them

why wouldn't you copy from the best, they are at the top for a reason

United States
game: 7/10
it's one of the biggest games in the pc gaming community, but casually people see like tiktok clips and that's it, a bunch of my friends don't even play pc games and have never heard of valorant
esports: 9/10
Healthy amount of orgs in the scene, huge viewership and talented players, the only problem I see is the behind the scenes practice stuff not being on the level of EMEA

I feel like people have very mixed opinions about NRG, some have them very high, others really low

nobody's saying he has to compete with Marved, he just has to do his job and do it decently

lakia

scream bald would really throw me off with his majestic head of hair

they should bring back the whole C9 csgo team, we already have ska and auti playing val and n0thing is just a streamer, the only one left is Stewie

based decision

ORDER to champions lmfaooooo

SEN vs G2 in playoffs would def get that

we're gonna need way more agents, because if someone bans something like jett and raze or sova and fade, then you lose an entire niche that is crucial to the pro game that can't really be worked around

Masters CPH actually had the lowest peak and average viewership between all 5 of the international LANs, it had about 30,000 less peak viewers and 80,000 less average viewers than the second to last, masters Berlin

edit: tbh, I wouldn't really think much of this, I think the numbers only being slightly worse than masters Berlin is pretty good considering that there wasn't a single "clout team" other than maybe Optic or KRU in the event, this signals to me that there is quite a large audience that doesn't care for the teams involved but just want to watch high level valorant

this is facts

TenZ has more twitch, tiktok, and twitter followers. Therefore he's better

Actually good nerfs, maybe also reduce headhunter to 6 bullets to keep it in line with the deagle?

I usually just hover Jett until someone instalocks her and then I go to one of my other picks. Tbh for most agents you really only need some decent understanding of game sense to properly use their util, like when I picked up fade I never looked up a single lineup video, I just read about her abilities and threw them whenever it felt necessary. Same with raze, I never practice my double satchel stuff or my raze boombot lineups but I just wing it and do my job

there should never be playoff byes imo

nah I'm G1 lol I'm inconsistent ash

it's actually criminal that G2 hasn't won a major with how much talent they have on that roster

G1
