respectfully, did you even read what I wrote?
yes ik what the word "different' means, do you? I completely understood that he has a different view on how the game should be played. Not that hard to understand.
"has nothing to do with... individual performance not being good enough"
kinda does, if he was fragging insanely and going +20 kills every game or something, I can guarantee you he would not have been benched.
No team will literally say that "playerX has been going negative alot, their kda is bad and therefore we're going to drop them" Instead they'll say something mushy like "Today we part ways with playerX. He has been a key foundational part of our roster since its inception. We wish nothing but success for playerX's future" blah blah blah even if everyone knows they have been individually performing poorly.
Besides that, I agree with everything else you said, since it literally supports my claims.
"if their core has a completely different view of the game and they are not really having the same vision anymore it obviously creates a problem in the team and its not bonecolds job to force his own vision on others and try to force to make it work"
couldn't have put it better myself. If you haven't noticed, I've been basically saying the exact same thing. He cannot manage to effectively have his ideas executed by the rest of the team. Yes I definitely know there is no one 'correct' way to play the game and he has his visions which are totally fine. I even said he's a good player further in this thread to another person, but he is failing to have his visions be implemented well by the team, hence his benching.
They should rebuild again in Korea since they have experience fielding a Valorant team there already :)
Bonecold's individual stats have not been up to par. Regardless of Kiles' performances, his individual performance has not been good. Moreover, Bonecold, as an igl, holds more responsibility than any other member of his team for their recent stretch of bad results. (So simply comparing individual stats is not the way to go, but even if you do, that still makes Bonecold look bad either way.)
"bonecold literally said himself that their team culture and his view of how the game should be played was getting too different from the team"
well there you go, ty for confirming my claims that he was not performing well as an igl since he wasn't able to successfully pass his messages and views on how the team should play well enough to his teammates, which is key for an igl to be able to do effectively
I would assume the reason was exactly what you just said tbh. As an individual, he was performing pretty poorly, and Acend as a team looked almost leaderless with no sense of decisiveness which they used to once have. (In defense of bonecold tho, poor performances usually end up with someone becoming a scapegoat)
OT OT OT
no :(
should I dm enigma? He responded to me once when I dm'd him a link to this this post I made a while ago along with this example pic which he responded to saying they were planning on adding it in the future.

C9 better than Guard probably
so when you get downvoted for L takes, you have some cushioning to protect yourself from losing a star :)
also I didn't get the joke, isn't that Hudsen in his pfp? It's the same guy as the one in his instagram pfp too
bro that's Hudsen, this guy is just trying to farm upvotes
uh... i can't tell if that was supposed to be sarcastic but... <3
can't they just re-schedule? we've seen plenty of rescheduled matches before
can someone fill me in on what happened?
One sided
They are favorites, but that doesn't change the fact that games have been unpredictable so far.
not really...

lmao please do leave. you lost the plot. if you remember (which you probably don't no surprise there) YOU were the one going off topic and and talking nonsense about me making alt accounts to downvote you. What a hypocrite LMAOO says I'm the one going off plot when they're the one talking about things like alt accounts with no evidence. Seems like you can't accept that the majority is against you.
LMAOO 4 downvotes + your own upvote on yourself. So now what? I made 5 accounts to upvote myself?? LMAOO this is comical. Just throwing accusations left and right without evidence.
Ahahaha someone is pissed, I'm not the one triggered you are lmao, I'm not the one lying and saying you're making accounts to upvote yourself without proof
go back and read what I wrote you liar lmao, not even a hint of shame for lying
F, I thought that was you. dw I did thoroughly read what you wrote, the failed logic was just so similar I thought it was you as well.
Regardless, doesn't change the fact I already addressed all your arguments, with evidence and numbers seen from their performances recently while you've done none of that sort. On top of that, lying and saying i'm making accounts to upvote myself. LMAOO now you got 3 downvotes?? ON TOP of you already upvoting yourself LMAOO. what are you gonna say now, I made 4 accounts to downvote you? LMAOO
yes he was good, but now, looking at stats and performances with the team having not much fluidity and them not having any success (2nd from bottom in their group), I do think he is the weakest link
wtf are you smoking? can you not read what you write?
"who tf do you think will igl then,starxo? not in 1000 years he is just not that guy,cned? yeah you can already rule that out,kiles? who has 0 igl experience and he doesnt seem like a leader personality at all,or purp0 who is literally a duelist and probably cant igl either"
word for word, you're completely dismissing everyone else without giving them a chance stupid, like seriously, read what you write
literally answered everything above, if you can't read what I'm writing, or even what you're writing yourself, just proves your incompetence
first of all you don't even need an account to upvote someone, you can still log in as a guest, but regardless of that false logic, no this is my one and only lucky account. Second of all, I noticed how I got downvoted by 2 people at one point, so the only obvious conclusion using your logic must be you have 2 accounts to upvote yourself and downvote others LMAOO.
"good job completely ignoring my other points" - you brought up no valid points whatsoever (except for claiming nobody else on the team could show leadership without even giving them a chance)
"he has gone negative in three games since winning champs" - out of 5 games, that is a lot, and one of them he didnt' even go positive (4 out of 5 games he's not gone positive, last 4 games he's gone -42 kill deferential) In 5 matches alone, that's heck of a lot if you can't tell
"The mere fact that you're judging support players with K/D tells me everything I need to know about your analysis" - I see how you conveniently decided to ignore the fact I mentioned earlier how they've been lacking incredible decisiveness as evident by their 2nd to worse result, not just K/D if you actually read what i wrote even tho it's pretty obvious u didn't
not "negative a few games"
very negative for a lot of games, in fact the least consistent fragger on the team for the duration of the teams existence with that roster
moreover what does them winning a tourney got to do now? good job to them, but now evidently things are not working out if you haven't noticed (not surprised if you didn't notice how bad they were performing recently tho)
again, proves my point, pointless rambling with no actual evidence or reasoning to back yourself up, just plain old rambling on and on completely failing to address the valid points i've been making
"why do you think teams have dedicated igls in the first place"
I can argue the same and say "why do you think teams have dedicated smokes players in the first place" "why do you think teams have dedicated duelists/entry players in the first place" "why do you think teams have dedicated sentinel players in the first place"
idk what you were trying to accomplish by stating that teams look for igls since teams need players to fill every role.
Furthermore, I've been backing up my arguments with facts and reasoning such as bonecold going -42 kill deferential in the last 4 games and the very obvious lack of shotcalling and decisiveness as proven by them failing to qualify past the group stage as the 2nd lowest team in the group. You've been just stating hypotheticals with 'nobody else can probably igl tho even if we don't give them a chance'
no
-42 kills in last 4 games, team has lacked decisiveness and shot calling recently compared to other teams
huh? you literally said nothing meaningful.
All you did was assume nobody else had shotcalling skills without giving them even a chance.
DRX 2-1
have you been living under a rock? just look at the stats, he's been a consistent bottom fragger not being able to pull his weight as much as the rest of his team, on top of what seems to be mediocre decision making and lacking decisiveness compared to other igls as of recently. He's gone -42 kill deferential in the last 4 games which is huge.
don't get me wrong. he's a good player. but if I had to choose someone to replace it would definitely be him
Is there some rule that says igl's cannot be replaced? If anything, to improve, maybe it's their igl that should change since they've seemed lackluster in their decision making.
Smoke, dash in sideways, or just dash forwards and try to snap to one side while mid dash, usually checking the more common/more difficult corner to clear as you dash. And no it is not your job to clear every corner, usually u can only usually clear one.
lmao optic even Breach ulted an empty site they got so confused
W for chickenjoe, another aspiring writer coming to fruition
lulz go watch his videos after right click nerf, still rushing into enemy teams and acing with jett knives left clicks only
Good for him, but deep down I'm a bit disappointed not to see him play competitively
Russia
(I would say kudos to Lithuania tho for producing so many top players despite their significantly smaller population)
they'll announce a coach and then tweet something cringe with the basic gist of 'our full potential is unlocked, try to play against us now'
