this game should be decided on third map. I was sure spirit would win dust 2 and I also was sure that navi would win anubis before the veto even played out but the way they are getting stomped there's a solid chance they're full shock in anubis as well and end up choking this series 2-0
willingly choosing the fr*nch flag for yourself is definitely a choice
diehard aleksib fan but still french regardless, i'm sure you can believe that xd
zywoo has been doing that since his rookie year
their production is really good tbf
after finishing the video this actually looks fun lmao
Absolute cinema content from ESL
other dude really made a full ass discussion with both title and body "Porno" and you really called this guy a middle schooler for that innocent ahh reply
nuts, but I find the 0-52 more impressive than 255 kills lmfao
I mean obviously it isn't the platform's highest, the longest cs game recorded was over 200 rounds in yellow level, but I'm referring to challenger=> lobbies. A lot of bs happens in low elo. Oh and I'm discarding this: https://x.com/emotionlessgodd/status/2028069895418904666
150 adr and 3 aces in a pug is... something
I just came across this today:
https://x.com/fazerycs/status/2027859313901883436
which is a record donk broke yesterday for the highest kill-count recorded in a cs2 ranked, and I although it's a different game with different overtimes, it got me curious about some of the valorant known highest kill count pugs in high elo. If not just post your pb let's celebrate your lifegames.
30 now, followed by s1mple at 21 and device at 19
donk is at 10 but he's still 19

what in the motherfuck is that
s1mple put it perfectly. the awp is the easiest gun to use by definition, but it's the hardest gun to be dominant and imapctful with on the highest level.
it is easier than the operator but to do what players like zywoo do in tier S is almost unattainable
greatest ever
agendas will push you towards donk and s1mple because of "cultural impact", agendas will tell you zywoo has no aura, but he's THE greatest player to ever play cs.
hard to perform when your igl fails every single call, can't shoot back and your awper is a fraud tbf
he got robbed, he's THE best dedicated entry fragger by a landslide.
You can argue ropz stayed a fair bit behind zywoo literally the entire tournament long from the first played map rating wise and only came close because he dropped a ridiculous 2.89 in the last map. Are you rewarding consistency or an outlier?
They had the same rating indeed, and what's the best criteria to sort it out in case 2 players are seemingly equally deserving and have pretty close ratings? You check the other stats.
ZywOo edged ropz in every single statistic. More ADR, more KPRW, more impact rating and more RWS%. I would be happy either way, but let's not act like anybody was robbed.
Unironically only Astralis 2018 had arguably a better year in cs than vitality 2025.
is he wrong? mezii and flamez were rejects from fnatic and og who could barely go 1.05 in tier 2, apex is a massive firepower liability, the only established superstar they got is ropz. they have great chemistry and know when to step up. that's their main strength.
cliché answer but they had by a long shot the biggest off day of the year individually, bar ropz.
becomes more likely to happen when you've been on top for an entire season, you're tired and teams have been anti-stratting you for months in a row.
His contract is running out, I doubt the transfer fee was all that, he likely just didn't get any tier 1 offers and the "superteam potential" plans from BC Game probably sold it.
Yeah russians are different. They have a very rich culture in games, especially shooting games. These kids learn fundamentals really quick and start really young which helps a lot. Mentality is also top notch, rarely see one of these prodigies shit the bed with pressure. Kyousuke debuted this weekend, already gapping m0nesy in falcons - https://www.hltv.org/stats/teams/players/11283/falcons?event=8038
it's bizarre how it feels like donk just debuted in cs and there's already a "next donk" stone cold russian wonderchild coming straight out of the oven haha
The crazy part is that he might already be one at 18 y.o.
That will obviously be a personal take, each to his own, but with the amount of records he already broke in cs2/all-time cs records, he would be talked about for the longest time even if he retired tomorrow.
I don't think it's a hot take tbf. I think valorant util over the time is kind of transforming the genre of the game. I don't want to sound nostalgic as shit but I feel like the game peaked a few years ago before we could get all sorts of storms, animals and looney tunes shit being dumped all at the same time. Feels a bit overloaded now, being generous.
yeah im gonna have to disagree, just purely off looking at the scoreboards, that does not look nearly as impressive, but obviously still a great run from demon1 in that champs event.
when he got to 60 kills in 2 maps, the other 4 players were on their early 20s except for sh1ro with 30, which is still half, despite being the second highest rated.
crazy gap bro

As both a valorant and cs enjoyer myself, I thought it was a perfect time to do some more donk propaganda, because he's at a level any first person shooter enthusiast should absolutely appreciate, even if it's a different game.
He just scored a 3.38 rating on Nuke CT (21-3) and solo 1v9'd the comeback against Aurora doing the nastiest multi-kills back-to-back-to-back. I attached 4 clips to those. Absolute masterclass, fucking hell.

his stats this year completely dust his 2024 stats, so what's your point?
you probably got grey hair just from hatewatching vitality this year
Even your favourite valorant player probably prefers cs as an esport purely from a viewer standpoint. Humans are designed to feed off hype, and cs is by nature a way more hype game to watch than valorant in big events. Without even comparing the games gameplay wise.
He is and it will be great to see him play in front of a crowd as an audience favourite as well. We got used to him thriving in playoffs.
https://youtu.be/Ga9kpa6pIbI?t=270 timestamped to 4:30
he ranks stewie2k in his cs tenure as well, for those interested
How is calling ZywOo a goat contender recency bias when he has literally been taking turns dominating cs for the past 7 years excluding 2024 along with s1mple? Ever since this guy played an official in tier 1 back in 2018 he's been elite consistently to this date. And the statpadding bit by baiting kyojin and misutaa? At this point you may as well just admit you're a hater and move on.
I would unlock that basement and let them free.
Players of such mechanical caliber shouldn't be restricted to a game with lower skill ceiling and higher skill floor. It's unrewarding for them and they probably wouldn't stand out that much in valorant.
As an esport 10000% and I don't think this will ever change. As a game, it highly depends. If you go by faceit I could give you that, but faceit is a third party so can you really consider it? If you go by official servers one on one Val is way ahead. Valve is taking the piss.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. If you're on top of the meta, you deserve to make playoffs every time you play an S tier event. Valorant is just so rng in that regard that it almost feels non-rewarding as a competition. I don't really mind having a pool of the same 6-8 teams making playoffs in a year. Roster changes and downfalls/uprisings will probably replace 3-4 of them by the next year anyway. In Val you can take Masters and fall into irrelevancy within the next 3 months.
