what's that supposed to mean?

Brax's mechanics are just so on point and so good. Problem is, his sova utility usage could use a lot of working.

most sentinel fans probably don't know much about cs history anyways

Ascent is the most balanced map and the least "gimmicky"; every map has a gimmick but the doors on ascent don't feel like a gimmick and actually adds a pretty unique (albeit great) variable to the gameplay. It isn't overly CT sided and is just a solid map all around.

I don't understand the love for bind, the teleporters and the shape of the map just sucks. Maybe its just me but I hate that map.

I thought Daps was a pretty shit igl but it turns out that removing Daps made everything 10x worse

Just believe in TSM taking Berlin home and everything is fine.....right?

Shahzam was part of the scandal but got away scotfree. He also tried fixing more and other matches (confirmed by hiko and n0thing).

Sinatraa. Hiko has done nothing that made him an outstanding sova; he might clutch but he has yet to do anything spectacular as a sova. Below sinatraa is a decent gap and I think that would leave you with players like Levi and Crashies.

I never liked Shahzam. Back in CS, he was the biggest snake and a piece of shit. So, not surprised when you mention his comments on 100t and TSM (granted, him and steel have massive beef).

Steel is arguably the smartest player in valorant. His aim is just so lackluster that it brings him down as a player.

Bro, TenZ stans are the reason why ranked is shit and full of spams in twitch chat (even more so than before). Instalock jett rates have gone from 100% --> 500% + people blindly following TenZ's tips without considering that it doesn't work for everyone.

a) Bro don't generalize tsm fans like that, not all of us are like that.
b) you really bringing down the NV fan rep

If only we didn't have obnoxious fans and didn't have people trying to put down TSM every 5 seconds, the world would be a better place...

I'd argue no.1 in NA. Everyone thought he was insane and incredibly difficult to play against. Even Shahzam thought that he was the best player in valorant.

Maybe if Coldzera transitioned to Val...Isn't he benched right now on Faze?

The difference is that Sinatraa's aim is far better and he can flex to duelist. Leviathan is great but to say he is better than sinatraa would be a decent stretch. I'd say if Sinatraa was a 10, Leviathan is like an 8.5-9. I would rate him better than Hiko and most other Sovas at the moment.

no xset?

Bro everyone was talking about ABX being tier 1 and suddenly when TSM beats them, it becomes a tier 2 team like ????

ABX is a team that Envy and fkin 100t were shitting their pants at.

you gotta respect his undying support for wardell tho lmao

The point was that there aren't many (if at all) faze fans on this forums. This post was trying to say they have bad takes but I have yet to see an actual faze fan post anything.

Wrong post...?

Challengers 3 demonstrated to the world that tier 2 NA valorant is closing in on the gap with tier 1. Ranks on this site don't mean anything

I have yet to see a Faze fan on this forums

Kind of a half decent list by you ngl

He wasn't that great a duelist when NRG first signed him

LEVIATHAN SAVED THAT LAST ROUND WTF

Man ran awp while the rest of his team was on pistols...

Post plant is annoying to play against but clutch asf when you are the ones abusing it.

Kay/O only really works on split and ascent IMO.

#TSMFTXWIN

Only physics 1 released for me the rest didn't since I took admin 3.

Did well on physics, hope I did well on the rest!

That's a fair point. Until LAN (maybe Berlin will be the first actual LAN?), it's really hard to say whos the best AWPER due to ping disparities and what not. But people counting out Acend because they didn't qualify for Iceland (at the time) and therefore cNed were complete idiots. I think that partially applies to Wardell and TSM.

But yeah, you are spot on. Can't judge till LAN.

I'm not sure why people think that if you have the best awper, you have the best team. That's a complete fallacy lol. Just look at KennyS, best awper of all time in CSGO, and his team didn't always win or remain within the top 5. They were inconsistent asf.

They faced off during First Strike qualifiers and it was really close on bind iirc https://www.vlr.gg/4550/team-solomid-vs-cloud9-blue-first-strike-north-america-nsg-open-1-sf

TSM should have closed it out 13-10 and ABX was a team that NV and 100t shit their pants against

TSM 2-0

my guy what?

TSM to Berlin

So.....man bet his entire life account on this one match and lost it all.....

Bro it was one game....

Should have been 13-10 and TSM threw that diffuse stick.

Did you see the 8 ping at all on icebox? He had 8 ping the entire time

Oh yeah, I completely forgot about that....

man was at 8 ping and abusing that

ABX was literally a team that 100t and Envy shit their pants in scrims and didn't want to play in qualifiers

There's last chance qualifier

I never expected supernova to display these words....

BRO I WON MY VALORANT GAME 20-18 TOO BROOO ITS THE ALL COMING TOGETHER

good take

bro he clutched like 4 out of 9 rounds played wtf
