What's even crazier is that he dedicated himself to one of the least profitable e-sport genres in Korea.

Bro was thugging it out as a CS player in a country that had little infrastructure for it.

Everyone come for free money

wdym that's his former username

Gen.G I heccin love s3xture

tbf there aren't really any bad Omen maps but yea the tps are gonna go insane

From my first impression the map's main feature is its verticality and open space

Duelist: Jett

• The map is vertical which is Jett's whole thing
• Jett dashes and updraft allow her to traverse across all the death falls
• HM: Neon (Some super close corners that seem easy to stun + neon gets new buffs now)

Initiator: Sova

• Drone benefits from verticality and doesn't risk falling off the map
• HM: Breach/KAYO (Also doesn't have utility that can fall off the map)

Sentinel: Cypher

• None of the other sentinel players can do much when the enemy is jumping over your setup
• HM: Sage (Grimm walls will probably happen here)

Controller: Viper

• I would imagine the walls help isolate the upper/lower angles
• HM: Harbor for the same reason or Omen because he's the most versatile controller

Meta comp will be those four + one of the HM agents

EDIT: HM will probably be Breach I just realized he can ult people off the map

how long until we see someone miss the ledge jump in vct

also how would sage resurrections even work

Ascension teams as in the ones who won last year or the ones currently in challengers?

I think it has to be Jawgemo's ace vs NRG no?

MiBr knife:

• Took 100T out of playoff contention, allowed EG to scrape by into playoffs
• EG goes on a run in Americas and qualifies for Tokyo
• EG got second at the event

Jawgemo ace:

• Took NRG out of playoff contention, allowed G2 to scrape by into playoffs
• G2 goes on a run in Americas and qualifies for Shanghai
• G2 are now top 3 at the event

Cooking or nah

I find if I work on stuff I have a personal interest in (Video editing, keyboard building, photography) then I forget about whatever is making me sad or stressed.

Video games do not count, that tends to frustrate more than destress.

Even if it did it would be too much work for a system that was already pretty good regionally

cooked up a 5 star meal with this one

ok i think neT's revenge arc gotta stay back for a bit

That would be a logistical nightmare, especially since it's Tier 2 and Riot doesn't put much financial investment there.

Also Split 1 isn't entirely unimportant; doing well grants you an automatic spot on Split 2. It's even more important if there's a point system involved.

neT and BcJ out for bodies

he's already top 4 in shanghai?

ngl the NRG changes are too little and WAY too late for a champs run, switch them with G2

I think their main problem is that their playstyle is super predictable at higher levels of competition. JonahP said that G2's main strategy in their matchup was just preparing for 3v3 fights in their spawn 10s in the round.

I still think that W gaming is a very powerful playstyle (I mean how else would they reach podium finishes in 4 major tournaments) but they need to optimize their slow rounds in order to actually win those majors. Warbirds as assistant coach might actually be a move; TS beat them multiple times in regionals and he could give pointers as to how to counter the enemy counters.

Why do he keep bringing up his Halo career

Basically tex vs aspas mom except it's net's own dad

BabyJ thinks that saying everything like he's stoned will make up for the fact he's in the wrong

I wasn't playing Valorant in 2021 so idk how he was on Faze

the match against tgrd was really bad for him; bro dry swung into sayaplayer op multiple times. The c9 match wasn't that much better iirc

anyway hunter's getting cooked even as he's making up kyle's arguments

babyj being delusional thinking he can jump onto a T1 team

My favorite Americas team and my favorite Pacific team in the upper finals holy lord I will be there

Americas:
SEN
100T
G2
LEV (Points)

EMEA:
TH
KC
FUT
FNC (Points)

Pacific:
Gen.G
PRX
DRX
RRQ (Points)

China:
EDG
FPX
DRG
TE (Points)

who's gonna tell him

Tex played like ass at Kickoff, aspas mom shit on him over Twitter, Stage 1 rolls around and he's like the second best player on the team behind aspas

Option 1:
Americas get split into North/South (Brazil goes to South)

Based off Stage 1 the Americas scene is too heavily NA-favored rn

Option 2:
Pacific and CN get redistributed to East Asia (China, Japan, Korea) and Pacific (MY/SG, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Oceania, Philippines, South Asia, HK/TW)

China gets decent teams to practice against and smaller regions with reasonably sized orgs get some spotlight

We need a mom of one of the other players to dog on him so he goes on a Tex character arc and become the most cracked igl the game has ever seen

qrts somehow missing this point

waiting for bro to drop a "Not Like Us" cover

Wanna know

https://www.reddit.com/r/ValorantCompetitive/comments/1d5lja2/yinsu_and_kaqukas_thoughts_on_the_backlash/#lightbox basically compared boaster's situation to twisten's with no idea of twisten's actual situation

hit the gym and make new team comps that coaches don't have 18 months worth of antistrats on

The gang violence really adds to the realism

i don't know dawg it would be a hell of a coincidence to fluke three times in a row

key number is 2023

same here lol i went to sleep thinking "ah gg g2 weren't meant to win anyway" and then I woke up to g2 2-1 and icy diffing jinggg

dawg we need to nerf omen tp
brim ult 3k would've been an artpiece

FAV released him for an apparent roster rebuild

They haven't changed anything from last year and they're somehow still winning

Americas: G2
EMEA: KC
Pacific: Gen.G
China: FPX (Formerly Trace but FengF is still goated)

idk why but ive started to associate rossy with the purple arcade phantom

Both of them are cracked mechanically but Akame can play fuckin everything so i'll go with him

Not even 2 weeks in and I am already confused by these matches so far

that can't be a very high bar

in terms of the fanbase then the bar is on the fuckin ground

Korean Challengers scene so dead all the good T2 Korean players are playing in Japan

We will not tolerate mindfreak replacement

insta plants in spawn and just sit there

Genuinely curious, I've seen like a billion threads calling for this dude's head but I don't know what he did (Outside of booting Zest, Rb and Stax) to cause such reactions to begin with
