Started in Iron 2, got hardstuck bronze for months, hit silver a few weeks back but fell back to bronze (Tracker says B2 but I got back to B3)

It is very embarrassing to see my friend list filled with golds to ascendants while I'm struggling against a silver 3 reyna with ego problems. But I try nontheless

ong he gets so much hate considering there's like a billion duelists worse than him

wat

me when the Indian team is trying out a singular Indian player

Not gonna try and convince you otherwise, I'm just gonna list out some of the points I have a problem with

A5 (and by extension B2). If we're counting Cauanzin as a rookie then you'd also have to count Leo as one given that both made a Masters event on previous teams (Cauanzin played in Reykyavik for NiP and Leo played in Copenhagen for Guild).
A6. Even the best quality trophy can be broken if the shipping company is shit at their job
A9/10: People have bad games?
C3. A random agent select tournament would be too RNG to have a quantifiable value as a major event. LOCK/IN's single elim format is not that; it punishes any mistake with elimination. Up until that point, the only other team to win an event without dropping a series was Sen in 2021 (which most people agree wasn't very high quality Valorant), and Acend (which I personally think only happened because of 7 gift-wrapped rounds to Keyd Stars, also had the same problems as Sen's run)

Bold = idk how you want us to put a source on this

I'll add more once I get a proper read

They literally signed dvnc9 as a sub and then proceeded to not use him

I think Scarz hurt the notion of international rosters too much this year for teams to want to go that direction

"not guilty doesn't mean innocent so that means it's perfectly acceptable to treat him as if he's guilty"

The higher placing team gets a guaranteed stay for another year while the lower placing team has to win Ascension to stay

wah wah wah the multi-billion dollar company is hurt because I downloaded a ROM for Wii Fit

that 2game match broke them

idk their celebrations are more annoying than hype

mfw screaming after a barely won anti-eco

tsm has negative aura and don't even have good gameplay to make up for it

I fuckin hate how they celebrate barely winning out an anti-eco like they won Champs

A key part of Sunset is breaking the unbreakable Cypher trips on B

Fade was used more in the early season when teams ran Raze as the main duelist since Fade prowlers could detect the trips and Raze could nade the trips

Since Neon got buffed and teams started using her a lot more, they moved more toward Sova to break the trips (IIRC Heretics used the Sova Neon comp pre-buffs)

i bought a secondhand monitor but there is no power cord so I am stuck with a giant black rectangle for 2 days

it's probably gonna happen

tsm won 1 series so far and in the most horrendous way imaginable

well yeah i'd be bored too if I had to play another match even though my team is guaranteed first seed

In Kr1stal we trust

like what do you mean you slide into the whole enemy team and get 2-3 people

me when someone uses a wallbang gun for a wallbang map 😠

ngl I don't trust tsm to win this

Unfortunately it would be a logistical nightmare

did zekken also whiff a jett ult right click

tenzells on suicide watch

Regarding improvement:

• Do you think people in low elo overthink or underthink aiming? Ik from experience I could do like 8 billion range bots and DMs and go 8/22 in a ranked game.
• How much does equipment really matter? Is there anyone you met with a relatively subpar setup?
• How do you deal with teammates who bait the rest of the team? None of the guides on YT really touch on that subject.
• How often do you use aim trainers?
• Which role would you say is the best at ranking up?

Regarding your radiant experience:

• Which role do you enjoy playing the most?
• How often did you encounter other regions' pro players during Champs last year?
• Do you notice a difference in comm quality or entertainment between radiant and lower rankings?
• How close are the players in radiant? I always felt that (at least in NA) everyone knows each other at that level, whether it's pros or ranked demons.
• Why does everyone play Illinois or Texas?

Not a SEN fan but this news hit like a truck and now idk what to say about it

Comeback
Lar0k
Loita

None of them turn 18 until mid to late 2025

Just looking at zeta fennel and former team smg in the same group has to be some sort of human rights violation

wasn't n4rrate also on a shit team

too much weekend edging imo

I too am looking for tickets

Looking for tickets as well

"unlucky" and it's a phenomenon that occured in the exact same fashion on 8 different occasions

I feel like after I win and get to around 80-90rr the game gives me a bunch of fucked unwinnable games (enemy smurf, some guy arguing in chat after baiting the entire team) that put me down to like 0-15rr

This has happened on multiple occasions and I'm getting sick of it

istfg if the tenten/sylvan rumors are actually true imma lose it

xin chào

I have the blastx odin and it’s so much fun to use

he turns 18 in Feburary so they theoretically could pull a Heretics and keep him in the basement until mid to late Kickoff

hurts so much it's a comedy

tsm threw a 11-something lead
sym saves them from humiliation with an ace
sato gets an op ace in ot in like 10 seconds
seven did a bit of trolling

entertainment

at least we have a lan

Would you rather have a teammate go 9/20 with a 50% hs rate or go 21/9 with a 12% hs rate

Heard his name get thrown around half-jokingly on VCJ threads because he's at least part Japanese, but yea kid is insane

you literally just peddled all of trembo's waffling with no added content lmao

TSM look bad, lot of thrown rounds

after crazyguy got dropped i went on every bleed match thread and called 0-2
