#1 edg hater, kk clears your favorite player

Just made me realize there has been 12 international events already wtf

Ehh, it's best not to get caught up in stats like HSP. Just run DM's with the goal of keeping your crosshair head level and focus on controlling your mechanics instead of winning, and you'll build confidence I think. It's all about practicing good habits at the end of the day

I might be demon1 then idk. HS% is sort of meaningless though in the grand scheme of things tho

No I mean like the regular practice bots, Not the easy/medium/hard. I would just spawn them in and track their head for like 2-3 minutes then turn it off and visualize head level while doing the same thing. Eventually you get to the point where you clear angles and you don't even have to think about if your crosshair is head level anymore.

Aim for the head pretty much lol. What helped me get mine around 35-40% is going into the range and continously spawning bots in and out to sort of get a visualization of where your crosshair needs to be at for headshots. Do that enough and it'll become instinct where your crosshair should be.

They're gonna win another one next season too watch.

Dumbass structure essentially forces orgs to fold if they aren't the one team to ascend. For example, OXG will 100% get their roster picked apart this offseason, leading to a forced rebuild, and knowing what tier 2 expenses look like, who knows if the org will even want to commit to that. Potentially one less team in tier 2. The cycle will continue, as any teams that don't win ascension but have players that will get poached will eventually be forced to rebuild or leave challengers. Guarantee the same thing will happen with m80 if they lose ascension, it's honestly a shitshow. Only a couple years from now the tier 2 scene will just be premier players playing for free, and the viewership/sponsors/etc. will be nonexistent.

sussybaka the prophet

TenzedZombie 100%.

Verno is gonna be NA's Riens when he gets picked up next year.

Change best site holder to Chichoo and this is a perfect list.

EDG, watching the 2022 East Asia LCQ. I remember staying up one night to watch their game vs Northeption, second map went like 40 rounds. I saw the way they played, and it reminded me a lot of PRX. And KK's player cams used to be hilarious, he'd just be screaming at the camera lmao. Really happy to see how far they've come since then.

Nah, Nats v. Chichoo matchup would be fire.

One matchup of any teams from any year? Personally, i'd want to see 2023 Fnatic vs 2022 Optic or 2024 Champs EDG vs 2022 Champs LOUD.

Placements can be a good indication of regional skill. But like I said, it shouldn't be the only or main factor. As to why FPX doesn't get to playoffs, that's something within their team that can be answered, could be any type of team related reason. Doesn't change the fact that they were competitive this year, even if they didn't make it past group stages. And in reality, look at who they had to face this year at events. 4/7 of their international matches were vs. Heretics/GenG/Sentinels. 2 EVENT WINNERS and a back-to-back grand finalist. other three, they beat FUT, and lost at Madrid to LOUD and KC, who were in form at the time. Not many teams in the world would have done much better given those matches. Bottom line is all the regions have multiple good teams.

EMEA has a total of 2 wins in playoffs the whole year if you take Heretics away, and one of the wins was two EMEA teams against each other lmao. You can't just use placements as the be all end all of how good teams were, that's my whole point. If you want to use international playoffs wins as the metric of how good a league is, then Americas is the only good league. That's just stupid logic.

then you could say the same about every other region except Americas. TH and GenG/PRX have been the only teams from their regions to get deep into internationals? What's different between them and China according to your logic? I agree that the Chinese league has a wider margin between the top and bottom compared to the other leagues, but to act like there is only one team that is noteworthy from the region when we saw the third seed upset Vitality and Lev back to back, and FPX have super close games with some top teams this year is disingenuous.

idk how making playoffs and losing = bombing out? at that point if you're not top 4 then you bombed out? Sen didn't even make Shanghai

Can't use regional titles for the other teams then? Every region has bad teams and good teams lol, Trace and FPX hung with the rest of the world.

How is champs winners, 3 regional titles, and qualifying for all 3 internationals not top 3...?

Nah idc 111 kills, 309 acs avg in a gf, 26 first bloods that’s the best performance I have ever seen.

Idc Idc Idc that was the greatest single player performance in valorant history, this guy’s way too good. Bro went like +40, just ridiculous.

Nah sorry

There was no guessing, I told you i’m from the future.

Swvyboi, nobody100, I need all of you people who doubted this outcome to come and bow beneath my feet.

Duelist: Zmjjkk
Flex: Woot
Initiator: Riens
Smokes: Tenz
Sentinel: Meteor

WHAT R U GONNA DOOO? THE ODDS ARE STACKED AGAINST YOU... BACK AGAINST THE WALL, GOTTA GIVE IT YOUR ALL.

100% will continue, can't compare tier 2 to the IL's also because Riot is helping fund these franchised teams.

This site is so hilarious, as soon as a team loses ppl start calling for like 4 guys to get dropped. I've seen like 25 SEN roster change threads and they lost no less than 4 hours ago lmao.

I don't think there is a "better" duelist, specifically for how their team operates. Their attack side essentially uses him as bait, and on the defense he's really good taking space aggressively with help. Any pro duelist can do that honestly, so why risk losing chemistry and such if you've seen success all year long with this style of play?

Idk where this notion of miniboo being some dogshit player came from, he does his job well and is mechanically sound. I'd be more surprised if they dropped him.

So then why are you using rating as a metric to show who's the better entry fragger lol. Idc if he's the highest rated neon, he farmed those stats against trace and vitality, like let's be serious. Bottom line is kangkang is the better DUELIST, he performs what the role requires better than aspas does.

KK fkpr on jett: .25
Aspas fkpr on jett: .18

KK fkpr on raze: .20
Aspas on raze: .16

KK fkpr on neon: .24
Aspas fkpr on neon: .20

Please explain how he is the best entry fragger itw cause numbers don't lie.

Awesome explanation of the gameplan lmao thanks

EDG's second ever real international event? against the defending champions? Less of an aspas diff more of a team diff at that point. Today's game was close enough that if aspas played a bit better LEV would have won.

Exactly, and that is the mark of a great duelist, it's stupidly hard to entry and get the first kill, most of the time you should be dying.

1. Humble king doesn't want to belittle the opposition
2. That's cool, please explain to me what the LEV gameplan is. and he's one of the more aggressive jetts, the whole attack side gameplan was to walk him up mid basically and go from there lol. He's a great player but this is a new time, and I think he has been overrated due to how much the players he used to be compared with fell off.

Heretics bout to clear fraudpas tomorrow too just you wait

.

He is now deal with it. and chichoo and smoggy are amazing too, but not talking about them rn. You can't be the best player in the world getting diffed in the biggest games, simple as that

Tired of hearing this aspas talk, bro entries when he feels like it and buys OP on attack when he feels like it, whereas my goat Kangkang entries every round and gets first kills at a rate unseen before. 20 first bloods in a champs upper final, he diffed y'all's "goat" to hell, and is the real best duelist in the world.

Free the kid, he deserves better

I would probably say either ascent and bind or ascent and sunset. Depends really cause imo Sunset is both team's best maps, and I think Heretics is better on it. That's why I said it'd be worse to play against Heretics cause all their good maps are good maps for EDG too, just makes it kind of a tossup.

Yeah it has been their Perma ban the whole tournament pretty much. Also, SEN wouldn't have any bans if they end up in GF, as EDG would have both map bans since they came from upper bracket.

Rather play SEN, ban haven ban ascent, can't do that against heretics because they share all their best maps with EDG.

Hey...

https://www.vlr.gg/post/4003497/lev-and-drx-you-re-next

The script was already written, Heretics must move on...

China is here, Chichoo is the best player in the world idc, KK clears aspas, give us SEN, give us Heretics, doesn’t matter TROPHY SOON!!!
