HK is toxic as fuck. Pinoys are ruthless sometimes.

SG/MY below that.

JP is the least toxic by faaaaaar.

LMFAO

bro chill out its vlr nobody actually cares about that shit

Derke and Yay are so good but I think Derke is the more valuable player because he has great agent flexibility, although Yay's Chamber is unmatched.

that is really really interesting! You're the second person who says JP aim is quite good. I wasn't aware JP had such good aim! They just seemed very normal, maybe even less compared to other servers I've played on. Thank you for your insight.

nice shots :)

agree, but at the same time I feel like DRX is currently the only team with the potential to do well internationally.

Exy from Damwon KIA was 2. He's so fucking good tbh, deserves to be at an international event.

this severely hurts the chances of a damwon 2-0

exy deserves to be at an international LAN

Zunba smoking off the chamber trap only for GodDead to shoot it is a huge mistake that should never happen. Ever. ONS need to clean their act up.

DK have the player potential to be the best team in KR, even better than DRX imo.

that first one is so good

I prefer no market. I want to be able to actually afford cool skins. Spending 100k USD on a new ShitLore FN Souvenir omega rare 6969 float with the Touch Grass pattern is absurd to me.

shit is such a fuckin banger bro

I personally really enjoy older LoL hype videos:

its just a stereotype from salty people that turkish players are demons on high ping.

yeah, the guy on my team had like high 70s i think.

the former already happened tbf

honestly slightly off-topic but it's really interesting to see almost all of the top teams in NA be replaced by new teams with a lot of players who weren't really in Tier 1 Valorant! Goes to show the depth of the scene.

Ghost were Tier 2, 100T's roster is almost completely Tier 2 players (except Asuna and maybe Bang), EG as well, like it's very refreshing to see.

i am immortal sir

yeah thats fucked tbh considering one of the most influential LOL teams (Moscow 5) was Russian.

maybe, it's a good point

lmao, i see. hopefully rito implements CIS servers in the future!

Also interesting, my experience is that JP has some very snappy aim for sure (and their sheriffs are crazy good), but I've never really felt like I was out-aimed during a gunfight. Interesting to hear that their aim is better than EU's.

Everyone on vlr is an alt except you.

Stax, MaKo, Marved, SugarZ3ro, Chronicle, Nivera, Hiko

mfer climbin mountains like he climbs ranked KEK

i car!

3 KR seems like the best as currently the top 3 KR teams seem a cut above the rest ngl, 6 is too much. Although you could also say the top 2 SEA teams (PRX and XIA) also look better than the rest of the competition too.

unbanned!

This ShooterR guy is pretty cracked eh?

ah, fair then.

I was hyped for Bonkers until I saw them play against Persija....then I realised that whatever rep OCE sends needs to be at least 10x better than Bonkers. I hope ORDER is that team, because tbh I was not impressed by Bonkers. Maybe it was because they were playing with a sub though.

Talk to friends, browse phone, exercise, or drink kekw

different types of peeks for different situations. there is no end-all definitive peek.

ok

it's not a bad thing bro. Another way to look at it is that you're not being left behind.

I've found After Dark by Mr. Kitty recently and that song is a fucking banger.

theres this korean initiator player called xeta. i feel like c9 could pull off an insane lb run in lcq and be the best performing NA team at champs if they get him

T1 isnt in any tier rn because they have 2 new players and they havent played a single game.

LMAO

The "Cringe Comp" incident

PRX number 1 is insane copium.

DRX mental is the only aspect that isn't word-class. Unfortunately mental is what wins you games and gets you results.

they've been playing Breach Haven since the game came out, Skye/Raze on Split the moment Skye came out, and only recently have other teams realised how good these comps are. Shows how far ahead of the curve they were.

while there are a number of health related problems that stem from excessive gaming, physical sports are inherently, well, physical, and often involve a lot of contact and utilisation of many muscle groups. I think it's certain to say that an 8 hour session of traditional sports will be far likely to incur a physical injury compared to an 8 hour gaming session. Certain team-based sports such as basketball, baseball, football, American Football, hockey, etc. involve contact injuries as well. I'm not saying that eSports doesn't come with health issues, I'm saying that they come with less compared to traditional sports. Which is true.

I also did not explicitly touch on the severe mental strain being an eSports professional carries, but I alluded to it in my original post.

eSports is cutthroat compared to other jobs. It's also less physically demanding than other sports. Professional athletes don't practice that much because of potential fitness issues, so naturally an industry where there is a ton of competition without the limitation of physical health will usually result in hard grinders and freakish talent reaching the top. The constant updates and changing metas require dedication and hours to be able to adapt.

Not to mention the early burnout/retirement age. eSports is all about high risk high reward. You get paid a lot more than the average worker at the cost of harsher working conditions and early retirement.

It's just simply the nature of eSports. If you don't grind as much as the others you'll usually be surpassed.

koreanoverlord never meatrides other vlr users man this guy is dedicated to the grind of being the most batshit based mfer on the site.
