if you added 1 kill and multiplied it by 5000 i would have more kills than aspas in vct. put some respect on my name fr

aimlabs is not worth it imho (source: peaked radiant and hit imm~imm3+ on multiple regions)
personally the movement in aimlabs valorant scenarios is completely different and feels very unresponsive.
the drills where you expressly only use your mouse can be useful, but i think they won't necessarily translate well into real gameplay. there are loads of examples of high ranked aim trainer players not reaching the same skill level in actual fps games.
that doesn't mean aimlabs is useless, maybe it's the fit for you. but i personally did not benefit from it.

i think dm/tdm is the best way to practice your mechanics because you get to focus on your movement (which imo is the most important mechanic) and in the case of dms you learn crosshair placement and angles/off-angles on maps you'll play in ranked.

something nobody has said yet in this thread is that you actually have a lot more time in a 1v1 fight than you think. you can take a decent amount of time to line up a shot, but most people just panic.

while i undoubtedly am sure that no one on EDG is malicious, i still feel like S1mon needs to bring his side of the story out to bear before I make any judgment.

holy shit youre right 0.60 rating today and 0.61 on average whereas patrickwho has a 0.55 on average

yeah he just lost them the game

Besides ScreaM - Nivera and Boo - Miniboo, is Meteor - TenTen the next big brother duo? They already have the most trophies out of any brother duo before (lmfao)

crazy thing is Dep was not the problem. bro is a solid duelist

only g2 is capable of doing damage from the americas

true guys a monster

people don't talk about him enough right now which is crazy. I only heard Indonesians hyping him up during the offseason but now everyone's fixated on Jemkin, fair enough I guess but Kushy is so impactful on the initiator role.

Top 2 initiator in Pacific. I'd only put free1ng above him.

I've gone on record to say I don't think he'll be rookie of the year, but I'm lowkey so down to be proven wrong. He is insane, my favourite SEA player rn.
(I personally hope anyone on Nongshim/Hyunmin/Free1ng make rookie of the year though)

Hope RRQ does well if they make Toronto because the Jemkin/Kushy duo is really fun to watch.

fr it's not a good economy to be buying tech
what can u do tho, this shit's gonna last a while.

unrelated but how the fuck do you miss your shot 60 fucking times and still decide good ol' reliable twitter dming is the way to go instead of re-evaluating how you look, your personality, etc.

yeah this vram shit sucks. it's not hard for devs to optimise their games to take less vram too. but that's another issue.
amd cards have a higher amount of vram for the price - looks like once you're able to afford an upgrade it might be worth looking into

bro needs to manage his diet and change his yee yee ass haircut at the bare minimum for sure. guy is legit trying to crutch on his job like it's gonna make him significantly more attractive.

3070 is still a decent card tbf

sure but let's give credit where credit is due, fnatic were not innovators for running the comp. i'm sure the current best haven team in the world (T1) were more aware of the iso-yoru comp from SPG than from FNC considering they probably scrimmed SPG and they're from the same region.

Haven is T1 and if we're talking about the comp, SPG were the first to run it, not FNC.

think u mean 2022 loud

where tf did this come from lmfaooo

shanghai geng and champs eg or loud tbh

not really sure what you're trying to get at. Nuturn's 3rd is still objectively the highest placement by an Asian team at an international in 2021. this 13-0 is totally irrelevant. Full Sense also got 13-0ed by SPG at last year's Ascension, it doesn't mean anything lol

and even then, what i said remains true. KR was never at any point weaker than SEA overall since VCT started, and since 2023 has been clearly the stronger region.

you still haven't responded to me about the sinatraa being korean thing lol

and isn't that exactly what you're doing to me right now?

franchising started in 2023.
in 2020 Vision Strikers won every tournament they went to (which was basically Korean domestics and Asian tournaments, where they beat SMG which was the best SEA team at the time, Absolute JUPITER the best JP team, and RNG the best Chinese team)
2021 Nuturn had the highest placement of any Asian team at an international (3rd at M2 Reykjavik)
2022 DRX had the highest placement of any Asian team at Champs (3rd) and PRX had the highest placement at an international overall (2nd Copenhagen), but they were directly seeded into playoffs. The only time PRX had to make it through a group stage they got knocked out.

if you want to include prefranchising the argument is still in favour of or arguably strengthens Korea being the stronger overall representative for Asia LMFAO

it's pretty unfortunate yeah. but afaik it's a problem with the system and riot should make it a rule, like frost said

SEA fans acted like their region was being robbed of spots even though they consistently have had more teams than Korea in VCT franchising history, despite the fact that SEA teams were always placing worse than KR teams with the exception of PRX.

2023 PRX DRX T1 top 3
2024 GENG DRX PRX top 3
2025 Kickoff was DRX T1 GENG top 3

you're missing my point.

geng losing at champs after making 5/5 (kickoff, madrid, stage 1, shanghai, stage 2) consecutive finals across the entire season: exposed
acend falling off the face of the earth after winning champs: ?
emea as a whole not winning a trophy since tokyo: ? lmfao

the wording on riot's announcement specified publicly, without consent from teams involved and riot. so that's probably why

it has literally no relevance to the conversation lol, there is no reason to bring it up and you bringing it up comes off more racist than not. why would you out-of-the-blue completely unprompted bring up his ethnicity? lmfao

the outrage on this site from SEA fans when Korea was given 3 slots in franchising was insane.
even though SEA had more slots to international events/in franchising since 2022

technically speaking i think frost mentioned that it's not against the rules to share scrim information and that his issue is mainly with riot for not making it a rule, could be wrong though

yeah. why is it a fun fact? why are you being so obtuse? clearly you're trying to establish some sort of implicit connection between sinatraa, flashback, and being korean lol that makes it racist. it's weird that you're trying to play things off as if you're a neutral. you could have literally not brought up sinatraa's ethnicity because it has no relevance to the conversation lol

even now you're strawmanning and refusing to answer why you brought it up in the first place and what sinatraa being korean has to do with anything

that makes a lot more sense. it's surprising that this seems to be the reason why PRX isn't scrimming DRX considering they used to be big scrim buddies and the last i heard of it was that PRX slowly stopped scrimming DRX due to differing schedules or being actual competitors or something of that sort.

rumours circulating that Korean teams are sharing scrim info with other Korean teams. that's pretty much it.
that or they are (for some reason) refusing to scrim teams whose info they're also supposed to be leaking to their friends - that one doesn't make sense to me. how are you supposed to leak SEA scrims to your friends if you don't scrim SEA in the first place

yes, and what does that have to do with anything? you clearly thought it was important enough to bring up, so what's the connection you're trying to make here? what is so funny about sinatraa being korean-american?

i'm so confused, so if they aren't scrimming SEA teams how are they supposed to keep up this whole mafia of sharing scrims with other Korean teams lol

what does that have to do with anything lol? this comes off as pretty racist

ghoul33 or whatever is supposed to be the second coming of aspas according to valsim

kellyS is doing pretty good i thought

BOOM beat GEN.G with 2 new players, GE, and a weak ass PRX and you're saying they're better than the team that made it to a Champs finals lmaooooo PRX 2023 is still the best SEA team ever produced, and if you say something makes PRX non-SEA then Copenhagen PRX is still better than BOOM so far.

Meiy had the exact same rating as Suggest during Stage 1 last year.

W move real ones know this guy was the best player on DFM during 2023 and he was top 5 in terms of stats for a while

because they played as a better team than G2 did and their players clutched up important rounds?

how do u come up with the worst takes

no real history in tac fps? is the answer not glaringly obvious here?

The best coaches in Pacific -
Alecks
Solo & HSK
Termi
SilkAnoN

these guys all had history in CS.
Autumn is the only one without a history in Tac-FPS, he came from PUBG.

Sungmin in T1 Academy is doing a good job, plus he was part of SPG during their Ascension run.

But realistically DRX will stick with Termi because he literally just won Kickoff. You actually are high!

DRX is the least likely Korean org to import players or coaches, especially now that Korea is the strongest singular country in Valorant right now lol.

you have got to be high, delusional, and damaged to think DRX would ever sign a non-Korean, especially a Chinese person.

really annoying when they would scream and yell whenever someone had a good timing or lurk tbh
