listening thru the stream, Bail is seriously hyping up Wenty.

And apparently it was very difficult to come to a negotiation for Exy and texture :(

just because they played in English doesn't mean it's even better, that's not how language works. They will always be better in their native tongue - there is no debating this. KR exports anywhere will almost always prefer speaking in Korean. That's why for example KR LPL imports still speak Korean in interviews and stuff.

wait who

I bet there was a time gap between all these ranks you hit

perhaps, but at most it was just a few months. actually I've been playing less and less valorant since I came to NA because I got a social life & studies.

i'll get an alt

wdym even better, Korean is the mother tongue for all of these players except maybe Ban lol.
They may not have a huge problem but the comms will always be better than in English.

iNTRO/Secret over Exy? lol?

hopium

Hate - Medusa - Estrella - Fivek - Efina - Goddead - Suggest - Seoldam - Astell - beyn

Hate - most underperforming player on TNL roster. Solid player but nothing like his ex-teammates Exy, TS, eKo, Meteor
Medusa - heard this guy is very mechanically talented but never got the chance to show it. Perhaps it will be a form only within scrims.
Estrella - high potential, but supposedly has an attitude problem.
FiveK - too old.
Efina - not good enough.
GodDead - not good enough, inconsistent.
Suggest - good, but he probably didn't get a taste of real competition. Doubtful he can return to his Reykjavik/2021 form.
Seoldam - really high potential and IMO if he plays the way he used to he will be one of the best Jetts in the world. Supposedly has a comm/attitude issue though.
Astell - not good enough.
beyN - probably received a lot of good coaching, but did not produce amazing results as DRX's oldest trainee. Perhaps he will find his prime in the future.

rank?

EXY NOOO

Wonder how comms will change when he plays in the roster...

can you boost me? I’ll be your kitten >.< :3

SG flair? 🤨

.

on Sunday the king is benched

appreciate that but obv obv im not that good, just lucky to be able to hit a high rank

nah not even close man tbh

i was involved in the NA tier2/tier 3 scene at one point, just not as a player

#5

unironically i would say either APAC or KR was hardest to hit immortal on. in KR I felt like I was getting aimdiffed, same for APAC to an extremely slightly lesser extent. I think in NA I never got that feeling of being aimdiffed, even when I was matched against radiants/imm3s. However, I do also think that it's because there are so many people in NA that I may have just gotten lucky with my games. I know there are some real aim demons in NA, I meet them whenever I play DM. So perhaps it's just that in low immortal the quality isn't as good as low immortal in APAC/KR, but the talent is consolidated in the highest of ranks, like true radiant/imm3.

let's goooo

NA, KR, APAC

(also i actually won another game after, so 110 RR)

tarik

read that as "yeah no, exy sucks" instead of "yeah, no exy sucks" LMAO

HOPIUM

i knew T1 would win vs RNG because they always make semis, but JDG is the real test

I won't stand for this lil bro, lemme call enigma, Hudsen, redlight, and the rest of the vlr staff rn

guy's already been scrimming bro

luv u <3

jesus christ

I don't care what you think

i love trembolona tbh

i dont think its necessarily a copy. the tiger is the national animal of korea

fuck matlab all my homies hate matlab

when you're in a SEN dickriding competition and your opponent is RickyIndian

eKo was never on Damwon. out of the starting 5 only iNTRO was a Damwon player.

He is on GenG

i understand the rationale but I seriously, seriously doubt ZETA will sell Laz as he is their best player and the poster boy of Japanese Valorant.

internet is scuffed rn so its hard to link to the rest

excluding teams that already competed i.e. PRX, DRX, etc.

imo it's

1. GENG (tiger goes hard)
2. T1 (love the new jersey look tbh)
3. Talon

exy pain

Usually the criteria/assumption comes before the statement but ok. even then excluding DRX there are better controllers like Mindfreak and SugarZ3ro.

nah GodDead was good until he got sick with that terminal disease

yeah people sleeping on eKo, this guy was smurfin in LCQ and JP.

he's not wrong. GodDead is meh and Meteor > Bazzi. TS and eKo are proven to be good and I would say k1ng > Estrella.
