no i dont think he is "based" for that thebigboipenguin!

tin foil hat jokes in big 2024

nah,nothing important forget about it

reading comprehension,how do u get that my main problem is twitch chat and tenz

haha,if only u knew

can u not read?

ur in for a surprise

good otherwise but i dont watch tarik,tenz or any of those guys or try to be edgy in anyones twitch chat

because what does that have to do with me personally

i think ur a bit confused

do u perhaps identify as one of these ppl or why the hostile attitude

yes?

tarik seems pretty normal,wouldnt have thought from him

val community is probably top 3 worst i have seen,literal infestation of chronically online gen z,the fact the top comment on this thread with 35 frags is someone calling tenz "based" for this lmao,the consequence of modern mans testosterone levels being lower than a 70yo

lazy bait

again the "more ppl" argument,lets look at the ranked playerbases in tracker,with statistically 1b more ppl emea has a whopping 500k more ranked payers currently than americas with americas having around 2.2m and emea 2.7m
the us at one point had more cs players than every eu country expect russia but doesn't even have more success than Denmark or sweden with populations smaller than new york city,per capita is what makes the difference not more ppl

sure but why are we acting like "americas" having the most is impressive? U have 3 massive independent regions with their own slots for events before franchising combined only 2 years ago,before that no one in their right mind would think its a flex that the whole americas has more competitive teams,but now the narrative has changed for some reason just cause the league has both SA and NA teams

americas is also by far the biggest league in the game,in no other esport ppl compare SA and NA achievements together to eu lol

damn theres still more,just let it pour out ur in a safe space

give americas the avg placement championship

let it all out man

ppl are def falling for this

if u wanna argue about trophies and success but rather include a tourney where regions play each other for the first time in a barely 1 year old game but not a 2023 skill level tourney cause its singe elim u are the definition of biased

when did i say that?? I said they were BY FAR the most experienced and high level cs pros in that tourney when nobody knew how to play

u literally have 0 arguments,wdym obvious conclusion when u coudnt answer to singe thing i said there and needed to go with the "u can have ur own opinion i just know im right" as soon as i bring up the facts,nice cope

my bad

tf u mean when is that? When emea starts performing

nah cause i know that when emea starts performing it will actually result in trophies

yea i can personally rather take even 3 years of shit emea val with a couple trophies rather than choking 3 finals in a row and still being at 0 trophies in 2024

look at the tournament?? Its like nip trying to flex winning a cs major in 2013,that tournament means the least out of any in the grand scheme,regions had 0 experience against each other,the game was 1 year old and zombs won a trophy,sen had more experience than 95% of the players there cause of their cs background they just dominated cause they had better fundamentals than anyone else at the time

thats what im saying lol

#11

that completely fine to me if we take away reykjavik 2021 from NA,reykjavik 2022 was mickey mouse af too but we can let it slide

sure but the fact its this high is like 80% sentinels,also u cant compare kick off viewership to the whole league that lasted like months especially when riot tried to milk the wiewership with the free watch party rights,we had all the big cc's watch partying all regions for the first time,lets see how much the regular season games get now compared to 2023 then u can see the real growth,val had its lwest wiewership since 2020 just befre this seasn including all off seasons before but u think now suddenly it just had a massive growth spurt out of nowhere,that is delusional if anything when u can literally see sen carried the wiewership in all games,even sen vs kc averaged higher than prx vs loud and gen g vs prx in playoffs

i dont think so the game is too random,maybe eu can improve a lot talent wise if cs loses popularity,but i dont think its happening

i dont think a single region will ever dominate this game,and i dont think eu will,eu situation is different to all other regions because of cs,the popularity of cs in eu limits the potential talent pool a lot compared to other regions

"it may be true" it is 100% an undeniable fact,do u think val just organically jumped from champs averaging 491k and peaking at 1.29m to madrid peaking at 1.65m and averaging 670k cause the game is growing lol,its pretty obvious what the difference maker is when u look at the stats,sen in their first masters since 2021 with a big chance to win it all

if u think eg not wining was because their star duelist couldnt prac with them for a couple of days ur actually fucking stupid,he was still there he just arrived late

then america gets 2022 reykjavik tax🤝
what a massive nerf for eg the 1 player who can just run it down and rely on his aim cant practice with them for a couple days
if that and have fun merchants missing something is a valid reason then is emea not having fpx or derke

without sen this would have been another 900k peak tourney lets be realistic,cs atest major had 1.5m with vitality vs gamerlegion

hahahahaha

if emea gets a "lock in tax" NA gets a reykjavik tax,im taking lock in over that plumber fest any day

his "fox gaming" days was a whopping 2 bo3's what a true fan u are

the irony,a pure glory hunter talking about claiming a player

says a person who made his johnqt "fan" account 3 days ago

and what have u done to earn ur right to analyze the game?

lmaooo and americans were just malding that he doesnt claim emea a coupe days ago

what does that have to do with anything

cs major isnt even in playoffs yet and idk where u got 700k it says 959k on escharts

wdym,why wouldn't i
