I would rather more players be "cocky" and overconfident than be boring and timid.
I think i slightly mis-interpreted what you had said.
But i like players play into the "villain" role hence why you want him to lose.

I like boostio's comments.
This game wouldn't be anywhere near as interesting without his comments.
I feel like small trash talk is something we need in esports, it brings a new edge to the games.
Ok what about boostio?
zombs 1 masters > apac 0 masters
Please realise that 99% of vlr takes aren't worth taking seriously.
T1 looked better than fut at tokyo imo.
They may have finished the same but T1 beat EDG and took nrg to the wire.
It's hard to make predictions for these events because we havent seen these teams play since almost 2 months ago.
Probably not.
Although fpx might pick it as a hail mary versus eg.
It's actually funny to see people finally realise that Elon Musk isn't some kind of genius.
He's not an inventor.
He's not a genius.
He's not an innovator.
He is simply just a business man.
this should be correct
(ALL COMPLETED VCT LANS)
there is 1 player on this list that doesn't have 1k kills.
He was on 965 kills. (before this event)
1202 rounds played.
I just copied the data from vlr and compiled it together.
7TH highest KPR of all players that have played at a vct lan
Lock//in created a few anomalies.
Yay just has a high number of rounds played (1846)
Deep runs at events help alot.
Optic players are near the top because of it.
Hes played 1717 rounds. (hes been playing since the start)
this should be correct
(ALL COMPLETED VCT LANS)
Seeding was based on placement at masters tokyo
Aspas doesn't have the most.
He has just hit that milestone.
(derke for example has 1432)
Raze is just better on those maps.
We will probably see jett on ascent/haven
slightly bad timing as half of loud get caught in a lockdown..
This map is attacker sided.
They misplayed round 5 pretty badly imo, but the whole map is going fine at this point.
Aspas was the best player in americas during the regular season.
I "hate" navi because of what they can be.
The individual skill of the players is incredible but their performances this year have been underwhelming.
Seeding was based on placement at tokyo compared to the other teams in your region.
Why say "shitmea fans" just say yessirski
if Americas had 5 slots... c9 still wouldn't be here.
me.
I want fnatic to win but acting like it's a certainty is downplaying the competition.
Duelist : Jingg
Initiator : Leo
Sentinel : Alfajer
Controller : s0m
Flex: f0rsaken
Ange1 vs Redgar
who gets the most first deaths?
I think Leaf is talented enough to become a franchised flex or even sentinel.
During Lock//in he was playing sentinel for c9, he was also an anchor in csgo which aligns with non-duelist roles.
Leaf talking about becoming a sentinel at a press conference during Lock//in:

Calling a "X game the Y Killer" is so lame.
The main killer of any game is the own game itself.
I think that is fair to say.
I would also say, atleast for emea val, the top teams and the good fan-groups doesn't have a good overlap.
The likes of the "blue wall" , "golden hornets" or even "the green suits" haven't been able to support their team at an event yet.
FNC and Liquid for example are top teams with good online presence but they don't have the fan culture that some of the french or spanish teams have.
Tokyo crowd was good imo.
Creating a crowd culture and hype takes time.
Just remember that they have been holding csgo events in cologne since 2014.
Nah.
I just auto-translate his tweets.
The twitter translation is normally good enough for me to understand.
He just does his own thing on twitter, hes pretty popular over there now.
polls, predictions, power rankings etc..
He's leaked a few things but mainly t2 brazil stuff.
There isn't much to leak in t1 atm, because the off season hasn't officially started.
Riot and the valorant orgs do not have the same privileges the likes of FIFA and UEFA has.
Valorant is not even comparable to football.
Riot has tried to host LAN events, check out the NA 2021 LCQ... look what happened.
This "NA has only had 1 lan" is such a meaningless point to harp on about.
The majority of valorant's esports life has been affected by covid and war.
If riot had held an event in NA in 2021/22, there would have been a sizeable number of teams affected by visas.
Do you seriously think riot is choosing Reykjavik multiple times due to the Icelandic crowds?
I disagree.
Franchising in valorant is hardly comparable to overwatch.
I do think the current t2 structure of Valorant hurts the scene a lot but right now it's salvageable.
4 years is incredibly long in esports terms.
I would expect most orgs to try and do their best to retain the slot.
It's one of the most lucrative revenue sources in esports.
So you might see some orgs try to go big in the last 2 seasons.
It was a falling out when they were team mates on EG.
Breaking out of tier 3 is pretty hard, especially in NA.
There's a lot of good players stuck in the depths of Knight's monthlies.
In csgo he was a good player, a very good player and there's no denying that.
The EG failure was pretty bad, the starbucks incident and falling out with the coaches.
(though tarik fell out with chet and they are both fine .. so who knows)
Stewie vs ethan?
It's just the case of ethan moving to valorant earlier.
The csgo fundamentals do not get as far as it used to in the early days of valorant.
Ethan has learned how to play with 100t, nrg and now eg.
Global esports.. let's create a dynasty.
