Dude what's your problem? Oh wait, https://www.vlr.gg/158570/sr-3-1 ... unlucko GG

Andrew should have peaked in 2010 rather than recently in order to advance his views, which have previously been explored and talked extensively by many others before him. Without a doubt, he is a clever kid... and speaking of communication skills, his alpha male trolling persona has served him well in attracting the necessary audience to help making his fortune. He has managed to go head to head with cancel culturists and come out on top (judging by his wealth only)...
TBH, his approach is another way to earn money in today's environment by promoting stuff that everyone knows but doesn't talk about much since it's 2022 outdoors.

Yes, I am aware... I have S2-C and S1-C, as well as older versions... but I like the older ones. The cable you can get for a small fee from some like LGG or the like ... here in the UK it's zerkgamingmods.... so not a big of a deal, regarding modding a little. But the older Zowie just feel better in my palm like the 82g older S2. I'm not sure why though ...maybe because I've used heavier mice for a long time, including Fk1+, or because I have heavy arms... Also, the (-C) line of Zowie has different m1/m2, or their clicks don't feel right to me compared to the older (-B) line (again strictly IMHO.)
The same can be said about GPW vs GPX, both of which I own... GPW seems much more comfortable to me. Also, IMHO I find that 70-80 grams mice are easier to control than light mice 60 grams and less.
Again, it's a personal preference, since I know plenty of individuals who like GPX over GPW, and prefer lighter mice over heavier, in general.

There is some truth to your post. TenZ at his peak: Zowie S2 and HyperX Fury S mousepad... Sure, a better cable might have enhanced the older S2, and the weight of a mouse isn't a significant concern, as Sick (g900) and nAts (S2-b) would attest.

So, the subject of switching peripherals is, at best, questionable.

Surprisingly, switching to 240hz or 360hz may produce dizziness and lightheadedness or even just playing on high refresh rate monitors, but only in Valorant - at least for me, since I've never experienced/felt anything like that while playing CS or any other game. I've felt a little lightheaded on two occasions, both when practising flicks in Range - long sessions. It also happened to me after I had been playing on 240hz for a quite long time. Though, you'll get used to it.
Also, the 8k mouse and 240hz display did not throw anything off for me in terms of dizziness and lightheadedness... Though, on a 240/360hz display, 8k is extremely smooth.

No, obviously ange1 would be a better choice for an igl - not zyppan... but "zypan and friends" which is localy known as "zypan go kill" - a meme theme on FPX which typically applies to when zyppan go berzerk on the enemy, implying that he overperforms in his duties as a duelist... so, it will never be called, "Cned and teammates" at least at the beginning <--- that's what I tried to communicate to you.

But I actually misinterpreted your question a bit...

Yeah, they're a really scary team - even closer to perfection than ever before... you might also call them a "superteam," having one of the top players in each category in the world. The goal of this team is nothing but to win trophies. Will they really accomplish it? We'll see.
However, on the paper and in the actual game, they appear to be frighteningly strong as we've seen them play... thus, with a decent vision from their strategy dept., they are more than capable of winning.

--> But we also know that you don't need superteams to win trophies, and other clubs will improve with time. Hence, the time will show how good current Navi are ;)

Sorry bruvvv, Zyppan and friends - already taken and imho sounds better and more genuine in the context. And yes, they can win trophies ;)

Oh, hello to you as well.

I Agree on what you wrote in your second line: "people disagreed with me last time, i must work harder."

F*** YES! Work HARDER... How harder, you ask? Much and much HARDER! Or quit altogether...

Good luck!

Love your honesty and humane approach... +1

Imagine he will eventually get on some global event etc (though used to be easier before ofc), and will fall victim to inexperience and/or overstepping due to his fans' or "fans" expectations... and then imagine that heavy backlash <-- could inevitably happen one day.

SkRossi, as you mentioned, is a very decent player (trying to advance his career and experience)... and there is no reason to praise or criticise him right now as he is only attempting to advance. However, his fan base is either blinded or brain dead altogether, and that they fail to recognise that such player's advertisement is not working in his favour (I kind of feel sorry for him, ngl.) They don't seem to understand that if a player is in the development stage, it would be far more reasonable to go and contribute some $ on his stream to make his life easier rather than speak rivers here.... <-- it's f-ing hard to talk sense, especially on here (sorry for the toxicity)

P.S. The above is just a reflection on the matter, excluding this thread - most likely appears to be an old echo of trolling on the SkRossi theme. Gday!

Yeah, they could make as much as they want... including multi hidden mmr groups within only one mode and/or per agents - what I initially meant. They don't reveal anything to us to avoid potential abusing issues, unfourtunately.
One more detail was that one of those MMR groups can be seen by the community through API but others will always remain hidden (I've never tested that though)

True... but even that hidden MMR is not as simple as it seems - there are several hidden MMR groups that are taken into consideration. I mean we do realise that it is some crucial factor in our progression within the game but it is extremeIy difficuilt to set fairness scale for such multi-MMR system imho, not to say to go off or make a simple mistake. Unfourtunately, I can't provide the source but, if I recall correctly, the leak by one of the DEVs on Reddit revealed that there were more than two MMR groups. The question that has been asked is how many of those MMR groups are there...

Your old office mouse most likely had a polling rate of 250hz - if typical cheap office mouse... The Viper Mini can be set to 1000hz. In practise, a higher polling rate will smooth the game while also reducing the already minimal sensor latency (not to be confused with the m1/m2 click latency).

Instead of the standard sensor ring/rectangle, etc. type of glide surrounding the sensor, all Viper minis used to come with this stupid sensor ring that is part of the actual plastic bottom - case shell. Users, including myself, have reported that their viper mini did not feel smooth on the mouse pad, but rather extremely scratchy/draggy. The working solution for this is to cut that protruding rectangle off the bottom shell plate with some sharp DIY knife to flatten the area surrounding the sensor.

Another annoyance is that the Viper mini (VP) comes with a Pixart 3359. This sensor does not have your typical L/M/H LOD settings in the Synapse, but rather a padwise LOD settings that need to be calculated or whatever, which are not ideal in my opinion. However, I'm not sure about you, but I can't play on the VP's default high LOD. The working solution for this is to apply a piece of black tape that extends from the inner bottom wall of the sensor ring up to 8 millimetres in order to achieve your 1 millimetre LOD. Basically, you will be covering a lower plastic part of the sensor(or which is attached on the sensor tbc) to get your desired LOD... and there is only one setting which is low LOD from doing so.

I highly rate Viper mini and Deathadder mini as they both are extremely good, scoring 2.3ms and 2.1ms on the click latency chart ( https://www.rtings.com/mouse/tests/control/latency ) which is extremely low compared to any other mice, and their 8.5k dpi sensor is more than capable of producing some good results. However, if you have wider palms, you'll need to work your way around these two mice (VP in your case) to get a good grip because they can feel extremely small/light to control at times.

Agreed... a complete reset with no merit for previous acts' achievments! They can always play around this idea by making reset periods longer or not weighing the RR(-/+) for those who had higher/lower rankings in previous acts - flat and fair

Or at least, alternatively, revert to the pre - "JAN/2021 update" ranking system style.

Edit: A word merit over credit sounds better in the context.

Oh, bruv... it's a MESS!

I'll leave out the rest... for now.... but please finish this phrase for me because I can't seem to discover any definitions or ideas that you've studied:
Developing teams is a misnomer; it does not imply development as such... ---> But what precisely is a "misnomer"... what is the variable's value? Is it a qual or a quant value, given that you opened your mouth on factor scores... then where are the reliability test results and the entire factor analysis (ethical merits do not measure in quant values but qual)... but then what does it mean to develop? How does this relate to the framework that you'd never explained?

^^^ I COULD GO ON LIKE THAT FOREVER!

Please keep on topic of defining your conflicting variable "misnomer" and its relationship to the framework... by the way, in brief framework or theoretical framework - findings on the examined phenomena that have already been explored by others. Frameworks define and fully present all variables/factors or metrics in specific sections of research papers, if you will, and OF COURSE its model(s) as well... the question ---> what sources/references do you have to support your thesis??? There are non ... i.e. that poor poisson dist. formula that you even wrote incorrectly should have been studied in those papers, and presented as a significant distribution for such sampling method** ... yet nothing from you... Why did you select the poisson distribution over others such as the normal distribution etc?

You: "I believe I've made myself clear and answered your queries."
Me: "NO, YOU HAVE NOT... as advise, if you by any chance study those topics at university, then get your shit together and sit down to study - you are all over the place... no cap"

P.S. Econ/Math grad here ;)

Edit: Moved --> #27

Why do you believe that "developing teams" are truly attempting to develop... or particularly to develop something? As well as, how do you quantify the unit of your so-called "development?" Is there any measure of equalness of it to something or not?

If you think about it deeper, the problem of "ethical merits" may not be seen as a problem at all, but rather as an outmoded outcome of previously actioned and tested conditional bounds by those who you refer to as developing teams... Doesn't it all make sense? If that's the case, are you really following me here?

They simply shut down FPX without a sweat... DRX is 4 to 0 in maps from two series in this competition... I have no explanations for what on earth..., but that DRX's forthcoming matches will be much tougher, and they will probably lose - not because I back FPX... This will further blow my mind out of proportion because I've never understood such deviFUCKINGations in pro... I'm not sure why, but I sense SUS in all of that. Yet GGWP DRX

happy for you

Thanks again!

They are both effective and cause me to gain weight, especially barbell rows. First, I'd typicaly hit some heavy barbell rows, followed by one or two-handed dumble or cable rows off the bench as an isolation killer. On the other back day, I'd start with some weighted pull-ups, followed by one or two-handed cable or hammer style lat pulldowns...

However, here is the thing - an effective barbell row workout requires previously developed stability or stabilising muscles... Simply put, bros who avoid such compounds have weak stabilising muscles, not to mention that the actual exercise is incredibly energy consuming.

That was a 200 IQ reply... Plated and played flawlessly.

Surprised that some focus on the supposed n-word rather than the actual meaning.

Hey, great digging... great postmatch review... love the format ... GOOD JOB! - same goes for your previous posts!

Despite the controversy, the entire match exceeded my expectations in a good way, particularly the Ascent map.

P.S. Ignoring the TURRET in the room for a moment, I'll remember this disgusting shot from Ange1 for a long time... left me somewhat speechless... still buzzing https://clips.twitch.tv/CallousLittleSnakeMau5-OVWnxzqS-uPLvGuA Ohhhhh...

• Sens: 0.315/0.355/0.377
• Dpi: 800 (could do 1k Dpi for WIN but will match the eDpi below)
• eDpi: 252/284/302

What exactly do you mean by "single-handedly?" It's usually mentioned when someone WINS the entire series for their team. However, Acend lost that series, and Ardiis differed cNed by +2k over three maps, owing to a minor kills differential - yet still differential.

https://www.vlr.gg/107527/funplus-phoenix-vs-acend-champions-tour-emea-stage-2-challengers-playoffs-lr1/?game=all&tab=performance PERFORMANCE TAB

cNed is a superb player, but there's no need to unfairly/misinformfully elevate him above other outstanding duelists, given that he'd been equally outmatched by Sayf and others in earlier matchups.

Shao and SUYGETSU

I agree with you in general... Personally, I wouldn't boo teams I don't support or similar... but I believe I have no say, if someone who paid for a ticket decides to boo whatever they want... At the end of the day, it's their opinion/freedom to do so... We just cannot judge someone in this regard, regardless of how it is seen.

🖕

ELEAGUE Major: Boston 2018... cough... cough...

^^^Have you ever/even watched that?

Exactly ... home crowd advantage is common... Stop pointing fingers.

Aye, grouping appeared a little odd at times ngl... though several factors are beyond the control of teams. It also would have been nice to see some analysis on how teams, from the same regions - who were grouped together, did on average ...or something. It'd help in revealing the absolute strength of those teams ... I mean there are couple of more indicators for such estimations, though this would have been nice to see. Also, VLR itself can include such section in one of their tabs.

BTW... So far, XSET has done exceptionally well in this competition. And Extremely ngl, I was disappointed to see them gone too early the last time from the masters. I've always known they have the potential/skill set to play some of the finest Valorant in the game - massive no cap.

He said there Optic/Envy skew the picture with most points for NA region ... also highest variance in falling off for NA (obv. excluding Otpic/Envy).

^^^This is something certain NA or... VLR members (not all NA members/streamers but the certain ones) DO NOT TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION when voicing their opinions on here or wherever.

All they had to do is follow VLR forums... how unusual it might not sound to some, but we have some of the TOP QUALITY threads on the topic... like this one from @anay to clear the picture and bias: https://www.vlr.gg/130378/best-region

It is always great to see high-quality, knowledge-enhancing threads posted on here!

Inb4: Sucked my mom's tits, have too much time on my hands... etc etc.

CrimsonPride's closer: "...also give stats how asuna is better than tenz. if u can't then put your moms head in ur ass." - ignoring some out of place context, this individual is asking to provide Asuna vs. TenZ stats in thread where Asuna's "averageness" and "impactfulness" is being argued.

---> Bruv, DO YOU EVEN READ?

Hello sunshine, TenZ is/was not part of this THREAD!

I up-fragged your reply above, as well as #43 - the reply you'd down-fragged... just saying ;)

Cheers ... the game was actually amaizing in its own right... though... expected a different result, yet taking on the chin like an atta boi here ... no probs <3

...

Eddit:
DisFclaimer: Only and only for those who for f-known reason love to misinterpret... The expression that the person responded, "taking on the chin like an atta boi here" - meant that the person in question is going through a DEFEAT mood/feeling/boner anything you name it... mainly because he originally backs FPX. Thanks!

Please refrain from giving that statement a BS interpretation! Thanks.

^^^Spoiler part though - overly revealing... imho

Excellent performance from XSET; excellent HW preps, without a doubt... Nailing Breeze and general form = completely deserved the victory... coming from FPX supporter <3

Ohh look who's late to the party... CrimsonPride himself?
Please forgive me for always mistaking your nickname with CringePrat; I can't help it.

So ...

How many more posts from various OPs on here have you copied in replies to them already, in the belief that you are being so UWU clever?

OR

On the more healthier note, don't go that DEEP with me... you won't last.

Listen, I simpy pointed out where you were wrong in saying Asuna - impactless and a very average player ... during his Berlin masters ... nothing more or less. Don't mold such great players with your shitty fingers, bruv... And BTW...

If you didn't want to read "all of that" and that and so on... then ---->>> G.T.F.O

"STFU TenZ owns him anyway." - Well, In which dream of yours TenZ owns him, the lucid or the wet one?

I do agree with Trick on that, though... nothing contradicts in his words ... this is exactly where I wanted to correct the OP as he is way off here... it is simply the shortest format as I can't get into a report as it will be unneeded here ... Just to make clear that I don't talk about KD directly ... it's only FKPR that I raise for a duelist and that is a crucial indicator wich the OP failed to see which is not surprising though ... but I also agree with Trick, as in team tact games there are roles played and not always one will be fragging left and right, to achieve a perfectly playable situation for their team's win.

Whether your observations were intended to be accurate or merely a shitpost, you must be insane or brain dead to classify Asuna at LAN as impactless and average (see #14). Please forgive me but I'll follow with a rather long breakdown below...

1. Average:
   Out of 78 players, the averages for that masters in Berlin - 194ACS and 132ADR. Asuna achieved scores of 247ACS and 157ADR, placing him in the tournament's TOP5 and TOP12 spots, respectively. He was no way near average on the LAN - though, basing your argument off term - "average," which meaning you clearly fail to uderstanding, reveals alot about your thought process.

2. Impact:
   Asuna placed 3rd–4th in the competition with a 0.22FKPR (first kill per round; FK/RND) rate. His performance is among TOP4 (shared with YAY) of the entire competition in this category. Only 3 players have acheived better scores while also played fewer rounds - therefore their score may eventually level off when more rounds were played. --> cough ... cough ... shitting on certain players you're indirectly shitting on others too ;) HOWEVER...

Asuna's TOP4 in FKPR is an actually an exceptionally high and respectable result for a duelist in INTL LAN appearance which should have cleared any doubts about his crucial influence on the game as a duelist, if there were any ofc. Claiming that he is impactless is simply wrong by way too many wrong estimations (you already showed us how much you know about "averages"... no more comments). Where in reality FKPR, together with ACS/ADR, actually do reveal us a good shre of an impact of a player in question on the game. How could you fail to see that is out of my understanding ... or maybe you could share a better indicators of a great impact on the game?

3. Result:
   If you can't look at historical data and make sense of it, let alone draw valid conclusions about some pro's impact in the game, either you are unable to work with estimations or you should really stop trying because it is simply not your field - tbh even for a shitpost, it was a low grade attempt... but whatever.

I'll leave you with the link below in regards to who carried who; who knows, maybe something positive will come of it, instead of shitting on a well deserved - respectful players: https://www.vlr.gg/event/stats/466/valorant-champions-tour-stage-3-masters-berlin?exclude=&min_rounds=0&agent=all

LMAO... why am I laughing to this... Ican't :lurkemode:

Glad to help ;)

One thing, the mice I mentioned above are all ergonomic in design and, generally speaking, fall within the allowable deviation from model D's size range to be considered as its replacement without compromising on shape/size for the players.

Though if you feel like you still need a more accurate view/comparison, then try: https://www.rtings.com/mouse/tools/3d-model-shape-compare?

or

https://www.eloshapes.com/index.html?mouse=Razer%20DeathAdder%20V3%20Pro&mouse=Glorious%20Model%20D%20Wireless&mouse=VAXEE%20OUTSET%20AX&mouse=Zowie%20EC2-C
...

Edit: Added another source for mice shapes comparisons.

Unfortunately, r/MouseReview is flooded with complaints concerning gaming mice made by Glorious. One of the most common complaints from consumers was and continues to be the disconnection issue (all range of their mice, actually).

However, if you enjoy its ergo shape, you might want to consider some other mice like the latest Razer Deathadder V3 PRO, Pulsar Xlite V2 or V2 mini, Skoll Mini SK-S ACE, Zowie EC2-C, EC3-C or Vaxee OUTSET AX. All of the listed products are better than Glorious in terms of general QC/internals and, are excellent choices for any serious gamer as each of them has previously established a solid reputation among the pros - also goes in hand with the enthusiasts of the gaming industry.

It's obviously OK if atm you can't spend money on a new mouse, but thing won't become better with Glorious until they completely rewrite the internals for all of their mice ... this stupid issue with their mice has been going on, seems like forever, yet they haven't listened to the feedback from the usres, let alone done anything to fix it - a massive red flag for any serious mice consumer!

Wish you all the best!

EDIT: Typo: light -> flag

+1 and W for the potential ORG ... Moose is cracked... As per recent performances, he has made some significant improvements, which speaks plenty about his commitment to the game.

Solid additions to the team... congrats and good luck!

The problem can be identified using "WhoCrashed," ... also the same DEVS offer free of charge "LatencyMon," which may assist you further in optimising your system. But make sure you know how to use them by looking them out online or however you choose to as there are couple of nuances you need to know beforehand.

One more thing, especially in WIN11(though not as much in WIN10... but still), if Discord (DS) is being used during Valorant, then you should preferably set the following in DS -> settings -> voice & video -> switch off "debug logging" ... and similarly in DS settings -> advanced -> switch off "hardware acceleration." - just some recent working fixes for DS.

Lastly, try to reproduce the condition that existed at the time of the crash and then deduct one at the time, asking... "were there any other apps open while Valorant was running, such as DS or the browser and so on?" If... then, "Could some of those app's driver(s) or service(s) cause the clash/issue?" This way, you may eventually encounter system-specific issues that are only unique to your current setup +"LatencyMon" app will help you in that as it goes in hand with similar "top-down" system investigations.

Still the number of potenial causes could be large... Best of luck!

EDIT: Added DS temp fixes and some suggestions.

Dex is obviously correct, though: Ayrin and Marved cannot be included in the same impact group when discussing best players of the region (such as the smoker group, etc.). I don't wish to offend either Ayrin or you; I'm merely stating a critical opinion. Players like Marved deserve respect and recognition simply because they have demonstrated that they are quite exceptional/consistent in their roles for a long time. I'm surprised you didn't bring up any other players, like Supamen... when NA Smokes cluster is taken into consideration, they should be mentioned. Also, lots of the finest players are absent from the conversation in other regions (i.e. such as EMEA). Players like nAts are not looked at at all. But I'll leave that at it as the task is quite vast and not the easy one.

Recent Marved/Ayrin performances:

• https://www.vlr.gg/event/stats/1014/valorant-champions-tour-stage-2-masters-copenhagen

A little historic note...

Around this time, dual-smoker comps began... the Bind map from FPX vs. FNC:

https://www.vlr.gg/7100/sumn-fc-vs-funplus-phoenix-first-strike-europe-main-event-sf/?game=11890&tab=overview

It then spread to further teams. It is said to have started with FPX in scrims, but SUMN FC (FNC today) swiftly perfected it. Also, SUMN FC was referred to as mini FPX (or budget FPX) back in the day since majority of their strats were quite similar to those used by FPX at the time. SUMN FC, nevertheless, still did a great job in achieving success in general.

Today, dual-smoker comps are widely used by many teams across all regions.
