Good luck

with your "not a washed boomer" life ...

BTW, cheers, you've left me quite amused with your nonsense 😘

Go to bed, kid... still not ab1e - grade D at most 😘🍿

I could be 26 with kids - just sayin 🍿

I don't watch live streams at all due to those RESPONSOBILITIES I brought up above ... only highlights on valorantmundi's channel ... I think you're mistaken me with someone else, no?

If you think STEEL is washed, then be it - your opinion.

Dunno, the convo is on Ange1 ... reading comprehension - all checked, right? Steel sounds like your obsession to me, bud.

Glad that you have figured that out 😘

kid

GET LOST with your STEEL obsession! <3

Ohh, we're being on the rude side today or what... sup

OMG... no way - I'm such an asshole ;) <3

Sure, it's up to you to discover as a homework ;) I'll just mention a clue about the responsibilities of adulthood - which you'll also uncover eventually lmao.

There's a study available online regarding reflexes and other factors in pro-gaming... peak performance, particularly in terms of reflexes, for index/middle fingers is around 39 years of age or so. This age represents the peak, rather than a stage of decline. So in this regard Ange1 is fine.

ohh C9

Good luck 💪❤️

Wow... GL

No, he is not... He is one of the best ever - up to DATE 😉

P.S. If you wish to argue the point, then please do SO, but make sure to provide a well-structured and comprehensively explained argument, including all the essential details to support it, ensuring clarity for better understanding, right?" Otherwise.... 💨

And you got to forgive me for demanding so much from you... It's just that there has been an OVERWHELMING amount of BULLSHIT flying on recently.

Thank you very much! 🍻

I have to manage a substantial volume of email exchanges daily, and they often require sticking to a formal style. It's become somewhat of a routine for me, tbh. On occasion, though, I do apply external paraphrasing tools like Quillbot (best in the game - imho) to refine certain expressions. On the contrary, the capabilities of ChatGPT today have reached an entirely unprecedented level—truly impressive, and would be wiser to use it for such tasks over any other paraphraser, I'd say. And I've used both extensively, but only Quiullbot out of the two - during my academia.

I also want to emphasize that while using external tools, you can still enhance your paraphrasing abilities and your overall mastery of the language. However, it's important to approach this improvement deliberately. Instead of mindlessly rephrasing text, take into account the results it gives you, and think about the layers of expression, in the context of your text and overall thesaurus usage. Also consider even building your own library of phrases - this practice can be incredibly valuable for advancing your language skills to the next level. <-- no matter how good you are already, you will get even better.

P.S. A wee note: I made an error in my phrasing when I said "multi-dimensional" instead of "a HIGH dimension." I sometimes wrongly phrase that expression verbally as well, even though it should actually be "high order of dimension" rather than simply "multi-dimensional," as it already implies multiple dimensions from the get go.

GLuck ❤️

Aye, and considering the "ever-changing intricacies of agent roles, nerfs, buffs, new meta-agents, prevailing metas, and comps," the depth of analysing the diverse agents and their influence in the multi-dimensional game – be it strategic planning or mere statistics – is astoundingly vast and intricate compared to CS, which operates on a more 2-3 dimensional level rather than the multifaceted layers present in Valorant.

From a mechanical standpoint, you're just as vulnerable to being defeated by your enemy as they are by you, right? Judging by HS vs. HS scenarios. The intensity is palpable, whether in MM or Global tournament stage, especially with the slower movement and abilities that further decelerate you. It's genuinely intense, in my opinion.

Oh god ... it looks like another measuring season is in place ... and don't get me started on all of the differences between the games.

I will just say one thing:

Please, understand this one thing --> Just as Valorant's shooting might feel more easier than CS's, so it's equally easier for your opponents to take you down in the game. This means while you might find shooting simpler in Valorant, the same advantage is extended to your enemy, which essentially, amplifies the challenge and competitive nature of Valorant, especially noticeable in duels, given the notably slower movement speed in Valorant compared to CS. Can you survive the round, let alone impacting towards the win? <-- This argument alone can counter any claims about CS being the tougher game. And we don't even touch on the evolving complexities of agent roles/nerfs/buffs and meta/coms adjustments in Valorant <-- shit is not that easy, at the end of the day.

Aye, as I pointed out earlier: "The greater the number, the lower the chances of skewed patterns." This also underscores that, in my opinion, Scream has maintained a level of consistency that ranks him among the BEST.

Yes, ScreaM is definitely one of the GREATEST players/talents in VALORANT.

In case of averages, below is the TOP 11 HS% - ALL-TIME - Only GLOBAL S-TIER tournaments (800+ RND):

PLAYER    RND    HS%     R      ACS     KD      ADR     KPR     DPR    KPR-DPR

P.S. Something to clarify - inb4:

1. Why focus solely on GLOBAL S-TIER tournaments data? Because it's believed to showcase the elite competing against the elite.
2. And why consider 800+ RND? The higher the number, the less likelihood of biased trends.
3. Lastly, there's also a wee KPR-DPR diff column in the chart. This can be interpreted in various ways, but essentially, it represents the net result of kills relative to one's deaths per round in the game — with a higher number indicating better performance.

Now, it's time for ZmjjKK to overtake the summit of +31 <-- preferably further 31+

P.S. Ngl, I've not updated this table https://www.vlr.gg/267040/most-kills-in-one-series-on-international-level/#24 since the lower-finals. However, it needed to be corrected! 🍻

My child, it's called sampling - no cap😘

Aye, plus some Breeze action - some of the CRACKED games, and innovative as MUCH too - simply nAts at his BEST!

Just to refresh some memories, I'll link this too: https://www.vlr.gg/34979/envy-vs-gambit-esports-valorant-champions-tour-stage-3-masters-berlin-gf

P.S. I swear, short memory syndrome is booming these days.

Not much, really... just copied it from here: https://www.vlr.gg/post/2795127/most-kills-in-one-series-on-international-level

Also, ask yourself: Why isn't there much discussion about the highest Operator kills in a single international S-Tier tournaments when it comes to one's Operator capability? ... or maybe Marshall capability if assessing snipers ...?

That's right, this is because a record of 127 OP kills - in a single S-Tier tournament --> and which still stands to this day was set by no other than YAY himself 😉

Oh, and it was also YAY who set a record of 29 Marshall kills in a single international S-Tier tournament, during the tournament where he also was the TOP 1 in OP kills. Remarkably, 4 times Yay secured the top 1 spot for OP kills in total --> and even more....

Sorry for getting a bit too deep ... It's just very popular to have short memory these days... the good thing, though, there's always someone who isn't affected by that shortcoming <3

Alright, since you mentioned (Kangkang>yay), from the get go, I will say that such inequality is not correct but the following --> YAY >> ZmjjKK is the correct one.

TEAM     NAME     RND     R    ACS    ADR   KPR     FKPR    FDPR    KD      HS    CL
NV/OPTC  yay     1757   1.21  255.2  162.1  0.90    0.19    0.12    1.34    25%   18%
EDG      ZmjjKK   877   1.05  246.7  152.4  0.86    0.21    0.14    1.17    21%   15%
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE       DIFF    xxx   0.16   8.55   9.64  0.04   -0.016  -0.025   0.177   3.9%  3.7%

I deliberately examined the data on a PER ROUND basis, not any other statistic. This indicates that YAY has a more significant impact per round than ZmjjKK, as evident from the table provided.

The total number of rounds is not a primary concern since we are focusing on averages. If anything, YAY's position might be even more unfavourable since he played more rounds, making it more challenging to maintain such high averages. Nonetheless, ZmjjKK's 877 rounds seem adequate for this comparison.

Additionally, YAY's KILL PER ROUND (KPR) of 0.9 ranks him as TOP 1 globally in international tournaments. This implies that, on average, YAY outperforms every other professional Valorant player in international S-tier events when it comes to kills per round.

Regarding the provided link, measuring kills by per MAP is deceptive, as maps can be played for an undefined duration unless rules dictate otherwise, meaning there's no fixed TIME for a map to conclude. As such, KPR stands out as a far more credible statistic for KILLS, given that it's calculated per ROUND, which operates within a time constraint. Furthermore, without specific context, we don't know which map was being discussed. Different maps have varied gameplay dynamics. Hence, comparing one player's performance on Bind to another's on Split isn't accurate or fair. Using a per MAP measurement is already flawed, and such an approach will undoubtedly lead to biased outcomes!"

Hope I helped to clear out the BIAS 😉

For starters, I personally, wouldn't mind a player other than YAY or nAts ... achieve a DIFF of +31 kills or more in an international series final, whether it's the Lower/Upper or Grand Final.

As of now, only nAts and Yay have managed to hit that milestone:

  +--------------------------------------------------------||------------------------+
  | TEAM    PLAYER  W/L    VS.       KILLS  DIFF KMAX RND  || BEST-MAP  ACS/BEST-MAP |
  +--------------------------------------------------------||------------------------+
  | GAMBIT  nAts     L   vs. ACEND     93    +31  29  107  ||  Fracture     394      |                     
  | OPTIC   Yay      W   vs. DRX       91    +31  23  102  ||  Haven        282      |
  +--------------------------------------------------------||------------------------+

And of course, it's not the only record from Yay....

EDIT ----> Thanks to @4ch1p4p4, the statement is corrected in reply #48 ---> The record of +31 has been reached by nAts, Yay, and Demon1 - however, it is yet to be surpassed.

Is Keznit MOST impactful player to ever play for KRU?

YES, HE IS!

Honestly, SADGE... Keznit is like a locomotive – always moving forward and ploughing through the opponents, ngl.

Sorry, I know 2023 is discussed but I'll drop individual stats, only including all of their VCT international showings since the beginning <-- also a fair comparison, nevertheless.

In my post above, the term "LIKELY," indicates that my statement isn't absolute... The inclusion of "(apologies if I'm mistaken here)" further reveals the possibility that the details might not be entirely accurate. These warning/hinting notes are present in statements that contradict potentially misinforming claims. PERIOD

Therefore, the MISINFORMATION you're pointing out is nowhere to be found. But labelling someone as being misinforming can actually be found <-- in your reply, to be exact... a rather strong accusation of something that is neither viewed nor read as misinformation, I'd say.

Good job on the progress!
Btw, nice outfits in June 2023 too 😉

YOU: "don't spread misinformation." - what???

Dude, what MISINFORMATION are YOU TALKING ABOUT???

Good stuff! Glad that you've worked it out <3

Alright, it's possible that one of the sticks is defective, even if it's brand new straight from the package (I've had this before). Depending on the specific issue, it might prevent you from posting or running memtest, among other things (had this as well). Jumping forward, however, in my opinion, with Ryzen, there's no real need to overclock them - simply setting a profile should suffice.

You might consider running memtest with two sticks at 2666mhz to see their performance and eliminate any issues. After that, try setting them above 2666 but below 3200 and test again <-- It's hard to give a definitive answer here. I've had sticks that wouldn't allow me to post, and I've also had a set similar to yours that eventually began working. If I recall correctly, I had to update the BIOS or something along those lines, which is also a weird solution IMHO, as your sticks are from G skill-b-dies, which are well-regarded and of a good standard <-- have been this way for long enough time. It's difficult to provide specific advice, but I'd recommend to run the test above. It's already somewhat a good thing that they function at 2666mhz, though there might be an issue with the generic profile, even if there ideally shouldn't be.

You might also consider lowering the voltage to see how they would behave, as this could likely be the primary concern (maybe...) However, it's still hard to definitively rule out other potential issues at this point.

Also try sticking them in different sockets, and also consider there could be problem with mobo etc

As mentioned, I once had a brand new RAM set, and after spending a lot of time troubleshooting, I ended up returning them because one of the sticks was defective right out of the brand new box <-- It was hard for me to come to terms with such scenario, though.

Reset the CMOS by taking out the battery... it seems there's a pre-existing BIOS profile that's conflicting with your RAM.

Wo xiang yao mi mi ... gei wo mi mi ... seng deng... shenme???

hehe... F-it ... you'd be more than fine with just Wolfram... you can get Maple Calc app for your phone if you need but for unlimited steps you'd need a paid subscription which depending on your budget may be okeyish ... but essentially, with khan's or/and other stuff it should be more than enough.

One more thing though, If you're into tutorial vids similar to khan, check out mathtutordvd guy <-- he's pretty good in explaining some of the complicated topics, putting them into easy to grasp scenarios etc.

No, not bad at all but rather a decent degree with a wide range of business studies and its computational aspects. Typically, an accounting degree plus additional qualifications, which take about three more years to complete (ACA, ACCA etc), will secure you a job <-- what else do you need?

However, given the current-uncertain climate, you may want to focus on tax rather than audit side of accounting. This could lead to a more stable job, possibly in government, in my opinion - somewhat of a job security given the challenging conditions about to unfold. <-- but don't quote me on that.

In terms of career options, engineering continues to be a reliable choice, and fields like computer science, as well as software engineering, are particularly promising given their recent and future growth.

P.S. Working in IB, premier consulting firms, and elite law practices is far from a cakewalk; actually, it's more of a slavery for up to three years. Having connections through family or industry pillars can make it easier, but generally speaking, aside from a prestigious line on your CV and exposure to high-level corporate culture, I'd question its overall value <-- I must add a caveat: there's no definitive advice on this, even from those who have been in or cycled through the Big 4/8 firms, as outcomes can vary.

However, experience in white-collar professions is generally viewed favourably. And yes, make sure you excel at an Ivy League or other top global university before even thinking about pursuing these high-stakes careers 😉

Aye, LATEX for which I used a free of charge Overleaf cloud <-- pretty convenient and handy on the go editor.

Now also one word on the solver too... as technically you have the option to use Wolfram's API through GPT-4 by adding Wolfram as a plug-in <-- but in the paid GPT-4 version. The chat GPT part comes just as an interpreter (and pretty f-ing good one as expected) for the solver to break down the wording into algebraic form ... etc.

Regarding capabilities, both Wolfram's Mathematica and Maple were/are pretty good known calculus solvers - I remember using more Mathematica for calc but on occassions would also use Maple for linear algebra (don't recall why I specifically choose Maple over Mathematica for LinAlg though...) too back in the days before GPT. So, they have been known for their ability to get you going, beside Matlab.

Saying I'm incredibly impressed would be an understatement 🤯, as with the above combo, you could get a clear step by step explanations, and If something isn't clear, you have the option to ask for further clarification <-- this was not possible during my times, but HolyyyF... - amazing how it makes self-study so much easier, though not sure how topic of integration would be dealt, and in what details, with said method.

Aye, from the older gen... there's also arch but he's a wee off on overall impact through fragging, and perhaps a couple of more players...

Use GPT-4 --> Wolfram plug-in

Same as #11 .... <3

I'll add the steps for the first question under your reply since ... , just in case 😉

https://i.imgur.com/e4gwBfG.png

Oh, I see... China is really cooking over there, and it wouldn't be unexpected if the results turn out to be impressive.
As for the team line-up, honestly, SmartSeven should know better... maybe there's an undiscovered talent is being considered etc.

However, to highlight the overall problem with tactical shooters, Valorant or similar, there's a lack of younger players (or any generation, for that matter) who are good or even alright at IGLing, which is completely reasonable since duellists attract all the focus, leading one to aspire to become one rather countless hours watching VODs end planning things with your coach etc.

The whole situation actually puts orgs in a somewhat unfavourable position from the get go, with fewer good options at hand and, to be honest, simply being trapped. A solution of some sort needs to be found for this, and orgs must elevate the status of other roles so that the desire for success aligns more with the position itself too, rather than solely focusing on being a frontline attacker, which is also essential but not at the expense of overall balance in the game/team <-- this shit will never get old, I SWEAR.

Aye, MiniBoo should be able to speak or at least understand the laung... Though in either scenario, whether falltw or vo0kashu is considered, amidib and pyrolll would probably be a suitable options for Breach/Skye and perhaps Sova. However, having falltw would be preferable since decent IGLing required.
Not entirely perfect, but quite available choices. However, players like Jady would be PERFECT fit for the team, although his availability is uncertain.

P.S. Finding a skilled Breach is quite challenging, and sort of always has been the case.

No worries, bro - all good 🍻

Well, by now, it's more than enough that we've introduced these players into the conversation. Frankly, arriving at a definite conclusion of their present condition, let alone their full potential, isn't a simple task --> the level of pro play has moved up quite evidently but who knows 😉 ... Also, I can see the point regarding other factors that might have influenced their stagnation, as potential scenarios have been unfolding at the time, especially during the closure of CIS. Hopefully, Chinese orgs would pick some of them up and get going.

Concerning B1sk, for sure, he stands out as an excellent player and is presently part of KPI with Insider/Smart7 (as a coach) <-- also a very skilled player IMHO. I omitted mentioning B1sk as him and Purp0 are already quite known around. Though that disband of Team Singularity, seemed to cause quite a stress, I'd say. The subsequent transition to the KPI phase appeared to have some unsettled things, considering he was performing exceptionally well during his peak at SNG <-- I mean, I am just assuming here and maybe, seeing things that might not be there.

In Shao's case, the transition was rather preferable into pros (I'd assume), as he'd already reached some recognition in his previous Warface... but the scene was still in pre-pro phase back then, and PartyParrots were more than a good start especially having such a knowledgeable person like Ange1 at his reach. Also, coaches and IGLs often play a role in facilitating transitions for new players, acting as performance mentors in the development. Though, the process of adapting a new game was never a challange (I guess) for highly skilled player like Shao, so things went rather natural and smooth for him, and in a good pair of hands.

Suygetsu's situation, on the other hand - a bit different, highlighting his commitment and self-discipline within org. He had to go through a process of playing for FORZE and grow from there with a coach at the time, Pnuh, who would struck anyone as someone who doesn't tolerate any BullShit <-- a quality I appreciate, ngl. Pnuh is also involved in real-life - ice hockey coaching and a former player. Given Suygetsu's innate talent, the conditions were there to his growth, Notably, his performance in the final against SNG, where he faced off against a peak Trexx, was truly remarkable. This match was an excellent opportunity to propel his career forward, and he rightfully deserved it. It's worth mentioning that SNG had previously eliminated Enghh's Gambit in the semi-finals a day earlier in a spectacular match that showcased Trexx's incredible skills from all directions - these were some truly intense matches.

Thanks, and aye, I'll leave my take in that thread 🍻

Nats belongs to the Tatar ethnic group, while Sheydos is likely Azerbaijani (apologies if I'm mistaken here). Russia, being a diverse nation (in this regard), encompasses more than 190 ethnic groups coexisting within its extensive territory. Among these are the Eastern Slavs as well as numerous other ethnicities, reflecting the multicultural nature of the country.
