literally who the fuck cares he was the best player in 2022, who wouldn't have an ego. lmfao so parasocial for what

he made like 2 comments anyway

Yay literally performed badly in a few games of Tier 2 in a team that was destined to fail because of it's lack of structure. Did you see the coms videos from DSG, it looked like a match of premier.

People were quick to pit all of the blame onto him and he received an overbearing and unwarranted biblical wave of hatred because of it.

Ya'll weren't making these threads when RRQ lost that 2v5 though?

The whole world shit on him, and he performed badly because of that. Thank you for proving my point, he adds to the track record of pros that crumble to an unwarranted level of hate and criticism (although I think SkRossi was slightly deserving of SOME criticism)

The mental game is a fair reason to justify the underperformance of some players.

ONE example you fucking tart(I literally said it was the only example I could think of too) and it took him a whole year to come back from it; him and Kyedae even talked about how much it weighed him down.

Aspas did not recieve the same level of hate as Yay. Yay has whole social media accounts dedicated to dumping on him.

brother what are you saying

They will have nowhere near enough time to fix it all

There's far too much that they need to work on

There are a very small pool of players that meet the same level of criticism as Yay. Hello?? Honestly the only other player I can think of was TenZ last year.

They're both dogshit and they won't do anything this year so who cares

This is a website for Valorant eSports in general lmfao. I don't wanna talk about yay because everything that you could say about him has been said 1000 times before.

If I were new to Valorant and you had told me that this team had 2 title winning players I would actually laugh in your face

Literally none of these teams look even okay

dude LMFAO

TYLOO, All Gamers and Nova eSports exist

There's a whole tiktok account dedicated to Yay?

I still think that Bleed are better, just because a team wins against another team once does not mean that they are indefinitely better, if that were the case then this game would be incredibly boring.

The two top teams in NA are always some iteration of the old OpTic core alongside a pretty new team

1. T1
2. Talon
3. Bleed eSports
4. Global eSports

COOK

desperation lmfao

Dude has been watching the past 3 years of Valorant eSports with a blindfold on

DRX management happened

understandably, i can imagine he's super uncomfortable on this english speaking roster as somebody that had never spoken english before

If this guy's career gets ruined by this I'm going to be distraught

KOI, Global eSports and I'm sure there's a Chinese team that's worse

Zest has been put in a terrible spot though. He can barely speak English I can't imagine he's comfortable on this team.

Jemkin clears 🥱

RRQ would unironically shatter Team Liquid

I understand that if you aren't doing well, you'd naturally want to make changes to your roster, but I feel like the Ascension teams should have to keep at least 3/5 of the players that won Ascension for the first year that they are in partnership because after all, they are the players that earned it. With BLEED it feels so strange because only 2 of these players were on that Ascension team and if this iteration of the team competed in Ascension now, they would not have won that tournament.

Is this guy goated all of a sudden? looks great on Apeks

france

why are you reminding us

WHAT THE FUCK LMFAOOOO

keep it in ur panties dude

There's nothing wrong with a 30 year old man twerking and doing Tik Tok dances on stage and crying on camera

Every grown man I've ever met does this and thinks its normal!

We must not accept it!

At least he has personality lmfao. I don't know why vlr loves to complain so much especially considering most others pros have the personality of a wooden plank. Seems so fragile to complain about somebody dancing on stage

You'll live

It's not that deep

Right!

FNATIC literally watched GIANTX vs Karmine Corp on Breeze, saw that GIANTX suck on this map and decided to pick Breeze versus them without second thought lmfao

And I said that we can't say that it's Elmapuddy's fault

What I'm saying: we can't say that it's not Elmapuddy's fault just because mini is there.

I'm not saying that it's not Elmapuddy's fault just because Mini is there, but the fault is not entirely on him; which a worrying amount of people are saying. You're being so aggressive for no reason, stop being a butthurt loser and shut the fuck up.

so you're barking up the wrong tree.

I think you need to take a lesson out of your own book because I literally implied that we can't say that it's Elma's fault lmfao

put him on raze for a reason

Why wouldn't we be talking about Boaster? In my original comment I literally referred to Boaster, he is of equal importance to Elmapuddy.

But I feel like with practice regiments and development of protocols surely they'd stick with what worked last year? that's not something that they have to switch up or change; but again with our level of uncertainty of what goes on behind the scenes we can't really talk much on it- for all we know they didn't change it at all, though regardless I can see how feedback during timeouts may make a difference.

I'm just tired of seeing people throw the entire blame onto Elma, when he isn't the only one providing concepts and strats.

They won Tokyo after this btw

That's not exactly the case.

1. Every team's coaching staff has different structure; sure, the method which you brought up is one of the most notorious ways to run your coaching staff but you don't entirely know what goes on behind the scenes.
2. You're limiting both Boaster and Mini to submissive little robots who don't offer their own opinions regarding concepts that Elma comes up with or concepts that they come up with themselves. Sure, Elma is the head coach, but Boaster and Mini aren't going to go through with a concept that they don't agree with or believe in.

Chronicle has previously played Raze though

I have faith in Alfajer Raze though
