This is the same thing that was performed in the past by ignorant ppl in regards to homosexual awareness. "Don't tell children about gay people because they'll become gay". We're simply repeating history
It's an advanced level of stupidity that unfortunately reached "normality" rates in some cultures, therefore they see it as "their truth/different view"
Sadly, intelligence and common sense are... not that common.
Reply to your previous ignorant justification of "I don't agree with"
Please elaborate.. what don't you agree with?
Do you not agree with the scientifically proven fact that someone's brain chemical compound consistently gives signals to the owner of said brain that they're not the gender that they were assigned at birth based on sex?
Do you not agree with their synapse flows?
Do you not agree with the major depressive disorder that the person is usually diagnosed with while trying to fight the signals from the brain and act as nothing is happening?
Do you not agree with the fact that there's different variations of cerebral chemical compounds, and therefore everyone is and should be simply the same, in order to match a "normality" meter arbitrarily created?
Or in reality you simply don't agree with things that you do not care to study and understand?
You don't need to mention racism, it goes without saying.
The thought process is the equivalent of saying "I don't agree with the fact that people from arabian penunisula have the necessary brain to function in a normal society, because their anatomy is different than mine" Just because I say "I don't agree with" does not make it not racist.
While the above statement might have some technical truths in it (yes, there's usually a different anatomy structure based on continental origins), it simply ignores a bunch of other scientifically defines truth in order to reach a "different view". And yes, you can call it a different view. That different view is simply defined by racisms. Much like your different view is simply defined by transphobia
there is a very big difference between race and transgenderism.
race is something that you are born with.
you have no capacity to change it.
You're wrong here as well... race is not something that you are born with, you're simply assigned one, much like a gender. Race is a social construct, much like gender.
Don't confuse ethnicity with race, nor sex with gender.
The only race that we can be born with is homo sapiens, we're all this race and genus. Everything else is just things that people tell you that you are.
not sure if you're stupid or just pretending...
me:
matchmaking APIs data, userID list within the lobbyID array alongside the unix_timestamps (start , end)
you:
those are estimates, i doubt tracking sites have access to such player data
hint: they do, via the public APIs. you just lack the knowledge of what these are and how they work
regarding the player count, which is data aggregation performed by independent parties (of previously mentioned matchmaking data)
me:
data might not be 100% accurate, but it would be close enough
it's quite comical how confident you sound, while being stupidly wrong
Flying scoutsman? You're literally trying to play a game mode that's notoriously used by hackers to level up their accounts. I'd personally be surprised if any real person even tries to play that anymore (you're the first one I've heard of in a long time)
sounds like you don't know how matchmaking APIs work and what data schema is available. tracker.gg can display all your (your = userID) games and every player (=every other userID) in the lobby (lobbyID), every single time. They can do that because the data is available via a publicAPI endpoint. There's nothing estimative about the dataset in question.
I would suggest that you do some research before spewing such inaccurate statements.
that's quite a bold (and wrong) statement. the answer is quite simple and logical: matchmaking APIs (that feed data into tracking sites for example)
data might not be 100% accurate, but it would be close enough
10-man in a 2v2 game mode? interesting story. tell us more
This is a problem with all partnership regions, not only Los Angeles and its respective Americas region. I doubt Riot cares, since they chose 1 city in each specific region, they had to know this would happen
Parternships/Franchises are almost never about enhancing competitiveness, but rather about the orgs making a more stable income (main org here being Riot)
after 11 months together. He was the newest member of the roster, as he joined in January.
??
it's an announcement video or looking for impressions. it's not a deck to present to investors, you're confused
the only ppl that say/write that kind of thing are the incel nerds that didn't get any girls. he wouldn't know if there were actually sluts in his 8th grade, he just knows that girls were seeing other guys, and not him, and then created his own narrative.
ADR, generally speaking, is the most important in any FPS game. K/D can be very misleading
ADR trumps K/D in ACS calculations
the servers have been pretty bad since 2021 (mainly via tickrate inconsistency in lobbies)... I suspect this is one of the reasons replay was never launched
there are a million ways to flank on Sunset.. I have a strong feeling there'll be a sentinel in the meta (possibly Cypher)
Maybe you should ask the millions of people that do it. The rhetorical question to an established fact makes you look quite dumb
This is a weird whataboutism...
but let's entertain it: who said that james_ff is professional in this thread? he's not even a journalist (the only point that ds_santos/eutalyx got right), he's merely a reporter that lives on streams and vlr.gg , hoping to make a career out of it (small chances, but I guess he's trying). That doesn't excuse the comments made by the subject of this thread, nor does it warrant the behavior of some other reporters who don't need to be named (through which they simply show their insecurities)
he won't do anything because he thinks with his wallet/paycheck. he made it pretty clear that he doesn't care about any of the opinions here, because you don't pay him (even though that's technically incorrect, he's indirectly being paid by usage of this website)
if majority of users start using thespike.gg instead of vlr.gg for a few weeks and specifically state that they do it because of his actions, then his boss will be forced to make him do something about it, or his boss will remove the potential liability of the website's financial sustainability.
his mentality can only be met with a similar mentality.
unfortunately, I doubt that many users here have the mental strength to accomplish this
that picture looks edited
I just don't think that the breeze meta, which was 5 man rush through main after baiting a little utility
I don't know why you keep repeating this, because it is not even close to the truth/reality. Old Breeze was mainly about mid control and attacking sites by splitting them (either B & elbow or A & mid/hall).
The changes actually make the new Breeze a less versatile tactical map.
You can't fix pre-existing medical conditions through eSports org health requirements
you have major issues with the English language bruh... go back to 2nd grade, you need it.
considering what you wrote, you shouldn't be talking about illiteracy. your sentence makes absolutely no sense, nor your listing of LCQ placements for fnatic or eg. (fyi: "1st best" does not exist)
go back to school or read a book or something, you live on this forum and you're a complete idiot
didn't know fnatic was in LCQ EMEA or EG was in LCQ Americas... good to know they won it by beating KRU, thanks for the great info!
Neither of the main trackers used by ppl on twitter had the rating stats for that map
https://www.thespike.gg/match/zeta-division-nrg-esports/106352
reality is that the 13-15 map vs NRG didn't have stats counted, so displaying those stats in such a public manner would be quite misleading/disingenuous.
Jett/Kayo/Reyna/Sage or Omen if I need to... in that order (now more Kayo, unfortunately) because my aim allows me to
The older versions of CS such as 1.3 , 1.4 and 1.5 (which Valorant was inspired from, besides also 1.6) were played on MR12. Riot did not take their inspiration from CS:GO. Riot Directors clearly stated at the announcement of Project A that they wanted to replicate the experience they had playing the FPS they loved in their youth years. It's not rocket science, not sure why I even need to explain this
They all hate valve for copying buy screen & MR12
How did Valve copy MR12 when Valorant took it from CS to begin with?
just objectively false
You're confused on what objectively means. You're describing simply subjective opinions. The reality is that you can track active players without official numbers, it's not rocket science (Riot offers many public APIs that enable this tracking). CS:GO currently has on average 300k more active players per day than Valorant, it's a simple objective fact that you have a hard time comprehending, this doesn't make CS better than Valorant or vice-versa, it just defines its popularity (which may change in the future or not).
There seems to be no point in discussing things with you, since you're hell bent on ignoring simple facts.
Cheers
As someone that mainly plays valorant for the last couple of years, I can confidently tell you that on a global scale counter strike is definitely more popular than valorant. There are at least 300k more daily active users in CS compared to Valorant (albeit, this difference has been reduced in the last year or so, it used to be larger in favor of CS)
The upcoming VCT season holds immense promise, and I can't wait to collaborate with my new teammates to make our mark in the CS:GO world.
I think it's super interesting that yay will play in VCT from the Liquid CS:GO roster indeed
I heard from my trusted sources that your trusted sources are not to be trusted
In reality, Singapore has nothing to do with China, historically or geographically speaking (unlike Taiwan and HK), it's a Malay related country/state at its core.
The only thing Chinese about it is that a bunch of people of Chinese descent immigrated there for better financial opportunities. Considering SG as Chinese really makes no sense.
how many matches did Liquid win in International Tournaments during 2023?
how many matches did fnatic win in International Tournaments during 2023?
If you're an actual brit, I'd suggest going back to 2nd grade, you have problems with the definitions of the words "close" and "equal"
you're right, making fun of someone's accent isn't racist... it's xenophobic
no way this guy thinks CR7 is the GOAT.... lmao what a dummy
you just like taking Ls?

Let me know when Liquid reaches an international final, so we can see them not choke it the same way PRX does
can't choke the finals if you never reach them
This must be a troll take... statistics and facts is not something that your brain can comprehend, nothing biased with that.
you're overestimating tarik's pull with Riot... he'd be risking the currently large bag that he's getting because of Valorant for not much upside.
That would be hilarious, but I don't see how Bayern will lose this year's Bundesliga. Most, if not all, national competitors have weaker rosters compared to last season. None of them managed to replace the star players that they sold...
The question of becoming a teacher is very dependent on your location, but it can be more fulfilling than an HR position, if you have a passion for education.
If you're in an unfavorable location for teaching, HR is absolutely the way to go. You'd get opportunities for decent pay earlier in your career, and also the ability to climb corporate ladders and switch to administrative leadership positions in the mid/latter part of your career (something that teaching will take many years considering the seniority play).
The Riot Premier is excellent for people who dream of making a living by playing games
This is where you have it wrong. As someone that went from playing in the 4th national PGL CS1.6 division in Romania, all the way to winning ESL European tournaments, if I'd be a Val young player now and I would see what's happening with Ascension, I'd stay away from Premier and probably wait for CS2 to come out and try my chance to pro there.
The pyramid created by Riot only works if you prioritize players and their teams, because that's what it is based from in theory. Reality shows us that in practice this is not the case, so many people will consider it as a potential waste of time and resources. Remember, players in Premier and challengers will mainly have to pay for themselves, much like I had to pay my own plane tickets to fly to Spain to play tournaments. Eventually, nobody will risk doing that knowing that in the moment you are close to making it to the top, Riot can just pull the rug from under you.
You have no clue what you're saying. In my 8 years of playing high level CS 1.6 I've never heard any teammates (or any player for that matter) say "oh, I don't want to qualify for WCG/ESWC , I just want to finish 4th in the qualifier". Most players that commit to playing a video game full time want to make it to the top, this is not even a matter of discussion.
You're just talking nonsense now
You have to be a complete idiot to believe that Riot's decision is correct or that it promotes in any way the integrity of the sport. Quite the contrary, Riot is slowly signing the death sentence of its Valorant eSports scene (much like 99% of the franchise/partnership leagues before it)
The difference is that in CS (either 1.6, earlier versions or later versions) you didn't need an org to make it to the top level. You just need to be good (or better said, your team needed to be good enough).
On the other hand, Riot pretty much forces players to have an org in order to be at the top level, prioritizing Orgs over the players that actually provide the skill. There's nothing screaming less "sports integrity" than that.
OP is correct, Riot is selling fantasies to players saying "we want nobodies to become pro". This is not the way to achieve this. Riot is just slowly signing their own Valorant eSports death sentence, much like 99% of franchises/partnership leagues before it.
