I don't speak French, and more than half of the country doesn't speak French.

Flemish is the original Dutch.

Keep proving your ignorance, moron.

KK just deserves the hype (at least in this tournament). He's been awping on any agent he plays, both on attack and defense and getting sick results with it. It's super impressive

posted 10 months ago

Adaptations throughout a match. Fnatic pulls out nutty comebacks.

Ability to hype up the team and hold cohesion

Not fumbling the fundamentals. You rarely see fnatic making ranked mistakes

When it comes to strats it’s always hard to say without knowing how closely they work with the coach and what % of the stratbook is basically theirs

This. We’ve seen aspas get locked out of a game.

There seems to be no reliable way to take derke out.

It’s because derke actually isn’t as aggressive as the stats suggest. He’s super calculated in how he takes and clears space, so can’t be caught out very often in a “wrong” spot. Ofc that’s due to how well fnatic sets up util to allow him to do that and how they dictate pacing

posted 10 months ago

Nothing wrong with steel. Dropping him caused 100t downfall.

posted 10 months ago

Right so what do you suggest?

Duelists - take space
Sentinels - hold space
Controllers - shape space
Initiators - help take space and get info on space

With some of them some util to deny space

What else is there?

regional matches is the best time for them to test out wacky comps, especially against the teams that are kinda mid in their league and if they know they will be qualifying anyway.

In scrims results are skewed anyway so these matches are the only real tests you're going to get.

Don’t get why you’re being downvoted.

It’s true what you say - inflated salaries are the biggest downfall of the esports bubble right now. ENCE in CS reported $1m in profits in 2022 and that’s only due to scouting cheap players that had potential.

Most orgs are making a loss since the sponsors aren’t seeing any ROI (main esports audience barely has any money), and in order to even attract good sponsors you need to be one of the top teams. If you don’t get the best players you don’t see results => you don’t get good sponsorship deals.

The whole result is a spiral to pay more for better players to get better sponsors, who are then disappointed with their sponsorship results while player salaries keep rising and need to get funded by even more sponsorships.

It’s super unsustainable in its current form.

And all of the biggest baiters are on that list.

At this point you’ve got to start thinking whether they are actually baiting in 3k comments or are genuinely delusional to put that much effort into it

How can you not understand the impact of cs util? It’s ez af

Here’s the impact and why even a random grandpa would understand:

-flash: you can’t see
-smoke: your vision is blocked
-grenade: you do instant damage
-molotov: you stand in fire, it hurts

Effect on the round:
-flash: somebody peeks flashed person, they likely kill them
-smoke: they can’t see you pass, you likely can cros
-grenade: do damage so easier to kill or outright kill
-molotov: deny space and do damage. Easier to kill or outright kill

4 util in a match of cs. In valorant at THE VERY LEAST 20 pieces of distinct util per game, maximum 40. Literally up to 10x more util complexity

posted 10 months ago

The outcome of the util is the exact same in cs vs val.

With the exception that valorant has much more util.

You’re not making any sense. In cs people need to understand 4 pieces of util that all are exactly the same. In valorant people need to understand 4 pieces of util multiplied by the number of agents to really know what’s going on.

Neither. Both have had exceptional matches recently. Chronicle has been topfragging almost every game.

? If a smoke goes down in cs it’s like a smoke in val

If someone flashes you in cs it’s like a flash in val

If someone nades you in cs it’s damage

If someone molotovs in cs it’s like a molotov in val

Best you can do IMO is play 1 "class" primarily and have 1 or 2 comfort picks in every other class so you can flex when necessary

for example, I primarily play controllers, so I am super comfortable on:
Omen
Viper
Brim
Astra
not so good on harbor

Sentinels:
Sage
KJ
(Chamber but doesn't really count)

Initiator:
Kay/O
Breach

Duelist:
Jett for whenever I get a rare game that 4 people lock and we don't have a duelist

The best team in the world always gets a lot of hate.

It’s been like that forever, in CS as well. If you were a TSM/Astralis fan before they won a major you were based, if you were a fan as soon as they started dominating you were deluded, a plastic fan, or a bandwagoneer

Fnatic would be stupid to change anything even if they lose next tourney. Staying on number 1 is hard cause everyone studies you. They have all the pieces to stay a title contender for a while and have proven their adaptability to new maps and new metas without a problem.

A player would have to majorly fall off before a change is warranted

If I had to rank the places I've lived:

  1. Amsterdam, NL. Quality of life is really good, the cost of living is quite high but salaries are nicer than in London so you end up with more savings. City is stunning too. Transport inside the city and getting around with bicycle is convenient af. The Dutch themselves are quite shallow I find but there's a huge expat community, which is cool.

  2. Ghent, Belgium. Lovely vibe, people are super friendly. Everything doable on foot or by tram. Might be a little biased cause I spent the start of my adult life there as a student so I made loads of friends there and had loads of fun experiences.

  3. NYC, USA. City just always has something going on. Cost of living is sky high but back then I had my apartment paid for by my company which is usually the biggest expense so that didn't really hit me. Downsides are travel inside the city and how isolating the city can feel. Millions of people but hard to make friends. Dating life was incredibly easy on the other side, so that was a plus

  4. London, UK. While it's a top tier place to visit, it's not too nice to live in. Living circumstances are fucking terrible, you pay shitloads for something that looks like (and smells like) a shoebox. Loads of homelessness. And cause the city is so fucking large, you could be travelling for a full hour to meet friends. The upside is that food and coffee etc are absolutely incredible in London, miss that the most.

All 4 are actually quite nice though Amsterdam, NYC and London you need to be making a decent chunk of money to get the most out of it.

Lived in 4 countries so I'll go for all of them - personal opinions:

  1. Belgium: Ghent to live, Bruges in terms of what it looks like (lived primarily in Ghent myself)
  2. USA: Boston was a great place, worked there for a couple of weeks, would love to live there (lived in Manhattan myself)
  3. UK: Edinburgh is absolutely stunning (lived in London myself)
  4. Netherlands: can't beat Amsterdam, live there now
