i read the series a while ago, the first book was pretty slow and set up the stuff that happened in the later books

if einstein lived in the modern era he would be the greatest igl of all time

Whenever i get Breeze and Sunset back to back in ranked i feel like ending my pathetic fucking kappachungus life

yeah it helps to remember valorant playerbase is really young. sometimes kids will just be weird for no reason but it just reminds me of myself being a shithead in cs lobbies like 10 years ago and i just accept it LOL

helps to just have a zero tolerance policy and insta mute if they’re weird. i’ll unmute after a few rounds just to check and usually they’ve chilled out

yeah anything more than 30 should be fine

if i know im gonna be in the sun for a long time i try to go higher but my general use is also 30

what i realized is that you need to create your own enjoyment in soloq independent of just winning because you’re gonna be miserable otherwise

i basically just go into every game focusing on my micro and getting satisfaction from hitting clean shots and don’t really give a fuck about the general outcome (obviously i comm and try to win)

by detaching your emotions (as much as you realistically can) from winning or losing you tend to actually win more because of lack of tilt

basically the same thing yeah, only thing is most of those have really low spf levels so you gotta think about if you need more based on the conditions

now this is actually virtue signaling everyone knows cigs are bad bro

a lot cooler than suckin on a usb flash drive man

i’m 90% sure that most of the youth addicted to vaping do not have a background of cig addiction

for most guys if you don’t have any serious skin issues you can keep it pretty simple. moisturizer, sunscreen, and cleanser is really all you need for a basic setup

if you care a little more retinol is worth it but those three are good enough to keep your skin healthy

how do people even get into vaping man like at least cigarettes look cool

no I think they’re funny and if you’re personally irritated by it it’s probably because you associate with sen to some degree making their taunts feel personal

zekken literally said on stream that the geng guys are all nice and that he loved the back and forth, there’s zero reason for a viewer to somehow be more annoyed than the players themselves

BTW — there’s nothing wrong with getting emotionally invested and being bothered by taunts or whatever. you should probably remember that your emotions aren’t reality tho. they’re just having fun and aren’t malicious at the end of the day

physical: ate something rotten and had to literally sleep on the toilet because I was shitting so much

mental: (working at hospital) having to tell someone their relative didn’t make it for the first time

i’d agree that solo leveling isn’t as good as its popularity insinuates but i think that’s normal. people love power fantasy shit and SL is flashy and makes the reader feel cool

most popular manhwa are the same formula of isekai bullshit and that’s ok it’s like junk food, sometimes you gotta indulge

personally i prefer TSCOG and ORV though

i like them, tex is overhated considering how many roles he’s flexing. if c0m plays to his standard in EG i can easily see them making it to shanghai

also aspas is 🐐

gravitational singularity

consult with the orb (me) your problem and i will advise

thanks for the bux

investing in furia stocks while low

you had to parallel park? all i did was drive around the neighborhood at like 20mph lol

DFM meiy

i feel like i’m rewatching the beginning of valorant where people would kiss the ground tenz walked on and called every mistake he made a fluke

he’s allowed to have bad games bro it happens

history repeating itself

opac

i competed in badminton for a while

dude is biting Seankukuz whole flow … unoriginal

I like how you gave up on the NRG flair because you couldn’t even pretend to be more schizo than the real NRG fans

I doubt they win anything, jinggg is an unbelievable player but until he decides to dial it back like 20% the amount of thrown rounds will always cost PRX the trophy in the hardest matches

Pretty much the same problem as DRX, except in the opposite direction (too passive vs too chaotic). That’s why GENG are so good, they mix the two styles

I’m sure they’ll do great in terms of overall placements though

overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer

cleared the allegations

it’s true, i was all 10 of the accounts

no man it’s actually so effed up that they can’t chat in the stream anymore . Literally violating our freedom of speech

these threads fascinate me because they really tell me how kids think these days

it’s like i’m just looking at a mirror of my edgy past version, i can easily see my teenage self typing this stuff

if 100T doesn’t beat SEN with the amount of prep time they have and the number of VODs sen showed they need to be ejected from the league expeditiously

drop immi

i get hella nosebleeds too my doctor said it’s something about temperature shifts gg

but ya i think that point about needing to lose was the most important. they shitstomped all their scrims, they stomped all their tournament matches, then at the most important game of their event they actually start getting the pressure. having to deal with those emotions at the most important moment did em in

bro their stage antics were hilarious, the only reason people “didnt like them” was because they were already SEN fans

SEN winning even got Mca fake flagging the world is ending

if this is their prime in their total career and not just at SEN, it should be Sacy #2 and Marved #3

yea definitely a double controller thing

i agree with pretty much everything

i think viper should be auto pick on split though, it’s actually so easy to just afk on defense with mid orb and A wall

on attack just throw a lurk wall (either site) and it forces them to play way up

i usually play duelist on every map but i do viper for split and its sooo easy to get value

i fuck with beyn i just want drx to commit to whatever change they make and not do some rotating 6 man shit

you right, that team really had some aura

Karon will feast on clove

ya but he doesn’t even pretend to be unbiased, he fully reps na

i like seangares because he’s basically just sliggy but way more invested and emotional lol

if they were in peak form yea but they’re nowhere near it rn, it’s just demon1 atm

I believe you need three players minimum that are able to solo carry a map in order to win an event, because it ensures that your team can win even if some players are underperforming

Historical examples
OPTIC (Yay, Marved, Crashies)
LOUD (Aspas, Less, Sacy)
FNATIC (Alfajer, Leo, Derke)
EG (Demon1, Boostio, Jawgemo)

2024 examples
SEN (TenZ, Zekken, Johnqt)
GENG (t3xture, Meteor, Karon)

Teams that don’t pass the check
NRG
PRX
LOUD
any others

ppl here haven’t seen OPTC victor farm with glitchpop phantom and it shows

munchkin should be S, top fragging as IGL and getting to map 5
