The issues ENVY have are fixable.

Their split looked like they were trying to anti-strat and it didn't work out. Rossy wasn't playing a traditional Viper because of the LEV Neon + Fade combo at A they run that has found a lot of success defeating a lurking Viper. They put Demon1 there as cypher to try to watch their flank and combat any sort of slide push, while providing security for any sort of rotation hits in the mid/late round.

Glyph was a big anomaly in that game. He's traditionally not a Skye main and there were a couple of rounds that were questionable about his positioning away from the team. For example, first round on Split, they setup Keznit at window with a smoke, Rossy was in site away from his wall as Viper, Nightz and Demon1 are in site with no way to fight against a retake flood outside of angle management. Glyph is trying to play flank with the only utility the team has against a flood. Nightz has a directional flash but if you're stuck back site, you don't have a good position to use it and get value.

If you rearrange those player positions, Glyph being in site with his team, Rossy managing his wall on the flank, instantly you get a flash for window to help Keznit's push. And you get a flash for retake. Both of these give Envy a better shot at winning the round.

This is not to put any sort of blame on Glyph but to highlight that the issues are fixable. If they can start with their fundamentals around execs then I think they have a really good chance against a floundering KRU. And NRG might not take them seriously going into their last game. Envy just need to have a bunch of team discussions around their approach to basic attack/defense. Apply that basic approach and hope it matches well against KRU and NRG.

What's he gotta do? Asking for a friend...

Tell me how to get there and I'll do it.

100 page analysis for free for Envy? Couldn't hurt Stunner/Rossy.

Going to do it during the next 100 Thieves game. I'll post clip here after it happens.

I'll do my best.

That's okay, I deserve it. Actions have consequences and I'm here to bear them.

Hey Wendler,

I just want to apologize for my behavior. You are right. I got carried away and I hope you can forgive me. I also want to apologize for my disgusting attack on your weight. You deserve better and I hope you and PRX have a fantastic season!

<3

Me as well. Big 100T supporter.

Hello! Just in case no one told you today, you're awesome!

I want to formally apologize to mCE, Platoon, ec1s and Anderzz. You all were right, I was wrong. I was egotistical and not mature. I hope you can forgive me.

Hi, I'm now reformed. I appreciate your response. But I am not larping and would appreciate a chance for you to change your mind about me.

Hey buddy, I know you're mad at me but I'm reformed: https://www.vlr.gg/post/7065639/im-reformed

And what you're saying is simply not true. https://imgur.com/a/Py4ucCM. I have 3500+ hours in aim trainers. I'm also voltaic Radiant.

Forgetting that mouse movements are half the battle and that you need just as much training in movement. Many of the aim trainers focus on stationary aim where you are facing a target/targets. In Valorant, players are constantly moving and they are not static which sometimes requires you to mirror their movement.

Aimlabs does offer Valorant based aim training with movement but even that isn't a replacement for in-game playing.

Like all things, it's finding a balance and keeping in mind the concept of diminishing returns applies to video games as well as economics.

Wave! And you're the goat, not me. I'm just a humble internet user.

Alright, next stream, I'll apologize and donate.

Whatever the community thinks is best.

Nope, I'm reformed. Plus they're just hosted on google so I'm sure there's a virus scanner when I upload.

Enjoy!

Did Zikz bring this up recently? I'm super confused why all the bots are responding this way

...

How and why do people comment on threads that are like a week old? I know I got fans but holy glaze.

Consequences were worth it for pointing out hypocrisy and nepotism. I started that conversation. Basically the batman of vlr.

someday I will come into an icebox thread on vlr and not see my name... that will be a good day

To be fair, Potter picked the plumbers and home depot supervisor.

Irrelevant

Riot shouldn't allow roster high-jacking. The Rankers team should have been forced to stay or the spot given to the tier 2 team that Rankers beat. Players should own the spot, not the organization. Franchise system doesn't work and this is a good example.

Just a heads up, LEV is not a super team. They are literal tier 2 players minus Kingg.

You've given me no way to counter your argument. You are simply stating an opinion and holding it as a solid argument. You believe the preparation, that you cannot see, is done well. You are saying the setups are good, but they produce bad outcomes. You are saying the stats of the players should sway me to think they are doing well, but the stats are bad.

They won 10 rounds of 26 in their last match. The team went a combined -57.

If we wanted to have an actual discussion, you need to give me more than "wins and losses shouldn't be the sole comparison" What is the rubric you are using the come to your conclusion. What you have provided, I'm using stats, setups and preparation from their last game they just played, and they were bad. It resulted in a loss. Which this entire thread is discussing.

Coming from someone who knows me based off works they have not read themselves. Ironic.

That's because your conclusion is nonsensical. This is a competitive, professional league and you're treating it like little league baseball where the coach is supposed to teach people morals and how to be good little kids. It's an absolutely bizarre perspective.

I'm sorry. I don't see how you're not being delusional.

You don't have to be there to judge her preparation? The results of her preparation is a loss. You were not there. You are some how saying that it is still good preparation. You can't confirm there even was preparation. That's an argument from ignorance.

The measurement of a good coach in a competitive league, is winning, by everyone's standards. That's why you're googling it. It gives you the general sentiment for my statement.

You cannot say "their setups do work and have worked" if they are losing their games. That's a fact. You cannot be successful in anything if you're losing. You're being nonsensical.

I have shown you proof. Her win/loss record. There's not a single serious person who believes you cannot measure a professional coach by their win/loss record. You are measuring her performance based on your "feelings" which are not grounded in reality. Potter is losing games, her setups are not working and you're arguing she is some how a good coach. Nonsensical. period.

Also it is not a false dilemma.

It's a measurement of performance. Winning four games in a year is a poor performance. Those are facts that are not disputable.

My entire way of thinking is flawed? Google top 5 coaches of all time. If you can show me that the coaches are not graded based on their wins I will change my mind.

You cannot see "team preparation" because you were not there.

You see what in their stats or setups? They're not winning so their stats are poor and their setups don't work.

This is called being delusional. Here's the definition for you "Being delusional means holding firm, fixed false beliefs that persist despite overwhelming evidence or reason to the contrary."

Delusional or ragebaiting (and failing)... no other options.

Okay but over an entire year, she got four wins. At what point can you be objective? Is it 1 win over a year? 0 wins over a year? There has to be an objective line to judge a coach. Sure you can argue that "my line" is 4. But you've only got 3 other options or there is no way to judge a coach. Which if that's the case, what are we even talking about.

nailed it.

Unfortunately in the world of competitive sports we are measured by wins and losses. No offense but I'm going to pass on your advice...

FOUR WINS IN A YEAR. A WHOLE YEAR.

People confuse nice people with good coaching. Don't make me drop the quote.

Potter seems like a really nice person. But you can't call her a good coach if coaches have any impact on winning. They're on a historic losing streak for such an extended period of time.

Zikz pay me for advertising for you.

oh noes... I'm weird? No way. Please take that back. It's very offensive.

Why don't you just tell me your main and stop hiding. Scared? Taking Sliggy's advice about using alts to hide your identity?

also yes.
