we got 5 rounds

-The fact alone that two people constantly see completely different things, (etc when two streamers play) from the reality of the server is just bonkers. It isn't the tickrate, it's probably something much worse than that.

This exists in cs lmao

vertigo wasnt a new map they edited the fuck out of it to make it a real map not hostage, kept many of the concepts of the map tho. Anubis and Ancient, sure theyre new. They arent what anyone actually wanted but I don't know much about them as a player. But the real issue is map pool doesnt rotate for shit. There are more maps than are active (naturally), but people want things to cycle at least. The cs community usually hates new, thats why Tuscan is a heavily requested map vs some new random map.

im happy hopping on the downvote train but honestly even the shitposters should respect that each game has huge creators tied to their titles. Shroud is given a key bc he brings in a VARIETY of viewers but the point here is valid; cs creators > "outsiders" which shroud is at this point.

a new map every decade isnt so bad i guess

u wish

LMAO

thank fuck i got overshadowed

technically

this is what happens when you swap your gameplan to counter the other team. we gucci tho

s tier map 1 gameplay

no im not calling him bad lmao but you cant tell me Outsiders is a team constantly making grandfinals. fuckin ence made it to gf vs prime astralis cuz 1 meta change. the point is that alot of talent has pooled at the top rn in cs. thats what a skill ceiling means.

jame just won the last major bro. we're talking every international overall sure. majors? which is all val has, no

So, the game is the at the best its ever been, and teams are closer together than they've ever been. thats YOUR point??

the same teams/players are there tho

i suck what u want

8/8 cosplay tbh i actually went to check

jovahni died for this

battle cypher

pog i have a fan

memed

ay gg bro, as a tier 56 player it is an honor to play a match vs you

we got a few

MWAH

lowkey i forget I signed us up for this so we didnt even prep to play just said "oh ya we're playing a tourney tmw" im happy with it. we will make the OG SQ legacy proud

all good i decided to make it easy on you

"height"

sup

I am taller, richer, more traveled, and smarter than you. And the only reason you see I would defend my ex teammate is because I want her to fuck me. You are a valid human being.

her ex teammate. i encourage people to talk shit about me and my performances. But show some respect for Bob. Shes brought herself through more shit to succeed than anyone here has out in the real world.

probably a thousand msgs/comments outside of twitch chat alone, god forbid you include those numbers

go fuck yourself

The Real Rundown

EMEA have better concepts that they attempt and execute, but as a whole they fail because their win conditions still rely heavily on individual success(and I dont mean hitting their shots). Long term they will succeed if they actually get through this issue.

NA have better competition which forces the top teams to exist under very specific conditions. The concepts NA teams run are much more based on the individual but because of this, they are much more practiced at what situations the individuals will find themselves in.

~people like scream and derke tend to cause fear in their opponents(from what ive watched of EMEA regional games), another great example not at the event is chronicle. Man is an ego challenge LEGEND. But when you go international suddenly people don't have these feelings when they face eachother, and you begin to realize your gameplan relies more on you just popping off and winning 50/50s than you thought.

EVERYONE is bad. That is why there has been so much back and forth-upsets and such. Every region loses rounds they shouldn't, not just talking about ecos. And I include each regions top teams in this. Nobody is as disciplined as they will be in a year from now, 2 years from now. The game will look different and only THEN will emea have an advantage. Right now you are just as nooby as NA.

Tl;dr: EMEA will only be better when they stop playing like NA.

why wouldn't you watch if you were american? you think you're that boring to watch?

EDIT: fair. i dont want an opinion on this anymore.

EDIT: nvm i dont want an opinion on this anymore

broadly. maybe a little diff from your message but mostly the same. liquid definitely dropped the ball as a whole but they arent exactly a gem normally. thats probably the only addition i made. the rest is agreeable.

bro theyre not bad because they lost they lost because they're bad. They played so individually that they are the most NA team there. stop stealing our issues. the solo peeks and hero plays are OUR culture.
~Dima peeked yay on bind and then repeeked 2 MORE TIMES. AS BRIM. VS THE HIGHEST RATED CHAMBER IN THE WORLD. VS ECO.

Scream has ingrained the fear, that his team normally brings to other EMEA teams, into his playstyle and it is visibly clear he was not adjusting vs optic.

Soulcas-I don't really know its not really him throwing first that much and I have trouble blaming a domino-effect-decision on 1 person that heavily.

Nivera- fun to watch ill be honest but not visibly seeing much of his growth with how many solo plays are seemingly allowed or encouraged.

Dima plays like a reyna on smokes but i will admit i have no idea what goes on in their camp so clearly not all of it can be as bad as it looks, but that doesnt excuse much of what happened at this tourney.

Jampi- nuts and definitely the most EFFECTIVE flexible player on the team.

FNC is just better, its a derby(regional) game where you have very few outs, and FNC didnt give them any.

On top of everything I've said above theyre still better than anyone here can even know and virtually none of you see any of the actual breakdowns of teamplay. Have fun with it. call them shit. call na shit. do whatever. Don't pretend you know what to criticize though. Everyone here earned their spot to be here and are above wannabes on forums.

lol

i think he has t1 aim but he probably struggles switching from brain to aim mode which is what usually happens to igls that have struggles mechanically. Also he sacrifices himself into situations to ensure the trade A LOT(which is very important to have). most of the people here dont even think you can buy a functioning rifle if you lock smokes so i dont expect people to know what im talking about.

Or just don't separate the best active duo in the region? Probably the world if you get specific about your definition of duo.

yea i use the new deathadder and im prob gonna stay on it for the 4khz wireless thing but if there was another shape ive ever loved that much, its that mouse.

Roccat Kone Pro Air, idk why i stopped using it tbh

defense is stored in the balls

this place is a zoo. this mans didnt even play another agent today but chamber, and im still getting downvoted for that part-which isnt even the actual bm part

lan experience isnt as relevant as crowd experience.

.02 seconds away from u knowing our names like any other VCT team. your current flair's roster for instance.
have some respect you fuckin weirdos its not like anybody gets hurt by recognizing shit others actually know about

If i have to go hunting for a nonchamber game its close enough to comment it on vlr i aint puttin in werk like dat
