They're kinda opposites, as much as you can be at the top level anyways, XSET is probably further along/developed with their brand of play than Faze is with theirs though, so assuming 1 of those 2 make it I would imagine XSET sHoULD(?) do better.

everyone talks shit about how bad our community is, I would rather attempt to improve it than sit back and bitch. No matter how futile it may seem I never lose faith, whatever im doing.

If you haven't played near a high level of teamplay, you need to understand when you have an important player to your team's structure/support player that is [not fully mentally/physically available] your whole team suffers. Icebox has always been yay and friends for them for whatever reason(outside of some of marved's lurk highlights), but on both maps so far its very clear that they are not at their normal level of cohesion. Give them a break pls, jokes are jokes but a lot of people take it too far.

XSET ARE GOOD. THE RESULT OF THIS MATCH DOESN'T CHANGE ANYTHING ABOUT EITHER TEAM. XSET have been working for this, if they get it they earned it; that doesn't mean this is Top Tier Optic rn(also doesn't mean XSET are trash if they lose). Nothing bad will happen because we accept this.

reported

neon, kayo, fade, astra, chamber

smoke pick not as relevant as the core 4

i dont think nivera is better at any of it but chamber, but its also the only things [nivera] CAN play at ALL.

i was gonna say it

JSUNG --> a duel taking role ---> NYFU wins. yall the homies but breh.

"kicked"

eh im 5th rn 1tricking fade. not bad.

duelist only thing i dont play :(

wippie is on a life-goal-being-met buff. mans here to stay, life is good and so is he.

they were bad?

thats what im saying

no way u upload these stats

OmegaLuL dogshit players getting 13-0d.

final bump

stop

bump

yea i think ima try to keep this bumped at least thru the midgame spam posts. probably highest trafficked time

thats all that can be hoped for.

rather it be said where its relevant than said where its accepted.

im pretty sure there are 10x as many viewers as posters for these forums and im more targetting the concept of reaching out on social media to attack players after these losses. neT's Twitlonger says even his family has been getting dms its just disgusting.

i have not yet. I can only hope I can help start a decline in the amount that happens.

that better

it needed to be brought up somewhere, idk a bigger relevant platform for the topic.

There is a difference between saying a team choked and marking up a loss/win to one of the teams involved underperforming but guys, do you understand the reason people choke at these events/any event above someones average experience level? Because they care, it matters DEEPLY.

Stop attacking players for succumbing to pressure.

I get that its an easy jump to go from team choked to player choked but theres a difference when you are targetting someone because a LOT of people try to get their attacks seen by the player. If you know someone that actually dms a player after they have a bad game you need to address it. I understand this is mostly futile but holy fuck guys. If the guard are getting hate individually to the extent they have to talk about it, I pray for Rb's mental health after that game. They're not even out and you guys are making threads already.

This is the biggest event for these guys lives so far (for most), this isn't a casual match that you'll get over the next day, this shit hurts when you lose. Be good human beings.

you would normally be correct

aside from what everyone really says about spraying i dont think that has anything to do with the cap, its the relevant RNG factors; valorant not only has higher moving accuracy across all weapons, the maps are closer range. counterstrike u have to crabwalk to be moving and accurate whatsoever and technically it works just worse in this game but theres little reason to be moving like that when u can full sprint with a rifle and kill ppl in CQB.
The real skill of gunplay relies heavily on tap-burst-spray decision making, whereas cs u can bail urself out with spray control no matter what(assuming ur alive to actually do the spray). The issue is u can just choose option D for dumbass and just run. The weapons will eventually be tuned as this gets changed(hopefully, tweeted today current specter is like prenerf csgo ump) but in the current state the hypothetical cap is lower than cs. The issue we've seen is that its assumed(might even be said i cant remember) that this is to keep more of the playerbase "happy" and it isnt tuned for the peak of the game. RNG kills will always exist and they exist in CS as well but it shouldnt be the undeniable better choice to literally run and gun with a rifle around a corner to kill someone; that should not be reliable, even for someone half hp. This is all just my opinion but i have played both at a relevant enough of a high level, not commenting on teamplay or that aspect aside from the fact i have opinions on it.

Knowing tendencies goes a very long way my friend. Genuinely hurt to watch.

u want the bullets to work worse after u do the action of peeking. what does that mean.
fire rate higher=better to hold lower=harder to hold-same to peek.
also that is already what is preferred

well emea would be broken up if CIS becomes its own qualifying region, and general rule you dont count coaches as part of the teams regionality. aside from that ye.

If you are not making a point that they are not a CIS team then what are you trying to convey?

u could be right but they didnt exactly take the L in stride after not making it to masters. Just kinda reality checking the idea that theyre back at the hard work after getting upset.

you cant divorce their individual success on the same team from the impact of everyone as a teammate on eachother.
They all need eachother, we tend to tie teams to a region based on majority nationality, the real grinded out roster of FPX is majority CIS. A sub is a sub that does not change anything. That doesnt change the nationality of the EU players either.

theyre not practicing theyre running trials after dropping their igl.

yea angel being gone eliminated all impact hes had on his team. when they used sub they had to redo all the strats setups comps and chemistry. ??? i understand this isnt what you were trying to say but do you understand the reason teams have leaders? you cant all be drones.

what the fuck is ur name lmao how are u supposed to say it

"the enemy whiffs" no. also how many kills are u honestly seeing ppl get from spamming 3 bodyshots at any level ppl arent whiffing full mags. and what does that last comment even mean its a gun u can win a 1v2 with a classic or a shorty.

think decreasing the firerate would make ppl better with it lmao. ppl dont aim enough with it as is they just try to spam away and thats harder than just clicking the head once.

thats called being greedy

if u have to shoot nonstop you can get punished no matter what gun u have lmao
yea ik its probably bait in this instance but alot of ppl believe this

chamber shitter

i dont think hes said there has been an executive decision to cut Anyone so far yet. its been team decision. ig someone can prove me wrong if i am; he was a player, he knows how it goes and he isnt gonna go out of his way to assert anything on the roster. Theres a reason he got DDK and Sean to lead the team.

they need to take away the slow from the ult or change it to less time bare minimum cuz that shit griefs ur own team. Other team can hold the site just by dying to u at the choke lmao its fucked.

yes that is indeed what i stated as my thoughts on the matter.

arguing with fools increases the number of fools in the world

it takes more ppl to explain things to you than it does to change a lightbulb i dont think im the slow one friend
