burnout?? they're videogame players ffs

they're bums

plus 3 is a valid complaint. i have to fucking work tomorrow, i cant watch the matches so there should be more matches in the weekend. its not valid if you're a kid

1. make the regional tournaments last thrice more than it should last with weekly bo3 matches. for engagement, of course

2. make the first international tournament have a few teams when it should have more. the competition isn't fierce at all because the bad teams haven't been weeded out yet because of your atrocious format (just look how many 2x0)

3. make it TWO matches a day

is there a more incompetent ghoul in esports? just look at this guy linkedin. he's been in riot for NINE years. how can you be so bad at your job? however, this is just the norm. leo faria was a below average software engineer, somehow he got into project management and found a way to fuck up the customer to get a little bit more of profit for riot and that's the only thing that matters in current product landscape. google enshittification, this is what MBAs and project managers do

leo faria you should've been fired already.

so what
its still more hype

once it gets to playoffs its not even a competition

val major looks like those off season tournaments compared to cs major LOL

I doubt anything is gonna happen physically
online maybe a nuisance but nothing too serious. the guys relying on shahzam throwing for money aren't talented hackers or else they'd be getting big bucks finding vulns

though ive been noticing the 15-20 years old are increasingly sicker in the head. from the racist reels to the doxx/hacking tomfoolery. maybe it's too much internet

i don't blame bottom feeder teams for throwing. it's just a stupid videogame and i mean it unironically. imagine being in your 25s with no degree and having to abide to competitive integrity when the company itself has been sued for sexual harassment a couple of times and partakes in ewc

org medíocre internacional mas por algum motivo eles investem mt no brasil

ja tiveram roster de cs e apex br agr val

sure for cultural soft power but even so.. what the fjck is that lol it has been barely advertised

wtf is anyone watching it? surely mustve been a net negative in saudis pocket

teams with improvised teams and some matches arent even streamed

no advice will get you to radiant

literally just play that. if ur not some 90 iq person you get it with a lot of hours just like anything in life

but even playing t2 probably takes a huge amount of talent

zekken diffed aspas last time they played each other

zekken > aspas

generational fumble
i think he is top 5 americas rn 💀

you could see in his gameplay. kid couldnt wait for the opponents to show up in his screen wholly 💀 twice he started shooting the moment they showed their guns because his trigger happy addy finger couldnt wait and get a clean shot

has to be the most boring shit in the game

most overrated duelists
stakeless matches merchants

we are better in literally everything

Matthew 6:14-15 - For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

asking for a 16 years old's head because he was a bad boyfriend and made stupid edgy jokes is the epitome of cruelty and virtue signaling. most valorant players are sheltered and thus they had little to no room to 'fail', thus it's easy to judge the flaws in others when yourself never entered into situations which your flaws could've been exposed

whats this cringe narrative

guy is insecure and jealous, hes not a cuck hes just demented

these are two different problems and ur moving goalposts

the circuit has very few long tournaments because the format as a whole fucking sucks

furia could've played twice or thrice in a single week n get ready for the next tournament if the breaks werent so fuxking long and the tournaments werent so long

so we should have more tournaments and teams should play more high stakes matches and the tournaments shouldnt last as long. hell some cs teams play the whole vct groups in a single week bro

Swiss bracket groups like cs
if you lose twice you're out then playoffs

I don't want to watch more than two 2g, loud, eg, furia, and nrg games

or make it all a Swiss bracket like they did for league in the msi

but riot is allergic to Swiss bracket just like they're allergic to everything that brings a better entertainment if there's the slight chance it won't be as lucrative (league had b01s in tournament for years, no lower bracket and so on)

just how many useless games we had already?
💀
not only that but how many games were merely for seeding as well?
now we have to watch another game between two teams which should've been relegated

kru at very least sandbagged against eg

if you're gripping the mouse too fierce and/or moving it too quick your aim will be shaky

it's that simple really

grip it lightly and don't try to flick like your life depends on it

I was thinking about how teams like edg t1 and g2 improved making small team changes because the remaining players improved as well

meanwhile you have brazilian players who never improved past their initial peak or even got worse

off the top of my head
havoc
khalil
heat
mwzera
mazin
tuyz
cauanzin
frz
jzz
kon4n
xand
bezn1
mazin
qck
pancada

and now the ones who improved
dgzin
loud 2022 roster minus pancada

and so on
are we complacent? if we don't start hot I feel like we don't improve. maybe that's true for most regions but I feel like Brazil is the worst at improving current players

that'd be true if the reason for donk winning it all weren't merely his ability to swing and shoot his enemies faster and more precise than others

that works for aspas as well tbh

you can't look at aspas swinging off a wall, hitting a precise shot and thinking that was thanks to his game sense

'adapting' to valorant different metas isn't hard if you're a gifted individual like zywoo. you have to be coping if you think zywoo wouldn't grasp val intricacies faster than leaf who is a pretty good player but faltered in NA T2

the most worthwhile skill in valorant and cs is your ability to kill enemies in 1v1 (genetics) and game intuition like timing and util (genetics).

it's like comparing top chess players to top checkers players

valorant is cs t2 save for a few gifted individuals (kk, aspas, leo, etc)

zywoo s1mple donk niko are fps royalty

under a good team he would flourish idc ive seen him mogging oxy n aspas a couple of times already

idk

i feel like riot did a bad job at making interesting skills compared to, say, ubisoft with r6

or maybe the cs framework is too 'simple' for it to be turned into a tac fps with abilities, thus the abilities make the game a flowchart as exemplified in the post plant metas

i feel like the game is getting too formulaic and stiff

there's nothing like your teammate flashing mirage mid and you cruising along tracing angles and one tapping enemies in this game. the 'freedom' we had vanished along with jett two instant dashes. now it's all droning. util. vyse/cypher locking down half of the map.

ppl are joking but im unsure how that'd happen...

if a guy had bought his account, which would be expensive as it is a radiant one and it has a bunch of shit, he wouldn't have a cheap hack that'd ban him before he queued even for a single match

so wtf happened?
