LOL

pa1nt nightz virty dgzin and ME

yea im ngl i cheated my balls off in stage 3 , especially against funhavers

worst day of my life

thanks bro

pick fracture, which is tejos best map by far

and then not play tejo? or any scan initiator for that matter?

every year the format and/or schedule is garbage

pro player concerns dont get listened to (bad stage PCs in the year 2025)

meta changes come at random times and said changes are rarely healthy / fun for the game

map design is awful, game feels inconsistent, no new game modes in the past 2 years, no replay system after 5 years

ranked incentives = 2 spinning gun buddies after 6 months and a png triangle in the loading screen

how is it possible that anyone enjoys valorant in 2025, much less want to compete?

not a rhetorical question

they could never make me hate u ..

real friends

every good team uses the prozone pracc group, its invite only, some people dm each other and become scrim partners if they enjoy practicing each versus each other

depends on a lot of things, but id say a couple hours each day probably, some days i dont play at all

not sure honestly, id just say keep an open mind with everything. this means roster moves, meta changes, and all that stuff. try not to judge before you've seen things in action, and always be willing to learn from others

nah, i didnt trial for c9 this year

8 hours sleep everyday no matter what
diet is normal , 3 meals a day, drink lots of water, eat fruits etc

no, paincakes is the goat

if i speak

i played on a team with spaz for 3 months, genuinely one of the best teammates/players/friends ive ever had

1. im a full time student, im studying computer science and statistics currently, i work during the summer. some pros were/are in school while playing, but a lot of them took time off or managed to make it somewhere decent before finishing highschool, and no, tier 2 teams typically dont pay rn, except for a couple like YFP, M80, MXS, and TSM iirc
2. cant remember
3. nah it's impossible to be crossed, the original value has definitely been lost because the charm was that it was not a thing that older adults were aware about, now that everyone has caught onto it people are just trying to find ways to profit off the young audience when they dont understand why its funny
4. most underrated players are bob and thief. nicest as in kindest players ive played against? has to go to fiziq easily.
5. those plans are unfortunately not up to me, i compete because i enjoy competing but real life is catching up with me soon :^)
6. a good chunk of teams in there didn't try imo, and the teams that did try don't know how to play against players with S tier mechanics on clove/iso/yoru, but basically all it means is that at some point, the game does come down to who can shoot better. and no i don't think there will be a shift, a lot of players are just stuck in their ways (copying what they see tier 1 teams do)

not sure yet

some people dont like me + im not good enough

i got a couple good trials but most people will always choose their friends (unless you are a prodigy), just how esports is

FNS

c9

Glorious team.. I wish I could have them back

Hi

PRX because i have no brain and take every fight ever

Good question

ask the best player not on a team some questions

gogogo

If these 2 wanted to go pro they could do it ez

these teams arent bad its just.. they lose in agent select trying to reinvent the wheel when they could just play what is proven to work

why cant they just play normal comps

as opposed to vlr, where all the geniuses gather

read the title

you can't always buy more utility, it depends on agent

thats fine. you still get every other benefit mentioned

but sometimes (kj attack, for example) utility really isnt that important and i think it justifies buying a ghost

nope. being able to have 1 or 2 mollies for exec/postplant OR having an alarmbot + molly + armor is a lot better. also if you're playing KJ you're going in last anyways, meaning you can just pick up a ghost off the ground if you REALLY wanted one, AND you'll still have your extra util + 125 HP

have you played valorant before

you will still win more pistol rounds just by having the extra util + HP + right click, than you will lose by getting unlucky because of first bullet inaccuracy

classic + armor is better than the ghost on pistol round

classic:

• gives you +25 HP
• you can buy more utility
• right click close range which means u can jump around and be more mobile
• cant get one tapped by ghost or 2 body shotted by sheriff

ghost:

• have to be precise
• cant one tap past 30 meters OR anyone with armor/overheal
• less HP
• less utility

the only upside to using the ghost is that you can one shot if the other person doesn't have armor (or is within 30 meters)
but if you buy armor on pistol round you can't be one tapped by the ghost, you will both have to 2 tap each other
plus, valorants map design favours the classic majority of the time

discuss

ya bro

same agent pool... high hsp... Wow

kj better, ults for execs and retakes, mollies for execs/retakes/post plants. its easier to break cypher util than kj util, i think cypher is better for hard lurking and ratting but overall kj will almost always get more value with less effort
