good build in your budget range (you should learn how to build a computer its not hard, theres youtube videos that show you literally step by step what to do, what order, what screwdriver etc)

I don't know many good prebuilt pc websites apart from overclockers, but thats UK only I believe. Would be worth researching and finding something similar to the build I sent.

You wouldn't need that great specs to get 240 fps on valorant 1500 would probs be enough, including a monitor. I'm not sure about prebuilt prices though as they tend to focus on having a way better gpu than needed, especially for a cpu heavy game like valorant.

Anything above a ryzen 5 4500 should defo get 240 fps.

Before I built my new pc I had a ryzen 5 2600 and it would get around 200 fps, and that was a pretty dogshit system overall (1050ti 16gb ram)

define "have to". You don't "have to" support criminals at all

V1c (smokes)
Bones (flex)
Verno (recon)
Reduxx (duelist)
Moose (senti)

way better + younger + not washed

This is NA's problem lmfao

once again not reflective of any percentage of the population

so you surround yourself with people who are into the hustler / grindset culture. thats like 0.00000001% of the population

yea there are quite a few clips of it, and he switched to streaming on kick after he got banned on twitch and it was awful there

pretty much he took an extended break from pro play due to mental health issues, came back and it seemed fine, had some issues with his girlfriend which got very public and very ugly. Had issues with SEN in brazil at lockin as he wasn't himself at this point. Came home and pretty much went crazy online, tweeting out incoherent ramblings, streaming and not even being able to form sentences, he got arrested due to tresspassing at a car dealership. During this whole psychotic episode he streams on the side and people pretty much are just laughing at him, getting him to say racist things. He had upwards of 10k viewers at some points just watching him and provoking him. Finally some friends and his ex girlfriend band together to force him to go to therapy, hes not tweeting as much and it seems like hes improved quite a bit

yea youve missed out on A LOT

bro forgot about league play

Its such a shame that hes turned into a lolcow now. He used to be my favourite streamer and player before he took his break from proplay, and now since hes had the psychotic episode hes gained a whole new group of "fans" who just laugh at him not being all there and try and get him to say racist things and shit. It's just disgusting

Rocket league NA was always #1 or #2 until recently, cs, brazil and NA used to be much closer to EU's level, OW NA used to be on top.

since gamr is gone someone needs to keep going on and on about SAO

ive come to the conclusion that anyone who uses the word peak doesnt know what theyre talking about

If that was true fair enough, but I think we both know it isnt

Its the same with other games though which is my point. The longer the esport scene goes on the harder they fall. val is a new esport so the decline hasn't started yet (hopefully)

yea and the sad thing is no NA team would pick him up

g2shahzams NA nepotism thread might just be a stroke of genius then lmao

korea is like the opposite of doomed

It feels like most of the established esports NA has fallen off in, or is beginning to decline in? Even though as a region they are probably the richest and most popular, the longer the esport goes on the further they fall off. Its a shame because especially recently, just watching EU vs EU in cs and rl has just been boring, theres no drama due to NA not being a competitor. Is it a curse?

Dota - finished
CS - pretty much finished
RL - 1 american player in top 8
LOL - Finished
OW - Finished
Apex - probs NA's best game

once again as a player yes but as an angle holder / crosshair placement abuser no.

I am comparing gameplay alone, not impact or stats. Ardiis doesnt have the best crosshair placement, his aim is shaky etc

bro had to clarify that as he walks down the street he sees A LOT of attractive guys... I think he might be a couple of hot guys away from realising something

yea he has to be smoking crack if he doesnt think dapr is attractive

you can do it a certain amount of times before you get stuck in the frozen time but the amount of times isn't knowable. Could be 1000+ times or it could be 3 times

reasons for replacing lew = british

based

obv not as a player but as a crosshair placement abuser / angle holder

yay is the angle holder of all time, only people that come close would be prime cryo, or some op crutch like wardell or cned

????????

did you see the same image i saw????

well hed be super lucky that technological advancements means he gets some sick robot arms and legs so wouldnt really affect him

edit: hed be super lucky that scientists discover a way to inject gekko dna into him so he can regrow limbs

uhmm technically you can sell it for real money so its not wasted 🤓☝️

Obviously not 100% as the players are still contracted, but every report on the layoffs calls it "every staff member" or "all of its employees". Once again, what are you fighting for. So supposedly they didn't lay off everyone and actually have a couple of staff members, why would an org like this be appealing to them over an org like G2 where they have a developed team, have a gamechangers team, multiple esports and revenue incomes etc, rather than an org where they have a big investment group who are clearly not willing to spend money

brother what are you talking about. all this virtue signalling shit doesnt exist anywhere outside of the US lmfao. laying off staff is pretty normal as most orgs are struggling, but thats normally 20-40% MAX; Laying off 100% isn't a good sign at all and does not scream financial security at all. Obviously their owners HAVE money but if they aren't willing to spend it why would that be appealing to riot?

i loooooove gambling

you are allowed to criticise the team that you support btw, you dont need to be so deluded. We arent going to bully you or call you a fake fan if you say anything bad about the guard. You speak like a baiter but its all genuine so its very confusing

kinggg is obviously a much better player overall, but its a similar situation where the calling isnt good as the solo igl. Leviathans issues aren't their fragging power, its the fact they run the same strats over and over and are very easy to read mid round.

.

in a world where people constantly flame non fragging IGLs for not fragging there is shahzam who frags very well. Its a similar situation with Leviathans Kinggg where hes a great fragger but his midrounding isnt great, but in a system like the old xset where there were two people (ayrin and dephh) calling, these sort of players can shine.

people just shit on him because he has a very loud = funny personality (no one actually cares about him being a rat but its a easy way to get their own grievances out)

yea i agree, penny and wippie both on new roles when they hadnt played for 6 months since v1 falling apart was never gonna go well

(especially forcing a jett main to learn how to play support)

its hard to say because the more powerful the vehicle the harder it will be to control, im not sure that the worst driver from 30 years ago could use the car to its fullest potential ngl

I work 44 hours a week as well currently, and I finish work at 11pm so its hard to queue that late as I dont want to wake people in my house up.
I went from Immo 2 playing like 16 games an act to now ascendant 1, its gonna take me ages to get back up ngl as my hidden mmr is still mid immortal so its not even like I can just stomp my way back up as I'm in lobbies of ex immos.

I lose 10 for a loss so i guess the idea is that if you have a 50% winrate you will climb back to your original rank but you have to play a lot for that to work

"trans women dont really face any discrimination" is crazy

it doesnt make sense to me how someone with a working brain can come to this conclusion, like you can ask any question and it just makes it fall apart.

when the argument is as baseless and poorly thought out as this one then there is no need to form any sort of response, as your response would literally have to be re-educating her on every aspect of women in gaming

classic do little research on a topic to push your own opinions and agenda

his raze looked like the best in the world when fnatic signed him so it wouldnt be far off to say hes still at that level with how hard he frags on cypher/KJ

yea i think sen and c9 are defo the teams who have the potential/have shown to be close to the top teams. I wouldn't mind either but c9 defo have a unique style of play

i really hope they do, such an exciting team to watch

I feel like him and the c9 boys took the loss in playoffs really hard, he streamed almost daily this whole year and hasn't streamed since the EG game. Its a shame because I watch a lot of his vods to learn skye / raze.

I hope theyre still grinding in scrims and havent let it hit them too hard as theyre so fun to watch when theyre in form
