they will never do that

Yeah thats really possible, haven't really watched him outside of watchparties. And again I have nothing against streamers who do that, but it just isn't for me and I prefer watching streamers who feel more genuine to me.

I would also add 7ssk7 even if he had bad opening game and also vo0kashu.

Ehh not in my opinion. He is streamer/youtuber mixture, got to known from Smash community IIRC and grew fast because he also did good YouTube content instead of just streaming 24/7. If I'm not wrong he was starting stand-up comedian or at least wanted to be one before content creation. So I think that explains quite a lot. Just confidence mixed with content creator/entertainer brain. But I like him. He has done a lot of cool events and usually seems pretty chill. Its been a meme on Twitch that he is unfunny "pepepains guy" and I can see that his personality isn't for everyone. I don't watch him and I don't find him that entertaining alone, but based on events that he has hosted or where he has been participant he seems like pretty nice guy and enables other content creators around him. Little douchey maybe.

and I think everytime you have streamers etc who actually spend money/find sponsors to do cool events its always nice. For example has hosted some Smash tournaments and thats important because Nintendo doesn't give a fuck about esport etc.

Yeah first episode was really good especially first half of it (understandably). I guess those early reviews weren't wrong. Only thing that sucks is that we know what will happen at all times because its same story but tbf its a good story so nice to see it again without the repetitive gameplay lol

How? He literally knows whats happening behind the scenes in scrims etc. And who are good and who aren't. Even if he hasn't been a coach for some months.

Even Sliggy said that in his opinion Parla is the best Turkish team when he did watchparty before the games

Same top 5 maybe Vamonos as 5th

What stupid logic is that? Let's replace IGL and arguably best sentinel player in the world with mediocre players who are now playing in tier 2 oh yeah Meddo's team didn't even qualify for tier 2.

What are you talking about? KOI has Sheydos, Trexx, Koldamenta, starxo and Wolfen that is stronger than EG on paper.

"random Turkish team" arguably most stacked Turkish team that are one of the favorites for Ascensions. Like I don't get how going 1-2 against them or winning 3-2 is worse than going 0-2 vs TSM.

but yes most these franchise teams are fresh so they will have close games vs tier 2.

Scream isn't proper IGL and you could see that in Liquid's games.

Good luck trying to outaim pro players while trying to outbrain them at same time

hopeully everyone can attend I dont want to see Reykjacik 2.0

I don't really watch him and by no means I don't want to insult him just random opinion of random internet user:

I think he tries too hard really often. I understand that he is a content creator so it makes sense, but sometimes it just goes to a point where it gets annoying. Streamers like him just feel so fake at times. Also from little I've seen seems like he gets easily upset/mad if anyone criticises something he does etc.

but as I said I haven't watched him much and its possible that I'm wrong. It just that he feels really similar to a lot of other streamers who just feel annoyingly fake trying to make it on top. So content creation and number centric people.

Sayf is insane, but yes they don't have proper known Raze player at the moment so either him or Jamppi has to pick that up if needed.

I think both Americas and EMEA will be 3-6 team regions while APAC will be max 3 team region. But its too early to tell, but I don't think Pacific will do that well. Even historically only DRX and PRX have done something and Zeta during Iceland where they were ahead of meta IMO. All other Asian teams have always just won some games by being unpredictable and doing plays that no one expects. And its good for short time, but gets figured out quickly and then its gg. But who knows, just my opinion/prediction based on past and what I think.

I don't know tbh. Yay was such big part of their success and Marved carried them games as well. I think their stonks would have dropped anyway with Chamber nerfs, but on top of that they downgraded 2 of their players. Ardiis Jett is good don't get me wrong, but even in FPX felt like he was always hard entrying on Jett so I don't know how it would look on different system. Victor always sacrificed a lot for OpTic and so did Ardiis for FPX during Jett meta if I'm not completely wrong. So I don't know what happens when one of them has to start putting up numbers. We just haven't seen that really. Also s0m is decent, but he isn't Marved and Marved won them so many important rounds.

maybe I just feel that neT is most of the time bottom fragging for Guard and loses them some rounds

Tex and neT are kinda meh

Parla beat FUT and Giants

Low clout = bad
okay

Nice event hopefully they invite EMEA teams next time if they do one and they accept

Already time for Jett one tricks to play something else

1 Canadian, 1 British, 1 American and 2 Brazilians soo...

oh that makes sense

Pacific top 3 is kind of up in the air. DRX and PRX should be 1st and 2nd, but I have no idea about the rest. I don't really rate any of the other teams so anyone out of Zeta, T1, GenG, Talon could take it. But we will see maybe T1 gets better or GenG does something good.

Its good and reminds me a lot of those CSGO Summit tournaments. Casters just casually chilling on sofa and casting the games. Actually this looks a lot of like summits so likely inspired by it heavily. Just if it wasn't just NA and 4 teams. Also off topic it was kind of cool having Sideshow, Sean and Balla sit next to each other when all of them come from different games.

I think its between Astra and Omen depending on what you want. Both have rechargable smokes that are good on this map, Omen's flash and Astra's suck/concussion are strong obviously, Astra ulti seems pretty good an Omen's is ok due to 3 sites and Omen's tp will be good when fighting for different areas in map because you can for example tp across rooms and you could even do some plays with the doors.

I don't actually remember years have went by so fast. Those were just the ones that came to my mind. And I didn't watch back then either.

old: G2 vs FPX
middle ages: Fnatic vs Liquid
future/current: FPX/NaVi vs Fnatic, but FNC vs TL is still classic

I would be really surprised if DRX ever won single international tournament. So agreed. But we will see.

EMEA and its not even close. Valorant Simulator said 14-0

bump and best of luck!

It has, but not anymore. I think the results would have been very different if the events were played in Americas or Asia. EMEA just provides good scrimming enviorment with good tier 1 and tier 2 scenes. Like for example if you look at LoL teams always want to scrim in Korea and Korean teams always arrive just in time for events because they have no reason to leave Korea to practise in EU or NA for example.

ok this is just biased bait take, but its definitely going to be interesting factor to keep eyes on moving forward.

Hard to say, but I think its going to be EMEA team. Teams always come to EU and get good scrims and evolve their game while now there will be events outside of EU meaning that these teams won't get as good scrims anymore. Obviously Sao Paulo has 10 teams from each region, but I'm not sure how often participates scrim against each other. At least going to be a factor for Masters Tokyo.

Not your problem. It sucks, but that is just how it goes and she just have to get over it. Also its been only 2 days so its kind of understandable, but eventually let it be like week or two she will likely get back to more normal. Just tell her friend to make sure that everything is ok for time being. Some people will overreact over stuff like this and might not think clearly. Overall I would recommend just letting it be, but obviously you could also sent message or let the friend tell her that you don't want her to drink and everthing is going to be alright or something. I don't know

I watch Valorant esport for high level gameplay and competition not fake drama baiting for interactions

The Guard will win it easily edit nvm I forgot their lost Sayaplayer

Yeah Monsteerr is really good and even performed in VCT. I was really surprised that he didn't make it to franchising, but looking at starxo case it seems like Acend asked quite a lot for their players. It was also just before Chamber nerfs so sentinel stonks were even lower.

not old Acend but this new one is really good as well at least in tier 2

Giants #1 and RRQ #30

How is team with Prod, Dizzy and Sinatraa stacked? Zombs and Marved are the only pro level players and even then Zombs is like mid tier 2 nowadays likely. Sinatraa hasn't be pro for like 1.5 years.

And Fokus was missing their best player and played with stand-in instead

I agree with most, but would maybe put Case over Rebels for Spain. They have started slow, but their potential is pretty high IMO. Actually Spain is bit hard to predict atm.

Apeks looks good, but Fokus has a lot of firepower in purp0, Jugi, Lime and Lewis. Apeks definitely has the experience factor, but I think Fokus looks better unless Apeks' players are on crazy form.

Acend, Parla, Fokus, Apeks and not sure about 5th. I think bonk, Mouz and Case has potential but could also be some Turkish team because I'm not too up to date.

Hopefully Sao Paulo is better than Rio De Janeiro

Derke easy

Haven't played much yet, but for what I've figured this map is bad for lineups. Sova is like only character getting any value out of lineups. A works well, but B and C are bad for lineups. Fade and Killjoy especially from what I've tried. But tbf I don't know how this map will work like how active sand and A "mid" are going to be. Just sites.
