Good luck you got this!

B1SK too good

I don't know really. Its kind of cool, but at the same time feels bit lame. I think Riot is adding skins so often that they just have to recycle ideas and can't come up with anything amazing or too memorable. They are good looking skins don't get me wrong, but kind of forgettable like most recent skins IMO.

A lot of experience on this team. Really excited of seeing how Keiko can evolve in this team, he is cracked. Mistic back to smoke and Magnum likely back to sentinels in this new meta is going to be good. Enzo just sounds so smart always and I really hope he takes the IGL role and starts grinding that. I think guy like him could make a good IGL in the future. And I have never been high on Shadow, but I haven't watched his games in long time so he could be good. Also he always finds his place in decent tier 2 teams so he must bring something.

Overall exciting roster and good addition to Polaris.

KJ kit is easy af to play, but Chamber's kit was relatively easy and overpowered. His ultimate is arguably the easiest gun in the game to use with one shot kill and firerate. Also headhunter is buffed Sheriff with a sight aka not that hard to use unless you are really low rank. And when it comes to rest Chambers could just set up in angles and off angles with OP or rifle and just get a kill and tp away unless enemies used bunch of util or they decided to be cocky and whiffed. Risk free. So even though Killjoy's kit is easy she still plays like rifler/lurker/anchor instead of just holding angle with op.

Free out of jail card, trap and buffed Sheriff and OP skill based? Far from it.

I think C9 should have dropped Mitch and signed Wippie. I would say he looked like the best NA sentinel earlier this year.

I don't mind. I would rather see Cypher, but I don't think Killjoy is problematic outside of her ultimate. Chamber was fucking aids in so many levels that I don't think Killjoy meta will be even close as bad.

Good roster. I'm not sure about Shadow yet, but tbf I haven't watched him lately and at least his latest stats look good. A lot of experience on this roster and definitely good platform for Keiko to grow. Polaris is going to be exciting for next season.

Agent : Kay/O maybe, its simple, sounds cool while has that edgy robot feel to it. And sounds like K.O. oviously. Most Valorant agent names are kinda boring or lazy, but this name pops out for me the most.

Pro Player(out of Sao Paulo Lock/In): maybe soulcas, its just cool. His real surname is Sulcas and changing it to soulcas is really cool. Sounds like artist name. I like names that are based on real name. Koldamenta honorable mention as well. Just sounds and looks cool.

vlr.gg username : maybe kristof, I don't know why but I just like how this name looks and sounds. Mortadelo and archetype are pretty cool as well, but maybe because I have seen them more often than some.

I really like collar jerseys. Really cool jersey just like 100T's. Old school, stylish and unique.

DO NOT GAMBLE NOT WORTH IT

22

Name: downgrade for sure
Jersey: looks nice and I'm pretty big fan, its really basic tho and wish they used the blue color more maybe
Logo: dogshit. I have never been huge fan of Damwon logo let it be Damwon Gaming or KIA, but this is easily the worst and not recognizable at all.

Makes sense, but for how long did he sign with Rebels for? Do you know.

Yeah remember someone mentioned that he had said something in ranked and I would imagine Rebels asking a lot for him, but damn I want to see him somewhere else. He has shown such good level for long time already.

How hasn't Vo0kashu made it past tier 2 spanish league so far? He is so good.

yes but that means that one of the teams must "waste" their ban or they leave it open and potentially suck on it because no one knows before the tournament.

I don't like fighting games and I played GoW 4 and it was good. I don't have PS5 for GoW5 and I watched it on stream anyway so not interested of playing.

Yeah I don't see Diamond 3(atm) as good and know that if I played more I could definitely get to Ascendant. I'm just bit inconsistent overall and especially during this time of year my hands freeze all the time so kinda hard to play consistently. Copium or not.

but overall I always knew that I have the potential to get to higher ranks in different FPS games, but at the same time I'm constantly thinking that other players are much better. I was thinking that I'm like gold level, but faced immortals and high asc in placements and tbf they weren't that great and I realized I had overrated the level of play in this ranks. I didn't have amazing stats this season, but at the same time I play so little that if I played more I would get better. I just don't want to dissapoint myself or my team, I'm scared of failing. In a way I'm like perfectionist in this sense. Valorant Community Cup gave me a lot of confidence because before that I rarely played and if I did it was always unrated.

I have never played much of Valorant ranked at all and this was the first season ever where I played all placements and got a rank(dia2). And when season changes soon I was thinking of playing more ranked, but we will see. I have always had anxiety of playing ranked and was pretty proud of myself when I managed to play the placements and realized that I'm not that bad.

Apex Legends season changes in week as well and I'm excited of playing different map because I don't like the current one rn.

and outside of gaming I'm continuing exercising and got extra motivation after new year because I was lacking a bit during Christmas. Started doing proper dumbbell exercise on top of cardio (not just doing bicep curls and hammer curls like before, but doing different moves and also targeting more specific areas). Overall really motivated right now.

yeah thats about it end of 2022 and early 2023

Valorant has pretty weak visuals overall, but Lotus is one of the worst maps for that. But maybe my opinion will change when we can actually play the map.

I hate when new maps are being played in tier 1 international tournaments. No one knows how to actually play the maps and no one knows how other regions/teams play it. Everyone just goes in with guessing and hoping that their preparation was the best. Its fun to see new maps in action ofc, but it just gives such big fluke element.

I don't know haven't played yet but:
visually its ugly and door mechanic seems interesting but not a huge fan of it based on what I've seen. Likely going to be ok map at least and I could see myself enjoying it.

Little Big Planet 2 (and 1st).
Endless amount of levels to play and you could create your own as well. So many different levels and I met so many nice people that I used to play with everyday. A lot of good memories from that game. Amazing game and suited perfectly for when I was around 9-12 year old

My prediction based on what I've seen, but hard to tell obviously:

Killjoy
Astra/Omen
KayO
Fade
+likely duelist Jett or Raze not sure yet

so pretty much current most meta Pearl comp

Most divorces are not based on abuse what are you talking about?

The system is bit fucked. Mothers always have an huge advantage. In a way its understandable, but still faulty.

All I know is Koldamenta > Vanity
rest are debetable while Yay is better than KOI's op player, at least for now

I bet SkRossi is still positive in KD and FK to FD

They really aren't though. Will was their best performing player in Champions. Will, the guy who got booted of the team. Cryo is lan proven, but rest not so much. Both Asuna and Derrek looked pretty bad. Bang had his moments, but was by no means top controller. And Stellar performed like expected. People seem to forget that 100T didn't have amazing Champions and there was pretty noticable difference between their level and DRX's and Fnatic's. Especially outside of Pearl.

and I don't count RedBull because completely different stakes and level of play

He really isn't that fragging, but one of the more fragging controllers in EMEA, because again most are low fragging IGLs.

NOO these qualifiers are not treating Finnish players well

The thing with controller role in EMEA is that majority of them are IGLs. You won't find many fragging controllers here. Avova, baddyG, L1NK are like closest. And then ofc you have guys like Soulcas and Mistic who sometimes play controllers. That's why we have so many good non-controller support players (sentinel, initiator etc), but lack in insane individual controllers. Its just not needed.

Not 100% sure, but my understanding is that Nvidia is overall at least slightly better. Everyone was hyping up AMD like crazy when they launched 6k series, but haven't heard that much of Radeon ever since (haven't followed much either tbf) so those likely didn't perform as well as Nvidia's 3k series. But not sure tho.

I think Omen will be good on this map but could be wrong. Too early to tell.

Monsteerr maybe

Riot just combined Anubis and Ancient pretty much. This map looks so similar to those 2 when it comes to sites and areas. Like really close.

But why? They pretty much nerfed Omen just so Split defense wouldn't be as strong...

Looks nice, but why every Valorant knife has to look like toy

we didnt even finish finals lol

I don't remember saying that 100T can't win RedBull? I was mainly saying how teams like Vitality and Heretics are going to surprise people's expectations and I personally didn't predict 100T to win and saw them as overrated even back then. And how did this change my comment on people overreacting?

Am I wrong though? Did I say something that was false? No I don't think so. I'm not just overreacting over fucking RedBull Homegrounds tournament like some delusional people.

How was Yacine to Guild hyped? They were supposed to get Twisten, but it failed.

True same with 100T. They are good, but hasn't by any means proven yet that they are one of the best. They had pretty mid Champions performance, but people act like they were amazing. And then they won RedBull homeground vs 2 month old teams where even the best one had 2 subs. Guys like Cryo and Bang are good, but holy fuck the overreaction over one 3rd party tournament. I'm not going to call Rhyme best controller 2023 even though he fucked Parla who likely were at same level as most teams in RedBull.

No idea, but found this video I don't know have you seen it. Didn't watch but based on comments it seems to work. But I also think the sounds are just supposed to be like that and you will just get used to it eventually. When switching headphones it usually takes some time to get used to the new ones because most sound bit different. When I switched from HyperX Flights to DT 770, I instantly disliked the sound quality(even tho objectively they are way better), but after week of use I got used to them and nowadays my old HyperX sound like shit.

I recommend buying studio headphones from brands like Sennheise, Bayerdynamic, Audio Technica etc and then buy external USB mic or just ModMic Uni if you want to make studio headphones work like headsets. But this usually cost bit more and may not be possible in every setup. But give way better sound and mic quality.
some PCs are not powerful enough to run every studio headphones so you might need to buy amp as well, also USB mics usually pick a lot of background noises so that could be an issue with open mic

But if you go for headsets then good old HyperX Cloud 2 is still really good value. Ok sound quality (what you get from headsets) and decent mic. Also pretty durable and still used by many pros. Logitech also has their G Pro ones that are apparently pretty similar. No idea about RedDragon never heard of.

Depends on person, but maybe like lvl 6-8, but some could struggle even in lower because CSGO works differently. Also many good Valorant players have experience from CSGO.
